Getting through the Old Line cubs

lead at the quarter. The Freshmen
then adopted the man-for-man defense
and after reducing Central's lead to
1912 at the half, stepped out in the
second half to gain a comfortable lead.
Ronkin and Wilson were leading Mary

Mississippi and Ohio Rivers
Are Medium for Exten-

Special Dispatch tosThe Star.
NEW YORK, May 28.-Waterways of
the Nation, already responsible for ire
mendous developments of industry, COM
merce and trade, will give impetus to
tremendous developments in the Middle
West in the next two years. The g.
foot all-the-year-round stage Is the
watchword that is speeding final work
on the tremendous traffic developments
on the Ohio River today, which will
change trade channels for a huge sec
ton of this country.
The Ohio development, designed to
permit passage all year round Of vessels
with 9-foot draft, has already cost
over $12O, 1000, 900. and has returned a
large part of that sum in augmented
production and higher pay rolls for
territory extending from Pittsburgh to
the Rocky Mountains and from the
Twin Cities to the gulf. This program
on the. Ohio was begun nine years ago
and will be finished before 1929 passes
into history.
1t will open the markets of the entire
Middle and Far West to the products of
the South, of Central and South America
and of Cuba and Europe at reasonable
freight rates. It will permit the huge
industrial centers of Ohio, West Vir-
GINA, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois
and Kentucky to find sales in the
Orient, throughout the Southwest and
the great grain-growing States Of the
transmississippi region.
Even now huge cargoes of manufac-
tured goods are moving from the steel
sections of Pennsylvania, Ohio and I'LL
nois to the gulf and up the Mississippi
to Northern points Coal and lumber
are finding new outlets. In return cot
ton, sugar and coffee are coming back
upstream.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

special Dispatch TO Inc star.
NEW YORK, May 2s.-Many curb
stocks today recovered partially from
the effects Of recent weakness in late
covering for short account. Fresh de-
clines early in the session broke q
ground but liquidation diminished in
the afternoon and the tone improved
in nearly all groups.
Reactions in a number Of speculative
issues reflected the cleaning out OF I'M
pared margined accounts Among
those to register new lows were Tubize
Silk in the high-priced class, and De
Forest Radio g. Gable and Radio Tube
among the cheaper ones There was
renewal of active pressure in Aluminium
Corporation of America, which lost 8
points before midday. For time early
in the session utilities turned upward.
Electric Bond e. Share, American Light
& Traction. Southeastern Power and
Commonwealth Edison made the best
showing. but their resistance proved
less impressive when reactionary tend
encieS broke out again.
Covering in Bendix Aviation following
the declaration of an initial dividend
helped the entire group for brief spell,
but all lost their early gains as the
session progressed. Fokker broke more
than points before support developed,
and Bendix old was even weaker.
High-priced industrials which gave
further ground included Newmont
Mining, Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea
and Deere & Co. Investment Trust is
sues received better support than of late,
Goldman Sachs rebounding almost
points before it ran into fresh selling.
Transamerica continued to sag.
A feature of the trading was the vul-
nerability of low-priced iSues which
have had no real sponsorship even dur
ing this years advance. There was a
decline in Durant Motors to the lowest
price so far. and others which displayed
extreme unsettlement included Pacific
Western Oil, Intercontinent Petroleum
and Gold Seal Electric new.
Oil stocks, especially those which have
been most prominent this year, suffered
with the rest of the list. but not to so
violent a degree. Gulf Oil OF Pennsyl-
vania scored fair rally at the start,
but reacted when most of the others re-
traced their gains. Cities Service issues
held close to the previous closing
throughout.
