A WOMAN'S IDEA OF BASEBALL
By LULU CHASER COMIC OPERA PRIMA DONNA.

7 JUST love baseball. l thinks it's
the greatest game in the world. Next
to being a star on the stage, l think
that there can be no other life as at
tractive and full of incident as that of
a baseball player. If | were a man l
would surely try to get out and make
good with one of the big league teams.
l know the game pretty well. In fact
l feel safe in saying that there are
very few women in the country who
follow the game more closely than l
do. In every big city in which l am
playing l go out to the ball games ev-
cry possible chance | get. There's
nothing in the world, not even the first
night appearance with a. new play,
that's so exciting as watching a man
smash out a long hit with three men on
bases. Why it makes one feel glad
to be living for days afterward. l was
talking with reporter in Boston a
short while ago, and l have reason to
think that l surprised him with my
knowledge of what he called essentially
a mans game. In fact. in his headline
with the story of the interview, he
declared that in my case the accident
great star. | believe that women were
it not for the conventionalities, would
excel the members of the STRONGER
sex when it came to playing ball. They
have the high nervous temperament
and the quickress of perception that go
to make up the good ball player. Then
they would be far more daring and
willing to risk their chances on some
sudden strategic move.
My favorite ball team is the Pitts
burg club of the National League.
Pittsburg is my home and I always
root hard for the Pirates. These boys
certainly had their share of hard luck
in the pennant race last season, but
this year you've probably noticed that
they are running away from all the
others. And l feel secure in saying
that there going to stay in front until
the season closes. OF course my favor
lite player is on the Pitsburg team, and
of course he's Hans Wagner. Every
one who knows anything at all about
baseball, knows that there is no one
living who can compare with the great
Dutch shortstop. No matter what de-
partmcnt of the game you look at, he's

make more hits. steal more bases, and
score more runs than any other player
in the country is surely Il person to be
admired. He seems to be awkward,
but really you'll have to call him grace
full. He invariably accomplishes what
he sets out to do, and he does it with
the greatest speed and accuracy. OF
course he is not an artists model as to
physique and countenance, but he is
far more interesting to watch than

DOTNGS IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS
The Markets.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of tho Days Dealings in All
Tho Leading Stocks.

New York. June 25.-The action of the
stock market today was not illuminating
in showing the state of financial senti-
ment. The constant backing and filling
of prices indicated lack of conviction and
hesitation about pursuing a price move
ment in either direction. There were pc
RODS of weakness alternating with pc
RODS of strength. and neither was a re-
Spouse to any known news. The reac-
tionary movement of the Union Pacific
stocks rather discredited the rumors that
had been used to push the preferred
stock to 40, and the publication of the
plans of the Southern Pacific company for
mergin" and organizing its Mexican prop
critics aroused a suspicion that this might
be the matter that had given rise to the
Surmises of a coming Hartman financial
plan. The speculative contest that was
going on was waged insstently in Read
ing and the cratic fluctuations in that
stock kept the whole market unsettled.
Many thousand shares were taken at last
nights price after the opening in an eff
fort to hold it. "A decline of a point and
period of Wavering fluctuations were
followed by a brisk advance. which plac-
ed it more than two points above last
nights price
The publication of the preliminary es-
Inmates of the weeks currency move
ment was an influence in lifting prices of
stocks. The promise of large cash gain
gives assurance of resources to meet the
demands of the July LIST settlements, al
though the enormous inflow of cash from
the INTERIOR from another point of view,
gives little sign of expanding demands
for the use of money in business. The re-
ceipts of cash from the interior seem to
have exceeded the shipments by upwards
of s1O,0OO.OO0, which is the largest move
ment for any one week of the season.
Bonds were steady. Total sales, par
tered declined and the coupons ] per
cent. on call.

HARRY LEWIS SLIGHTLY
BETTER THAN MANSFIELD

Philadelphia, June 25-Harry Lewis
of this city was slightly better than
Harry Mansfield of England in their
six-round bout at the Broadway "A. C..
Friday night. The night was not a
good one for real snappy boxing, but
both boys put up remarkably good
fight The first two rounds belonged
to Lewis, who used his right to the
BritiSher's jaw and body with good
effect. In the third and fifth sessions,
Mansfield did his best work, putting
right uppercut to Lewis jaw in the
clinches.
