Special Dispatch to The Star,

DETROIT Mich, June 6-With a prom
ise of better weather this afternoon than
that of yesterday the Washington club is
looking forward to nice bit of gate money
as its share of the midweek contest. Old
Boy Kftson. who had planned To go to his
home at Allegan. this state. last night, to
remain there until the Nationals get to
Chicago. was held over as result of yes
terdays postponement Stahl has him
groomed for today. and the announcement
will serve to draw big crowd No game
played in the east by Detroit was followed
more closely than that in which Donovan
and Kitson were opposed at Washington.
For today a little switch is proposed,
Seyer being named to go against kitson.
This makes the card even more interesting
10 Detroit. as it is battle of recruits.
Moreover, Siever has pitched but one los
ing game this spring. and is correspond
ingly popular, but. judging by the way in
which Washington bumped the other left
handler. KiIian. there is likely to be a
second defeat chalked up against Siever. If
Kitson is In form.
There wasn't a chance for a game yes
terday, though the sun shone brightly at
S:i5, at which hour games are started
here. So much rain had fallen earlier in
the afternoon that II would have been I'M
wise 10 ask players to take chances of In
Jury In the soft going on the slippery
grass.
Both teams were a bit disappointed
though the two mighty anglers of the
Washington club, Case Patten and Charlie
Jounes found solace in fishing trip to a
lake about twenty miles from town. They
made a nice catch.
Some interest Is felt in watching the
Washington lineup today. there being a
suspicion that Stahl may be laid Off by
President Ban Johnson. This Is not like

OF the game when he INDUCED in the strong
words They were addressed to Tim, but
they referred to Common What Jake said
to the latter was not audible off the field.
1t did not directly follow his first outburst.
That Stahl was pretty well worked up was
shown by his failure to go TO bat when
his turn came In the next inning after his
outburst. Nothing can excuse profane re-
marks that are audible to specta tors. In
extenuatiOn OF Stahls excitement, however,
* may be said that Washington got the
worst end OF a majority of the close de-
cisiors.
So far Stahl has refused to discuss the
result Of his scouting trip. 1t is known.
however. that he expects to have another
hitter, who will go TO che outield as soon
as he reports. He Is not worrying so much
about the pitchers right now. Smith prob

AMERICAN LAWN
TENNIS TEAM SELECTED

LONDON, June 6--Capt. Raymond d.
Little has selected the American lawn ten
mis- team which is to oppose Australasia
at Newport, Monmouthshire Thursday In
the final round Of the tournament for the
Davis cup.
1t was decided to play HoIcombe Ward
and kreigh Collins in the singles and Col
Inns and Little In the doubles. The Aus
tralasians will be represented by A. F.
Wtlding and L. o. Poidevin
1t is thought that the Americans will
secure a comfortable triumph, notwiLh-
standing the fact that Wiiding has been
showing brilliant form this season and has
already defeated such foremost British ex-
ponents Of the game Gore, Ritchle. Rise

from Doherty at Monte Carlo.

safe to win the doubles they are therefore
expected to secure the rubber.
All chances of Beals c. Wright being
sufficiently recovered to appear in the
challenge round against Great Britain
have now disappeared and the team by
this time Is resigned to the inevitable.
Wright. who still remains In the hospital,
is receiving expert treatment. Yesterday
he was able to go out for the first time.
His general health remains fairly good,
while his spirits. under the circumstances,
are singularly CHEEKY. Nearly all the sep
tic matter has now been withdrawn from
his injured finger, and his hand Is rapidly
assuming more normal appearance but,
as Raymond Little said this morning:
ut is now. impossible to think he will be
well enough to appear against Great Brit
ain. I only wish 1t were

There was ne feature Of special interest
about the transactions at today's meeting
OF the stock exchange. II was evident
there was good deal OF Capital Traction
stock to be had at las and also an abund-
ance OF the preferred stock Of the WASH
ington Railway and Electric Co, but in
neither case was the demand up to the
supply and in consequence the trading was
very slight.
The latter stock sells exdiyidend next
Tuesday, and that means taking $50 from
the value OF each share.
Greene Copper sold somewhat freely and
at a quite recession from the figures OF
yesterday The difference In the selling level
between today and yesterday was nearly a
point in favor OF yesterdays prices. The
range today was 2SA to 2S%. while yester-
day 1t was about 29A.
The closing bid OF today was more than
point below that OF yesterday. It Is sup
posed that the general condition of the
coppers has something to do with the fiuc-
tuations in the price OF this stock.

BULLS AND BEARS

Special pisrstch 10 The star.
NEW YORK. May 15.--The consensus OF
opinion among certain stock market inter-
ests this morning was that yesterdays re-
action was entirely natural ana that the
technical position of the market had been
strengthened thereby. Close market OBJ
servers did not expect long-contanued re-
action. and attributed the action of the
market to natural causes, In View OF the
prolonged rise The reduction in the divf-
dend Of tho Parrot Mining Company was
not taken as In any way indicative of weak
ness In the position Of the copper metal
market.
For several days the professional element
has been working for reaction, and con-
siderable realizing OF profits yesterday. ac-
companied by more short selling, offers
sufncient explanation for the decline. SO
FAR as can be learned. no big blocks or
stock were dislodged. and It declared that
the bulk Of the stock bought on the decline
fortnight ago viii not come upon the
market until considerably higher level
Is reached
Shrewd operators are of the opinion that
though there may be some further selling
today. causing some irregularity in price
movements, good rally In the market win
directly follow. The bull contingent, which,
by the way, embraces by far the most sub
stantial interests In the street, bases its
poSitioIi Oh the IdFOfdDle COnQiliOuS pre-
yafling In all departments Of business.

Referring to the meetings of the repre-
ssntatives OF the iron and steel industries
to be held here within few days, a Pitts
burg correspondent says: THE steel-plate
interests will reaffirm existing quotations.
There are no prospects of an advance in
structural steel, and bar-iron prices will
stay where they are. According to manu-
facturers. the only change in prospect is
an advance in tin plate. due to the extraor-
binary rising in pig tin. One manufacturer
figures that the raw material In box OF
tin plate, based present quotations, is
