REMOVAL OF WARD
DIRECTORS SOUGHT
Stakeholder Charges Mismanage-
ment Has Occurred in Baking
Company's Affairs.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, January 24.-Papers
have been filed in the Circuit Court
here asking the removal from Office of
Ralph s. Kent and william C. Evans,
president and chairman of the board
OF directors, respectively, of both the
Ward Baking Co. The action also seeks
the removal from office of nine direc-
tors OF the corporation. Mismanage-
ment is alleged
The corporation, organized under the
Maryland laws, is holding unit for the
baking company, incorporated under the
laws of New York State. The suit de-
clares the company is entirely and
completely dominated by the holding
corporation"
The suit was brought by Harvey Y.
Breidenbach, who holds 90 shares Of
preferred stock in the corporation.
George B. Smith of New York fled a
petition to join with Breidenbach in
bringing action. The petition asserts
Smith holds 500 shares Of preferred
stock in the corporation.
In addition to the removals asked on
the ground that the concerns have been
operated in a careless. wasteful and
improvident" manner, the proceedings
ask that the officers and directors make
an accounting of $1,335,00o of the
firms money alleged to have been used
to buy outstanding stock
During the first six months of last
year, according to the action, the COM
pany Melted only $485 900, or a loss of
70 per cent in comparison with the
earnings for the same period Of 1929.

ADVANCE IN RAILROAD
STOCKS WELL SUSTAINED

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 24-The av-
erage of railroad stocks today approx
mated the high of two weeks ago, when
the general market reached its best
level of the month after an upward
swing at the end Of December.
The consistent strength in the rails
has been one of the unexpected and
significant features of the entire mar
ket performance. It has been aided
by the replacement of stocks which
were sold by individuals and inStitu-
lions late last year, in spite of the fact
that current earnings continue poor and
are not likely to show much change
for the better during the Winter or
early Spring. Eastern rails are still
being benefited by the proposed con-
solicitation and those in the West and
Southwest by preliminary figures for
1880, which will indicate that their
dividends were covered in spite of the
heaviest decline in net earnings in a
decade.

HIGH STOCK YIELDS
SOUGHT BY BUYERS
Demand Also Develops for Low.
Priced Issues on New York
Market.
BY CHARLES r. SPEARE.

Special DiSpatCn 10 Inc 5tdT.
NEW YORK, January 24.-The fash
ions in speculative and investment
stocks today call for a low price in
dollars or a high income return. THIS
contrasts with the market styles most
popular in 1929, when the public cen
tered its attention on blue chips" and
was not at all particular about the
return on its capital.
One of the most striking develop
ments in the recent stock market has
been the demand on brokers for lists OF
ow-priced SHARES. This reflects a re-
action from a market condition where
depreciation IN dollars was greatest IN
the favorites of two years ago. 1t also
indicates the caution of purchasers OF
stocks in the matter of limiting their
commitments to issues that are now so
low that it is reasonable to expect they
will not decline much further. Advan-
tage of this demand has been taken by
several fixed trusts, whose portfolios
have been made up largely Of stocks
selling below $50 share.
list Of stocks from which the pres
ent analysis has been made was pre-
pared by a New York Stock Exchange
firm. It includes % issues selling be-
tween 81 ana about $40 share and "a
stocks whose current prices range from
around $40 share TO $50 a share. In
both groups comparative quotations pc
tween the high prices OF 1929 and 1890
and present ones are given. These
have been reduced by the writer to av-
erages for the various periods for the
two different sets of stocks.
In the first group the average mar
ket value of the % issues, at their tor
in 1929, was $37 share. In 1880, pre-
sumably in the Spring boom, the high
average was $24 a share. Today it Is
So a share In dropping from the high
average of 1929 to that of the preseVt
time these % stocks have had an aV-
erage loss of about 80 per cent. Only
OF the % stocks are now paying divi-
dends. The average yield on them is n.
per cent. The most extreme changes
In this list are those of Columbis
Graphophone. which has dropped from
its high of S834 to about 3. and ir
Coty, from above 80 to the present hg-
ure Of around SO a share. n

NEW YORK, January 24.-Punctu-
ated by two periods of selling, the Curb

price changes. but with the trend gen.

Small moves in the higher-priced in
dustrials like Aluminium Co. of America

followed by a furry in miscellaneous
industrials, many of which appeared

Then came a squirt in the motors.
Ford Ltd. opened off y at 1885, but
before the end of the first hour was
above the 19 level. Ford Motor of
France at 9 was up a point. Cord
Manufacturing was dull.
The omission Of the quarterly COM
mon dividend by Massey-Harris caused
traders to shy at farm implement

New York, Dec. 29.-(P)-Ability Of
the st. Louis Cardinals to maintain
their winning ways on the road proved

The playing site meant little to the
champions who set an even pace all
the way, with a winning percentage Of

second in the race proper, had q per-
centage Of $40 at the Polo Grounds

SO losses
Four other clubs, Chicago, Brook
lyn, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia,

but fell down disastrously on tour.
Cincinnati and Boston played no ia
vorites, losing with equal facility in
anybody's park.
Other assorted figures divulged by

COMES OUT IN FAVOR
OF SPRING TRAINING

New York, Dec. 29.-P)-College
football coaches from all parts of the
United States, in session to take IN
nual stock Of the gridiron sport, were
greeted today by the declaration of
their retiring president, John F.
Chick Meehan. that "the game
needs no defense"
Meehan'S statement, voicing the
views of a big proportion of his as
s~ociates, was accepted as the open
ing shot in q move by the coaches to
check unthinking attacks or "over-
Jealous" attempts to alter football
rules because of the extraordinary
number Of deaths from grid-iron &C
cidents in 1881.
None Of the coaches sought to
minimize the gravity in a situation
that has cost the lives Of 48 youths.
At the same time they were not pre-
pared to recommend any radical
changes in the rules.
Stricter enforcement of some Of the
existing regulations, especially with
reference to use Of hands, va re-
garded by most coaches as the vital
factor.
Takes Leadership
Meehan took the leadership In an
attempt to bring several controversial
subjects out into the open. In his
farewell presidential address, pre-
pared for delivery at the opening
session Of the American Football
Coaches association, Meehan express
ed himself strongly favor Of spring
training.
Possibly way to lessen the In
JurieS and reduce the number Of
fatalities" he said, lis to be fair with
the boys themselves and to allow the
coach more time to teach his squad
more thoroughly the fundamentals Of
the game. A boy should be allowed
to enjoy reasonable spring practice"
C~onspicuously missing at the gath
ering was the personal influence of
one Of the associations greatest
spokesman In former disturbing times
-Knute Rockne. The coaches plan
ned to honor Rockne,s memory in the
annual meeting as well as at the ban
quet board tonight in the brown
derby story telling contest, a fay-
orite outlet for the wit of the wizard
OF NOtre Dame.

to pace the opposition all during the
contest. Medina spurted in the final
minutes to reduce the victor's lead.
Watson and Abbot were high point
men for Dawson with Anderson and
Rustand bearing the brunt of the de-
tense.

SAY GAME REQUIRES
NO MORE TIME Than
MANY OTHER SPORTS
Base Conclusions on Mass of
Figures Obtained From
400 Universities
COMMITTEE MAKES REPORT
Chick Meehan, Deposed N. Y.
U. Coach, Says Pastime
Needs No Defense

New York, Dec. 29.-F-1n answer
to charges that football is over-em-
phasized, takes up too much time and
lowers classroom efficiency, a special
committee that has studied the ques-
ton a full year presented a blanket
denial to the football coaches aSsocia-
ton Tuesday.
From a mass of figures compiled on
the basis of the answers of 400 univer-
sites and 273 varsity captains to a
QUESTIONABLE, Lou Little, Of Columbia
university, head of the committee of
five, drew this conclusion:
1T is the opinion Of the committee
the information obtained indicates
that football is not over-emphasized.
That it may be over-emphasized in
some institutions We do not deny but
to condemn the game because too
much attention is paid to 1t in a few
institutions is manifestly unfair and
unjust.
1T would be just as sensible to con-
denim a religious or political inStitu-
ton in its entirety because some off,
cial was lax in the performance of
his duty"
The committee, consisting Of Little,
Charles Bachman, of Florida; Alvin
(Bo) Mcmillan, Kansas State; Noble
Kizer, Purdue; and Paul SchiSsler,
Oregon State, was appointed at the
1880 meeting to examine the situation
statistically. Analysis Of the ques-
tionnaires, the. committee reported,
brought out these facts:
Point to Facts
That football practice and lectures
take up less than half the time a STU
dent must spend on college publica-
lions; about two thirds the time crew
requires; much less than dramatics or
lacrosse, and even less than debating.
That the time required for prepara-
ton for academic courses such as his
tory, English, modern languages and
chemistry much exceeds" that devot-
ed to football or any other extra
curricular activity.
That on a basis of time devoted out
of regular season, football ranks six
tenth, behind such sports and activ-
tiles as swimming, lacrosse, crew, golf,
track, boxing, wrestling, glee club, and
basketball among others.
That on a basis of week, only base
ball and track cover shorter periods.
That in length Of daily practice
football stands fifth behind golf,
dramatics, lacrosse and baseball.
That in the number of enforced alb
sences from classes football stands
eighth.
Scholastic standings Of football
players received from ten universities
showed that in practically every case
athletes are as high if not higher
than the general average"
