FRANK SPEERS

Science can always master brute
strength and this was clear to
local wrestling fans today by vir-
tue of Dick Shikat's smashing vic
tory over Frank Speers in the
headline match of the closing in
door season at the Washington
Auditorium last night. Approx
inately 1000 customers saw Shikat
put away Speers with a body slam
in 3212 minlVes.
Speers, the central figure in a
near-riot at Boiling Field last
summer, was the terror of old.
He punched and clawed are'.
when tired of cutting Shikat,
turned his efforts to Referee
Benny Bortnick. The form e r
Georgia Tech gridder even went
SO far as to make threatening
motions to ringside fans.
In the long run, however, the
superior skill of Shikat asserted
itself and the German dismissed
his rough foe in the manner a
mother spanks an ill-tempered
child.
Everett Marshall pinned Karl
Davis with a body slam in IA

George Zaharias flopped Eli
Fischer with a body slam in 10

Three visiting craft in port in
Washington Channel are the Wild
Duck, the Skylark III and the
Irene II. The former awaits her
owner. The second is from Es-
Sington and chartered for a
months cruise. The third is in
port from a cruise from Miami
after Stop-overs at Daytona
Beach, Fla, Georgetown, S. c.,
and Wilmington.
Potomac River Power Squadron,
unit of the U. S. Power Squad
rons, Inc, continues its good work
and managed to attract the atten-
ton of between 100 and 1875 peo.
pie who attended the recent
classes in Central High School.
Striving to establish a high
standard of skill in handling and
navigation of power boats; to en-
courage the study of the science
of navigation; and to cooperate
with the agencies of the United
States Government charged with
the enforcement of the laws and
regulations relating to navigation,
are the objective of the squadron.
Well Attended
Eight classes were held, at
tended by an average of between
100 and 1875, from February %

LEAGUE
BOXMEN HURL
FOR POLICE
BY SID KATZNELL

ny SID hA1ZNELL
Two former big league pitchers
toll for the Metropolitan Police
Department baseball team in
the Industrial wheel.
They are none other than
Frank Watt, ex-Philadelphia
National League hurler, and
Larry Boerner, former Boston
Red Sox moundsman. Both OF
these boxmen pitched for local
sandlot teams before going to
the big leagues.
Besides these star FINGERS, the
Police possess another top
notcher in wild" Bill Payne,
former Western High and ALI
High boXman.
The "Lawmen," who are lead
ing the Industrial loop with one
victory and no losses, will at
tempt to keep up their good
work when they mingle with the
Blue Ribbons today at o'clock
on the South Ellipse. The Rib
bons plan to send Lefty" Frank
Carter against the Cops, while
the latter will probably use
Payne.
Iron Works Score
When the Gichner's Iron Works
baseball team defeated the Dixie
Pigs in their Industrial League
game yesterday, 81, the Iron
men challenged the Pigs for
their sandlot supremacy. The
Pigs won the league champion
ship and we're considered one OF
the finest teams in the city
last year.
Yesterday the Pigs scored their
lone tally in the initial frame,
but thereafter were unable to
solve the masterful pitching Of
that old reliable Lefty" Stevens.
In fact they were limited to
three bingles by Stevens during
the entire proceedings. The
Ironmen collected is hits off the
offerings of Babe Clapper, former
G. w. athlete. Coker, of the
winners, banged out a tremen-
dous homer with two men on
the bases.
The Ironmen play two strong
opponents over this weekend.
Tomorrow they oppose the Be-
thesda Firemen on the latter's
diamond, while Sunday the
Damascus diamonderS will be
tackled on their field. Week
end games are being scheduled
at West 2420 by Henry Gichner.
BalIston Firemen Play
Charlie Deuter1nan will send
his Ballston Firemen against the
Chevy Chase Grays, Sunday at
3 o'clock on the new Fire De-
partment Field, Wilson Boule-
ward, Ballston, Va. "Specs"
Meadows will toss 'em for the
Grays, while Jimmie Pennifield
will work for the Fire-eaters.
Lem Owens will roam center
field for the Ballston aggrega-
ton.
Three other games are card
ed in the weekday circuits today
that should be interesting.
G. P. o. meets Bureau of In
veStigation in the Departmental
organization on the East dia-
1nond; Mt. Vernon collides with
Calvary Baptists in the George
town Church loop on the North
field, while Acacia will battle
the C. & P. Telephone nine in
the National Capital outfit on
the West Ellipse. All these strug-
giles will start at 5 o'clock.

The Majestics will meet the
White Oak nine Sunday in a
double-header at Fredericksburg,

Since visiting craft add an
other $1,765,000 to the foregoing
figure, the total value of craft
in this port runs close to $3,-
100000.
Naturally, cruisers top the list
of popular craft, there being no
less than 321 of them.
Speed Boats Popular
Speed boats seem to be popular
also. Exclusive of new ones of
1888, there appear to be II Of
them now in port.
About a dozen SloopS call
Washington their home port.
From the survey, one gains the
impression that close to 450 craft
will be in the dress parade. or
squadron review, which on June
4 will mark the official opening
of the Washington yachting and
boating season. This banner
event is expected to draw more
than 100000 spectators.
Those people who cant see
anything" to the 132-mile out
board marathon from Albany to
New York should have read ac-
counts of the race. The doubling
ones would have discovered that
driving in the race is anything
but a "Sissie" proposition.
Must Stand Buffeting
The race is a contest in which
only those willing to stand n
whole lot of buffeting care to
participate. Only % of the 81
outboards which started the race
crossed the finish line.
The best actual time was made
by John G. Plunkett, of Brooklyn,
N. Y, who covered the 132-mile
distance in 3 hours, minutes
and 26 and a fraction seconds, or
at a rate of 43.5 miles per hour,
as against an average speed of
AS miles per hour made in 1892
by Charles Cabot, of New Haven,
Conn.
Winners were j. C. Waller, Of
Syracuse, N. Y, in Class A open,
whose time was 4:07:11 and q
fraction; Class B open, George
Waller of New Rochelle, 3:5O:O6;
Class C l, amateur, Roy Straley
of Buffalo, N. Y, and Class C
2, professional, Bill Feldhusen of
Staten Island, N. Y, 1882, the
last being the big event. In Class
F l, John G.. Plunkett of Brook
lyn won, while in Class F 2, F. O..
HauSer took first laurelS, and in
the more comfortable displace-
ment craft, Chotsie V, piloted
by Mrs. Paul Burnham, was the
winner, but not without having
run into her share of mishaps.
Stuffs Puncture
When off Poughkeepsie Chotsie
~ encountered a formidable piece
of driftWood which punctured the
frail hull and but for Mr.. Burn
hams worming his way up un-
der the forward decking and
stuffing the puncture with a
sweater, that boat never would
have crossed the finish line. II
happened that she was third.
This is the first year in which
handicapping has been used, and
the results speak well for the cal
culationS of Comdr. Charles F..
Chapman, who worked them out.
The first six boats to cross the
finish line represented classes C,
A, A, C, B and F., while the sec
ond six were B, F, C, B, B and C.
The handicap also had the effect
of lessening the number of en-
tries to some extent, a few drivers
not caring to take any chances
with handicaps.

Still Sharper Curb
On Margins Likely
For Stock Market

BY the Associated Press.
Indications have been given in WASH
ington that the New York Stock Ex-
change will step up margin require
ments sharply to Illustrate threatened
forced reforms by Congress at its, next
session.
The recent drop in stock prices pro-
duced rumblings on Capitol Hill that
congressional steps were necessary and
would be taken to prevent q recurrence.
It is understood that the exchanges
reaction to this was the realization
that it could itself apply remedial
measures.
These measures, It Is understood, will
take the form Of applying curb to the
public's tendency to overtrade through
the medium Of making margin require
ments 20 steep rs to discourage pyra-

make It impossible for pools to unload

Further Advance Reported for
Week Despite Moderate Decline
in Production Figures.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, August 11.-while auto
mobile production during the current
week has shown a moderate decline.
says Grams Automotive Reports, retail
sales showed another surprising ad-
vance. Used car sales also showed
another gain. the reports say, "indicat-
ing significant rise In purchasing
power"
An aggregate production for August
Of 225 900 units Is indicated.
OF truck sales and production, the
analysis says:
According to the current trend, an
approximate total of $1,000 units in
new commercial car registrations will
be recorded for August, an increase of
about 1000 units, or per cent over
July, and about $4,000 units, or lat
per cent over the August, 1882, volume.
I'm contrast to the passenger car
field, the truck market has shown no
inclination to yield to seasonal in
fiuences. The outlook is bright for sub
stantial increases in volume during the

The market labored under the handi-

the weakness in commodities, particu-

Volume was low all day and specu-

The dollar hardly stirred in terms oil

American W0olen Strong.
Two groups were the leaders in the
early trading, the merchandising shares
and the railway equipment issues For
the former 1t was said that increased
wages under the N. r. A. would mean
larger retail sales and with the regard
to the Ia ter the report was that the
Government would enable the railroads
to inaugurate an equipment-buying
campaign on a large scale.
Sears-Roebuck and Montgomery

actively bought among store stocks. In
the equipments Baldwin, American Lo-

that the company had prof1ted by ap-
probation of inventories, was back of
the buying.

The railroad shares came to the frcnt
a little later. Lackawanna. Chesapeake
Corporation, Atchison and Southern
Pacific gained more or less.
Trading in this part of the list, as
well as in the market as a whole, was
in small volume. The ticker came to
standstill at intervals and there was
general absence of speculative in
terest.
Nevertheless, 1t seemed to be the
opinion that profits on the upside were
more probable than on the decline.
The same conclusion could be drawn
from the overnight showing made by
the statistics on the short account,
which is currently the lowest since the
Exchange began giving out the figures.

was paid to the irregularity in COM

NATIONAL WEALTH
|. EXPECTED TO RISE
Reversal in Downward Trend
of Last Four Years
Is Predicted.
BY CHAS. r. SHAEFFER,
Associated Press Business Writer.

The total national wealth of the
United States is expected in Govern
ment circles to turn upward during
1888 arresting downward trend which
has continued uninterruptedly since
1929
Basis for this. belief is the relation
ship that national wealth has always
borne to the scale Of price levels. Charts
prepared from various estimates, In
cluding an official one by the Bureau Of
the Census, reveal that national wealth
very closely parallels price levels.
The last estimate Of national wealth
by the National Industrial Conference
Board placed the total at $247 800, ,000,-
600 at the end of 1882, the lowest re-
cent level since 1915, when the boards
est official estimate by the Census Bu-
reau was for 1922, which placed the
total at 1921, ,ooo. 600 900, or $2,s1s per
capita.
The list Of items entering into a ma
ttonal inventory consists of real estate
and the equipment, including buildings,
or farms, mines, factories, other buSi-
ness organizations, and home In other
words, the stock Of durable goods in
existence plus an allowance for the
current stock of non-durable goods.

Real estate and its improvements
occupy the first place in Importance,
constituting more than half the total.
The primary source of information re-
gardtng the value of real estate Is its
assessment for taxation. These assess
ments usually fall below real value Of
the property, and the reported figures
are augmented by percentages varying
In different parts Of the country, and
which represent the best local judg.
