Few Stocks Improve,
But Most Leaders
Are Backward
Buying Timidity Loid
TO Cloudy Labor and
Tax Prospects
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

W
NEW YORK, May 22.-The stock
market today was mainly a stop
look-and-listen affair and. while
scattered steels, rails and specialties
made little headWay, numerous
leaders got nowhere.
Buying tiElldlty was blamed partly
on the cloudy union labor outlook
in the coal and motor fields. the
still far from settled tax situation
and the desire Of many customers
to await the next phase of the Allied
offensive in the world conflict. War
news, on the whole, while cheering
to the financial sector. seemed to
provide Scant purchasing inspiration.
The fact selling came out in mere
drlbletS was an encouraging sign
for bulllsh cOntingents The ticker
tape frequently was at a Standstir
throughout the brief proceedings
and transfers of less than 400 900
shares were among the smallest for
the year to date Near the close
small gains and losses were pretty
evenly divided and vide aSsort-
ment of issues held at Frlds-
levels.
Bonds and commodities MAIN
tanned a steady course.

BOSTON, May 22-Boston base
ball fans threw two fast strikes at
Eddie Joost even before he hit town
but today they're hailing him-and
rightfully so-as the sparkplug OF
the early season surge of the Bos-
ton Braves.
Eddie was distinctly behind the
eight ball when he came TO the
Braves in a winter trade with the
Cincinnati Reds for Eddie Miller
Filling the spacious shoes of Miller
was a man-sized task.
The fans. being accustomed to
Watching Miller handle his short
stop assignment with dashing splon-
dor, were prepared to be rather
surly at any interloper.
Asked for Job al Third.
To compllcate matters, the Braves
had an excellent shortstop prospect
in Whitley" Wletelmann, so Joost
was nominated a second baseman
before he hit Boston. The growing
and grousing of the fans was enough
at that point TO intimidate your
ordinary ball player, but Master
Joost handled that one with a terse
statement:

New High Mark Set
By D. {. Telephones
Al End of.ApliI'
363,e25 TotoI Shows
2l;918 Goin Over
Same; 1912 Dute
By EDWARD c. STONE.

Another new high mark in the
number of telephones in use in
Washington was established in
April, Chesapeake g. Potomac Tele4
phone Co. officials reported today,
the number of stations in service
reaching 1863 1925 at the end of the
month. :
This was a gain of 21,919 in the
past II months, there, being 342 ,007
telephones in use in the Capital at
the end of April, 1912 The report
also showed an increase of 9O9
phones over March of the present
year when the total stood at 363,Ol6.
The steady advance in the total
number of telephones needed in the
Capital is in keeping with constant
business expansion attributable to
the war. Residential phones have
had comparatively little to do with
the growth in stations.
Average calls per day during April
amounted to 1,525,4l3 compared
with the higher figure of 1903 ,425
a year ago The modest decrease
is due to the request of the tele-
phone company that long distance
calls be confined as much as DOS
slble to those required by war ac-
tivities.
April calls were not quite up to
March and considerably under
January, the record month so far
IN l943, officials added.

DETROIT. May 22.-The Detroit
Tigers have reached the point where
they are sending up pinch-hitters
for their one time eminent slugger,
Rudy York, but they aren't ready
to bench the big first baseman per-
manently--nOt yet.
For the first time in his seven
year big league career here. the
Tigers derailed the Georgia cotton
planter on his way to the plate in
a clutch yesterday and instead sent
in the veteran Rip Radcliff, who
finished at first base.
Won All-Star Game.
York, whose tWo-run homer off
Morton Cooper of the St. Louis
Cardinals gave the American
Leaguers a highly priced All-Star
game victory over the National
League last year, is in imminent
danger Of losing the Tiger first base

York currently is batting .220. Yet
it isn't how many times he has gone
down: it's how he's going down.
I remember when we hardly
dared put York in a game because
of his fielding" said one observer,
and now he's in there solely for
defensive purposes.
York established an American
League record in 1912 for assists by

100 MILES OF KEY

LONDON-Bakhmacn, key to Ger man supplies in the northern Uk- raine, fell to the Red Army now wit thin 100 miles of Kiev, while other Russian forces to h e south struck to within 60 miles of the Dnieper river in a swift advance from the liberated Donets Basin.
 The victory of Bakhmach, an- nOunced by Marshall Stalin in a triumphant order of the day to Gen. Rokossovsky, virtually split the Ger man central and southern defenses in Russia. The city was taken by storm after a bitter two day battle. Stalin in his communique spoke of Bakhmach as "a decisive strong point in the Kiev section, "the first time the Russians officially had mentioned KieY in connection with the north Ukraine drive and appar- ently indicating that they soon ex- pected to carry the Germans back to that distant citadel on the banks of the middle Dnieper.
