 FOR POP FOSTER
When Reinstated Will Sign Contract
 Is Tied Up to Tri-State Now.

Ho1yoke. Feb. 24-The report that Clarence Ooop) Foster would be the manager of the Holyoke club for the coming season was confirmed last night by Treasurer Fred A. Winkler. who said that he had just received wire from the Reading man that he would take the local job. Treasurer Winkler said that he was aware that Poster was still on the ineligible list for having jumped the Bridgeport team in 1905, but he felt certain that the player would not have any diffi- culty in getting back into the good graces of the national commission As. soon as Foster secures his reinstate- ment he will attach his name to a Holyoke contract, and this. it is ex- pected, will take but a short time.
 Foster managed the Reading club last season. Now he has tired of the wrangling that has resulted over the appointment of e manager of the Reading Tri-State league club for the coming season and has purchased his

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
LATE UPWARD MOVEMENT
Ended Day of Almost LifeIess Busi-
 ness in Stocks.

New York, Feb. z4.-Dealings in stocks today were scarcely larger than yesterday. The thinness of the market was as marked on the selling side as on the buying side, and it required but a. small absorption to lift prices. It is the scarcity of stocks offering for sale that makes the professional operators wary about operating on the short side of the market in spite of profess ed conviction on their part that no sufficient demand is felt to indicate an accumulation on an influential scale. The tfmddity Of the bears is aggravat- ed by such a demonstration as that of last week in Reading and that of today in the southern group of railroad stocks. Today's movement lacked au- thoritative expianation as completely as did the previous action of Reading suppOsition naturally arose that some financial project was working out designed to change the relation be- tween these properties, already very close by reason of the control of Lou isville and Nashville held by Atlantic Coast LineCand a mutual contr1: of other properties held by Louisville and Nashville and Southern Railway.
 Until the movement in these stocks stimulated some vitality in the rest of thes market it was practically lifeless An early attempt to depress prices met with little success and this, as much as any definite news of conditions, prompted the later upward movement. The quietirg down of affairs in Phila- delphfa was accepted as good news. The offer of arbitration by the Balti- more and Ohio in it's labor dispute made hopeful impression of pros poets for the way in which other dis putes might be dealt with.
 The abstract of the reports to the controller of the currency of the na.- tional banks of the country as of Janu- ary 31st showed the loan expansion since the November 16 report well dis tributed. the New York banks being responsible for less than $1S,000, ,000 of the $SO,715, $50 aggregate increase for that period.
 Bonds were steady. Dealers report an improved demand for bonds. Total sales, par value, $2, ,00o. United States twps, threes coupon and fours advanced 1-4 per cent. on call.

Manager Dooin Will Give Titus s1o Every Time He is Put Of the Field.

In order to put more ginger into the playing of Titus, the Phillies' right fielder, Manager Dooin has agreed to give him $1o every time he is put out of the game this season by the umpire for growing.
 Dooin thinks Titus too easy going and is trying to encourage him to be more aggressive
 Manager Dooin says:
 My one dream is to see Titus thrown off the field in the opening game. If this is done l am convinced then that nothing will keep us from winning the pennant."
 Every player on the Pittsburg club will receive overtime" pay for every hour worked after Oct. IS next. Pres ident Barney Dreyfuss of the Pirates insists that the six months contra cts signed by the men terminate on that date. and that if the new schedule ar engagement approved at the recent meeting in New York is faithfully ob- served there will be a neat bonus com- ing to each man.

GOOD BATTING ALL LUCK.
So Says Three Finger 6rown-Maybe
 So for Him.

When Selee was manager of the Cubs he tried to show us how to bat" said Mordecai Brown during a fam ming bee in the office of President Tier ney of the Three-I league. There were number of ball players present, in- ciuding Second Baseman Schaefer of the Senators, Infielder Charley O'Leary Of the Tigers and Catcher Roth of the Reds- "Selee told us to slug the ball stroke.
 Why, say" exclairl.ed Brown, turn ing to his fellows, you can't tell any body how to bat. l always considered myself lucky to hit the ball at all. You don't know where the ball is coming after it leaves the pitcher and you don't know where you are going 10 nit 1t. You might as well tell fel- low to strike the ball on the trade mark or hit it with the end of the bat. You will have just as good a chance as to do some of the things that the wise boys try to tell you
 There is only one man I know of who is at all sure where he is going to place the ball, and that is Willie keeier of the New York Highlanders. He generally pops a dinly liner be- tween first and second over the heads of the infieIders. That Is because he ing hard, and practically bunts the ball. As a result the fielders lay for him and play close to the infield. But Keeler often is fooled himself and does not nave much success against the pitchers of today.
 Mitchell of Cincinnati, who has had such career the last year with the stick, tells me he has no idea fin the world where he is going to hit the ball or where it is going. He says that he is glad to knock it anywhere. He is just as pleased if it is a safe bunt down toward third as when he knocks the board off the fence in the outdeld. He wf1acks the same for both kinds of wallops and trusts eo luck all the time.
 This fine batter of the Red Sox, Speaker, is another man who hits at all kinds of balls from all manner of positions, just to hit the ball at all. All this kind of talk you hear about placing a ball is tommyrot. A batter where he wants to. Sometimes you see shortstop run to cover second when there is man on first, and the bat ter slices a hot grounder through the place just vacated by the player
 Gee the fans yell, didn't he pick out a dandy spotT Hundreds actually believe that the batter intentionally But he didn't; it was just a great piece of luck. He was merely pulling off the hit-and-run play, in the ma atority of instances, and just had things break right for him, as ball players say. Don't imagine for minute that he picked out that spot. for he couldn't do it, no matter how hard he tried.
 T often have to laugh when hear a new man say that 1t is easier to hit in the big league than in the minors. It is just because the pitchers have not found his weak spots, but when they do he falls back in the .120 class ee9 times out of 1.000."

MoHA sIpEsTEPs cLAsaY.
Badger Matchmaker Forced to Give Up
 Moha -CIabby Bout for Next Show.

It's beginning to look very much as if Bob Moha the local welterweigfIt, was only fooling with his talk about being just wild to get in the ring with Jimmy Clabby, says rhe Milwaukee Journal.
 For two hours yesterday afternoon the matchmaker of the Badger club tried to coax Bob into a match with Mulkern's. champion but finally the matter had to be given up as A bad job, as Bob held too high an opinion of what his services were worth. Finally Mulkern made him a winner take all proposition, but this. too. Moha side stepped, claiming that he could not get a square deal on the decision, which would of course have to be left to the five local newspapers. And so the matter had to be dropped and the pros- poets are that there will be nothing doing in the boxing line here for an- other couple of weeks. Mulkern says that he is willing to match Moorehead with Moha and would be willing to make a little bet that the South Mill waulkee scrapper is the winner.
