MARKET RETAINS HIGH LEVEL.
Commission Houses Warn Customers
of Danger of Reaction.

New York, Aug. 4.-The stock mar
ket has to contend with the growing
conservatism of stock commission
houses which is voiced in the warn
ings contained in advices to custom
ers of the high level of the market and
the danger of reaction. Each day dur
ing which the advancing tendency en-
dures adds to this spirit amongst the
professional element and habitual fol-
lowers of the market. The number of
successive days Of advancing prices
was cited today with increasing fire.
uuency as an evidence that reaction
was imminent. The professional ele-
ment acted on this prospect by putting
out short sales and attempting to force
the reaction. The success of this eff
fort was moderate and was mixed with
the rise at various new points. This
demonstration of resisting power in
the market was accepted as renewed
proof of the control held by large
financial interests of the course of the
market This control has proved so
effective and so formidable that it
serves to intimidate the opposing par
ty in the speculation, which is without
the leadership Of any of the powerful
and resourceful personalities which
have conducted bear campaigns in the
past. The news continues to indicate
enhancing values of securities and the
only question in the speculation is of
the technical position and whether
prices have had already more advance
than they are entitled to. The inn
munity OF the call loan market from
any influence of the shifting timid cur
rency makes a bulwark for the specu-
lative position and encourages the
holding Of securities, many of which
still pay a materially higher invest
ment return than can be secured in
the money market. The crop news
comes of cheering purport day after
day both wheat and corn sharing the
influence of the good advices today.
The publication of the net earnings
for June and Of the fiscal year of the
Hartman lines was signalized by an
advance in the price of Union Pacific
to a new record price. though a SEM
blance of authority was given to init
nations that no change was intended
in the dividend declarations. The in
dustrial specialties we're the favorites
in the days show of strength. Re-
ports of increasing purchases of equip
ment by the railroads imply increased
value for stock in that group. Their
advance is a corrollary also of the
long rise in United States Steel, the
market price of which usually bears an
approximate ratio to that of companies
which use steel in their production. A
number of these have now risen 20 rec
ord prices in emulation of the rise in
United States Steel. The coppers had
the benefit of a higher price for the
metal in London and also of rumors
reported from London of a coming

concerned in the mining, smelling and

STEALING BASEBALL SIGNALS.
To Catch One by Quick Thinking Part
of the Sport, but Trickery Is Not.

To catch a sign legitimately. by OBJ
servation, by quick thinking, is part
| of the sport. Marshall of Brooklyn,
Kane of Chicago, Doolin of Philadel-
phia, are past masters of the art of
seeing what the opposing batsmen are
| trying to do before the effort is made.
| Efforts have been made in the past to
| steal signals by the most braZen trick
cry and unsportsmanlike methods.
/ Perhaps the worst case of this sort
| ever revealed was that of an old Phil
adelphia club of the National league.
Here was the greatest aggregation of
| batters ever assembled on one team,
| but, not satisfied with their natural
! hitting ability, they wanted to know
/ in advance what kind of ball the pitch
err was going to serve so as to in
crease their hitting. One of the clev-
crest men at interpreting signals who
| ever played in a baseball game formu
| lated the plan. Stationing a confed-
crate in the club house in center field.
| he had him armed with a powerful
pair of field glasses with which to
| watch the hands of the catchers. At
| first the confederate signaled batters
| by raising one arm for a fast ball,
| the other for a curve, then when the
| opponents grew suspicious he worked
| from behind a blind and gave the sig
| nal by raising or lowering an awning.
/ IL Tie awning was TdlSeQ d. lew lHCH6S
and held in that position a fast ball
was coming, and if it was raised and
then dropped the signal was for a
curve.
The awning worked well, until 1t was
| discovered, and then the catcher and
| his associates invented something new
| in baseball. They put electric wires
| underground connecting the club house
| with the coachers' box at third base,
and buried small wooden box under
| the ground, the box containing 'buz-
ger" A certain noisy, obstreperous
| players was stationed at third base
with one foot on the box containing
| the buZzer, and as the signal was
| sounded the player stationed over the
| buzzer could feel the tapping under
his foot, and by calling in a secret
word code he warned the batter what
the pitcher was going to pitch
Not a regular player on the Phila-
helphias team batted under 300 per
cent while the buzzeT was in opera
ton. and Several of their pitchers and
| catchers were among the leading bat
tiers of the National league.
Not satisfied with having that much
advantage on the home grounds, the
man who planned the thing followed
his team around the country, renting
windows overlooking the grounds IN
each city and wigwaxging signals to

FIFTY CENTS TO BROADWAY.
A Saving of Twenty Cents from SIAM
ford by Following This Plan.

Stamford people can ride to New

Buy a ticket to New Rochelle ana
then get three zone tickets at five cents

In order to make this route popular
the road has put on nineteen addl-
tional trans-nine down and ten up

whole matter is that the New Haven
road has always been forced TO run
it's trains over the New York Central
track from Woodlawn to the Grand
Central station and pays thirteen
cents for each passenger II thus trans
ports. BY the New Rochelle and Har-
lem river route il runs all the way on
its own tracks. The trip takes only
a few minutes more than the other
route. The chief objection is that no

MAscoTs BRING THEM
GOOD LUCK.
Well Known Players, Who Have Pc
euliar Hobbies, and Carry Strange
Things.

Johnnie McGraw, manager of the
Giants, believes in mascots, but he is
like Manager Lake of the Boston Red
Sox in that respect, for both believe
that small boys bring them luck.
Therefore, Tug Wilson has been the
messenger of good things to the New
York team, while Jerry Mccarthy has
the same honor in Boston. Mike
Donlin before becoming an actor,
never failed to carry with him theat-
rical programme, and Frank Stallings
of the Highlanders carries New
Jersey peachstone. Fielder Jones of
the Chicago White Sox has an Okla
homa gold nugget for a watch charm,
and it used invariably to be in Jones'
blouse pocket when he was on the
field.
Harry Hummel of the Brooklyns
owns a piece of trolley wire which is
never out of his possession. and Lum-
ley of the same team, clings to a piece
of Brooklyn bridge cable. Connie
Mack, manager Of the Philadelphia
Athletics, has nestled in the left hip
pocket of his trousers, a horse chest
nut picked from a tree on the farm
at his birthplace in North Brookfield,
Mass, while Joe Cantillon of the SEN
ators declares his mascot is a lithia

the Phillies wears in his cap a fac
simile of a telegram which once gave
him an option on the purchase of a
league club, and Clarke Griffith of the
Cincinnati Reds slaps his hands to-
gether three times before going upon
the ball field.
Frank Chance, who covers first
sack for the Chicago Cubs, has his
hobby about mascots. Perhaps you
may have noticed that player care
fully examining the grass around first
base during practice. Well, he's just
looking for four-leaf clovers and when
ever he finds one he carries it in his
pocket and announces beforehand that
his team will win. He told me once
that whenever he failed to find an ex-
ira leaf clover he was not at all sur
prised when the Cubs were defeated.
Hughey Jennings of the Tigers has
the same hobby; Roger Bresnahan of
the st. Louis Cardinals, who is a de-
tective in Toledo during the winter
months, always wears his badge of
Office while playing the game, but it
is pinned inside his shirt, over the
