FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
ONLY SLIGHT MOVEMENT.
Day of Small Business With No Specu'
 lative interest in Sight.

New York, Dec. 27.-Such variations in prices as the stock lists revealed at the close of todays business were for the most part losses. but so far as the standard stocks were concerned the movement was slight It was another day of unusually small business and utter lack of initiative, with specula- tive interest at the vanishing point. The principal fluctuations were among the specialties. Harvester, Beet Su- gar, Can and Rubber fell back from one to four points each. For a time early in the day the railroad shares gave some indications of strength and the coppers moved upward in keeping with the advance in the metal abroad, but the rise was small and of short duration.
 Money rates f1uctuated in an cratic way. The opening was at 10 per cent, from which it was advanced quickly to 12 per cent. Renewals were made at 12 per cent, the highest renewal rate of the year. The rate fell off steadily, and during the afternoon ' per cent. was quoted. At the same time it was reported that various out of town banks which had deposited funds here for leaning were holding out for 15 per cent. The demand for accommoda- tions, however, was small and toward the close the quotations fell off until offerings were made at 1 per cent,
 A further cash gain by the banks was indicated in forecasts of the week. iy statement, estimates being in the neighborhood of s4,000.0 900. It is ex- pected that tomorrow's statement will reflect return of cash withdrawn for Christmas, which caused a smaller gain In cash last week than had been indi- cated by known movements of money.
 The bond market was irregular,with some heaviness in convertible issues. Total sales, par value, S1,4S0, ,000. United States twos coupon adva need l-S, the twos registered 3-S and threes coupons IA on call.

with the noodle. Marquard has done a few foolish things this winter, but he is q man who does not drink or dissi- pate, and he always reports in shape to do his share of the pitching. l am sorry that he has caused himself so much nororiety, but I do not think 1t will injure his effectiveness. In Tes- reau think We have a sure conner and a big fellow who can work overtime and deliver the goods. These three men will be hard to beat and they will go right along through the season, taking their turns. Demaree looked pretty good last fall. and we have one or two other good looking youngsters. Our pitching staff looks strong enough to pull us through.
 'I shall probably make couple of changes in the lineup of the team for next season. George Burns, for in stance, is too good to be left off the team and l expect to use him. He is a grand looking youngster and will probably be found in the outfield, but l cannot say what position he will play"
 McGraw then gave the Reds boost How do you figure the Reds in the race?" he was asked. MT. Hermann made a great deal when he secured Joe Tinker to manage your team. Joe is one of the greatest shortstops that ever played the game and one of the most brainy and courag ageous athletes in the business. The Cubs have been
 fighting my team close battles for a number of years, and Joe has always been right in the front rank In spirit, intelligence and knowledge of the game he has no superiors. l am not saying this because I am in your town and he happens to be your new manager
 Any one of my players will tell you that have always had this high opin- lon of Tinker. While no one can be sure that any man will succeed as manager until he has been tried, the ably bright.
 T see MT. Hermann is trying to get Roger Bresnahan. If he secures him to work with Tinker, do not hesitate to place the Reds among the contend CTS. Roger was with me for several years, and I know just what help he is to team when he Is in shane and working every day. Roger and Tinker will give the Reds spirit which they needed for a good while. I am willing to go on record as predicting as good as third place for the Reds, with Bres- nahan in line, and possibility of go- ing higher. A good catcher like Roger and another pitcher or two will make
 the team very serious factor in the race. Barring accidents, cannot place them lower than third, and they might so higher"

OROURKE,S NEW SYSTEM
 FOR PICKING UMPlRES.
Residents of Any City in the Circuit Are Barred, as He Says He Prefers Strange Men to . ].

James H. ORourke. president of the Eastern Baseball association, is giving as much thought just now to the se- lection of his umpireS as most of the club managers are to the selection of their players, and the managers are quietly securing the horizon for promising talent. Jim wants four or five competent men to umpire games, and he probably has his slate filled out now. He has made one important rul- ing regarding umpires. That is, he will not select a man who halls from any one of the eight cities in the East ern association The president prefers strangers. Ball players, he ayers, have had too much trouble with Umpires because of familiarity.
 The Empires Lot.
 Which sounds well for intention. The logic of the policy is that the stranger must remain so to the play CTS, and to this MT. O'Rourke agrees. Nobody knows more about umpire rows than James H. He has seen the unfortunate person biffed and banged, lashed furiously with tongue, fist and sometimes toe He is a Connecticut league pioneer. MT. O'Rourke could write an interesting book a foot thick and several long on the atrocities ot Connecticut league savages. He would not do 1t, though, for the victims might try to collect pensions. And there are almost as many old walloped veterans of the warlike baseball days as there are veterans of a more civil war. Not long ago a well meaning Rhode Island school teacher slipped to the Connecti- cut league for summer outing at umpiring. Abraham Lincoln was his bo nf strangers before the savases tried to "get" him from behind and in front. Noting the lack of civilization on the diamond, he started to write a book on the umpire as a martyr, but he didn't get far along with the book. The school board in that Rhode Island town ruled that there were enough tales of horror showed before unsus- pecting eyes. 80 Abe was suppressed The school board told him to stop umpiring. and that ended the book It is left for Mir O'Rourke to take up the pen.
 The War is Over.
 But Jim is confident that the war on umpires is over. He does not fear any outbreaks the coming season, for he was highly just and successful with the roughnecls of the 1912 sea son. He knows how to unhorse the angry ones.
 The league needs good umpires, and it will be big mistake if he signs some of the fellows who are supposed to stand chance" One fellow who is considered very likely to land a place has been batting around college games, but he has yet to win success as an umpire. That man will hardly do

JESS WILLARD KNOCKS
 OUT SOLDIER KEARNS
Sheriff Hamburger Attends Bout But
 Does Not Interfere.

New York, Dec. 27.-Jess Willard knocked out Soldier Kearns in the eighth round of scheduled ten round bout at Madison Square Garden to- night
 The knockout came suddenly Kearns landed a hard left to the ribs and a right to the neck. The blow appeared to anger the Texas fighter and he i'm mediately rushed and in mixpp brought a left hook up under Kearns' chin and followed 1t quickly with a right hook Kearns dropped back ward and was counted out Little Real Boxing,
 Neither fighter showed much know ledge of boxing. Willard, who had an advantage of half a foot in height, missed many of his swings. Kearns played mostly for the body, but vast ed his blows on Willard's arms. The weights were. Willard 221 and Kearns 196.
 Willard scored knockdown in the first round with right hook to the jaw, but Kearns rose immediately. In the fifth both men were tired. Will lard drew blood with a left jab to Kearns' nose. Kearns after missing with a wild swing, fioundered to the uOoE OA all 1OulS.
 No Need of Interference.
 Sheriff Harburger of New York county attended the bout in his official capacity and watched the contest closely but made no move to interfere, After the bout he said he had seen no reason whatever for interference. During the afternoon he had received telegram from Governor Dix which read
 T have just received from respon- sible source a telegram in the follow ing terms:
 "'A prize fighter engaged to appear in a public contest at Madison Square Garden Friday night, has made the foS- lowing statement over his signature will lick Willard with the first punch if I can. I hope to put one on his jaw or into his stomach in the first round and stop him as quickly as did One Round Davis. I will certainly try to put him to sleep as quickly as possible. (Signed) Alfred J.

PRESENT GAME BEST
 FOOTBALL EVER PLAYED
Changes in Rules All to the Good Ac-
 cordinq to Henry L. Williams.

New York, Dec. 27.-Pralse for the 1912 football rules with the statement that they made possible the best game of football ever played by American colleges" was expressed by Henry l.. Williams, coach of the University of Minnesota football team, in his report today before the National Collegiate Athletic association, as chairman of the rules committee. The association with delegates from nearly ninety colleges and universities present, met here for it's seventh annual session. Difficulties to Be Overcome. MT. Williams told of the difficulties that had to be overcome and of the many radical changes that were made, all of which, he said, proved most for tunate For several years back, he said, the proper adjustment of the bal ance between offense and defense with just the right equilibrium between these forces has always been serious problem. The advantage, he contend ed, had been on the side of the de- fense and it had been well recognized that as the goal line was approached the defense became stronger through the drawing in of the backs to support the line, so that the scoring of touch downs by equally balanced teams was exceedingly difficult. For these req sons. he said. the rules were changed to give four downs in ten yards in stead of three, a change which he characterized as the most important and beneficial introduced since the ten yard rule was adopted.
 The elimination of the onside kick was another change which he said was most important for the best interests of the game and was made because the committee felt that the advantage of the attack over the defense might be too great; because of the decided danger to the defensive backs and because of the element of luck in the play.

GIANTS MAY REPEAT.
New Works Great Manager Discusses Prospects for New Year in National leaque.

John McGraw has not lost faith in the Giants in spite of the many stories that have emanated from those who hope that the team will prove to be weaker than 1t was last season. While the little Napoleon was vaudevilling in Cincinnati last week he was interview ed by a couple of reliable critics. To them he said: "Of course 1 think the Giants will win the pennant again This is not an idle claim. I see nc reason why we should not do so al- though I am free to admit that Pitts burg and Cincinnati may make things interesting for us.
 "A good many critics are saying that our pitching staff is about ready to break, but I think that is mistaken judgment. Matty will win just as many games next year as he did last season, in my judgment. He is a won derful fellow, who knows how to con serve his strength. and is always there

Cows Get Drunk and Drown

The following item which appeared in the
Rockford Republic of August 10 only goes to show
that whisky beverage is as disastrous for the
beasts of the field it is for mankind. 1t is a safe

whisky drinking. They will not take any chances of
losing valuable cattle by the whisky route Why not
take equal precaution in protecting boys?
