In the Academy's scheduled game this afternoon against Putnam high school on the local campus, there will be some shifts in the N. F. A. lineup, a $ Coach Au1tnan is out to develop new pitcher for the league games that are coming, and Charlie Crocker, who has been playing second, will be given chance to do box duty.

 1'he same difference of opinion ex- tends into the ranks of the pugilists. It Is possible to start an argument at any time or place where boxers gather by introducing the subject of the John son-Jeffries fight, and the probable winner. Jim Corbett Tom Sharkey, Frank Gotch, Battling Nelson Ad Vol gaSt and many others have gone on record as predicting a victory for the Californian. Johnson's side of the ar gument has been taken by Owen Moran, Tommy Ryan. Joe Cans, Stan ley ketchel, Billy Papke and others, just as numerous as the Jeffries con- t1ngent. It is this very difference of opinion, both among pugilists and pug llistlc followers, that points to the big battle being a record breake from wagering standpoint

TEMPORARY RELIEF.
EMPORAKY REETEF. Stocks Rebounded but Break in Cop pers Brought Weakness Again.

New York. May 3.-Stocks rebound ed today from the depression whicf has been forcing them to lower price levels, but the relief proved only tenn porary, a break in the coppers caus-
 ing acute weakness again. Apparently
 the principal relieving factor was
 found in the money market, where call
 loans opened at 1-2 per cent, com
 pared with the six per cent. opening
 rate yesterday morning. This was
 partly the effect of the reappearance In the money market of the amounts disbursed in interest and dividends on the first of the month
 Another influence was the surprise felt over the small effect os the large payments which had to be made yes terday for the cotton accepted by pur- chasers in compliance with the notices from sellers last Friday to the amount of 175.000 bales. This requirement. for nearly s13,00o, 900 must have been financed mainly elsewhere than in New York. presumably in Chicago and in New Orleans, and, in the latter case, ultimately in Paris. Call money also rose to 1-2 per cent. before the close.
 The irregular tone developed in the later market found some explanation in the confused views entertained of the technical position. Some pains were taken to spread the impression that important inside interests in the great corporations had set about re- l. This was done by the insinuation that large amounts of stock which had been returned to lenders represented this process. the stocks having been bor- rowed for delivery to conceal the ori- gin of the selling at the higher levels. The first inference to be drawn from return of borrowed stock would be that the short interest had been re- duced and the technical position weakened but this more subtle view of q strengthened market position.
 Similar confusion was manifest in the reading of the political horoscope. The compromises proposed in the rail- road legislation now before congress were regarded, in the first view, as a possible presage of the defeat of the whole programme of amendment of the interstate commerce law. A realized accept them as a strengthening of the radical forces working against cOrpo- rations. Increasing importance was a attached, also, to the proceedings by the attorney general in the matter of wire transmission of quotations. There was seen in these a suggestion of fn- tended measures to hamper specula- tive transactions based on price fiuc- tuations which might encroach on the field of stock market activities.
 The public reception accorded to the proposed advances in railroad rates was not re1ished in the stock mar ket.
 The yvaverinz hesitation of the spec uIation only needed the late slump in the coppers to turn the whole market again. Reports of wide in the selling price of cop per were the grounds for the drop in these stocks. The heavy demand at the decline and the rebound in these stocks pointed to the raiding tactics by the bears as 2 probable cause for the slump.

MANY THOUSANDS IN WAGERS
 ON JEFFRIES-JoHNS BATTLE
Prediction That the Wise Money Will Be On the Negro-But Big Following Sees Only Jeffries.

Judging from the preparations being made for the handling of betting com missions on the JOhnsOn-Jeffries bat tie on July 4, the contest for heavy weight supremacy will be one of the greatest events upon which Sportsnen have wagered in many years It is believed by those who carefully follow the trend of such matters that the amount of money which will be in the hands of stakeholders when the pugilists enter the ring will run into
 many hundreds of thousands of dollars
 The bout set for Independence day contains so many angles which have never been present in previous ring con1bats that there is a. wide division of opinion to the ultimate winner Jeffries, in his prime as a. pugilist, was considered to be absolutely invinci ble. Fighting at a time when the heavy weight ranks contained a. most for midable list of competitors, he twice went through the list, sweeping all be for him in his climb to the champion ship. This record, which has not been eXcelled in modern pugilistic history, gave him a following such no other fighter has ever had. The admiration which his performance aroused among pugihstic enthusiasts has never been dinmed.
 To a great extent it holds good to- day despite the fact that JeffrieS has not fought a contest of any import ance in almost half a decade. In what little wagering that has been done on the coming contest he has been a pro nounced favorite and the prediction has been made that he will enter the ring a two to one favorite over the negro. This belief Is said to be based upon the idea that Jeffries admirers. remember ing his ability of the past. will back hffn regardless of statements that may come from his rivals training camp. The situation was summoned up by i well known Spor ts<nan and better, when the said the other night:
