FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
RENEWAL OF DECLINES Prompted by Slow Demand for Stocks -Money Continues Easy.

New York, June 10.-The Ianguor of the demand for stocks which began already to be manifest yesterday prompted a renewal of operations for the decline today on a moderate scale. The volume Of the dealings expand ed over those of yesterday, but only to a slight extent. The rumors of the identity of the sellers indivated the suspicion rife in the speculation that a purpose to depress prices for profit furnished the leading motive for the selling.
 The depression was subscribed to dissatisfaction with the railroad rate situation and to the condition in the copper trade. The selling of the cop pers was attributed to large extent to Boston and foreign sources, and it had as explanation the accumulation of surplus stocks of the metal still go- ing on, 8 sharp drop in the London price Of the metal today, and a feel ing Of discoura cement ovar the sua- tained rate of production of the metal with no corresponding expansion in the demand. The selling of United States Steel, at the same time, was an influence on sentiment. The selling of the metal stocks was made to appear as though coming from the financial party which has been credited with maintaining an attitude of dScOntent with the railroad rate agreement. St. Paul. in the meantime, was less con- spicuously under pressure today than on previous days this week.
 The progress of the railroad bill through the conference committee of the two houses of congress is watched with solicitude.
 One of the specific factors of weak ness was the unsupported condition of the Chicago and Alton stocks, which gave rise to the supposition that the dividend on the common stock was to be suspended Its fall to 30 was con- sidered corroborative of the market conjecture. The decline in Toledo, St. Louis and Western as the owner of Chicago and Alton stocks was a nat ural consequence.
 Preliminary estimates of the weeks currency movement indicated a. con- tinued inflow of cash to New York. Interior banks however. are known to be fortifying their cash holdings in expectation of a call from the comp troller for 8 statement of condition.
 Money continues easy in New York, but there is little demand from stock market sources.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, $1,607, 600. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

BOSTON AMERICANS HAVE
 THE KING THIRD EASTMAN.
Where Has He a Competitor Outside
 of Devlin of the Giants?

Who is the best third baseman in the big leagues?' is a question that has been much debated through the winter, and the debate i nfact, has been one of extreme keenness ever since those past masters Collins and Cross, passed out of fast company. Bill Bradley, who would have been a strong candidate has fallen away in corker on the farther sack now plays the outfield. The best man on the third base game today is hard to choose, and every candidate has partisans who back him strongly, but believe. taking all things into consideration, that Harry Lord of the Boston Reds classes as the topIiner of the present day.
 Arthur Devlin is counted by many fans. especially New Workers, as the leader. He has been a wonder in his day and is still star, nut Lord is the stronger player as a batsman and a base runner, while there is little of anything to choose between them in fielding the position. Lord, therefore, outranks Devlin in net value to a team and where outside of Devlin. has he fit competitor? asks w 4. Phelan.
 Sweeney and Getz of the Boston Ma tionals cannot class anywhere near Lord-he won't get any opposition in his own town. Brooklyn, with Lennox, shows remarkably strong player. who may take the topnotch laurels in a year or two. LennoN is a strong bats man and plays third in a style that is as perfect, mechanically, as any one can display.
 Steinfeldt of the Cubs comes just a littl. short of Devlin in batting base running and territory covered. Steiny is agin, but is still a wholly compe- tent man and far from the has-been division.
 Lobert. of the Reds. when in proper form is a good. husky third baseman and better batsman than DeK7in but was way off last season. Eddie Grant of the fQuakers is steadily gaining in all departments and was but the shortest shade under Devlins strength last year. The champion Pirates now use Bobby Byrne on third-a midget who does his best, but is not to be consid- cred top-nacher. Bresnahan has Barbeau and Mowrey. Of these, Bar beau Is even smaller than Byrne, and

 Just as Griffith has said, the game constantly changes. You have to be good all the time or ba SC ball will leave you far in the rear. Tine players of today are twice as versatile and cum nlng Ig as they were eight years ago. For they have had to learn more kinds of deliveries and solve more problems" Mordecai Brown and OrVal overall the two best pitchers of the Cubs, who were listening to the discussion, then broke in and related some of their own experiences. Didn't you often find that the old jump on the ball was not there some days" inquired Over all of Griffith.
 "Yes. it's the same with all pitch-' CTS" returned Griffith. Many a time you don't feel exactly right and. no matter how hard you try, the ball still goes straight takes a fine sweep Nothing doing on the break at this moment q always lose in weight when the ball doesn't jump" said the three-iingered star. 'I re- member one game in New York against the Giants last year. I hon. esty believe it was the hottest day in my career. The sun poured down and l was in perfect stream of sweat. of course that jump on the harder l tried the easier the Giants hit the ball. It was an awful ex- perience. knowing that l could put the old break in my delivery, but not be- ing able.
 Honestly. I lost 10 pounds in that game. I weighed before I left the hotel and also when I returned. And bet there would have been II or 12 if I. hadn't taken a big drink of water right after the game" Both Griffith, who, by the way, was one of the great est twirlers of any day. and Overall agreed with Brown that loss of weight follows such an experience. Both de- clared they had passed through iden- tical experiences. It is indeed a fact that pitchers lose weight in every game they twirl The constant change. worry and exercise, wear far more on them than on any other member of the team. And moreover, they only work once in every three or four days. Constantly they are not in the con- stant razor edge" of condition that their team mates boast of.

MUST HAVE GOODS
 ALL THE TIME
Clarke Griffith Says Baseball is ChangeabIe Game and Players Must Always Be Good.

Clarke Griffith. the Cincinnati man ager, says baseball is a changeable game. Why, I had almost as much speed when I quit pitching as ever in my career. l had more curves, far better control and, I think, more gen eralship," he adds What put you out of it. then?" inquired an interested bystander. "The change in the game" answered Griffith. Take a great pitcher. for example He may have wonderful speed and marvellous curves. a while. Then his day is over. remember in my own experience. I always had a jump on the ball. it's life in other words. But finally that left. It happens all the time"
 Manager Chance of the Cubs echoed Griffith's remark. That is true in the case of our club" he said. Take Lundgren. Carl was a fine pitcher and had all the batters guessing. He games, for they couldn't hit him much. But finally they began hitting him. He had just as much Speed and that old pepper was still there. but the game had changed. The .batters were beginning to like that swift break in fhe ball that Lundy served. So he was no more good to the Cirbs. IT was the same with Jack Taylor He was just as good when he left us as had solved him entirely and hit him hard He had someNhat the same Kind of a ball as Lundgren. So hs was no longer valuable for us. It's for the same reason shid the spitball pitch CTS were no rood for the Cubs The other teams are begfnntng to hit them and the end of ni<cher in biz leagues

FINE BOXING CARD.
Greenwood A. c. Puts on Nice Bouts
 Billy Allen Makes Good Showing.

The smoker of the Greenwood A. C. in New London was well carried out before a crowd of 700, and fine pro gramme of mitt events was given. The officials were Bill Moran, referee;H Tom Donohue, timep; Fred J. West, an- nouncer.
 The opening bout was a six round draw, full of slashing fighting, between Willie Ferguson of Fort Wright and Jimmy Eaton of Fort Terry.
 Abe the Newsboy of New London and Billy Allen of this city went six rounds to a good draw. In the first Allen landed a couple of good lefts. He was winded in the second. and Abe had the best of it. The third and fourth were draws, but Allen came strong and had a shade the best of it in the last two.
 Tommy Shea of New Haven easily took the decision from Kid Williams of Bridgeport in eight rounds, which bathed the Bridgeport boxer in blood
 The last bout was the latest of the evening, ending in a knockout in the fourth, when Kid Murphy landed lucky left to Kid Cushing's jaw. Up to that time the Springfield fighter had shown even with his oppohent.

 Devlin. therefore, may be rated as the star of the National league. with Grant a faint shade below him.
 Baker of the Athletics is tearing. murdering batsman, almost as fre- quently a hitter as Lord, and more on the long range. clean up pattern, He is not as fast on the bases and has a good deal to learn about the me work in fielding the position.
 Tannehill of the White Sox is stin a beautiful player when it comes to held ing the base-the equal of anyone-but has always been a weak hitter. and is growing no younger. Purteil, who bids good hitter and a fast fielder. but quite a way below the Lord or Devlin stand ard.
 Bradley of Cleveland, once n won der on the bases and with the stick is a weak batsman now. He can still field the batting line. Perring. his alternate, is good second rate player. not a star.
 Moriarty of the Tigers is an improv- ing player, good batsman, a fast run- ner-a man who will be mp near the top within another years gain in skill. Austin of the NIiighlanders is 0 fairly good young performer, but certainly cannot be rated as a leading star, either as a batter or a fielder.
 Wallace of the Browns, once a mar vel on third-even better than at short is growing old and slowing up, hence can hardly be counted as a competitor. Conroy of the Senators is a veteran, a fair class performer, but no longer among the headliners.

New York. June 10.-Stanley KetcT1- el knocked out Jim Smith of New York in the fifth round of a scheduled ten round bout at the National Sporting club tonight by a right swing to the jaw.
 It was rough fighting throughout and both men were guilty of holding, although, according to the referees announcement, they were allowed to fight with one hand free in the clinches.
 Smith had a shade the better of the contest at the end of the first round, although he slipped to the floor heav- il yin avoiding an uppercut. ketchel landed heavily with lefts to the stom- ach during the second round, but Cmith was quick to counter with body blows Just before the bell rang Ketchel took a lead with right and left to the head.
 In the third Ketchel, seeing it was to be no easy fight, became thoroughly aroused and with vicious uppercuts broke through SMith's guard and had him dazed at the bell.
 Smith staggred Ketchel with two left hooks to the jaw in the foutrh, but Ketchel's vitality brought him back in a twinkling and the remainder of the round he outfougiht his man.
 In the fifth Ketche1 played for the body. Smith was growing slower and missed many wild swings. His fault throughout the fight was his poor judgment Of distance and inaccuracy. Ketchel forced his man to the ropes. As they broke at the referees cOTn- mand and took the center of the ring, Ketciel saw his chance Smith was trying to come to clinch, but KetcheI met him with a right swing that sounded like cracking in the head of a barrel. Down went Smith and he was still squirming on the floor when Ketchel vaulted over the ropes, aS fresh as when he crawled under them IetcheI was never in distress and nev- CT worried, although at the opening ha led h q a game fight. but was outclased.
 On July ketchel will meet Sam Langford at Richmond, Cal across the bay from San Francisco.

AL though Al Kaufman was plugging away merrily, the champion busted himself with his automobiles, both of which were in need of repair For that reason Johnson spent several hours in a garage.
 He was out on the road $ usual in the morning. He took his twelve mile course in leisurely fashion, completing the distance in something like an hour and B minutes.
 e'The best time over the course,' said Trainer Tom Flanagan, was one hour and 21 minutes. Johnson tested him self on that day, but the fight is too far off for him to be continually sprinting. The last week we will be ing up.'

CLIQUE AMONG CHAMPIONS
 IS CAUSE OF SLUMP.
Pittsburg Paper BIames Wagner and MiHer-President Dreyfuss Says: "It's a Lie!"

Pittsburg. June 10.-The Pittsburs Leader tonight charges that the slump by the worlds champions is due to jealousy among the players Presi- dent Barney Dreyfuss strenuously de- nies all the assertions.

It is asserted in the publication that the slump is directly due to this factional fight because Capt Fred Clarke select ed Flynn in place of Bud Sharpe for first base.
 President Dreyfuss would only issue a statement which says:
 Tt goes against my grain to digni- fy such absurd fiction by denying it, but I will do so to save some of the clubs friends from being misled. The entire story, from beginning to end. is an absolute lie. There is not one word of truth in it."

WoIeast Breaks His Arm.

Milwaukee, Wis, June I0.-Ad WoI- gast's first fight since he took the lightweight championship from Bat ting Nelson on February 22, was a failure and he fractured his left arm. He fought ten rounds with Jack Red mond of this city, in the same ring where he got his start in the cham pionship.
 In the fourth round Wolgast injured his left arm on one of Redmond's el- bows and in the seventh he snapped "A bone in the forearm about three inches above the wrist. Up to the time of the mishap he had a good lead but did not work fast except when occasion de- manded. From the seventh to the fin- ish he was almost helpless and if Red mond had had any energy he could have knocked Wolgast out.
 The newspaper decision gave the fight to Wolgast because of his big lead in the earlier rounds.
