Hunt Hits Too Hard,
Declares Bill TiLdeH1

Rarely is an athlete said to be
too powerful a hitter in tennis,
but Gilbert Hunt enjoys that dis
tinction in the opinion of "Big
Bill" Tilden.
Tilden paid tribute to the local
boys courage and stamina and
said that he volleys we'll but his
defense is not comparable to his
offense. His heavy hitting is
carried to extremes, and he has
good deal of work ahead of
him before gaining the ambition
of every amateur-a place on the
Davis Cup team.

TWO BOWLERS
JOLT DOPE

Try to find anything but a
smile on the face of Roddy
Thomas, popular and efficient
promoter of the Evening Star
duckpin tournament, these days.
After carefully nursing his pet"
along for weeks, Roddy has been
rewarded by the most successful
tourney and largest turnout in
the history of the event.
A couple of dark horses have
come to the fore in the persons
of AL Wright and Jim Barrett.
The first-named threw in a 678,
including an 18-pin handicap,
while Barrett, using a 10-handi-
cap, came through with 658. AL
proved his worth as a money
bowler by adding a 161 as his
final game.
Oil Pacini, defending cham
pion, rolling from scratch, had a
655. The 1881 champion, Glen
Weidman, while a little below
the leaders in total pins, estab-
lished a record game last night
when he smacked down ITS pins.

The Washington times., 1934-01-04

But you are completely wrong
according to your good friend
Maurice Bum" Enright, popular
local referee. He claims that Joe
Lynch, son Of Mike Lynch, we'll
known marathon runner, is the
greatest basketer he has seen
around these parts.
And Enright has officiated in
hundreds Of games including
scholastic, college, professional
and sandlot contests. He has
seen many star players in action.
Knows His Game
Enright knows this basketball
game from end to end. He played
with Gonzaga High a few years
back and was really and truly an
outstanding star.
Here Is what Enright says
about the redoubtable Joe Lynch:
"Joe can handle the ball bet
ter than any player have been
around Washington. Can he
pot 'em? He can sink 'em from
any angle. In fact he is a dead
shot. And is a swell fellow and
a clean-cut sport. More power
to him."
While attending Gonzaga,
Lynch averaged II points per
game and if that isn't shooting
you can go home and tell your
mother you don't know from
nothing.
Great at Mount
Joe Lynch was one Of the great
est basketball players ever to at.
tend Mount st. Mary'S College.
For three years he was selected

Detroit Retailing
Is Satisfactory

Retail sales in Michigan showed
slight downward trend last
week. Current Detroit trade was
2 per cent under that for the cor
responding week of 1888, although
merchants classify it as "satisfac.
tory"
Demand for consumer goods is
fully up to normal.
Prices of food products in De-
troit are stiffening, while dry
goods and textile prices are soften
ing. Merchants ascribe the pres
ent recession in retail business to
a further seasonal decline in
manufacturing operations.
Prices for many commodities
and industrial products are not
likely to come down, regardless of
pressure, as wage scales and raw
material prices continue in the
ascendancy. Prices for many
canned goods are rising and de-

Mail Banking
20 Years Old
Tomorrow

Banking by mail received its
initial impetus TO years ago, &C
cording to Kenneth M. Murchison.
vice-president of the Central Saw
ings Bank.
The United States railroad post
office system will be 10 years old
tomorrow.
On August %, 1864. a railroad
car, in charge of two postal clerks
and equipped with special racks,
shelves and other facilities for
sorting mail in transit, was run
between Chicago and Clinton,
Iowa.
The banker pointed out that to-
day the railroad post office system
has enabled thousands of people,
living in some 10000 communities
lacking banking facilities, to do
banking by mail.
In New York City most of the
larger savings banks have banking
by mail departments. The Central
Savings Bank has received in
quiries on its banking by mail
service from every State in the
Union.
The system has increased con-
siderably in the past few years,
especially in the sparsely settled
northern part of New York State,
which has few savings banks.
The savings banks in Albany
have developed special depart
ments for encouraging saving on
the part of those living on farms
and in the mountains, many OF
whom are miles from a bank.

RAIL SHARE RISE

BY WALL STREET SPECTATOR

BY WALL STREET SPECTATOR
NEW YORK, Aug. 26 0U.SD
Wall Street returns to work this
week feeling somewhat more cheer
full than it did last Monday. For
one thing the market gave a more
convincing demonstration that it
wants to do right by its traders
than it has in some weeks.
Railroad shares demonstrated
they could go up almost as easily
as they went down in July and on
an individual percentage basis
have done better than any other
section of the list.
The utilities also came to life
with Consolidated Gas taking on
a better appearance than it has in
many a month. Even United
States Steel, which has been a
comparative laggard on rallies,
has been doing better despite the
guinness over the induStry'S out
look.
Short covering is said to be 60
ing on apace.
The consistency Of the advance
over the past week has forced a
good many of the skeptics to cover,
which makes for some impair
ment of the markets otherwise
excellent technical position.

COTTON MOVES
STILL LOWER

NEW YORK, Aug. 27 1.NSD.
The cotton market continued gen.
orally reactionary today, following
Saturdays sinking spell.
The market was off to an un-
settled start, with initial declines
of from to points, influenced
largely by drop of from S to 10
points in the Liverpool list below
due prices. There were no out
standing features to the trading,
with a continued outpouring of
hedge sales, and offerings by the
South, Liverpool and local traders
the motivating influences for the
setback.
There was fairly strong trade de-
mand. with considerable buying
taking place by brokers usually
acting for the Far East. Profes-
Sionals made scattered purchases
in the belief that a technical rally
was near.
The weather report showed
heavy rains in the Gulf States, in
Cluding eastern Texas, over the
weekend. Showers also occurred
in Louisiana, with heavy rains the
rule through the cotton belt from
Virginia southwark.
Late in the forenoon, declines
ranged from 7 to 8 points, with
October off 8 at 1912, December
off 8 at 1927, and March off Z
at 13.41.

Dowries for Brides

1t pays to be the youngest, old

the year in the Scottish parish Of
st. Cyrus, KincardineShire. These
brides receive cash dowries. The
custom had its origin in a custom
which occurred more than eighty
years ago, says a writer In the
Montreal Herald. John Orr sat
looking out at a binding snow
storm. Through the blizzard he
saw a country lad and his sweet
heart vending their way to the
village church to be married. he
wondered what they had in the
way of worldly goods; made in
Quiries, and discovered that they
had an abundant store Of mutual
love, but little else. On his death,
he left $1,000, the interest on which
he directed be divided into five
equal portions, the first to be given
to the poor, the remainder to be
divided between the brides as speci-
fed
