decision of London brokers not to
quote American securities was inter-
preted in Wall Street as indicating
primarily that business in American
issues would not be solicited.
New York Stock Exchange houses
with London Offices said they had
not been advised of details of the
decision. but did not understand
It meant discontinuance of business
In American issues.
Some Wall Streeters interpreted
the move as meaning the British
capital market would soon be called
upon for large loans for the British
rearmament program and that the
authorities wanted as much money
on hand at home as possible to care
for the demands.
A month ago, it was learned,
British investment trusts meeting
with Sir John Simon, chancellor of

had spent the night off the village
of st. Jean.
The big white liner headed up

of horns from motor cars parked
along the shores. Many motorists
had slept in their cars all night to
be on hand to see the royal ship pull
out.
Throngs began gathering on the
heights above Wolfe's cove before
daylight to get hird's-eye view of
the arrival. At different points on
the cliffs hundreds were Chamber

Canadian Mounted Police were or
dered to keep the area clear OF
struggling craft.

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 1.-Keeping

prop up their injury-riddled pitch

President Bill Benswanger and
Manager Pie Traynor silently stole
away on an off day to annex serv-

southpaw, who towers 9 inches above
the 6-foot altitude and tips the
scales at 2l5 pounds.
A Star at Syracuse.
The giant finger has been setting
the International League ablaze by
his brilliant performance with the
Syracuse club. He won II games
and lost IL. last year in his first full
campaign since leaving the Univer-
sity of Michigan. His record for
1889 is much more imposing, with Is
victories, 4 defeats, 80 strikeouts.
The Giants, Cubs, Yankees, Reds
and Senators were understood to be
on the hurler's trail, but Bens-
wanger's bid proved the most at
tractive. Cash in the deal report

SOUTHAMPTON, N. Y, Aug. l.
You could have bought Henry Pru-
soff's tennis career for two bits the
day four years ago when he fell and
broke his back and his hip.
Yesterday the Seattle boy threw a
bombshell into the first round of the
forty-ninth annual Meadow Club
invitation tournament by defeating
fourth-seeded Bryan (Bitsy) Grant,
Ga, 90.
Prusoff's Shots Daze Grant.
Not even the furor surrounding
the sudden Withdrawals of Frankie
Parker and Don McNeill, necessitat-
ing drawing completely new
bracket, could detract from Prusoff's S
conquest, for in eliminating Grant,
he beat the games best retriever
with battling trap shots and drops.
Whether accident or not, it is true
that Prusoff, originally a hard
hitter, has turned now to a tricky
game, one entirely out of keeping
with his magnificent frame. Grant,
who took Don Budge's best shots in
stride, appeared dazed by the Seattle
players wiles.
Other Favorites Survive.
Grants exit was the only one
among the seeded players, for the
remaining seven favorites advanced
with little difficulty, from top-seeded
Bobby Riggs, who smothered Chester
Murphy of Chicago. 6t, 60, down
to eighth-seeded Sidney Wood. who
disposed of j. M. Anderson of Los
Angeles, Ga, 81.
McNeill appeared at the club late
in the afternoon and denied the
Tournament Committees contention
that he had dropped out at the last
minute. Don said he told Dwight F.

early as Saturday afternoon that he
would not be available. Parker has
