to Macl<s ability to judge and develop
young players. Take the Athletics of
last season. There were many OF the
players who had played but few major
league games before that season. Be-
fore the close of the season was reach
ed it was generally conceded that the
Athletics were the only ones that had IN
chance to head Detroit. And everyone
was givine big share of the credit TO
Eddie Collins. who led Cobb a race for
the batting honors and Pitcher Harry
Krause, who was one of the leading
southpaws of the season. This pair
WAS essentially q Mack product Once
he has his mind made up that a young
MES mind. His Judgment seldom errs,
and when he thinks a youngster villa
do the chance is never missed for the
newcomer to make good.
When the Athletics open up the sea-
son on April IA it would not be sur
troduced. 1t is practically assured
that when the season opens Jimmy
Welsh a youngster from the Connecti-
cut league, will be in the orffield, and
along with him may be Strunk, who
was with Milwaukee last season, and
Murphy, a veteran in the other gar
den.
McInnes is given a good chance for
shortstop along with Barry. who played
the place last season. Davis of course
will be at first. Eddie Collins at sec
ond and Baker at third. Hedtmuller
will get chance to show at first, while
Topsy Hatsel and Rube Oldring' are
still on hand for outfield jobs that they
have held for several seasons past.
With Livingston behind the bat and
is little cause for worry, while with
Bender, Krause. Plank, Dygert, Coonnibs
and Morgan the pitching staff has a
nucleus OF rare quality.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
ABSOLUTE IDLENESS AT TIMES.
Pronounced Waiting Attitude of Specu.
iation-Time Money Hardens.

| New York, April Tt would be diff
cult to extract any broadly significant
conclusions from the neagre happen
| ings in the stock market today. Alb
| sofute iileness is the only term to de-
scribe the market at times. From
| to O'Clock only 5000 shares were
dealt in. There were numerous inter
walls of five minutes or upwards when
| not a single transaction was made on
| the floor of the stock exchange. The
waiting attitude of the speculation is
pronounced. Opinions vary as to what
is awaited. Besides the various re-
pressive factors which it is fett must
| be cleared up before market commit
ments are entered upon, there is a de-
sire to see positive developments out
! lining the future course of affairs. OF
the repressive factors the shadow of
a possible supreme court decision in
the American Tobacco case looms into
the prospect with each approach of
Monday and the decision day of the
court.

tone in the time money market is be-
coming perceptible as well.
A share in REFRESHING activity in
stocks must be accorded to the an
nouncement of the closing of the Bor-
ough bank of Brooklyn, which, like the
Union bank, which preceded it in sUS-
pension, was reorganized after the
panic of 1907 without having been able
to work off the burdens which it in
herited from that panic.
Allowance was made however, for
the special part played by local realty
holdings in both conditions.

Will be novelty If the wondrous Yale
is not exaggerated.
Jim NaSiurn" says of Freine In the
Philadelphia Inquirer:
Freine first attracted attention while
pitching for Santa Clara college. the
institution that turned out Hal Chase.
He won nearly every game he pitched
for Santa Clara, and when things be-
gan to break little badly for his
right hand curves he would switch his
glove to his right hand and begin to
shoot 'em in with his offside paw. This
switching business always nlpped any
threatened batting rally OF the opposi-
ton in the bud, as Freine can steam
them over with ust as much speed and
control with either hand. 1 doubt If
there was ever another ball player born
he has succeeded mighty well in keep
ing it a profound secret
The San Jose team of the California
Stae league, then an outlaw organ

put up a stiff fight to retain F'reine,
but the national commission decided
in favor of the Athletics claim on his
services under the draft rule, and
Philadelphia fans may have a chance
during the coming season to see a
pitcher who can hand them up to right
hand hitters from the right side and
then switch to the port side and bend
them the other way for the left hand
stickers. And, when the switching
comes off, take it from me, there is no
deterioration in the quality of the
pitching.
Last spring F'reine pitched game
against the Chicago White Sox for San
Jose and let them down with six hits,
and that's some pitching for a bush
league team stacked uD against big
league hitters.
Freine hit .236 out in the alfalfa belt.
which is also some hitting for
pitcher, and is a corking good outfield-
err as we'll Everything seems to come
natural to this freak of nature.
Tony Mullane, who pitched for
Louisville and Cincinnati some years
ago, and Elton Chamberlain may be
recalled as players who could pitch al
most equally well with either arm, but
it is not recorded that they ever
changed from one hand to another in
a championship game.

FINISHING SPRING SEASON
FOR NORWICH SOCCER TEAM.
Cup Winners Will PIav Lorraines of
Westerly in Final Event.

The Norwich association football
team closes its spring season with a
game on the Providence street grounds,
TaftviHe on Saturday, and will have
for opponents the fast Lorraine team
of Westerly, which has reputation as
one of the strongest in Rhode Island.
A large crowd is expected to cheer on
the home team from the side lines
when the game starts at 3.15.
Norwich will have one alteration in
the team which beat Plainfield so east
~. The team will be: Goal, H. F'inlay-
son; backs, Wilson and Warning; half
backs, Piling, Caron and Corner; for
wards, A. F'inlayson, Hilton, Brown,
Piling and Parsons. This team is ex-
pected to beat Westerly, but they will
not have such an easy game as they
did last Saturday. IF the shooting of
the forwards is as deadly as against
Plainfield, the Westerly goal tender
will know that he has been playing
football when he gets through. AS
Norwich has won the cup for the sea-
son 1909-1910, the manager requests all
Norwich players to be on hand a little
earlier Saturday, as they are to be
photographed.

POINTERS FOR UMPIREs.
President Lynch Pays Particular At
tention to This Department.

Among the other things that Presi-
dent Lynch said to his school OF UNI
pires was the following:
Always have a copy or the ru1es
with you. and do not make it posi-
BILE for unfounded protests to be made.
The rules now cover every condition
known to baseball. 1t will be impossi-
BILE to make mistakes If you know tne
rules. There will be no special notices
sent out by the National league re-
garding the rules, and there is mo- oc :
casion possible when protests based
on the rules should go beyond the
umpires."
The system of filming players was re-
stored by Lynch. Active players may
be fined s. for discoforing ball or VIC
lating coaching rules. Players serving
as substitutes on the bench will be
fined $40 for boisterous coaching or
comments on the game. The players
will have to pay these fines, too" said
the National league president, be

player" Ordering bench warmer
from the game would be no punishment

teams will give the batting order to
the officials at the home plate before

ems benches. a captains failing to
comply with the new rule will result
in n fine of 50.
The squeeze play was discussed and
it was decided to enforce the rule
framed to prevent interference by the
catcher or batsman.
Lynch led discussion regarding the
position for umpires working on base
decisions All plays between third and
home will be decided by the umpire at
the plate. When there is only one man
on base and the player is on third the
umpire not working on balls and
strikes viii stand on foul ground, it

WATCH CONNIE MACK.
Athletics Look Good for Coming Sea
son.

Whenever the time comes TO start a
ma jo- league season the cry always is
Watch Connie Mack" And well they
may fear this shrewd leader of the
Athletics in other towns of the Ameri-
can league. Times at which Connie
Mack has not had his club right up for
the finish during the history of the
American league are so few that they
are passed over lightly. Twice he has
led his followers to a pennant, once in
1902 and again in 1905. Connie Mack
is the one manager leading an Ameri-
can league club for the coming race
who was the boss of the same outfit
ten years ago. Changes have been
various and many in other cltrbs, but
each season Connie Mack has come up
again with his Athletics.
During this period he has had most
able assistance from the field captain
of the club, First Ba.seman Harry Da-
Wis, one of the shrewdest men in the
business today.
In looking for the secret of the Ath-
letics it can best be said that it is due

NEGLECT TO KILL HORSE
CAUSES OWNERS ARREST
Animal Develops Appetite So Raven-
Gus That Wilmington LiVeryman
Fears Famine Might Come

Charged with failure to destroy a
horse which it was claimed was eat
ing too much after a notice to do so
had been served on him, Henderson
Packwood, a teamster, was arraigned
in Justice Ling's court yesterday and
pleaded not guilty His preliminary
hearing will be set at later date.
Packwood was convicted on a charge
of cruelty to animals short time ago
at Wilmington and given a suspended
sentence of sixty days and ordered
not to use the horse. He placed the
animal in a livery stable to be fed.
After the beast had been there a while
complaints were received by Pack
wood that the horse was eating too
much, and if he did not come and take
the animal away and kill it he would
be arrested. Packwood neglected to
pay any attention to the notice and
consequently was arrested. He was
sent to Jail in default of $10O bail.
