He disposed of Young. Rudy of Naugatuck in one round, Referee Newt Palmer having to stop it. after Rudy was up and down like yuor favorite stock used to be. He would be great match for Ernie Sims, if not too heavy.
 Town Plot Victory
 Joe vignali won over Joe Greco of New York in five rounds, the Gotham boy doing so much hold ing that it cost him the nod. He, vas much too classy for Joseph. but the latter's body attack slowed Greco down to a walk. Charley Badami of New York slapped Kid Hersey dizzy with an assortment or punches that lacked nothing but finding the right spot for k.o. Charley's footwork was also some thing to write home about, but he needs pug of Joe Vignalfs type to show his true worth. Johnny Sims had soft opposition in the form of Mike O'Malley of New York who lasted four rounds. Al Manley of Stamford was no match for Jimmy Paternostro of Newins- ton, the bout going less than round.

YOST SAYS GAME
 IS BETTER NOW
 THAN YEARS AGO

New York; Oct 30.-UP)-Un- like most survivors of an earlier era, Fielding H. Yost. Michigans s director of athletics, believes that football as played to-day is better than the game of the good old days"
 In an interview broadcast over a National Broadcasting company network last night, Yost, expressed the opinion that football to-day lis far more interesting to everyone, as played nowadays, with a pre- miuul placed on ability of men to be adroit, fast, braining. and quick thinking, than in the good-old days when brawn and beef counted So much"
 Some of the Boys
 Yost said Willie Heston, his first all-America, was perhaps the greatest halfback of all times" He also praised Germany Schultz, who was named at guard on Walter Camps all-time all-America; Harry Kipke, Michigan's present head coach, as ''the most accurate kicker I have ever seen."

In IA appearances in the far northwest and west, Dempsey at- tracted 11S,SOO customers and gate receipts of about $232,O00 (net) |. Dempsey's end was slightly more than $100,000.
 Soft Money.
 The former heavyweight cham pion will resume his exhibition tour in ten days in the middle-west. Sachs estimates that Dempsey will draw about 150,000 persons and earn another $S0,O00 in five mid- dlewest and two western appear ances within Is days.
 If Dempsey can draw that kind of money in exhibitions what will he draw when he's ready to fight again?" Sachs asked. Nothing short of a million, I'd say off, hand"
 Dempseys present plans call for him to make his second comeback next summer, but it's too far away to decide who his opponent will be and where the bout will be held.
 Sharkey on List
 Dempsey himself would prefer to meet Gene Tunney, the retired champion. in third bout, but that seems out of the question with Tunney showing no inclination to take up the gloves again. Max Schmeling, recognized by the N. B. A. as champion, is Dempsey's second choice. Dempsey wants no bout with Jack Sharkey, the Am erican champion.
 Dempsey is in Salt Lake City recovering from mild attack of intertinal influence contracted on a recent hunting trip. He will re- sume his tour at Des Moines No- vember 9.

BONDS ARE STEADY
IN QUIET TRADING.
Market Maintains Strong Un-
dertone-U. S. Group
Is Strong.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 16.-Bonds were
strong in quiet trading today.
Even the admission of 1894, $50
United States Treasury 32ss. redeenapla
in 1941 and due in 1943, did not in
crease the markets activity. These are
the recently issued bonds brought out
in the Treasury's March refunding pro-
gram and chiefly necessitated by the
soldiers bonus bill. Trading was
opened in them at 1917 and later they
went to 101 1882. That is little bet
ter than a 3.17 per cent yield basis,
which Is about where the rest of the
Government list is currently selling.
Money rates were unchanged, with 90
day loans at to PA per cent.
Today'S new issues totalsd about ST.
100000, of which $15,000,000 consisted
of City of Detroit tax anticipation notes
maturing in six months. They were
sold on a 2.40 per cent yield basis.
The slight premium at which they were
quoted mirrorsd the continued demand
for short-term high-grade paped. Large
portions of last weeks new offerings
were still on the hands of dealers today,
with little prospect that this week will
see any large amount of new bonds.
In the outstanding list, the feature
was the slow return OF railroad bonds
to last weeks highs. Prime issues, of
course, not having moved down far,
were the first to recover.
There was some irregularity in for
eign dollar bonds, but most price
changes were on the side of advance.
German government 51ks were only a
shade better, but Preparations rs, Ger
man Central Bang 6s and rs, German
municipal bonds and industrialS, like
United Steel Works 6l2s, had wider
gains. Austrian ISSUES were at new
tops. italian, Belgian and French bonds
remained firm, and so did most other
European descriptions. Poland rs, how
ever, were off / Y points. In the South
American list, Sac Paulo Is of 194O-
the coffee loan-gAined 2 points on
further favorable reports on service on
the issue. The results obtained by the
Sac Paulo Coffee institute in regulating
the flow of coffee under the loan have
exceeded the requirements of the bond
in every instance so far. South Amer
leans generally were firm.

POLICY OF RAILROADS
TOWARD TRUCKS RAPED
az the Associated PICS.

q
Policies adopted by American rail-
roads toward the growing competition
of highway transport agencies, particu-
larly motor truck service in freight haul
ing were vigorously criticized at Inter
state Commerce Commission hearings
from the standpoint of railroad users.
w H. Chandler, speaking for the
Shippers Conference of Greater New
York and the Merchants Association
of New York City, said the railroads
were doing little but appealing for
new regulatory legislation that will in
crease the cost of transportation serv-
ice"
Cost studies demonstrated, he said,
that highway truck service in general
was paying its way.
He said railroads generally should
go into the field of operating such
trucks and learn the facts for them
selves"
He recommended that the commits
sion allow rail carriers to make joint
rates with truck and bus lines for the
purpose of co-ordinating facilities. He
advocated also that rail carriers be per-
mitted to route freight by trucks when
this was advantageous.

NEW YORK, March 16.-The follow
ing is summary of important corpora
ton news prepared by the Standard
Statistics Co., Inc, New York, for the
Associated Press:
Weekly News Review.
Lack of significant movement in the
security markets last week, while not
offering great encouragement, was not
without some favorable aspects. The
reaction from apparent over-enthusiaSm
late in February was halted. Further
more the definite shock from the uneX-
pected dividend cut by such an i'm
portant market factor as New York Cen
trail failed to cause any general depres-
sion Of prices outside of the roalroad
group.
On March 10 Standard index for go
stocks stood at 1875, unchanged from its
level on March 6. Action of groups
composing this general index figure was
not without interest. 1t has been OBJ
served before that opposing tendencies
of rails and utilities have been a feature
of recent markets. and this opposition
was again noticeable to a marked de-
gree. Under the influence of the New
York Central dividend reduction, the
index for rails declined "a points to
96.4 on March IS, from 988 March 6.
and at the same time utilities advanced
3.9 points to 194.8. 1t is not improb-
able that some of the weeks demand
for utilities was due to limited switch
ing from rails, in anticipation of pos
sible future unfavorable dividend action
by other railroads following the con-
sentative policy Of the New York Cen
trail
The bond market declined slightly,
after absorbing in most encouraging
fashion heavy offerings, particularly of
railroad issues, early in the week.
Standard index for 80 bonds declined
OF points to 800 on March 49, from
976 March 6. The largest decline of
the constituent groups was recorded bby
rail, falling II points to l0l 8 March 49,
Placement of orders by the Pennsyl-
vanla Railroad in embarking on its
Sl75, 100000 identification program was

A small decrease in railroad carload

sidered unfavorable. Reports of a
slightly favorable nature were also re-
ceiyed from the copper industry show
ing reduced refined and blister stocks,

made up Of reduced blister stocks. Cop

ported on Thursday, amounting to $29,-
