New York, March l5.-[P)-Mixcd
price movements reflecting the play

acterized today's stock market. Re-
dictionary price tendencies prcdomi-
mated during the morning, but by
early afternoon, the market was
headed up with a gain under the
leadership of a few high grade in
dustrials. U. S. Steel common sold
within a fraction OF it's record top
and the new "when issued stock
touched new peak price at 1l7ia.
Renewed weakness of the oil
shares followed the extension Of re-
cent crude oil and gasoline price
cuts. Losses, as Il rule, were held to
a point or SO, with Hudson showing
independent strength. American
wooden issues were again under pres
sure as "A result Of unfavorabie tex

Pools were again active in a num-
Der of spccialties in which favorable
developments are believed to be
pending, Loews Theatres and Eureka
Vacuum touching record high prices.
Lambert, Air Reduction and By-Pro-
ducts Coke also were in good demand.
Westinghouse Arbrake was liquidat-

The heavy turnover Of funds in
connection with federal government
financing and income tax payments
failed to disturb the money market.
Call funds were in plentiful supply
at four per cent, the ruling rate Of
the last few weeks. The increase OF
Sc, 100000 in brokers' loans last week
apparently had no stock market ef-
feet.

Best of All Games

Walter was diplomatic as he usually
is, when I asked him if he believed
the standard of play was better or
worse.
Baseball has progressed in certain
features of play and slipped in others, .
he replied.
"Base-running has decreased, as
have most other systems of one-run
play, since one run isn't much of a
working margin On the other hand,
the hit-and-run is more popular and
better executed and there are many
more home runs.
Drawn has to a certain extent sur
passed brains but there will always be
decided premium on the smart ball
player, regardless of what style of play
is most popular.
"I have regretted the passing of GER
tain features, yet after time have
become reconciled to the new styles
that are being constantly inaugurated
and still feel that baseball is the great
est of all games.
"It was a fine game when I made
my debut and it remains So"
I might add my bit in saying
that it is characters like Walter
Johnson, more than any one other
thing who have made baseball, the
national pastime, a great game.

SETTLEMENT OF

MEXICO CITY, Aug P-Thc
newspaper Excelsior says it has re-
ceived information it is possible there
may be in prospect an adjustment
of the religious controversy between
the Mexican government and the
Catholic church which resulted in
the new religious regulations a. year
ago. The paper also says it learns
it is possible the Catholic archbishops
and bishops, who were deported from
Mexico after the GuadaIaJara train
outrage several months ago, may bs
permitted to return to Mexico.
GThe outrage to which reference Is
made occurred in April near Linon
when outlaws attacked a passenger
train. They slaughtered the military
escort, set the train on fire. and
shot some Of the passengers as they
tried to escape. The Mexican author
tiles charged that members of the
Mexican episcopate inspired this at
tack, and number of archbishops
and bishops were deported)

Star For Twenty Years

Walter Johnson is one of the few
ball players, pitchers in particular, who
after 20 years of continuous service,
still remain in the outstanding star
class.
Breaking into the majors two years
prior to Johnson, have long been of
the belief that the pitching of today
was much inferior to that offered by
the oldtimerS. Naturally / expected
Johnson's opinion to bear out that
belief. It didn't.
''While we had lots more pitching
battles in the old days." remarked
Johnson. "I don't know that the
natural ability of the oldtimers was
any greater than the present day stars.
'There are many more handicaps
today for pitcher to overcome than
Is or 20 years ago. Lively baseballs
