There were no deliveries on con- tracts.
 Many friends of the market were inclined to look for an improvement today. in view of the holiday. both here. and in New York tomorrow, thinking that shorts would be disposed to Cover. A good spot demand became evident that the liquidation of March contracts was not near completed. Bears took advantage of this situation to hammer aggressively and finally stop loss orders in ali months were reached Bears seemed to be confident of lower prices Friday, many Issuance of notices and the weekly statistics will both have a bearish effect. When the reaction does come. we think that f Will be equally severe as the recent decline.

Nothing in this world is so sure as the revenge of the slum upon the race that tolerates it.
 "But our children must pay the bill, not we"
 In Everybody's for March, Russell tells how Italy, revolt ing at her wretched railways, has taken over the entire rail- road system. How poor old Ireland, looking with unac- customed eyes upon a faint chance of prosperity, sees the way barred by railroads.
 Germany owns her railroads; / France controls hers. In neither of these countries can a community be throttled by the greed of a railroad.

a general slump in batting is partly
responsible for the showing made By
Rock Island in the last few weeks OF
the Three-Eye pennant race. Nearly
every player has fallen off in his hit
ting. Instead of having three men hit

now better than .270. Swain still
leads the team al that figure. He has

since being dropped in the batting list.

are in the fifties.
There is less change in fielding fig

FlVE-YEAR-0LO PAUL
KEEFE KNOWS THE GAME
Father New Umpiring Here Training
Him for Baseball
Pitcher.

Umpire Keefe who is officiating in
the present baseball series, has a
young son by the name of Paul Fran
els Keefe. who is indeed a baseball
wonder and promises to some day de-
velop into a horsehide artist that will
attract attention. He is but years
old. but he understands the game thor
oughly He takes his place in the box
like a veteran and can wind up and
shoot the ball over with speed that
would put to shame many a lad of
three times his age He is good also
with the stick and never fails to land
on a good one. Umpire Keefe is train,
ing the young man for exhibitions. and
1t is probable that he will show the
tri-city baseball fans little of his tai
ent. His unique appearance. dressed
as he is in umpire blue and his enthu-
siastic roofing at the games makes a
hit wherever he goes.
Umpire John p. Keefa. who has been
signed by President Holland for the
remainder of the season. is a veteran
of baseball, having officiated in leagues
throughout the country for 16 years
He comes from the Western league
here. and OBLIGATED when President NJ.
II. Sexton was at the head of that
league. He has also officiated in the
Interstate. Southern, and the New
York State leagues.
