PLENTYWOOD WINS
OPENING GAME

Before a crowd of nearly five humid
red loyal fans, Plentywood broke the
jinx of two years standing, by de-
feating Dooley's much heralded ball
team by a score of to 2.
In spitesOf the wintry weather, the
fans were treated to an excellent
pitchers battle and brilliant fielding.
The features of the game were the
pitching of Seiffert and Kingsley and
the phenomenal work of Stein for
Plentywood and McKenna for Doc
ley.
STEMS catch in the eighth inning
undoubtedly saved the day for Plen-
tywood.
Plentywood should be proud Of its
teams initial efforts. and get behind
them for the season. Both teams
played a clean game throughout, and
the management deserves much cred
it. Stelter of Plentywood is hitter
of nc mean ability.
The next game will be played on
Memorial Day, May Both. This will
be return game with DOoley at
Plentywood.

PRICE CHANGES ARR
IRREGULAR IN EARLY
STOCK MARKET TRADE
Trading Is Dali Pending
Action of Steel Com.
pany Directors.
BY STUART p. WEST.

Copyright BY The San Antonio Light.
New York. April 29.-In today's
stock market everything was hang.
ing upon the action of the U. s. Steel
Corporation directors who were to
meet after the close Of business.
Early in the day Steel common was
offered down below 90 and other
stocks lost a half point to Il point.
But traders at work on the short
side were afraid TO go far Another
J0-cent extra dividend was generally
expected, but the disposition was to
see how this would affect the market
before entering into new commit
ments.
Bethlehem Steel was weaker than
other members of the steel group. the
reason being that while the first
quarter earnings showed a fair mar
gin over dividends, il was not
large enough margin TO assure against
an important reaction in the steel
trade.
American Wooden had another sink
ing spell without, however, anything
fresh in the wooden trade situation.
The best information is that nothing
is being earned on this stock and
that nothing has been earned for
some time, but even those who are
sponsors for this information do not
draw the conclusion that the dividend
is in immediate danger.
u. 8. Rubber stockss after having
been sold up by short covering for a
week or more, were inclined to drop
again. There is nothing in the mar
ket at the present moment more in
teresting than U. s. Rubber preferred
Around 20 and paying s per cent it
returns 10 "a per cent. The presi-
dent of the company and also the
president of the B. f. Goodrich Com
pany are on record with statements
that the tire business turned the
corner in the first part of the year
and that the first three months were
satisfactory.
In the general list trading was dull
and the price changes irregular.
Fresh predictions that the world
sugar crop would break. all records
brought some selling into the sugar
stocks although they did not material
ly weaken the sugar market itself.
On the other hand American Can met
strong support below 101. Stude-
baker was off at one time over a
point on the impression that the re-
port for the first quarter, due We'd
nesday, would be disappointing. Talk
of a stock dividend accompanied the
rise in Cast Iron Pipe to new high
record. Iron Products went along
sympathetically,
