SHADE BEST OF ARGUMENT.

LOS ANGELES. March 4.--AnotheF
OF those ten rounds and another
chance for interminatle argument
For every man who said. Britt" as he
jostled his way out OF Naud's pavil'
ion. there was another behind him who
yelled Nelson"
To the writer It looked as though
Britt had slight shade on Nelson
after the men were pulled asunder
1t the close Of the tenth round.
This way figure: The first round
was Britt's; the second Nelson's; the
third was Britt's; and the fourth even.
The fifth, sixth and seventh were in
Nelson's favor and In each following
round Britt was the clever and most
effective hitter.
This record was made by keeping
tab on the blows. Had there been
referee-that Is, referee empowered
TO render a decision--he might posi-.
bly, have made his awards in favor OF
Nelson. or he might have allowed the
Dane to share the honOrs OF a draw.
II was a fast round. Britt landed
the larger number Of blows, being fast
and clever. 1t looked as IL Britt had
received Knockout blow In the sixth
round and was saved by the gong.
At the end Nelson was strong, but
unable to overcome Britt's cleverness.

How many football referees and urn-

local school teams can really have
confidence?
In each case opinion may differ, yet
II Is safe to say that few will take the
stand that there are more than two
or three OF each. II Is naturally diff
ficult matter to find men who care
enough about any sport to make a
real study OF its rules. In addition,
the official must also be rigidly hon

the real reasons why the race OF good
umpires seems to be dying out at a
rate that threatens absolute extinc-

THE REAL TROUBLE IS THAT
MODERN AMERICA TAKES ITS

ALTOGETHER TOO PRONE TO RE

 IN STOCK MARKET
Big Drop Has Occurred In Stocks During Ten Days
CONDITIONS NOW EASIER
Rumors of Railway Troubles Have Sifted Down to the Pittsburn Ter ninaI Receivership and the
 Outlook Is Brighter.

New York, May So.-(SpeciaD-A condi- ton of nervous uncertainty characterized the stock speculation at frequent inter vals during the week and there were some violent fluctuations with occasional heavy declines. The change in the specu- lative situation in the short space of about 10 days has been very pronounced
 Around May 19 the highest prices of the bull movement were made. At the low point this week Laclsawanna showed a decline of 391s points, Missouri Pacific 1s, Union Pacific 12%, Denver and Rio &rande preferred 12, St. Paul 11ss, Reading 1o1s, Northwestern 10, ..orthern Pacific pas, Louisville and Nashville 8as Great Northern 8, Southern Pacific 8, Baltimore and Ohio, 7a4, New York Central 61s and Atchison 51a.
 This is certainly heavy reaction, even taking into consideration the previous great advance, and 1t was very disap- pointing to bull interests, both large and small. But the market had many unfa- vorable things to contend with. In the first place there was the lingering in fuence of the government suit against the New Haven road which naturally af- forded opportunity for the circulation of various rumors which proved to be un- founded, of 8 fresh prosecution of cor porations. This influence, however, hard 1y subsided before the floods in the South west came into play as bear argument and these were very effective for the reason that the roads in that section were in poor condition to meet the dam
