pecial Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 20-Sharp
upward movements in industrial spe-
cialtieS made up the outstanding Incl
dents IN today's curb. In number
of instances the market for certain
stocks appeared to have reached the
point where it was practically bare of
offerings at current price levels.
One of the noteworthy features was
the further rise of 80 points in Croker
Wheeler to a new high record of $50.
At this figure it had scored gain
during the past two days of So points.
Some traders were inclined to place
credence in the possibility of this COM
pany figuring in the much talked con-
solidation involving Westinghouse and
Baldwin Locomotive, although there was
no Official continuation.

Cambridge Defeats Oxford Crew
by Margin of Ten Boat Lengths
Well Trained Cantab Eight Displays Vicious Drive in
Race Against Traditional Rival.

The race was roWed in 20 minutes
and IS seconds as against the record
Of 10 minutes and 30 seconds, estab-
lished by oxford in 1911.
Never was Cambridge challenged.
At the finish they seemed strong
and did not appear distressed. In
contrast the oxford crew was ia
tiuged. Several of them hung over
their oars when the boat finally put
by the finish mark at. Mort Lake.
Their last mile or two had eX-
hauSted them and at the finish they
we're rowing raggedly and with no
semblance of the splendid unison
they had shown at the start.
1t was the thirty-ninth race Cam
bridge had won since the event was
started ninety-nine years ago. Ok
ford has won forty and one race
ended in a dead heat
Cambridge took a quarter length
lead and as the two crews glided
down the Thames past DukeShead,
beverly Brook, the F'ulham football
ground and Waldens, the advantage
remained abou 1.-THE same. Each
was stroking at thirty-two per
minute.
At the end Of the first mile Cam
bridge was leading by a half length
and increased this to one and a
quarter lengths at Harrods. Cam
bridge by this time had increased its
stroke to thirty-three per minute
and the Oxford oarsmen were I'M
able to meet the challenge and kept
up their thirty-two strokes per
pace. Cambridge drew
rapidly ahead.
At Hammersmith bridge the Can
tab boat was a length and a half
ahead and by the time the two had
reached west lodge was two and
half lengths ahead. Cambridge was
at thirty-siX.
With this safe lead Cambridge de-
it's stroke to thirty-two,
while OXford-it's crew weakening
under the great drive of Cambridge
had dropped to twenty-nine.
The Cantab boat had advanced to
a five lengths lead at Bullshead and
increased this steadily, with spurts
interspersed occasionally, until at the
finish it shot across the mark full
ten lengths ahead of oxford.

Lon1ski Wins
Easily From
Joe Sekyra
Aberdeen Assassin Pounds
Way to Decision Over
Dayton Pug.
BY FRANK GETTY,


NEW YORK. March 31.-The
championship aspirations OF Joe
Sekyra of Dayton, whether in the
heavyweight or 175-pound division,
have bee ndisposed of for the time
being by his decisive defeat at the
hands of Leo Lomski of Aberdeen,
Wash.
Sekyra was an easy prey for
Lomski's right hand body blows,
which won Friday nights fight in
Madison Square Garden. Leo now
will be matched with Mickey Walk
er, middlewelght champion, for an
open air bout in Newark, N. j. The
so-called Aberdeen assassin won as
he pleased Friday night, because
the Ohio boxer left his body wide
open for right hand punches at
close quarters and left the ring with
his BODY an angry red from the CT
feet of Lomski's short, but vicious
Wallops.
The fight which had promised so
much by way of being q natural
left much 90 be desired, since
Sekyra, contrary to his custom, was
on the defensive throughout most Of
the ten rounds and Lomski con-
tented himself with a strenuous and
furnishing body attack.
Tommy Loughran. who was intro
duced from the ring. has little to
fear from the winner. Lomski
fought a laundering stubborn, one
handed fight against AN opponent
who turned out TO be made to order
for him,
Whoever taught Sekyra to box
had forgotten oteach him to pro-
tect his left side, and it was upon
this unprotected sector that Lom-
ski beat devastating drum-fire of
victory.
At times Sekyra showed flashes OF
the two-handed offensive which had
won him the admiration of Eastern
fight fans, but these we're only
flashes in the pan, and always Lom-
ski slowed the Ohio boy up with a
severe attack on the body.

NEW YORK, March 81
IN One of the best left
handed pitchers to stray across
the paths of John McGraw in
recent years is Billy Walker,
the $4,000 beauty from Denver.
Walker may make the grade
as a regular hurler for the
Giants this season, but it he
doesn't he will in a year or
two.
Travis Jackson, Giants cap
tain and shortstop, is one of
walkers most enthusiastic
boosters.
"That kid will make a great
pitcher one of these days." he
says. "He has a real fast ball,
a good curve, and is working on
a slow ball now. He'll win
plenty games before he gets
through as a pitcher or I'm all
