FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
GENERAL ELECTRIC DROPS.
Falls Seven Points Below Its Bes
 Price on Thursday.

New York Nuly 2G.-The promise held out in yesterdays late rise on tho Stock Exchange was hardly fulfilled today. While the tendency was again upward, the movement was so slug gish and for the most part uncertain as to indicate the existence of a for :. midable bear faction.
 Optimism provoked by the General Electric stock dividend suffered a set back when that issue fell sharply to almost seven points below the preyi- ous days best price. Attempts to cr2- ate bullish sentiment out of the action of the General Electric directors evil dently were futile, the episode being regarded as an isolated case, without direct bearing or significance upon in dustrial conditions as whole.
 United States Steel rose above yes terday's top figure early in the day, with other active stocks selling on the advance, soon caused some reaction. The statement of the Steel corpora tion for the second quarter of the cur rent year is to be issued next Tues day, and earnings for that period form the subject of some conjecture. There is likewise much guesswork as to the St. Paul dividend, which will proba- ply be determined next week, but the course of the stock today gave no hint Rs to the outcome.
 Aside from the Hill shares, which were again prominent for persistent strength, most of today's gains @ware in stocks of a special or inactive char acter. National Biscuit, which has stead dily declined since last week. added materially to it's loss on rumors af- fecting the dividend.

FASTER BASEBALL CAUSES
 MORE INJURIES TO PLAYERS.
Spitball a Dangerous Feature of Pres
 ent Day Game.

Many people. wonder why 1t is so many more players are injured in baseball these days than was the case years aga, It Is a fact that the per centage of players incapaoitated is greasr now than before. The real reason is because baseball men are faster, take more chances, and the game Is mers scientifically played. First and primary shere are more close plays on the diamond. That ne- cessitates greater speed, players in their desire te win take more chances, and pitchers employ more speed andd sharper curves, which they often are unable to control. All this tends to more danger
 Because of the development of team play, and a systematic defense, including the shifting inf1eld and outfield to the supposed weakness of some batter there are more close plays at first base. Because of trying to kill off bunts there are more close plays at the other bases. Because of the pitchout and waste ball the catch CT has a better change to try for base stealers. The result is the desperate slide, which always carried an element of danger both to basemaD and base runner. As 8 recompense for the in CTedSCN OduSCIy DdSSIAcA nave lSollLSO how to care for themselves better, and there are fewer spikings than four or five years ago. At the same time few CT runners subject the baseman to spikes aloft, although collisions are more numerous.
 In the case of pitchers. the spitball, difficult to control, makes a hit bats man a more serious affair. The spit ball, to be effective and get it's sharp break, must be fast so broken arms are not uncommon when the batter is plugged. The old roundhouse curves seldom fool for long a 20th century slugger, unless they are interspersed as a change of pace from fast deliv- cry. To get sharper curves the speed must be greater. Another reason why more players are out of the game has for its basis the increase in the speed of the game itself rather than the se- riousness of the injury. In these days of large rosters and substitutes for nearly every available position, a regular slightly injured and minus part of his speed is inferior to any except a poor substitute.

FEW HIGH CLASS HORSES SHOWN
Season SC Far Unroductive of Fast StocJoe Patchen H. 205la Only Pacer of Real Mert-C The Limit Best Trottng Prospect Exhibited.

There were several noticeable lessons taught by the opening meeting. of the Grand Circuit at Grand Rapids.
 The fact that is being discussed on every hand Is the lack of horses of class in both the tretting and pacing divisions of the sport. Counting the curtain raiser meeting at Lansing, nearly 100 horses have made their in- itial bow to the public, and this num- Der includes practically all of the steeds that were supposed to comprise the best the land afforded, prior to the beginning of racing, Only two of this number could possibly be called Glass A" performers--one trotter and one pacer, The latter is of course the son of Joe Patchen. Joe Patchen Il.
 (2,05 1-s), winner of the ComStock pace, the first $500 wiggling event to be contested. This one looks like sensational performer, and unless a3 guesses go astray, he will win about all Of the big purses this season in his class. Grand Opera is the only one that appears to have stamina enough to give the Mackenzie stallion any thing like an argument, and this latter son of Claus Forester and Little Belle will just about take care of all the others, and do it quite as easily as the Joe Patchen horse will take care or Grand Opera. Fanny D.. Murphy's supposed good one. is rank counter felt; The Assessor, from Mir. Geers' stable is a disappointment to his saunchest admirers. Ffnget from Wal ter Cox's barn is cipher; while Jes sic Direct. Charley Deans pet, and Beth Clark. the pick or Billy Shows collection, are two that can be thrown into the discard without msre ado.
 Among those seen under the fire of real battle before the Estabrooh son of Searchlight, c The Limit (2.04 1-D is just a mite better than anything that has come into the spotlight thus far. The white mare, ZOmbreweF (2.04 1-4), was easily disposed of by the Denver paceF OH WednesCay, and the widely heralded spei wonder from the Pa cific, Don Pronto f2.05 1-4) also fell be- fore his prowess. -Branham Boughman and Ginger looked cheap beside him, and if c The Limit stays sound he will hold all of these as safe as can be. It is, therefore, quite generally conceded that there is one green pacer (Joe Patehen IL and one of the fast class es e The Limit that have class, but no more.

Captain Daniel Murphy of the Athletics, who with Mrs. Murphy, has been spending several days in town, is in Providence, being called there on account of the death of his brother, whose funeral takes place today.
 Captain Dan is suffering from water ol the knee as the result of an injury received in sliding home at Chicago eight weeks ago The knee does not bother Dan in walking but the stren- uous exercise of the national game is too severe for the injured member. After a shore visit here he will return to Philadelphia and have his leg put into a plaster cast until completely recovered. He feels confident that he will be back in the game in about three weeks. Captain Dan is anxious to get back into the fight and the Philadelphia fans are just as anxious to have him once more in the lineup. The Atheletics need him to help raise their winning percentage.
