Travis Regains Form
In Senator'S Drills


ORLANDO, Fla, Feb. %. -P)-
The best news in tie Washington
Senators camp today was that
Cecil Travis has regained his pre-
war form at shortstop.
Travis feet were frozen in the
''battle of the bulge" while he was
a CT in Germany. When he return
ed to the Senators late last season,
he lacked his previous bounce.
But Travis boiled out this spring
in the baths at Hot Springs, Ark,
and his ability to cover ground in
early workouts here has convinced
Manager Ossie Bluege that Wash
ington's chronic weakness at short
stop is a thing of the past.

lay, Commissioner of North Caro-.

Fisheries, reported hunting gen
orally below average in the tide

were tabulated separately for tide.

depredations and flooding rains
last summer were about equally
charged by hunters of the tide

SELECTIVE ADVANCE

NEW YORK, Jan. S. Up After
five successive sessions without an
average plus sign, the stock mar
ket today managed to conclude a
generally losing week with a Sc
lective advance although many
leaders were unable to participate.
Marrow irregularity persisted
from the start in the slow dealings.
Prices hardened here and there in
the final few minutes but closing
gains, on the whole, were limited
to minor fractions. Transfers
totalled $4,000 shares compared
100000 last Saturday and were
the smallest since Sept. 2.
AS throughout the week, spread
ing strikes provided a bearish in
fluence during the two hour pro
ceedingS but some short covering
and timid bidding apparently was
inspired by the belief that the list
was in snaps for at least techni-
cal comeback. Numerous custom
ers. however, held aloof to await
developments on the. labor front.
