SALE OF YOUNG PITCHER
BRINGS CLUB BIG PROFIT
Jersey City Pays $3.50 for Hugh Bedi-
emit, Then Sells Him for $4,000.

Hugh Bedient, bought by the Jersey
City club of the International league
last summer for $3.50 and now sold to
the Boston Red Sox for $4,000 in cash
and players, has suddenly jumped from
partial obscurity into a position OF
prominence among the pitchers Of the
country.
Bedient was drafted from the Fall
River club two years ago by the Red
Sox and went to the coast with the
te:.n last spring. Later he was farmed
out to the Providence club of the In
ternational league. but did not do par
ticularly well until bought by Jersey
city after Providence had tried to turn
him back to Boston.
Suddenly however, he showed a flash
OF his real skill and was allowed to
play out the season with Providence
by the consent of James J. Lillis. The
more Same9 he pitched the more Yalu-
ah!c he grew and when Jimmy Nc
y leer bought an interest in the Boston
LED Sex he made up his mind that he
must have Bedient back at any cost.
rms cost approximately was $4,000,
as In the meantime Jack Dunn of the
Salllmore club had offered Mr.. Lillis
as nigh as $4,000 for the pitcher.
By his stroke of baseball luck, James
j. LllIls and Hugh McBreen, the joint
owners of the Jersey City club were
able to strengthen their team material
~ to say nothing of the money end.
In addition the Red Sox will give Jer-
sey City the pick of all players not
wanted in Boston, including first call
on Bedient If he fails to live up to
expectations in the big show

FINANCIAL and COMMERCIAL.
SPECULATION AT LOW EBB.
Market Has Been Growing DulIer from
Day to Day.

New York, Jan. 24-There were in
dicatiOns today that the stock market
was taking account Of depressing in
fuences which have been obtruding
themselves recently. A characteristic
of the market of late has been the
placid manner in which 1t has ignored
developments that at other times
might have upset values. Movements
have been narrow, with the undertone
generally steady in the face of dis
appointing trade returns and disturb
ing political conditions. Although there
were a number Of unfavorable occur
rences yesterday, prices held steady,
but today the list was perceptibly
softer.
Although speculative opinion appar-
emily was somewhat more bearish in
keeping with the recent trend Of
events, price movements were too mar
row and trading was too light to in
dlcate a decided change in position.
Speculation is at low cbb and SEEM
iEgly awaits some new and tangible
influences of direct bearing upon Sc
Curlty values TO spur it into life. From
Gay to day the market has grown dull
er and today trading frequently came
to a standstill. After a steady open
ing, the list sold off with the most
decided weakness among the Hill is
sues and some Of the coaiers. Prices
stiffened on short covering just before
the close so that net changes among
the active stocks were insignificant
except for the losses of the coal and
Hill shares.
Bonds were irregular, with heavi-
ress in marlborough Metropolitan four
and halls and the Wabash and
United States Steel issues. On the
other hand, higher prices were estab-
lished for the Tobacco, Rock Island
and Denver & Rio Grande liens. Trad
ing in bonds continued to be on a

Decide to Become Observation-Disclosures
ing at HanoVer-Darrow and Hazel
hurst Observation-Disclosures Vigorous
Training Routine.

After my visit to New York and de-
feat Of P. D. Slillman, the amateur
champion, my confidence increased and
determined to become a professional
runner.
Through acquaintance with a Phila-
delphia man, who was visiting in Taft
Vile, l was invited to go to that city,
which was the headquarters of the
professionals, and I started to do some
light training in the winter Of 1887,
intending to go to Philadelphia in the
spring.
l procured a position in the Han
over mills, and staked out q track in
a nearby field. where I ran from three
to five miles every evening. I soon
had a large number of boys training
and the superintendent of the mills,
Mr.. Snow. was usually an interested
spectator Of our sports. After work
ing there for five weeks resigned
my position with feelings of regret,
as 1 had formed many friendships with
the warm hearted people Of Hanover,
and prepared to go to Philadelphia.
On the evening Of the day l had
finished my labors at Hanover, I was
walking to Norwich, and when pass
ing the Miantonomo hotel, then kept
by the late John Mulholland, l was
hailed by the proprietor, who asked
me where was going. informed him
Of my plans, and he said;
Il have q good thing for you right
here at home. You know barrow has
just beaten McMahon. and we want a
man to beat him, and you're the man
to do it."

PITCHING BOX CHANGES.
McGraw Has Idea About Keeping
TwirIer's Feet in Place.

John McGraw has laid before John
Ward, who is a member of the Ma
tonaI league rules committee, sug-
gestions. for changes in the rules deal
ing with the pitchers box. McGraw
urges that something be done at the
FEBRUARY meeting to legislate so that
pitchers will not be often violating
the rule that requires one foot to be
in contact with the rubber when de-
Hvering the ball Pitchers sometimes
have a foot back Of the rubber or
plate in order to get q longer step
and at the same time it is hard for
the umpire to see that they are not
in proper position. McGraw's plan is
to have the ground Immediately be-
hind the rubber dug out several inches.
We're this the case, the foot of 9
pitcher stepping back of the slab
would disappear in the excavation and
the illegal step would be readily de-
tected,
McGraw says his plan would stop
lots of kicking and delay of the game.
He also asked Ward to advocate that
all raised pitchers boxes be Of a uni
form height. The rules stipulate that
the plate shall not be more than Is
inches higher than the base lines and
the home plate, but even so the
height varies. Another suggestion of
McGraw's is that rubber strips be laid
forward from the extremities Of the
slab for foot or so, so that pitchers
shall not step outside the lateral ex-
tent of the box.
