work in special matches, while
not great, was uniformly good
and his new all-time season aver
age record of 121-17 in the Ma

heavily in his favor.

MOTOR REGATTA
SATURDAY

Those who like to watch the
buzzing little outboard motored
shells bounce from wave to wave
or listen to the steady roar Of
the larger speed boats will have
many occasions to indulge this
passion during the forthcoming
summer months if the Washing
ton Inboard and Outboard Re
gatta Association can help it.
They are making extensive plans,
for many regattas.
The association has obtained
the consent of Col. U. s. Grant,
3d., public parks commissioner,
to use the lovely Tidal Basin for
this purpose. The Basin is
ideally situated. It offers a
three-cornered slightly more than
a mile course in full view Of
spectators lined along the sea
wall encircling the Basin.
The Basin is easily accessible
by bus, street car and auto and
plenty of parking space is avail
able, so that the association ex-
poets large crowds. No admission
will be charged.
The first of this series of power
boat events will take place Sat-
urday, beginning at 1870.
Prizes are offered the first and
second place winners by local
merchants. These prizes are on
display at A. Kahn Co., 935 F.
st. N. w.
1t is an open event and boats
have been entered from Norfolk,
Baltimore, Richmond and An
napolis. Sixty are entered i'll the
eight events. Glass B, c and d
outboards events will be the first
three on the program, with free
for-all outboard, inboard motor
boat, family runabout, free-for-
all family runabout inboard and
outboard and outboard canoes
following in order named. The
canoes will race for a mile and
a half, all the others will be over
a five-mile distance.

Of RING
ALWAYS Do .
THEIR BIT
BY JACK DEMPSEY

Dy JAIN DLNAA 0GA
Whenever the reformers find
themselves in need of little eX-
ercise or desire personal publicity
they achieve both by throwing
bricks at the boxing game.
They exempt practically all
other sports and all other athletes
as being clean and honorable and
uplifting to the community. But
they never will let boxing alone
If opposition to the game does
not break out in one spot, it is
present somewhere else, and the
most trivial incident that hap
pens in the ring which might lack
in 100 per cent sportSmanship is
= eagerly seized upon by the "hol-
ier-than thou" crowd as positive
proof that the game is crooked
and dishonorable and should be
abolished.
But have you noticed that
whenever any charitable or
ganiZatiOnS need money
when sick babies need milk,
when tubercular youngsters
need help, when the jObless
and broke need food and
clothes and rent money
. that the appeal is always
made to the boxers?
No one ever noticed a boxer
backing away from the chance
to help a good cause. The boys
not only have offered their SER
vices but they have contributed
their cash. If you go through
the list of donations made by
the various athletes to different
charities it is quite likely you will
find that the boxers have given
more than all the other types Of
athletes put together. Always it
has seemed strange to me that
the. folks sponsoring some great
charity have not applied to the
baseball club owners, the tennis
organizations, the race track peo-
pie, the footballing colleges, etc.,
for help. Maybe they have.
If so, the answer must have
been a rundown, for do
not recall hearing about any
important games of baseball,
a tennis, football and such
being played for the benefit
of some great charity. ..e ~~
Boxing may be a little rough
as sport at times and maybe all
the boys do not know which fork
or spoon to use at certain mo-
ments, but they are the most
generous, the biggest hearted and
the most human of any set Of
athletes I can think offhand.

STOCKS IRREGULAR
IN LARGER TRADING
Market Is Again Battle
ground, With Bull Ele-
ment Stronger.
BY STANLEY w. PRENOSIL.
Associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK, January 16.-Persistent
demand for utility and several of the
leading industrial shares lifted the stock
market irregularly higher today despite
another bear onslaught against isolated
shares. Trading expanded notably.
Sales during the first two hours of trad
ing totaled nearly / 500 900, exceeding
the turnover for the fun five-hour ses.
sion on Monday.
Failure OF the heavy selling of Mont
gomery Ward to unsettled market yes
terday was reaSsuring to operators for
the rise, and a vigorous bear drive
against Radio today was viewed non
chalantly in most quarters, although
several Of the motors and oils were in
clined to sag.
The Bank of England made no
change In its discount rate OF per
cent, and hopes of decrease IN the
New York Federal Reserve Bank rate
late today vanished. Credit conditions
continued easy, however, and the belief
persisted in banking quarters that
money rates are definitely headed lower.
Call loans again renewed at Az per
cent. but funds were soon available
at 4.
Business and industrial news was for
the most part not of character to
influence the market. Announcement
that General Electric and Westinghouse
Electric planned to enter the radio
field. however, caused vigorous buying
OF those shares, and was used as a.
basis of bearish operations against the
stocks of companies now in the field.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
, sion's order to the Baltimore g. Ohio
, to divest itself of its holdings of West
ern Maryland was apparently without
influence, B. g. o. actually selling a
little higher. Likewise, indications
that Congress will shortly consider the
bill to investigate railway holding COM
panies was without notable influence
on Allegheny Corporation. Announce
ment of further cuts in crude oil prices,
however, while obviously a constructive
measure designed to curtail production,
caused considerable sagging of the oil
shares.
Offerings of various low-priced shares,
particularly the motors, eventually
weakened the rising trend and the list
turned downward in the late dealings.

is a conspicuous lack of bonds in the

Very few of the trusts" set out their

The policy of finance company man

OF their common shares has developed
two schools of opinion concerning this
practice. 1t has been adopted by the

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 16.-Close
study is being made of the reports Of in
vestment trusts and trading corpora
tions, which are coming out in volume
from day to day, and which cover the
period of the recent stock market crash,
as we'll as of preceding months.
These reports indicate than while in
many cases the trusts" experienced a
heavy shrinkage in securities in october
and in November, this was IN paper
profits rather than in capital and that
consequently, they were able to show
better figures at the end of 1923 than
at the close of 1928.
Extent Of Depreciation.
The extent of the depreciation was in
numerous instances sensational. one
corporation reported that on September
% the market value of its assets was
81 per cent above their cost or book
value. This represented an enormous
paper pfofit to the company. Apparently
its management felt that securities were
going still higher and it failed to take
advantage of its opportunity to turn a
portion of them into cash. So on No
vember 10 the market value OF its port
folio was IL per cent under cost, with
substantial paper profits turned into
paper losses. In the subsequent market
recovery the securities appreciated and
on December 81 were 10 per cent above
tthe cost figure.
The current reports are valuable in
giving q picture Of the kind of Sc
curity that seemed to appeal most to
finance corporation managers. Most OF
them appear to be overbalanced on the
side of too-high ratio of public utility
shares, or in concentrated investments
in popular industrial equities" Except
the companies that specialize in railroad
stocks, portfolios contain only a mod
crate percentage % rails" There also

market when the stock sold below SIS,
the difference in the preferred capital
structure resulting increased the value
Of the common stock about 81 a share.
Buying Own Securities.
The argument against this practice
is that, while it increases the asset
value of junior stocks, it results in a
reduction Of the total investment assets
of the corporation. The criticism has
been made that 1t gives a false i'm
preston to the stakeholder Of the merit
of his investment. The New York Stock
Exchange has intimated that 1t does
not look with favor on the practice
Of trusts" whose shares it has listed,
buying their own securities, even
though these may be taken in at what
seem to be attractive prices.
