NET DECLINES FOR THE DAY.
Yet Speculative Sentiment Was Cheer
ful-ciosing Was Weak.

New York, March 9.-The semblance
at times today of gr eat strength and
borne out by analysis of the movement
which resulted in net declines for the
day. Speculative sentiment, neverthe-
less, was cheerful and confidence in
values was well maintained, which
doubtless fulfilled the purpose of the
supporters. That concerted support
was responsible for the movement of
prices was the impression given by the
action Of the market.
Operations conferred markedly in a
few stocks, of which Union Pacific,
New York Central and United States
Steel were the conspicuous examples.
The raising of the dividend rate on
New York Central to six per cent. was
in accordance with expectations form
ed by the previous liberal disburse-
ments by subsidiary companies, in
ciudin~ the recent six per cent. extra
dividend on Lake Shore stock A fur
Their sharp rise in New York Central
with the expected good news out
warranted a favorable ausury of the
general speculative position. bringing
cut moderate pressure of realizing
sales. The good news on the market
was 8 large factor in lifting prices in
other portions of the list. That large
selling to realize was pushed under
cover of the sustaining force OF these
advances was also plainly true, as
proved by the uneven and tagging re-
Spouse of the general list to the ad-
vancing tendency and the later ma
terial reaction. The quick sale made
of bonds of minor road in the sub
sidiary Lake Shore system was an in
cident of the days rise in New York
Central. That other financing by that
com pany is intended which will be
helped by the strength of the stock
offers further explanation OF the pro-
lection given to its movement The
wider advance in Union Pacific was a
direct outgrowth of the New York Cen
trail dividend action. Union Pacif1c'S
holdings of New York Central are not
large enough to make the increased
disbursement of great Importance to
it's income, but its variety of treasury
holdings and the differences implied in
a general policy of dividend increases
on these holdings appealed to the spec
ula,tive spirit
A sharp fall in foreign exchange
rates was an incident of the day that
is important, in view of the expanding
demands on the New York money mar
a large seller here again, in spite of
subscriptions to new bond issues. The
opening decline in prices was caused
by that selling. The coppers and
United States Steel were notably af-
fected. 1t was from that depressed
level that the later advance set in.
That fact and the final sharp setback
the comparatively narrow net changes
on the day. The course of the news
from labor controversies was not liked
and the reports of the resolution in
favor of a general strike by the Penn
syIvania Federation of Labor caused q
material reaction in the hna2 hour and
the weak closing.
Bonds were firm. Total sales, par
value, $4,434,000. United States tYos
declined 1-s per cent. on call.

The biggest crowd of the season by
long odds gathered in the Windham A
C.'s rooms at Willimantic on Wednes-
day evening and was well repaid by
witnessing a good card. The sport
opened with a wrestling match be-
tween Young O'Connell and Pike Bar

minutes 10 seconds, respectively. Bill
Collins of Central Village refereed.
The second prelim was to have been
round boxing. exhibition between
Monk McQuillan and Kid Wilkerson
at the end of the first round, as it
was apparent that Wilkerson was too
clever for the Sodorn youngster. Col
Inns and Wilkerson furnished four good
rounds to complete the preliminary.
The main event was six 3-minute
rounds Of good fast boxing between
Abe the Newsboy of New London and
Frank Mclean of Willimantic. This
event was corlzer that well satisfied
the crowd
Abe had the weight, Mclean the
skill and quickneSS. The last two fac
tors enabled Mclean to easily outpoint
his game but more sluggish opponent
in ever round. There were several
clever footwork by Mclean. Most of
the Newsboy's blows landed on the
body. while those of Mclean were
placed wherever he wished them to
land. At the conclusion, Abe stated
to the spectators that Mclean was
far better man with the mitts than
Billy Allen. Shaun Sullivan refereed.
William Mallon and L. n. Dondero

ELEVATE BATTERs' BOX
TO KILL THE SPlTBAI..
Wouid Give the Stickers Chance
against the Moist DELIVER.

II the earnest gentlemen who are
tinhecJg year by year with the rules.
ar.f who always declare that they
want tp he'll, re downtrodJea Nag
men, would try simple and harm
less experiment or two they might
gain some valuable information and
be placed in fair way to solve the
problem of the fading averages. There
is a lot of time between now and April.
Why not try the experiment of rails
ing the batters' box and giving the
hitter the advantage of elevation, so
long conceded to the pitchers? says w.
a. Philon-
For several years the pitching slab
was placed on hill' and this was
carried to such a pass in some parks
that the hurler was on a veritable
mountain, from which he sent his whiz-
zing surves down at the batsman. The
rules now provide for only a moderate
elevation Of the pitcher, but he still
has all the best of the situation.
Elevating the batsman might not
help the straightaway hitting so far
as most of the curves are concerned,
but it would end. once and for all. the
greatest nuisance of which the bats
men have implanted during recent
years-the spitball That noxious and
Shiny pest is a low drop shoot so far
1t breaks about the height of the
knee and bangs like wet lead into the
catcher's fins, held down near his
ankle. Put the batsman on a hill and
TIE SplLDdI1 IS dOnes IOT.
Pitchers admit that they cannot
throw the spitball high. 1t won't work
right when it breaks way up, and il
thrown low, with the batsman on a
HILL it would simply hit the turf for
a called ball. In other words, elevat-
ing the batter ends the spitball and
kills off nuisance of the game.
There are other 4 advantages which
would be given the batter by elevat-
ing his position He would get a
fairer fiercer swing at many shoots
and he could drive the leather at a
more difficult angle for the infield to
capture. With the hill on a proper
slant, he would also pick up speed and
impetus on his way to first and beat
out many inf1eld Founders that are
now sent across ahead of the runners.
The scheme looks worthy of trial.
and if it wouldn't work it would take
only a few demonstrations to prove 1t.
This idea looks good So does the
three ball proposition. The opponents
of the three ball idea maintain that
it would result In too many bases on
balls, thus deadening the game.
Nothing of the sort. Nearly every
pitcher now wastes one or two balls,
deliberately, sending them wide in
hopes that the batsman may foolishfy
swat at them, which he doesn't do
once in 81 times. With a three ball
rulte. the pitcher would simply have
to cut out that sort of idiocy. He
would have to feed the pills across
the platter straight and true, and the
batters would get fair, square whack
at the leather. That would improve
the batting from the start, and would
penalize only the wilder hurlers.
If something isn't done to offset the
progress of the pitchers, 1t will be
only two years before there will be no
800 hitters, excepting maybe Cobb,
of .250 will be considered splendid bif-
fing.

THE WAY LEWIS ESCAPED.

Has 1t come to this in Paris that a

Willie Lewis won't offer his own jaw
Willie has conquered all Europe. He
has squashed every lemon in France
and England. He was g. king and there
had to be something more for him to
conquer. Willie's courage, which new
er sold at par in the United States,
was worth many times par in Paris.
So Dan had sent to the United States
for something tough. He got Harry
Lewis, and you know what lacing
Harry handed to Willie for twenty
rounds. Bill Papke also was on the
way and arrived in time to see Willie
and Harry CO. Willie was not so con-
fdent after Harry got through with
him and every time he thought about
Papke he had a chill. He well re-
handed to him in Pittsburg and he
rshrfdered to think of twenty rounds
of that kind of stuff.

Something had to be done of course.
It wouldn't do to let the worshipping
Paris public know that Willie's old
trouble had returned. Right there is
where Dan McKetrick showed how
great a manager he is.
''Who told you you could fight? ' Dan
yelled at Papke the next time they

Dan.

Dan McKettrick's jaw had received

to the manager of the big fighting
club. ct won't let Willie fight a man

Papke must be run out of Paris for

Papke is on his way home, they say,
wiser and poorer. Now he knows what
it is to pit himself against a live

woLeAsr FOR cLAssY's SECOND
Jimmy Expects to Have the Champion
in His Corner.

When lightweight champion AID VOL
CAST was starting out to climb the pu-
g1listic ladder he left his home town
of Cadillac, and for a time made his
headquarters at Milwaukee. Here he
was pal of Jimmy Clabby, and the
two boys boxed many practice bouts.
Now Ad is expected back in Milwaukee
and is looked to be there in time to
second C1abby on Friday night when
he meets Jimmy Gardner of Boston.
AID WolgaSt, the new king of the
1ightweights, and his manager, Tom
Jones, are expected to arrive in Chi
cago early this afternoon. Ad will run
up to Milwaukee, as the new champion
is anxious to see his former friends.
However. his stay will probably be
short this time. as he is also anxious
to return to his home town, Cadillac,
Mich, where a big reception is await
ing him. says a Milwaukee exchange.
If possible, Wolgast will return to
Milwaukee Friday night in order to
help his old stable mate, Jimmy Clab-
by, in his battle with Jimmy Gardner
at the Hippodrome. Wolgast has prom
ised Frank Mulkern that if he can
shape his plans accordingly that ne
will be here and act as one of Clabbys
seconds. Clabby is tearing off some
lively work in his training for his
coming bout. Yesterday Gardner ar
rived in Chicago and reports from
there this morning that he viii stay
in the Windy city and finish his train
ing there. Gardner says that he is
already in good shape, and he is down
to $50 pounds, which bears out the
statement.
