Much has been heard and
written about Electric Bond and
Shares activity in the recent adj
vance of its affiliated companies.
The newest report is somewhat of
a jolt and says that Bond and
Share Is not in sympathy with the
move in Electric Power and Light.
I hear that the parent company
will concentrate future realign-
ments in American Gas and Elec-
trio. American Power and Light
and National Power and Light,
and that there is nothing in the
offing for Electric Power but
financing in connection with its
recent natural gas deals. There is
said to have been good selling IN
Electric Power yesterday. The
safest course is to let these stocks
alone for time time being.

Steel News

The United States Steel Cor
poration finance committees pre-
dictiop Of a gain in steel opera
tioas this quarter and an up-turn
in the final three months of
this year was generally regarded
as a bullish bit Of news. I be.
ieve this viewpoint is exag-
gerated. Few doubt that steel
operations will show a gain this
summer. but it always has been
so seasonally. The fourth quar-
ter is a long way off. From an
earning standpoint. steel will have
to step UP current operations
quite bit to make the $40 q
share predicted for the year.
The Iron Age report contained
nothing more constructive than
optimism. Rails are doing more
buying and structural steel book
ings are pretty good. Much
hinges on resumption Of activity
in the automobile industry and
the way the new models go over.
The outlook is fair.
Well-informed quarters consider
RaybeStoS Manhattan a good long
term speculation, but don't hurry
to buy it. There was some
inside buying in the June break
but no real organized support.
Current operations are near
capacity but price-cutting has
sent the profit margin way down.
The company has an enviable
position in its field and there is
talk Of interesting developments
later on.
Loans
The Street has been giving
only q few odd moments here
and there to guess about the
weekly brokers loan report, due
after the close of the market
today. Last weeks drop was too
complete q surprise. and besides
few care much either way with
loans as low as they are. The
total should be about the same,
for yesterdays break in the
market won't show until next
week. I understand that one or
two pools were able to unload
quite a bit Of stock. Trading,
however, has been almost entirely
professional.
Those bullish on Ludlum Steel
predict q bonanza in its new
stainless steel some day. They
see q steadily widening market
for this product and point out
the foot-hold stainless: steel has
obtained In many industries, par
ticularly aviation, automobiles and
building. For the time being,
however, the rub is that Ludlum
isn't making much money and
will probably have some trouble
covering its 50 dividend this
year. Furthermore, it is still
mainly dependent of the auto
industry.

HOT BOUTS PROMISED
At SHOW TOMORROW

with their training preparations over,
the boxers who are to show on the
fistIc card tomorrow night at Fort
Washington, Md, are today resting up
Tor their bouts, which will be held in
an open-air arena that can seat over
1000 persons.
The card, as a whole, is attractive,
and many Washington fans have al
ready announced they will make the
trip to the Army post. Even contests
are the prospect in every case.
Doping winner between Joe Small
wood, Washington welterweight. and
Joe Finazzo of Baltimore, offers a
puzzle.
Joe Trambera Baltimore feather
weight, will also give Frankie De
Angelo a merry battle. Sammy Hogan
and Lou GuglielmirL. who mix it in a
six-rounder, are expected to wage a
furious bout. They're the kind that
don't back up.
Billy Edwards, a colored middle
weight is down for a special Six-round
meeting with Joe Barnum of Philadel-
phia. w. L. Tucker and Johnny Burke,
pair of local heavyweights, trade
blows in the opening tussle, which Is
billed for four rounds.
Officials of the Front Line Post, Vet
erarS of Foreign Wars, state that the
boat to Fort Washington can carry only
600. Should there be more than 600
fans at the Washington Barracks wharf
when the boat leaves, at O'Clock to-
morrow night, the excess will be trans
ported to the Army post by BUSES,
though ST. fare will be charged. The
boat trip is free

Plan Amateur Hockey
As AU-Year Pustin1e

Owners of the Coliseum in New
York are installing a hockey rink
and experimenting with new ice
that will make it possible to play
the game the year round at small
expense.
If the experiments work out nicely
it is the plan to promote amateur
hockey leagues throughout the year.
No professional hockey has been con-
Sidered.
Summer hockey was tried out in
the big Municipal Auditorium at At
lantic City recently and was voted
a success.
Once the new ice experiments work
out it is the plan of the New York
promoters to establish smaller Kinks
throughout the metropolitan district
An amateur hockey league is in
formation now with Atlantic City,
the Penn A. c. of Philadelphia and
the Crescents, ST. Nicks and New
York A. c. of the metropolitan
district

BY ORLO ROBERTSON,

ARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y,
August 16.-In the most SEN
~ sational upset the turf has
witnessed since the days of
Man O. War, EarPs Jim Dandy,
a 100-to-1 shot, galloped through
the mud today to administer a
sound beating to the twin con-
tenders for 3-year-old champion
ship honorS, the previously unde-
feated Gallant Fox, winner of six
consecutive races, and the almost
equally famous Whichone.
While crowd Of 10000 spectators
including Gov. Roosevelt, stood stun
ned by the astonishing spectacle, the
California owned 3.year-old. smartly
ridden by Jockey F. Baker, whipped the
Fox and Earle Sande by six good
lengths and Whichone and Sonny
Workman by IL lengths in the Travers
Stake. -- -..
Racing condition, the weather. may
have had something to do with 1t, but
the decisiveness of Jim Dandy's victory,
first scored by the colt this year, left
small room for argument among those
who watched the downfall of the two
favorites expected to have matters all
their own way and settle the 1880 ques-
ton Of 3-year supremacy.
Fox Decides WhichOne.
The Fox, though tasting defeat for
the first time this year after smashing
triumphss in the Preakness, Kentucky
Derby and Belmont, settled the issue
with Whichone, pride of the Harry
Payne Whitney stable.
The race probably saw. the last APP
pearance of Whichone, 1929 juvenile
champion. The son of Chicle pulled
up very lame after setting the pace for
the first half mile Of the race. The

Pays Winner $27,5OO.
The victory was worth $27, 500 to the
winner. Gallant Fox, already ranked
second among the all-time winners of
the American turf, had been expected
to add this sum to the Golfers of Will

The Fox-Sande combination, hitherto
Unbeatable since last Spring, never was
much Of contender today. The Fox
may have been tired. He may not
have liked the going, though he had
won the Derby and Belmont in the mud
He and Sande may have figured it was
necessary to watch Whichone only.
At any rate, the Fox was never in
the lead, except for q few strides, and
had nothing to offer when Jim Dandy
moved out at the finiSh. Whichone set
the early pace, but Sande rated the
Fox along at the Whitney stars flank

up Whichone and the Whitney colt re-
gained the lead in a race that still
looked like the expected duel of IA

Going into the far turn Whichone
appeared to have Gallant Fox beaten,
but while the crowd was yelling madly.
Go on, Sande," new danger loomed
in the form Of Jim Dandy. Previously
unnoticed in the excitement. the West
ern colt had been kept close to the pace
by Jockey Baker. He was ready for
move and took the lead as though the
two favorites suddenly had been
stopped.
The Fox and Whichone, apparently
used up by their own battle, were un-
able to offer any challenge to Jim

TELIX TILGHMAN, champion COL
- ored horseshoe pitcher of North
Brentwood successfully defended
his title yesterday in an excit-
ing duel with Samuel Williams, dimin-
utive gamester. Williams made a cour-
ageous stand. He was way off his game
in the first contest and the breaks were
against him. The ringers he threw
were covered by the sturdy Tilghman.
In the second game williams had a
reversal of form. Starting with pair
of ringers, he followed with ringer after
ringer and had the champion on the
run.
The third skirmish was the game Of
games. With the crowd in an excited
mood, the game started with both
pitchers covering the peg and Thigh
man having the close shoe. They COW
cred ringer after ringer with the nearest
slipper deciding the inning. 1t was
contest of endurance with Williams
fighting hard to keep pace with his
stronger opponent. With the score 19
to 10 and Williams pitching first and
the gallery on edge. the little runner-up
winged a clear ringer, and close shoe
directly in front of the peg as a pro-
lection for his three pointer. Facing a
crowd which seemed decidedly in
favor of the little fellow, the Brent
wood titleholder took that familiar pose
that Tilghman only can and placed two
victory-laden ringers on the peg.
With county finals not far off, the
champion and runner-up plan to work
together in preparation for the big
event. Julius Wheeler, chairman of the
Brentwood tournament, will coach the
pair daily.
Results: Samuel Williams defeated
Bernard Tilghman, 1926, 1921 and
