STOCKS ARE LOWER
0NL|GHT TURNOVER
Losses Confined to Small
. Amounts-RaiI Issues
Are Weakest.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 19.-Slightly
easier but without definite trend, the
stock market began the week quietly.
Prices were lower on the average, espe-
cially in the rails, but the losses were
SO small as to carry no significance.
Some disappointment was manifest
over the failure OF the Interstate Com
merce Commission to hand down a
decision on the rate case Saturday and
that led to liquidation in the rails
today. New York Central sold of
nearly points and other stocks in
proportion, but they recovered partially
in volume-never enough to indicate
any change in sentiment. 1t is still
believed that the decision, together with
the plans of the administration for
credit relief. will be of substantial
assistance to the railroads.
Oil Advance Rumored. .
Pacific Coast reports that an advance
in crude oil was probable were read
with interest. Some of the lower
priced oils advanced and tie others
were steady, but speculative activity
was absent. United States Steel during
the morning ranged point or SO I'M
der Saturdays close, marking time
pending the midweek summaries Of the
industrial outlook. No change in the
steel dividend is anticipated at the next
meeting and the street is veering to
the view that the General Motors dis
bursement will be maintained at rs
cents quarterly. General Motors and
du Point were firm while the other
stocks Jagged.
Even the two most popular trading
mediums, j. l. Case and Auburn, moved
through a unusually small range. This
lack OF volume was taken as q good sign
by the constrCctioniSts. The stock mar
ket was not disposed to pay much at
tention to the Far Eastern situation.
Reports were current that the New
York Federal Reserve Bank would
make another advance in the rediscount
rate this week, but that was mere con-
lecture. Call money was firm at 2l2
per cent, but Federal funds were easier.
Opening Is Irregular.
Mixed price trends prevailed at the
opening.

Brokers' Comment

NEW YORK, October 19,-Brokerage
houses generally advise cautious invest
ment and trading policies in view Of
existing uncertainties in the finarci-.l
outlook.
E. F. Hutton & Improvement of
the banking situation would leave the
way open for excellent progress by small
concerns doing a domestic business
which does not involve large outstanding
credits and where product is turned
over quickly. The improvement in grain
prices might stimulate grain movement,
which would materially aid rail earnings
in the Midwest and Northwest. The
steel industry is more hopeful. For the
time being, hopes, and few facts, still
favor the constructive side.
Shields & Co.-The stock market will
wait on the meeting of Premier Laval
with administration leaders the end Of
the week All manner of rumors will
be in flotation as to what will be dis
cussed and as to what action. will be
taken. Only such short-lived flurries
as experienced over the past fortnight
can be looked for. 50 that cautious
trading policy must be adhered to-,

Russian-Italian COmbin ina- ton Sure to Please Zbyszko Meets Davis in Main Match at Bucking- ham Hall

Though wladek Zbyszko of Po- land, one time worlds heavyweight wrestling champion and Wee Willie Davis, Virginia giant, head Water bury's first wrestling show in many weeks tomorrow night at Bucking- ham hafi, the bout that local mat fans will get the most kick" out of is the melting between Mike Ro- mano of Italy and Vanka Valesniak of Russia. Vanka is a great perform CT in his own right and unquestion- ably one of the top-notch showmen of the grappling game. and about the only man alive who can carry on conversation with ringsiders while in the grip of an ear-scrambling headlock. Romano Is a clever, strong Italian who has lost very few bouts in his career, and if Vanka doesn't talk himself out of double arm lock or body scissors, Michele should finish on top.
 Up and Comin'
 Willie Davis of Virginia, tugging around the biggest pair of hands this side of the Mason-Dixon line will have those same hands full in trying to pin the willy Zbyszko. des- bite the latter's age. Wladek has for gotten none of the tricks of the trade tht kept him at the top of the heap for years but will take more than tricks to pin down the foot inch 230 pound bullock known as Wee Willie. Another bout that is sure to take the fancy of local fans brings together Blue Sun Jennings, Haskell Institute Sioux Indian and Billy Bar tush of Chicago University.

With MT. Ruth in the lineup lend- ing physical and moral support to the cause, the Yankees got off to 0 flying start to win six of their first eight games and gain wholesome lead in the American League. The club had everything-power defense and spirit-and looked lot like those battering Yankee outfits of '26, '27 and '28.
 Figure It Out
 Then Ruth, with a fine disdain for caution, plunked into Berry at the plate and had to be carried from the field. Since that day--a week ago yesterday-theYank have lost four, wone one, and tied one to slip from the top to third position. Of course, Cooke's injury played a part in the Tanks slump but it is Ruth's ab- sence that is largely to blame. The old saying "as Ruth goes, so goes the Yankees" seems to be holding good in 1881 just as it has ever since the Babe took over the right field bur- den at the stadium.
 Ruth was lat home" to score or so of sports writers yesterday, and during the informal interview said he expected to back in the lineup Sunday when the Yankees open an other series with the Red Sox in the stadium.

MID-SEASON FORM
 SHOWN BY PITCHERS IN YESTERDAY PLAY
Terrell, Haines and Thomas Turned in Stellar Mound Work to Win for Their Clubs
BY LEO H. PETERSEN

United Press Stan Correspondent)
 New York, April 30-(UP)- Whether the new ball is an aid to pitchers or major league hurlers have reached mid-season form was a matter of conjecture to-day among baseball fans.
 Splendid pitching performances, headed by Wesley Ferrelrs no-hit, no-run exhibition, were turned in yesterday in four of the five major league games played. Some fans at raised stitches on the new sphere while others, pointing to the heavy hitting in previous contests, inclined to the belief the pitchers were ap- preaching their peak forms.
 BrOthcrly Love?
 The Cleveland Indians pounded two St Louis twirlers for 13 hits in winning to behnid Ferrelrs un- usual performance. Only six Browns got on base and only one of them, Rick Terrell, the Cleve- land pitchers brother, got as far as second. Terrell struck out eight men. He aided his cause by hitting home run and a double, accounting for four tallies.
 Tommy Thomas of the Chicago
 
 made him one of the leagues lead ing pitchers in 1929 by shutting out the Detroit Tigers, to 0. Thomas allowed but seven hits. Earl White hill gave the White Sox only five safe blows but his four bases on balls were costly.
 Four Yank Twirlers
 The other American league game was a slugfest with the Washington Senators Lesting the New York Yam kees, g to :. Brown, although touched for 10 hits. went the dis tance for the Senators. Four hurlers worked for New York and allowed II hits. most of which were punched in the third, fourth and fifth innings.
 Jess Haines held the Pittsbhrgh h Pirates to four hits as the St Louis Cardinals won. to l. Haines did not allow a hit for the first seven in- nings. Kremer and Osborne yielded 12 blows.
 The victory enabled the Cardinals to retain their tie for first place in the National League with the Chi cago Cubs.
 In Punches
 The Cubs, behind the steady pitching of Ed Baecht. Pacific coast rookie, defeated Cincinnati, 3 to 1 Baecht allowed II hits but kept them scattered. Chicago punched four of the seven hits 1t got off Lucas in the fifth inning to score three runs.
 Rain caused the pestponement ot the Philadelphia-B Boston game ir the American league and the Bos- ton-Philadelphia and New York Brooklyn contests in the National.

 This year the Reds have been talk ing 1t on the chin a little harder than usual. The only person on the Reds squad who hasn't been in- jured in action this spring is Harry Heilmann, and the reason why he couldn't get hurt was because he has rheumatism in his wrist and couldn't practice.
