IN @ Al lD3 IS A
ARGUMENT IS NOT
 FINALLY SETTLED
College Association and X. X. U.
 Almost Bury Hatchet

New York, April r Pl-There are still few discords in the new found harmony between the Ma tional Collegiate Athletic associa- tlon and the Amateur Athletic union.
 These organizations, long enthu- siastic enemies, have gone a long way toward burying the hatchet but John L. Griffith, commissioner of the Western Conference and a lead CT in N. C. 4. A. circles, still is not satisfied.
 Long an outspoken critics of A. A. |. policies. Griffith believes that lasting peace is an impossibility un- til there is a change in the makeup of the American Olympic associa- ton.
 While reiterating his ancient charge that the Olympic association is controlled by the A. A. U.," Grif- filth disavowed any intention of adopting a belligerent attitude to- ward the union, especially when definite steps toward peace have just been taken.
 Griffith's contention is that since college men form the bulk of Amer ican Olympic teams. college officials should be the predominating factor in the Olympic association.
 Daniel J. Ferris. secretary-treas- urer of the A. A. L.. enters the con- troversy at this point with the ob- servation that if A. A. |. officials hold most of the important posi- tions on the Olympic committee it is not because the A. A. |. holds the edge in voting power but because the majority of the associatior mem bers believe the A. A. |. officials are the best men for the jobs. Through it's district associations, the A. A. |. controls 2S votes in the Olympic association while the total college vote is B, Ferris said in sup port of his argument that the A. A. r. could not steam roller its candi- dates into the principal positions on the Olympic committee.

There are some basketball teams that have won cham pionships, al- though they have not appeared to measure up to championship caliber but this is not the case with the Bristol Endees, winners of the Con- necticut state professional champion ship for the season just ended.
 A glance over the record of the team indicates that whatever laurels were given it by the fans, were justly deserved. The team met all sorts of opposition during the season, boWled over some of the strongest combinations in the field and came through against the Meriden Endees and the New Britain quintets, out standing challengers for the state tltle. 10 win the championship.
 The combination played a total of 3l games during the year. Of these 12 were played on the road while IS were played at home. CurioEsly, 1t was Meriden and New Britain which inflicted the three defeats on the team on it's home floor, Merl6en turning the trick one and New Brit ain twice. Bristol won IS games at home and suffered only the above three defeats. On the road, always strong when the going was tough est, the team won nine and again ;ost three.
 Of the total of 9 games played. Bristol won 25 of them and lost only six This is a remarkable record fol any basketball team playing in the same class as did Bristol and it proves beyond question that the

Slipping on Turf is the Reason Given for Reign Couat's Poor Showing in England

Chicago. April IT P-Reigh Count. 1928 Kentucky derby winner, W ho is having a difficult time get ting anywhere with the field on the English turf, needs new shoes.
 John D. Hertz. husband of the owner of the great colt. has cabled Chicago friends that the metal shoes the horse wore in his two recent races caused him to slip, throwing him off his stride and making it easy for his English rivals to scam per ahead of him.
 Tn his first start, We realized something was wrong" Hertz said. but we could not account for it when he fell back after racing prom inently in the early stages. In the race Saturday, We noticed every time he landed in the turf he slipped back few inches. Reign Count is in great condition and we have our eyes on the Ascot cup"

trated in the chart which shows pig iron
production and prices since 1924. Pig
iron figures, except during the war
period, are considered indicative of gen.
eral business conditions. When prices
changed sharply. business activity varied
widely; when prices were stable, busi-
ness progressed steadily, with only small
fluctuations above and below line OF
normal growth.
Stimulus of Rising Prices.
In estimating business for 1929, it is
necessary to consider the trend OF COM
modify prices Already activity has
reached such levels that recent ex-
perience would say production is ample
to meet current needs 1t is the opinion
of many leaders, therefore, that buSi-
ness will continue active for few
months longer because of the mo-
mentum gained by recent increases in
production. Unless commodity prices
begin to rise sharply. however, produc-
ton cannot be expected to expand In
definitely at its present pace.
"SeIective" Markets.
The stability of the general price
level has thrown greater emphasis on
the prices changes of individual COM
modities. These movements have been
quite diverse and are an important in
f1uence in making the present STOCK
market 'selective" one. Undoubtedly
they will continue to cause wide diff
ferences in the fortunes of stocks in
various industries in the future. At the
present time, for, instance, rising cop
per and non-ferrous metal prices are
causing great prosperity for companies
in these industries, while the low sugar
prices are causing depression In the
sugars.
Rising prices do not always mean
prosperity and falling prices the OPP
posite, however. AS can be seen in the
case of the prosperous food products
groups today, falling prices of agricul-
tural products have permitted lower
production costs for trade-marked arti'
Giles, which often are sold at fixee
prices and for which the demand in
creases steadily. Commodity prices at
feet each industry and each compan!
within an industry differently, and the.
are of tremendous Importance in deter
mining the trend of most securities.
