New London, Conn, Nov. 29.-Al-
though no decision was given, Young
Wagner of New York had the better
of Jack Doyle of Philadelphia in a ten
round fight here tonight which took
place in the Lyceum theater under the
auspices of the Greenwood Athletic
club. With the exception of the third
and eighth rounds, Wagner was faster
and cleverer than Doyle and showed
his superiority all the way. Doyle,
however, put up game fight and 1T

Abe the Newsboy had the best of the
argument from start to finish.
In the seni-final Joe Marcks of New
Haven knocked Young Wilkinson of
Wilimantic out in the third round of

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
ADVANCE FIRMLY HELD.
Last Prices at the ToP-Narrow Range
of Fluctuations.

New York. Nov. 29-The subsistence
of the turmoil in today's stock market
afforded a strange contrast to yester-
days disorderly decline. The dealings
did not fall back to last weeks low
levels by any means, but the decreas-
ing activity and the narrowing range
OF the fluctuations suggested q return
OF the same conditions of neglect and
indifference. The advances were firm
ly held and last prices were at the
top.
The gloomy views of the Industrial
and, especially, ttte railroad outlook,
attributed to James ]. Hill, continued
to absorb large share of attention
and discussion. It was evident that
consideration of the matter overnight
left conviction that the violence of
the effect produced in yesterdays
stock market by Mr.. Hills utterances
was disproportionate. The bear inter-
est stood ready to take profits by COW
ering shorts. There was a reported
disclaimer from Mr.. Hill himself of
timents. There were reports also Of
dissenting views from other capitalists
and bankers. ALI this served to take
the edge off the effect of the matter
in today's stock market OF even.

ception that, In their essence, the Hill
remarks were largely g. repetition of
former assertions from the same
source and also of what are known to
be convictions Of other Influential
authorities in the railroad world. rs
pecially in the bearing on the steel
industry, it was realized that the head

this assumption that underlay the
whole of the pool movement in the
recent stock market.
The pool position continued the Gen.

ton as a whole. The rise in the pro-
States Steel to one-third Of the ag
gregate, with Reading and Union Pa
cifc supplying nearly another third,
these three stocks being the medium

heavy part still played in the deal

days severe decline was supposed to
mark the abandonment of hopes by
the pool managers of distributing their

Nearly a million dollars in gold was
taken again today for Canada and San

major leagues for young players for
next year. The Is clubs in the two
leagues have paid out $387,000 for
youngsters who are to be given a
chance to show whether they are fast
enough for the big leagues next year.
The American league owners have
spent S53,100 more than the National
league, the American leaguers paying
out S225,000 while the National leaguers
paid s161, $50 for the new men they will

chased and drafted players with a
grand total of $4AJ35o, and next on the
list comes the Chicago club with

CUBS BELIEVE GOLF
BEST KIND OF EXERCISE.
Excepting Baseball No Other Pastine
so Good for Ball Players.

There's only one exercise that the
Cubs like better than baseball.
It's played with a club and ball, just
like the national paStiTne only it's en-
tirely different.
And the Cubs believe it gives a man

play golf. They play it like fends.
They play it by the hour-which is,
when you come to consider it, about
the only way to play golf.
Battling against such pitchers as
Mathewson, Rucker and other great
tain driving power in their arms that
comes handy in golf.
They tell a little story about Zim--
norman. One day at Cincinnati he
seen on Garry Herrmann's grounds.
The next day he was playing golf.
Somebody had been telling him that
III he could hit baseball more than
900 feet, as he had done in Cincinnati,
he ought to be able to send a golf ball
a mile.
The result was that he almost twist
ed his arms out Of their sockets and
had a sore back for two weeks. When
he finally did land on the ball it jump
ed about thirty yards and then stop
ped dead.
In spite OF that Heine stuck until
he learned how to play golf in good
shape. He is one of the best players
on the Cub team, and that is saying
something.
Another great baseball player who is
keen for the golf game is Russell Ford.
Ford. you know, is the youngster- who
has made good In such startling fash
ion for the Yankees. His first year in
baseball has been a wonderful one. The
Yankees got him from the Jersey City
club of the Eastern league, and he
proved one of the greatest finds of
the year.
And Ford is strong for golf.
AS soon as the Yankee Giants series
was over Ford thought it would be q
good idea to make q trip down to Mud
lavia Springs, Ind. And at MudIavia
is fine golf links.
1t was Ford's idea to rest UP in Mud
1ayia.
1t was all off, though, when he got
glimpse OF the golf course. Every
morning he is UP early and tranlping
over the turf. For good part of the
day he is trotting around after that
little ball.
He isn't getting much rest.
But he says he is having the finest
tirne he ever had in his life, and also
that one hour of golf is worth two of
rest.

NEW PITCHING AVERAGES.
Officials of the Major Leagues Work.
ing on New System.

Officials OF both major leagues now
are collaborating to devise nea-
system of recording the work of a
pitcher during a championship season.
In the new order of things the total
number of Innings a man pitches dur
ing the year will cut a prominent 1g-
ure, because the pitcher who is in
shape and ready to work hardest and
oftenest is bound to be the most valu-
able man OH his teams staff. The act
ual ranking of pitchers next year I'M
doubtedly will be made upon some
basis to be determined by taking into
account the number of batsrnen who
face pitcher in a, season, the number
of mem whom he retires and the num-
Der who reach first base against him.
Whether or not the dope will be fig
ured SO closely as to eliminate from
the pitching records the men who
reach first on errors cannot be predict
ed
indefinitely, however, if the practice of
changing pitchers had mot been car
ried to such extremes as manager
have carried it in recent years. Games
in which only two pitchers, one on
each team, are engaged have been less
frequent this year than those in which
more have been used. Contests in
which four pitchers are worked on
each team, or eight in one game, are
not at all infreauent. On one holiday
this year in one major league thirty
eight pitchers took part in eight
games To evolve out of such a tangle
as that any idea of which pitchers
should be credited with the victories
and to whom should be charged the
defeats is an almost hopeless task To
do it with Justice to all is impossible.
Next season g, pitcher who will rank
close to the top with q Championship
team behind him making plenty of
runs for him would most likely be
found near the bottom of the list if his
lot were cast with q tail end team. He
might be almost as effective against
opposing batsmen III one team as an
other but the official records would
not show the fact.

RED sox WILL LOSE sTAHL.
Jacks Wife Insists That He Retire
from the Game.

When the umpire calls play at the
opening of next season, and the Red
Sox team, ready to start another cam
pa1gn for the ever elusive pennant,
takes the field, ready for the music to
begin, the Boston squad will, in all
probability. be minus the services of
one OF it's most trusted fixtures.
Lured by the rustic of the banknote
to a certain extent, preferring the jim
gle of Uncle Sans coinage to the
shrek Of the horsehide as it carroms
from the bat, the veteran Jake Stahl,
hero of thousand games, the man
whose mighty sWats SO often wrought
destruction to an opposing pitchers
hopes, will not wear the uniform that
stamps him as a member of the Bos-
ton American aggregation.
For a woman's pleadings have over
como Stahl's love of the great national
sport at last, and after years of inter
cession the hard-hitting Jake has de-
cided to give UP the sport that meant
so much to him and retire to a posi-
and the applause of the grandstand
will reach his ears no more.
This decision, which robs the AM
erican league Of one of it's shining
lights and leaves as well an awful gap
in the ranks of the Red Sox, has not
been hastily arrived at by the good
natured Jake. 1t will be much against
his will that the big first baseman set
ties down to the quiet and monoto-
nous occupation of a Chicago banker
and time and again the call to the dia-
nond may penetrate even into the
strong room and fill the veteran with
vain regrets.
Had Jake his own way, had he no
one but himself to consider, the chan
ces are that the big fellow would hang
on still and cover the first sack until
old age or the gradual going back
nf the Veteran had rnbha6 him of hiq
usefulness in the big leagues. But
Mrs. Stahl at last has had her own
sweet way and the call that Jake was
deaf to for SO long has finally been
needed.
Ever since the two were attending
the University of Illinois, where Jake
was a member OF the football and
baseball teams ard Mrs. Etahl was
one of the fair CO. eda,'' the two have
been all in all TO each other
