STOCKS FURRY, TRADING QUIET,
 N. '. EXCHANGE
Bonds Rebound Quickly American Securities
 Being Sought

NEW YORK, Sept g. Wall Street financial markets regained composure today.
 Stocks fluctuated uncertainty and trading was quiet after little furry at the opening this fore noon.
 Bonds rebounded rather briskly although d 0 m tics encountered some further liquidation. Share prices fell back from one to three points for many issues at the start but recovered during the mornings session and some gains were recorded.
 Issues off a point or two ln- cluded United States Steel, Allied Chemical, Anaconda, Stone-Web- ster, Southern Pacific, Eastman, and Union Pacific.
 International bankers say there is some buying of American securities for foreign accounts. The reaction of Great Britain's crisis proved less serious than ex- pected. Stocks oscillated over a comparatively narrow range and ended the day with a heavy tone.
 At the last of the days trad ing, public utilities were under heavy pressure.
 The normal functioning of the market was still prevented by the Governing Boards ban on short selling. The days turnover was about 2,250,000 shares.
 Alaska Juneau gained two points for time and closed one point above Mondays closing prices.
 American T e e phone and Tele- graph, North American, and Stan dard Gas lost from two to three points. Sterling exchange was quot ed at s4.l2, off about 20 cents.

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 22.-A mass movement declared never be- fore cqualled in the United States was completed yesterday when thousands of members of the Ann erican Legion moved into Detroit for their annual convention.
 Col. Frederick M. Alger, Detroit president of the Legion Conven- tion corporation, declared that the Detroit convention will bring the largest number of delegates in the history of the organization.
 Expect 100, 900 Visitors
 Due to the fact that the Legion membership in the past year has grown from 825,000 to over 1,O0O,- 900 and because of Detroit's central location he says an attendance oi at least 100000 is assured before the convention ends.
 Last years convention in Boston brought 80,000 delegates.
 Transportation agencies combin- ed to speed the arrival of the delegates who began pouring in last Saturday night.
 Scores of special trains and bus es brought Detroit-bound Legion naires. Parking space was arranged for thousands of automobiles.
 Thirty thousand delegates are sleeping in Pullman cars shunted into Detroit railroad yards.
 With the Legion throng came 400 bands and bugle corps which will have leading part in the parade to be held today.
 The opening meeting of the four day session was yesterday morning
 Ralph T. ONeil, National Com mander, and Col. Alger welcomed the Legion delegates, while Mrs. Robert Lincoln Hoyal, Douglas Arizona, national president of the Legion Auxiliary, made the address of welcome to the womens units. President Hoover unexpectedly ap- peared and made his address to the delegates attending the con- vention.
 Wet-Dry Issue Seen
 In addition to election of na- tional commander and choice of the 1882 convention city, chief prob lens of the business session this year are expected to center around a possible attempt to bring the prohibition question to the conven- tion floor and a discussion of the unemployment situation.
 Preliminary to the latter was the conference of governors, mayors and representatives of labor, capi- tai and industry which Command CT O'Neill called to meet in Wash ington before the Detroit sessions.
 From this gathering the Legion's unemployment commission planned to carry recommendations to the convention.
 To Detroit with the Legion came the 40 and S." an organization within the veterans membership which brought the official "4o Hommes ct 8 Cheveaux" box car presented to the Legion by the French government.

YANKEES SHOW
GREAT STRENGTH
in EARLY GAMES
BY DIXON STEWART
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, April II. U.P)-New
York's Yankees today held undis-
puted possession of the American
league lead, and metropolitan fans
now are convinced that the Yanks
will prove the outstanding dark
horse" of the season.
The current Yankees team Is n
much different aggregations than
the pepless 1890 edition which drop
ped its first six games and finished
the season 16 games behind first
place. True, the only important
change in personnel is the replace
ment of Bob Shawkey by Joe Nc
Carthy. but the dynamic new man.
ager has succeeded in changing the
mental attitude of the club, and has
a hustling team.
Neither the Yankees pitching nor
batting has been sensational in the
three victories TO date, but the team
has played heads up" pail and
taken advantage of every break.
Mccarthy is known as Il leader of
hard fighting teams and if the Yam
KEGS continue their present type of
play they are certain to be hard to
beat, especially when the pitching
and hitting starts TO click.
Herb Pennock, veteran of the
Yankees mound staff. turned in the
teams best pitching performance
of the year, when he let Boston
down with eight hits yesterday and
won his game, 2 to l. A triple by
Lou Gehrig scored the first New
York run and a wild throw to home
by Lisenbee with three on and one
out produced the winning tally in
the ninth.
Washington and Philadelphia,
preseason pennant favoriteS, con-
tinued their close competition yes
terday, with the Senators winning,
5 TO 4.
The st. Louis Browns dropped
from tie with the Yankees for first,
when they lost q l2-inning battle
to Detroit. to S.
Joe Vosmik, Cleveland sandlotter
and Clint Brown, veteran pitcher,
were the heroes of Cleveland's z TO
0 victory over Chicago in the other
American league game.
Boston's Braves continued as the
surprise team of the National
league, winning their third straight
from Brooklyn, to 4. and remain
ing in a tie with st. Louis for the
lead.
The ST. Louis Cardinals kept pace
by defeating Cincinnati, 6 to 3.
Rogers. Hornsby's Chicago Cubs
dropped from the unbeaten class,
when they lost a to decision to
Pittsburgh.
Clarence Mitchell, baseballs only
lefthanded spitballer, had one oil
his good days and pitched the New
York Giants to IA to victory over
Philadelphia.

liant streak of pitching started in

KNOCKDOWN AND
DRAC-OUT BOUT
DUE AT ARENA

Something of the old-time boxing
days, when fighters used to drag
themselves up from the floor and
| almost certain defeat, TO win by a
knockout. is expected at the Impe-
rial Valley arena tonight when
Sammy Aguirre and "Swede" Berg
lund meet in the l0-round main
event.
Berglund is a socker who usually
lays his man flat when he connects.
Sammy knows what it Is to be down
in the resin, but he also knows what
ii is TO get up from there and give
his opponent a little of the same
treatment, and make it stick.
Anyone who can floor Charlie
Cobb three times in the same fight
has plenty of stuff, and that is what
Berglund did Cobb beat him but
he had lodged rematch with Berg
lund ever since and wants no more
of the tough Swede.
Sammy is considerable puncher
himself. He nearly slaughtered AL
cante here this past winter and a
few weeks ago he took everything
that Herman Ritterhouse had and
then slipped him knockout.
When two hitters get mixing it
up anything may happen. Swede
has boasted that he can lick any
Mexican fighter who faces him and
that hasn't set any too we'll with
Sammy, who figures he must make
the Swede eat his words and hopes
to do so.
More fireworks are looked for in
the semi-final when Tony Chavez.
the slickest little boxer seen here in
many a moon, meets Salvadero Ro-
nero in the semi-final.
Tony made a big hit here last
week when he defeated Kid Ma
Mia, and no fighter has been given
q bigger hand leaving the arena than
the fans gave TO him. He is a great
crowd pleaser and the club directors
lost no time in signing him up for
another battle.
He meets tough medicine in Ro-
nero who licked Kid Pancho in San
Diego last week. Several months
ago Romero met Young David and
nearly had him knocked out before
he went down himself from an ava
lanche of blows.
French Boy Fighting
Kid Pancho, another boy who is
popular with Imperial Valley crowds,
will take on Louie Carpenter in the
six round special. Louie is a fast
stepping little French boy who is
planning to get some place in Cali
fornia boxing circles and is willing
to take fight any time any place
in order to build up a reputation.
frankie West showed what he can
do last week when he stood up un-
der a stiff bombardment in the first
round from Rafael De Lea only to
knock the latter out in the second
round. Tonight West is given
tougher work when he meets Jess
Mcclure of Los Angeles.
Fans may be interested in know
ing that Tony Chavez is a brother
of Benny Chavez who used TO be a
popular boxer here several years
ago. while West is brother of Billy
west, the Pittsburgh boy, who also
was a ring favorite here some three
or four years ago.
The first bout tonight will be
called at 9 o'clock with ladies ad-
mitted 10 the arena free and the
summer schedule Of prices prevail
ing.

Seattle Indians, 6 to 5.
The San Francisco Seals ap-
peared to be emerging from their
slump. They scored their first vic
tory over the Mission Reds during
the present series, 6 to 3, chiefly be-
cause Of Jimmy zinn's hurting.
The Missions found themselves
without the service of Manager
Wade Red Killefer today, with

being at least. Killefer, recovering
from a serious operation, submitted

Night Baseball
League Planned

Following on the heels of the great
success enjoyed by night football
here was an announcement today
of night baseball league, with the
opening game scheduled for April
81 on the Wilson school field.
Lights are now being installed on
the field, so that by the opening
date the diamond will be brilliantly
lighted. Formation of a night base
ball league, and drawing of a
schedule was decided upon recently.
Football on a lighted field proved
immensely popular here. 1t is the
idea Of sponsors of the night base
ball league that it, too, will prove
popular with fans.
Night baseball, they point out, has
almost every advantage over base
ball played in the afternoon. One
great advantage cited is the fact
that, playing at night. neither play
ers nor spectators will be subjected
to the heat Of the afternoon sun.
