FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
HARTMAN LIST FEVERIsH.
Merger Decision Still Has an Unset
 ting Influence on Market.

New York, Dec. S.-The influence of the Hartman merger decision by the United States supreme court hung heavily over the stock market today. Fluctuations in the Hartman securi- ties were feverish, and the list as a whole was unsettled There was a great deal of theorizing as to the prob able effect of the dissolution decree, and while opinions varied sharply, the preponderance of speculative sentiment was bearish and prices were borne down sharply.
 Selling was converged on Southern Pacific, which dropped points on un- usually heavy dealings. Union Pacific, after a strong opening. yielded to 1 IA below yesterdays close Many rail- roads and industrials were depressed a point or more. The market rallied toward the close.
 In the absence of authoritative state ments from the Anterests most directly concerned as to the probable effects of the Hartman dissolution decree, the problem was viewed in varying lights. On the constructive side, it was argued that the Hartman managers would be able to work out plan of partition no less successfully than was the case of the dissolution of the Standard Oil and k1lnSl lCdA 1OOdCCO COIIlpdIliSS OSSl- ble benefits to stockholders in the dis tribution of assets were held up as bullish factors. Traders who took a bearish view held that application ot the principles adhered to by the su- preme court In yesterdays decision would be of far reaching influence not only in other cases to be passed on later by that court, but ultimately in determining the status of many cor porations which have not thus far been called to court. In the case o1 Southern Pacific, it's especial weakness was attributed to speculation as to its fortunes once it is cut loose from the parent corporation under which it has been built up to it's present state.
 Greatly increased expenses of ad- ministration under the new regime also were taken into account.
 Tension in money was somewhat re. faxed, and easier conditions were look ed for, with the call from the nationa controller out of the way and golt corning in fromIondon.
 The bond market was heavy Tota sales. par value, $2550, 900.

WALSH LEADS IN sHuroUTs.
Blanks Opponents 55 Times During
 Career.

Massive Ed Walsh, Comiskeys man of steel, is the only American league hurler who has passed the half-cen- tury notch in shutouts, but two other men now on the reserve lists of teams of the junior organization may get by this mark next season. Walsh has fed his adversaries on goose eggs 55 times since he struck fast company in 1904-a most marvellous record con- sidering that during the first two sea sons he was on the old Romans pay roll he succeeded in blanking his IT, vals only twice. Of the pitchers who stand a chance to fit jackets of white on their adversaries before they go to the minors or into retirement Phil adelphia claims one in Eddie Plank. the veteran southpaw, and Chicago the other in c. Harris White, who Is also getting along in years. The Get tysburg guide has blanked the enemy on 48 occasions, while the Georgetown graduate has done similary 45 times.
 G. Edward Waddell had used the whitewash brush 47 times before Rob- ert Lee Hedges sent him to Minneap- oils to toll under Joe Cantillon, and

TINKER CAN GET $1o,ooo
 AS THE REDS MANAGER
Hermann Ready to Double His Salary IF Cubs Will Trade Star Shortstep- Fogeis Fatal Mistakes.

Joe Tinker in explaining why he will not play another season with the Chi cago Cubs says that he cannot get along with Manager John Evers or Owner Charles w. Murphy. Tinker, however, has much stronger reason for declaring vehemently that he will manage the Cincinnati Reds or retire from professional baseball. He can draw from August Hermann just twice as much salary next season as the Chicago club paid him this year. Tinker received close to $5,000 from Magnate Murphy for the fulfilment of his 1912 contract, calling for his ser vices as shortstop. AS manager Of the Cincinnati Reds Tinker can have $10,000 and be his own boss.
 In spite of the fact that they are enemies off the field Evers suddenly has decided that he cannot let Tinker out of the Cubs' infeld, and thereby hangs a tale Evers believed he could fix up a deal with Miller Huggins, the new manager of the St. Louis Cardi- nals, for the services of. Shortstop Hauser, who is one of the best. But Huggins when the subject was broached turned pale and almost col- lapsed. Unable to get Hauser, there fore, and suddenly hearing that Cor ridon of the Detroits wasn't believed to be much by Hugh Jennings and Ty Cobb, Murphy was prompted by Evers to call off the Tinker deal after the terms had been agreed upon last We'd nesday night.
 As a matter of fact baseball men say that Murphy and Evers made a foolish move for the reason that Tin ker means what he says and that Hermann will never make such gol- den offer again. Hermann agreed to pay $8,0O0 cash to the Detroit club for the release of Corridon-the price Detroit paid to Kansas City-and to release Outfielder Mike Mitchell and | infielder Phelan, whose releases to- day couldn't be purchased for less than $5,000 each. In addition Herr mann agreed to pay Tinker s1O,o00 for next season-all to get a winning team | in disappointed Porkvf1le It is un- derstood that Murphy would have made the deal if Hermann had in | cluded Knisely at an additional outlay of $240O to the Dayton club. With the deal is off the question in Cinein- nati just now is:

Made Consistent Winning Record
 Throughout the Past Season.

For 24 years the Pennsylvania stake, at Lexington, Ky, has been the race that has determined the racing cham pionship of it's year. This is because it is nominating event in which the entries are transferable and as the horses are not named until almost the last hour it brings together the best that have raced here and there throughout the country. From a rac- ing point of view. the Pennsylvania of last month was the poorest of the 23 that preceded it, having had only four starters out of 20 original nominations but, in winning 1t, Baden proved his title to the 1912 racing championship.
 The turf has had faster horses than Baden, but it never had one that went to Lexington a truer candidate for the racing championship, nor one that clinched his title more cleanly than he did when he marched off with the race in straight heats and beat into sub mission Cheeny, that has been a gi- ant against all others she has met this year.
 Baden is a beautiful horse six years old, by Bingen (son of Bingen, 2.06 IA, and Ligera, by Arion, 207 9-4), dam by Krenlin, POT 3-4, who won this race in 1892, and he traces three times to Miss Russell. the great mother that produced in addition to Maud s., 2.08 3-4, others that are responsible for so many in the 2.S0 list. Cresceus, more than any other horse, was built on cart-horse lines to withstand the wear and tear of a strenuous cam paign, and with it he was a glutton for work. and races of split heats were to his liking, but not even he in his best year showed such consistency and downright bulldog tenacity as has characterized the 1912 campaign of Baden.
 When the mile track campaign open | ed at Lansing, Mich, on July 2, Baden was there. ready for the word, and 1 for 15 consecutive weeks he did not fail to fulfil an engagement. He has | been beaten here and there, only to come back the next week in victory. This year he won from Lansing to 1 Lexington ten races, and has been placed in four of the other five. He contested 55 heats in 15 weeks, which i Is as many as some horses called great l have raced in a lifetime, and of these he won thirty, which average POT 1-2. He has been beaten twice by Esther w., 2.06 IA, and once each by Chatty 1 Direct, Oakdale and Dave Halle, but in turn he has defeated Esther seven times, Oakdale three times, Dave Halle l tWlce ana Cnatty D1rect ln one race. In addition he has won every race
 four, that he has trotted against that
 grand racing machine, Cheeny. His winnings for. the season are the larg- est ever won by a stallion in one year
 Baden's unparalleled career can be
 carried bit further by combining his
 1911 and 1912 campaigns; they show
 Is victories, four second moneys, three
 third moneys, three fourth moneys
 and just one blank out of 29 starts ir
 as many weeks of racing.

Taftville Boys Forced to Leave Auto
 When Engine Breaks Down.

The Taftville basketball team start ed out for Noank Tuesday evening, where they were to play the Lobsters, Int party left TRftville postof1lce in an auto truck about 6.3O o'clock, and had got well into the country when the en- zine of the auto truck broke down. The driver tried to repair the engine, but did not succeed. The men got out of the truck and started off in a hunt for telephone, which they found in a farm house about two miles down the road They informed their friends in Taftville of their plight and stated that they did not know exactly where they were, but thought that they were near Westerly. After receiving direc- ttons for the Westerly road they start ed off for that city on foot and are expected home this morning.

could field over 1885 on the season was

third seekers field over 9zj ana Goui shirk the chances, either. Much of this improvement, no doubt is due to the glove; but there has been a vast gain in 20 years, when you consider the skill with which grounders, bunts and flies are handled This improvement, however, hasn't been so recent as some of the critics imagine, but began right after the thicker gloves came into use None of the modern third seekers has anything on Collins or Bill Bradley and the all-round class of 1912, though equal mechanically to the Collins Bradley stuff is not up to their mark in generalship and execution. It may be remarked, just incidentally, that the modern third basemen have an odd tendency to throw too low, rather than too high. Denny and Whitney sailed them overhead-the 1912 gang throw them among the first base mans feet, and the first sacker who can scoop them up is the white haired child.
 All things considered, it is hard to see where anyone can be ranked above Heine Zimmerman for all-round value among the third basemen of 1912-at least, so far as the National league is concerned. Zimmerman, formerly a general utility person who wasn't counted quite good enough to intrust with any position as a regular, went
 to the bag for the Cubs after Lennox haid failed through slowness on the hoof Heine surprised from the very jump with the way he handled the job. His attention to grounders, liners, flies and throws was all that could be
 desired, and he came in on bunts with
 pseed that had never been expected
 of him. At the bat, he proceeded to tear up the National league. and fin ished with record equaled by few l third basemen in history-possibly by
 none in recent seasons. Zim hit about
 BIT, and fielded, it is believed, well
 over 1925.
 The second rank among the National league third basemen is, when you
 study out all the points, the apparent property of Bobby Byrne, Pfttsburg' S 1 little demon. Byrne batted steadily
 and was a dangerous slugger in the 1 pinches. His third passing was artis-
 tic and heady-craftier than that of l Heine Zimmerman, and rather better | in most ways, while Zim's batting | gives him the preference.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Dec. 3.-Jus- tice Lane of the supreme court in a decision handed down today held that the maintenance of pool rooms where results of horse races are wagered on is misdemeanor, and that their exist ence is illegal. He recommends that injunctions be secured before the crim- inal laws are invoked. It is said there are many pool rooms in this state, all of which are ostensibly acting as agents for firms in other states.

BETTER THIRD BAsEMEN.
Showing of Dangerous Corner Artists mproVes-Zimmerma the Leader.

The third passing line of 1912 was of an extremely brilliant character as the work around the far corner has been for several seasons. Third base men, in recent years, have acquired a mechanical perfection in fielding the position that is little short of wizard like. They go in after bunts with more accuracy than in the earlier days; they can smother grounders on either side with certainty that is bewildering, and their throwing has become ex- traordinarily accurate. Twenty years ago, third basemen were continually hurling the ball a mile above the first baseman's head, forcing that unhappy animal to make frequent journeys of a retrieving character, while the sure ness of even the best third baseman on ground balls was so uncertain that the sight of a ball leaping toward the far corner, with men on bases, always filled the home crowd with thrills of terror. Now, the third baseman is so mechanically perfect that the sight of the hottest grounder going at him worries the public no more than if it were humming it's way to the human trap on second.
