Presidents Action in Signing
Tax Bill Has Mildly Stimu-

By HI. j. DUIZEND,

NEW YORK, June 3.-President
Coolidge's action in signing the tax
reduction bill had only a mildly
stimulating effect in the forenoon
trading on the stock exchange today.
The list refused to become excited
over the event.
Transactions were in slightly
larger volume compared with yes
terday's negligible total, but dull
ness was still the outstanding fea-
ture. Values hardened as the seS-
sion progressed, but it was obvious,
that a good portion of the gains re-
suited from the closing out of short
commitments with the exception Of
the advances achieved in the so.
called investment issues and the
public utilities which were attrib-
uted to buying Of the very best kind.
Utah Securities, American Water
Works and North American estab-
Ished substantial gains while such
standard dividend paying stocks as
General Electric, Baldwin, United
States Steel, American Can, Norfolk
and Western and Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western were under per-
SiStent accumulation.
In the more speculative field
motor shares were outstandingly
strong, probably In connection with
the optimistic views as regards the
automobile situation expressed by
the president Of the General Motors
Corporation.
Independent steels also showed up
well in spite of reports Of still
lower iron and steel operations in
some districts. Oils were steady to
firm. Leathers and tires improved
on short covering. United States
Cast Iron Pipe was benefited by
pool manipulation.
Low-priced rail shares followed the
trend Of the industrials, ruling mod
erately higher.

Stiff Neck Cause of
Jamieson's Poor Work

You may recall that for
months last season Charley Jam
Lesson, Cleveland left fielder, was
in the thick of the fight for the
league batting championship,
At one time he was leading
the great Ruth by nearly 80
points and as late as August he
was hut - points behind the
pace-setting Hellmann. Then
suddenly he went into mys-
FERROUS slump, and dropped
steadily back. finally finishing
with .945 mark.
The critics explained the
slump by saying Jameson had
been hitting over his head and
this was generally accepted as
the truth.
The fact was, however, Jam
Lesson developed stif neck fol-
lowing a somersault catch and
this stayed with him for weeks,
affecting his swing and timing
TO such an extent that he was
unable 10 meet the ball solidly.
When he finally recovered he
was too far back to catch up
with the leaders.
