A LIsTLEss SESSION.
saturday's Market Characterised by
 Nondeseript Trading.

New York, July 2S.-The most that can be said of the stock market yes terday is that 1t opened, some trading was carried on. and 1t closed. There was nothing to distinguish it from any day of nondescript trading usual on Saturdays in the summer time. At the opening Nome strength was ex- hIbited, but like the tired worker, 1t soon relaxed. and prices sagged, and more stock was offered than support CTS were inclined to take, National Biscuit followed it's everyday weakness of the last several days, and at the close showed a 2 7-S point loss. Amer lcan Tobacco went sliding down cas- fly and showed net decline of 1-2 points.
 The stocks that recorded any strength were in a large minority. Some of the specialties, aside from Illinois Central, which made 8 net gain of 1 point, seemed to be the only stocks that retained any strength Woolworth Stores scored S-4 ad- vance, and Bethlehem Steel preferred on 100 shares. was marked up 1 1-2 joints, The news of the day was not such that the market was entitled to sell of, SO It's action was as peculiar as 1t has been for some time. The London, market showed an improve ment both In the volume of business and tone of optimism. Consols were higher, and while money was still in firm demand the outlook for trading was reported to be better

MARoUARD'S SUCCESS DUE
 TO JOHN ]. MGRAW.
Giant Leader Gave TWirler a Chance When Others Considered Him a Failure.

My success as a pitcher is due, first, to Manager John McGraw of the Giants, for his faith in me and in giv- ing me chance when nearly every body else was calling me a failure" says Rube Marquard. "McGraw kept saying l was pitcher when I some- times almost doubted it myself and so it is McGraw who is responsible for me being a member of a champion ship club.
 And, naturally, that club has con tributed very largely to me success The boys behind me-each and every one-have helped me consider them the finest, ga,nest lot of ball players that ever made up a team. You may be sure I appreciate them.
 T certainly had a hard time in the big league from the moment I was bought by Manager McGraw for S11,- 900 from the Indianapolis club in 1908, unti last season. when 1 finally began winning. People seemed to expect more of me than of anyone eles on account of the price paid for me by the club, and when I couldn't win for the Giants as I won for h. dianapolis I was banned right and left.
 All that only made me the more determlned to make good, bat it was a long pull. Of course, was greatly gratif1ed when I finally succeeded; would hardly have been human if hadn't.
 Tt was Wilbert Robinson, the coach of the. Giant pitchers. who really push ed n9e into my stride. Robbie'-the bestfold boy in the world-took hold of me when I didn't have much con- fidence in my ability to get 'em over when runners were on the bases. 1 would be fearful of losing control, so I would try to put the ball right across the plate without anything on it. Then the batters wouldd give me fine lacing.
 Robbie took that out of me in short order.
 You cut loose all the time, and never mind where it is going he tolG me. Aim for the plate, put your stuff on the ball and let 'er go,' he said and that's what l did.
 With him coaching me constantly I soon found that I had control and my stuff at the same time and then l got confidence. I think Robbie is a wonderful adviser for young pitch CT, and I owe a great deal to him"

MOTORCYCLE USED IN
 IMMIGRATION SERVICE.
Inspector w. c. Vaughn Employs Two
 Wheeler in Patroing Border.

That mechanical locomotion is rap idly replacing the horse in practically every known business is fact that is shown continually, but each day brings some new phrase in this supplanting fthe animal. Of course, there are many ways in which automobiles and motorcycles may be used more ad- vantageously than the horse, but 1t is nevertheless rather surprising that little two-wheeled motorcycle can be used to advantage in wild and woolly country and carry at the same time a heavy rider and as much baggage as a frontiersman would want to pack on his horses. Nevertheless this is what is being done by w. C. Vaughn, an inspector in the United States i'm migration service, whose duty consists in patrolling the border between Cali fornia and Mexico on the lookout for smugglers.
 The United States immigration serv- ice has found that the motorcycle Is much more economical than the horse, in view of the fact that few of these inspectors mounted on motorcycles can patrol a mich larger area of country than an inspector mounted on a , horse, which Is reasonable enough to to believe, and at the same time ren- der themselves more valuable to the government, Inspector Vaughn is one of the best known motorcycle men in California and has participated in a number of thrilling and exciting ad- ventures in chasing and arresting Mexican and American smugglers who were enaged in the practice of bring ing contra.band goods into this country Inspector Vaughn Is an old time mo- l torcycle rider, having toured through | Japan a number of times, and later he returned to this country and acted as Japanese interpreter in the i'm I migration service, being promoted to | the position of inspector. When In- l spector Vaughn was given this post, he immediately realized the difficulties I that would beset him were he to adopt i the horse as his mount As he is ! thoroughly familiar with motorcycles, l he decided that the motorcycle was the
 ideal vehicle for him, and therefore he
 selected a type which he knew was l upon to carry hi mat any and all
 times through the most exacting con-
 ditions of country and weather.
 He invariably carries a complete
 camp outfit, as he is frequently for
 weeks entirely beyond the reach of
 civilization and naturally, as most of the ranchers in that part of the
 country are in sympathy with the
 smugglers, he must carry a large SUD-
 ply of food and ammunition with him.
 It seems incredible that a motor | cycle could be made to carry such a
 load even on city streets, but In-
 spector Vaughn Is a familiar figure in

Montville's defeated the Swift and company team of New London, com posed of Bulkeley and other school players, Saturday afternoon to af- ter 8 gruellhlg contest of 12 stubborn ly fought innings.
 Brazil, the phenomenal young left handler that has put the Indian sign on all the teams that have faced him, was on the mound for the visitors with the well-known Bowers behind the bat. The young southpaw pitched a. grand game, having r strikeouts to his credit, but when it came to the pincheS he was not near as strong as the Montville star, Jim Phillips, who was as impenetraible as the rock of Gi- braltar.
 The M0ntvilIe star twirled a mas terly game and was given grand sup port by J. Flaherty, whose work be- hind the bat and with the stick was big factor in winning the game, his Quickness in the tenth inning in get ting the ball away to first base after taking it from Phillips for forced play at the plate and getting the batsman at first when danger seemed imminent. completing double play, brought the spectators to their feet.
 The contest was in deep contrast to the game on the local grounds the week before, not a dispute of any kind marring the splendidly fought duel. The score:

stunts, both at bat and in the field. Ned objected to McGraw's way of handling bat and attempted to show him better method, but John calmly pointed out that he was hitting over
 300, while Ned's best batting record was .270 The argument was unan- swerable. McGraw was never strong on taking advice, and Hanlon did not force too much of 1t on him, recogniz- ing that his scrappy second sacker had a way of delivering the goods in his own particular way After a little time at second, McGraw was trans ferred to thind, and speedily became the crack man in that position in the league. In 1894 the Orioles captured the pennant, and repeated the two years following.

oRloLE BIG FOUR.
Baltimore Stars of 1891-MeGraw, Manager Ned HanIon, Jennings and keeer.

As manager of the New York Giants lawn McGraw has made a reputation that extends wherever baseball is known. His prOudest boast, however, is that he was one of the Big Four of the world beating Baltimore Orioles, perhaps the greatest aggregation of baseball artists in the history of the game. McGraw was playing with Ce- dar Rapids. Ia, in 1891, when he at- tracted the attention of the Baltimore Nationals, and he was sold to that club in August of that year. That was the real beginning of Muggsy's career. At first the Baltimore players and fans did not consider McGraw seriously considering that his diminutive size was handicap that he could not overcome. They were mistaken. For some time the little recruit warmed the bench. but toward the end of his first season with Baltimore the third baseman suffered an injury and Mc- Graw got his chance. He was only a substitute, but he made good 50 won derfully that he was ever afterward in the regular lineup, and in a few years was one of the bright stars of the Oriole Big Four-Manager Edward Hanlon, McGraw, Jennings and Keeler, Ned Hanlon was a master of baseball strategy, and McGraW'g association with him was probably of great assist ance in getting him where he now is
 At the same time, the Little Napoleon had a brain of his own, and used f.
 The Orioles really transformed the game of baseball, and McGraw was not the least of the innovators, He often surprised the veteran Hanlon by doing sensational and unprecedented
