Cincinnati, May 5.-In announcing
the reinstatement without fine of
Players John Anderson and NJ. e.
HeydOn, who left the Washington
Americans last season, the National
Baseball Commission announced two
fines Of $25 in each case against the
Washington club. Anderson and Hey
don left Washington during the play
ing season, an offence usually followed
by a fine.
The commission, however. declares
That Gin those cases certain facts
warranted the players acting as they
did. Managers of clubs must under
stand that ball players must have the
same treatment as individuals in any
other profession. Where this is not
done, the good offices of the commits
sion cannot be invoked in behalf of
such managers"
The commission holds that the

New York, May 5.-Effective support
for prices was Forthcoming at the outset
of the stock market today. This SO far
encouraged sentiment that the selling of
stocks, which rapidly increasing
when the market closed yesterday, was
discontinued. The most striking feature
of the dealings after this preliminary
stand against reaction was the profound

covered from the uneasiness caused by
the news of troubles in India. Brokers
were purchasers of several thousand
shares of stocks here for foreign ac
count.
Some of the late selling yesterday, es-

Harvard Students
File Their Protest.

Cambridge. Mass, May 5.-The Har-
ward undergraduates petition. signed
by 1906 students. protesting against
any radical interference with the pres
ent conditions Of intercollegiate sport
in the university was late today pre-
scented to the Harvard. faculty Of arts
and sciences.
The definite aim of the petition was
to persuade the faculty to withdraw
from the position it has taken in the
matter of reducing intercollegiate con-
tests in all sports to minimum,
which in general called for the abol-
ishment of all intercollegiate contests
between the close Of the football sea-
son and the spring recess in April.
This would have done away with
hockey and basketball and interfered
with the spring baseball practice.
The faculty accepted the petition
and referred it to the Harvard ath
letic committee. The faculty issued
a statement in which 1t commended
the students for their corporation in
the discussion of the matter and their
desire to abolish existing evils and
recommended in referring the petition
to the athletic committee. that that
committee confer with the student
body or its representatives in taking |
final action.
