MARKETS
NEW YORK STOCKS

NEW YORK, June II. R-The
stock market withstood a furry Of
selling in utilities Wednesday and
then got back into its forward
stride.
Obviously apprehenSive that a
wild wave OF selling in utilities was
in prospect after senate passage Of
the Wheeler Rayburn bill with its
death penalty" clause for some
holding companies. the market was
nervous at the opening but quickly
regained its composure when there
was no disposition to follow up
initial declines. Before the first
half hour had ended power and
light shares had cancelled a major
portion Of their loss and key stocks
among rails and industrials wero
on the upgrade. The house COM
mittee that will write the next
chapter In the utility holding COM
pany legislation following the mar
row margin by which the Dieterich
amendment was defeated IN the
senate Tuesday. lent considerable
encouragement TO followers OF power
and light shares.
The fact that only one or two
large blocks Of these shares we're
offered az the opening indicated
TO market analysis that present
owners had decided TO stick TO their
guns. at least until a more definite
trend had developed In the house
committees attitude toward the
legislation.
Much OF the activity In Railroad
shares again centered In western
roads but corporate bonds were
held fairly well In line by railroad
issues which entered their sixth
consecutive day Of rising prices.
Foreign exchanges moved narrowly
with both sterling and francs a
trifle easy.

 Again

New Haven, Conn.,, Sept. 14.- (UP)-Yale's football squad of some 60 players left today for its Gales Ferry training camp where six days of elementary drills will determine the makeup of Head Coach Raymond w. (Ducky) Ponds first string team.
 Before the Ellis open the season against New Hampshire October 5, Pond must break in new center and stiffen the line, the only con- ceded weakness.

Chicago Club Getting Top. Notch Pitching as We'll
 as Hard-Hitting
BY GEORGE KIRKsEY

United Press Stan Correspondent)
 New York, Sept. IA - (UP) - One has only to look at the pitch. ing and batting records of the Chi cago Cubs to understand why they are only .0O4 percentage points away from the first place St. Louis Cardinals in the National League today.
 The Cubs, who moved into a virtual tie with st. Louis yesterday, boast a winning streak of ten straight and are hammering at the heels of the world champions as the season swings into the final stretch.
 An idea of the Cubs strength both at bat and in the pitchers box, was offered during the win ming streak in which every start ing pitcher went the route. Larry French heads the parade with three victories, Charley Root, Lon Warneke and Bill Lee two each and Tex Carleton one. In that span, this group of hurlers held the opposition to 15 runs and 76 hits.
 The Chicago batsmen, mean while, blasted out 95 hits for 61 runs. This late-season rally has slammed the Cubs into the Nation- al League team batting lead.
 Their record to date is:
 Runs 765, hits LAO. Doubles 271, runs batted in 707, stolen bases 62. This remarkable display of strength has showed the New York Giants, who led the batting par ade most of the season, to third place.
 The Cubs chalked up their 10th straight yesterday when they wal loped Brooklyn for the seventh consecutive time, Al. The New York Giants defeated St. Louis, 13. 10, in a 10-inning game. This enabled the New Workers to draw within 3 1-2 games of the top. It was d, weird game with the Cards scoring errors and the Giants {. The Cards used four pitchers and the Giants five. Philadelphia de- feated Pittsburgh, 5-1 and Cin- cianati downed Boston, To.
 In the American League, the De- troit Tigers drew to g 1-2 games in front of the second-place New York Yankees by defeating them 1895 in the second straight game of their current series. Boston and St. Louis split, Boston winning the first, 1894, and losing the second Az. Philadelphia defeated Chi- cago, 1927, and Washington bested Cleveland, 5-3.
