NEW YORK, April 6.-Business
prospects for the second quarter gem
orally are conceded to be potentially
capable Of producing the most salts
factory results for any second quar-
ter in four years." Dun & Bradstreet
said today.
The expected slackening in the pace
which retail buying set before Easter
has not yet appeared, the agency re-
ported. Although sales Of some ap-
parel lines have receded this week
from the extraordinarily high totals"
of the preceding week, buying of furni-
ture, housewares, electric refriserators
and rugs increased by q wide per-
centage.
"Sales Of mems and women's wear
ing apparel, however, still are In the
lead. while there has been no diminu-
ton in the call for dry goods. Sales
OF hardware, paints, gardening tools
and seeds show every indication OF
outdistancing Spring figures for the
last three years and provide conclusive
proof Of reawakened interest in the
home and garden"
Because so much of "the really
needed Spring merchandise yet u to
be acquired the review stated, no
interruption to the present trend ap-
pears in prospect for the current
month. Besides, any seasonal re-
cession probably will be buoyed by
the increasing number profiting from
the pay rises granted by industrial and

yesterday to 400 members of the At

morrow:
Business on Summer street this
week has been exceedingly slow. De-
mand has favored the low-grade
woolen wools and wastes, where sales
have been effected at all. Prices are
barely steady.
Prices in the country have ruled
somewhat lower, especially in the

The manufacturing outlook is yery
obscure at the moment. Manufac-

Race Plans Set
Now, as to the speedboat races
tomorrow and Saturday, nothing
has been left undone to make
them a huge success.
The starting hour for the first
event is IL noon. 1t will send B
class amateur cupboard boats into
action in their first heat. From
this start until the finish of the
races each day, including the ALI
Washington Sweepstake race, the
Cruiser Chance event, the race for
the Presidents Cup, the American
speedboat championship event
(the William Randolph Hearst
Trophy going to the winner in
this race) and the ladies' free-for-
all, the historic old Potomac River
will be a sight seldom seen by fans
following water events.
In connection with these speed
boat events, Jack A. Anadale, Off.

The score fairly well indicates
the relative merits of the team,
if not for the entire series, then
for yesterday at least. Some one,
however, forgot to tell the Mexi-
cans that, for today they had not
yet given up hope.
"Our team work today was
terrible" one Of the Mexican
officers said following the game.
mo one ever was at the right
place at the right time. But,
never mind, we'll make it hot

And the United States players,
while jubilant over their convinc.
ing victory in the opener, are by
no means conceding themselves
the series.
Played in Streaks
They realize that the flashes
Of fine play all too infrequently
revealed by the Mexicans to make
a close game are quite likely to
occur often, if not steadily, in
the next two games. For when
the invaders uncorked a bit of
their fire, a score was almost
certain to result.
Such was the case in the sec
ond chukker. Their early ner-
vouSness gone and their conf
dence restored by a tied score,
the Mexicans unleashed an Of

dynamic, that the United States

ponies outspeeded. it's men out
generated. A 2-1 lead was the
product of this outburst, and it
was only by a matter of inches
that it wasn't 81.
Yet, again in the fifth chukker,
when Mexico made its most severe
threat, running the score up to

feeling that the United States had

Thus, springing from such an
aura of refinement, wealth and
culture, the polo folks who sit
in the stands to watch their
idols, are tn least vociferous
of any sports audience I ever
encountered. outside of the
possible exception of the chess
and checker galleries.
Not that polo addicts are not
appreciative of fine play and
fine Craftsmanship as well as
equine intelligence, but they
have mastered, through their
clustered upbringing, control of
their emotions at all times,
in public at least, although I
am not qualified to say this
is true in private.
There Are Mild Abs
Expression is suppressed, so
when a fine play is made, when
a goal is shot with distance
and direction, mild wave of
"ah's" sweeps the galleries and
there is polite handclapping,
which the proletariat might
call fingernail applause.
Twixt chukkers, 712 minutes,
my dears, the riders speed off
to the sidelineS and from op-
posite ends of the field get
fresh mounts, while a veritable
regiment of flunkies chaSes out
on the field and replaces the
myriad divotS, which in this
case are numerous and deep,
because of the recent rains.

Not hopeleSSly dead, but on a
par with the ball of 1914, when
major league baseball reached a
peak in playing excellence with
Ty Cobb, Iris Speaker and Christy
MatheWson at their best.
It is entirely in order that one
should ask: What is the relation
between the passing Of Babe Ruth
and deadening the major league
ball?
We have to go back a few years,
very briefly, and paint little pic.
ture. We have to sketch a rock
ing and Keeling pastime known as
baseball, shocked and punch
drunk from the 1919 world series
scandal. We must introduce a
gargantuan man from Boston, a
pitcher with knack of knocking
the cover off ball. That man is
Babe Ruth, who in 1920 was sold
to the New York Yankees. The
ball was needed for him to hit as
no other player ever hit ball be-
fore.
The crash of Ruth's bat on the
needed ball was sweeter music to
fans than ever a pied piper blew
on his enchanted pipe. The mis-,
sile flew to points never before
reached by a ball projected by
human agency. The turnstiles
clicked and profits accrued. Ruth's
salary scared from mere 80
grand to 100000. The salaries of
players increased along the line.
The golden age of baseball came
with the rise of Ruth.
Slips Back
Time and change worked on
Ruth. Slowly he slipped back
into the ranks of the marching
mob of ball players. He was no
longer the leader.
Gehrig leads the home run
hitters today and an apathetic
nation says:
ooh yea, what did the Tigers
dO?. What was the score Of
the Giants gamer"
The passing of Ruth from a
playing force, a vital factor in the
life of a team into a legendary
character of baseball exerts far.
reaching influence. Ruth, the
great figure, cannot be replaced
by a mere mortal. The thrills he
introduced into the game, that he
sent playing up and down the
spines of baseball crowds, cannot
be transmitted by another player
