Judging from the past, the

the Reds and Dodgers. Both
Homosassa and Orlando are too
far away from Tampa to suit
President Griffith's ideas, though
the Reds usually manage to play
one game at Tampa each spring.
After six years Of training at
Augusta, Ca, home of Ty Cobb,
the Detroit Tigers are going to

from this shift that Cobb win no

TONE IS IMPROVED
IN BOND MARKET
Upward Trend More Pro-

Issues Stronger.
BY GEORGE t. HUGHES.

Special DlspAtcn 10 me star.
NEW YORK, July 2s.-The i'm.
provement which first appeared In
the bond market on yesterday be
came more pronounced today. 1t was
apparent that the recent reaction had
measured the change in the money
situation, brought about by the de-
mand for time funds, and that inves-
tors, both individual and institutional,
were satisfied that bonds had been
stabilized at current levels for the
present, at least.
In the United States Government
list demands for the Treasury issues
was little better than for the LIB
ertyS, but the latter held the gains Of
the day before. There was also lar
ger inquiry for such typical bonds as
Rock Island refunding As, above 80
again; Wabash 5Ibs, above 100, and
Kansas City Terminal As.
Among the high-yielding rails the
leaders were Chicago-Great Western
As; Missouri-Kansas-Te adjust
ments, which were quite strong after
a long period of quiet; Seaboard Air
Line adjustments and st. Louis-San

gained half point on what seemed to
be confident buying. Chesapeake and
Ohio convertible 5s, on which the con
version privilege expires September /
touched 140. The active utility con.
vertible bond again was Brooklyn
Union Gas 5hs.
Traction issues were generally
steady. Hudson and Manhattan obi
cations met a better demand. West
Virginia Coal and Coke IS continued
their recovery and at IS were three
points on the day. Trading in the
Warner Sugar bonds, which were so
weak on Tuesday, quieted down.
Foreign descriptions marked time.
There was special buying In Rhinelbe
Is, carrying the price above 105 on
fairly large transactions. The Bel
gian high coupon issues were strong
for a time.
