AL KAUFMAN IS A JOKE
 AS A CHAMPION
During Career of Five Years He Fails
 to Show Any Real Class.

The distinguished young blacksmith, MT. Al Kaufman, is bleating around the country about his heart hunger for battle with Jim Jeffries-a long bat tie. Let us hold this young man up to the light and see what there is in him, if anything.
 MT. Kaufman in an interview recent ly handed out says: T need time in which to whip a good man."
 sYou bet he does, and he has been needing time ever since he broke out of the amateur class, where he was a real divVie, writes c. F. Van Loan.
 Nearly five years ago we heard the first low, sad wall out of the Kaufman camp. Shortly afterWard Philadelphia Jack O'BE T picked young MT. Kauf- man apar. O see what made him go. and then came the first statement about time being needed.
 This boy is a champion of the world" said Kaufman's packers. "The only trouble was that we sicked him onto too good man at the start. He's got to be handled slow and nursed along"
 All right. For the next two years they put the brakes on young Al, the willing blacksmith. Nobody got behind him to shove him hurriedly through to a championship.
 Nothing like that. They staked him to as ripe a. collection of nummieS as might be found in the world, outside the royal tombs in Egypt.
 First they fed Dave Barry to young Al Dave was never a demon, but he had a fine face for punishment Al took his time and finally downed Bar ry in the 18th round.
 Later Al drew Sam Berger, another amateur demon. This was grana fight with reverse English. The two strong boys dumped each other around the ring for ten sad rounds. and there were times when 1t seemed that the gifted young haberdasher was going to win. But in the tenth round Sammy dropped his oar and Al, taking his time, as usual. put it over on him with a dull, sickening thud
 Then to Los Angeles, where Al Kauf- man fought CD that poor old man, George Gardiner. George acted as

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
PRICE LEVEL READJUSTED. Stock Market Opened In Violent Con-
 fusion With Gains.

! New York. Jan. 26-The action ot today's stock market represented q l convulsive readjustment of the price level rather than measured recovery induced by steady demand. This was seen in the fact that first prices of the
 day were within a fraction of the
 highest record. except for the coppers.
 on the merger report The opening of
 the stock market presented a condition
 of violent confusion and with gains
 over last nights prices. The night
 having brought counsel, 1t was real
 ized that yesterdays selling had pur-
 sued the decline down to level scarcely warranted by any condition in the immediate outlook. The fierce rush to buy demonstrated clearly also that
 much Of the needless selling which
 tion and had left uncovered short con-
 tracts on an enormous scale. The
 London stock market advanced prices
 of Americans sharply before the open
 York were a factor in the London ad-
 vance The consequence was a state
 Of embarrassment for the uncovered
 shorts in New York when business was
 ready to begin. Their urgent necessi-
 ties caused the violent gains in prices
 which were registered at the opening
 and which offered a basis for inter
 mittent selling for the greater part of the day. This selling did not become urgent again and gave no indications of the anxiety which was so acute only twenty-four hours ago. The sud- den transformation in the mood of the speculation had little to explain on the news of the day. The extra dividend declared by the directors of the United States Steel corporation after the close of the market yesterday was an event beneficial to the value Of the stock, certainly, and of cheerful import to prospects for values and promise for industrial prosperity. The rate of the dividend, however, the amount of the earnings for the quarter and the vol ume of unified orders on hand had been accurately predicted on the pub lie estimates yesterday, while prices of stocks were tumbling, and for sew eral days preceding. Besides the strong sustaining force Of the necessitous buying by uncovered shorts, there was substantial relief by the extensive liquidation which has been effected and which has cleaned out the weak spots all through the market. An incident of the day was the further collapse to 13 in the price of Columbus and Hooking Coal and Iron, following the appoint ment of a receiver for the property. The final jump in the copper industri- als, with circumstantial reports that the merger was imminent checked a late reaction in the general list from the highest prices of the day, touched during the final hour.
