MARKET FACES
NEW TEST OF
STRENGTH

NEW YORK, Oct. 6 dN.s).
The market today is expected
to face the first important test
of its underlying position since
it went on the rampage last Fri
day, with the outcome likely to
point the way for the near-term
trend of prices.
The late profit taking wave
yesterday, which cut deeply into
earlier gains of industrials and
rails carried utilities definitely
into the red, was not entirely
unexpected.
Despite the irregular windup,
the 37-cent net gain in the in
duStrials and the 35-cent gain
in rails lifted both of these key
divisions to new recovery peaks.
The 28-cent decline in utilities
heightened the odds on this
group breaking through its mid
summer high, 1A points up the
line, without some electrifying
news on the power situation.
Commission houses, though,
had cause for rejoicing, with
total transactions reac ching

previous highs for the year.

NEW YORK, Oct. 6 Q.N.S0.
Although the market quieted
down today, after rising into new
high ground for the fourth sec.
cessive day, the general run of
stocks continued to hold well
above previous closing levels.
Deere and Company was
standout in farm implements,
soaring more than points into
new high ground. Fairbanks
Morse preferred skyrocketed 81
points to 200 in the first hour.
Pivotal groups, including motors,
steels and rails were higher but
failed to make much headway,
being forced to absorb profit-tak-

Bethlehem, though, reached new
highs for the year.
Oils started off with a block
OF 5000 shares in Socony-Vacuum.
Texas Corporation moved into new
high territory, while Standard of

up more than a point at one

CopperS were paced by Amer

PhelpS-Dodge made a new top.
Utilities, aviation, and liquors

HUNTING
(AccOrdiHlg to
Tznnk WnLtOn)

There is still the better part OF
two weeks to get in one more duck
hunting trip, in case those that
you have had were like every one
that has so far come to our at
tention. So bad has been the gen
eral run of luck that we have had
reported not a single trip. The
bags have been more than diSap-
pointing and the flight for this
year has been less than the
greatly depleated one of 1885.
Now it is possible to give you
some little news, and it is from
closely. In other years we always
have a report from old friend Bob
Burdette by the second or third
day Of the season.
Birds Coming In
This year the season is half over
before he can report that the birds
are coming in to the blinds at
GunSton, in umbers that will give
the hunters a chance to get their
bag limit.
In case you would like to give it
a try, phone Bob at his Duck Inn,
IS miles down Route No. l, at
Woodbridge, Va, for reservation.
The number is Lorton 10 F 13.
His charges are reasonable, SO
for two hunters per day, which
includes boat and attendant.
Talbot Denmead can point with
pride to his record, gained over
the past several years, as chief
enforcement officer of the black
bass law for the Bureau of Fish
les, Department Of Commerce.
Prohibit Sale
In that time 80 States, the Dis
trict and the city of Baltimore
have prohibited their sale at all
times, regardless of where taken
In addition the States Of Colo
RADIO, Missouri, New Mexico,
South Dakota, Utah and Wyo-
ming prohibit the sale if taken
within the State. In South Caro-
lima alone is the sale permitted at
all times if taken outside the
State. Those caught in the State
may be sold from July to March
81. Two other States have re-
stricted dates for sale, but it is
in West Virginia alone that a
really proper restriction is placed
upon this great sport fish. There
it is unlawful to serve or purchase
bass obtained from any source,
at any time.
The time is surely very close
now, when every State in the
Union will recognize the fact that
the black bass has as a sport fish,
many times the value that it has
as a food fish

Central, Riders
In Spotlight

Teams from Central and
Roosevelt were in the scholastic
spotlight, and further, looking
for more rivals to conquer.
The Central basketball team
had an impressive 81 to 16 vic
tory over Cambridge High, fol-
lowing a game at Cambridge,
Md.
The Roosevelt courtmen had
a 80 to triumph on record
over Montgomery-Blair, following
O contest at the Roosevelt gym.
Sam Fox was Central's star
against Cambridge, by scoring 10
points. Ray Friedrich was RooSe-
.velt's ace, with 10 points.
Two other interesting events
kept the scholastic day a busy
one. woodrow Wilson High lost
a 81 to 81 swimming match to
the Y. M. C. A. team at the "Y."
It was the first meet in the his
tory of Woodrow Wilson.
st. Johns crack basketball
team dropped a % to 20 con-
test to Bethesda Chevy Chase at
st. Johns. This game was quite
an upset, since the Johnnies
where heavily favored.
A late rally won for the Mary
landers. It was the first defeat
of the year for the 1886 Cath
olic Prep School League champs.

Shepherd Meets
Southeastern

Southeastern University basket
ball team opens its home season
tonight when it engages Shep-

9 o'clock on the Central Y. M.
C. A. court. This game will fol-
low a preliminary game between
the Y. M. C. A. team and the
Gallaudet J. VS., which will get
under way at 7:45 o'clock.
To date Southeastern has lost
two sail games on foreign courts.
the first to Baltimore University
and the second at Mt. st. MaryS.
Since Mt. st. MaryS' defeated
both Shepherd and Southeastern
by practically the same score,
neither is considered much Of a
favorite over the other. 1t is
expected that Shepherd will start
the same lineup that started in
the game with Catholic Uni
versity Thursday night at Brook
land, while the downtown school
will probably be starting Marx
land or Hood at center, Madden
and woodward at onward, and
Bill Albert and Dickey at guards,
with Batten and Zieler ready
to step in at either the forward
or guard positions.

Wins
Mai Opener

The Blues came through their
first mat meet Of the season vic
torious, trouncing the Baltimore
Polytechnic matmen, 20-18, in a
thrilling series Of matches at the
Gallaudet gym last night.
John GlaSsett, in the 1875, had
the distinction of being the first
Kendall Greener to win a match
this year, after Nelgard, of Balti-
more, downed Claxton Hess, of
Gallaudet, in the 118. GlaSSett,
wrestling for the first time in the
1875, although hampered by a
broken finger, pinned Lutman, of
Poly, in 5 minutes and 6 seconds,
tieing the score at sail. The next
two matches were won by the
Baltimoreans, Sheppard defeating
Ned Wheeler by time advantage,
and King pinning Otto Berg, in
the 1875 and 145, respectively. Earl
Jones scored the second victory
for the Blues, pinning Semma in
minutes and As seconds. Poly
managed to win one more match
before bowling down to Gallaudet,
when Abrams pinned Hubert Sell
ner in the 165 in minutes and
80 seconds. The last two matches
in the ITS and unlimited divisions
were Gallaudet'S. Will Rogers,
showing remarkable aggressive
ness, had almost no trouble at all
in pinning Milan in / minute and
Is seconds, and George Culbretson
down Hartka in z minutes, to raise
the Blues score two points over
Polys.

ably will get, a bout with Joe
Louis as a result Of his knockout
victory last night at Madison
Square Garden over Ray Impellit-
tierre.
The wheels already have been
set in motion to bring Pastor and
Louis together in a mid-winter
indoor attraction at the Garden.
Outweighed by more than so
pounds and at a deficit in reach
and height, Pastor last night
waged a gallant fight in betting
out the big Imp" in seven rounds
to keep intact the impressive rec
ord he has been compiling.
Pastor has been whipped once
and has fought one draw in 20
fights since he left New York Uni
versity to cast his lot among the
pros, and last nights victory was
one Of his most impressive.
He looked like a midget against
the big Imp" from Cold Spring,
N. Y, but waded right in at the
opening gong and left little doubt
as to the final outcome.
Pastor flooed the Imp" in the
first round and again in the sixth,
and won the fight with a right
and a left in the seventh.
The limp" finished with blood
cascading from his nose and with
his lips and right eye cut.

Goldie Ahearn yesterday signed
Doug Swetman, hard-hitting local

a draw when he met Swetman in
Baltimore last month.

nary will be contracted as soon as
Ahearn finds a suitable opponent
