Eckhardt Rivals
Shires as Brave

BY the Associated Press.
TALK about Boston Braves new
L comers and Art Shires imme-
diately comes to mind, but the
Braves picked up at least one other
youngster they think will add as
much, If not more. punch than the
great man himself.
He is Oscar Eckhardt, q big out
fielder purchased from the San
Francisco Missions of the Pacific
Coast League. Born In Yorktown.
Tex. in 1904. Eckhardt played ball
at Texas University and then with
Amarillo in 1928. He batted 1916
that year and 1854 with Seattle of
the Coast League in 1929. Back in
the Texas League with Beaumont
in 1880. he amassed an average of
.379. That took him back to the
Coast League with the Missions and
he responded with a mark of 1863
If he can come within 40 points of
that average with the Braves he'll
be plenty useful.
He is a right handed batsman,
six feet one inch tall and weigh
ing 400 pounds.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 16.-The
stock market picked up the advance
again today after stubbornly resisting
further selling pressure during tie first
hour or two.
Many leading issues converted early
declines of a dollar or two into net
gains of larger proportions and trading

feature was the speculative interest
taken in number of low-priced stocks.

bought. An opening transaction involv-
ing block OF 5000 shares was followed
by other sizeable purchases, which car

United Aircraft, Kroger, Alaska Juneau

Announcement of an increase of !.

failed to attract particular buying to

ture. United States Steel, Santa Fe,
American Telephone and Western Un-
ion turned thei early losses into
moderate gains. International Business
Machine was up around 4 points.
Unwelccme as the prospect of higher
taxes might be, the announcement from
Washington that additional increases

When Pam brought home her report card it was accompanied by a note from the teacher. My dear Mrs Lacey 1t ran, your daughter Pamela has made such @ fine rec ord in school this year that we think 1t wise for her to skip a grade and start the midyear with the class ahead of her. She learns easily; so easily In fact, that she is bored during most of the school day. Being bored, she gets into mischief or else wastes her time. If she had to work harder to keep up with her school mates we be- lieve she would have more incen- tive to study. May we count on your acquiescence? I will be glad to talk with you or MT Lacey at any time after school hours. Sim cerely yours. Edith Marbury."
 Fortunately Pam did not know what message was in the note and equally fortunately Mrs Lacey did not tell her,
