NEW YORK FANS
Want THE TRUTH
May Start Another Baseball
Scandal IN Connection With

NEW YORK. Oct. 10.-New York
baseball fans want To know whether
Larry Lajoie was entitled to the eight
hits he made in yesterdays double
header at st. Louis. which decided
the batting supremacy in his favor as
against Ty Cobb. and incidentally won
for him an automobile prize.
The report that the St Louis field
ers shirked and loafed on I.aioia's
grounders and turned them into safe
ties has aroused the baseball colony.
and local sport writer's are asking
whether another baseball scandal will
have to he aired. 1t is considered
significant that seven of I.aioie's eight
hits We're infield gronnders AS Lar
ry is not the swiftest man in the
game, the opinion prevails that the
St. Louis infield deliberately threw.
the batting honors in his way.
IL Larry won honestly, he has the
laugh on Ty Cobb, who in signed
article recently said that l.aioie was
an old-time slugger rather than a
scientific batter, such as himself.

GOOD UNDERGONE IN THE MARKET,
WITH CHANGES GENERALLY
FAVORING BULLS.

NEW YORK. March 12-The short
session was more lively with consider
able irregularity in the price move
ment. 1t was purely a traders market
and on the net results more favorable
70 the bulls. Fractional losses were sus-
tanned in the opening and after the
first few minutes there was a recovery,
with another reaction in the last half
OF the last hour. Much of the trading
was in the way of evening up trades
over Sunday and Monday, for, even II
the street does not expect a decision in
the trust cases for weeks, perhaps
,months, there will always be a num-
Der of traders that will get out Satur-
day and stay out until after the noon
hour on Monday.
The leaders were the Paciics, New
York Central, Chesapeake and Ohio, and
Reading in the rails and Little steer
and Copper in the industrials. The best
show Of strength was in Chesapeake
and Ohio, and Great Northern in the
rails and I'm Locomotive, Copper ana
Cotton OIL in the industrials, although
these stocks, except "copper" were not
among the active spots. The fact van
derbilt lines have disposed Of their
Chesapeake and Ohio holdings indicated
plainly that the Hawley Influence In the
property is dominant and greater than
heretofore anticipated
The activity was well distributed
throughout the list and this gave the
market a better appearance, the under
tone being especially satisfactory to
hOlders-better perhaps than the record
of transactions would indicate.

was consolation to the bulls-but then a
, short interest was created yesterday and
il covered when q was discovered that
the market would not give after the
, first slight reaction.
One of the stories accountable, ac-
cording to the gossip of the street, for
the serious decline yesterday afternoon,
was a report Of Mr.. Morgan's death,
One broker jocularly remarked that the
cause was "the coming out of darkest
Africa of Mr.. Roosevelt"
To the close observer il did not look
like anything but rush OF liquidation,
on hard spots esta bEShed especially
with a view Of getting rid Of stock.
These hard spots Will be made every
little while these days. on a market
with q bear interest waiting to take
chance for quick turn and a bull
interest waiting for d clearing of the
crop of difficulties that stand in the
way OF an excellent advance movement
There are certainly many tareS In the
Way-labOr troubles, high prices, less
ening exports with consequent failure
10 reduce our obligations abroad and
uncertainty as TO the yield of the har-
vests Of 1910.
Money is still easy enough Earnings
are coming in with returns confirming
the weekly and monthly reports and
new reports show a satisfactory condi-
ton. Stories Of equipment orders are
said to be exaggerated, but for all that
there can be no question but what the
orders are numerous and large
New financing is assuming consider
able Importance in many leading roads
and the suggestion of a 500. 900 600 in
crease in the American Telephone and
Telegraph capitalization seems to be i'm
line with the desire to get financing
out of the way before the possible in
terference Of Federal authority.
The net changes for the session are
plainly indicated below With the eX-
Ception of a 2-point loss In Sloss-Shef-
field there was no serious decline.
