NEW YORK, October 1.-One of the
unsettling phases of recent liquidati
as seen by Wall Street, is that taking
place in preferred stocks, especially
those of public utility companies. A
leader in this group for years. namely
Electric Bond & Share per cent
preferred, has dropped nearly 80 points
in a comparatively short time and is
now selling on an per cent basis.
General Motors per cent preferred,
the senior issue of General Motors.
which is completely covered by the cash
in the corporations treasury. has
dropped 10 points to below 90 in the
past 10 days. A per cent public utility
preferred stock. which sold at par re-
Gently, was offered today for a bid
around 49, and Standard Gas g. Elec-
trio per cent preferred sold at 80.
In the unlisted market for public
utility preferred stocks, q condition of
Generalization exists. The best infor-
nation rs to the source of the selling
is that it comes from the British In
vestment trusts, who were large buyers
OF American preferred stocks last year
when these afforded them the yield and
the security which they demanded.

BENNY LEONARD
 MAY CEASE HIS
 RING COMEBACK
Recent Appearances Have Proven Flops = Fit to Fight But Seeks Setups
By DIXON STEWART

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 The much ballyhoo "come- back" by Benny Leonard, retired undefeated lightweight champion of the world, after seven years ab- sence from the ring, appears un- likely to pass the preliminary "ex- hibition" stage.
 Benny was disappointed sadly by the lack of gate receipts in his opening appearance in the metro- politan area, at Newark. recently. and will abandon the comeback" unless assured of more monye for future appearances.
 Although he had been guaran- teed $2,500 for his exhibition at Newark, Leonard get nowhere near that sum. Less than 1900 spectators were in the armory and Benny finally consented to work on a percentage basis. He got liti- tie more than training expenses for his appearance.
 Now, Benny, who aided in set- ting the worlds record of $473,000 for a lightweight championship bout at Jersey City a few years ago, admits that his comeback" aspirations were actuated by the need for money. With boxing feel ing the effects of the general de- pression Benny's chances of re- couping his fortune in the game are less favorable than at any time since he quit the ring, and he will not go through with his come back unless he is sure that it will prove profitable.
 The performance given by Leon- ard at Newark was far from a S2,500 exhibition and did little to oqffset the belief that the "come- back" is doomed for an artistic as well as a financial failure.
 Benny boxed three opponents- none of whom was good enough to carry his gloves a decade ago. Benny knocked out each of the trio-that is, all three went to the canvas and were counted out-but the exhibition did nothing to strengthen Leonard's bid for inn mortality.
 Leonard looked as if he were fit to fight, but he is unlikely to find fans willing to pay money to see him do so, until he proves his abil- ity to meet ranking opposition.

Luncheon will be served at 1880 and the business meeting will fol- low. The most important item en the slate is the annual election of officers with an unusual number of candidates for the cvarious of fees. Fred Teller of Meriden is one that has already been nominat- ed for the office of president, but many others from various parts of the state have also been mention ed as possible candidates. Harmon Genlot of Waterbury has been named as one to advance from vice president to the head of the asso- citation. Others interested, ac- cording to reports are Harry Hig5y bury, W. B. Stevens of Deep River. Herman Schincel of Derby and Frank Barber of Danielson any one of who would make an ideal president.
 Neal Ball In Race.
 The office of secretary too has to be decided. Thomas F. Wall the present secretary, and cap able one is seeking reelection, but other factions have their nominees. Bridgeport would like to see Neal Ball the veteran ball player in- stalled as secretary while the eastern end of the state are nam- ing Charlie Harding of W1lliman- tic, but who is an uncertain starter due to pressure of business.
 Return of Small Pins.
 A matter equally as important a fhe election ia the dfscussion on tme revision of the rates to be charged. The bowling alley men claims that there is not an ade- quate return for the money invest ed at a charge of 15 cents per game and many are in favor of in- ce-asing the price to 20 cents. This is meeting with opposition within the ranks and possible solution is to adopt two balls in- stead of three thereby speeding up the game and increasing produc- ton. Another suggestion that has been offered is to return to the A inch ball and smaller pin, the supporters of which claim would materially increase the days re- ceipts by reason of the fact that the bowler would physically be able to roll more strings. These matters together with the planning of the program for the Connecti- cut Duckpin league suggests busy afternoon. It is expected that every city of importance in the state will be represented at the meeting as the gathering looms up as one of the most important in the history of the association.

CARNERA-DEMPSEY FIGHT WOULD BE
 A REAL NATURAL
Should Primo Whip Shar= key and Be Matched With the Ex=Champ Mil= lion Dollar Gate Would Result
By HENRY McLEMORE United Press Staff COrrespondent)

New York, Sept 22-(UP)-That million-dollar gate we were talking about several chapters back will descend upon us in a year if Prime Camera whips Jack Sharkey in their October l engagement in the Brooklyn ball park.
 Camera Only Man
 We say if Camera whips Sharkey, because it's all up to the big Italian. Camera, Schmeling and Tunney are the only three men in the world who, pitted against Jack Dempsey, would do a million dollars worth of business. And you can throw out Schmeling and Tunney as possible foes for the old Manassa Mauler, Schmeling is out because Dempsey is entirely too smart to match his wobbly legs against the tireless champion. Schmeling, with his superb stamina and bulldog patience is the last man Jack wants to meet.
 Tunney is out because he's out. What we mean is, Gene meant il when he said he was through for of late about the former cham pun COIIllhS pdSh, puL oOi JOd believe it. He's through.
 Primo-Jack a Natural
 With Schmeling and Tunney out of the picture, Camera is the sole hope of the million dollar gate Sharkey and Dempsey would draw g. pretty penny, cause the folks still pay to see Jack fight anybody but Camera vs the Dempsey man is the natural. And we think it is coming to pass. Which means we think Camera, with all his faults will take Sharkey's measure. Please don't ask us why we think such , think. Like you and you and you we know that Sharkey is the bet ter boxer, the harder hitter, ant has forgotten more about ringcraf than Camera will ever know. Jus the same it's our relief that Prim' will win. And as we said before puh-lease don't ask us why. l might embarras us both.
 His Legs Weak
 Having exhausted the grea northwest's bountiful supply of set ups, Dempsey plans to spend
 month or so in gold mine. Jac! says the mushing for gold vii build up his legs. Maybe it's hi legs he's thinking about, but it i our belief that his mine bushes is nothing more than a search fo bigger and better fossils to knock out on another exhibition tour'
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-09-22

This verdict was reached at a meeting of City Amateur league officials and team managers in the park department office last night. William J. Derwin, vice-president of the circuit. presided in the ab- sence of President Joe Brophy.
 Four Players Hurt
 The receipts of the contest will benefit Doc Gilmore, Tribune sec ond baseman who brike his collar bone, Perc Atwood and Joe Maine of the Prospect Chargers who were both decipients of split fingers and Harp" Dunn, Tommy second base man, who sprained a ligament in his leg.
 May Run Dance
 It is also probable that the league will sponsor a benefit dance. prob ably at St Joseph's hall, later for this cause. A committee was named last evening which included Matt Dunphy, Jimmy Lee, Johnny De- Vito and Kenny Ouimet.

Breaks for the As

It has been called to the atten- tion of this writer times without number that the As are a pretty good ball club but wouldn't get anywhere if they didn't "get the breaks" In July Mule Haas broke his wrist; in August Al Simmons had to take time out with an in- fected leg: Mickey Cochrane, suf- fering sinus trouble, started losing weight recently and had to go home for a rest; a blister on one of Lefty Groves pitching fingers broke the other day and he had to leave the game; George Earnshaw has been having serious trouble with his shoulder; Max Bishop was bruised sliding into a base; Jimmy Dykes had to hurry away to his dying mother; Bing Miller played for several days suffering a stiff neck; Jimmy Foxx twisted his an- kle and had to walk on crutches, and Joe Boley's legs have been giv- ing him fits. Otherwise the team has been getting every one of the breaks.

Uanna, halfback on last years team, has been disqualified because of poor marks. Al Howe. last seasons crack center Is also out because of scholastic difficulties. One of the greatest disappointments to the coaches Is the loss of Archibald. last years tackle. who broke his left wrist to-day while charging and is out the rest of the season.

MANY BIG LEAGUE MANAGER CHANGES
 ARE IMPENDING.
Max Carey Mentioned for Robins Pilot, While Howley May Relinquish DOnlineering Reds
By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Stan Correspondent

tOuUtu EFcSS StaM COEEeSpOn0eOtD
 The 1891 major league season will end on Sunday and there are several managers who are quite likely to be missing when the teams head south next spring.
 It seems certain that Uncle" Wilbert Robinson is doomed as manager of the Brooklyn Robins. but they have been trying to get Robbie out for many years and h. vent succeeded yet. Public opinion, however, appears to have turned against him and it will take a miracle for him to get a con- tract for the 1892 season. When the Robins got off to a slow start this season thousands of fans sign ed petition asking Robinson's re- moval but just about that time the club started a winning streak and Robbie was once more back in the good graces of the fans. Since then, however, the Robins have hit the dumps again.
 and Brooklyn outflelder, has been nAChkAotiCo S0tSIdI LlNtcS dS tl6 probable successor to Robinson. The status of the 16 major league managers appears to be di- Fixtures. Connie Mack, Athletics.
 John J. McGraw, Giants. Rogers, Hornsby, Cubs. Gabby Street, Cardinals. Joe Mccarthy, Yankees. Roger Peckinpaugh, Cleveland. William McKechnie, Braves.
 Reasonably Certain. Walter Johnson, Washington. Bill Killifer, Washington. Shano Collins, Red Sox. Burt Shotton, Phillies. Donie Bush, White Sox. Doubtful. Wilbert Robinson, Brooklyn, Bucky Harris, Detroit. Jewel Ems, Pittsburg.
 Dan Howley, Cincinnati.
 Despite his ups and downs with the Cubs. Rogers Hornsby will manage the team again next sea- son at a salary said to be $40,000. William Wrigley, who signs the pay checks, has implicit faith in Hornsby's ability to develop a win ner.
 Once during the season it seem- ed that Donie Bush would re sign as manager of the White Sox, but later developments indicate that he will stay at least another year. Although President Frank Navin has said that he doesn't blame Bucky Harris for the poor showing of the eDtroit Tigers, Harris may step down of his own accord.
 Handicapped by poor material Dan Howley hasn't been able to make any prgoress with the Reds, and he also may relniquish the post at his own choice.
