FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
SHARP DECLINES IN PRICES.
Fear of Tariff Legislation One of the
 Depressing Influences.

New York. March 2--Sharp declines among the stocks more commonly traded in resulted from heavy selling today on the stock exchange. The and almost all of them, with the ex- ception of Reading, fell below the low level established last Friday. following the announcement of the freight rate decision. The market opened weak and sold off fin the first hour. In the aft ernoon the selling movement was ex- tended and there was q further break The market grew feverish and fell off steadily to the close, which was at al- most the lowest prices of the day. Liquidation of long stocks was in part responsible for the downward move ment, although short selling reached large proportions and was a potent factor. Stocks showed little evidence Of support, the day passing without an upturn of consequence
 Nervousness as to the outlook for the
 near future was apparent in the growth
 tra session of congress was definitely
 expected at Washington were the most
 disturbing element, and served to in- crease apprehensions of tariff legisla-
 ton. The approach of Monday, with
 it's possibilities of decisions by the su- reports of possible dividend reductions by important eastern railroads, were further deterrants to bullish opera tions.
 The day was not without good news. although traders were not in the mood
 to place great weight upon it. The
 announcement by tf,e head of the liar riman lines that double tracking of those roads was to proceed, regardless of the freight rates decision, was fol-
 lowed by @ statement of the Erie di-
 rectorg intention to expend all surplus
 for the year over fixed charges for i'm | provements. The Fries January report which was among the days budget
 showed an increase of $10O,000 in net earnings of the main line. Delaware l 6 Hudson, and Chicago, St. Paul, Min neapo1is & Omaha reported small in- ] creases, which were offset by decreases for LAckawannan, Boston 6 Maine, and Norfolk 6 Western In the case o1
 each of the companies which reported decreases larger gross revenues were
 earned, the shrinkage being due te heavier operating expenses. January earnings thus far reported are unfav- orable as a whole, and their showins
 was doubtless one of tho causes of the l less, cheerful feeling in the f1nancia community.

FOUR HOME RUNS
 WITH RAsEs FULL.
Three of the Big Drives Were Made in
 Boston.

Just four players in the American league hit in four runs by one crack of the bat during the campaign of last summer. These four who handed out the glorious homer, with the bases all filled, were Norman Elberfe1d of the Senators, Garland J. StahI of the Bos- tons. Donnie Bush of the Detroits and Leeford Tannehill of the White Sox. Three of these noble efforts were ex- ecuted in Boston, and the fourth in Chicago, the pork and beans district enjoying a monopoly on the output Elberfeld ripped off his valuable homer in a. game of April 20, while Washington was 12 to 4. The next day Jane Stahl claned up with q four bagger, made of Bob Groom of Wash ineton, who purposely passed Iris Speaker in order to take 8 chance on the tsborn leader
 May IT Midget Bush of Detroit, who usually IS easy for left-ha.nders, caught bases were all 5ammed. He drove the ball to deep center and WAS over the home plate, three others ahead of him. before Speaker and Wagner could re- turn the ball to big MT. CorriGan. This hit put the Tigers in front to 0, but all the same Jennings men lost the game to 6.
 The last of tho big four blows hit | during 1910 was Lee TaaAohilps Il came about when the Tigers were vis- iting in Comiskeyville, July s1. Bill | Donovan wac on the hill for the Tfg- | CTS.
 The ball bounded between the pick cts of Q, gate in the extreme 1eft-ha nd corner of the Old Romans new bal yard. That hit tied up the game, all but in the very next inning Tyrus Raymond Cobb, at present interested in the publishing business in Georgia U. S. A, lit on one of Ed Walsh's spit l balls and drove tho ball to the same
 spot that Tannehili had picked out
 This ended the game, a victory for tho
 Tigers, to 5.

 Mike Murphy, athletic trainer ct the Univ ersi ty of Pennsy ylvania, after del e1aring that fhe parents of the present day youths are making "m0Ilycoddle6' out of them, said:
 Al no time during the season did the studnets back up the 1910 team as they should If I see big, husky chap around the university and ask him to come out and work, he always gives me the same old story, his parents will not let him play football There 1s where we are handicapped.
 Too many of our men live al home, with the result that when they show up with black eye or a lame lee and their mothers find out they have been playing this awful game there ie trouble at home. This is so more among the middle class of students than those who are well to do. From just this one cause we lose. at least one-half of cur number.
 Last year there was only one grad uate Of any of the Philadelphia higk schools on the squad. !. The entire team swaS made up of men from prep schools. That tells the story.

SPORTING NOTES.

Eddie Moore of Pawtusxet. who is now .handling Kid Yelle. the Taunton featherweight has made good match for him, for he .will go up against Tommy RaWson, a lad of his own build, at Boston next Tuesday night The fans will think they are watching couple of tOothpieks fight when these two get together. The referee ought to make sure before the fight that all the cracks in the floor are filled up or one of the boxers may dis appear.
 the Senators, who Is now boiling out at Hot Springs. declares that he will pitch no more than 20 games next sea- son. He States that many good twirl- CTS are ruined by oyerwork. HOW about sOld Hoss' Radbourne of the Grays of years ago. who pitched in 27 straight games with an arm so lame he could hardly raise it, and won them all, too? They didn't know what ovcr- work was in those days. NTfmes have sure changed since the great game was in it's infancy.
 The Langford Lang fight in london drew a gate of $45.000; the largest ever pulled down in Great Britain. The
 fighters got their $17,000 guaranteed purse, so 1t is easy to ssee where Me- Intosh gets off. A great deal of the credit for this big slice of coin goes to JlHlI1V I3Fllt, JHe IOFneF llgHLWelGn nI star. who acted as McIntosh's press agent and billed the fight: like cir GUS. It was cleverly handled all the way through and boosted along by a lot of white hope" stuff and fight with Johnson for the victor. Funny how they all fall for the bunk.
 Ralph Glaze, the former. Dartmouth twirler. who is now the property of the Montreal team, vents to go back to Providence to pitch, and Lichtenheim the Royal owner, is willing to sell ol trade him. The owners of the Provi- dence team have been informed of fhie fact and may make an offer for Glaze Now, the Grays need pitchers the
 worst way and by picking up a clever tWfrler like Glaze, who has pitched il Providence before and is very popular they would make a hit with the fans If they let chance like this get away from them they will be deeper in the miro than ever.
