revival of American industry to the highest levels in decade.
 War Upsets Profits
 Tcp-grade bonds, led by the U. s. treasury list, cracked widely as the war raised imitation fears. Later they recovered most of the loss. Lcwer-rated corporate issues im- proved with expansion of business earnings.
 Ordinary financial calculations went out the window when the guns began to roar again in Europe and major sectors of the worlds economy knuckled down to wartime controls
 Plainly visible in the initial con- fusion were hints of far-reaching business adjustment to war condi- tions and further concentration of money power in the United States. Symbol of the westward trek of money to the safety of the United States was the nations $17,500, ,000- 900 gold hoard, greatly augmented in 1889 by the pell-mell flight of capital from war-scarred Europe.
 No Shutdown This Time
 To financial observers it was a year of contrasts.
 First of all was the contrast in
 
 the way the Wall Street machinery withstood the impact of this war in comparison with the Stock Ex- change suspension for five months at the outset of the 1914-18 con- flict.

European liquidation to obtain cash for war supplies seemed at worst to act only as a retarding force in recent months.
 Wall Street dealings languish-
 ed while industry at Pittsburgh,
 Birmingham and other centers
 thr0bbed wit h activity under
 the spur of war, huying. com.
 bined with the usual seasonal
 upturn after Labor Day and the natural recovery" from the
 depression.
 There were brisk trading spurts during the early September upsurge, on a short lived mid-year upswing and during tremors of selling in acute spring and summer periods of tension abroad preceding the German march into Poland.
 Little Business in Stocks
 But 1889 stock transactions, ap- proximating 26O0OO,0OO shares, were the smallest since 1923. Bond turn over, increased by record breaking trading in Government issues on the September break, expanded about $200,000,000 over the 1888 figure to around $2,0OO,000,00O.
 Stock Exchange listed share val ues dropped from SAT, ,490, 100000 on Jan. 1 to $40,673 100000 on May 1, partly yielding 1888 gains. Markets in March and April trembled at the crisis resulting from the German sweep to Prague. The Septmeber boom lifted share values to $47,- 440 100000 on Oct l from 41,652,- 100000 at the start of September.
 AS traders aped the "standstill" war on the Western front, stocks in October and November relinquished part of the September gans. But industrial indices climbed rapidly. Thus the year was pretty much of a stand-off in stocks, with year end prices not far from closing 1888 levels except in individual issues.
 Government Keeps on Spending
 Other contrasts in the variegated financial picture were:
 Corporate financing remained small while U. s. Government spend- ing continued at record peace-time figures and Washington emphasis shifted from relief outlay to defense and long-range investment" and leanding.
 Allied war purchases, aside from airplanes, were small as warning powers sought to conserve dollar exchange; the war caused record- breaking domestic buying waves fin metals and textiles.
 Through the pre-war months. the dread of another world conflict hung heavy over the markets. Holland. Sweden, and Switzerland joined England in shifting gold reserves cO tiio COullJIy. r
 Excess Reserves'--as bankers
 dub idle credit-topped S5,50O,-
 900 in October, making a foun-
 dation for many billions of dol
 lars in bank loans and invest
 ments.
 A temporary influence in the cred- It situation was Federal Reserve purchase of nearly s4O0, ,ooO 900 in government securities to cushion the war break in bonds. A nearly eoui- valent sum was resold from the Fed- eral Reserve portfolio on the mar kets rebound,
 The enormous credit surplus fa- cilitated continued large-scale treas. ury borrowing to finance Federal deficit spending, running at the rate of $25o,oOO,oOO or more month- ly.

 After the tremendous swings in security prices from 1929 into 1888, stocks and bonds set a relatively narrow course. The share market, particularly, in the final months gnf 1899, seemed benumbed by the struggle for power in Europe.
 A brief war boom on the Stock Exchange in the frirst ten days of September was followed by repe tition of the uneasy, restricted fluc- tuations characteristic of the pre- war months, despite the autumn

Man Of the Decade

GUS little busy-body with a caseless
attack that wore his rivals down
and left them open for finishing
knockout blows. Henry was the
first man in boxing history ever
to hold three championships at
once-the featherweight, light
weight and welterweight crowns.
Dempsey Ruled EOS.
Another heavyweight, Jack Demp-
sey, was boxings man of the 20s.
He was champion for seven years.
Like Louis, he was a murderous
puncher, but he fought with fury
that Louis usually lacks. His title
bouts were few and far between.
Louis has defended his crown more
in two years than Dempsey did in
seven. Money was looser in Demp-
sey's day and Jack attracted five
separate million-d gates, one
of more than two million.
His battle with Firpo, in which
Jack was knocked out of the ring
but returned to kayo the Argen-
tine, stands as the most furious
bout in ring history among the big
men.
Louis certainly compares favor
ably with Dempsey. Whether he
is a greater fighter is something
that could be argued without de-
cision for months. In our book
Dempsey would have beaten him

bay. Brushing aside Schmeling' S
defensive armor as though the
Teuton's arms were made of papier-
mache, Louis dubbed him, punched
him, mauled him. There was no
escaping this suddenly battle-crazed
animal. In little more than 2 min
utes the fight was over.
Joe Reaches Great Heights.
For those exciting seconds Louis
was perhaps the greatest fighting
man the world has ever seen. That
was Joe at his peak.
He was a clever, sure artist of the
ring making every thrust count on
the nights he finished John Henry
Lewis and Jack Roper in less than a
round. He was almost unbelievably
powerful in the fourth round that
was Galento's Waterloo. He was a
mervelous boxer and puncher in
all his fights. But only against
Schmeling was he filled with rage
No heavyweight champion has
defended his crown as often and
as successfully as Louis. Seven of
his eight rivals were knocked out
Only two lasted more than five
rounds. Only one, Tommy Farr,
went the distance. He was box
ing's man of the decade.

Mcleod Faces Tough
Going in Defense
OF Golf Crown
BY the Associated Press,


SARASOTA, Fla, Jan. 13.-Some
three-score professional golfers in
their SOS or older, but who still can
wham the ball, started out today in
pursuit of the national P. G. A.
seniors championship.
1t was no place for buffers, for the
field included players who were stars
of their day, still capable of giving
Old Man Par battle.
Among the leading contenders
were Long Jim" Barnes of West
Orange, N. j., just turned So; Jock
Hutchison of Golf, ILL.,, 1888 winner,
and Freddie Mcleod of Columbia
Country Club, Chevy Chase, Md, in
his late SOS, defending champion.
The oldest contestant was 75-year-
old Val Flood of New Britain, Conn.
Hutchison, 57-year-old former
United States and British Open
champion, picks Barnes as the IA
vorite; Barnes also is a former Brit
ish open champion and three time
winner of the Western Open.
McLeold and w. C. Sherwood,
Memphis, Tenn, turned in a best
ball score of 81, three under par, in
four-ball event yesterday.
Willie MCGUIRE of Houston, Tex,
treasurer Of the P. G. A., contributed

The Purple outfit has split even in
six games and often has shown
definite class. Roosevelt, currently
tied with Eastern, Western and Will

Dewitt. Back from 36-to-l8

High Court Peak
Tech Soes as Big Red
Team Presses; Tigers
Trip Anocostio
BY ROBERT HENRY.

Western, sole team to stop East
ern's championship march In the
last six years in public high basket
ball play, and Woodrow Wilson, re-
garded by some as the most danger
GUS team in the title race, today are
sharing the top perch with Eastern
and Roosevelt in the titular series
which promises plenty of upsets be-
fore the crown is awarded.
Performing before the biggest high
school crowd of the season, Western
last night beat Tech, 30-16, and Will
son came from behind in the last
few minutes to nose out Anacostia,
1920.
Westerns Power Uncertain.
Whether Western may be regarded
as tough as 1t was three years ago
when the Red Raiders beat out East
ern for the title remains to be seen
for Tech failed to impress as a
worthy opponent last night.
In winning its first interhigh game
for its sixth victory of the season,
Western in the first half appeared
cautious and afraid to open up, but
after finding Tech lacking it put on
a rally that had 1t far in the lead
at the final gun. The half time
score was 8-6 in Westerns favor,
but from then on the winners i'm
proved as the losers appeared to lose
heart.
No less than 13 free throws failed
to connect for Tech, although half
OF its points were from foul tosses.
Jimmy Karas and Harold Mitchell
tailed l3 points between them to
lead the Western attack.
