since the dollar has slipped on the
Bourse three or four centimes during
the convention week of the American

financial observers to the influx of
American cash and the consequent I'M

banks never have had so much United
States currency. not excepting the Pc
riod of the World War, during which
the American soldiers were paid in
francs.
The Legionnaires brought over their
spending money largely in rolls of
bills without taking the trouble to pur
chase letters of credit. One bank
alone has accumulated $4,000 IF
American money in one and two dollar
bills. 1t is impossible to estimate

 The contest is expected to be a thriller as both teams are evenly matched. The Recreations are anx- ious to even up the standing in the won and lost column. Lanning. ex- Wesleyan star. will pitch for the Recreations while "Micky" Noonan, one of the best baseball players in this city. will be on the receiving end.
 This battery was considered one of the best in the Middlesex County league last season and it was due in a great measure to the great work of the pair that the team finished in second place in the standing. Noonan's appearance with the Middietown team will draw many fans to that city.
 The Recreations also have a mum. Der of the stars of last years Coun- ty league in their lineup. Krauth at first base. Rednald at second.

HARVARD VICTOR

Crimson Captain Hits Ssnsadon-
 d Homer in Last Of Ninth

Cambridge. Mass, June 23.-R- Ten thousand men of Harvard, un- dergraduates. seniors who won their degrees today. and a host of alumni here for reunions were still talking today Of 1sadore lazy zarakov and his sensational home run in tho last half of the ninth inning of the Yale game yesterday that gave the Crimson . 6 to 5 victory in the de- cidins game of tho series.
 Zarakov's circuit clout, one of the longest ever seen on historic Old Soldiers field, wound up the Har- ward captain and third baseman's collegiate athletic career in blaze of glory and threw the crowd into . turmoil of excitement that belied the reputed Harvard indifference"
 As he touched home. the hero of the game was snatched up onto the shoulders of the thronE as Harvard supporters went delirious with joy. The game had been . see-saw until the last moment. One of the Grim sons six errors had paved the way for the first Yale run in the open ing inning, and from then on neither team held the lead long.
 The Blue invaders trailed 1 to 3 at the opening of the ninth, but Roy Booth. Harvard pitcher, suddenly weakened and Yale took the lead 1 to 1 before Cutts relieved him and ended the rally.
 Zarakov's great hit came with one ono man on and two out. The out fielders were still relaying the ball when he raced across the plate with the winning run.
 The retiring baseball captain whose home is in Roxbury is also letter man in two other major sports, football and hockey. He played right wing in the hockey team that beat the Ellis last winter.
