 He may not be able to keep up the pace but Porter started off the new year with string of victories calculated to challenge Westrope's mark. The serious youngster rode AZ winners in January and began the short month of February with four successive victories at Hialeah.
 Around the stables young Porter is considered a thorough horse man, level-headed and with build that gives him few worries about his weight. He is small-boned and doesn't take on poundage readily, as Mills did He has the confidence of Hirsch Jacobs, the trainer who has a reputation for changing rid CTS oftener than any rival handler of horses, with the result that Earl is getting the consistent nod from his mentor.

COMEBACK OF A BOOK

One more sign of returning bet ter times will be the revival of baseball's famous Little Red Book this year, the suspension of which two years ago added gray hairs to the boys who kept track of the major league proceedings and rec ord performances
 Thanks to the philanthropic spirit of John Arnold Heydler, president of the National League who dug into his own pocket to make the job possible this year, the Little Red Book" will be brought up to date by Charles D. White, the sta- tistician who labored for years to double-check, revise and standard ize baseball records over a 50-year period. Over period of years, White has corresponded with tele- graph operators in Montana, cow punchers in Texas, and perhaps, even oracles in Delphi to straighten out moot points in the old-time box scores and records.

QUINTETS TIED
 THREE WAYS IN
 CHAMPIONSHIP
Bremen, DeM olays and George Brothers to Start
 Playoff Friday Night
It's all over but the playoffl

It's all over but the playoff!
 Which is just another way of saying the favorite teams won in the basketball games last night. And there's a three-way tie.
 Oh, and by the way, the Juneau Bremen will play the High School five as the preliminary to the De Molay- George Brothers fracas on Friday night. They got the break by drawing bye after the close of the games last night and are assured of a place in the finals, meeting the winner of the De Molay- George Brothers battle next Tuesday for the Channel Cham pionship.
 The curtain raiser was won last night by the Bremen with score of 57 to 29. The United Meat quintet was on the short end of the score, and, with the exception of few flashes, they deserved it. as they were outplayed nearly all the way through by the Firemen.
 In the second game the YP.A.C. team started out like whirlwind and finished the same way-that is blew itself out. The score was De Molay 60, YP.A.C. 21. The game, however, was faster than the score would indicate, as the Indians had plenty of shots at the baskets, both field and foul, but showed poor marksmanship. The DeMolay bas ketshooters, on the other hand made the most of their opportuni- ties and sunk shot after shot all through the game.

STILL IN THE AIR

Youth and endurance finally pre- vailed in the cross-country tennis tour of g year old Ellsworth Vines and 41 year old Bill Tilden, plus a neat profit to all concerned and a good build-up for the fortheom- ing international series with the French professionals, Henri Cochet and Martin Plaa.
 Vines demonstrated he has the power to cope with the old mas ter's skill and tactical resources. This was, in way, not so sur prising as the fact that even at the end of the long trail, Tilden still had enough stuff to take a record 23-21 set from the Californian in a five-set match. Then, too, Big Bill turned an ankle in one of their contests on the coast and thus leaves open the argument as to individual superiority for the time being, even though Vines romped off with eight out of 13 decisions.

Produce Markets
CHICAGO

Chicago, May l4.-(ReButter was
weak in tone Monday. Poultry was
steady and eggs were unsettled.
Traders said that temporarily the
situation In butter is unsatisfactory.
The daily clearance of receipts has
been at prices relatively above earlier
season expectations. The prolonged
drought has materially intefered with
output. Traders said surplus supplies
are at minimum. which usually is
reflected in well-balanced large
market supply and demand conditions.
Despite presence Of bullish aspects Of
the market, the fact that sentiment
has been nodded by weather reflects
the nervousness which dominates
trade. observers held.
Volume of business in eggs recently
has reflected desire on the part Of
buyers to wait out irregularities caused
by sharply changed quality conditions

Dearth Of Moisture
Shown by Records

North Dakota's Moisture defici-
ency for the last five years aver
ages 1884 inches below normal,
according to O. w. Roberts. fed
eral meteorologist here.
The deficiencies ranged from
slightly over one to more than
IS inches. calculated on normal
rainfall figures.
The compilation was m ade
from readings at e5 North Dakota
stations. with only two points,
Beach and Bowman. reporting
average rainfall or better for five
years. Beach received ITS inch
above average. and Bowman 1911
inches more than average precipi-
tation.
Bowman Is the only weather
station reporting better than
average rainfall for the first four
months Of this year, the tabula-
ton shows. Bowman's average
was .06-inch above normal.
The eastern part Of the state
has received more rain than the
western sections, but q larger de-
ficiency Is shown n eastern sta
lions because the annual average
rainfall y heaviest IN that area.

STOCKS RALLY AFTER
POOR START; EARLY
LOSSES CANCELLED
Some Shares Close With Gains:

Improvement

New York, May l4.-(P)-After o
ragged and desultory performance
Monday, stocks staged final rally
which enabled a number Of them to
cancel earlier losses Of / to 2 or more
points and emerge with moderate
gains. The recovery conceded with
some short covering and improvement
in grains. The close was irregular.
Transfers Appropriated 1900 900
shares.
Equities improved mildly after the
opening, but were subjected to sharp
selling pressure around noon when
the ticker tape got behind floor
transactions and a number Of the
leaders touched new lows for the
year or longer. The utilities were
resistant most of the day.
Wheat dropped more than 2 cents
a bushel at one time on rain FORE
casts and moisture reports In some OF
the dry crop districts. It pared these
losses near the end Of trading and
other cereals did better. Cotton, sill
yer and rubber were somewhat easy.
Bonds were trifle heavy. especially

change rates were little changed.
