 IN CINCINNATI; PAT MALONE STARS
Former BrasscO Hits a
 Homer, Gives Phils Ten Hits in l7 to 4 Win
By l.. S. CAMERON United Press Sports Editor)

New York, Sept H. (UP)-- With the playing out of the sche- dule reduced to a mere formality, baseball fans have lost interest in the Major league races and mag mates face the prospect of heavy losses for the balance of the sea- son.
 Lack of interest was demon- strated con lusively yesterday when less than 25,000 witnessed the seven Major league games, as compared with the attendance Of 6O,000 and 45,000 for charity" city series games at New York and Chicago the previous day.
 Reds Ruin Robins.
 Cincinnati set the new low mark for the season with a total paid attendance of 276 spectators for a game between the Reds and the Brooklyn Robins. The Phila- delphia Athletics and St Louis Cardinals, respective leaders in the American and National league records drew the best crowds of the day in home games, the Cards attracting 6, 500 spectators and the As drawing 5000.
 Cincinnati's loyal followers saw their favorites defeat Brooklyn, to 1. Red Lucas kept the Rob- ins' II safeties scattered.
 New York stopped the Pittsburg Pirates eight game winning streak 6 to 1. Carl Hubbell held the Pirates to four hits.
 The Chicago Cubs advanced to within 1-2 game of third place by drubbing Philadelphia, 17 to 4. Pat Malone allowed only ten hits and contributed home run and single to the Cubs 21 hit attack.
 Wild Bill Hallahan pitched the St Louis Cards to 2 to triumph over Boston, blanking the Braves until the final inning, and allow ing only z hits.
 Just Another Game.
 The Philadelphia Athletics con- tinued their march toward the American league pennant with a to triumph over St Louis. George Earnshaw allowed nine hits in earning his 18th victory.
 Washington kept pace with the leaders by defeating Cleveland, 5 to 8, and increased its lead over the idle third place New York Yankes to two games.
 Detroit defeated Boston, 3 to O., with wild Tom" bridges pinching six hit shutout.

 Slugtown, Aug 31-With big crowd in Slugtown hoping to see Luke Ott and Paul Bearer fight for the privilege of meeting Max Schmeling, 1t began to appear to- day there would be no bout.
 Luke Ott has disappeared! Whether or not the atatvistic activ- ities of Miss Kew seeking to collect a 14-year-old board bill from Luke had anything to do with 1t is not known.
 Meantime the simple folk of Slugtown and its environs have de- vised intreesting little contests to while away the time. The merry villagers were intrigued to-day by an exhibition of balancing the eight ball by Nal Demur, the we'll known juggler..
 Oddly enough. the Pickpockets' league picked this very time to hold their convention in Slugtown. Complaints have been received from several prominent secoDd- story men and professional bridge dynamiters to the effect that some ings have been lifted by these light-flngered folk.
 A prize has been offered for the pickpocket who performs the most unusual trick. To date Brother Arch N. Emee is leading by virtue of having clouted quarter out of the mayors shoes while his honor was sleeping on Il park bench.
 Brother Benny Fitt is on record as having swiped the stone Hons from in front of the city hall.
 Miss Kew is reported to carry more than sf upon her person at ali times. and there has been spirited rivalry among the dips to see who will set t first. q

Walnut Hills to
 Have Grid Team
By O. K. COAKLEY

As the baseball season comes to . close and the footballs begin to i'll the air vague murmurings are running strife up high on Walnut Hill.
 A few short months ago a group of youths met and decided to bend their efforts to putting the Hill back in her proper sport niche. Several baseball teams were form ed and the grand old veteran Les Hart volunteered to coach these squads. From a modest start the Hills soon formed the strongest amatuer team outside the organized leagues in this vicinity. Their eff forts were awarded when a group of packers told them to secure a francise in any one of the leagues next summer.
 Some of the Boys
 Wally Pipp was secured to do the coaching and that prophecy that nothing can be done without money was once more disproved. The Wells and Murphy brothers. Lerz. Blanchione. Lamontagne. Eontaine and other reputable play CTS were added to the squad of those who are giving their all to put the Hills over the top.
 The vague murmurings mention cd at the top are those concerning the founding of club on the Hill where the youths of the neighbor- hood may gather and where the sports may be fostered. The man aeement of the Hills is expected to 70 in to conference with Bill Der win and the local sport editors to decide whether or not club wiii Do formed. An excellent site aas been found and 6 definite an- nouncement as to the plans Tor a club is to be made known af the next meeting Of the sport heads of the HiI'.

My suggestion to beginners is to start playing short chip shots with a mashie first, and then take up a little practice with the butter. In this way, the beginner will acquire a better sense of distance, hence better control. and smoother swing than when one starts to play full shots from the outset.
 The average golfer takes a keen CT pride in his long game. but if he neglects the short shots at the start, he will find 1t harder to concentrate on them when the short shots are neede. And they are needed many times on every round.

FEW GAINS SEEN
BY RESERVE

Among the encouraging details
of the Federal Reserve Boards
monthly business summary today
was the statement that the pro-
duction of automobiles showed
less than the usual seasonal de-
cline during November.
Steel production increased dur
ing November, but in the first
three weeks of December there
was reduction partially attrib-
utable to seasonal tendencies. Pc
troleum production was heavier,
having increased to level slight
ly below that prevailing last sum-
mer before the output was cur
tailed.
Fewer employees were laid off
by the automobile and tire indus
tries.
In general industrial produc-
tion showed a somewhat larger
decrease than is usual during No.
vember. The Reserve Boards in
dex declined from 70 to y per
cent Of the 1923-1925 average. Ac-
tivity declined at woolen mills,
lumber mills and coal mines.
There were large declines in en-
ployment in the wearing apparel,
leather and building material in
duStrieS.

FORD g. NEAR,
IS REPORT

Informed Detroit sources believe
that Ford is definitely preparing
for the presentation of a new
Weight car, says the Standard
Statistics Company, of New York,
in a current survey, which con-
tinues, in part:
"While there is still no def
mite confirmation forthcoming
from the Ford interests, it is
believed that the projected four
cylinder offering, work on which
was suddenly halted a fortnight
ago, has been abandoned, and
that, instead, a Weight model
has been chosen to represent
the Ford bid for next years
business.
although this last-minute
switch of plans undoubtedly
will prevent the company from
having a full complement of
models in the hands of its deal
erS throughout the country by
the time of the January auto
mobile shows, the trade expects
that sufficient samples of the
eight will be built to exhibit at
strategic locations by early Jan.
uary."

LITTLE ACTION
ON CURB LIST

NEW YORK, Dec. "a. GN.S)
While oStensibly the Curb Mar.
ket was open for the transaction
of business today, it was apparent
that a good many stocks were not
apprised of this fact, for but
select group of representative is
sues put in an appearance dur
ing the greater part Of the deal
ings.
The utility group adopted q
stand - pat position, although
American Superpower, Brazil Trac'
ton, Consolidated Gas Of Balti-
more and Electric Bond and
Share, ventured into slightly
higher priced territory once or
twice in the course Of the trad.
ing. The outstanding casualty Of
the list was the 6 per cent pre-
ferred stock Of Electric Bond and
Share, which fell back 4 points
to So on a few transactions.
Standard Of Nebraska, one Of
the inactive performers among
the oil shares, garnered headline
honors with gain of a full point
to II.
Investment trusts remained in
q more or less undiSturbed state
around their previous closing
levels.
Great Atlantic and Pacific
stores violated the ethics Of the
day by staging a 2-point upturn
to lat.
Curb bonds were similarly
steady, although Electric Power
and Light debenture SIS which
were yesterdays weak feature, fell
back an additional 2 points to So.

$500, 900, as against $429,00o for
the corresponding period Of 1881,
according to estimates made fol-
lowing a meeting Of the COM
pany's directors.
These figures reflect the large
volume Of business on the COM
pany'S books and scheduled for

The increase in the payroll Is
considered by the Budd Company
to be a tangible indication Of

by agricultural leaders in both
branches of Congress.
The quiz is to be initiated in
January and will be part of the
investigation of the Federal
Farm Board the Senate Agri-
cultural Committee will be
asked to make.
Members Are Chosen
An investigation of the com
modify exchanges is already pro-
vided for in the resolution which
Senator Norris (R.) of Nebraska
introduced upon the convening
Of Congress. He has agreed to
amend it to provide for a joint
Congressional probe of the boards
Of trade.
The Senate members tenta-
lively chosen for this joint COM
mittee are Norris, Norbeck (R.)
Of South Dakota, and Kendrick
(D0 of Wyoming. All are we'll
versed in agricultural affairs.
Kendrick is large western cat
tie raiser.
The decision to have a joint
committee examine the opera.
tons Of the commodity ex-
changes was reached at several
conferences between the agri-
cultural leaders Of the two
houses.
Bond Revelations Cited
One of the determining factors
In fixing upon a strong, special
group to conduct the investiga-
ton were the revelations made
before the Senate Finance Com
mittee of the billions of dollars
Of foreign bonds floated in the
country by New York bankers in
recent years and the diffusion of
these now greatly deprecated
securities among hundreds of
small, country banks.
