STOCK PRICE S
AGAIN RESUME F,
NOV t
(By The Associated Press)
lck market aNerages:

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-(P-With buy
ing stimulated for reduction i'm call
money rates and n series of favorable
dividend announcements, stock prices
resumed their upward movement today
on a greatly enlarged volume of trad
ing. The brisk demand for high grade
rails and industrials was attributed in
part to the heavy reinvestment of year
end dividend and interest payments.
Seldom in recent weeks have the So
called standard industrials shown such
uniform strength. u. S. Steel common
crossed 149 for q gain of more than
two points, and Baldwin, American
Smelling, Allied Chemical and General
Motors closed q point or so higher.
Rails did not move UP as fast trading
in those issues being restricted pend
ing the announcement of decisions of
applications for higher wages, an in
crease of tx per cent to trainmen on
eastern roads being announced this
afternoon.
Call money renewed at 5 per cent
and then declined to Az as funds began
to flow back here from the interior.
After the close of the market the New
York federal reserve bank announced
that the rediscount of Az per cent
was unchanged.
Jewel Tea was pushed up to new
high at 473s on the declaration of back
dividends of 50 on the preferred. Bur-
roughs Adding Machine responded to
the directors proposal of 33 13 per
cent stock dividend by soaring 7h
points to 1872, also new top. Among
the dozen or so other new highs were
Corn Products Refining, Porto Rican
Tobacco, Iron Products, International
Harvester and u. S. Industrial Alcohol
New peak prices in the railroad Sec
ton were established by Frisco pre-
ferred, katy" preferred and Lehigh
Valley.
Renewed weakness of cotton, with
the December option falling to new
low level for the season, and another
rally of one to two cents bushel in
wheat prices were the contrasting fea
lures in the commodity markets. Raw
sugar was unchanged, but coffee prices
were heavy.
Time money and commercial paper
rates were unchanged.
Another sensational jump Of II
points in French francs which carried
them to nearly 1856 cents or within a
point of the years high, overshadowed
all other developments in the foreign
exchange markets. Demand sterling
held firm above ns4.S41k and most of
the continental rates were slightly
higher. Mexican and Chinese silver
currencies were heavy.

DEMPSEY SPIRIT
POISON VIC TIM,
SAY S NORNIILE

SAN DIEGO, Calf, Dec. H-De~
rial that Jack Dempsey was physi-
cally poisoned upon the occasion OF
his defeat by Gene Tunney in the
recent battle for the worlds heavy
weight championship was issued hero
today by Gene Normile, manager OF
the eX-ehampion. When questioned
concerning a statement from Balti-
more by Captain Charles j. Mabbutt,
friend of Dempsey, to the effect that
the champion was poisoned when he
appeared in the ring to defend his
title, Normile said
after the fight we announced that
there would be no alibi, now or tel
years from now. We mean it and
we offer none now, However, in
replying to the statement reported in
the press yesterday, | desire to state
that Dempsey was poisoned, but noe
physically--by nothing placed in his
food, milk or water. He was poi
soned by law suits, writs, lawyers
and attachments. He was compelled
to raise 100000 bail on Saturday
night to keep out of jail. He faced
injunction proceedings directed at
the staging of his fight.
These are the things which pol.
soned the hampion-nothing else. /
want to say now that he was not
poisoned. Every precaution against
this was taken. Captain Mabbutt and
myself brought his food supply, anc
the greatest care against any form
Of illness was exercised.
"The legal matters, however, caused.
the champion to lose seven or eight
pounds two days before the fight
and this in "a hours-mighty serious
for man attempting to keep in con-
6ition to defend worlds title. I
90 not offer an alibi, 1 merely am
explaining the situation in view OF
the poisoning statements that have
been published"

Closing quotations in wheat were
strong, q to "a net higher, with corn

Wheat prices finished at the days
top level, although the trend at the
start was downward owing to unex-
pee; ed weakness of the market at the
Liverpool market and because of re-
ports of fine weather in Argentina.
Word, however, that rain was looked

Chicago crops experts ere cutting about
9 9000,000 bushels from their estimates
of the amount of wheat likely to be
available for shipment from Argentina
led soon to a decided change in the at
,itude of traders here.
Talk of likelihood of less favorable
crop developments in Argentine as the
harvest progresses in central and
southern regions became current, and
acted as much more than offset for
slackness of export call for wheat from
North America. Gossip was also heard
that there would soon be liberal ship
ments of wheat out of Chicago mad that
stocks of wheat here promised to be-
come meager. Besides, domestic ar
rivals of wheat today at all points
were light.

FOOTBALL FANS PAY
$26,0O0,OO0 TO SEE.
SEASONS BIG GAMES.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2 H1.-FootbalIs
record breaking season, from at
tendance and financial viewpoints
has capped the climax of a year that
has witnessed unprecedented devel-
opment of public interest in all major
branches of sport.
Baseball had it's third successive
million dollar series, topping al!
others in actual figuers; boxing had
it's first $20O0000 event with 132,00G
fans paying close to that amount tc
witness the Dempsoy-'Nnney fight
at Philadelphia and football had its
first $1,0OO.0o0 spectacle as 11,00a
paid fancy prices to see the Army,
Navy gr.diron drama on Soldiers
field, Chicago.
Footballs paid attendance record
was shattered twice this fall. Until
the service classic came along tc
dwarf all previous marks, Ohio
State and Michigan, battling at CO.
lumbus with western conference title
hopes at stake, had attracted the
biggest throng, $4,000. This was near
ly 10000 in excess of the record
jam that Witnessed Red Oranges last
college game a year ago when Illi-
nois played Ohio State at Columbus.
On the Pacific coast, the largest
crowd of tho season, $4,000, saw STAN
$4,000 watched Cornell and Penn tie
while close to the same number wit
messed the Yale-Army and Yale-Har-
ward battles at New Haven.
Increased prices to many of the
classics accounted for the substantial.
jump in gate receipts. With $5
tops" for the first time, such games
as Cornell-Penn and Harvard Yale
drew around 100000 each. The
Army-Navy scale of $40 and SIS
boosted total receipts to approxi-
mately $S0O,000, but speculators'
brices, obtained for thousands Of
tickets to this game, Increased it's
total cost to the spectators of ST.
10000
The east still the main stronghold
cf the game, leads all other sections
by a big margin in both attendance
and receipts, as shown by country
wide estimates, which fix the ma
tional attendance at close to 10000
eco and financial returns at approxi-
mately $4,000, 900. The western con-
ference contributes good share of
this with nearly 100000 spectators
paying $2,5OO,OOO to see the "big
ten in action. But it took the home
attendance at only five eastern instle
tutions-Haryard, Yale, Pittsburgh
Pennsylvania and Columbia-to match
these figures.

and receipts is accounted for in the

Strategy in sports is judged solely
ty results. That is unfortunate. Fear
OF being picked to pieces by the
second -guessers makes for safety
first methods rather than tako-a :
chance.
In baseball, if manager sends in
a pinch-hitters and he delivers, the
move is ladded to the skies. If he
fpiis, particularly il he strikes out.
Il is argued the regurar player
could have done no worse,
In football if Il player picks up

broken fold for Il 5ouchdowE, it is
considered very smart. If he nap
pens to tumble and the opposition re
covers under the shadow of his goal,

FRIEDMAN,s COURAGE

In the Michigan Ohio State game
Captain Benny Friedman, of the Wol

tion somewhat similar to the onc
Murphy, of Penn, faced at Illinois.
It was the third period the scors
was 1910, the fourth down with
two yards to go and the bali insid
the 15-yard line.
Would Friedman try a plunge for
the needed two yards, would he at
tempt drop kick, at which he is
most proficient, or would he try d
pass over the goal line? Earlier in
the game ne had completed such a
play on the fourth down.
Trying another pass over the line
was a nervy play that took courage
He invited plenty of censure from.
the second -guessers. He took the
chance. M
A pass, Friedman to Hoffman, re
suited in a touchdown, to which
Friedman added the point after
touchdown. Michigan needed those
seven points to win by margin Of
DIE.
Friedman drew praise because he
had succeeded. If he had failed it would
have been different However, STRAIT
egy that is good in success should
be equally good even though it fails.
