Fred TenEey, the Boston first baseman, iri
speaking of his trouble with Fred Clarke in
Pltrsburg the other day, said to Chicago
writer:
Il don't see how Fred Clarke could have
done it. unless he was doing it for spite
work. He says he didn't do 1t purposely,

against the sack. He was out two steps
from the bag. and yet he takes the inside
path and makes the jump on it clean"
The impression that Morgan Murphy is
49, pounds of excess baggage is one of the
circuit. In a pinch Morgan can catch a
stops whose names appear on the score
cards regularly, and as superintendent of
the finances he is thoroughly reliable but
he has other talents not generally known.
When not needed on the gates Morgan dons
the spangles hunts shady spot the field
and apparently goes to sleep. but he always
keeps one eye open. and makes a point of
studying the signals used by the opposing
club. Signs are changed frequently and are
hard to detect but the claim is made that
Murphy can read any set after three innings
of study. Kinslow was another catcher
clever at tipping off signals.

AMERICAN WISHES RESPECTED.
French Yield to Protest Against
Athletic Games Ons Sunday.


Representations by Mr. A. G. Spalding,
director of athletics at the Paris exposition,
to the French officials in control Of these
events regarding the position of American
college athletes who desire to participate
in the contests, but who have objected to
the Sunday feature of the games have re-
suited in the granting of the concessions
asked.
In a letter to Mr.. Spalding the French
officials state that they recognize the man.
ner in which Sunday is respected in the
United States and that in order to have the
pleasure of the participation of the Ameri-
cans they agree. whenever it is possible, to
change the finals falling on Sunday to
week day.
This action the part of the officials
moves the obstacles found by many of the
college athletes in the United States.
Mr.. Spalding will sail for New York
Wednesday. He has suggested the addition
of several events to the games already de-
cided upon, of them being a twenty
five-mile Marathon race. The French OFF,
cials will probably accede to this request.

the lost ground. Toward the finish the race
became very exciting.

served to sustain the market somewhat,
but realizing continued on an active
scale. The coalers broke sharply on q
report that the Reading company would
mine to Its full capacity. A number Of
the Iron and steel stocks declined from
to ~ points. They were affected
somewhat by the reports of the deep
cut In prices of steel rails made by
British manufacturers following q cut
made earlier in the week by German
producers. The late rally was led by
Missouri Pacific. which was rushed up
3 points above the lowest, without any
news to account for the rise. The fall
In the call money rate to 26c and the
manifest relaxation In the pressure to
realize encouraged the advance. Pre-
liminary estimates of the weeks cash
changes by the banks promise large
decline in cash reserves. Operations
with the sub-treasury offered the
greatest interest. Deposits of cash
with this institution for transfer
to the interior have been much smaller
this week than last. On the other
hand. there have been payments Of
drafts on account Of gold deposited Mt
Pacific coast points, and the portion Of
the gold imports which came as bars,
have been paid for Mt the assay office.
Nevertheless the sub-treasury has
absorbed from the banks during the
week no less sum than $3.50, 900. The
shipments of currency by express to
the interior are believed to have been
less than q million dollars, but the de-
cline In cash reserves seems certainly
to have reached total Of 5000, 900. The
action Of the call money market re-

Inference that the banks must have

barber us he was putting the finishing
touches on n Saturday evening hair

shaved one side of his face, when lie
stopped me.
Hold on he cried, I want this

II asked him what was the matter,
and he replied: There's n fly on my
check. and Won have shaved the lath-
er and whiskers off, but the fly didn't
move. Now what's the mazzer with
hlm?'

but he pointed to the mirror and said:
You think l can't see him. I amt so
drunk that can't see fly
II turned to the glass. and there
stood the fly on the mirror, and in suc:,
n position that from my customers
range Of vision 1t seemed to be on his
cheek. He afterward said that he had
felt that fly tickling him all the time,
and wondered how could shave under
it and not cut Its legs off,
