FINANCIAL And COMMERCIAL,
SPECULATIVE DIsoUIET
eliminates in Acute Weakness in the
Final Hour.

New York, March ia certain
amount of speculative disquiet was re-
fiected in the stock market today and
the vigorous supporting measures from
time to time were not sufficient to ov-
ercome the effects. Weakness became
acute in the final hour. The support
was ascribed to the powerful banking
interests which have in hand the f1ota-
ton of the bond issues, the volume Of
which is constantly expanding.
The weeks currency movement shows
a shifting in the tide of the interior
movement away from New York. and
New York exchange at Chicago rose
to par today.
The rumor of ]. Pierpont Morgans
death. originating in London. was cir
culated concurrent1y with its authori-
tative denial. Belated selling of stocks
from outside sources was attributed,
nevertheless, to this rumor.
The principal support of the mar
ket conferred on United States Steel.
The buying of this stock was very con-
centrated in character and suggested
resumption of pool activity. Southern
Pacific was the main point of strength
in the railroad list. This did not pre-
vent acute weakness in Union Pacific.
Analgamated Copper suffered from
the bad condition in the metal trade.

REULsAcH LIKES SLOW BALL.
Cub Pitcher to Practice Hard for Con-

Control rs one of the salient esson-

pitcher who wins his games nova

to control says Ed Reuibach of the
Chicago Nationals. 1t may be only
little ON the ball or it may be
whole lot. but the boxman who relles
on his ability to put the ban across

training camp at New Orisans in

never worked before to gain control.
Speed when mixed with coniroi con-
stitutes a combination too strong for
any sIugger in the game, but the slow
ball when properly applied is equally
unhittable. That's what 1 am going

league and for Notre Dame, I was rat
ed the widest man that ever stepped

four weeks of the season when the
weather was cold or just beginning to
blossom into summer. / had the same
experience in 1904 while with the
Montpelier and Barre club up in Yer
mont. In each of the five seasons
since I Joined the Cubs, the old, old
story has run true to form. and it
seemed as if I never could get the
ball going right. Just as soon as sum-
mer rolled around my trouble van
ished. There's where Carl Lundgren
had 1t on lot of pitchers. He could
go at top speed in the coolest kind of
weather, mighty valuable attain
ment.
Just word or two on the spitball.
I tried to master it some time ago, but
gave up after few experiments
Pitchers grow old in baseball all too
soon and there isn't any reason in
fastening the exit The spitball slow
ly but surely tells on the pitcher who
uses it altogether, whereas the curve

properly mixed with other curves, does
