FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
SUBSTANTIAL NET GAINS. Stock Prices Advance Until Profit
 Taking Causes Reaction.

New York Sept 2S.-Cuotations were advanced in irnpre ssive manner cn the stock exchange today. The contrast with yesterdays turmoil and acute weakness was a striking one. With scarcely an interruption, the for ward movement was continued, until in the last hour heavy profit taking caused 8 reaction. United States Steel which has beer the central point in the violent fluctuations of the week, was carried up 3-4 points, and the preferred stock rose 3-S Union Pa cific advanced five points, Reading and American Smelling 4 5s, and Lehigh Valley, St. Paul and Consolidated Gas three. The upward movement was general, the other active stocks with few exceptions rising from two to three points.
 The reaction in some cases cost the market half of it's rise. but net gains were substantial. In the cases of United States Steel, Union Pacific and American Smelling, the gains excee1- ca points. The day was devoted largely to driving the bears to cover. Stocks were in scant supply at prices approaching yesterdays close, and an urgent demand from the shorts arose, which sent up prices with increasing force as the session progressed. The movement was helped by a widely cir culated report that a statement which would be reassuring to corporate in terests would emanate soon from ad ninistration sources. Announcement that the long deferred strike on the Hartman lines was imminent caused only momentary weakness and the losses were soon more than made up.
 Baltimore & Ohio was heavy, in contrast with the general market. The Wa bash four per cent. debenture bonds rallied after yesterdays break, but failed to hold the rise. Ameri- can Tobacco bonds made further gains. The enormous transactions in these securities of recent days were explained as due to the re-organiza- ton plan. which provided, it was said, for the retirement of three issues at figures considerably above recent quo- tations
 European markets were depressed by the Tripoli ultimatum and the ap- preaching half monthly settlement on the Paris bourse. London again trad cd heavily in this market. Transac- tions for this account were estimated at 30,000 shares. at least two thirds on the selling side.
 Trading in bonds while still large, was on somewhat smaller scale. Prices generally were firm. Specula- tive issues showed mixed strength. Total sales. par value, $4,525,000. U. s. bonds unchanged on call

5ULkELEYs eAckF!ELD FAST.
Considered One of Best Ever Seen at
 the New London School.

The Buikeley ibackfield is considered by all one of the fastest ever turned out by that school, says the New Lon- don day. Playing fuflback is Palme, Reeves, IS, who so successfully held down that position last year. Besides being of an exceedingly husky build, Reeves is a sprinter, and is we'll versed in hitting the line. F'laherty, '12, will be seen in his old position of half back, and is showing up as well as ever. He is valuable also when it comes to putting. The other half back position is being taken care of by Crowley '12, who. since his first year in school. has distinguished him. self by his football abilities. Don nelly. a freshman, is also a promising g candidate for a halfback position. At quarterback little Bobby Keefe. hero of many memorable gridiron contests, is found hard at work. Keefe was the brains of the team last year and, in spite of his diminutive size and lack of weight, is sure of his position.
 Other candidates are Huntley, now playing guard instead of center; Seli- koWitch and Schwartz, in their old places of ta ckles and Casey, once a guard, but now out for fullback. Cap tain Costello, IS. for two seasons a speedy and hard tackling end, will again be seen to advantage at the right extremity of the line.

HEAvYWEIeHTs IN SHAPE.
Lineup is Complete for Game With pendents-Cumnnines Coptain.

The GreeneVille HeaVyWeights are in fine shape for their game with the In dependents, and if confidence counts for anything they will be winners by a big margin when the two elevens rneet on the Cranberry, Sunday, Oct. l. They will depend on their lineup of last year, with a few exceptions Boyd is new man at end and plays strong game. Not only is he a deadly tackle, but he is fast on his feet and is a star at getting down the field under punts. Rhydholm, the dashing fullback of 1909, will be back at his old position. He was out of the game last year owing to injuries, but this year he is back in his old time form. lSeilan, the husky iceman. will be at right guard, and the rest of the team remains the same as in 1910.
 Cummings has been elected captain and he has the boys out for practice at every opportunity. Manager Hen derson says that he will soon have Clish in line and he is without doubt the premier quarterback of the city.
 The lineup for Sunday: Corey center, Neilan right guard, Quinn right tackle, Boyd and Grady right end, Henderson left guard Purple left tackle Cum nings (captain) left end, Gadle and Clish quarterback. Burke left halfback, Rydholm fullback; Supa right half back.

CHANGING PITCHING STYLE
 MADE GEORGE CHALMERS
When He Dispensed With Windup He
 Lost Wildness.

While Grover Alexander of the Phil adelphia Nationals was attracting the attention of the baseball world early this season there was another young pitcher on the Pllillies, also, a grad uate of the New York State league. who was busy changing his style of delivery and thus keeping his light under a hnshel. This was George Chalmers likewise a right handler, who now has a record which attrac ts al- most as much attention as that of AL exander the Great.
 Strangely enough, it was Pat Moran, the old Cub catcher, to whom Alexan- der attributes much of his SllccesS,who suggested to Chalmers a change from his long swinging wind-up to a posi- tien with the ball in front of his chest with turn for delivery. This sugges- ton was made to correct tendency toward Wildness and also to enable the youn2ster to watch the bases better.
 When Chalmers had mastered his new delivery and began to win games. Alexander had become headllner. and his teammates prowesS was overlook ed by many fans. But when Chalmers record showed eight victories out of his first ten games, Quaker fans began to link the names of the two young re- cruits, from the same league. and to give them much of the credit for the fight the Phillies were making for the pennent-a fight sadly handicapped by Manager Dooin's injury.
 Chalmers is one of the few foreign born players in the majors. He was born in Aberdeen, Scotland, June 21, 1889, but removed to New York city, where his family still lives, before he was years old. He attended the city schools and learned to play ball on the lots of Manhattan Island.
 Chalmers does not depend on any one style of ball in his pitching. but tries to .Srnix 'em up" to puzzle the op- posing batsnen. Personally he is a likeabIe sort of chap, without trace of the swelied head which sometimes affects succesfuls youngsters He stands over six feet high and weighs about 174 pounds stripped. He is a great believer in keeping in condition and during the winter months trains at Hecklers gymnasium in New York place patroniZed largely by business men. There his favorite mode of ex- ercise is tossing a six pound medicine ball. as he thinks the heavier balls toe much of 6 strain for regular exercise SPORTS

CONNIE MACK'S THEORY. WaIlop TaiIenders and Split Ever
 With Big Fellows to Win.

Assurance is given that Connie Macks theory of winning a cham pionship is to beat the tail end clubs to a frazzle and break even with the big fellows. If a mistake is made, that seems to be about tie theory on which all managers work. Turn your eyes over the baseball pages. of other years and note whether any manager who has been successful has been in the habit of coddling a tail end club if he could help it.
 There have been some who were foolish enough to rap the New York club right and left when sit made some progress in a race for pen Brooklyn and Boston, Strangely enough one writer who made that as sertion forgot that the club in his own cty-a club. by the way, which was a championship contender-had won as many games from Boston and Brooklyn as New York Years ago & there was a club in Boston which won championships quite frequently. Also there was club in Baltimore which did the same thing. No one ever heard that either of these clubs ever spared the feelings of the lowly tail enders. They went after them for all they were worth
 After giving the subject little thought it is not easy to see wherein
 the Mack theory is wonderfully new. Candidly, Connie was never known to permit anything to get away in
 baseball on which he could place his genial old paws.
 In connection with the discovery of the Mack theory the statement is also made that many 8 team has lost a pennant because it failed to play as well against weak team as against a stronger rival. Doubtful Very doubtful. Frequently there are teams which look quite powerless against the pitchers of a team that is down near the bottom of the race That tells r1ore of the tale. added to the fact that some of these so-called tail end teams can bat the pitchers oi
 the first disvision teams with great deal of assurance.
