Prices on Several important Issues

New York, March 22.-The reaction

 Three to seven FUlits higher than at { last weeks close. What may be { termed the old sdOrJ interest was prob 1 aniy driven to cover early in the pres l ent week, our new lines of stocks have [ been put out since then. According to ] board room gossip there has come ID another bear faction in the CoDperS, . Steel Snelting and some uf the stan dard railway shares. This element has stuobOrnlr opposed the rise of the last i few days and Inay he expected to con- tinue their tactics until the present { movement gets out Jf hand The most ! logical explanation that cau be put 1 forward in connection with the almost uninterrupted improvement is to be
 1ound in the fact that stocks were thoroughly Gquidatsd before the pres ent movement began and that they did not decline in the face of many de- 1 Nelopmvn-s of 4n Unf9Norabie charac- ter.
 Metal stocks were easily the feature oI the day, transactions in Amalearpat- 1 ed Copper exceeding those in United states Steel or any other market lead | CT. Another conspicuous issue was , American Smelling, with Q rise of over 1 four points from the previous days low. Union Faci1e led the railway group. Reading and 5teei were rels- tively backward.

 Prices yielded materially in the last ] hour, except in some or the moEt ob- scuTo issues. SteeIs rise was altogether lost and Union Pacific and Reading re- tained little nore than mere fractions of their gains. Final dealings indicai- cd a degree of irregUlarity and uncer- ] tainty resulting doubtless from further realizing, but net gains were numer- ous.
 More financing to meet requirements of home railroads was reported, the Missouri Pacific contemplating an ig- Bue Of s5,000, Ge0 three year five per cent. notes to pay off obligations re- cently incurred. The coming week will probably witness the consumms-

TWENTY YEARS ON THE ClNDER PATH
By JOHN D. NOLAN. NUMBER g.

| developed my speed for 40 and 8s0
 yards.
 About three weeks after my arrival at Brownsville 8 salesman from @ to- bacco firm in Fitt5Burg visited Browns vile on business, and the subject of running being introduced, the sales
 man said he would back Ed Nikirk to run any man in the country for $50
 yards for s250 Ed Herd, 8 kentuckian
 who ran cigar store and gambling house at Brownsville was a member of the Brownsville sporting comOina- tiOn, and he remarked: We have no man here fast enough to run NikiTk, but we have a miner here named Nc Cabe who will take 20 yards and run Nikirl for S259,"
 4 race was arranged for the follow ing week on these terms and Herd, al- though known to be one of my packers. was appointed starter.
 On the day of the race Nikirk, ac- companied by several sporting men
 from Pittshurg, arrived in town and afLer dinner drove over to the track, where a large crowd of people had as- sembled to witness the race. After a careful preparation We walked to our marks, where the starter and referee awaited us. Betting was quite lively for a few minutes, after which we were ordered on our marks by the
 starter, who appeared to be very ner- vOus.
 As Herd called out Get ready" Nl- kirk bounded of his mark as if shot from 8 gun and was within a few yards Of me when Herd fired the pistol
 and ] went off with g start of two
 yards instead of twenty.
 fat nI thought it was all over, and l thought so myself but I went off at a terrific
 pace. with Nikirk at my shoulder, de- termined to hold him as long as DOE eible and run myself to 8 standstil before quitting. The quarter mile wa $ passed in 53g,, and Nil1irk was still at my shoulder, his breath coming in quick, hard gssps. In this manner we 1 passed the 660 yard mark in I'm. 25s and Nikirk suddenly came to a stand still, run completely off his feet. continued to the finish. crossing the line in I'm. o6S The distance was, ot course. 90 yards short making the ac- tual time about I'm. 59s. The Pitts
 burg men were astonished and they at oncA accused me of being a ringer and 1 said they believed I was Harry Darrin the champion Of England. who was then in America, masqueriding under
 sn assumed name, and looking for races.
 A few days after my race with Ni- kirk a novel race was arranged with a man named RathwelI in which l was to run 40 yards while his race horse Fendore ran $50 yards. The match was for S100 a side and the start was to be by pistol shot. This race was a very close contest, but I was in re-
 markably good trim. owing to my sprinting with Smothers. and I won by ! two yards in e2R.

Invading the Big Mems Territery-
 Pittsburs the Home of Foot Racing
 -Ed Kikirk Run Off His Fsse-Race
 With Horse.
 After our successes in New Jersey and New York. Sullivan and I decided that the time was now ripe for us to go out among the pig fellows Pitts burg was the point we aimed for, at that time the home CT three of the most famous distance runners of the day. Few indeed were the outsiders who had the nerve to invade Plttsburg looking for matches.
 Ed NiktTk of Pittsburg was regard ed as the fastest half miller in the country, having recently defeated Ed Case ot Toronto at Buffalo, N. l., in In. 56s. for S1900 q side |, c. Nc C1elland, second oI the PittspuTg men, was a distance runner, possessing great speed and endurance, and at that time was Issuing challenges to the V OTld 10 run from two 10 fifteen miles, Peter Priddy who completed the Pitts burg trio. was a famous athlete who had been an Oarsman. 0 pugiliet and lastly runner, and when the Boston Caledontan club induced Peter Can non, the famous Scotch runner, who shattered 50 many worlds records fin 1889, to come Io this country in 1890, it was Priddy who came to Boston and carried off the $150 prize, defeated Cannon by several yards and surprised the world by his victory. It was with the intention of arranging races with these men that Sullivan and I decided to go to Pittsburg.
 While at supper iI a Pittsburg hotel we overheard two men discussing foot racing and heard one of them remark that Brownsville was the greatest foot racing town in western Pennsylvania. This was 9 mining town e miles from Plttsburg, and here We decided to lO- cate and use it as a base to work from Upon arrival in Brownsville we went to the store kept by the Knob Coal company, the leading business firm, who were also noted sporting men. We stated frankly our business and object in calling on them and they at once fell in with our views and said they would find me all the money I would require if I satisfied them I could run fast enough. At the end of the conference it was decided that Dan should go on 10 UniOntown while I was to remain at Brownsville.
 Shortly after my arrival at Browns vile l was matched to run a miner A mile for $25 This I won easily and a few days later 1 won a two mile handi- cap from scratch. There were several sprinters in Brownsville, among them being 8 young coIored youth named Lyman Sm0thers, who was, I believe, the fastest man at 100 yards I had ever met He was a sure i0-second man for the hundred, and 1t was owing to my ngaatising Fariutlag with him that

WORKING THE RABBIT BALL.
Harry Davis Reminiscss on One 0'
 the Old Tricks of the Game,

They used to pull oil a lot of tricks in the American league that are rabooed now" remarked Harry Davis ,ts he opened the session of the Win Ter league it the baseball o1fce. They did not stop at signal-tipping devices, but they worked in Q rabbit ball now and then. cut down rhe pitchers box over night. cut down or raised the line toward ,hird base, let the hose run all night on tle base paths or on the grass near .ht plate. Clark Griffith turned that last trick on us ons day when he was managing the White Sox. Thought he would make 1t difficult for our third sacker 70 field bunts, but our pitcher and Lave Cross got ev0Ey oHe while Griffith himself slipped in the water and soaked his uniform.
 'Bul Armour was man ot whom we were always suspicious That sus- picion dated from tine I was with Providence in the Eastern league The Rochester team had a faculty Of bat ting out victories in the eighth and ninth innings, and we made up our minds that a rabbit ball was working. We finally told our third base ooscher to 80 I0 the Rochester bench between innings and keep watch. Sure enough, l4 discovered that they. were tossing out a live wire toward the end of games when Rochester was behind.
 They confessed then and are kept their secret on the condition that they tip us as to where they gottthe live odes.
 But from then I felt that Bill Ar mour you'd beaT watching when it came to pulling of Q trick now and then. Finally we caught him, l. was in 1904. }Vaddeil and Earl Moore were having 9 battle royal It was { to 4 when we finished eur half of the ninth. Hickman was the first man up for Cleveland in the last half of tho ninth, He smashed the first ball on a line, Uut Harsel vent back to the fence and grabbed it. Larry piokled the next one and Davy Fuitz made g. wonder ful running catch. Now Cleveland had not been hitting Rube that hard up to that time, and 1 passed the word around that whoever made the third out should keep the ball and see that it was stin in play when the tenth inning began if the Maps did not manage to win out. Then Flick hit 1t on the nose, but Sox Seybold made the best catch ! ever SEW him make 8 oue-handed stab iii right center
 "SoN remembered what had been said and he brought ths bsll in and never handed it over until Moore was ready to pitch. We did not Intend to let Cleveland have a chance to throw it out of the lot. Then came our half of the tenth, and we scored ten runs, and Bili Armour never ran in another rabbit against us.
