LoganSpOrt- Frankfort

The giant arena was entirely filed
when Frankfort and Logansport
took the floor for the second game
of the day.
Logansport rushed off into the
lead when Marburger ambled up
the floor and eased in field goal.
Locke, fouled, made it to l with
one free toss. The teams played
cautiously until Thompson fouled
Meade, and the Berry star Topped
in a free toss to make it 3 to l.
Porter swished in a one-handed
shot and Frankfort called for time,
with Logan leading, ST.. The Hot
Dogs apparently were playing under
wraps, as they had not yet worked
formulated play.
StrOup Knots Count
They finally attempted to cut
loose, but had trouble finding the
range. Then Lawhead dropped one
in from the center circle and Stroup
followed it with one from side CEN
ter moment later to make it sail.
Campbell Topped in long one,
but Thompson's free throw leveled
down the lead. Thompson took a
pass, reversed and tossed in bucket
to make it 81, Frankfort.
Meade fired in left-handed shot
and Logan led again. Campbell
made an easy shot and Frankfort,
worried, took time out. Then, for
the first time, the Hot Dogs worked
play and opened a path for Stroup.
He registered and the score was
lilo, Logansport, as the half ended.
Meade drove down the floor and
connected with a field goal, but

Hamden looped in two charity
losses and added another a few
minutes later to make it 1912.
Porter went straight down the
middle, took pass and twisted the
ball into the net. Hamden, open at
the foul line, arched in a pretty one
and frankfort hurriedly called for
time.
The Hot Dogs were hustered and
worried. They rushed down the
floor, shook Lawhead loose and he
connected for field goal to make it
20-14 as the quarter closed.
Shaver fouled Campbell and he
hoiSted both free losses through
the ring to give Logan 22-14 edge.
Logansport gave Frankfort some of
its own medicine by going into a
stall. The clock had slipped down
to between four and five minutes.
Lawhead added a free throw to
FTankfort'S total to make it 22-15.
Three minutes remained and Logan
continued to stall.
Logan fuYnbled and Red Thomp-

WEAKNESS IN BOND
PRICES CONTINUES
Rail and Foreign Securities
Prove Soft Spots
in Market.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 28.-Bonds were
once again acutely weak today in only
moderately active trading. The wide
price declines on small sales that have
characterized the present market for
the past 10 days were chiefly in evil
dence In railroad bonds Of the junior
class and foreign dollar issues.
Once again Wall street was filled with
rumors> Of trouble in various quarters
more truth in the reports than there
was two months ago. But they served
to aggravate the current nervousness
Time money rates were unchanged.
German Bonds.
The feature was the severe break in
German government 51a per cent
bonds, the loan hoated under the
Young plan, just year ago. The
price broke more than points today
to new low, points under the
previous low made in January this year
and 2 points under the 1890 low. This
loan was offered here June IL, 1880, at
30 and today Is selling at 24-point
discount. Todays liquidation was
caused by renewed talk Of reparations
reVisions, q probable moratorium and
the likelihood that the Reich will have
dtmculty finding funds to pay the June
coupon. This break carried on the
prices Of other German bonds, such as
Preparations rs, German Central Bank
IS and Is, Berlin IS, Cologne 612s,
Saxon Is, Electric Power Of Germany
612s and United Steel Works 61as
There was an abrupt recovery of over
points in German Government 51z
per cent bonds and q corresponding
Improvement In other German bonds on
publication at noon Of q cable received
from one Of the large commercial banks
in Berlin. This cable stated that pro-
posed reparations reviSions would have
no effect upon the service Of German
dollar bonds.
Argentine issues were OF about 8
in a few caSeS-where the drops on
Wednesday had been widest-there
were gains. The list showed tendency
to stabilize around 81. 1t was stated
that the Argentine government would
have difficulty arranging the refunding
OF $50, 900 900 of per cent notes, which
mature here October /. Chilean. Co
lombian, Uruguayan and other South
Americans were weak also.
Losses at Opening.
Bonds were weak again at the OPEN
ing, but the trading was not so con-
centrated in the railroad group as on
Wednesday.
Remington. Rand 51as, of /; Chile
Copper SIS, on u, and Anglo Chilean
Nitrate rs, OF ia, illustrated the types
Of bonds affected. There were fractional
losses In Missouri-Pacific IS, Nickel
Plate 412s and International Great
Northern Adjustments Richfield Oil
IS dropped to a new low.
In the foreign department, there were
losses Of point or more In Colombia
IS and German Central Bank issues,
but Chile Mortgage Bank IS gained 4
points and there was evidence of Arm
ness in the rest Of the South American
group.
