At the suggestion OF Justice Scudder the

have already been brought out at the

nomination through a money transaction.
The adjournment from Saturday until

The voices which could be heard from out
OF the gloom yesterday were anything save
encouraging for the Cassidyites and their
nominees. 1t was even hnted in the cas-

Really a Big Asset. Says Pitcher Fai-
 kenberq.

Fred Falkenberg, the lanky tWirler of the Cleveland Americans, says Ty Cobb's one alleged weak spot in hit ting is an asset. It is said Ty can't judge low curve Falky doubts 1T Cobb has just that one defect, and he knows from experience that Ty can hit a, low curve just as effectively as a high ball. even though he doesn't hit it as hard
 T played for Tvs weakness a cou- pie of times.'' said Fallxy, sand came to the conclusion that it would be better to give him a kind of ball he hits hard, relying on outguesslng him. Other pitchers say the same thing.
 A batter does not hit ball square ly when he. cannot judge it. He just nips it. The balls Cobb just nips are the most dangerous ones. The ball rolls or bounds slowly and his speed gives him dozens of hits on these slow inf1eld taps. Cobb can hit anything and his speed enables him to do the rest.
 "The same is true of Eddie Collins only he isn't quite as fast to first base as Cobb. I would rather have either of them hit the ball good and hard to rolling it in the infield.
 Falky says there is more to out guessing good batters than playing for their weakness.
 sThe good batters do not have real weak spots" he said. The only way to fool them is to outguess them. Take Larry Lajoie He would hit close would be over the inside or outside corner. of the plate. The corners both CT more than curves or speed. Larry would hit almost every ball pitched. Those that were not hits would go to the fielders. The other free hitters of of the American league-Cobb, Collins, Speaker and Crawford-would bat all most as Well.''

New York, April 4-With at least one week more of uncertainty ahead as to tho supreme courts action in the anti trust cases, and with all the doubt as to what is to come from the rew congress, whon the supreme court de- street was not inclined to do much in the stock market The excitement of yesterday, when the supFehe court de- cisions were expected so confidently, gave way today to dullness. Price movements were narrow. except in the cases of a few issues which apparentIy were especially selected for manipuia,- tion to lend some appearance of aniA nation to the market. Bullish trad- CTS bft up prices at the opening, but such large volumes of stock appeared on advances that fecessions quickly followed and during the remainder of the session the undertone was rather heavy.
 Almost the only consistent move ment of the day was the advance of railroad stocks which would be affect cd most directly by the conclusion of a reciprocity agreement with Can ada The Hill stocks were especially strong. Canadian Pacific gained four points mora, recovering its recent loss and 2dwamcang to a new high record, and Wisconsin Central, Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic, and Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste Marie all forg- cd ahead.

CUBS LOGICAL FAvORlTES,
 DECLARES MUGGsY INGRAM.
Wrong to Pick New York at 8to to
 National League Race.

4The only good bet on the card, 7 said Manager McGraw of the New York Nationals. as he looked over the prices laid against the clubs of both big leagues by Louisville future book concern, ..is the to offered against Connie Mack's Athletics in-the Ameri- can league.
 Most of the other prices are false odds. They have the Giants quoted as to favorites in the National league, while we ought to be about to 1, with the Cubs at the top of the list.
 Just because Chances team was beaten in the worlds championship last fall is no reason why they should not have first call in the betting this fall may have different ideas on how the race will result, but on past perform : ances the Cubs should be favorites.
 Six to five, though, is not too short a price against the Athletics. They won the American league pennant and the worlds championship last year without half trying and with team that ought to be even better this sea son. The Tigers, though they finished third year ago, are natural second choice.
 Chase has what looks like rattlins good ball club in the New York ,Ameri- cans, but Detroit is the logical betting choice for second place."

With trotters like Pensia Maid, General H., HailWorthy Dudie Archdale Brace Girdie, Startle and other fast record horses which will be in training, the race would be looked forward to with more interest than any other event earded for the coming season and as sociations would be falling over one another in an effort to secure the event for their meetings.
