BUoYANT RISE LATE IN DAY.
Strong Recovery in Consolidated Gas
and New York Central.

New York, Jan. THE most sig
nificant events Of today from a finan-
Cial viewpoint were occurring outside
the stock exchange and the volume of
business done of the floor OF the ex-
change shrank materially until the
squirt of activity which accompanied
the buoyant rise late in the day. The
points Of positive strength We're found
outside the list Of stocks ordinarily
most active in the trading and mostly
in those of a minor grade The COW
ering OF shorts was assigned an inn
portant part in the demand, which
lifted prices. New York Central and

idence Of relief from selling pressure

ance Of the prOtiC-sharing plan. This
is the first time that common stock
has been offered to the employees in
addition to the offer of preferred stock
and the buyers of the stock protested
a belief that this action implied an in

the directors of the corporation. In
the Colorado & Southern stocks orders

up to designated figures. 1t was as
sumcd that further details of the pur-
poses Of the Chicago. Burlington &
quincy towards these securities were
reflected in these movements, but no
announcement was forthcoming to
throw light on the subject. The Rock

rumor that a change in the status of
the common stock was intended which
should give it equal voting rights with
the preferred. st. PauIs movement
was incident to a supposition that the

FAULTS FOUND IN
COLLEGE BASEBALL.
Students Very Lame on Base Running
Show Best in Fielding.

Baseball as played by college stu
dents suffers much in comparison with
the game as played by professionals.
Rating the playing of the major
league teams at 100 per cent. and the
college game would be 70 per cent. in
fielding, so per cent. In batting, go per
cent. in pitching, and SO 1y3 per cent
in base running. The college fielding
IS within quarter as good as the big
league fielding but the batting is onlv
one-half as good and the base running
only One-third as good. In short. the
college game is weaker in batting and
base running than in fielding and
pitching. The college player knows
less Of the inside game, the offense of
baseball, than he does of defense, as
compared to the best professional.
These figures are the estimation Of
David FultE, than who nobdy is better
qualified to express an opinion on the
subject. Fultz was first-class college
player, first-class professional player.
ana has been a success as a coach
Therefore he has had opportunities to
acquire knowledge of the professional
and college game from all angles.
In answer to question whether the
collegian had the natural mental abil-
1ty OF the professional, needing only
the experience TO bring it out. Fultz
said:
Yes, his mental calibre is such that
with the same experience and the same
physical ability he would make a bet
ter player as soon as he overcame a
certain nervousness in executing the
game, grew accustomed to the excite
ment and the surroundings.
college base running is a. good yvay
behind the professional game" contin-
ued FultZ, land it is an idea of mine
that it is futher behind than it should
be. I've seen college teams that never
attempted to do anything in base RIM
ming, seen them satnd still on the bases
when the opposing catcher was weak
in throwing and the opposing picher
didn't know how to hold them slose to
the bases. Again, the opposing base
men didn't know how to touch a man
sliding to base. The chances ~conse-
quently We're all in favor Of the base
runner( yet he made no effort to take
advantage Of the percentage in his
favor. The college player runs fast
enough, bue he is slower than the pro-
slide as skillfully.

I never attempted to steal as 1 should
have done. although / always could run

ever had.) l didn't realize until later

ATHLETICS HAVE RIGHT TO INNES
Haverhl Club Violated Rules, Says Commits Nevada
Men Offer 100000 Purse for Jeffres-Johnson.

Cincinnati. Jan. 7.-Censure of the
Haverhill (Nass.) club is included in
a decision by the National baseball
commission awarding Player John
McInnis to the Philadelphia American
league club. Haverhill claimed the
player because of q reserve clause in
his receipt for pay in full and Phil
adelphia claimed that when lie was
signed August s, 1908, he was not I'M
der contract with the New England
club, having failed to sign the con-
tract rendered him when he joined
the Haverhin club. In the testimony
it developed that McInnis played with
Haverhill five days in the week, but
on Saturdays and Sundays played with
the Beverly club, an independent club
outside of organized baseball. This
fact was cited by Philadelphia TO
prove that McInnis played with the
Haverhill club part of the time 10
help it out. Attention is called in the
decision to the rules governing res
ervations and the commission contin-
ues:
After a player accepts terms.
contract must be rendered him and if
he refuses to sign said contract at the
end of ten days he shall be ineligi-
Bile to play with the club he has ac-
cepted terms with or any other club
in organized baseball. Therefore, all
Ludt II was necessary LOT HaVernlll TO
do to establish their absolute right
and title and services of this player
was when he refused TO enter into
the contract after accepting terms to
notify the regularly constituted au-
thorities and place this player on the
ineligible list. This they did not do
but they did play fast and loose with
the rules of organized baseball by
playing a player who should have
been ineligible and allow him five days
in the wee lltO be an organized ball
player and one day in the week to be
a member Of an Independent club. The
action of the Haverhill club clearly
makes this player a free agent under
organized baseball and therefore the
Philadelphia American league club
was clearly within its rights when it
signed this player to a regular con-
tract on August g. 1902
In conclusion the commission says
that under the rules, IF the commits
sion desires they can infiict a fine
against said club for playing this
player contrary to the provisions of
the national agreement"

to throw within 30 minutes actual

the big foreigner will arouse an I'M

In the meantime, word comes from

wrestle Yussiff Nahmout for the

both will accept for March.
Gotch is in London. where he has

WALKER A GREAT SPLINTER.
He Gets Away Before the Boom of the
Gun and Is Great Finisher-Does
100 in 9 2-5.

The single sporting effort of 1908
that sticks out like lighthouse is
the wonderful work Of little Bobby
Walker of South Africa, who twice
reached the 8 20 mark for the 100
yard dash.
This young gentleman was sore
shock to the American Olympic team
at London when he carried off the
100-meter event, which they had con-
cluded was as good as wrapped up
and expressed to Uncle Sam, charges
prepaid.
Dan Kelly, the, Boy Blacksmith Of
Spokane. woke up the athletic world
one day in June. 1906, with 8 S-S
mark. The performance was held up,
Investigated and probed until fina y
the A. A. U. committee put II on I 2
records as official. But Dan didn't
repeat. He never came near that
extraordinary mark again.
Jimmy Rector of Virginia UNIVERSE
ty went out later and also did 3-S
and people sat up and said, Wei,
maybe he'll repeat" But he didn't.
He failed to equal that mark, either at
Philadelphia in the try outs Or at the
Olympic games in London last July.
1t was believed the So phenome-
non was exploded. when Walker.
who had captured the 100-meter dash
event in the stadium, went to a set
Of games in Abergavenny and did the
100 yards in 2-5.
Doubters have been worrying ever
since about this performance, and
gravely saying that was a fiul1e run,
a dying gasj. etc, but Mr.. Walker,
whose name ought to be Flyer, went
out in Johannesburg, South Africa. a
few days ago. and did the 100 once
more in 9 2-5.
Now that's some running. Arthur
Duffy once remarked that the johann
nesburg track runs down hill 1t
may. But the good-natured Arthur,
who was the first 3-5 man on the
records, was a notorious gun-beater.
Arthur was in the air as the gun was
shot every time he tried the 100. He
told me that while his back was
turned to the starter in every instance
when he competed he seemed to have
q sixth sense that tipped him off as
the trigger was about to be pulled.
Whatever it was that tipped him he
certainly got away with the goods and
the record.
Walker is a native Of Natal, is 10
years of age. stands 5 feet inches
and weighs 100 pounds in his running
clothes. In the final heat OF 100 me
terS at London Walker beat Jimmy
Rector a yard in the record time Of
10 As seconds. Reports of the race
are to the effect that the South Afri-
can had the best Of the start, and
even a snapshot taken as the pistol
went off gives an idea that he had a
shade the best of the flash. But
be this as it may there is not the
least doubt but that Walker is an out
and out good one, for Rector was lead
ing him at half the journey, yet he
had the stuff in him to squirt and
pass the American. facing the worsted.
