TRADE OF WORLD

Nations Whose Resistance to

s Autumn Slipping.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Defenders 20.-The
National Industrial Conference Boards
semi-annual survey of world economic
conditions, made public today, notes
no definite signs of business recovery
in countries which have been in the
doldrums for several years.
1t also says that commercial and
industrial activity in nations which
had resisted depression with fair sue
cess prior to 1880 began to slacken in
the early Autumn of this year.
Little Encouragement Seen.
"The conference board finds" says
synopsis of the report, that over
production, combined in some instances
with arbitrary price fixing. burdensome
taxation. unwise stimulation of eco
nomic activity by the governments
leading to excessive public indebted
ness and impairment of public credit
political uncertainties and revolutions
all have contributed to a diSlocation
of the normal conduct of business
throughout the world
while the great decline in prices
OF agricultural products and raw ma
terials has made it possible for the
importing countries to secure their
supplies at lower cost, their exports
have in turn suffered through the de-
cline of the purchasing power of the
countries that supply them with food
stuffs and raw materials.
War Influence Felt.
at appears from the survey that
those European countries which did
not take an active part in the World
War have not suffered so much from
the prevailing depression as have the
others. They did not inherit from the
World War the fiscal, monetary and
political difficulties that are disturbing
most countries of Europe. France and,
to a less extent Belgium are the only
countries that took part in the great
conflict which still are relatively free
from the effects of worldwide depres-

WINNERS ISSUE CHALLENGE FOR
 FEATURE GAME
Moose Would Play Picked Team from Vets and Elks
 Defy Is Issued

Flushed with victory after win ming the Little Worlds Series in three straight games, the Moose baseball club through it's manager
 Art McKinnon, today issued a challenge to the American Legion and Elks clubs to pick a team of any l2 players for a special feature game
 If it is accepted, it will be played in the immediate future, McKin- non said. The Paps are willing to play for money, marbles or chalk.
 McKinnon paid his team a high compliment today. He has managed that club for five years and won two championships. On two occa- sions there was no playoff series, but his team has qualified for en- try by winning one half of the league schedule. The 1880 edi- tion of the Moose Baseball club, without disparaging it's predeces- sors, is the best on record, probably the most consistently playing out fit ever put together in the City League" he declared.
 "The players have worked hard, no games, and have played in absolute harmony at all times. 1 They love the game and enjoy play l ing it. It has been a pleasure to manage such a bunch of athletes"
 Kinnon complimented the ! Legion club on it's good ! sportsmanship and gallant fighting | spirit. They are good fellows, good | oall players, and good losers. It | was privilege to have such oppo- ;ition," he said.

 When it was far too late to do a. great deal about the first half of the contest, the Stars suddenly came to life after sojourn in and near the cellar regions to climb into a Threatening position next to the top of the list.
 A bunch of injuries and the fail- ure of veteran hurling cast to swing into stride made Hollywood appear to be anything but pen nant defender. To make things worse the Stars seemingly didn't Gct the breaks. Seven straight games were lost by one-run margin.
 Then their hard-rock miner presi- dent, Bill Lane, loosened the purse strings. He purchased Dave Bar bee from Seattle, and the heavy hitter who had been getting no place with the Indians, went on home run hitting spree.

 There may be criticism of this years plan, too, as making for un- certainty among the players, but at least it will prevent ill-feeling. 1 This year the old Guard" of polo has remained studiously out of the picture, to make the team selection as easy as possible for Capt. Hitchcock.
 Veterans such as Webb, Steven son, Cowdin and Milburn declined even to be considered for the team. Milburn, in fact has gone on a shooting expedition in Scotland and will not see the opening of the International Cup matches.
 The test matches for the dozen candidates seeking the three avail- able positions, Captain Hitchcock being certain of occupying the fourth, so far have developed at least one new star-20-year- -old Pete" Bostwick.
 A cousin of Hitchcock, Bostwick has reputation as a steeplechase rider. He has improved so fast as a polo player that his handicap has been raised from four to six goals.
 Boscwick is still short of inter- national caliber, but he may rival Eric Pedley the sturdy Californian, in the chase for the No. 1 position, Rick" has experience and superior hitting ability in his fa- yor.
