...seventh-place (American League) Detroit Tigers, with bespectacled Rookie Paul Trout pitching: a baseball game (6-to-1) against the-tip-top New York Yankees: handing the World Champion Yankees their first defeat in 13 games, ending the longest winning streak of the season; at Yankee Stadium, The Bronx. By week's end, the Cincinnati Reds, leaders in the National League pennant race, had also spun a string of twelve victories in a row, were finally defeated by the St. Louis Cardinals...
Shorts. Biggest resemblance between the two movements was in the behavior of the shorts. At the end of May last year speculators had sold no less than 1,343,000 shares which they did not own, and were waiting to buy them back at lower prices. In the two weeks following the turn they were panicked into bidding up the prices of stocks which they had blithely sold. Some of them emerged without their shirts...
Last week if shorts did not lose their shirts, some of them lost their neckties. At the end of April the short interest amounted to 662,000 shares, a 48% increase in four months. In Chrysler stock (the No. i flier) the short interest had increased 176% to 65,000 shares. Shorts had gauged all too well that business was receding. Overenthusiastic pessimists who had had trouble finding buyers, suddenly found too many buyers. When professional buying began, the shorts ran to cover, joined the buying parade. Result: in two days the Dow Jones Industrial average rose 3.76 points...
Winners of the verdict were four purchasers of stock of Austin Silver Mining Co., of which Socialite Sabin was once president. They bought 6,000 shares of Austin Silver in March 1937. It was between $2.50 and $3. By the end of the year it had dropped to a dismal 871/2?. But while the price went downhill, the four had no intention of going on a sleigh ride with it. They brought suit for the difference between the purchase price and the price on the day they filed the petition. They contended that Section 11 had been violated because...
Chief cause of peptic ulcers, which afflict about 330,000 U. S. citizens (mostly business and professional men), is oversecretion of harsh gastric juice. Gastric juice, when abnormally acid, erodes the delicate lining of the stomach, produces inflamed spots near its lower end. To experimenters who have long been seeking an easily available chemical which would check gastric secretion in ulcer patients, Physiologists John Stephens Gray, Elfie Wieczorowski and famed Researcher Andrew Conway Ivy of Chicago's Northwestern University brought hopeful data last week. In Science they reported that "extracts of normal male urine," injected in small amounts...
