ing Lifts Many Later.
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, March 13.-The stock
market displayed flrming tendencies
in most sections today, although a few
Isolated soft spots remained.
After giving an indecisive per-
formance in the forenoon. the mar
ket gave evidence of having worked
itself into an oversold position and
moderate buying orders in sucl
shares as Santa Fe. American Cal,
Case, United States Smelling, Du Port
and Chrysler lifted them l to poin q
higher.
Among the most active stocks thV
failed to fall in line were Liggett 4
Myers b" Anaconda. Americ; {
Water Works and Goodyear. all
which were around a point lower.
Transfers approximated 1.100 0CI
shares, or slightly above yesterdays
turnover. The late tone was fairy
firm.
Selling which came into stocks w
until early afternoon was Of Selec-
tive character. Some Of it seemed to
reflect disappointment over earnings
statements.

The outlook for the final six

to subnormal yields. good rains dur

in fair sized crops.
As the export market for grains has
been practically lost and domestic re-
quirements have been reduced by the
sharply smaller livestock population
even moderately short yields might
represent an oversupply.

IA Double Plays in 5 Games

Yet Earl cannot kick much about his
batting support. Although Is runs
is the highest his mates have scored
behind him, it was the fourth time
Whitehfll has been given scores in
double figures. Once he was given IL
runs and he needed every one and
twice he was given 10.
In Earl's % games which have
either been credited to him or charged
against him the Nationals have scored
l29 runs for an average Of nearly six
per game.
If nothing else, such figures are
another way of emphasizing the short
comings of the pitching department.
Ed Linke, who has a record Of four
victories and seven losses, has been
given 70 runs in his II games for an
average of six plus. Bump Hadley,
with 10 wins and Is defeats, has been
given approximately five runs per
game, as has Buck Newsom, with six
wins and nine defeats.
Lately, however, the, boys have been
throwing Buck down: they've given
him only three scores in the last ~
innings.
The Griffs, especially the pitchers,
swallowed big Jumps in their throats
in the fourth inning yesterday when
foul tip of Tony Piet's bat struck
Catcher Sammy Holbrook on the I'm
ger of his catching hand. Time out
had to be called while Trainer Mike
Martin bandaged the bruised digit.
If Holbrook had been lost to the
team for any length Of time It would
be o terrific blow, inasmuch as the
only other catcher on the squad is
young Bill Starr of Harrisburg. And
Starr is not even rated as q prospect.
Again in the seventh inning Hol-
brook caused considerable concern
when he was hit high on the shoulder
by one of Whitlow Wyatt's pitches
For an awful split second it looked as
though Holbrook would be "beaned."
DILL DINEEN is teamed up with
- Charlie Donnelly as the umpiring
duo for this series. This promises
much wrangling. Dineen, who ofici-
ated during the recent Cleveland
series, clashed with the Griffs at least
once q day on decisions which ranged
from the either way" kind to poor.
Jackie Hayes, usually one OF the best
infielders in the league, had a tough
day. In the second inning he booted
Earl Whitehill's grounder. which per-
mitted Kress to score: in the NTH he
fumbled Holbrook's grounder long
enough to allow Kress to count from
third and In the sixth he put Myer On

Minimizes Home Runs.

uANK has this base ball business all
= = figured out. He's a serious. ambi-
tious young man, possibly more so
now than when he signed with Detroit
after leaving James Monroe High
School in New York, for the neat
sum of $1,000. He figured, he says,
that Lou Gehring was playing too
much first base" for the Yanks, "and
besides, they didn't offer me as much
money"
Hank stumbled around in the base
ball jungles of Hartford. Raleigh,
Evansville and Beaumont until he
caught on with the Tigers in 1888,
when he played lit games. Last year
he batted .339. and this year
He's led the league in home runs,
runs scored, runs batted in and dou-
bles all season, and now he has the
healthy batting average Of well over
$40.
'I'd rather lead the league In hit
ting than In just home runs" said
Hank. That's more Of an accom-
plbhment.
Some folks tell me swing too hard
and that I'm always trying to knock
the ball out Of the lot. That's the
bunk, honest, because I'm using my
natural swing every time I'm up there.
I'm Just trying to get those hits-and
if get them I'm not worrying whether
they're singles or homers."

Bowl tOnlgnt.
This leads to the interesting point
of sporting families-and the wide dill
ferences shown in one family circle.
Buddy and Max are about as far
apart as any two brothers you might
know-and yet their family affection
is quite strong.
Max is 100 per cent playboy and
Buddy is 100 per cent serious.
1t is a heart-breaking job for
Max to take up training, while
training and condition to Buddy
are natural matters.
The two Deans-Paul and Dizzy
are just about as far apart. and yet
you won't find any two brothers who
have a closer family tie-up.
Dizzy looks on the world with grin.
Life to Diz is a merry-go-round. Paul
is quiet and shy, with little to say.
Dizzy has plenty to say-if the subject
happens to interest him.
Paul hates crowds-but crowds are
all right with Dizzy.
Dizzy doesn't break training as Max
has broken the same. Dizzy will in
hale a glass of beer now and then, but
nothing stronger.
Both Dizzy and Max are much more
on the merry, catch-as-catch-can side
of life than Paul and Buddy.
1t seems to me I've spent a good
part of the Summer answering this
question: Whats the matter with
your friend, Dizzy Dean?"

)HcAGo, August 22.-Not
many sprigs of laurel will be
won by the Nationals this
season, but one of the few
pleasant distinctions they have good
chance of gaining Is the double play
leadership.
Standing out in sharp contrast yes
terday in a game marked by n base
hits and half a dozen errors were four
snappy twin killings, involving the
comparatively new infield combina-
ton of Red Kress, Buddy Myer and
Joe Kuhel. The quartet of double
plays brought the Griffs' total in the
last five days to IA. 1t is doubtful II
any team this season has produced
as many over a similar period.
In their last Is tilts the Nationals
have made Is double plays, 10 in the
recent Cleveland series. which helped
the Washington club to virtually tie
the Indians in the twin killing leader
ship for the season.
EARL WHITEHILL seems far ana
- away the best bet among the
Washington pitchers to finish with
the highest percentage. BY winning
his fourth ina row yesterday. the
rotund southpaw chalked up his
twelfth triumph as against 10 losses.
