Lew M0REN OWNS Big
BLOCK OF BOSTON STOCK.

PittSburg, June 21-The death of
Pres. George b. Dewey of the Boston
National League team uncovered here
the name of a mysterious PittSburger
who owns such a large block of stock
in the Boston club. 1t is Lew Moren,
the Philadelphia National League
pitcher. whose father here has unlim-
tied wealth.
1t has been suspected that Barney
Dreyfuss was the man who assisted
Dewey to float the Boston team at the
time of it's purchase from the Boston
men who owned it, and the denials of
Dreyfuss We're not wholly credited here.
When news came this morning of the
death of Mr.. Dovey it was thought the
Pittsburger would be uncovered. 1t
appears from Information given out at
the headquarters of the Pittsburg ball
club that Capt. John Moren, the rich
river master, was the man induced by
Dreyfuss to put his money into the
Boston club with Dewey as head of it.
and that he has since turned the stock
over to his son Lew.

If Pirates Land
Pennant Fred
Clark Will Retire

Pittsblrg, Penn, June 21.-Fred
Clarke, the fighting leader of the Pitts
burg baseball team, who has piloted
his Pirate crew to three National
League championships, is to retire from
the game at the conclusion of the pres
ent season. From no less an authority
than the Boss Buccaneers charming
wife came the above startling informa-
ton.
1t was a recent contest in which
Clarke established the leagues premier
batting record of the season, hitting for
five safeties and total of eight bases.
Mrs. Clarke was in her customary
point of vantage, a box seat, from
which the Pittsburg players bench was
within the line of vision.
Yes If Pittsburg wins the penant
this season, Fred surely will retire.
That is positive"
And the quiet manner in which Mrs.
Clarke made the declaration was none
the less convincing.
But surely he will manage from the
bench after he has given UP active
participation in the sport?'
Never. He simply could not stand
It. While out in the field he is suft-
GENTLY occupied with his duties as a
player to get away from fussing too
much about the game; but on the
bench-well, 1t would be no time at all
until he was a nervous wreck, and
there is no occasion for that.
eft is not generally known. but Fred
did not decide to play this year until
some time after he arrived at Hot
Springs He gave the matter no end
of thought. and finally agreed to try
| for one more pennant.

sNEw YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
The Leading Stocks.

New York, June 2l.-It took several
hours of waiting tactics on the part of
the professional element amongst the OPP
orators in stocks to demonstrate today
their satisfaction that the sharp fall in
prices last week had not attracted any
demand sufficient to form a basis for a
which followed was more severe than on
last Thursday. Selling was almost as
constrained during the early part of the
day as was buying, with the result of
dizziness and liStleSSneSS such as have
not been seen for weeks in the trading.
Heavy. individual selling orders then
|appeared first in one stock and then in
another. The source of this liquidation
was such as to suggest the closing out of
some accounts that have figured cOnspic-
uously in the prolonged campaign for
the rise, and this suggestion made n
strong sentimental effect on the tone of
the speculation and encouraged the pro-
fessional bear element to renew their
aggressive operations by short selling

encing sentiment i'm the fears of bad eff
fects to follow the failure to secure adj
mission for the United States Steel stocks
Selling of United States Steel also car
ried the impression of liquidation of
some important individual accounts The
same appearance in the Wabash securi-
ties served to throw suspicion on the ac-
tive advance which has been effected in
those stocks on vague intimation of i'm
portant developments said to be impend-
ing but which nave entirely failed of
authentic confirmation. Amalgamated
Copper proved acutely weak and the

the reactionary tendency there still i'll

brought out added efforts on the part of
the bears. shown by their raiding tao
tics and by the circulation of unfounded
rumors. One of these was to the effect
that f. II. Hartman had suffered sud-
Gen and fatal seizure in Vienna. This

was the only notable indication of a
check to the movement. Careful observ-

lay stress on the influence of last week S

for a broadening of margins and even
probably as absolute reduction of loans

son of Chelsea and Joe Jeanette OF
New York scheduled to reopen HOSTILE
ties at the Armory A. a. tomorrow
night, local boxing fans will have the
biggest event in the East to take theil
attention this week.
FerguSon'S claim that he was robbed
in the last bout with Jeanette in
Paris a few weeks ago has made the
latter bitter toward the Chelsea boy
and the New Yorker says that he vii
beat Sandy so decisively at this meet
ing that he will have no opportunity tc
offer any excuse.
In the opening bout Young McGregol
will meet Angus McDougal. Both are
fast little bantams and exceedingly
clever Walter Willoughby, the wei
known wrestler, will make his debut
in boxing circles in this city in the
semifinal bout with Andrew Norris OF
East Boston. The mat artist is said tC
be strong, clever boxer.
The other big bout of the week is
that between Leach Cross, the much
touted New York lightweight, anC
Fighting Dick Hyland, to be decided
Saturday at San Francisco.
