NICK TRON SKY
OUT AS No. |
By GINO SINH

George L. 1Semann, NaClona!
Duckpin Bowling Congress secre
tary, isn't sparing the horses in
his drive to standardiZe the duck
pin game.
Because of this. Nick Tronsky
recognized far and wide as Uncle
Sans leading duckpin-walloper
will again fail to gain official
recognition as such, the No. l ma
tional ranking.
Last year Nick missed out or
the coveted honor because he had
no league averages to his credit
This year he has been whanging
the diminutive NAPLES at a ter
rifle 1918 clip for 81 games in
the Connecticut State League but
as far as the N. D. B. c. is con.
cerned, Nicholas has no more
league averages than a jack rab
bit when it comes to this rating
business. The foul line rule, the
most important rule on the N. D.
B. C. books, was not enforced, SO
Nick's averages will have to be
ignored.
Special Event Average
Tronsky's special event averages
are far above those of his nearest
rivals, having spilled the pins at
124 pace in 125 games when
the "heavy sugar" was on the
line. Besides he has established
several records which appear to
have considerable degree of per-
manency on the books. But
leagues have a 80 per cent weight
when the boys get together to
talk rankings.
It is a real shame, too, for
Nick, a stickler for putting the
game on a high standard and in
strumental in forming the Con-
necticut State League, had to
acquiese to the will of other bowl
ers to forego strict enforcement OF
the foul line. this year because
many of the maple-Spillers had
not accustomed themselves to it.
And so, Nick remains the un-
crowned king. However, he will
again head the honorary list.
The battle for honors again
RACES between Ollie Pacini, Of
Washington, present No. / rank
ing bowler, and Ray Barnes
angular Baltimorean. The COM
mittee is awaiting final averages
before announcing it's decision.
Pacini Sports 122 Pace
Pacini has finished with a four
league average around 1913 for
some 200 games. He has turned
in 1913 averages in the Temple
and Holy Name Leagues, and has
1875 in the National Capital and
121 in the District League.
The italian maestro had to
shoot on eight different alleys
in compiling his record.
Barnes has been doing better
than Pacini in special events.
Lorraine GULL again is miles
ahead Of her nearest feminine
rivals for the No. ! National
ranking.

 Still al State

Probably the most important in- animate actor ever cast for Q mo- ton picture is the life-size nude statue of Mnrienc Dietrich, which plays fully as important a role in the German stars newest Para mount picture, The Song of Songs" as though 1t were one of the principal actors of the cast.

 Miss Dietrich paid numerous visits to Scarpitta's studio in ad. vance of the picture so that he could outlines the classic Dietrich figure. The task occupied over i've weeks of his time.
 Never before, 1t, is said. has q studio engaged . truly noted artist to create such e statue or painting for film purposes.

An ogre-like Baron falls in love with the statue. His desire to possess the original, his ultimate marriage to Miss Dietrich, and the heartache and tragedy that follow before she eventually finds lasting happiness ali are caused by the statue.

BY ELMER C.. WALZER United Press Financial Efiltorl

New York, Dec. 19.-UP).- Movements on the stock exchange today were narrow and uninterest- ing with volume barely reaching the million share mark.
 Active stocks moved over a small arc, but thin markets developed in some of the preferred issues and on Q few sales they dropped sharp ly. Certainteed preferred. for ex- ample, broke more than 50 per cent from a previous close of 30 to 13, while Gotham Silk Hosiery pre- ferred was down points at 59.
 There were but few instances of declines of more than a point in the main list. Hercules Powder, an exception, was forced down to a new low for the year at 26 1-8 off 2 Is points. Recessions of a point or so were noted in General Foods, Lambert. Pathe A, Pullman, Sea- board Oil and U. S. Smelting.
 A number of issues worked slightly higher, including steel shares, Celanese, Tobaccos Noranda Mines, Sears-Roebuck, and Atlass Powder. Railroad share were steady around the previous close. Utilities were mixed featured by firmness in traction shares.
 The traction group was the best behaved of any on the big board but volume there also was light. Interborough Rapid Transit made a new high for year and others mounted fractions to points, holding a fair amount of the gain.

Wool Market

Boston, Dec. -(UP)-Wool was selling more freely in the Bos- ton market today. Buyers were taking fleece wools in larger vol tune than of late. Woolen mills. which have been practically out of the market for some time, were back again, buying secured med ium pulled wools.
 Ohio Delaine and similar fine combing wools sold at 35-36 cents pound in the grease, with most sellers asking 37; half-blood was very quiet at 36-37; three-eighths was quoted at 43; and sales of quarter-blood were made both at Al and AZ. Territory strictly staple fine combing wools were quoted at 86-88, with observers stating that not more than 86 was being ob- tatned; half-blood was quoted at 83-S5; three-eights, S1-83; and blood, ,73-75.
 The U. s. Agriculture Depart ment said: "A fair volume of Ohio fleece wool has recently been sold at very firm prices. Fine Ohio De- laine has sold at 35-36 cents in the grease, mostly at the higher figure for good lots. Strictly com ping ,58s, 3-S blood, Ohio feeces have brought 43 cents in the grease for choice lots. There has been some demand for strictly conlbing ASS, Sos, IA blood fleeces at 41-42 cents in the grease. Demand is not very heavy on any oft hese lines, but several houses have received a share of the business"

Gold Status Pleases

Washington, Dec 19.-(UP)-An official expression of satisfaction by Secretary of the Treasury Morgeh- thau over the effect of the goy- ernment's gold operations today in dicated continuation of the admin istration's experiment. to depreciafe the dollar to approximately 50. per cent of it's gold value.
 Disregarding fresh criticism from the brookings institution and the National Economy league, Morgen- thau declared that the gold pur- chases at progressively higher lev els had made satisfactory progress toward the objective of raising commodity prices.
 He cited an index of commodity prices showing they had risen from 100 on October 21, to 105R, last Saturday, a percentage of 51z per cent. In that period the price of gold was raised 16 per cent. Nor genthau attributed the commodity rise primarily to the old rise, and appeared unworried over the dis crepancy in the percentages, which was cited in a report from the Brookings institution as conclusive that there was no link between the gold and commodity level.
 The Reconstruction Finance cor poration has bought approximately $35,000,000 worth of gold abroad. and 469,491 ounces of newly-mined domestic gold for $15, ,6S2,O ,O0e. The average price of the domestic pur- chases was $33.39 an ounce, com pared to yesterdays open market bid of $34.06, and a price abroad of $32.50. Thus should the REC liquidate its holdings at the dom estic bid price, it would net a profit of $S0S,S63.46, but would suffer a loss if 1t sol dits gold hold ings in the world market.

Atlas Tack Stock

Boston, Dec 19-(U.P. - h. vestigation of sales of stock of Att las Tack Corporation of Fairhaven will be made by Attorney-General Joseph E. Warner if q complaint is filed at his office, he said to-day.
 No complaint, however, has as yet been received by the attorney general. It Is unlikely that any complaint would be received from John C.. Hull. director of the state sale of securities division, in view of his statement to-day that he is without Jurisdiction because the stock is listed on the Boston stock exchange and is thereby exempt from the provisions of the act.
 "All complaipts received at this office are investigated" Warner de- clared in reply to query as to what action would be taken on complaint against sales of Atlas Tack. He indicated that if a com plaint were received an investiga- tion would be launched and the evidence obtained turned over to the district attorney for final ac- ton.
 Listed at $1.50 on the New York stock exchange early this year, Att las stock climbed to $34.75 last Friday, dropped to $11.50 Satur- day, and closed at $14.50 yester- day. $
