On the Stock Exchange as Result Of
Much News, Showing Tendency
to Boost Stocks in General.

New York Feb, 1.-THE stock
market gave the first clear indications
of organized speculative operations on
| the long side OF the market since the
abandonment of the campaign for a
rise in January. The source of these
operations was not discernable, but
the fact of execution of large indvid.
ual buying orders for various stocks
was manifest Brokerage houses
which usually handle large accounts
were buyers in lots of several thous.
and shares in various important
stocks. Much stress was laid by buy
ers of stocks on the confidence now
felt at Washington that the moderate
measures of currency reform, propos
ed by the senate finances committee
will be enacted into law at he
present session of congress.
Not much effect on money condi-
lions Is expected to result from the
proposed measure, but the professel
opinion of speculative element is hat
the determination to take action on
the subject may be regarded as a
promise to accept some paragraphs Of
the presidents message on leasing Of
mineral lands as a softening of the

that has been buch dwelt upon about

of new points of strength

discussion, the most important of which
will be the attitude of the general press to

Police Commissioner Bernard j. York, who
has for years been interested in bowling,

R AND JOHNSON
TO A TONIGHT,

Jack johnson, the heavyweight colored

port. The contest is one of many "elim-
inntion' battles which have been an
nounced since the heavyweight squabble

Glasses all the second-raters and unknown

joe Humphreys, manager Of Sailor
Burke, has been grooming his charge at
Stratfdrd, Conn, only a few miles from
the battle-ground Humphreys says that
fight followers who consider Johnson I'M
beatable Will find the Connecticut sup
porters of Sailor Burke there with o
shouts and lots of money. Burke has been
humping Jim Savage, KID cutler ana an
pionShip ASPIRATIONS fairly sizzie, Burke Is
as sincere as any man could be with Such

The contest is one of the most important
booked In the East this year. Johnson has
repeatedly challenged the best men in the
eaVywei division and has 4lAd9 some
high-lass fighters resort to the old color
line excuse In evading matches. With the
of experience and fifteen pounds
or more weight, johnson seems a sure
winner over Burke.
After fighting eight or ten limited round
engagements with Joe Jeanette there was
a question raised as to whether ohnson
really had class. His sponsors answered
all references to the big fellow by declar-
ing that he had been performing under a
hard pull In hopes of drawing some of the
alleged champions into a fight for a big
side bet and purse. When Marvin Hart

BRITT GOT HALF.
Cans Had to Agree to Split Purse in
Order to Get the Fight.

SAN FRANSICO, CAL, Sept. 12.-De-
velopments today tend to prove that
Frisco has lived up to it's reputation as
the breeding place of more fake fights add
tainted boxing bouts than any other DIS
trict in the United States. That Jimmy
Britt quit cold" in the lightweight cham
pionship battle Monday with Joe Cans,
champion Of that division and confessed
faker. is believed generally today. Not
one in ten thousand believes that Britt's
arm was broken. He simply found himself
outfought by the colored champion, and
to save himself a terrible drubbing by the
man who bore him a grudge he offered the
lame excuse Of a small broken bone in
his forearm.
1t also developed today that all tffe talk
about the fighters being certain to live
up to the articles regarding the division
of the gate receipts the management
agreed to give them was fake. These
crafty pugilists divided the purse.
Britt compelled Cans to agree to this
even division, win or lose before entering
the ring. This lends color to the charge
of n well-known sporting man that Britt
was not In condition to wage a successful
ring battle against Cans and went In sim
ply to get the half-share of the big nurse.
The delay at the ringside was due to the
native sons, friends of Britt, getting Cans
In a cprner and lmpressing him with the
fact that 1t would be better for his fight
ing future If he would agree to an equal
division of the purse. AS near as can be
determined the 5000 estimate of the cash
the pugilists divided Is correct. BY agree
ing to split instead of taking 60 per cent
due the winner, the coiored man lost more
than 1900, but he has another California
battle at Los Angeles with Memsic. and
expects that the gullible public will con-
tribute several thousands more to his
treasury. He needs the money. for he
will quit the ring o and go into the
hotel business Fin Baltimore. Meanwhile
1t looks as II Gans and Memsic would
get about enough patronage when they
meet to buy soda water for the promoter.
