only three on flies to the infield.

SPEAKER TOUTS SEWELL
TO LEAD SHORTSTOPPERs

Joe Sewell should be the most
valuable shortstop in the,>American
League this season." says, Manager
Speaker in discussing his clubs
prospects. Joe has a big edge
over all others when it comes to
batting and his fielding is CON
stantly improving. Any cratic
features in his work can perhaps
be traced to the ract that he has
been forced to work with so many
different second basemen."
Like Speaker, Joe himself figures
this to be a SeWell year.

Prices Generally inclined Up
ward in Early
Trading

NEW YORK, Jan. Stock prices
were generally inclined upward in
the early trading in the stock mar
ket today, but price changes were
narrow and trading was confined to
q smaller number Of attractive Is
sues, in which the rallies and oils
predominated. Dividend railroad
and industrial stocks like Southern
Pacific, which made strong "play"
in the market yesterday, were sold
in good volume on profit taking and
declined a point or two. Oil stocks
lost nothing by the heavy volume
Of selling which came into some of
the more active issues; but some
Of the specialties stocks, including
Universal Pipe and radio, were
heavy.
Despite the flow Of about $4,000
barrels Of crude oil daily in the new
Workman pool, in Texas, total pro-
duction of oil last week was only
1000 barrels a. day more than in
the preceding week. Reports
reached the financial district of
pending increases in crude oil
prices, some of which may take eff
feet before the end OF the month.
Already a premium is being paid
above posted rates in the mid-conti-
nent and Pennsylvania fields. The
Oil stocks reflected the better feel
ing in the industry.
Strength in steel stocks was due
to reports that important manufac-
turers Of steel are preparing to
speed up production. The United
States Steel Corporation viii expand
its operations at SO per cent OF ca
pacity next week, against the cur
rent rate Of IS per cent Motors
were also in good demand, though
prices showed a tendency to drop to
slightly lower levels.
Bears made an effort to disIodge
holdings of industrial etocks in the
second hour by concentrating heavy
selling on American Can, Worthing-
ton Pump and other active indus
trials. The effect Of these tactics
was to slow up the market rather
than to cause any weakness in
speculative shares. The use Of the
words bankruptcy, disaster, receiv-
ership," etc., in connection with the
financial affairs of the st. Paul
road by those who presumably in
tend to be helpful caused some ir-
regularity in both the stocks and
bonds of that company in the listed
market. Outside of that the rail
list was steady in this period.

RAILWAY ROTARY WINS
BATTLE WITH STATE PLOW

WEST CHESTER, Pa, Jan. "a
battle of snow plows interested
thousands of travellers over the
Lincoln highway between Downing
town and Coatesville. It was be-
tween the plows Of the State high
way department and a big rotary
or the West Chester Railway Com
pany. Early this forenoon the
highway plows threw an immense
volume of snow from the concrete
upon the railway tracks and
stopped traffic; then the big trolley
plow landed it back upon the road.
The highway force came back with
three plows and covered the tracks
once more.
Although the snow was tossed
back and forth six times, and when
night came the trolley had the
best OF the battle, and the snow
covered the concrete. The State
men, however, stood by and threat
ened to toss it back again as soon
as the last car had travelled the
rails at midnight and block the
line for the morning traffic.
