The First Game


 Tho Stanley Works, in their nattY maroon and white uniforms looked like & veteran team when they took the floor and when, after minute Of play LaHar dropped one in, which did not count however, they seemed to be started on a runaway, It re- mained for Chief Larson however, 70 score the first point. LaHar roughed the chief bit and the lat ter tossed in a pretty one from the free line, after a minute and 40 sec onds of play. A few seconds later however. the Stanley Works hoped into the lead when Pelletier dropped a field goal. Grobstein also hooked in g long shot from the middle of the floor and then Schade, after sev- eral attempts, also rang the bell and foul shots by LaHar and Grobstein netted eight points. In the mean time the Corbins were having tough sledding and the only points they got in the opener were Larson's field goal and two free throws by the same player.
 In the second half however, it was a reiuvenated Corbtn team that took the floor. They guarded the Stanley Workers closely and played the ball continuously. Carrazza got neat field goal and Larson tied the score at 8 all with another after two minutes of play. A foul by Grob- stein put his team in the lead again and Walthers tied it again. Larson made 1t 17-11 with a foul shot but IaHar hooked in another bringing the Stanley Workers up to 1S. Pel- letter also got in another field goal before being elected under the four personals rule and LaHar likewise got @ second. Kallgren, who suc- oeeded Schade, also tailed double decker. The rest of the points by the Stanley Works were from fouls.
 The feature of this game was the playing of old Chief Larson. This veteran of many hard fought game played one of the most bril- liant defensive and offensive games of his entire career. lie scored II of his teams 25 points and got some remarkably fine shots from the floor, He also shot five out of eight free thrws.

He gave 1t the old college try"
 That is \ favorito expression used by professional ball players when some athlete. after going the limit in an effort to make a play, just fails.
 Ball players unfamiliar with the lihcral advantage of college cduca- ton do know that it is A "Rah" "Rah' trait for the colcgian to go after everything.
 In other words it's just plain col lege spirit.
 What is this college spirit that we hear so much about? often it Is pointed out as the thing that divides the professional game from the col lcge brand of athletics.
 The thought is that the athlete with the college spirit will take many more chances than the player whose sole incentive is mere money.

IL will be recalled that the game was played in a driving rain on a field inches deep in mud. As matter Of fact, such condition has existed in the last two meetings be- tween Yale and Harvard.

 The half ended with the score ( 10 1 in favor of Harvard. Gchrke, the Crimson haIfback, kicking two goals from field.
 IL looked as if the game was to be another complete reversal of form for Yale. The supporters of the Blue were amazed. Harvard, figured easy, was enjoying a six point margin and the game half over.
 Incidentally it was apparent that six points was a considerable advan- tage on field so unfit for play. Harvard merely had to play de- fensive game to win.

WILSON DECLINE IPSETS MARKET First Grade Rails Only Issues To Net
 Gains

NEW YORK; Aug. 25.-sharp brealxs in Wilson s& Co. issues. following the appointment of a>Teceiver for the fcom4 pany, unsettled the entire bond market today. Prices crumbled generally in all groups, except the first-grade rails, most of which closed the day with small net gains.
 Although the Wilson liens fluctuated nervously from the start of trading, heavy selling did not ebreak out until afteT the annenncemeHt that receiver. ship proceedings had been started.
 The decline in the convertible 73ks at one time extended to about points, but an official statement from the con- pany that the action would be con- tested brought about q feeble rally to- points for the first 6s, 39s points for the convertible 7hs and points for the convertible 6s.
 Pronounced irregularity in the stock market accounted to some extent for the hesitancy of trading in other bonds, notably the rail issaes. St. Paua mort gages again were active, but subject to conflicting price movements, the 4s of 1925 displaying e firzner tones while the refunding 41Ss lost more than a point. Heaviness cropped out in Penna | general 41Ss, Chicago Great Western As, Missouri Pacific 6s and Northern Pacific Refunding 6s.t
 Other weak spots included Wickwire~ Spencer Is, which reacted 4 points, and Third Avenue Railway adjustment 5s, which fell back points as . selling movement developed in all the local l traction issues.s Both the French gov- ernment's active issues declined q point reach on reports that the Dawes plan would encounter serious opposition In Germany.
 Public offering will be made tomor- row of $12, ,500, 900 Pacific Gas and Elec- trio company 6h per cent bonds, due in 1852, at a price of 98 and accrued inter- est to yield about 5.65 per cent. Pro- ceeds will be psed for plant. improve ments.

 STEADES WHEAT.
Slurnping Prices Rally
 Sharply With Move

CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-Wheat rallied sharlfy today, with the absorption of offerings in the pit, and prices which had hit the down-grade earlier in the session reversed their course and ad- vanced to well above Saturdays finish. At the cloa& wheat was hc to 1%c low CT, with september at &1.24Q1.24h and December at $1.29@129h. Corn was Ac lower to 1%c higher; oats were un- changed to %c up. and provisions ranged from 3hc loss to 5Oc gain.
 Renewed liquidation brought about a sharp decline in wheat values early, fol- lowing firm start on reported strength in Liverpool, but after the selling spent considerable buying of the September delivery. This was credited to houses with export connexions, indicating there had been a heavy export business done overnight. Some large figures were mentioned as to the amounts of wheat sold during the day; and, while there was considerable buying by aearboard interests and cash houses, accurate esti- mates could mot be made.
 Corn and oats likewise were affected by liquidation, prices of corn declining more than Sc in some instances only to recover in the later trading. Weather conditions were favorable for the growth of corn and for the threshing of oats, the movement in the latter in creasing rapidly.
 Provisions broke sharply early on selling of lard by commission houses, part of which was attributed to sym pathy with cotton seed oil and a drop on the break and rally ensued.

 RISES 10 POINTS
Reactionary Price Move ments Characterize
 Stock Market


 sNEW YORK, Aug. 25.-Reactionary price movements characterized today's stock market until just before the close, when brisk demand developed for Gen. eral Electric, sending that stock up more than ten points from it's low to 276 and bringing about rallying tenden- cies in other sections of the list. Clos ing prices, however were generally low CT, Colorado Fuel showing a loss of more than seven points at 35% and de- elines of point or so being quite com mon elsewhere.
 Active short selling was in evidence throughout the day. This was encOur- aged by the apparent cessation of pool operations in several popular stocks and the institution of receivership proceed ings against Wilson & Co.,, Chicago packers, stocks and bonds of that com pany recording sharp losses. Commits sion houses reported that substantial liquidation was for the account of small traders with weakly margined accounts, although a good investment demand for high-grade rails and industrials de- veloped through some of the odd lot houses.
 The so-called pivotal issues showed only minor changes on the day. United States Steel common closed higher at 1O8% while Baldwin, American Can and Studebaker closed fractionally lower.
 the announcement of gasoline price cuts in New England undoubtedly were contributing factors to the days sell oH he Eo place in stocks in which pools were re- ported to be operating. International Paper dropped from B IA to 4SHs and then rallied nearly two points from it's low. Net losses of two points or more weEe recorded by Chandler Motors, American Ice, American Water Works, Otis Steel preferred, Virginia Railway and Power and Adams Express.
 Rails were rather sluggish until just before the close when a good demand for the so-called Van Swerningen- is- sues on report that the Erie directors had acceptedrthe terms of the proposed merger with Nickel Plate" with certain closed IF points higher at Ill, Pore Marquette common climbed 2as to G1$ and Erie common and first preferred otAO OtACo0D DCoAC " OhAO SdAuCu ubOut d point each.
 New Haven which had sold down to 221a, rallied to 23A, off If. :, Other low priced carriers also were heavy, losses of point or more being recorded by Wabash preferred "A" the Wheeling & Lake Erie issues, St. Louis, Southwestern and Delaware and Hudson. International railways of Central America was moderately active around the years high.
 United States Cast Iron Pipe, Hous- ton Oil, Jordan Motors, Maxwell Mo- tors, IA" Montgomery Ward and Sears Roehuck were among the relatively few issues to close at net gains of a point or more.
 Call money held steady at per cent. Time money and commercial paper rates were unchanged with business quiet. eFOreign exchanges displayed firm tone. Demand sterling held fairly steady just above $4.48 and French francs ruled around 5.3S. Most $ the other rates showed on nominal V 4ges.

COTTON MARKET
 BREAKSSHARPLY.
Bearish Interpretation Is Placed On Government
 Crop Report

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-A sharp break of 130 to 150 points took place in to- days cotton market in reflection or the bearish interpretation placed by cotton traders on Saturdays government crop report, which seemed to confirm ex- pectations among traders of 13,0OO,O00- bale crop. The selling movement start ed In Liverpool, which had the first op- portunity to discount the government re- port. as the local exchange closed 10 minutes before 1t was made public.
 December contracts declined to 28.10c before midday, or 140 points below Sat urday's closing quotation and bS6 points below the high price touched toward the end of last month. Trade buying was reported on a scale down. There was considerable covering later, De- cember closing at 24.02c, or 27 points up from the lowest. The general mar ket closed steady at net declines or 1O7 to 11S points.
 The market was active and more or less excited at the opening, owing 10 the biz break in Liverpool. Evidently the weakness abroad encouraged IocaI traders in their bearish interpretation of Saturdays official crop figures. Heavy liquidation featured the first hour. October broke to 24.05c and Jam uary to 2674c, while March sold off to 24O6c, making net declines of 140 to 150 points on the more active posi- tions. Trade interests were credited with buying some of the contracts soid on the decline, and there was good deal of profit-taking by recent sellers promoted by apprehensions that the tropical storm might yet cause rain in open cotton in the eastern belt. This prospect found little or no reflection in the official forecast, but there was some buying late in the afternoon on the very high temperatures reported over Sunday in the southwest and last prices showed rallies of about 26 to 37 points from the lowest. The early selling was accompanied by reports that spot basis was easing slightly in the southwest, but local brokers attributed the bulk of the pressure to liquidation of remaining long accounts or selling by Liverpool, Wall street, western and local operators one the lcrop figures.

NEW oRLEANs COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 25.-The cot- ton market made a full response to the bearish character of the government report issued after the close on Satur- day and showing a condition of 64.9 and a crop indication of 12, 1000 bales, exclusive of linters, in the shape of decline of 125 points, $6.26 bale. AS Liverpool had several hours start on the American markets, that center showed a decline of 92 penny points, or more than 70 points lower than due, when the local market opened. First trades here showed a loss of 100 points on October, compared with Saturdays close, and December was 95 points down. Prices continued to ease off after the opening, until October traded at 2S.40c and December at 2S.50c, or 125 points below the previous close on both months. The market then became quieter and during the afternoon raI- He'd about 25 points, most of which was retained to the end, the close showing net losses for the day of 106 to 116 points.
 Numerous reports were received from Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama Of rapid de- terioration, due to the heat and lack of rain. Temperatures on Sunday were the highest of the season. In Texas, 43 stations reported temperatures of 100 to 1O9 and in Oklahoma 28 stations showed, 100 to 10S.
 The tropical storm, which has been lowering off the Atlantic coast for sev- eral days, made its presence felt nearer the coast by showers and low barometer readings.

asNEW YORK, Aug. 25.-Stock prices opened firm on an accumulation Uf weekend buying orders in todays curb market but the general list soon turned reactionary with most of the oils in free supply as a result of another series of gasoline price cuts.

Standard Oil of New York and Gulf Oil of Penn sylvania closed fractionally higher.
