Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1l.-Rallying
commodities helped put little back
bone in the stock market today and
fair sized buying came in for an
assortment of specialties.
While many leaders clung to q
narrow groove, favorities were lifted
fractions to point or so and few
wider swings were scored. Dealings,
fast at intervals, slackened in the
final hour and closing quotations
were under the best in most cases.
Transfers for the full proceeding
were around 100000 shares.
In addition to the comeback in
staples, which dipped yesterday on
the proposal to release Government
held farm products as means OF
halting soaring prices, securities
seemed to have been aided by a
moderately better brand of foreign
news. The business picture remained
more or less encouraging.
The right-about in the commod-
ity division was attributed to the
belief any attempt to restrain climb
ing agricultural trends might meet
with serious opposition in Congress.
In the international scene some
comfort was derived from the fact
the Reds we're out-claiming the
Nazis anent the battles of the
steppes and reports an agreement
between the United States and Ja-
pan might be nearer than generally
expected.
Brokerage customers, at the same
time, inclined to keep the bullish
urge within bounds pending the
Presidents broadcast tonight.
Shares of United States Rubber
common and preferred jumped l to
5 points, respectively, touching new

Recruits From Southern Loop
Scarce In Roundup For 1871
Atlanta's Alf Anderson,
ShOrtstOp, Prize Of
Small Crop
BY FLOYD YoUNT
Associated Press Sports Writer

ATLANTA, March 12.-Hard-
hitting shortstops are rare and
perhaps that's why the Pitts
burgh Pirates paid a fancy price
for ALT Anderson of Atlanta even
though they had star like Floyd
Vaughan on hand.
Anderson banged out a .35l
hickory mark and, while there
isn't much chance of Vaughan be-
ing shifted, the Pirates may try
70 make a third baseman out OF
Alt. If he can nat anything like
that in the majors he'll be too
valuable to park on the bench.
Southern association major
league prospects are scarce this
spring.
The Reds are looking at a
handful-Infielder Charles Ale
no, Carbon DelSavio and Joe
Mack, and Outfielders Mike De-
jan and Albert Mele from Birm-
ingham but their chances are
none too bright
The Giants drafted Pitcher Ace
Adams from the league champion
Nashville club. He won 13 and
lost 5. The Athletics will give
Luman Harris, who copied Is
while losing for Atlanta, an OPP
portunity to make the grade.
Knoxville sent Pitchers Jack
Brewer and Bob Carpenter and
Infielder George Wyatt to the
Giants. Outfielder Floyd Yount
of Little Rock went to the Pirates
and Catcher Charles George of
Nashville to the Cubs.
The Red Sox are taking anoth-
er look at Pitcher Bill Sayles of
Little Rock.

HAYES RETURNS
TO LOCAL RING
OPP EMIT PATTON WON
NUMBER OF STARTS
IN MIAMI

A ten-round battle between
Clyde Hayes and Jack Patton,
welters, along with the inaugu-
ration of amateur boxing here,
features Cecil Carbonelrs Friday
night fight program at the I ST.
monitor and Front street arena. g,
Hayes, lanky youngster who
swings them from far back, made
his first appearance here win
ming one by knocking out Billy
Breedlove last week, while Pat
ton is unknown in this section.
Patton has campaigned in
rings around his native Phila-
delphia for several years, how
ever, and Carbonell, says he has
learned the fighter made several
winning starts in Miami this
winter.
With the annual Golden Gloves
tournament ending this month in
New York, Carbonell plans to
groom local amateurs for a shot
at next years elimination.
1T will take at least a year to
get things running smoothly and
train some of these boys to a
point where they will have a
chance in the big show, Car
bonell explained today.
Fighters will be classed accord
ing to their experience in the
amateur Examinations and profess
sional fighters will be available
to give them instructions and
practice in the training sessions.
The Friday night program will
have no connection with the
amateur tournament. but Car
bonell hopes to arouse interest
among local fighters with their
first taste of simon-pure battling.
