The Short Interest

There has been considerable
short selling during the past two
sessions, and while temporarily
this has had a somewhat de-
moralizing effect on the price
structure, in the long run this
will prove helpful to the re-
covery. The shorts have to cover
and I wouldn't be bit sur
prised to see some Of the more
powerful constructive forces stage
a run in Of the shorts within
the next day or two.
Allegheny acted just about as
I thought 1t would. It dipped
to q new low for the year at
1879, but snapped back sharply
and closed with only a small
fractional loss. This stock still

four points.

Baltimore and Ohio

Baltimore and Ohio
Despite the prospects for q
continuation of a fairly good
dividend rate, even If the present
rate is cut, Baltimore and Ohlo
continues to meet with diSfaVor.
Just for the sake Of argument,
let's agree that the rate Is cut
to SIS annually. A the current
price, a SIS dividend rate would
mean a yield Of better than GIT
per cent, which, all things con-
sidered, is an exceptionally high
return for a stock Of the type
of Baltimore and Ohio.
General Electric fails to act as
though it were being supported

coming enthused over this stock

Here and There
Once more the brokers have
turned cautious. Earlier in the
week a majority of them were
beginning to see silver lining.
One house, which is usually
right on such things, estimates
that General Motors will earn
about 1901 a share this year.
This would leave approximately
$4,000 above dividend require

MINNEAPOLIS, March 12.-Sully

College gridder and weighing go
pounds, today is the newest member of
the Society of American Fist Fighters
who have been knocked out by Prima
Camera, the ninth to gain admission
since the Italian giants invasion of
the United States got under way.
Montgomery was willing, but his
battle ardor cooled early in the initial
round of bout scheduled for 10 rounds
last night and he was staggering as he
sought his corner when the bell rang
ending the first round. A furry of
gloves from the 275-pound Alpine slug

For Camera the encounter appeared

Sure Way to Get Rid Of Dandruf

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. Then you
destroy it entirely.
To do this, just get about four
ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon;
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
By morning, most, if not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and two
or three more applications will COM
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it, no
matter how much dandruff you may
have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop
instantly, and your hair will be

That makes eight. You can't leave
out Napoleon Lajoie. There you are up
Plank, Evers, Walsh, Chase, Sisler,
Baker, FTisch. This tenth selection is
where the big kink enters. Chase and
Sisler were two of the greatest first
basemen of all time. Ed Walsh was
one Of the great pitchers of all time.
Hornsby has led the National League in
batting six or seven times. He has been
star for more than 10 years. Plank
and Bender were great pitchers for is
years.
1t may be that one of these from the
latter group belongs in the first nine.
But which entry from the first nine
picked could be left out? The shadow
over Chase and Jackson works to a GER
tain extent against their fame-but
they were two great ball players-two
of the greatest. 1t was almost certain
that query like the one outlined above
would have to have catch or kink
somewhere, and apparently 1t comes in
the naming of the tenth member. The
votes here would surely be badly scat
tered. There would hardly be full
agreement with the first choices made,
but they would carry most of the
fanatical support. The tenth spot is
where the oratory would break out in
rush.
Looking Back.
TO show how the tickle fan may be
inclined to forget some of the old
timers, another correspondent mails In
an old Spotlight column, written back
in 1916, just IA years ago.
It recalls one of base balls greatest
individual achievements-to this effect:
The Fan Club, in hectic session, had
gathered for the purpose Of debating
the most distinctive feat of the base
ball year, by individual or by team.
One vote went to the Giants for win
ming II straight on the road from a
start in last place.
Another vote went to Iris Speaker
for leading Ty Cobb over 40 points for
the first four months Of the race.
Still another earnest fanatic cast his
vote for Grover Cleveland Alexander,
who has undoubtedly worked one of the
greatest seasons In the broad realm of
play.
A fourth vote was cast for Fielder
Jones and the Browns who started from
the soggy depths of seventh place for
spin of 81 out of % games.
These incidents and episodes, indi-
viduals and clubs, were all entitled to
the burning eloquence poured out in
their behalf.
We believe, too, a vote should be
awarded to Cok Wilbert Robinson, the
King of Brooklyn
But If we had to cast one exclusive
vote for the most distinctive feature of
the year it would go to certain mid
dle-aged sedate citizen by the name of
