NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-Although
many stock market leaders acted
tired today, following their swift

managed to continue the forward
swing
Profit taking in steels, motors and

last-minute cash" tax selling, tend
ed to give the list spotty appear
ance after fairly firm opening.
Dealings dWindled substantially on
the development of irregular trends.
Transfers approximated 100000

Despite the uneven price per-
formance, number of favorites
succeeded in penetrating new high
territory for the year. Losses, in
the majority of cases, were held to
minor fractions.
Wall Street continued optimistic
toward 1889 business prospects, but
speculative forces, in view of the
recent rebound and the approach
of another lengthy holiday-after
tomorrow the Stock Exchange will
recess until Tuesday-apparently
decided to take home some of their
gains and await the coming of the
new year.

Lash to Race in
FeLUer Mile Tests

NEW YORK, Jan. II O.N.S).
Don Lash, the barrel-chested In
diana distance runner, tossed q
miniature monkey wrench into
plans of indoor track meet pro-
motors before he departed for
home with a GIL two-mile vic
tory at the Sixty-ninth Regiment
Armory to his credit. The Hoosier
proposes to cut down on one-mile
races this winter.
Believing himself in the best
January form of his career, Lash
wants to make capital of it with
a series of assaults on his world
indoor two-mile mark of 1858.
Whatever doubts he held concern.
ing his condition were removed
by his first triumph of the board
floor campaign Saturday. Despite
the 80 difficult turns in the 20-lap
race, his time was the second best
ever fashioned on an armory floor.
"I hope to break my record this
season, but that doesn't neceSSari'
ly mean I'll do it, he said. II feel
stronger and faster than I was
last year at this time, and I'm
going to make a try at it.
"There is a possibility I will run
in the Millrose mile, but there's
no sense kidding about it. That's
not my distance indoors. The
best winning one-mile race I've
run on boards was 4:14 in Boston
For some reason, I can't seem to
get into the swing at that distance
don't see why and I'm none toe
anxious to find out.
TN my present shape, might
make few good miles races, but
I doubt whether I could hit a rec
ord if I had to, and there's good
chance that records may be neces
sary with San Romani, Cunning
ham and Venzke going the way
they are. There's enough for me
to take care of at two miles"

Fdrr Will Fight Champ
In September-Wdlsh.
Should Beat
BraddOCk
Easily
By DAVIS J. WALSH

international News Service Sports Editor
NEW YORK, Jan. II U.N.SO
I hereby am chosen by myself to
reveal that Tommy Farr will fight
for the world heavyweight cham
pionship again next September.
Nobody likes Farr. Actually,
the fellow has something on the
ball personally, which convinces
me that he might very well be a
man of destiny. For further
reference, would commend you
to Mr.. Gene Tunney. who couldn't
fight too much, but just GOOD
enough to beat the world heavy
weight champion, nee Jack
Dempsey.
On Friday night Farr will meet
James j. Braddock. On Friday
night he will beat James ]. Brad
dock, provided he can get used TO
those strange creaks in the former
champions joints in the early
rounds and not be too d1Scon-
Certed by same.
KIND HE CAN PUNCH
Mr. Braddock by now has the
Spread.legged technique. Mr.. Farr
virtually a furry of gloves from
first to last-can punch that kind
around. Therefore, the result OF
Friday nights bout would seem to
be more or less ordained.
Now that we have disposed OF
Mr.. Braddock, one former cham
pion, we will move on to Mr.. Max
Baer, another former champion,
the point being that inaSmuch as
Farr has whipped Mr.. Braddock as
Of next Friday night, he gets Mr..
Baer q few wesk hence. In the
latter connection I need only TO
remind you that only few months
ago, Farr had Mr.. Baer stepping
in holes, blacked his eye and an
noyed him no end in winning a
one-sided decision. That quite
definitely should settle that.
MIGHT WIND UP WITH TITLE
The whole thing proves only one
thing-that a muddling fighter
like Farr might wind up with the
heavyweight championship.
However, in that connection I
don't think he could beat Joe
Louis, the current champion, on
the best day he ever saw, nor do
I think he can beat Max Schme-
ling, in case Schmeling should win
the title from Louis next June.
But inasmuch as I've already
whipped Mr.. Braddock and Mr..
Baer for him, perhaps he can ar
range to take care of the rest Of
the program for himself.

Wimsatt. "Just try sitting still
for four hours.
After DR.. LaSker lost to Capa-
blanca in championship match,
he rested for two years and re-
turned to win a masters tourna-
ment, defeating the Cuban mas
ter among others :"
BELT PRAISES LASKER
Irving Belt, a chess enthusiast
of the District, added his. voice to
q recital of DR.. Lasker's achieve
"LaSker covered the span
from the classical school to the
ultra-modern," Belt said. 1.-THE
classical, or romantic school, in
which Andersen and Morphy
were high priests, loved the
open type Of game, the gambits
on the Kings side, seeking an
immediate issue with a massing
of forces against the caStled
King. Steinitz was the pre-
cursor of the ultra+modernistS.
He had little use for the ro-
mantle line of play, terming it,
in effect, magnificent, but not
war. He taught the theory Of
striving for minute advantages,
a slow building-up of a position
impregnable to assault, from
which, at the proper time, =
winning attack would issue.
while Steinitz never played
against Morphy, he tore An
derSSen's brilliantly imaginative
combinations to pieces. Lasker
is equally at home in these two
types Of game. Steinitz' close
defense to the Ruy Lopez was
utterly demolished in their
match games; against such an
open game as the Evans he
showed the gambit pawn could
successfully be taken. But it is
primarily as an end game player
that his memory will be green
as long as the game endureS."
