Support Needed IF Market
Is to Resume Advance

to the rest Of the market, but
the belief is that the cream of
the move is off here.
Big Play Expected
The growing speculative belief
is that the next big play is in
the wheat stocks, anyway. The
rails so far have had the edge.
Rumors that American Can
would pare the 81 dividend to-
day added to the Streets uncer-
tainty.
Interests close to Can doubt
that the dividend will be cut. The
81 extra paid in the last two years
is generally considered as good as
gone. There is the Allied Chem
ical dividend meeting today also.
Allied is expected to dip into its
surplus again and maintain the
Sc rate.
Much Short Selling
There was quite a good deal of
professional short selling yester-
day. Floor traders aren't bearish,
but feel simply that if stocks
won't go up they should go down.
The spread of gasoline price
cutting in the East weakens the
position of the oils further. Ac-
ton of the group indicates it Is
out of the speculative limelighG
anyway.

By WALL STREET SFEC1A1Oh
NEW YORK, Sept. q QN.S0
The market was without incen-
tive yesterday and there was
enough stock for sale to put it
lower.
A good deal of the selling was
professional, accompanied by ru-
mors of this and that. Neither
commodities nor bonds provided
anything to offset these, and the
rails weighed the market down
with a poor performance. Stocks
look lower and should meet sup
port soon if the advance is to
be resumed.
Wheat Now King
The burning question now is
wheat and whether grain prices
can be put up. October is only
a few days away, and the word
for weeks has been that october
would see big markets in wheat
and corn.
A leading Chicago speculator is
understood to be quite bullish on
wheat. Added to this is the fact
hedging will be at a minimum
in a few days. Action of the
rails suggests that it would be
well to tighten up in this group
on any further bulge.
The rails probably will be used
from time to time to give body

Europe Buys More
Radios in America

In each of the past years the
value of radio exports was more
than double that of any year
prior to 1929. American sets have
been in rapidly growing demand in
Europe, following nearly a decade
of American concentration on less
competitive markets.
Vigorous attempts to curtail
American competition, therefore,
were inevitable. Restrictions have
been based largely on the enforce
ment of patent rights by Euro

Though Harris has never done
any actual cavorting in the in
field before, Johnson believes
that he could take care of third
base after a little drilling.
Will Be Surprised
When Dave checks in he'll find
to his surprise that third base
will be his post during the drills
instead of the outfield. Harris,
kept from reporting last Sunday
because of his wife's illness, is
looked for any DAY now.
'1 might try Dave in the in
field" says johnson, because
it looks as if we're not going
to get any more infielderS real
soon. Johnnie Kerr is here
and able to play any position,
it is true. But he can't hold
them all down if CrOnin,
Bluege or Myer get hurt at
the same time. Harris used
to clown around third base
last year during practice be-
fore game times. have an
idea that he might be able to
play a fair third base i'll an
emergency or until Griff can
get another man."
Harris will get plenty of prac-
tice as soon as he reports. The
19O-pound North Carolinian no
doubt will welcome the proposed
trial as he is the type of player
who thinks he can do ANYTHING
whether it's playing the outfleld'
infield, pitch, hit, or CLIMB the
Washington Monument.
Dave had peculiar year during
1881 with the fail. In the first
part of the campaign he went
like house afire, but his work
soon cooled off until it was only
in extreme necessity that Man
ager johnson used him at all in
the outfield.

Casts an Eagle Eye

But Mr.. Pickens detected the
flaw the very first night he set
a foot therein and he decided
that what Maryland University
needed more than anything else
was a protecting drop to keep
out the gaze of those who had
not paid and who probably had
no intention of paying.
In time, of course, this gift
will be known as the Champ
Pickens Memorial Curtain, and
the least it ought to get him is
q chair in athletics such as
are held by Curley Byrd, Burt
Shipley and Navy Bill Hotel.
In fact the PickenS curtain,
according to a memorandum
we have from him, came very
near being a memorial affair as
early as last week, when he
was suddenly rushed to the
hospital with an ailment for
which the medicos were con-
Slderlng operating as recently as
Friday night.
But the Champ beat 'em to
the punch and got well and so
the University of Maryland's
latest piece of canvas drapery
is just the plain Pickens BIZ

phrase the word memorial"
may be inserted at the proper

Pirates May Cross Up Baseball Prophet!
B owie Racing
Plant to Get
New Fence

Horses, jockeys and pedestrians
will receive more protection at
Bowie this year, according to Joe
Boyle, president Of the plant.
The outer rail and posts form
ing the track from the grand.
stand for 1000 feet going toward
the lower bend will be removed
and replaced by a wire mesh
fence.
The installation of this fence
will prevent paper from blowing
across the track, stop dogs from
running from the outside to the
infield.
Would Confine Pedestrians
Papers and dogs have made
more than one animal shy and
throw his jockey.
This improvement also will
prevent pedestrians from lodging
beneath the fence around the
quarter-pole and using the inside
for a walk to the clubhouse. This
has been dangerous, especially
when horses are being warmed
up. In the future, particularly
on big days, patrons of Bowie
will have to enter the inclosure
in the regular manner.
Another improvement that will
meet with the approval of horse
men and motorists will be the in
stallation of arc lights and park
ing facilities. The lights will
burn all night, beginning several
days before the meet and lasting
several days after.
Parking Space Arranged
All the parking ground has
been graveled and arranged al
phabetically. This will enable
motorists to locate their machines
by remembering the letter of the
alphabet.
An improvement also will be
noted in the clubhouse and
grandStand. The tier of boxes
on the back promenade has been
removed.
Crowding at the selling booths
in the upper part of the club
house also is expected to be
eliminated. The rail along the
incline from the main promenade
to the booths will be removed and
the incline of concrete extended
to the left.

TONIGHT

CHICAGO, March 1.-THE an

field and track championships,
which open here tonight, are ex-
pected to develop into a dual con-
test between Michigan and In
diana for first honors. Indiana
ran away with a five-school meet
last week and Michigan made a
shambles out of contest with
Ohio State and Illinois.
Trials in the 60-yard dash, the
hurdles, the quarter and half mile
and the mile are on tonight's
roster. The meet will be con-
cluded tomorrow.
Jack Keller, almost a certain
Olympic contestant, will doff his
warm-ups tonight when competi-
tors in the high hurdles event are
called to the mark. The Ohio
State star topped the timbers in
14.3 last year, but was deprived of
a world mark because he knocked
down one hurdle.

PASO ROBLES, Calf, March
11.-Give the Pirates "break" or
two and the revamped club, under
George Gibson, is likely to cross
up the prophets in the coming
National League campaign.
The team is generally regarded
as a second division entry, but it
should be remembered that in

Gibby. however, has to produce
a first-claSs catcher very shortly,
as the staff at present is made up
of three youngsterS-Hal Finney,
Bill Brenzel and Earl Grace.
OCherS Impressive
The remaining departments of
the club are impressive. The
BuccoS sport a fine slab staff.
The infield has a solid founda-
ton in Traynor and Thevenow,
and there is much hope for Yuhr,
Piet and Vaughn. The outfield,
Gbby will tell yoL, is second to
none in baseball.
Finney and Brenzel, the right

sion, are youngsters loaded with
ginger. Finney made a big hit
in his few games as 9 Pirate last
year, while Brenzel, catching for
the San Francisco Missions, of
the Pacific Coast League, was a
standout.
Gibson holds a feeling of COM
fort as he ponders his pitchers.
And it would seem that a club
which can call upon Meme,
Kremer. French. Bramr, HarriJ,
Spencer, SwetoniC and several
promising rockies is in a fair way
to make trouble for all rivals,
including the flag contenders.
Works On Infield

is the top so far as third base.

Thevenow is one of the finest

he is apt to play regularly, al
