McGiII Staple Index
Up Slightly in Week
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special Dlspatch TO Inc Star.
AUBURNDALE, Mass, March O.
The index of all commodities COM
piled by the McGill Commodity
Service, Inc, strengthened slightly
during the first week in March, and
on March 8 was placed at 7O.9 as
against 706 a week earlier. and 73.5
at the beginning of the year.
Major strength was noted in the
livestock index. Of the IA commod-
ity groups comprising this index, 6
were higher. 5 lower, and remain
unchanged from the previous week S
levels.
The industrial index declined frac-
tionally. Lower prices were noted
for build materials, and fine and
coarse textiles. Weakness in those
groups was more than offset by
minor strength in hides and leather,
non-ferrous metals. paint materials,
paper and pulp, and vegetable oils.
The agricultural index was also
lower as compared with week-earlier
levels. In this group, wheat, oats,
faxseed and butter were slightly
stronger. but the index was pulled
down by weakness in barley, rye,
cotton, eggs, beans and wool.

Associated Press Financial Writer.
NEW YORK, March 9.-Prospects
of important European develop
ments over the week end were given
the principal blame today for a
spotty stock market.
The list steadied at the start, but
turned irregular as the brief session
proceeded Declines of fractions to
around point were we'll distributed
at the close, although a few airlines
and motor equipments worked
higher.
While there were occasional active
f1urries, dealings frequently came to
a standstill. Transfers were in the
neighborhood of 250,000 shares for
the two hours.
A fair amount of business optimism
remained in Wall Street, but In
creased tension over the Russian
Finnish peace move was said to
have caused some traders to shelve
commitments and was a decidedly
restrictive influence so far as po-
tential buyers were concerned.
Bonds and commodities were
mixed.
Backward stocks most of the time
several stiffened at the finish
were Douglas Aircraft. Glenn Mar

lehem Steel, Allied Chemical, Ana

solldated Edison, Santa Fe.

1910 top, along with Packard. Amer
ican Airlines and Eastern Airlines.
Supported also were Southern Pa
cific. Pennsylvania, Eastman Kodak,
j. c. Penney, Montgomery Ward,
General Electric, American Can and
Standard Oil of New Jersey.
Impeding the steels were forecasts
OF another drop next week in mill
operations. Some disappointment
was expressed by those who had ex-
pected production in this industry
to turn upward by the middle of
March. Most observers now believe
the forward switch may be DELAYED
until well into April, with the out
put rate dropping to so per cent or
lower before the tide is stemmed.
Automotive accessory stocks were
relatively lively, especially those of
companies able to handle airplane
equipment manufacturing as a side
line. The thought here was that If
the talked-of British-French order
for $1,000 100000 worth of new
planes materializes, part will seep
into the motor equipment concerns.
Nibbling at shares of several air.
lines was understood to reflect re-
ports of heavy passenger traffic
lately with visions now entertained
of a substantial Jump in earnings
for the air carriers.
In the curb Standard Oil of Ohio
added more than 2 to its 3-point
advance of yesterday. Posting mod
est gains also were Sentry Safety
Control, st. Regis Paper and Lake
Shore.

ROANOKE, Va, March 9.-Re-
porting gains in gross operating,
freight and passenger train reve-
nues, the Norfolk e. Western Rail-
way announced its net income of
S30001 .237 in 1889 was S9.987 ,551

PITTS HORNETS
 NEXT FOR EAGLES

New Haven, Nov. 6-Given time to get his lines working smoothly, player coach Earl Robinson has al- ready put the New Haven Eagles through two stiff workouts this week, and will conclude preparations for a pair of weekend encounters by sending his charges through prac- tices on Thursday and Friday.
 The Eagles travel to Philadelphia on Saturday night to face the re- juvenated Ramblers, while on Sun- day night the Pittsburgh Hornets in- wade the Arena, being the first club in the western division to show here
 The Eagles came through a pair of deadlocks with the Springfield h. dians without any serious injuries George Mantha, right winger, has a slight bone bruise on the right knee, but will be ready for Saturday.
 Art Lesieur, burly defenseman, formerly of Providence, will be in a Pittsburgh uniform, while the Hor- nets also purchased Hugh Gustaf- son and Lloyd Roubell from Phila- delphia.
 Robinson plans to use the same formations which he had on the ice for the pair of games last weekend with Springfield.

MEET WILEY ON SATURDAY P. Mi.
 CROSByVSD DERBY
DOuble-Header at Munici- pal Stadium; Morning
 Game Booked

Determined to go "all out" for the city high school championship this week Saturday, Leavenworth High Schools Tech Tigers of the football Armament, with nice rest since October 26 need only a tie with Wilby Saturday afternoon at the Municipal Stadium to have first claim on the city championship, though a win will give 1t to them on a platter, as they have already beaten Crosby 8 to 6.
 Of course, the task will be no easy one for two big reasons the first of which is that Wilby is a better team than Crosby this year, though they didn't prove it against Torrington yesterday. The New City club beat Crosby 60 and hung a 1920 shutout on Wilby. The second and major handicap of Leavenworth is the loss of its captain Frank Lazesky, out with a broken leg, resulting from a pile-up in the Gilbert game at Win Sted, situation which figures to weaken them against Wilby, though they may play the kind of inspired football Army played against Notre Dame, knock off Wilby and bag the first city football crown of the schools short but colorful grid his- tory dating back no longer than two years.
 Morning Game
 Crosby, having shaken off the nightmare in Naugatuck, will come up with a fighting team scheduled to tangle with undefeated Derby High Saturday morning in the Nun icipal Stadium. The kickoff is set for 10:15 o'clock and there will be Derby band of 50 pieces on hand to provide entertainment for the crowd CD and encouragement for the team from lower Naugatuck valley, which has yet to be beaten.
 Therefore, high school football followers in Waterbury have a double e-header in town Saturday, Crosby Derby in the morning; Wilby and Leavenworth in the afternoon.

TORRINGTON ii
 TAMES WILBY'S
 WILDCATS 12-O
Locals Blow Early Chance to Score; Kunkewicz
 Outstanding

Four yards from a touchdown in the first five minutes of play, and four downs to make it is very nice situation for any football team to be in, especially one that has won four of five games, yet Wilby's high school array could not make 1t, and eventually were shut out 12 to o yesterday afternoon at Municipal Stadium by a Torrington high school team sparked by a very acc curate forward paSser, "Whitey" Kunkewicz From the opening kick off, Wilby tore through Torrington like sharp knife through butter, Kruse, Duncan and Salvatore "car- rying the mail" to the four yard line, but they were then stopped cold lost the balls on down yard from the goal-line and from then on 1t was Torrington all the way:
 Great Boot
 Torrington had to kick out of its end zone, when it took the ball on downs and Kunkiewicz made a great kick for a high school boy the ball sailing over the head of the Wilby safety man and rolling almost to the 30 yard line, the boot travel ing close to 30 yards before 1t was picked up. Wilby could not score through the line, tried but one pass in the first half which was inter- cepted, as Torrington marched from its own 35 to the Wilby goal, passes by Jukkiewicz and some nifty off, tackle smashing and an end run or two by Breen, Crosse and Marola, the latter scoring from the two yard line after a great end sweep. Torrington missed the try for point after touchdown when 1t called kick formation which proved to be 8 short pass toward the end zone which was intercepted by an alert Wilby. Tn the third period Torring- ton drove from the 50 yard line which ended in another touchdown as Sullivan snared a Kunkiewicz pass on the ten yard line and logged over the payoff lines. There was not Wilby man within feet of the eligible receiver.
 Torrington made IA first downs and completed l2 of it's '24 passes, a very high average though few of the passes were very long. Wilby made eleven first down and finished against second string team from the New City. Kruse popped up the Wilby rooters in the final period when he galloped 38 yards, but that was flash, as Torrington wound up with the ball inside the Wilby 10 when the game was concluded. Summary:
