harg defeated Hughey Dougherty
= in an unsatisfactory bout at the
Richmond Athletic Club Saturday night,
Maharg fought in windmill fashion, and
though he reached his opponent often
the blows were poorly timed. The men
were more fatigued by their clinehes
than by the fighting they did.
During the opening round Dougherty
had a slight advantage, but starting
with the fourth Maharg became more
effective and was caarly superior at the
finish. being entirely the aggressor.
Dougherty was not much harmed. but
the energy OF Maharg in the close
lighting entitled him TO the decision.
Dougherty could not get out OF the way
OF Maharg's right, and had the blows
heen straighter he would have gone out.

eT7HE trouble with young baIlpayers breaking in the big leagues, ana
with pitchers especially, is their anxiety to do too nue. at TN start"
II they do not win their first game or two, they re apt to oe hear'
and a pitcher who is not game cannot hope to succeed. There Is a vast dit-
terence in the style of play in the major leagues and In the mmor leagues
re players in the big leagues re seasoned and understand the game thor
5ughly. They execute plays in n easy, graceful manner that is a revelation
theb all in trying to duplicate the same plays and generally with disastrous
results.
A new pitcher may probably have some pet curve or drop which he
has worked successfully in the minor league. Let him have his way, and
he will want to toss this favorite curve to every batsman that steps to
me plate He may fool the players for a while, but when they get the
bang of this curve it's all off with the youngster.
The first principle in developing a new man is to teach him to get
command of the ball. Good control OF the ball is essential to a pitchers
SUCCESS. After he has learned to put them over n around the plate a 8 you
tgnal for him to do, the hardest part of a catchers work is done.
II the pitcher insists upon using his pet curve too often. he must be
broken of the habit A pitcher who has several assortments OF curves, and
who knows how and when to use them, is the successful man.
ia youngster has a good curve IT raised ball, the thing is to develop
this curve until he masters it to perfection. Then he should be taught to

THE FINANCIER's STATEMENT.

NEW YORK, July 1b-The Financier
this week says:
The striking feature of the official state
ment OF the New York associated banks
last week was the comparatively close cor
respondence between the average gain in
cash and that which was estimated from the
traceable movements of money during the
week, the officially reported increase being
sis.soo.ooo, while that which was estimated
was s12,0T7,2 200. There Is. however, a con-
siderable discrepancy shown by the official
and the estimated figures of the previous
fortnight, the latter indicating gain of
17ls millions while the official statements
only show IN millions. Taking the last
three weeks together the total of the
timated increase Is s2e.b0o,o0o. while that
o fthe actual gain is $4,000. 600. bank av-
erages for the three weeks period. therefore,
are still $14.50o,0o0 below the presumably
actual movement as shown by the traceable
conditions. The deposits were Increased
$21. 200. 900 last week. or s2.005, 200 less than
the sum of the gain in cash and the in
crease in loans. hence the statement does
not balance. The required reserve against
general deposits was S5,254,775, deducting
which from the gain in cash leaves ss.545,-
627 as the increase in the surplus reserve to
$44.56S,350. Computed upon the basis OF
funds, the surplus is $50,sO4.l3o. The loans
were expanded 50. 223, 900 probably largely
due to bond negotiations and also to Dor
rowing by commission houses. 1t is note
worthy that the loans are the highest ever
reported and that cash and deposits show
new high records: the surplus reserve Is
10 1-3 millions greater than previously re-
ported this year, it having been $3i.203,700
on April 90, and II is also in excess of that
recorded in recent years. The increase in
this item since May IA. when 1t was S12.-
S27, $50 the minimum has been $31. S36, 900.
The daily average of bank clearings last
week was $211.00o, 900 or four millions less
than In the previous week, but the clearings
reported on Saturday, reflecting the bust
ness of Friday. were SEA. s96,144. or much
above the average. Comparing changes in
loans by individual banks four institutions
show a net gain Of s Is millions; cash
gains by five banks were $12. 900. 900 net
