Just Why the st. Louis fans are

the city with its first National
League pennant Is revealed by the

month in third place four games be-

finishing it one game to the good

game ahead of Cincinnati.
The Cardinals gave no indication
at the start of the month thai they
were about to surge to the front,
dropping two games to the Giants.
Then, however, they moved over to
Brooklyn, and the Robins oDI;ged
by finishing on the short end of
the score six games in row.

Holiday lines, taken as a whole,
seem to have moved at about the same
pace as a year ago, but retail buying
was irregularly distributed, with some
centers reporting the best trade ever
done, while others expressed disap-
pointment at the volume of business
price of cotton, which slowed trade in
the southwest; reduced automobile pro-
duction schedules, with consequent un-
employment; numerous bank failures
in the middle west, and curtailed lum-
Der mill operations on the north Pa
cific coast Sales of jewelry, cigars
and confectionery were about equal
to year ago, and hardware and radio
moved well. Staple lines were rather
quiet, except where, as in the north

able goods.

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO Dec. (P)-Large deliv-
cries of wheat here today, week
ahead of the time limit for filling De-
cember contracts, tended to make wheat
prices average lower. The wheat mar
ket as a whole finished irregular at %
cent net decline to Il cent net advance,
corn unchanged to u cent off, oats as
cent down to * cent up, and pro-
visions showing rise of 25 to 35 cents.
Wheat traders, appeared to be con-
centrating more on Christmas prepara-
tions than on pit developments, but
nevertheless took due notice that De-
cember deliveries here today, 35S,000
bushels, were a handicap to the buy
ing, side of the market. Another bear
ish factor was an estimate from Brit
ish trade authority that the Argentine
exportable surplus of wheat this sea-
son would be 166,0O0,0OO bushels, a
total of 100000 bushels in excess of
his latest previous forecast, and 50,-
100000 bushels more than the surplus
last year.
Talk was current, however, that ow-.
ing to shortage of European wheat, rye
and potato crops this season as COM
pared with last year, European wheat
demand might well be expected to
prove larger. Helped by such reasons
and by evening up of accounts so as
to be prepared for the holidays, wheat
values showed more or less rallying
power as dealings neared the finish.
Word that Argentine wheat is IS cents
bushel below wheat from the United
States and that large amounts of new
wheat are moving out of Australia to
Europe, had no apparent lasting eff
feet on values.
Colder weather, expected to bring
about larger arrivals of corH here,
gave a downward slant to the corn
market and to oats as well.
Provisions were responsive to the
government report on pig crop and to
an upturn in hog values.

BEARS SUFFER

MARKET SALES
(By The Associated Press)
-nck market auera o.as.

NEW YORK, Dec "a. - up - Wall
street witnessed an old fashioned
"Christmas m r k t" today which
brought cheer to most everyone but
"bear traders" While trading was not
as brisk as it was earlier in the week
, the season contraction in volume was
less marked than usual. Closing quo
tations disclosed long list of net
gains ranging from one to five points
with many of the high priced indus
trials issues setting new high records
The market paid little attention to
outside news developments, although a
reduction in the call money rate
brought encouragement to spectators
for the advance, who expected the
high rate to be maintained until after
the turn of the year. The weekly
clearing house statement, which was
issued after the close of the market in
stead Of Saturday noon, the usual re-
lease date showed a sharp increase in
reserve, indicating that holiday de-
mands for funds had not caused any
strain on the credit situation.
The weekly mercantile reviews re-
ported little change in the general
business situation with none expected
until after the first of the year. Re-
tail trade generally was believed to
during the week, although local condi-
tions caused some curtailment in the
purchasing power Of the southwest,
northwest and some of the automobile
centers The last of the so-called
christmas dividends" was a rs cent
extra on Corn Products Refining COM
mon, but there are several special divi-
dend payments in prospect by other
large railroad and industrial corpora
tions during the next month or two.
The rise in many issues apparently is
based on executions of these distribu-
tions
u. s. Steel common and General Mo-
tors resumed their places as market
leaders, the former showing an ex-
treme gain of nearly two points by
approaching to within point of the
record high, while the latter moved up
four points to 1888, closing within a
small fraction of the top. Baldwin

IL contend that the time called

simply a rest and relaxation period,
rather an extension of the minute

while it perhaps would not be
well to have continuous play, because
of team coaching and emergency
lessons in tactics that could be

Important Issue

Is there any logical reason why
the continuity of football game
should be broken by the rest between
the two halves?
Mr.. F. L. Manning, secretary of
the Connecticut board of football
officials, raises the question. Just
prior to the death Of Walter Camp,
he had taken the matter up with
him for a decision.
According to Mr. Manning, no
logical reason could be offered by
so great an authority as Waller
Camp. He intended bringing the
question before the rules committee
but his sudden death prevented it.
Once more Mr. Manning comes to
bat asking for some one to en-
Tighten him as to why the end of
playing time at the close of the
second period should directly sever
the continuity of the game.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-12-25
Change in Rule

Here is the rule that is offered
as an addition to rule four, section
four, to cover Mr.. Manning's sug
gestion:
Time shall not be called for the
end of the second period, provided
the team in possession of the ball is
on or inside their opponents 1O-yard
line. The trial for touchdown or goal
from the field shall be permitted,
until said team has made a score
or lost the ball to the opponents.
when time shall be called ending
the second period
There appears to be plenty of logic
in Mr.. Mannign's contention. What
do you say, football fans? Let me
hear from you.

Present Rule Unfair

Under the present rules, as Mr.
Manning secs it, football is really
two distinct games, rather than one
of four periods.
The fact is stressed that very often
during the second period one OF
the teams makes a march of from
so to so yards down the field and
when within perhaps five yards OF
the goal, or less hears the shrill
whistle notifying the teams time
is up.
The finish Of the second period
marks the end of play, for all that
has gone before in the way of ad-
vancing the ball down the field goes
for naught although the game is
relaly only half over
When the teams return to the
field, instead of play being resumed
on the five-yard line, where the ball
had been carried by an intensive
offensive, practically new game is
started.

WEEKLY FINANCIAL

/ NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-R-Christ-
mas week in the securities markets
disclosed the usual pre-holiday irregu-
larities in price movements, but with
bullish tendencies predominant.
Trading in stocks was in fairly heavy
volume with several of the high grade
railroad and Industrial shares selling
at new high records for all time. Bond
prices held steady with new offerings
of approximately $6O,OO0,OO0, including
several foreign issues, well received.
,Stiffening of call money rates was
regerdad as seasonal development,
the rate on call loans easing from 6
to ~ per cent today. The federal re-
serve and clearing house statements
indicated no strain on the credit situ-
alton.
In the foreign exchange market, the
chief development was the stabilization
of the French franc at the four cent
level. Sterling exchange was firmer,
with demand bills ranging around
I$4S4%
The principal commodity markets
disclosed slight gains on the week. A
bullish governmen tcrop report helped
the wheat market, while the cotton
market was influenced by the belief
that the years surplus of the commod-
ity would not be as large as was indi-
Gated by the government crop reports
NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-(R-Demand

week with the usual seasonal condi-
tions prevailing. Prices were steady
and generally unchanged. Apparently

the usual small lot trade was being
curtailed as the holiday season devel-
oped. ~
Copper has remained quiet and there
has been further price shading with
sales of small lots at 1917 cents for
electrolytic delivered. Buyers appear
to have been impressed by the bearish
view of the statistical position and
have been holding off, Producers, on
the other hand, show little disposition
to press for sales, and in some cases
are still holding nominally for 1879 in
anticipation of an improved demand
after the turn of the year.
Tin remained very quiet and there
appeared to be a lack of important
consuming interest. Prices were easy
as result of the lower schedule in
London.
Lead was in moderate demand and
steady. Producers were understood to-
viey the outlook as attractive and were
reported to be accumulating moderate
supplies rather than attempting TO-
press the market for business. Zinc
was again steady, although the trade
interest generally was moderate.
Anthony was steadier, with dealers
bidding freely for January arrival.
