chase in the National league.
The Pirate management, which
accompanied the team to Ell Centre
when Pittsburgh played a double
header against the White SoX in
the stadium two weeks ago, was
impressed by the splendid climatic
conditions offered and by the ac-
comodations provided by the base
ball park.
At the present time the matter
of finances is the only obstacle in
the path to obtain the Pirates for
the 1912 spring training season,
according to Mayor Robert Hatton.
The Pittsburgh management has
asked $4,000 to come to Ell Centro,
but city officials believed that fig
ure too high.
A compromise will be worked out
with the Pirates Hatton said, based
on a plan to bring three major
league teams to the valley for
games against the Pirates. In games
matching the Pirates with Chicago
Cubs. Chicago White SoX and the
Philadelphia Athletics, Hatton de-
clared, sufficient revenue could be
raised to slice the guarantee asked
by Pittsburgh.
Should a plan be consumated,
Hatton said, Pittsburgh would send
a groundSkeeper to El Centre in
December to start putting the park
in shape for the training season. A
new infield would be groomed and
other improvements would be made
in the outfield and dressing rooms.
Hatton declared the advantages
of having Pittsburgh train in the
valley would be far in advance of
the gains received by the presence
of Pacific Coast league team. The
city paid Seattle $500 TO train here
four years ago.
Pittsburgh President w. E. Bens-
Wanger, in a meeting with Hatton
and other city officials, said he
would seriously consider any COM
promise offer presented because the
National league club is anxious to
reap the benefits of training con-
ditions in the valley.

Tardy Bidding Helps
To Steady Parts Of
Stock Market
Many Issues Remain
Behind; SteeIs Get
Some Support
BY VICTOR EUBANK.
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-Tardy bid
ding helped steady parts of today's
stock market, but many leaders con-
tinued well out on a shaKy limb.
Steels drew some support, with
Bethlehem especially favored, and
tobaccos stiffened after an early re-
lapse. While plus signs were fairly
well distributed, declines of frac-
tons to point or so prevailed at
the close. Numerous issues went
into new low ground for the year
before help arrived.
Tax selling remained as one of
the important brakes on recovery,
brokers said. This, despite excep-
tionally slow intervals, put the days
volume TO around 100000 shares.
Another wide assortment of cheer
full dividends and earnings reports
propped scattered stocks, but were
virtually ignored by others. Some
speculative nibbling was due to the
belief the industrial average, within
reaching distance of the l941 bottom
established last April, was in a po-
sition to do brisk right-about.
Persisting as rallying handicaps
were doubts regarding the British
African campaign, the Russian de-
fense, the United StateS-Japanese
crisis, the labor question. taxes, Fed
eral restrictions and the congress
sional battle over price-control leg
iSlation.
