Stock Prices Follow
Irregular Course
In Dull Session
Scattered Motors, Rails
And SpeeioIties Rise
Fractions to ST
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial writer

NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-The stock
market worked on starvation diet
today and, while numerous issues
lacked even semblance of recovery
strength, scattered motors, rails and
specialties managed to reach higher
ground.
Uneven tendencies prevailed at the
start and the direction remained
foggy at the close. Gains ranged
from fractions to a point for
favorites. Declines were narrow for
the most part, although a few wider
setbacks were in evidence.
Transfers of around 350,00O shares
were among the smallest since last
June.
Wall Street hunted unsuccessfully
for something outstandingly bullish
in the war news and, with Japa-
nese thrusts continuing in the
Southwest Pacific, and MacArthur's
position in the Philippines becom-
ing more hazardous, customers with
buying inclinations inclined to step
lightly. A little bidding here and
there was credited to another batch
of good industrial and railway in
come compilations and the belief
that an oversold condition existed in
several share departments.
Stocks on the advancing side the
greater part of the time-some
failed to follow through-were West
ern Union, American Can, General
Motors. Chrysler. Southern Pacific,
Pennsylvania. Southern Railway,
Great Northern, North American,
Sears, Roebuck; Douglas Aircraft,
Dow Chemical and Union Carbide.
Allied Chemical and Du Pont
touched new lows for the move.
The former was off about points.
Du Pont eventually revived.
Bond Prices Narrow.
The bond market adhered to a
narrow price range and, except for
a moderate demand for some rails
at slightly higher levels, the trend
was mixed at the start of the final
hour.

MAJORS STAY HOME

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-UP)-
The entire spring training program
OF the major league baseball clubs
faced drastic revisions today and
possibility of postponement of the
seasons opening developed as five
clubs planned a switch to condi-
tioning sites close to home.
The New York Giants. St. Louis
Cardinals and New York Yankees
followed a c4-hour-old move by the
Brooklyn Dodgers. by abandoning
their 1913 Florida training camps 10
help curtail wartime transportation
problems. The Philadelphia Ath-
leticS announced plans to train at
Savannah, Ga, several days ago.
A letter from Commissioner Ken
esaW NJ. Lands requesting all ma
jor league clubs to arrange spring
bases further north to acquiesce to
a demand by ODT Director Joseph
E Eastman for less uneSsential
travel in 1913 made the Giants cut
loose from their Miami, Fla, camp
Imperial Valley press., 1942-12-23

To never have had a thing is
better TO have had it and then lost
! it.
| AT least that's our humble opin-
ion about the matter. We refer, of
course, to the passing of Ell Centre
as a spring conditioning grounds
| by the Pittsburgh Pirate baseball
club and the decision of many big
league teams to move their spring
headquarters closer to home.
When the Pirates decided to
again retain San BernardinO for
spring training in 1913, the fans
of this area were naturally more
than little disappointed.
They had looked forward to
playing host 20 the Buc> ana per-
haps even baSking a little in the
publicity limelight which follows
well-knOwn organization or per-
SOnage.
The city of Ell Centre had already
gone to great expense to put in an
extra large dressing room to ac-
commodate the squad and had they
decided to come here the city dads
would probably have spent even
more on the municipal stadium.
But now it looks as II the Pirates
may be forced, as a matter of good
taste, to give up San Bernardino
for this season. The Philadelphia
Athletics, the Brooklyn Dodgers,
New York Giants, st. Louis Cardi-
nails and the New York Yankees
have all announced plans to move
spring camps from Florida to sites
closer TO home because of the war
time transportation problems.
Florida is much nearer TO the
major leaguerS' homes than Cali
fOrnia.
The other teams that normally
make the west their spring camp,
the Chicago Cubs, White Sox, etc,
have not yet announced a decision
to move homeWard but it is expected
momentarily.
