SPECULATIVE EVILS.
Flynn Hits Discretionary
Powers of S. (. C. in
Town Hall Talk.

How Mr.. Jones, average citizen.
could be victimized in the stock mar
keG was illustrated during Town
Hall lecture last night by John T.
Flynn, popular economist, for the
benefit of an audience he f1attered by
estimating each member Of it might
have SIC, 900 with which to play the
market.
Jones. Flynn told the group Of men
and women at the Shoreham Hotel,
reads a great deal in the paper about
the activity Of the KoaSter stock. He
watches it mount swiftly from 60
70 10, decides to buy at rs, holds it
even when it reaches 80 a few days
later, and then to his chagrin sud-
denly finds it has made a swift de-
scent to 20.
What Mr.. Jones did not know,
Flynn said, was that a certain Mr..
Spreckels had obtained q, 1000 shares of
the stock, given an option to two pro-
moters, who bought and sold in the
Koaster shares so feverishly that its
quotations went quickly upward to 80
when the original holders unloaded
at big profit.
Flynn cited the plight of the myth
ical Mr.. Jones as graphic argument
for the outlawry of all speculation
In securities, which he contendeo
"curses and corrupts most of our busi-
ness"
A necessary step toward the eradica-
ton of the pooling operation, the type
OF speculative promotion which lost
Jones his money, is to put teeth in
the securities act by depriving the
Securities and Exchange Commission
of its discretionary powers, Flynn
said.
stock market regulation should
proceed" he said, ION the theory that
speculation in stocks is bad thing
and ought to be eXtinguished as much
as possible.
There ought to be rigid enforce
ment OF law against these men.
They think they have right to run
the world. They have got to be dis
abused Of that notion. The s. E. c.
has got to stop this gigantic crap
game"
Flynn bitterly criticized the policy
of stating the S. E. C with men from
Wall Street who will return to Wall
Street" and aSsailed particularly the
choice of John Kennedy, broker. as
the first head of the commission.
Recalling that when Kennedy resigned
his official post to return to the brok-
erage business, Wall Street men COM
plimented his work in Washington, he
remarked:
What would you say if j. Edgar
Hoover went out of business with
set of resolutions from the gangsters
for his good handling of his business?"
Eugene Meyer, former chairman OF
the Federal Reserve Board and now
publisher of the Washington Post. sug-
gested to Flynn that some speculation
serves a useful purpose in that most
CT the money for financing new enter
prises comes from spectators.
Speculation is grave menace
when abused" he admitted, however,
'but it is not confined to the stock
market. If you want to attack specu-
lation as an evil, you will have to at
tack all gambling"
Senator Robert Bulkley, Democrat,
of Ohio, and Meyer made up the panel.
my advice is that none of you
should play the market" was Flynn's
last word.

 BAT WIELDERS
Batting Figures Released for First Half of Season
 Play-Nine 300Hitters

Heavy hitters proved scarce in the playing ranks of the Gastineau Channel Baseball League during the first half of the season, only nine batsmen being able to crack the 300 mark. Though Nick Johnson, Elk hurler and outfielder, had wide edge on the other hitters, standing alone above 400, and two Islanders, Red Gray and Walt An drews, were next in line, the Moose proved that their first half win was no fluke by placing four hitters in the select circle, more than any other squad. The Islanders had trio of 300 or better clouters, while Johnson and Big Mac" MacSpad- den were the only members of the cellar dwelling Elks to rate among the top nine.

Sport Stunts

In the early weeks of the current season Chuck Klein warmed the Phillies' bench, except for occas- ional pinch-hitting. It was not until the latter part Of May that he returned to his old outfield berth. And when he did, he went right to work on opposing pit chers.
 He boosted hls batting average until he was in the first five of the National League. He got his daily hit and more often than not it was two. or three.
 The strange part Of Kiein's latest batting spree is that he did his most effective hitting on the road, whereas in the past he had been rated strictly a Baker Bowl buster. The short outfield fences in the Phillies' home park are made to order for Klein's pulled shots.
 The slugger joined the Philadel- phia club way back in 1923, from Fort Wayne. He earned the most valuable player award for his work in 1882 when he led the National League in runs, hits and stolen ba- ses. He stepped out and won the individual batting championship in 1883 and, the following November. was traded to the Chicago Cubs in exchange for Koenig, Kleinhaus, Hendricks and $65,000 in cash.
 He failed to live up to his repu- tation with the Cubs, hitting only .301 in 1884. In 1885 he fell off to .293. The Cubs gave him back to the Phillies for Kowalik, Allen and Curt Davis.
 Klein resumed his old ways. He had a real field day in Forbes Field at the expense of Pirate hurl- CTS when he poled out four homers, the fourth of the series winning a close game for the Phillies. It was all the more impressive because Forbes Field never was one of his favorite homer-hitting parks. In 1885, with the Cubs, Klein hit at least one homer in every other park in the league but could not find the range of the Pirate fences.
 Chuck is in his 10th season in the National League. He is no youngster-hell be celebrating his 32nd birthday in October-but he still rates a dangerous slugger and a capable fielder.
