FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
LIQUIDATION FOR PROFITS
The Determining Influence on Stock Market-Ma ateriaI Net Losses Gen. eral.

New York, Jan. 1s.-Liquida6ion for profits, particularly in the more prom inent speculative issues exercised a determining influence upon the stock market today. The movement was as- oompanied by at least Q partial re- yersal of position on the part of im- portant traders who had accumulated stocks on the recent advance. and the closing of accounts from thak quarter gave rather a bearish tono to the day. The movement was most pronounced in United States Steel, Reading. Nor folk and Western, Pennsylvaafa, New York Central and Anaalgamated Cop per. After the opening there was a passing improvement, particularly in the coalers and western railroads, which placed them as . whole slight ly above last nights close. As the market relaxed wherever there was active trading, until material net losses were general. While the more speculative issues were declining, un- successful efforts were mado to ad- vance some of the minor stocks. The ing and closed near the final figures of yesterday.
 Aside from the tactics of the pro- fessiOnal clement no particular rea- sons were assigned for the markets reaetionary tendency.

IRWIN A WISE SCOUT.
Knows the Game Well, Having Played with Three Big Leagues Before Signing with Farreil-How He se- iects Good Players.

By far the best-known scout in the two major leagues is Arthur Irwin, whose work has pNoved very satisfac- tory to the Yankee team. Frank Far rel1 signed up the scout on July Is, 1908, and there are only two men on the team now that played with the Yankees that year. They are Chase and Hemphill. The rest have been secured from the lots, colleges and the minor leagues. And right now the club is a good one. finishing second in the past season, and the prospects for winning championship next year look bright.
 Scouting Hard Job.
 It's a very tough proposition for the owner of ball club to have his club in last place, and losing every day, and then tell the scout to go out and get him some kind of ball club. That's what Irwin was told. He was to use his own judgment in getting good players and pay any price for them. The value of Irwin can be seen when the eases of the two St. Louis clubs are recalled. 1t Is estimated that the owners of those two big league organizations have spent $300.000 in the last ten years, and developed just one player. He is Konetchy of the National league club
 Ever since Bransfield was let out by the Pittsburg club that organiza- tion has been scouting for a first sacker McAleer, when with the Browns, had his scout looking around

300 oARsMEN FOR
 YALE's 1911 CREW. Only Veterans and Football Men Yet Called Out-Wrestli1g is on Train ing Programme.

Although only the veterans of last years rowing squad and football men have yet been called out, it was learn ed that Coach John Kennedy expects to have fully 300 oarsmen on the benches this spring. The general call will soon be issued. Captain Elliott Frost's latest innovation is to order wrestling as a feature for the oars- mems daily training and to provide wrestling mats for the training equip ment of the boatffouse-
 Captain Frost has picked three crews, but the order in the first boat varies almost daily. All three are load ed down with football stars. The first eight is rowing with the football end rush, Van Sinderen, as stroke. Other stroke oars who arc being tried are Appleton and Tucker. the former hav- ing stroked the freshmen till he was taken ill just before the Harvard race last year. Tucker was No. in the varsity eight till he was stricken with illness the week before the big race.
 Kistler, the football fu1Iback and in- tercollegiate strong man; Jack Field, the football ha1fback, and Morris, cen ter rush of the football team. are oth- CT specimens of strength and physical vigor who are members of the three crews who have been set to work. Bomeisler. Buckingham, Read and Paul, all football giants, are all mem bers of the first crew at present. All have rowed before, Buckingham hay- ing been a member of the varsity eight last year.

CARTER COLLINS BECOMES
 PROFESSIONAL RUNNER.
New Havsn Boy Leaves the Amateur Ranks-Races Svenberg and St. Yves This Week.

Carter Collins. a. New Haven boy, son of the Rev. John Collins, promot- CT of amateur athletics, has become a professional runner. having signed a contract to race for money against Henry St. Yves, the French crack, and John Svanberg, the crack Swedish dis tanee man. The runners will race on 8 percentage basis at New Haven Sat urday night, and will run 15 miles. The track will be 21 laps to the mile, so that the contestants will have to run around the hall 315 times.
 Although 27 years of age, Collins did not start running until April 29, 1909- less than two years ago. He has par tfcipated in 27 races, and has finished first. second, third or fourth in 19 of them. He only dropped out of one race, which was a full Marathon, 26 miles 1885 yards. A number of races in which he appeared were run in New York, and some of the men he has competed against are classed with the country's best amateurs. Recently he made a good showing in the classic Yonkers run in New York

 live ones for the Yankees, and keeps on getting them. Cree. Roach, War; hop, Quinn, Gardner, Fisher, Daniels and Caldwell are but a few the good old scout of the Yankees has secured. and who have made good for the hill- top team
 s~ How He Doss 1t.
 There is a great deal of difference between tout and scout The tout is something like the one of the race track He will tell you how every horse in the race is going to win. Then the baseball tout will go out and buy a player on his averages in the Arninors. Irwin does not grab the players that way. He stays around few days, looks them over, sees them work out in the morning Eractice< has a talk with them and if the player looks as if he can be developed, he is bought.
 The Yankee scout for three years has been looking for a good man to lead off, and he thinks he. has found one who will be heard from when the team gets working in the south. If player looks as though he can be schooled for the big show he is taken by Irwin.
 
 of ia baseball club would rush into the stand with false whiskers and gum shoes, but that's a thing of the past now. Big league scouts are well comed by the minor league owners, as the big organizations dump great load of money into their pockets.
 Belonged to Providence Champions.
 Tn his day Irwin was a good ball player He was with the Providence club when it won the first world championship, in 1884 beating the Metropolftans in New York. Irwin ha S been sought by many a club. The Cleveland team wanted his service> for one year in order to get the For est city club some good young play CTS.
 The old scout of the Yankees has been with teams in the three big leagues which have won pennants. He was in the National league, American association and the Brotherhood league. He has been connected with the game long enough to know every angle of it-and he does. Irwin has a number of new men who will be taken south and it may be that there will be some more good ones in the lineup next season.

Cincinnati, O., Jan. 19.-An applica- ton of Fred Jacklitsch, former catcher of the PMladelphia National league baseball club, to be declared a free agent, was denied today by the nation al baseball commission in a decision that upset baseball precedents.
 Jacklitsch had an agreement with the Philadelphia club to the effect that when the club decided to dispose of his services and failed to place him with either a National or American league team. he was to be given his unconditional release, but he was re- gently dispused of to the Rochester club of the Eastern league.
 The commission honored this agree- ment, but said that it only held good during the life of his contract of 1910. As this contract had expired, the agree ment also expired, according to the commission, and he was awarded to Rochester. Hitherto the commission has held that because of the reserve clause baseball contracts never expire.

Seeing Double in Providence.

They must see things two ways down in Providence. A telephone message from a Providence newspa- per office Wednesday evening stated that Young Foley of Norwich lost his fight there because his second threw up the sponge too soon.
 This is the way the same Proy1- dence paper reported the fight:
 Young Foley, touted as a wafirl- wind, wiped Norwich, Conn.,, off the boxing map when he ran up against Young Miller of Pawtuc3ket. in con- test slated for eight rounds. It took just 1 minute and 45 seconds for Mil Ter to beat him into a helpless condi- tion, four knocl1downs being slipped over in quick fashion, On the fourth Foley sat down on his haunolles in his own corner and placed one glove care fully over his face It was curtains with capital c for Foley.

FISHERMEN ALARMED.
Fear That Chemicals in Bantam Lake
 Will Kin Fish.

Litchfeld, Oct. 3.-Fishermen here who patronize Bantam Lake are con Esiderably exercised by fears of de struction of fish by an attempt to purify the lake of algae by cheni- calls. Yesterday eight motor boats in charge of pr. Newland. chemist of the state board of health and repre- sentatives of the Bantam Lake as- sociation, and Berkshire Ice com pany. distributed in the lake four tons of sulphate of copper, this being a little over a pound to each million gallons of water. There had been previous communicat tion on the sub ject with the bureau of plants at Washington. Other communications from the fish commission at Wash lngton had stated that the sulphate of copper must be used with care as too little of it would yaccinate the algae and too much would destroy the fish. The Berkshire Ice company which furnished the chemical, has an immense ice house upon the shore of the lake and last year, on account of the algae, was forced to defer ice gathering until late in the season.
