NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-The stock
market suffered mild case of chills
today and leading issues were shaken
down fractions to around points.
Slightly irregular prices appeared
at the start. Trends then turned
downward in light dealings. De-
clines were at or near the worst in
the final hour. A few recoveries
were in evidence at the close.
Volume picked up a bit as the
and transfers approximated $4,000
shares.
An assortment of good business
items and fairly optimistic tone
to war dispatches failed to bring
in much support for pivotal stocks.
Curbing potential buyers, brokers
said, was the desire to await clari-
fication of the Presidents comment
when he left Warm Springs that he
would be back in March IF the
world survives
On top of this was the appeal of
Defense Commissioner Knudsen to
machine tool manufacturers to speed
up output. Considered somewhat
ominous was his warning that IF ,
you could see as do from the inside
the terrible urgency of the situa-
ton, you would agree with me that
am not asking too much"
Jones & Laughlin preferred
jumped to new years top in the
forenoon on reports the company
might consider revamping its capl-
tai in order to take care of accrued
dividends on this issue amounting
to more than $40 share. The stock
later backed away when banking
circles suggested the senior issue
would have to await completion Of
bond refundings.
Steels almost ignored an uneX-
pected upturn of 08 of point in
this weeks mill operations due to
revision in Pittsburgh production
since last Saturday.
Reynolds Tobacco "B" dipped to
a new 1910 bottom. Prominent on
the offside were United States Steel,
Bethlehem, Chrysler, International
Harvester, American Telephone,
American Smelling, Eastman Kodak,
j. C. Penny, Union Carbide and

Chicago Grain
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Dec. 16.-Losses that
amounted to almost cents a bushel
at times today carried May and July
wheat contracts to the lowest level
since November and December de-
liveries to the lowest point in almost
three weeks.
General liquidation and stop-loss
selling was blamed largely on the
favorable domestic crop situation,
with additional moisture received
over the week end in many sections
of the winter wheat belt. Reports
of increased country marketings at
some points and continued tagging
consumer demand also were bearish
factors. July wheat. representing
the new 1941 crop. which will be
harvested late in May, fell to Just
above IS cents a bushel, almost 80
cents lower than year ago.
Wheat closed Fila cents lower
than Saturday, December $751;,

SOLID FRONT PROPOSED

The first proposal to reach pub
LEGATION is a plan TO form an all
American corporation or cartel to
buy up with United States dol
lars the SURPRISES in the United
States and Latin America, a n
force European bargainers to deal
with solid front of American
nations-instead of picking off bus
mess men and nations one at a
time and playing them against
each other.
If that all-American corpora
ton is formed in Havana this
summer and gets down to business
and reaction in Latin America is
universally favorable-the Hitler
economic bloc in Europe won't be
able to get what it wants on its
own terms.
The British Empire is not
available, as yet, as a reservoir
of supply. Russia hasn't enough
raw materials for her own needs,
and her political tack of recent
weeks indicates she wouldn't send
them to the rest of Europe under
Hitler even il she had SURPRISES
So that leaves the American ma
lions as the best source of supply
for Europe
American foreign policy max

people of Europe. But if Ameri-
can surpluses are going to be used
for relief in Europe, they want
them so labelled and hope tc
make Hitler tell the people who
receive American relief that his
system did not produce theil
food
Unofficially and American rep

been told by the German under
secretary of Agriculture that Ger

1t takes fast runner with a
strong throwing arm to be an out
fielder. He also must be able to
judge fly balls and play bounding
grounders.
These are the requisites. A n d
whether you are just another fly
chaser or an exceptional outfielder
depends on your quick starts, know
ledge of opposing hitters and abil-
tity to always peg to the right
base.
An outfielder should study ri
val batters almost as much as the
pitcher and catcher. Then he will
know how to play every hitter.
Some batters are pull hitters. y
Others are "straight-away hit
tiers" or opposite field hitters. "
BY studying the hitting habits of
opponents you'll know wher e
they generally will hit curve OF
fast ball, high or low ball, inside
or outside pitch.
Get Under Flies Quickly
This information. plus t h e
knack of getting off after a ball
at the crack of the bat, often
means the difference between a
hit and a putout. 1t is best to get
under fly ball quickly and al
ways keep the ball in front of
you. This prepares you for any
tricks the ball may play in the
wind as it comes down
AS every hitter comes to bat
you should consider the situation
and decide in advance where the
ball should be thrown if it is hit
to your field A good catch or stop
doesn't mean much if the out
fielder then throws to the wrong
base.
Outfielders should throw over
hand Keep your pegs low and
aim them SO they reach the catch
or or infielder on the first bounce,
except on short relays.
Where to Throw
On long fly balls with the bases
filled. throw to second. providing
the runner on first is tagged up"
That means if he is in position to
run to second after the catch. If
the runner at second is tagged
| up" and the runner at first is not,
you should throw to third
On short flies the ball can be
thrown to the plate, if there is a
runner on third With a man on
first, singles near the foul lines
should be thrown to third. On
hit and run plays the ball is nearly
always thrown to second base.
The left, center and right field
ers should always back up third,
second and first base respectively,
to guard against any wild throws
that might get away.
If you want to develop into a
good outfielder, you must always
be on your toes, quick to shift
your defense to meet the individual
hitter at the plate
