Bears and Things


Action of the market itself in
the past few days indicates
constructive campaign. by the
bear forces for lower prices. And
the leadership Is obviously good
For example, Eastman Kodak
was hammered on Tuesday, Coca
Cola on Wednesday and Allied
Chemicals Thursday.
Selling of the blue chips nat
urally induces weakness through
out the list, and the inevitable
LIQUIDATION. In addition there
seems to be a sort of whispering
campaign to help the deflationary
move along, as stories that this
and that big interest is Gin trou'
ble," new financing by rich com
panies for no apparent reason
failures of one sort or another
and what not. There maybe
basis for some Of the rumorS. but
in the majority Of cases it ap
proaches pretty close to malicious
mischief.
Selling of Baldwin brought
stories of this type that have
been going the rounds for some
time. The stock broke badly yes
terday. In Baldwin's case the
reason for the selling seems OBJ
vious. It may earn its dividend
for the year, but railroads have
been curtailing new locomotive
buying to the minimum and the
outlook for the equipment com
panies is far from rosy.

their ground, preserve their respected

to make furious quivering leaps.
A battery, tumultuous and shining
mass, was swirling toward the right.
The wild thud of hoofs, the cries of
the riders shouting blame and praise,
menace and encouragement, and, last
the roar of the wheels, the slant of the
glistening guns, brought the lieutenant
to an intent pause. The battery swept

You'd never guess times are
not what they used to be If
you had seen them stamped

When adults nearly tear the
buttons and snaps off each

be worse.
Bowie uses what Amos n
Andy might call "cyrology"
when it opens it's gates on the
day following a Government pay
day in Washington.
And those who went out to
play the favorites could just
as well have stayed at home
SO far as their profits were
concerned-even better.
The American flags at Bowie
are the only ones we have OBJ
served not at half staff since
the demise of former President
Taft, not quite 80 days ago.
The people who click the
turnstiles out yonder at Prince
Georges Park would be far bet
ter satisfied If the first race
started at 1880 instead OF an
hour later.
Those who waited to play the
entire seven races either went
without supper or bought 1t
down town. It's a cinch no
normal housewife or maid would
wait the evening meal until
Bowie let's out and the custom
ers get home.

lawn at all, but a vast cake
of concrete that is harder than

They seemed to be afraid

We are going to have q
worlds heavyweight champion
some time in June, almost two
years after Gene Tunney picked
up his marbles and went for
matrimony.
The Schmeling-Sharkey tiff
should furnish a very interest
ing entertainment, their styles
are so different.
If Jack doesn't keep q cooler
head than he did at Miami
month before last, he's not
going to become champion
either. This Schmeling man is
a clever, methodical,, scientific
Dutchman. He's much under

The Germans do their work
very thoroughly. We thought
he did Pauline up quite neatly
in q package and marked him
rather definitely for the dead
letter office. -
Schmeling has been idle the
better part of a year since
then, while Sharkey has had
two fights-Loughran and Scott.
But since he only fought about
four whole rounds, his com.
petitive edge won't be much
better than the lettering Ger

Their fight, Sharkey's and

rounds or less and Mrs. William

Many people wonder why. the
Garden invariably ties up with
some charity when it promotes
a fight. That is because certain
taxes are not levied on charity
entertainments and the welfare
work indicated gets what might
otherwise go to an exacting
