Spectacular Rise Feature OF
Active Market in Which
Oil Stocks Lead.
BY Cosmopolitan News Service.

NEW YORK, March 20.--Under
leadership of oil stocks, many of
which reached new high records for
this year, the stock market showed
distinct firmness in the first two
hours trading today. An encour-
aging feature was the conservative
way in which bullish operations
were conducted. Save for a spec.
tacular rise Of 20 points in Piggly-
-Wiggly, the advance was held within
reasonable limits, suggesting the de-
termination of strong interest to
safeguard the validity of the market
structure. From time to time ir-
regular tendencies appeared due to
profit taking. but enough buying
orders were received to take care
Of all offerings without impairing
the price level.
Buying was particularly heavy in
Californian Petroleum and MARYLAND
Oil, both advancing about 2 points
to 99& and 49K, respectively. Pro-
ducers and Refiners attained new
high at So. but ran into profit taxi
ing, causing decline to 50. Phillips
Petroleum, Houston Oil and Pacific
Oil were also actively bought at
rising prices.
Piggy. Wiggly Up.
The advance in Piggly-Wigg was
based on reports that the investiga-.
ton committee of the New York
stock exchange will not strike the
company from the trading list, due
to the assurance given by the COM
pany's officials that the floating sup
ply will be enlarged by the with
drawal of the company's offer to sell
the stock to the public at SIS a. share
on the partial payment plan. When
spectators recently started to ham
mer down the stock, officials of
Piggy Wiggly devised the stock sell
ing method to checkmate them.
Steel and equipment stocks did
not command much attention, but
firmness was well maintained. I
Rails Firm.
! Copper stocks enjoyed a short
period of strength, but the move
ment was soon checked, after which
most stocks receded to yesterdays
closing. Copper metal held strong
at 17as cents, and demand was re-
ported as great as ever.
Motor and tire stocks ruled firm
and fractiOnally higher.
A somewhat easier tendency was
noted in the sugar division, due to
the slightly lower price for the raw
commodity at 5Is cents pound.
Cuban Cane preferred lost about
q point at 61A
Great interest was taken in rail-
road stocks. Income statements
for February win soon come to
hand and favorable results are gem
orally looked for. Wabash pre-
ferred "A" was strong, advancing
more than point to 1874. Other
rails were fractionally higher.
American Wool was firm, rising
one point to 1864, and Beech Nut
rose two points to So.
Money renewed at per cent.

Tee, Fairway And
 Green
By "CHICK" EVANS
FIND YOUR STARTING POINT

Most Bolf players go along year after year without ever learning how to divide the golf stroke into it's logical parts, or, vet is more exactly where the stroke begins.
 Two factors must begin auto matically and at the same time In making any kind of a stroke. One of these Is the stroke Itself, the oth- CT Is rhythm.
 Of course, you will say. the stroke must begin-bpt that's it! Just where do you actually begin yours? Chances are you don't know.
 Years ago I discovered that there must be a beginning point in the actual stroke and, by making tests and observing what happened when undertook to throw a ball or q stone, saw that the first movement of the whole effort was a slight pushing forward of my hand and arm, after which the hand and arm were drawn backward over my shoulder, the whole effort melting into a backward and forward move ment of rhythm. The same thing must take place with the golf club. Yol' throw the clubhead into the ball as if it were a stone tied on the end of a string.
 Observing these things I developed the forward press, which for years has been part of my game. I take my stance and get all ready for the stroke.e That Is the address, the waggIe of the club and so on are disposed of-and now I am ready to proceed with the shot. The first movement is pressing forward of the hands as If I were to throw a baseball for am about to throw the clubhead. Then l drag my arms backward, with the clubhead follow ing, after which I push the club back and around with my left arm and left shoulder. This forces 1t to a point about as high as my right shoulder, at which point my body begins to turn at the waist in the pivot. The last half of the back swing is entirely a body movement not the arms.
 This forward press relaxes what ever tension there may be in my muscles. It gets the stroke rightly started because the rhythm Of the whole swing begins right at It's start. The rhythm continues up with the club and down again and through the ball, with the clubhead attaining its greatest velocity Just as it meets the ball.
 Get started right, and know ex- actly where your starting point IS. You may have one entirely different from mine, but must have one. Moreover don't rush the clubheao too much. Give 1t time to get up, time to turn and. of great import ance, give it time to get well start ed on its downward journey before you apply the full acceleration.

Old Time Stars To Be Present At.
 Anson Memorial
By RODNEY F. BUTCHER tLeased Wire to The AGe-Herald)

CHICAGO, Sept. 3.-The Babe Ruths, the Ty Cobbs and the George Sisters of those days before the breed of baseballs had been crossed with golf balls will soon be gathering here for the last Gap Anson day"
 On September 16, which Is a Sum day. they will unveil the Cap Anson memorial, in tribute to the cld-time captain of the Chicago White Sox, whose name looms as large on the scrolls of organized baseball as John >,ancocks signature does on the Declaration of Independence. Death called three strikes on Anson a few months ago.
 President John Heydler of the Ma tional league has sent invitations to score of men, most of them gray haired and getting along pretty well in age, whose names were on the tongues of all baseball fans 90 or 40 years ago.
 Among these will be Dan Brouth- CTS. who used to play first base for Detroit. Brouthers was the Babe Ruth of his day, huge in stature and strength and popular all over the circuit. In 1882 he led the National league batting list with an average of .S65. During most of the 'S0s he and Anson, both first seekers, were rivals for league batting honors.
 Hardie Richardson. the fleetest outfielder of all time; Bill Gore and Mark Baldwin, the once famous twirler, will also be there when they pull the curtain from before the white shaft at the Oakwoods ceme- tery, which marks the last resting place of their old rival and friend. Billy Sunday To Speak
 John Tener, Anson's old pitcher who made the world tour with him and later became governor of Penn sylvania, is going to make a little address in behalf of the old timers. Billy Sunday the evangelist who once played center field on the team that Anson led, is expected to be another speaker. Base ball Commissioner Kenesaw NJ Landis will be third speaker. and Heydler, on behalf of the National league, will present the burial plot and the memorial shaft to the surviving members of the An son family.
 The old-timers will be grouped in a special place, apart from many fans of the last century who prob ably will also come. Charlie Comis- key, who lead the St. Louis Browns against Anson's tribe for world s championship, will be In this group. So will Ed Pfeffer, whom many think has never been equaled as second baseman Pfeffer played for Anson Jimmy Ryan, an old outfielder. Dah- len, the flashy shortstop, Bill Lange, Malachi Kittredge, Franz Chance ana Clark Griffith-all members of An sons original "Cubs"-will stand alongside. Brouthers, Pfeffer, Rich- ardson and the others.
 The New York Giants of old days will be represented by Amos Rusiei whose name in baseball is traditional, John McGraw will appear for the Giants of today.

PEGLERS PEGS
wHAT THE PUBLIC WANTS

A fellow named Arnold Bennett once wrote a play called What the Public Wants" that was left on base after ; a quick little print Tn New York because he didn't know what the public wanted If you had though of Babe Ruth, Dempsey. Til den, Mallory and some other of the long drivers in golf he might not have made his mistake. He could have seen that what the public wanted his play didn't have-the wallop.
 Why did the public flock 100000 strong to Jersey City on a sultry night to see two of the most absurd boxers that 1t was possible to corral anywhere on the American continent? Because one of them had the wal lop-Senor Firpo. Why doesn't the public flock 100000 strong to Billy De Foe when he Is promised on fight card? Because De Foe. as fine a boxer as the eyes of the present ringside clientele have gazed upon, has no wallop.
 What explains the greatness of Babe Ruth and the comparative un- played by the grea tinfield of the Giants? Does the public want to see an infielder start double play by quick toss of ten feet from short to second? Or would 1t rather sec Ruth slam one beyond the wall? We'll. everybody knows Babe Ruth but how comparatively obscure Is Everett Scott, the Yankees shortstop. For the sake of the walloy, organized baseball scrapped inside baseball" and introduced the rabbit ball with It's long carry.
 The hole-in-one in golf is always recorded in the papers. It certainly isn't a scientific stroke for no mem Der of the Hole -In-One club will claim he really expected to make 1t.

EVANS PLANNING FOR BOXING CARD AT ATHLETIC CLUB
Lew SiIvers May Be Obtained To Meet Tim 0'DoWd Here
 Monday Night

Dave Evans, impresario of boxing at the Birmingham Athletic club, re- turned from the Interfartes camp on the Warrior river Monday full or enthusiasm and sunburn. Dave an nounced with more or less audibillty that there would in all probability be a boxing card at the B. A. c. Monday night.
 M'nsieur Evans doled out the in- formation that he and Chairman Bill Streit had their hearts set on bring ing the sensational Lew Silvers to Birmingham for the week-away scrap. It Is the aim of club officials to match Silvers with either Luckie Tenner of Charleston, S. C., or Tim O'Dowd of Atlanta. Tenner Is one of the few little fellows below the M. and D. line that Siivers hasn't met and beaten.
 On the other hand. local fans have never seen Tim O'Dowd licked de- cisively In Birmingham. Some of the experts figure that Silvers can hand Tim a walloplng. and they are anx- ious to see the two mix matters lo- cally.
 The slverss person Is one of the most willing scrappers the club has ever had any dealings with. Jake Abel, who has the feather under his wing, says that Silvers is willing to meet any man of his weight in tho world. And that's that. If either O'Dowd or Tenner is secured the lo- cal fan colony will be in for hectic night next Monday evening.
 M'sieur Dave also recited enthusi- astically a duo of battles he had al- ready booked up for the prelims on Monday nights card. Kid Golden of Ensley Is to meet Spark Plug in an eight-round semiwindup thriller. and Tony Mareno has been booked with Tom Harris for four rounds of fisticuffing.
 In the meantime Dave impatiently awaits wires from Tennes and O'Dowd, to whom he has made pro- posals for Monday nights affair.
