| SHORT INTEREST,
PANIC STRICKEN,
BEAT RETREAT

NEW YORK, March 13 H9 - The
panic-stricken retreat of the trapped
short" interests on the New York
stock exchange today, coupled with a
fresh outourst of public speculation,
boosted the days sales to 1913, 400
shares, another new high record
Radio Corporation common was
again the sensational feature, opening
with block of $4,000 shares at $16O, a
new peak prices, and an overnight
gain Of $21.50 share, simultaneously
with the announcement that the stock
exchange had begun an official in
quiry into reports of an alleged
technical corner" in that issue. From
160 the stock plunged to 140 in the
short space Of Is minutes, whirled up
ward to 100 feet before another Is
minutes had passed and then bucked
and plunged like kite in wind 1t
finally closed at STAG a share.
Since Thursday, Radio has advanced
from $9850 to $l60 a share. So heavy
has been the volume of trading that
total transactions in the stock in the
last four days have well exceeded the
outstanding capitalization of 1,155, 400
shares. Wall street was specializing
tonight on the size of the fortune
made by Michael .Meehan, one of
the original bulls" on Radio and a.
specialist in that stock on the New
York stock exchange Ten years ago
Meehan was member of the New
York curb where his first months
earnings were only $18. Today his
firm has five memberships on the ex-
change, valued at $1,500,000 and Nee
han, who is only 36 years old, is re-
ported to have cleaned up several mil
lion more through his faith in Radio.
Identity of the professional traders
who have taken terrific beating on
the short side of Radio remains a
secret While Wall street occasionally
halls winner" in the stock market,
the names of losers are never revealed
unless through court proceedings Nee
hans individual winnings probably
have been exceeded by those OF the
gigantic pool headed by the Fisher and
Cutten interests which began accum-
ulating Radio stock below $40 share
last fall.
It is not known how much if any
of the pools paper profits have been
"cashed in" on the rise of the last
few days. There is an old saying in
the street that "trees do not grow to-
heaven" and it is naturally assumed
that the pool has disposed OF consid-
erable stock in the recent rallies.
The stock exchange, through its busi-
ness conduct committee, took cogniz-
ance of the alleged corner in. Radio
today by demanding daily reports of
the aggregate "long' and short ac-
counts of its. members and their Gus
toners, the amount, of stock borrowed
and from whom the, amount of stock
loaned and to whom.
The merciless punishment admins
tered to the shorts" in Radio and
General Motors during the past ten
days induced active covering of "bear"I
accounts in other stocks, forcing a i
number up So to $40 share. Con- T
servative investors. apparently were
by these wild gyrations, and
hastily took profits, unsettling the
general market.
Such recent favorites as U. S. Steel,
General Motors, Baldwin and Greene

BRAVES DROP
FOURTH GAME
TO ST. LOUIS
Pirates Add Further Defeats
to Giants List; Cubs
Outplay Robins

With each passing day the
triumphant song of the Red Birds
of st. Louisa symphony of base
hits-rings more plainly upon the
ears of National League pennant
contenders.
His pitching staff again in work.
ing order, Bill McKechnie, who once
managed the Pittsburgh Pirates to
the pcnnant and then to . worlds
championship, has the Cardinals
headed in the same general direc-
ton.
The Cincinnati Reds still were at
the top Of the heap today but their
advantage over st. Louis and
Shrlnk to half a game-three per-
centage points to be exact.
The Reds lost ground yesterday
when they were washed out by rain
at Philadelphia while the Cardinals
were making it four in a row over
the Boston Braves 3 to 2. Bottom
ley's triple and Hafey's following
home run in the ninth were the de-
cisive blows. It was st. Louis 18th
victory in Is games and the Braves
seventh reverse in their last night.
Corsairs Topple Giants
The New York Giants are finding
the western clubs just as tough to
beat at the Polo grounds as they
were west of the Alleghanies. Still
smarting under the sting of three
beatings from the Reds, McGraw's
men found the Pittsburgh Pirates
no more to their liking, the Corsairs
pulling out a 4 to 3 victory in IL
innings. Paul Waner's single in the
eighth tied the score and his sacri-
flee fly, after Sparky Adams had
tripled, accounted for the winning
run.
The Chicago Cubs drew up to
within six percentage points of the
birthplace Giants BY taking over
Brooklyn, z to 3. Jess Petty had a
shutout within his grasp until the
eighth when he was pounded off the
hill in the midst Of four run Cub
rally. Three more tallies came
across in the ninth with Jim Elliott
pitching.
The New York Yankees main
tanned their wide margin in what
has been called the American
League race, with a hard fought 4
to 8 triumph over the St. Louis
Browns. Tony Lazzeri's homer with
two on in the third proved to be
the blow that gave erb Pennock his
10th victory of the year.
Orwell Finishes Game
Three runs in the eighth inning
enabled the Philadelphia Athletics
to beat Cleveland, 8 to 8, and keep
pace with the Yankees although at
q discreet distance to the rear. In
a duel Of ineffectiveness Hudlin and
Bayne Of Cleveland won the decision
over Walberg, Rommel and Orwell

New York. June 14.-The Indian
is on the Olympic warpath again
after an interval Of 16 years.
Fait Chief Elkins, lebraskan
Of aborigine blood, seems slated to
pick up the conquering implements
in all-around athletic competition
where his redskin predecessor, Jim
Thorpe of Carlisle, left off in 1912.
Thorpe, perhaps the greatest all
around athlete ever developed, won
the Olympic pentathlon and decath
lon championships in the 1912
Olympics at Stockholm in record
breaking style, but these victories
do not stand on the books to the
Indians credit. They were sum-
marily wiped out and the great Sac
and Fox athlete stripped of his
medals when it was discovered he
had professionalism himself before
the Olympics by accepting few
dollars for professional baseball
play, an unfortunate offcnse against
tn, amateur code that Jim had COM
mitted in all innocence.
Elkins is out to regain some of
the lost Olympic glory of the red
skin as wei. as to add his name to
those of Thorpe, Longboat, Socka
lexis, Tewanima and other of track
and field fame. There is no pen
tathlon on this years Olympic pro-
gram. but Elkins. / the strength
of his development and perform
ances within the past yer, will be
the American favorite to win the
decathlon, stiff ten-event test.
With the possible exception Of
Harold Osborn, the Illinois school
master, Elkins bears the stamp of
the greatest all-around performer
produced in the tied States since
Thorpe was in his prime. Osborn,
Olympic decathlon winner four
years ago, will not defend his title
this year, however, preferring to
concentrate on the high jump, his
other specially.
Elkins won the national cham
pionship last year with 7574.42
points. In his most recent death
lon performance he surpassed Os-
born's worlds record of 77l0.775
points, made in the 1924 Olympics,
besides improving on his own ma
tional championship mark with a
total of 7S1c.97 points. The chief
registered this healthy total in a
two-day test at the New York A. G.
park all by himself. With the spur
Of competition he might have done
even better.
The only achievement on record
better than Elkins' high mark is
the total compiled two years ago by
the great Finlander, Paavo Yrjola
who may turn out to be the man
Elkins must beat to win the Olym.
pic crown. Yrjola scored 7831.Oa

STRONG OUTFIT
TO MEET CRAYS
Doughboys Show Scoring
Power in Ninth and Tenth
Frames of Robinson Tussle

Fort Lincoln's nine lines up
against the Bismarck Grays at the
city ball park at $3.50 tonight in a
game which should be interesting.
The soldiers should be able to throw
strong team against Churchill's
outfit, having 50 many athletes in
camp. Churchill plans to use his
same reorganized outfit which lost
to jamestown Sunday, two to one.
The soldier club showed it's i'm
provement by scoring five runs in
the ninth and tenth innings to win
from Robinson, six to five. Ham,
mer, smuggling rightfielder hit three
times in five chances. Jones and
Holcomb, covering the first two
bags, also hit well, while Cotter held
his opponents to nine hits.
The Grays should work better
tonight than in the past. The new
lineup didn't work as we'll as ex-
pected in the Jimmie affair, pos.
sibly because two of the men were
in the lineup for the first time this
season. Johnson, Turtle Lake short
stop who has been playing with
Drake, and Orwell, brother to the
famous Ossie, are the new men.
The Grays leave tomorrow for
Fargo where they will meet the
