SCHOOL ELEVENS
NOT UP TO SNUFF
Class in Early Games Shown
Only by Emerson and
Dewitt Players.

q CHOOLBOY foot ball teams of the
District group this season are be-
low standard. Early games do
not always furnish an accurate
indication Of teams strength, but
the defeats suffered by most of the Dis
trict elevens so far have been so de-
cisive that there seems little doubt that
they are weak.
Dewitt and Emerson doubtless are ex-
ceptions. The former showed class IN
its lone game so far in battling Catholic
University freshmen to 90 tie. Emer-
son has lost two of its three games, but
it was the victim of Woodbury. Forest
and Mercersburg Academy, both out
standingly strong prep school teams.
All the public high school elevens.
except Western, have shown their wares
and none has been impressive. Tech,
defending champion has two defeats
and a tie in three starts; Central, after
downing a green GonZaga team, was
walloped by John Marshall High In
Richmond Saturday: Eastern's unsea-
soned club has shown somewhat better
than expected, but has twice taken 1t
on the beak by decisive margins. while
Business has been soundly drubbed in
two starts. 1t must be said though.
that the public high teams are not
lodging any opponents and by the time
championship series starts, october II.
all may have learned a lot. 1t may be
that bang-up series will result since
there appears to be no outstanding
team.
Western will make its debut Friday
going over to Ballston to meet the
stellar Westinghouse High eleven.
The Ballston scholastics, coholders Of
the Virginia State scholastic Champion

prior to that bumped off Episcopal.
Western probably will find the going
rough. Coach Dan Ahern's squad Is

BY FRANCIS E. STAN.

THE Mohawks, who last year fin
ished runners-up to the cham
pion Apaches for the District
title, were far from impressive
in their opening game against the Lans-
downe eleven yesterday at the Griffith
Stadium.
In short, If the Hawks mean to lift
the crown from the heads of the Little
Indians, or even hurdle the NorthernS,
Knickerbockers and st. Mary's Celtics,
they'll have to show more than was dis
played yesterday.
1t was not so much that they were
beaten, to 0, that ranked in the minds
of supporters of the Southeast team.
The touchdown which spelled defeat was
the result of a lucky break-an inter-
cepted pass by Penny Johnson In the
shadow of his own goal and an I'M
molested dash of 90 yards. But the
Mohawks, as a team, lacked the typical
Mohawk fire and teamwork.
In the first half, the few hundred
fans were more content to wait for the
returns on the world series game, for
the play was decidedly ragged. The
two teams merely tugged and sWayed.
The Hawk backfield could make little
Roadway primarily because its own in
reference was in the way.
With the injection of Joe Sweeney
former Apache pepperpot, the HAWKS
perked up in the second half and
should have scored twice. Sweeney
grabbed a pass from Ed Abbey, but was
stopped within two yards of the goal.
The Mohawks' other real threat was
ruined by the intercepted pass.
WHAT hurt the Hawk cause as much
w as anything was the inability Of
the Mohawk backfield to remem-
Der what side they were supposed to
shift on. Frequently half of the back
field would step one way and the other
half the other way. They were penal
lied numerous times for holding up the
7-yard line and four downs to go.
The work of Phil Delaney, former
Northern tackle, was outstanding for
the Mohawks. Delaney, until he was
taken out late in the fourth quarter,
was all over the field breaking up Lans-
downe plunges.
THE st. Stephens eleven.a defending
i champs in the Capital City I'm
limited League, are going to have
a real battle on their hands If the title

This was indicated yesterday when the
Palace-D. G. S. gridders, entrants in
the same loop, downed st. Stephens
10 to 0, in a pre-league season game
before a crowd of 1000.
Dearborn, Palace fullback, will bear
watching. Early in the second quar-
ter he booted a neat field goal from
the 30-yard strip, and late in the
fourth period he grabbed a pass from
Gheens and raced 20 yards to touch
down and then converted the extra
point.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, october 6.-The

iron debut here, scoring a 37-to-0 tri-

~ number from Washington, saw the

The invaders scored practically at
Will, with Marvin, Myers, China Boyd,
Russell, Timmons and Birthright ac-
counting for touchdowns, the latter OBJ
tanning two before he was given a rest.
Ferrell took forward pass from "Huck'
Hllleary, Apache quarterback, for the
only extra point of the game.
Hilleary and Birthright tore off two
runs of 40 yards each for the offensive
highlights of the contest. Marvin Myers,
former Alexandria High star, con-
tributed off-tackle dash fer a score
that brought him hand from the

~ ESPITE chilly weather, the sand
lot base ballers ended their
season fittingly yesterday with
the Capital City League title
and several minor honors slowed away.
The Takoma Tigers, who had to over
come slump to win the Montgomery
County League pennant, and who were
not reckoned as faVorites in the play
of series, sank the Dixie Pigs, champs
of the Prince Georges County, and take
the major title of the season.
On the short end of a 5-to-0 score in
the fourth inning, the Tigers displayed
their class by counting IL times in the
fifth and sixth frames to win, IL to 6.
ITO Dick Hughes, veteran pitcher, may
l. be attributed the victory of the
Tigers in the play-off series. for it
was Hughes who twice turned in wins
over the Dixie Pigs, the favorites.
Hughes made a great comeback with
the Tigers. In the Terminal League,
five of Dixies played with Pullman, and
the latter club was plain poison to Dick.
Yesterday these five Pullman players
made only three hits between them OF
Hughes, and Stahl made two Of these.

DULLNESS seen
BY JOURNAL
REPORT

NEW YORK, July 16.--Impor-
tant wholesale hardware and
housefurnishings markets show
little change. The summer lull,
perhaps more traditional than
necessary, is apparent in practi-
caily all sections of the country.
Relatively, housefurnishings, par.
ticularly woodenWare items, ap-
pear more active than the other
varied lines carried by this class
Of iobhers, Hardware age will say
tomorrow in its weekly hardware
and housefurnishings market
summary. There Is, of course, a
fairly steady demand for elec-
trio fans and other strictly hot
weather merchandise.
Though sales for the current
year run behind volume Of 1929,
business for the first half of
July compares favorably with the
same period of last year. In max.
ing such comparisons it must be
remembered that wholesale prices
have declined from IL to Is per
cent. so Cnat even an equal ton
mage would show a decline in
dollars and cents.
There are practically no i'm
portant price changes being made.
Further reductions of any con-
sequence can hardly be expected.
Most wholesale distributors feel
that current prices are about as
low as possible and that any
drastic price movement would
have to be upward.
Many sections report an un-
usually active tourist trade, and
the majority of crop predictions
are favorable. The general feel
ing Is that any substantial i'm
provement can hardly be, ex.
pected until the fall.

The bull points affecting the
stock market, in so far as they
are valid, are now somewhat as
follows:
/. The bond market has
shown sustained strength since
the first of the month, and
bank investments in other than
Government securities continue
to increase. Bonds usually
lead stocks ut major turning
points.
2. The average yield Of indus
trial stocks is attractive. It is
about 5.6 per cent for represen-
tative group, and many now
pay over 6 per cent. This
more than pays carrying
charges. IL is at least / per
cent higher than the bond
yield.
3. Rail stocks have made an
appreciable recovery. Their
previous persistent weakness
was considered n highly un-
favorable symptom. Accord
ingly, their rally helps senti-
n1ent. Moreover, the rails, like
bonds, often lead the way up
from . bear market.
4. A second great wave Of
liquidation ended in June, and
holds out hope that the two
severe crashes have completed
all necessitOus selling. Ere
Quently bear markets are Of
the twO-crash order.
5. Brokers' loans are again
down to . fairly reasonable
level, close to the three billion
dollar mark, which / would
consider tenabIe. Incidentally,
such loans are now only about
5.S per cent of the total value
of listed securities, which is
the lowest i'm q long while.
6. The untitled orders Of the
Steel Corporation decreased
less than usual in June.
On the bear side, the following
points can fairly be made:
i. The collateral loans Of the
banks continue enormous, and
show that bank credit Is not rs
liquid as it should be. They
probably mean steady pressure
to sell stocks in . good many
cases.
2. Business recession con.
tinues. The bottom is mot
definitely In sight. Even build.
ing activity receded more than
usual in June. Automobile pro-
ductiOn Is in . distinct slump.
The steel industry Is depressed.
Department store sales have
fallen sharply.
