A Small Minority of Stockholders Block
 the Plan.

Boston, Oct. 6.-A little band of mi nority Stockholders in a couple of smaller companies who instituted court proceedings in Michigan, are re- sponsible for the abandonment an nounced today/of the proposed merger of the Calumet and Hecla, Mining com pany, one of the richest copper com panies in the country, with nine sub siGiary companies.
 The local stock market sensed the announcement, and the entire Calumet group advanced sharply to a close that was the highest in weeks. The direc- tors of the Calumet in making known the abandonment stated that the req son was the uncertainty as to when the final decision in the various suits nov pending would be rendered, and also that the officials would be obliged 10 sacrifice much time i'll case the lti- satIon was continued.
 The companies which it was propos- ed tc consolidate with the Calumet and HecIa were the Seneca Ahnneek, AL ioueb. Osceola, Centennial, Tamarack, Laurium, La Salle and Superior. All but the Laurium had voted in favor of the merger, and the directors in their statement today announced that at the Laurium meeting on Nov.

New York, Oct 6.-Within 24 hours after the announcement yesterday of the schedule of games for the 1911 worlds baseball championship, appii- cations for seats came in such num- bers that tonight the officers of the sN CIV York baseball club were flooded With check-laden nissives by the thousands. In addition to the applica tons by mail hundreds of local fans, believing that they could gain an ~ad- vantage by applying personally for tickets, went to the offices, only to find that none would be issued until the aGvance sale begins on Thursday
 As fast as the clerks could handle the applications they bundled the let ters into packages of a hundred and stamped them according to the time of receipt, to be SUITS that the early appli- G ntS were taken care of first. By the strict enforcement of the rule of only four tickets to one purchaser, and the rejection of suspicious applications, it is hoped to keep speculation at min imulll.

By information received here Friday from Ivan Ronanoff, the gigantic 920 pound wrestler, who was to have ap- it was learned that he has been put hors du com bat, at least temporarily, V nile engaged in a bout with his wrestling partner, but he is sending a mountainous substitute in his place in the person of John Balm, styled the Austrian champion. Romanoff is in a Jersey hospital with twisted leg ten dons.
 Balm will take up the same contract as Romanoff had proposed, agreeing to give any man $100 who stays 30 min utes with him and $500 to any man who gets a fall on him.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
4 HEAVY MARKET.
Tsft's Attitude Toward the Trusts
 Causes Unsasiness.

New York, Oct 6-The reactionary tendency which has appeared in the stock market this week received added | impetus today from President Taft s rtterances i'll Idaho concerning the
 policy of the administration. The
 chief executives declaration that pros cCution of unlawful combinations must
 go on and that the administration
 would not seek to avoid the responsi-
 bilit1es which the law clearly imposed
 upon it, while in it's essence a reitera
 tion of his well known views, was fol-
 lowed by vigorous assault upon the
 market. The presidents remarks de-
 pioring dernagogic attacks upon cor
 Eorate interests and asserting his in
 tention to stand ny the railroads so
 long as they obeyed the laws and kept
 out of politics went unheeded. It was
 contended that the speech would ere ate renewed un6asinesS and that 1t demonstrated conclusively that no
 change in the policy of the admins traitor was to De expected. The mar kot sold off and was heavy through the remainder of the day.
 Selling quite naturally converged in United States Steel, owing to the re cent violent movements of this stock, ond the uncertainty as to whether the government contenplates the filing of a suit for dissolution of the steel cor poration. The stock gave way before the attack and ended the day nearly two points below the previous day s close. Reading, the prominent figure in the governments proceedings
 against anthracite carriers, lost as
 much and other stocks lesser amounts.
 Trading was slow throughout the
 day. The demand was limited and the
 market offered little resistance tc
 pressure. Whenever symptoms of pro-
 nounced weakness appeared, however, support was given effectively, and the
 bear traders did not venture to at tempt large operations.
 Restoration of United States Rub Der common to the dividend paying
 list had only temporary effect on the market for that stock, the action of
 the directors having been discounted we'll in advance. Expectations of a dividend on American Beet Sugar
 were not met, but in spite of that fact that stock was exceptionally ac-
 tive and closed withsa small gain. fn- creasing indications of an earnest fight against the dissolution plans of the American Tobacco company and indictments of officials of the so-called Wall Paper trust contributed to the markets unsettlement.
 There was heavy buying of Dondon remittances and the foreign exchange market ruled strong throughout the day
 The bond market was firm. Ameri- can Tobacco issues were heavy on ac- count of the opposition to tE.e re- organization plan. Some important advances were made in less active bonds Total sales, par value, $2,S50,- %.

STYLES IN BATTING.
Heavy Swattsrs Have But One Thing
 in Common-a Discriminating Eye.

Similar results in batting-good- re- suits that Is. are obtained from many different styles. Good form, poor form ana no form at all. all get there with the hat. and each contributes it's uuota to the 300 division, says an authority The thing of form at the bat is laI sely a shibboleth based on nothing.
 \ few cases will serve to snow how different batters maintain sway among the batting elect the 300 class with wide dissimilarity of method.
 Take Hal Chase, for instance. Many is the spectator who doesn't see how Chase hits the ball. Yet he does hit it, keeps on hitting it, and always has been a first class batter. The batter who steps away from the plate Is mo- toriously poor hitter but while Chase doesn't step or pull away, he is fidgety with his feet and suggests that he is about to step away.
 Seemingly careless and indifferent, he really is watching the pitchers ev- cry movement as well as the whole layout, and no man can nit better with a base runner. His attitude is any thing but menacing, indeed contains g. hint of timidity, which really doesn't exist, but with loose wrist and arm ac- ton he can adapt himself to any sort of a pitched ball hittable. He used to be weak on a low curve outside the plate, but got over that and now is a free hitter If he wants to hit, he'll g. ner, and he's liable to hit anything. He desn't swing hard in the sense of EaVlng long swing, but swings with good deal of snap. His eye and arm GO the work without much use of the body ill adding force to the drive
 Wagner's form varies according to his mood. Usually the great Dutch man stands with his feet well apart, hut he can hit from any position and sometimes changes. His body is in his swing and his arms more so. Some times he swings so hard he all but falls down if he doesn't land, and sometimes he takes slow swing. He disregard canons about the bail com- ing over the plate, and occasionally offers at balls oyer his head or across the plat from him. On hit and rxn play he and Chase have been kno<Sn to Iunge across the plate and crcut near wild pitch safely past the in field.
 Another star hitter, Eddie Collins. is loose and shambling at the plate. His movements, however, are under per feet control. He hasn't quite the boise Of The more slatuesque Laloie, and his bat is held in various positions, though he doesn't wrlgsie 1t as do some hatters. Wherever held, he brings it into use with the swifest of motions when ready to hit. He IS absolutely unconSrtaineG at the bat. but the pie tGre of unconcern but for all that alertly confident Though compara- tiveiy small he. like Byrne of the Pi- rates, hits the ball almighty hard.
 Ponderous or agile. awkward or. much variance among the best bat ters av there are batters. One thing they have in common, the discrimlnat- ing sle
