LEGION WINS
 FIRST GAME
 THIS PERIOD
Four Errors Made in Lasl Half of Last Inning
 Lose Tilt for Elks

After playing six innings of er- rorless baseball and gaining 2 to lead by the last half of the seventh, the Elks baseball outfit blew up last night in the final frame and lost 3 to to the Ameri- can Legion. It was the first game of the second half.
 At least Jack Davis, home plate umpire, decided the Legion won. The trouble came after the Legion had tied the score at 2-all and filled the sacks with only one away. The Elks had already made three errors.
 Roberts got the edge of the ap- pie and sent it towards the box. Lowe fumbled it, then picked it up and heaved 1t home. Whether or not Blake had his foot on the home plate may never be known.
 Decision Unpopular
 From the scoring box it looked as if he did have At any rate the ball beat the runner by foot or two, Davis called him safe, the ball game was over, and the de- cision was decidedly unpopular with nearly everyone but the Le- zion players.
 Manning was hit safely eight times. three for extra bases, but Manning kept them scattered fof six frames. Lowe allowed but five hits, but had walk and an error against his average. Manning also made one bungle.
 The first score came in the third when Manning homered into deep right. The following canto the Bills showed over a pair. Keaton and Junge doubled, the former scoring on the latter's hit. Junge came home a moment later when Lowe sacrificed.
 Two Runs Made | In the seventh Brown singled ana went to second on wild heave from home to first. Ramsay famed Roller walked. Niemi hit to short and the apple was fumbled, filling the bases. Manning sent an easy one to Martin at third which Mar tin unused up, allowing Brown to | score and leaving the bases packed The questionable second run of the inning then came in on Roberts connection.

 Captain Kingsford- Smith, then planning his Australia flight, de cided to build his ship from rem nants of Wilkins planes. He took the fuselage of the single-motored Fokker, and the wings and landing gear of the larger plane and equipped the resulting ship with three new Wright whirlwind mo tors.

COMMODITY PRICE
UPTURN VITAL NEED
Reverse in Trend Necessary
to Sustained Improvement
in Business, Is View.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, June 21.-Because of
the Discrimination of industrial pur-
chasers to make commitments on a
falling market, the Standard Statistics
Co. sees little probability of a sustained
improvement in business until the
downward commodity price movement
is reversed, or prices definitely sta
bilized. A part of the survey setting
forth this view follows:
Commodity prices have declined
8l2 per cent in the past 10 months and
are now at the lowest level since
September. 1916. Although the cur
rent decline has so far been much less
precipitous than in the 1921-1922 de-
preston, its worldwide character
tends to magnify the unfavorable effects
On trade and purchasing power The
momentum thus established will I'M
doubtedly consume a considerable length
of time before it is finally dissipated.
Meanwhile. outputs are being curtaJled
and marginal productive facilities
eliminated. Further progress must be
MADE in this direction in order to align
supplies of raw materials with current
and prospective demand.
Benefits of lower prices for basic
products must be passed along in
greater degree to the consuming public
IN the form of reduced retail quotations.
Export trade will probably be less in
fluential in aiding price recovery be-
cause of more extensive facilities
abroad. lower selling prices and a dis
position on the part of foreign
countries to thoroughly establish their
independence of American products"

BIG MONEY PROMISED
In SHARK FISHING

Muskmelons, muskrats and mush-
rooms have been raised on a cooperative
basis and now the investing public is
offered a chance to make big money
IN cooperative shark fishing by buving
fer $3.50 60-foot section of a foot
shark net. The promoters of this in
genious scheme claim, according to a
recent announcement of the National
Better Business Bureau Inc. that
sharks will be caught in these nets at
the rate of at least 100 a month. They
assure purchasers that an accurate
account will be kept of the catch made
by each individual 60-foot net and all
sharks caught in a given net will be
credited to the owners of said net" AS
a fee for their fishing service the pro-
meters require that half of the catch
of each net above one shark per net per
month shall belong to them. Although
an average l2foot shark is worth from
Sl2 to SIC, according TO the Sharksters.
by cutting this expectancy to half you
learn that each 600-foot net catching
100 sharks per month should met" at
least $500 worth of sharks
No guarantee is given that the sharks
Will distribute themselves evenly among
the 10 sections of the net, but if thev
I 60 the company tells its prospective
shark fishers, each net would catch 80
10 30 sharks during the season of or
9 months. Half of these would 90 to
tie company as its service charge,
but this would leave an income for
each purchaser of from S276 to S3O6
per year on each 60-foot net owned.
That is, If the sharks co-operated with
the promoters, concerning the possibility
Of which the National Better Business
Bureau. Inc. raises some doubt.
10 make this proposition doubly at
tractive the promoters provide that,
even If your section doesn't catch any
sharks, they will allow you three sharks
a quarter. or Sl8 in cash Multi
piled by four, this would mean a mini
mum return of S72 for the year on a

There is no doubt about the invest
ment quality of the senior securities of
the Baltimore g. Ohio its bonds and its
preferred stocks. The market price of
the bonds testif1es to the high esteem
in which they are held by investors and
the preferred stock sells at times to
yield less than 5 per cent, although hat
is partly in recognition of the fact that
when rights to subscribe to new shares
are given the preferred receives them
equally with the common.
The only bond in which there is any
large public interest at present is the
recently issued Az per cent convertible
issue of 1860. Because this will be
eXChangeable for common stock on and
after February /, 1881, at price of $40
share 1t has a speculative attraction
which the other bonds lack.
To one wiling to sacrifice current
income in return for call on the stock
at that price. holding an entirely safe
bond meanwhile, these convertible Alps
are a highly desirable investment The
real problem relates to the common
stock itself. now paying dividends at the
rate of ST annually. On the basis of
the results for the first four months of
the year the margin of safety above
this 81 requirement is not large and if
there is no pickup in traffic it will be
reduced still further. 1t can be said
semi officially that the directors have
never considered any lowering of the
dividend rate so far. but the market
price of the stock is likely to reflect
rather closely the trend in earnings
1t is not the yield on a stock that is
a measure of its investment value, but
the number of times the dividend is
covered currently and the record of the
past The Baltimore e. Ohio resumed
dividends on its common late in 1923
at the annual rate of SIS, which was in
creased to Sc in 1926 and to the present
rate of 81 in 1929 The return to share
holders was again raised in 1927 by
rights which brought an average price
in the market of 50 and in 1929 by an
other offer, the rights on which sold
at an average of around $2.75 a share,
so that stockholders have Jared we'll.
There is no reason to believe they will
not be treated generously in the future,
providing that business revives, and as
to that the position of the Baltimore a.
Ohio is no different than that Of other
carriers.
