he has shown distinct gambling
traits, both on the field and in
conferences with President Grit

Flaming youth has nothing on

Stan Coveleskie, according to-
iris Speaker, had one good year IN

American League pitchers last sea

feared that the veteran might not

Stan was fading. He faded right

he went down fighting.

About the Sphas

VIZ RITING from the Hotel
w Hamilton. T Fred Y. Brad
pleasantly corrects this writer re-
garding the Sphas, a Philadelphia
basketball team mentioned as q
possible entrant for the American
basketball League. Friend Brad
shaw says that Trenton and Read
ing were ahead of the Sphas
when the Eastern League dis
banded. He says that Trenton is
stronger team by far.
Trenton has defeated Washing
ton, Brooklyn, Celtics, Chicago
and Cleveland in the order named
since January l." writes Brad
shaw. "Any of these clubs could
easily defeat the Sphas, the Celtics
and Cleveland having done SO this
year.
"The Sphas could no doubt Sc
cure a strong team to represent
Philadelphia and they have signed
Barlow, of Trenton, and ARM
priester, of Reading, during the
past few weeks"
Thanks, Friend Bradshaw, for
the dope, written pleasantly and
without acrimony.

BY GEORGE It. HUGHES
] Dispatch TO The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 29.-Prices OF
bonds weakened today in sympathy
with the violent break in stocks and
there were Indications for the first
time since the reaction in stocks
began of the selling of bonds to
strengthen weaked positions in the
other market.
Offers, however. were readily taken
and IN the high-grade investment
issues reactions were very slight. In
fact, Liberty bonds were practically
undisturbed. 1t was the second
grade and speculative issues which
yielded the most, Foreign issues. the
speculative rails and the fractions
were all very heavy.
In foreign bonds French obligations
continued to sag and French f42s,
made a new 1926 low. Paris, Lyons and
Mediterranean Is and the lower cou-
pom rate Belgian bonds were weak.
The high coupon rate Belgian issues
held up better because of the re-
demption provisions. Finland 7t2s
at 20, equaled the previous low for
the year. In the South American
group, Montevideo Is were down a
half point.
Evidences Of Improvement in the
German economic situation were not
reflected in prices for German bonds.
All the speculative favorites in the
railroad list reacted.
Chesapeake and Ohio convertible
5s sold down sharply with the stocl;
and in less degree so did Delaware
and HAdson convertible SIS. Missouri
Kansas Texas adjustments. Chicago
and Eastern Illinois 5s. st. Louis
San Francisco income 6s and Chicago
and Alton 31as all had fractional
losses. There was unusual activity
in Peoria and Eastern As. down more
than half ap oint. Erie As, Cen
eral and Missouri general As were
better supported.
In the fractions. Chicago Railways
5s rallied from the extreme low OF
Saturday. but Chicago City and Con-
Meeting 5s sold below anything pre-
viously recorded this year. Loca
traction bonds were all heavy.
Losses in copper and sugar issues
were very slight nor was there much
change in the oils.
