TWENTY YEARS ON THE CTNDER PATH
By JOHN D. NOLAN.
 NUMBER 13.

Two Training Jobs Stakeholder
 Makes a GetaWay-Rounding Him
 Up in ProVidence-DeVlin and Don
 Ian Matched-seating the Crooks. at
 Their Own Game-Deviin Wins from
 Donlsn.
 On the evening of the day that Don Ian and Feeney had fleeced the Berke- ley sports 6 match was arranged be- tween Bob Devlin of Berkeley, a local runner who had won several races, and in whom his friends had the utmost confidence, and Tom Pryor of Lons- dale, R. l., to run 100 yards for S150 a side. The Devlin people made me an offer of $50 to train DevHn for two weeks, and l accepted it and brought him to Taftville, where he fast rounded into good condition.
 Devlin ruled 8 strong favorite in the betting at the track at Narra gansett Pier, but when the referee ordered them to get ready Pryor refused to run and the referee declared all bets off and awarded Devlin the stakes and gate money.
 The ticket seller. who had in his possession S155, had eloped with the money, and upon our arrival in Provi- dence we discovered him coming out of the clothing store of J. B. Barnaby, where he had invested $40 in 8 suit and overcoat. After a little persuasion he turned the balance of s117 over to Devlin, but the Providence Telegram, which held the stakes, refused to turn them over and eventually gave each party the amount they had posted.
 That day l received an offer of S5O from a sporting man of PaWtuclSet to run Jimmy Farrell of Pawtucket ten miles, three weeks later, in a, Paw tucket skating rink. I accepted his offer and left for home the following day, intending to train there.
 A feeling of resentment against Don Ian and 8 desire to get even for the Feeney robbery actuated the Berkeley sports in proposing to match Devlin to run Donlan on the same terms as he had proposed when the Feeney race was arranged A match for s150 a side was at once arranged, to be run of two weeks later at Narragansett park, I received a telegram from Devlin's packers at once, offering me S60 to train him, and Bob arrived at Taftville the following day.
 Two weeks of hard work put him into even better condition than before and he ran a trial in 10 2-5s. for his packers the day before the race was to be run.
 On the day of the race great crowd

COLLINS WORTH MORE
 TO TEAM THAN COBB.
Philadelphia Fans Figure That Hard Hitting lnfieIder Ranks Higher Than OAtfieder.

On the basis that a star inffelder who Is hard hitter is more valuable to his team than a hard hitting cut fielder, Philadelphia fans are trying to pry loose the crown of baseball from Ty Cobb's brow and place it on the receptive head of Eddie Collins. Phil adelphia never could reconcile itself to Ty Cobo, and will not admit that he is the greatest of living ball players aS long as the Coliinses, Bakers, ct aI, wear the uniform of the Athletics
 Combining defensive and offensive ability to the highest degree, it is maintained that players like Wagner Collins and Lajoie do more to hold their teams up in the race than the CobbS, Schultes and Jacksons. This is a difficult question to decide. Clever fielding and good hitting are fused in outflelding more often than not, but among the infehers It is rare that a brilliant and spectacular fielder is mighty with the stick Before the ad- vent of Collins, Wagner and Lajoie were UnquestiOnably the kings of the infieId, but Eddie has forced his way up until he has OutshOne his rivals. His youth and speed on the bases give him the call over HOnus and Larry, both of whom can hit and field quite as well
 There are many iniielders who cover a lot of ground and hit well, such as Baker and McInnis of the Athletics, Hoblitzel of the Reds. Lord of the White SoX, Chase of the Yankees, K0- netchy of the Cardinals, and Larry Doyle of the Giants, but none of these has a batting average lowering around
 $50 year in and year out and at the same time possess the fielding ability of Collins, Wagner and LajOie.
 The big league teams are generally constructed on the basis of a strong defensive infieId and a strong offen- sive outfield, but there must be good fielding and hitting ability all around, Most championship teams have two or more exceptional hitters in the out field such as Clarke and Leach of the Pirates, Holman, Schulte and Sheck- ard of the Cubs, and Cobb and Craw- ford of the Tigers. The Athletics are an exception, as their principal hit- ting strength centers in the infield around Collins and Baker.
 If the infelders have hitting strength so much the better for the team. But it doesn't prove anything for Collins, and he will have to keep up his good work for several seasons in order tU 1 convince most fans that he is as great a player as the only Ty Cobb.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
NO LIFE IN MARKET.
Few Active Stocks Moved Point in
 Either Direction.

New York, Feb. 14.-Few of the act i've stocks moved either up or down as much as point today. Quotations were advanced in langJid way at the opening, fell back again to an ap- proximate level with yesterdays close and stayed there until shortly before the end of the day, when q bear drive weakened the list
 The few signs of life in the market recently seemed to have disappeared. The large interests showed no desire to take a decided position on either side, and professional operators were without leaders, Speculation was en- tirely lacking in initiative, and trad CTS said that signs pointed to a period of intense dullness such as existed for month after month last year.
 The reasons usually assigned for this forecast are the approach of the pres idential campaign and the continued dullness in business, from neither of which restraints is there the promise of d speedy release.
 The rise in prices al the beginning of the day was ascribed largely to the influence of buying for London ac- count. Foreign purchases were esti- mated at ,GG9 shares Berlin bought Canadian Pacific which was one of the strongest railroad stocks.
 Pressure against some of the less active industrials- particularly the shares of the independent steel com Panies, led to reports of dividend re- auctions. The decline of two points in Republic Steel preferred was at tributed to report of this nature. Within the last month this stock has fallen more than ten points. The cop per stocks were again strong and the producers were said to be doing q fairly good business More than ordi- nary interest centers in the fortnight ly statement of the European copper supply, to be published late this week While the European consumption has been heavy, it is expected that the large export movement from this side recently will be reflected to a greater extent than for some time past. The outward movement of copper SC far this month is reported to have been Of almost record proportions.
