RETAIL TRADE
OUTLOOK GOOD,
REVIEW STATES
Year. End Prospects Favor.
able for All Lines Except
Grocery.
Times Special


NEW YORK, Nov. /. Retail
trade gains throughout the country
have been general except in the
New York area, the Standard
Statistics Co. declared today in its
first-of -the-month resume of lead
ing industries.
Mail order concerns continue
their leading position, followed by
department stores and variety
stores. Year-end prospects, It is
held, are favorable except in the
grocery trade where adverse price
trends continue.
Opinions expressed on other lines
Of industry were as follows:
PETROLEUM - Ability Of the
petroleum industry to prevent price
weakness in California from spread
ing to other sections and gradual
Improvement in that territory have
frightened the outlook Consump-
ton of petroleum products is run
ming well ahead of 1884 levels and
recurrence CS the severe gasoline
price wars of last year is unlikely.
RADIO-The selling season for
sets is now approaching its peak,
with good demand for moderate and
| higher priced sets affording the
basis for better profit margins. AS
a result, earnings of most manufac-
turerS in this line should show con-
siderable improvement over the past
several years. BroadcaSting reve-
nues continue to gain, with pros
poets quite promising we'll into next
spring.
PAPER-Seasonal dizziness will
prevail in several lines during the
next few months, but prospects for
the early part of next year are
generally favorable, both as to sta
bility of prices and good demand.
CHEMICALS-With such leading
consumers as the textile, automobile
and steel industries maintaining
high rates of activity, indica tons
are that chemical sales will con-
tinue at the higher levels recently
established. The annual contract
ing period this month should be
passed without any major inter
ruptiOn in sales.
UTILITIES - Third quarter re-
ports now coming in reveal that
electric utility earnings we're above
1884 levels not only for the quarter
but for the nine months ended
Sept. 30. Manufactured gas con-
sumption continues to lag, but
the natural gas industry has shown
impressive improvement thus far
in 1885.
RAILROADS - Freight volumes
have held to high levels for some
time, only one week in more than
a month and a half having wit
messed a drop below the 100000
car level. Coal and miscellaneous
freight should continue to support
substantial gains over 1894 through
most Of the rest of the year.
RAILROAD EQUIPMENT =
Manufacturers are still handicapped
by the lack of orders, but the re-
cent upswing in carloadings has
frightened prospects materially.
While no large contracts are ex-
peCted over the near term, extern
sion of the improvement in rail
tonnage into 1886 should result in
revival Of equipment purchasing
by the carriers.

RETAIL SALES EXPAND
SHARPLY IN DETROIT
Total for Week IA Per Cent Ahead
of Last Year.
Times Special


DETROIT, Nov. 1.-Two distinct
signs of better times for Detroit were
made known today. Retail sales
showed an increase of IA per cent
over the corresponding period of last
year during the last week and the
number of families on relief rolls
dropped by more than $500.
Increased pay rolls at automobile
plants and the satisfactory shopping
weather we're credited by the Re-
tail Merchants Association as i'm
portant factors in the good gain in
retail sales.
An increase in the number Of
WPA workers in Wayne County in
dictated that a goodly number Of the
persons released from relief rolls
had found employment with the
Federal projects.

the banking panic-then we can
mark the highest point to the
present rise as 81. That was IN the
latter part Of January, 1885.
After that business continued to
decline pretty definitely until July.
This looked very ominous because
with the summer recession due
further decline was anticipated
But instead, business began to pick
up in July and, with momentary
pauscs, it has been rising ever
since. 1t has now touched go.
THIS figure conforms with the
Il widely spread current feeling
Of better business which is notice
able everywhere. 1t also is in
harmony with the opinions Of
those who think that initiation has
already begun to have its effect
and is due for further develop
ment.
This latter conviction is reason
able. There is nothing IN the fun
damental business situation which
can account for the rise but infla-
ton. Activity in the capital goods
industry, which alone could sup
port a rise, has remained dormant
There has been pickup in house
building. But it has not been suf-
ficiently vigorous to amount to
much
While security financing has
been fairly good, it has all been
for refunding purposes, with little
new capital in sight. The banks
have not altered lending policies
in any important degree. CONNER
cial loans are no larger than they
were a year ago. What continues
to go forward and to pour fresh
supplies to purchasing power into
the market is government spend
ing. This continues at a pace not
very different from last year.
THERE is not visible any sign
L that this policy of govern
ment spending will be abated and
hence there is no reason to believe
that this mild inflationary move
ment will cease. 1t will go on as
long as government spending con-
tinues and alter that to whatever
extent private capital steps in an
takes up the load. 1t will end as
soon as government spending is
stopped, unless private capital as
sumes the burden.
For this reason it is impossible
to cOncede that it is a healthy
movement. 1t is also difficult to
make any prophecy as to how far
it will go
There is no coed ground for
concluding that the AdminiStra-
ton in an election year will di-
miniSh the force of the one thing
which is producing the uplift.
Therefore the most reasonable
conclusion is that it will continue
through the winter.

ROSS REGA|NS
WELTER TITLE
Manager Declares McLarnin Is
Through And viii Retire From
Ring AT Once
BY STUART CAMERON
United Press Sports Editor

NEW YORK, May 29.-Barney
Ross is better man than Jimmy
McLarnin. Barney knows it. So do
the 10000 fans who saw these two
great welterWeights slug it out for
l5 rounds at the Polo grounds last
night. Jimmy knows it and, des-
pite the loud squawks coming from
ms corner, so does McLarnin's
manager, Pop Foster
Ross is one again welterweight
champion of the world, and Nc
Larnin probably has fought his
last fight. Foster today said defin-
. itely, well, we quit now Jimmy's
going to retire"
Entering the ring an odds-on
favorite. Ross more than lived up to
predictions. He carried the fight to
McLarnin in the early rounds, wea-
thered a storm which began when
he hurt his hand in the sixth, and
forged on to an unquestioned de-
cision in the closing sessions. There
was just one discordant note to-
day. 1t was the bleat of the aging
Dempsey as referee.
1T was highway robbery without
violence" Foster said.
He made quite scene before the
fight started. Dempsey, who had
handled the final preliminary, was
directed to remain in the ring. Ges-
ticulating wildly, Foster carried his
objection to Gen. John Phelan,
chairman of the state athletic
commission. Thumbed down by the
general, Foster stomped around the
ring and finally walked over to
Dempsey, offered his hand and
said. Il know you are an honest
man."
Pop Still Sore
Then the fight went on and when
it was over Foster, in Jimmy's
dressing room, complained some
more.
THE minute we saw Dempsey in
there as referee we knew we were
sunk" Pop began. He's been hang
ing around. the Ross camp and is
very friendly toward that crowd
And anyway he's not a capable,
competent or reliable referee
Jimmy didn't agree with his boss.
BEST referee ever had in the ring
with me-" was the way he put it.
incidentally, the matter of Demp-
sey's being referee was of no great
importance. Both judges voted for
Ross so Dempsey's vote was need
less.
Discounting Pops feelings and
remarks entirely, it's more than
likely that McLarnin will fight no
more. He said at his training camp
that he was getting ready to quit.
He has plenty of money and wants
to marry and settle down.

FAST CARS IN
AU D CLASSIC

INDIANAPOLIS, May 20. UP) -
One OF the fastest fields of cars
ever to race over the bricks of the
historic Indianapolis speedway was
tuned to delicate pitch today for
the annual 500-mile Memorial day
classic.
Officials estimated more than
10000 persons would watch the
race.
A rush of activity during the
final trial runs yesterday complet-
ed the field OF 33 starters and left
two alternates.
Fred Winnai, Philadelphia, drove
a four -cylinder Miller-Dusenberg
to the fastest time of the day, an
average of $115.138 miles an hour
for 25 miles.
In the pole position will be Rex
Mays Los Angeles dirt track star,
who established a new 25 mile track
record of 120736 miles an hour. A
majority of the cars exceeded ia
miles an hour.
Cars will be limited to 42l2 gal
Ions of gasoline for 500 miles.

LEAGUE GAMES
By United Press

Dick Barrett, Seattle hurler
whose right arm once was as dead
as a picked herring, appears to
have found the stride which made
him one of the most capable pitch
ers in baseball in years gone by.
Barrett started his pitching car
eer around Philadelphia, doing
mound duty for semi-pro clubs. A
chance for a major league berth
was nullified by a shoulder muscle
injury, caused, doctors said, by his
trying to initiate old "Hoss" Rad
bourne in pitching nearly every
day
Modern surgery cured the in
Jury and Dick went to the Boston
Braves where he served well until
his transfer to Seattle.
He won his third in week from
the Indians last night by defeating
the Mission Reds, 10-4. Barrett was
able to hold down every Mission
slugger except Berger.
Los Angeles climbed to within
one-half q game of the leading
Oakland club by defeating Sacra-
mento, To, behind Mike Nicola S
steady pitching.
Oakland lost ground in bowling,
90, to the Seals. Three run rallies
in the fifth and seventh gave the
improving O'Doul charges the
game.
Hobo Carson gave Portland a
good start on it's home stay by
beating Hollywood, 11-3.
Imperial Valley press., 1935-05-29

1t was q lulu while it lasted. fans
and 1t sure lasted a long time
IL innings. and when midnight ar
rived at Wilson school field the
weary players decided to call it a
night. They picked up their gloves,
bats and balls, turned out the
floodlights and went home. Final
result: Valley Steam Laundry /,
Cramer Bakery l.
This game will stand out in the
memory of fans for many moons
and rightly SO because the fortun-
ate ones who stuck it out saw base
ball as it should be played. Alright
pitching, alright fielding and baf-
fling feats of catching and throw
ing which cut off rallies time and
again.
The Bakers drew first blood in
the opening stanza when Humph-
rey connected for a screeching
triple. He scored when Neeley lam
baSted one of Joe Hurst's offer
ings for another triple which was
kept from being a home run only
by some magnificent work on the
part of the Laundry outfield.
In the fourth frame the Laundry
boys evened up matters. Post
doubled to left and scored when
Marquar singled to the same spot.
This rung the curtain down on the
scoring section of the game, but
from then on thrill succeeded thrill
until it seemed impossible to bring
anything else out of the bag which
would enthuse the crowd.
Hurst's feat in pitching 13 con-
secutive innings without yielding
a single hit was the outstanding
feature of the game. Lynn Stew
art pitched under difficulties due
to illness which had bothered him
for the past several days.
While both hurlerS were in rare
form and pitched their heads off,
sight must not be lost of the ex-
cellent support given them in the
field Wallops which at other times
would have gone for hits were cut
down and putouts made when 1t
seemed almost impossible TO head
off the runners.
This game set an all-time record
at Wilson field passing the l6 in
ming game played two years ago
