Each Of the teams will meet each

homeland home basis. All OF the
remaining games between the two
brackets will be played on the san

A HEAVY UNDER7ONE
Early Afternoon Rally, Amount
ing to About Point, Is
Lost Quickly

New York, May 5.-(R)-Stocks fluc-
tuated irregularly Tuesday but showed
heavy undertone. Trading was
quiet. An early afternoon rally,
amounting to about a point in active
issues, was quickly lost when pressure
against the steel shares developed dur
ing the late trading. U. S. Steel drop
ped a couple of points and Inland
nearly 3. Republic and Bethlehem
sagged moderately. American Can,
American Telephone, Allied Chemical
and Westinghouse declined 2 to 3.
WOolWorth was strong. Sales exceeded
100000 shares.
The upward trend which appeared
Saturday was carried over through
the first hour but the market then
went into a slow decline Selling
uroke out in some copper shares. and
soon spread through more important
sections of the list. Early gains of a
point or two were replaced by losses
of similar extent.
U. s. Steel declined more than two
roints, getting down close to the
years low. and issues recording losses
cf like extent included American Tel
ephone, Westinghouse Electric, Amer
lcan Can, Baltimore and Ohio, East
man, Air Reduction, Noranda mining,
and Caterpillar tractor. Losses of a
point or SO were numerous, embrac-
ing North American. General Motors,
Pennsylvania Railroad and New York
Central. Radio sold up more than a
point in response to Its quarterly
earnings statement. but lost much OF
its gain.
Finding little upon which furth-
Il rally might be based. bears again
applied pressure in spots, but were
not aggressive.

For Crime of 1897

Chicago, May 5.-(P)-Alfred S.
Purssell, 50, a casual who claims he
was unable to obtain employment,
asked police Monday night to return
him to prison for committing a tech
nical crime "a years ago.
He claimed he was sent to prison
in 1896 for burglary and was paroled
in 1897.
after that I never reported back
to parole agents." he said. Il fought
in the Spanish war-went to Cuba.
In 1917 I went to France and fought
there. I was wounded. The wounds
are bothering me now. Can't you
send me back to prison for violating
parole so I can have place to sleep
and something to eat?"
Police could find no record Of
Purssell, and unless the state parole
office can find some authority for
holding him, Purssell will be refused
the privilege of returning to the
penitentiary.
