STOCKS IRREGULAR
/. IN SMALL MARKET
List Closes Firm After Bears
Drop Attack in Final
Trading.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,
Associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK, July 31.-The bull
group, feeling that it had gone too far to
give up at this juncture, struggled to
regain control of the price movement In
today's stock market, and managed to
win back a substantial portion OF the
losses of the previous session.
Yesterdays severe setback proved
keen disappointment to speculative
quarters, but with reports that several
industrial plants which have been closed
for regular July shutdownS will resume
operations within the next fortnight,
many traders felt that, for the moment
at least, the seasonal trend OF business
was more favorable to the bull than the
bear cause.
No Heavy Selling.
Further fiurries of selling had to be
absorbed during the morning, but the
fact that yesterdays break caused no
heavy accumulation of selling orders at
the opening was interpreted as lnd1-
eating that stocks in the main are
lodged with interests not easily SIAM
peded. A f1rmer tone In the wneat
market also helped stocks. Shorts with
substantial paper profits were inclined
to cover.
The DAVIS news was not wholly pleas
ing. Studebaker'S second quarter state
ment showed net of only Al cents, COM
pared to $3.02 in the like period last
year. Although the dividend was re,
duced from SIS to 81 annually on April
80. it is obvious that further substan-
tial reduction must be made unless oil
rectors wish to dip further into sur
plus. Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh
passed it's 81 semi-annual payment due
at this time, the first class l railroad TO
take such action this year.
Call money remained fairly plentltul
despite the approach of the August l
settlements. During the next day or SO
payments for the new American Tele-.
phone stock, as well as interest and
dividend payment, will result in turn
over Of about $500, 100000. Despite re-
cent loss of more than $40,00O,0O0 In
gold, however, the money market fails
to show strain. Call loans renewed al
2 per cent and there were some outside
offerings at V.
Commission house sentiment was
diverse and non-committal. The fact
that the operators who have engineered
the rally from the June lows have failed
to attract a public following and that
they have failed to make notable prog
ress since July 1s inspired considerable
caution.

citation. in comparison with. Sl27 49,

Clearings in Washington in July were
also lower than in July, 1923, when they
amounted to Sll4,2g3, 6678 81, but were
above the figures OF 1927. when July
cancelled checks reached the sum of
sos, 900, 94919 Comparisons with 1927
and 1928 are important az 1929 was
considered an abnormal year when
clearingS smashed all previous years in
Washington as well as in most other
places.
Clearings for the first seven months
of the present year, now available, SHOW
that the local clearing house Cancelled
S785, $40, 847.81 in checks against $878,-
545, 619.05 in the first seven months OF
1929 and 1925, 200 ,993.82 in the cor
responding period in 1928. Back in
1927 clearings in Washington totalled
1928, 04G, $1,000, also being larger than
in the same seven months of 1880.
The figures kept by Charles E.
Bright, manager of the Clearing House
Association, show that business will
have to score most remarkable improve
ment during the remainder OF 1880 to
bring clearings to total approaching
that of year ago. AS July is usually
the quietest business month in the year,
except possibly February, local bankers
predict gradual improvement during
the remaining five months of 1880.
So far in 1880 bank clearings in
Washington have been lower each
month than they were in the same
month in 1929. This is true in almost
every other large city in the country.
For the first seven months of the year
the Washington Clearing House records
include the following comparisons, by
months, with the corresponding months

O'D0UL NOW CLOUTING
BALL LIKE CHAMPION

NEW YORK, July IL (CP.A).-
Frank O'Doul, batting champion of
the National League in 1929, has be-
gun the second Western series of this
season on the Philadelphia ground
with batting average of .4O8, and
the way he is seeking the old apple
makes it appear he is on his way to
retain his title.
O'Doul won the championship in
1929 with 1893. He always was a
good batter. He could hit we'll when
he tried to pitch and when he found
that pitching was less in his line and
being a batting champion was better,
his batting increased in proportion to
the many more chances that he had
to hit the ball.
II his punch had been added to the
New York team in 1929, there are
some who believe the Giants would
have won the championship.
1t was O'Doul's batting strength in
the outfield, combined with that of
Chick Klein, which made it seem as if
the PhillieS would be a contending
force in the National League race this
year.
ODoul did not start as we'll this
season as he wished and for a time
was worried about it. He is going all
right now.
Some of them called me an &C.
cidental champion last year." he said.
II just wish to prove in 1880 that
I am not"

GALLANT FOX is 2-5
SHOT IN RICH STAKE

ARLINGTON PARK, Chicago, july

$4,000 added Arlington classic-today
furnished an apparently easy short cut
to the champion 3-year-old. Gallant

greatest winning horse of all

Victory in todays quarter
race, worth approximately $40, 800 Ia
the winner, would bring the winnings
of the sensational son of Sir Galahad

mark and within striking distance of
the earnings record OF the great Zev.
And victory today, even with some of
the country'S best 3-year-olds opposing
the Fox, seemed assured
There were few who thought Gal
liant knight second to the Fox in the
Kentucky Derby, might head off this
champion in his try for sixth major
1890 stake.

ROD AND STREAM
by PERRY MILLER

A NGLERS in quest of large and
" small mouth bass will find all
n streams perfectly clear today
with the exception of the
Monocacy River. This river is muddy
and has been since the start of the bass
season. For the last several years the
anglers in fresh water streams have
been hampered by muddy water. Since
the opening of the bass season on July
this year anglers have had clear
water for their piscatorial outings. AS
a matter of fact, reports received today
say the water in the Shenandoah River
is too clear for good fishing.
A report from j. M. Phillips at
Riverton, Va, says the Shenandoah is
low and too clear, but that some small
mouth bass are being caught, the largest
four pounds. Anglers at
Riverton are requested to report all
catches, to j. M. Phillips at the White
Star Bathing Beach at that place.
A report from Goose Greek says that
one angler made a good catch in the
mouth OF the creek this week, landing
a string OF pan rock, about IS catfish
and one bass. The catfish caught in
the upper Potomac are the Mississippi,
or Government. catfish. They are
cross between a catfish and a trout,
having speckled bodies much like a
trout and put up a good fight; incl
dentally they are excellent table fish.
Around Washington several catches
OF pan rock and perch were reported.
Frank Linthicum and Frank Bell landed
some stable white perch off Hams
Point and another angler had remark
able catch, landing 81 pan rock and
perch at the same place or nearby.
From SolomonS Island and across the
bay on the Eastern Shore around SharpS
Island come the most encouraging re-
ports for anglers. A friend of Rod and
Stream, Carroll KlotZback, fishing at
Solomons Island last Sunday. writes:
We caught an outgoing tide off Cedar
Point bell buoy and the fish came so
fast II ceased to be sport In half an
hour we took large trout and %
hardheadS. And to top it all off, Just
before we left my younger brother
hooked a shark about % inches long. AS
we passed Cove Point we sighted a
school of large skates feeding on ale
wives. Some of these were not the
usual type oil skate encountered in the
pay Dut were OF the devilfish ray
tamlly SO common In Florida waters and
In the bananas. One, we estimated
TO be at least 10 feet from tip To tip"
our friend who made the trip down
the Potomac and around TO SoIomons in
his boat over the Fourth states that
'tlshing In the Potomac, regardless of
what you may hear, has been very
poor. He reports few flsh taken and
darn little fishing being done, but that
the sea nett are everywhere and that
swimming Is a mess, for one cannot
swim anywhere without being blistered
by nettleS.
Capt. Dan P. Ball of Neavitt writes:
Fishing in the Choptank River is es-
peclally good now. Several parties have
made record catches, and w. j. Had
daway OF Neavitt landed channel bass
Monday weighing 81 pounds. This big
fish was caught on light tackle and put

LEBOURVEAU LEADS
SKATERS OF A. A.
Ry the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 12.-With IS play
ers, headed by Bevo Lebourveau, bat
ting 300 or better, Toledo was setting
a blistering hitting pace in the twelfth
week Of the American Association
championship campaign.
LebourVeau topped the individual race
for the second consecutive week with a
mark of 1877. and the Mud Hens COL
lectively were rambling along at 1922
clip. Right back of Lebourveau was an
other Toledo player, Catcher Butch
Henline, who was batting for 1884.
Other leaders following Lebourveau
and Henline were: Connolly, Indianap-
oils, .377; Kuhel. Kansas City, 1865 i;
Simmons, Louisville, 1863; Mostil, To-
ledo. 1862; Barnhart, Indianapolis, 1853 !;
High, Minneapolis, 1853; Purdy, Column
bus, .357; G. Davis, ST. Paul, .354.
Two players, Nick Cullop of Mime
apolis and Jenkins of Milwaukee, were
in possession of two individual leader
ships each. Cullop had IS home runs
to put him far in front of the pack
and had scored II runs. jenkins total
base collection was 1876 and he had
batted in 70 runs. Herman Layne of
Louisville had 81 stolen bases, while
George Kuhel, Kansas City first base
man, had banged out IL triples to lead
that department; WarStler OF 1ndIanap-
oils continued to lead in two-base hits,
with &c, and Simmons of Louisville led
with 127 base hits.
Ten points back of Toledo in team
batting was Louisville, which liked It's
average points to jump from fourth
to second place during the week. St.
Paul was third with .308 Milwaukee
and Kansas City had $685. Minneapolis,
.301; indianapolis. 800, while Column
bus was the only team under 300, with
.295.
st. Paul bumped its team fielding
average one point to retain the lead
,ership at .966, while Louisville main
tanned its 1854 pace to stay in second
place. The Saints added 3 double
plays during the week to bring their
total to go for the season, with Toledo
and Milwaukee close behind with 88
each.
Ben lineup, the veteran Louisville
Indian, saved couple more ball games
for the league leaders and gained credit
for / victory to give him straight
for the season. Wilcey Moore of st.
Paul was the actual leader with II
victories and 4 defeats. Bud Jonnard
of Indianapolis held on to the lead
in Strikeouts, adding during the week
to make his total 10.

WIN SEVEN OF TEN
WESTERN BATTLES.
Reds Take Four in Row From
Cubs-YankeeS Lose Six
Out of Eight.
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, Jr.,


TNHE somewhat incomplete
intraSectional play of the
major league clubs, which
came to a close with yeSter-
days beginning of a new East
West movement, brought few
surprising results in its general
emphasis of the fact that good
ball club is successful no matter
where the games are played.
The unexpected downfall of the Chi
cago Cubs and the rise of the Detroit
Tigers were the only results which were
unforeseen. The Cubs lost whole four
game series at Cincinnati and wound
up near the bottom of the National
League list with two victories and five
defeats. The Tigers, smashing out a
f1nal victory yesterday, took four of five
from the Cleveland Indians after gain
ing 80 edge over Chicago for a total
of victories in 10 games.
Detroit showed lot of power in yes
terday's game, slamming out 18 hits for
an 11-to-1 triumph over the Indians
Waite Hoyt allowed only seven hits
while the Tigers made eight, and six of
their runs off Clint Brown in the first
two innings. This victory put the
Tigers ahead of the champion Philadel-
phia Athletics, who won six and lost
three in the intrasectional series, and
second only to the Washington Sena-
tors, who won seven out of eight from
Boston and New York. The Yankees
went through serious slump, winning
but two out of eight games.
The Chicago White Sox closed their
nip-and-tuck series with the st. Louis
Browns in the other American t$teague
game, gaining a 5-to-3 decision take
sixth place again by half -Ss mar
gin. Pat Caraway had only ~ had
inning, the Browns scoring all their
runs in the third. and gave the Sox an
even break in 10 intraSectional games.
The suddenly triumphant Cincinnati
Reds opened their tour of the Eastern
division of the National League yester-
day as Pittsburgh and st. Louis ended
the fraternal strife among the Western
clubs. The Reds hitting effectively be-
hind the pitching of Red Lucas, de-
-teated the PhillieS, to 3. Lucas had
the better of a duel with Earl Collard,
giving but eight hits, and contributed
the finishing touch to the victory in
the form of a home run in the ninth
inning.
The Pirates slammed three Cardinal
pitchers for 16 hits to win the series
final, to 2, and divide the Six-game
set, but despite the result, Pittsburgh
was below the 500 mark in the intra-
sectional play and the Cards were at
the top. st, Louis won six games and
lost three, equaling the record of the
New York Giants against the Phillies
and Brooklyn. The Robins came in
second, with five victories and three de-
feats and, due to Chicagos losses, took
firm hold on first place.

L. Maddox and S. A. and Carl E. Blouse
of York, Pa, fishing in the mouth of
the Choptank, inside of SharpS Island,
last week end landed 408 croakers and
trout.
Capt. Ball reports that fishing is
steadily improving over on the Eastern
Shore, and that trout and blues are
arriving in greater numbers.
Capt. w. j. Haddaway of Tilghmans,
who landed the big channel bass, sent
In report of the appearance of blue
fish in the vicinity of Sharps Island
The blues were caught trolling near
Sharps Island light house. The blues"
aS~they are commonly called, are much
sought after by fishermen and certainly
put up game fight.
And here's telegram from our old
friend, A. II. G.. Mears, at Wacha-
preague, Va. Mears evidently does not
like TO hear too much about fresh
water fishing. He says: LANDED to date
1877 channel bass. One party in one
week landed % channel bass weighing
from 80 to 81 pounds. Channel bass
now striking in great style. One party
OF three had eight strikes and landed
two, and another party had five strikes
and landed three. One man landed so
ktngf1Sh today. Trout, croakers and sea
bass being caught in limited numbers. /"
Capt. George M. Bowen of Solomons
Island, who keeps us posted on what's
doing III the fishing world at his place.
was most enthusiastic in his report
over the telephone and at the same
time was honest and frank. He said
there was northeastern blowing across
the bay yesterday, but he did not ex-
pect II 10 last and that conditions would
be right tomorrow.
He reports that Capt. Preston Wood
burn took out party from Washington
last Sunday and it caught 1856 hard
heads, trout and big Norfolk spot. The
total weight of this catch was I85
pounds. On last Tuesday his party
also landed l48 trout, hardheads and
spots.
Capt. Rodney Langley, fishing out in
the bay, got into a school of drum and
landed six, ranging in weight from 40
to 80 pounds. These fish finally broke
all his tackle.
Capt. Bernice p. Bowen landed nine
blues trolling off Cedar Point last eve
ming, the largest weighing three pounds.
Capt, Gilbert Jones continues to land
large number OF rockfish off Town
Point in the Patuxent River, opposite
Capt Elmer Ward this morning re-
turned with q catch of $50 hardheads,
trout and spots. Capt. Bowen reports
that the best fishing is out In the bay
at the present time. Only anglers
fishing for rock use the PatuXent River.
Despite the letter from our friend.
Carroll KlotZbach, who said fishing was
very poor in the lower Potomac. George
Knight our correspondent at Leon
ardtOwn, informs us that some excel
lent catches are being made down his
way.
Knight reports that Mr.. and Mrs
T. V. OConnor of Washington mfr.
O'Connor Is chairman of the Shipping
Board, fishing off Higgins Point, in the
mouth of Brittons Bay, last Sunday
moring landed 33 large spots, and that
