Stock Market. Edges
IrreguIar|y Higher
In Quiet Session
By Victor Eubonk
Associated Press Finoneiot Writer

NEW YORK, Mar. 9.-The stock
market today concluded its .dullest
week in almost year on the
smallest Saturday volume for about
six months. with irregularly higher
. tendencies predominating.
Scattered aircrafts, steels and spe-
cialties put up the best perform
ance over the 2-hour stretch, al
though the ticker tape continued to
NOPE after fairly active opening
and losers were plentiful at the
close. Gains generally ranged from
fractions to point or so but few
thin" issues jumped 8 to 4 on a
few sales.
The aggregate of 100000 shares
was a low since last September 8,
and compared with $4,000 a week
ago, the 6-day total of 5,220,000
was minimum for any full week
since. the period ending April Z last.
Technical Factor Cited.
Buying still was based partly on
the theory that the list was due for
a good comeback after the February
slump. Settlement of the Western
Electric strike revived hopes for
labor adjustments elsewhere and
lifted American Telephone IL.
Boosting of cotton textile ceilings
helped American Woolen and scat
tered store stocks and inspired the
thought that relaxation of price
controls in other sectors would ben
eft securities. Expectation that
&c !. &es,
expanded in view of the cloudy for
eign situation apparently bolstered
aviations such as Douglas, Boeing,
Lockheed, Grumman and Bell Air
craft.
Numerous customers held to neu-
trail ground because of apprehen-
sion over international affairs,
widespread wage-price disputes and
the sketchy outlook for earnings.
Rails had to contend with a sharp
drop in January net income.
i The Associated Press 6O-stock av-
erage was up 2 of a point at 75.2.
On the week 1t recovered 1.9 points.
Only TIA issues registered, smallest
since December 20. OF these, 379
rose, 226 fell and 1859 were un-
changed.
Eastman Rises Further.
Eastman Kodak for the day added
4 points on a meager turnover.
Emerson Radio was up 35s and Ma
tional Department Stores 8. Lesser

Pfizer, United States Steel, Bethle-
hem, General Motors, Goodrich,

Small FIue-cured Crop Sets
Cash Record in Virginia I,
BY III. As,oelatsd Press

RALEIGH, N. c., Mar. 9.-The
1945 crop of Virginia fire-cured to-
bacco brought producers the most
money of any crop in history. but
production fell to almost record
low, the United States and Virginia
of agriculture reported
in season end review.
Gross sales during the marketing
season which ended February q
totaled only 11,584,521 pounds,
decrease of approximately 1880, 900
pounds from the 1914 volume. The
average price per hundred pounds
was $32.40, an increase of $7.46 per
hundred over the 1914 average.
The crop was the second smallest
ever recorded in the fire-cured area
and amounted to only 1,750,000
pounds more than the record low
total set in 1943.
Gross sales and averages for the
1945 and 1914 crops: Il

SOFTBALL

The Duchess Girls AC has been working hard to get themselves in shape for the season at Keeney Park. Thursday, May g, the girls will meet the Veeder-Root Girls at Colt Park at 6:15 pm. The hit ting power seems to be much stronger this year. Main stays on this years team are the following: Ruth Shorter, 1st base; Dorothy Lewis, third base; Justine Beaford, short stop; Ethel Jones, a pitcher and third baseman; Betty Binford is working at second base. The strongest fielder seems to be Irene Perry. The weak spot is the catch ing position. Frances Patterson and Alma Stinson are trying out for the position. Such newcomers as Dwynn Lee, Florence Riser, and Alma Stinson look very promising at the last practice session.

that Wright is ready to pitch. The team is now at home and the fans are all enthused over the two colored players.
 *+*****#*#*
 The rise of the Red Sox has all the fans talking. The playing of the team as whole is the great est seen in Boston since 1918. There is one Boston boy on the team in the person of Eddie PeIIi- grim, BOSTON CHRONICLE AL Scholastic while at Roxbury Me moriaD who has been hitting in tough luck. The lad broke in by hitting home run. In a game against the Yankees he hit a double, triple, home run and a single. He hasn't hit since. How ever, the one good factor about the lad is that his fielding has been super-super and he has been fighting every day. His courage can never be questioned. The fans and the players have been good to the lad and we believe the kid from Dorchester will snap out of his slump and soon start hitting the ball. The Sox pitchers have been all hurling like their very life depended on every pitch, they will be hard to best. Ted Williams last week hit three consecutive homers in as many days and won two games by his slugging. York, the big Indian, has been hitting better than was expected. York has never been a spring hitter, however, this year he started with the opening game. The team is riding high and it looks like better days are here in Boston.

 The Boston Giants who opened their season last week will make a good showing this spring. It is the first time in years that col- ored team has been in the Park League senior division.

A ball team cannot be run on cheering, it takes money to keep the club on the road.

Hub Giants Win
 First League Game

Five thousand bowling fans saw the Boston Giants win their open ing league game at the Fens Sta- dium this week. John Beckett, one of the Giants new pitchers, started the game. He was a bit wild and loaded the bases with one out and two balls on the batter when Will Jackman came to the rescue.
 Jackman put out the fire with out difficulty, then continued to strike out IT men, allowing only two safe hits.
 The Giants got 2 runs across themselves to win the game 7-2.

Around Boston

During the past few weeks the New York sport pages have been red hot. They are more than sore about the Sugar" Ray Robinson situation. It seems that the auth critics don't want Sugar to fight for the welterweight crown. They are making more money on Rob- inson as the uncrowned champion rather than as the champ. Money IS the reason for Sugars plight. They have not taken into consid- eratlon the feelings of Robinson, the boy who should be the champ. The papers have been fighting for a Servo-Robinson match and soon. The pressure has been so great that the Boxing Commission has forced Servo to fight Robinson in September or else give up the crown. It looks as though Servo will have to find another excuse to get out of that one.
 ****x******
 The daily question about town is, "Did the Red Sox win ?" And the mostly asked question for sport lovers, "How did Jackie Rob inson make out the past week." Both questions can be. answered together. Everything is all right. Jackie batted at a 378 clip, WOW! Against Baltimore, the city from which they expected little objec- tion, he made three hits in one game, one double and scored four runs. In another game against the same team, he got hit and fielded like a Bobby Doerr. The Baltimore fans were fine to the lad, and Jackie proved to them what a ball player and a good sportsman he is, they appreciated Jackie and gave him a good hand. Until the Syracuse game, Jackie had hit safely in 8 straight games. He came through the next day and slammed out three hits, one a double. Johnny Wright, the colored pitcher, had two tries at relieving. He didn't do so well on his first trip out, but in his second try in he struck out the side in the eighth inning and grabbed hmself a double when he batted. Manager Hopper said last week

Lincoln School, he attended Boston Technica High School, where he is now a senior. Mills has starred all season long in the AB dashes. He took second place in the Indoor Reggies 50 yard dash. He made the record in the GBI meet 5O- yard dash at 5.7. He also made the record in the tY' meet 45-yard dash of 5 seconds. So far in the outdoor meets, Mills has already distinguished himself by winning the 100-yard dash in the fast time of 10.3 seconds. Walter is expect ing to join one of the branches of the service, after which he expects to obtain a civil service position. Mills claims that his greatest past time is the young deb, who used to sit at the finish of the dash over the Armory to greet him as he finished, Miss Jackie Lewis.

The inter-school athletic pro- gram for intermediate schools has proved to be a success in it's first year. It is bringing out the ath- letic abilities in the younger boys, and by the time they reach high school they will have a better Knowledge of athletics, and thus stand a better chance of getting on the high school teams.

 Clyde Crawford (Te) was beat en in the Quad meet at Newton by Saul Quint in the 220. Crawford had not been training for the 220, so there is possible reason for his taking second place.
 Reddick and Tyler placed sec ond and third, respectively, in the 44O for Boston Tech.

 For the first time this season Coach McGrath of Tech made it possible for four colored lads to run Techs relay, and of course they proved themselves very cap able. Those lads were Reddick, Mills, Crawford and Tyler.

NEGRO FANS GAN CONTRIBUTE TO JACKIE ROBINSON'S
 ,cTIC@ECC

New York-Al Laney, top-rank- ing sports writer who holds forth on the pages of the sedate New York Herald Tribune, devoted his full column to human interest stuff about Jackie Robinson week or so ago. What Laney had to say has been said before, and will urobably be said many times again, but a point or two of ms scholarly essay bears repeating. Pointing out that acceptance or Robinson has come about sooner than Jackie or anyone else had ex- pected, Laney goes on to say, me evidence is not all in yet but the indication is already clear that a Negro, If he is good enough, can Dlay ir the International League without causing the stars to fall. And if that is true there can De no good reason why he should not also play in the major leagues.
 Robinson confided to Laney that he is concerned about playing Tn Baltimore. Not that he expects any personal trouble, for Jackie has played there many times and has a tremendous following, but he IS hoping against hope that there will not be any trouble in the stands. Under ordinary circumstances, a handful of onesided rooters on the wrong side of the bleachers can stir up a hornets nest. In this case, it will be little more than the partisan interest on confirmed addicts. There will be the added hazard of men and women pulling for a kid who like themselves, comes from race that has been denied much. It will be an occasion for rejoicing, and there will be some who will not understand the overfowing joy and enthusiasm of the occasion.
 Exaggerated Loyalty of Negro
 Fans
 Baseball fans, in any part of the country, are good-natured lot o1 single-minded animals who threat en to murder umpires, and who we'll for the scalps of the opposing players, but they want the whole massacre done legal and sporting like. There have been instances where two close friends, roofing for opposing teams, have come to blows over fine point without a personal angle entering into the business. What worries Jackle' (and it is something to be consld- ered), is the exaggerated loyalUy shown him by the Negro fans. Wherever he has played the Negro fans have made it point to ap- plaud his every move as though it were the out-of-this-world per formance of Superman.
 Talking to Laney about 1t, Rob- inson gave an instance. "....."........' in Newark............, there was big crowd, and thousands of them were AYoow~1oe T. 1rror v,o ado porvo1Js hR-
