Gibson and Union Pacific lost
more than a point each. N. Y.
Central was driven under 20 for
a point loss. NewHaven common
and preferred went to new 1884
lows.
The decline in the rails brought
sympathetic selling into the rest
of the list. The industrials, how
ever, continued to show strong
support.
Utilities likewise gave Sold-out
appearance and showed a better
tone. The rise in power output
for the week to the highest level
in four years helped. American
Telephone was quiet and some
what easier awaiting the outcome
of the noon dividend meeting.
The persistent buying which
has been noted in General Motors
for several days continued.
Electric Auto Lite was strong in
the accessories on the hope d.
rectors would put the stock on a
dividend basis at next weeks
meeting.
Steels were moderately reac-
tionary despite the optimistic
tone of the mid-week Iron Age
review.
Trading was only moderately
active.

TRADE
RANCE SMALL

NEW YORK, Nov. 81 G.N.s).
Reflecting general dullnesS in
commodity and security markets,
cotton futures held in narrow
range today in extremely quiet
trading at levels slightly under
the previous close. On the call
the list was about in line with
Liverpool cables that were "A
American points below due prices.
Prices appreciated to some extent
as the forenoon progressed, but
failed to go above last nights
finish.
There were occasional pur-
chases by domestic trade sources
and some of the large commits
sion houses, but the aggregate de-
mand was comparatively light.
Contracts were supplied by local
operators and the South. Spot
houses sold sparingly. The CEN
sus bureaus ginning report was
made public today, showing g.
632,991 bales of cotton of 1884
growth ginned prior to Nov. IA.
counting round bales as halves
and excluding linters. This COM
pared with 11,248.2OO to the cor.
responding 1888 date and 10,533,'
684 two years ago.
Noon prices were off ID
points, with December off / at
1926, March off l at 1927. July
off 2 at 1890, and october off
2 at 1900.

WHEAT PRICES
POINT LOWER

CHICAGO, Nov. 81 G.N.S).
Wheat prices continued under
pressure today due to more favor
able weather conditions in the
Southwest and sluggishness in
foreign markets. Corn, however,
bucked the general trend and
gained fractionally.
Wheat recovered partially in
sympathy with the upturn in
corn after yielding p to 7sc but
there was little carry-through
and the market fell back. Corn
moved up y to 845sc 9or the
May contract but lost part OF
the gain. -
Near midsession wheat was 70
to Ac off, corn 70 to 3ac up
oats 1sc down.
Ire strong cash situation con-
tinued to influence good buying
of corn futures.

Wheat Exports
In Week Total
Nothing

Wheat exports by the United
States last week hit bottom when
not one bushel of the cereal was
shipped from the country.
The Department of Commerce,
reporting on grain exports, said
also that only 10000 bushels of
all types of grain were exported
during the week. The drought
last summer, officials said, left
the country without the usual eX-
port surplus and little or no ef-
fort was being made to sell any
grain abroad.

LOUISIANA MEN MADE NEW MARKS
 THAT WILL STAND

New Orleans tUP)-Two Lou- isiana State University track and field stars hung up worlds records at the National A. A. U. champion ship meet at Milwaukee that likely will stand for some years to come.
 For more than 25 years, no shot butter was able to equal the 50- foot record made by the California giant, Ralph Rose. Jack Torrance, L. s. U., slightly taller than the Californian, tossed the shot at the Milwaukee meet 55 feet, five inches.
 When Rose passed on, many thought his shot put record would live forever. sMany athletes since have duplicated his record, but Torrance-290 pounds-now stands as the greatest shot butter of all time.
 The Oakgrove, La, boy is point ing for the 1886 Olympic Games in Berlin, where he hopes to put the shot 50 feet. All he needs is prac- tice and competition.
 Glenn (Slats) Hardin set up a new worlds record when he ran the 400-meter hurdles in 51.3- surpassing all records and breaking his own world and Olympic record. By this feat he has the distinc- tion of being the worlds greatest performer in three different events the 440-yard run, the, 400-meter hurdles and the 220-yard low hurdles.

FIVE TANKS SICK | OR SORE AS TEAM
 CLOSES ON TIGERS
Earl COOmbs Has Skull Fracture That May Halt
 Baseball Career
By THEoN WRIGHT

United Press Stan Correspondent
 New York, July 26-CUP)- ''This is the end of the Yankees" :"
 Babe Ruth, who made the Yam kees. muttered these words as he paced the corridor of a St Louis hospital yesterday. Beyond door lay Earl Combs, ten year veteran of the Yankees. His head was swathed in white; he had cracked his skull against concrete wall, running for afiy ball.
 Combs will be out of the game for the rest of the year; perhaps for life. And all over the country fans are asking-"Is this the end of the Yankees in this years racer"
 Hard Luck
 A roll call of injuries such as few clubs have suffered in major league history is plastered over their record this year. Ben Chap man has Charley horse" that he got colliding with Frank Crosetti going after a fly ball. Lefty Gomez has a sore pitching arm. Tony Lazzeri has barely recovered from a wrenched cartilage in his knee, which kept him out for the month.
 Ruth himself is playing against doctors orders-that welt on his leg, where a terrific drive off Lou Gehrig's bat caught him less than two weeks ago. And yesterday Chapman left the game after the first inning his knee gone bad again. Add them up: Chapman, Lazzeri, Gomez, Ruth-and now Combs! Where do the Yankees go from here?
 Yesterday in the face of their luck. they beat the St Louis Browns, 5-4. Sammy Byrds homer in the fifth did it., with Hoag and Lazzeri on base. They are now but a game behind Detroit-but how long can it last.
 Detroit suffered a relapse after long winning drive, losing to the Boston Red Sox 9-7. Roy John- son drove the winning run home with a double in the ninth, and sent the Tigers tumbling back wards.
 The Cleveland Indians made it two straight off the Athletics, talk ing advantage of Bert Flohr's wildness to start rally in the fourth after Philadelphia had taken three-run lead. Cleveland won S-3.
 Slick Work
 George Earnshaw gave Chicago's White Sox their first shutout vic- tory this year, 40 over Washing ton. The Swarthmore giant gave only seven hits and in the ninth when the Senators started an up- rising he retired the side on strikes.
 The Boston Braves took a double header from the Cincinnati Reds in the only National league games 2-1 and 7-3. Art Whitney's homer and Moore's double won the open- CT, while Marty McManus slammed a homer in the second game with bases full to win. Chick Hafey got homer for the Redlegs in each game.
 The Giants and Cards were washed out, as were the Cubs and Dodgers in Brooklyn. Wet grounds halted play in Philadelphia be- tween the Phils and Pirates, who have declared a double header for to-day.

COLLECIANS AND ALL STARS BREAK
 EVEN IN CONTEST
Benefit Game Goes Six Innings to 3=3 Score;
 Another Tilt Carded

A nice, tight, interesting ball gam eended in six inning tie last evening at Hamilton park as the Bloomfield Collegians, a group of St Thomas seminary boys, and Q City league An-Star outfit played to a 3-3 count. The teams will meet again next Wednesday to set tie the question of superiority and also add to the kidides fund at the Hamilton park playground, which benefited from whatever money was received last evening.
 Good Work
 Lefty" O'Dea, on the hill for the college boys, allowed just five hits in six innings, famed six bat ters and hit two nifty safeties as his part of the game, while Frank Kelly's three-bagger was the best individual hit of the contest. Hen nessey and Larry Mullen pitched for the City leaguers who had the game won up to the sixth inning, but Leahy and Kelly singled, the tieing run acoming in when an at- tempted double play failed on Fill ip's ground ball. Melvin hit hard for the All-Stars, getting three bingles. Summary:

O'Farrell, veteran big league catcher, is serving his first season under a two-year contract.
 Action Coming
 That the Reds management is going to do something about the clubs record of 29 wins and 60 losses was indicated in a statement forwarded from Larry McPhail, general manager, to Travelling Sec- retary James B. Reston. we have not held Bob responsible for the showing of the team, which has been disappointing to Bob as well as to us," it read in part: We will be influenced great deal in any decision that may be made by what Bob has to say when he arrives here Friday"
 The last sentence made it clear that O'Farrell would be called into conference at the end of the cur rent road trip that has seen the Reds drop four straight games to the Phillies and three of four to Boston. What the chunky catcher "has to say' he summed up pretty well.
 Help Wanted
 ''They promised me all kinds of assistance but they have bought me just one ball player, an outfielder who is a pretty good hitter but a poor fielder. I told McPhail the only way to get a young ball club together was to establish a farm system and develop their own prcs- poets. They have just started, but some of the players they have pick ed up are four or five years away.

Green Bay, Wis. (UP).-With clubs in their best financial condi- tion and new rules adopted to speed up play, teams of the Ma tional Professional F a League are looking forward to a lively and successful 1884 season, Coach. E. L. Lambeau of the Green Bay Packers reported on his re. turn from the annual league con- ference in New York.
 The Chicago Cardinals, in sign ing up 30 college players for trials, have made the biggest improve ment in the league, although De- troit will have the most dangerous team in the Western division, Lambeau predicted. Boston, in his estimation, will produce the most powerful team in the Eastern divi- sion.
 New and revised rules should do much toward popping the game up this year, Lambeau, himself a member of the rules committee, said.

 Incidentally, Temple has scored but two shutout triumphs itself in the same period of time. During the 1884 canipaign, however, the run production was prety good, the Owls averaging five runs per con- test. s
