Long Key, owned by E. ] Merkle,

They are all aert on getting those

every man Is hearing down in the

PITCHING IMPROVED
The hitters have been coming
to life and the pitchers are fol-
lowing suit. The latest to show
some pitching of a classic order
is Russ Bauers, who let the Cards
down with two hits yesterday for
10 shutout. Moreover, he car
ried over the lone run of the game.
The Pirates thus held their 6la-
game lead over the jittery Giants,
who barely managed to nose out
the Bees, 5 to 4. The Giants kicked
l. in with four errors and didn't

Larry French had a SiX-hit shut
out up his sleeve and the Cubs
moved into third place with 10

Reds. Rip Collins homer would

Meanwhile aid and encour-

had gotten around that WIFFY
COX out at Congressional had
been approached by Junior
Chamber of Commerce mem
bers with a plan to hold a S., 900
District Open at that club.
Status of the plan is as
follows:
BOB HARVEY, head of ath-
letic activities of the Junior
Chamber of Commerce, and no
mean golfer in his own right
has unofficially been commls-
stoned to shop around among
the various clubs in the vicinity
of Washington for permission
to use their layout. So lar ne
has chatted with W1FFY COX
out at Congressional. He has
vet to tackle Indian Spring and
Manor, which would seem to be
the logical nexts on the list.
When MR.. HARVEY has his
data assembled, he will report
back to the board of directors
of the Junior Chamber of Com
merce for official action.
What Washington golf needs
right now is a return to the
big-time golf that went out
with the last National Capital

British Pound Hits
Lowest Point Since
September Crisis
Continued Gold Flow
Likely, With Dollar
In Strong Demand
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-Wall
Streets foreign exchange machinery
felt today heavy burden of money
moving from Europe to New York
both to pay for merchandise bought
here and to provide refuge for
capital.
The British pound, bearing the
main weight of the transatlantic
money shift, sold in terms of the
American dollar at the lowest quo
tations since the September war
scare precipitated a record-break-
ing flight of capital to this country
At one time in today's Wall Street
dealings, which were adjusted to
market conditions in the European
financial centers, the pound was
quoted around $46612, off more than
cents from yesterdays closing
quotation. The French franc sagged
with the British currency.
Exchange men cited a combina-
ton OF forces making for pressure
on foreign exchange rates. The
anti-Jewish developments in Gen.
tral Europe were rated as a con-
trioutlng influence which expedited
the flow of capital out of Europe
and aggravated unbalance in inter-
national settlements resulting from
the United States huge surplus of
merchandise exports this year.
To make up for the difference
between merchandise exports and
imports, foreign countries have had
to ship gold here and use LIQUID
banking funds to support their cur
rencies.
Bankers looked for a continued
now OF gold to New York, despite the
TACT more than $1OOO,0OO, 900 came
under the impact of the war-fright-
ened capital shift late in the sum-
mer and in October.
So large was the demand for dol
lars, exchange traders said, the Brit
lsh stabilization fund apparently
lowered its support points in hope
1t would find a stronger level for de-
tense of the currency.
Speculation for the decline, traders
said, evidently had been encouraged
by the steep fall in sterling this year
from above IS and gossip in finan-
cial centers that the pound was
headed lower to find a more nat
ural' relationship with the dollar.
Some exchange experts have con-
sidered the pound "overvalued" in
comparison with the dollar, which
is backed by the big merchandise ex-
port surplus and the greatest gold
supply the world has seen assembled
in custody of one agency.
The United States Treasury's gold
stock is nearing $14,2O0,OOO0 900, we'll
