CHAINS REPORT
JANUARY GAIN

Retail trade had the best Janu-
ary since the depression, accord
ing to the monthly chain store
compilation released yesterday by
Childs, Jeffries & Thorndike, Inc.
The first Is chians to report
did an aggregate business OF $167, :
300,394, compared with $l45, ,334,-
179 in January, 1886.
This was an increase OF $21,'
966,215, or ISL per cent, and com
parable to an increase of 81 per
cent in January, 1895, over the
same month in 1885.
The increase apparently IS a
carry over of the buying momen-
tum which began to make itself
felt last May. Since then, with
the exception of November, in
creaSes have averaged IS per cent
or better each month, in spite of
all obstacles.
Floods and strikes apparently
have had no effect on the sales
of the chains reporting, and, if so,
losses in such districts have been
more than equalized by gains in
other districts. In the automo-
bile district, which was in the
midst of the strike during the en-
tire month, sales appear to have
increased substantially ra h er
than decreased over the same
month a year ago.

Pdrkers, Riders
Seen ViCtors
In Games
BY GARRETT WATERS

By GARRETT WATERS
Eastern an easy winner over
woodrow Wilson and Roosevelt a
possibility over Central.
That looms on the interhigh
horizon today as the four teams
await tonight'G battles at the
Tech gymnasium, beginning at
7:30 p. m.
The Eastern-Wilson fray opens
the festivities. A victory will en-
able the ParkerS to take the lead
in the standings again even
though it will be only temporary.
A Roosevelt triumph over Cen
trail will tie that team with West
ern in so far as standing percen-
tage is concerned.
Now about Roosevelt'S possible
victory. The Riders are once again
in winning stride after a season
of ups and downs.
Team Has Possibilities
Whether this situation can be
continued remains question. The
team has its possibilities with such
youngsters as Joe Conner, Bill
Fogel, Ray Friedrich, Frank Bailey
and Blaine Wicklein in the lineup.
But it's a case Of keeping the boys
keyed up to the series.
The last time Littman'S charges
had q chance of going places,
Eastern was met. The Parkers
stopped the Riders so quickly that
it was several games before they
were able to right themselves.
One Of the teams inspirations
is Joe Conner, captain and center.
His play has topped all the efforts
of his teammates this season in
that he's never had a letdown in
his play since the start.
The others have flashed here
and there, but Conner has been
consistent. And Roosevelt follow
erS should give him every ounce
of credit for the lofty position the
team now holds.
Continues to Threat
Although far down in the
standings by virtue of heart
rending losses, Central continues
to be a threat in the series. BY
that we mean the Mt. Pleasant
erS have the sort Of power to up
and Smite any rival at any time.
Thus it wouldn't be surprising
to see the Ray-coached machine
trample Roosevelt today. Billy
Vermillion and Charlie Clark
certainly will be in there fight
ing every inch of the way, while
Sam Fox, Felix SilverStein,
Ralph Matera and Hymie Gold
blatt will be on deck to lend help
ing hands.
Eastern's contest against Wood
row Wilson should give the boys
a chance to get back on their
feet, so to speak, following Tues
days gruelling extra-period loss
to Western.
The Parkers still are definitely
marked for the title, and promise
to make a battle Of it, despite
the opposition expected in the
stretch.
