FANS WANT TIGHT GAMES.
Batting Bees Get Wearisome-EVery- body Stays When the Score is Close.

Just why this hullabaloo about the falling of in batting should be made so much of is a mystery. The cry has been taken up all over the country for an increase in stick work We are told that pitchers hold the whip hand and the poor batters are compelled to eat out of their hands, says a Cleveland writer. While it is true that the 1 spit ball and foul strike rule have helped the pitchers, still they have had that most commendable result of short ening the games, greatly to the delight of the players and fans alike.
 The players soon tire of a merry go round baseball game, one in which there is an abundance of hitting. If team piles up IT or IS hits and some 10 or Ii runs In seven innings the men are so near dead from running that in the remaining two innings they make no effort to get on bases. being well satis- fled to be retired in order What Is true of the players is also true of the fans. They become disgusted when one teams makes a runaway race Of game. They would much prefer to have hits and runs about evenly divided so that it would be real contest. In a one sided gS me when one team has the bulge on the other by some seven or eight runs and is doing all the batting 1t is safe to say that between 40 and 
 home before the sixth inning has start ed
 In 2 closely contested game, one of the kind where the home team has the ~other fellows on the hip by a 1 to O score, or vice versa, the chances are that not ! per cent. of the fans will even leave their seats until the last Man has been retired. Of course If both teams are batting and the game is close. the attention of the fans will be held. but in this instance more of the baseball patrons will leave the stands before the game is over than If a nerve-raclking 1 to o or to 1 con- test was on the boards. All of which brings us to the point of whether or not the baseball public really wants more batting or if it is only the hue and cry of the sporting writers. It looks as if the latter is the case. as seldom indeed does one hear real fan yell for more batting. He is satisfied if there is a little batting on both sides. He wants to see real contest. no mat ter which team may be the victor

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
EXTREME DULLNEss.
Market a Neglected and Inert Mass in
 the Afternoon.

New York, March 11.-The perplexi- ties of the room traders today were added to by the want of responsiveness in the stock market to any news de- vsIopments. The room traders them selves gave over their efforts as the day progressed and left the market a neglected and inert mass late in the day. Such a spectacle of dullness is rarely witnessed on the New York stock exchange. It was supposed that the ending of the government's s suit against the Standard oil company would revive some animation in the market Traders bought a few stocks late yesterday, expecting to sell at higher prices to the buyers which which might be attracted today bv the Standard Oil decision. There was no such demand and the realizing sales consequently forced prices downwards
 Acute weakness developed in the Erie issues, accompanied by rumors of a coming receivership. Serious as might be considered such a contingencv
 there was no pressure of selling in the general list Of securities, any more than there had been buying on account Of the Standard oil decision The measure projected for the rescue" of the Erie from a threatened receiver ship by advances from E. T b#lriman was one Of the earliest factors iu start ing the revival of speculative confi- dence following the financial panic. A failure now to take permanent the pro- vision then temporarily arranged would present many suggestions Of unfavor- able purport. The failure to support the Fries today suggested the motive of demonstrating to recalcitrant bonu- holders the possible consequence of a refusal to assent to the financial plan
 such assent on the part of 90 per cent
 of the bondholders being enjoined by the public service commission as g condition of their permission of the plan. The assembling Of the confer enee over anthracite mining wages presented an issue Of which the Solu- ton is awaited. Further reductions in prices of some steel products today and another decline in refined copper rep resented the unsettlement still preva : lent in these great industries. A few stocks moved under the impulse of strs i9l causes; the sugar industrials on hope that import duties would be uad'sturbed: the Interborougf- Metropolitan stock on the new subway proposals; American Tobacco preferred because of the record earnings report ed for last year. and SO on in a few other cases- Bonds were steady.

Connie Mack has so many new can didates for the Philadelphia Athletics that Topsy Hartsei suggested the fifty seven varieties should be tagged for a while.
 Plank. Murphy and vickers appear to be lighter than they were last fall. and as if they had been trained to the hour for a prize fight.
 Harteel, Nichols and Strunk are the only ones who appear to be overweight. Each has taken on some flesh since last fall, but at that neither has more than perhaps ten pounds to take of.
 Bender looks more robust and better than he har looked in five years. un- less his looks belle him. this ought to be a great year for Chief.
 Thomas has the appearance of a man who has taken extra good care to keep himself in perfect shape physically this winter.

French Team Leads.

New York, March 11.-AVeragink a fraction over five miles an hour Cibot and Orphee, the French competitors, who are leading in the six day go as you please race at Madison Square Garden, are gradually increasing the distance between themselves and their nearest rivals. Late tonight the Frecnman had almost a 19 mile lead, and, as they are running in good form, the trainers picked them as likely to win the race barring accidents. There is little likelihood now that the record of ITO miles 1 lap. made in 1902, will be beaten.
 Oxygen was administered to one of the contestants today with good re- suits. Dineen, whose game struggle has attracted attention. showed signs of weakening today, but after oxygen was administered to him he seemed as sprightly as at. the beginning of the race.
 Corey and Hegelman did some fast work late today and displaced Feegan and Curtis from fifth place.

 A dozen other members of the club, who were present as watchers, got so interested in the contest that their mouths opened and shut automatically as the trio ate. Finally they all be- gan to howl for some food them selves.
 Its all gone" said Balvado. With loud cries the twelve rushed out to a restaurant-New York World.
