FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
coPPERs SHOW STRENGTH.
Have ReViving Effect on Traders Who
 Rally to Buying Side.

New York, March 2.-Facing the blow which had been threatened by the Pujo committee in it's accumulation of evidence against the money trust the stock market yesterday followed its usual tendency. when extreme fs- sues have come to the surface and held a fairly well sustained tone through out the half days session. The stocks selected to carry the banner of sup port were the coppers and they per formed their functional duties very satisfactorily and kept prices within 8 reasonable range of fluctuations. As usual, the stock market has discounted to a marked degree the publication of the Pujo recommendations in it's re- cent sensational declines. and it's strength of the last three days of the week appeared to have been fortify- ing it for the solar 6Iexus blow which the Pujo committee was expected to land on Wall street.
 Not only was the stock market con- fronted with the pronunciamento of recOmrne endatiOns for the control of securities and reform measures were contained in the PujO committees re- port; also within the next few days the passing of the old and the incom- ing of the new administration were before traders, suggesting the possibi1- ity, if not the probability, of disturb ing elements to follow, which may ser lously disarrange both the investment and speculative business on the New ' ork stock exchange.
 The early trading yesterday display ed a heaViness in stocks. but the de- yeIopment of strength in the copper list had a revfvfng effect on traders, only in the coppers, but in some other issues and at the close the total gains exceeded the losses and presented q fair balance of a favorable nature.

NICE JOB FOR COACH.
England Willing to Pay $1o,ooo for
 Olympic Team Trainer.

Probability that the English team at the next Olympic games will be trained by an American coach is made known in Chicago. F. Mackay Edgar and Bernard Bosanquet, both of Lon don, we're in this country recently and went to Chicago to confer with Ever ett c. Brown on the subject of getting an American trainer for the British Olympic team. MT. Brown was for mer president of the Amateur Ath- letic union, and American delegate to the last Olympic games.
 We have been deputized to find out on this side of the Atlantic what ails our athletes" said MT. Edgar to MT. Brown. ffIt will be easy to get a win ming team if you follow my advice" said MT. Brown. That is-get an American trainer"
 MT. Brown said he expected the Englishmen to end the conversation there but MT. Edgar replied, That is what we have made up our minds to do and we wish you to recommend a few men for us to consider"
 MT. Brown named Seene FitZpat- rick of Princeton university. Jack Moakley of Cornell, Harry Gill of the University of Illinois and Martin J. Delaney of the Chicago Athletic as- sociation as trainers, any one of whom

WELSH's TITLE CLAIM
 JOLTED BY OWN FOLKS
Englishmen Insist That Lightweight
 Defend Honors in His Own Country
 Before Corning to United States.

The day dreams of Freddie Welsh, lightweight champion of England and self-styIed champion of the world. are being surely jolted. Public opinion throughout England is insisting that Welsh defend his British title again before he departs on his proposed tour of the United States in quest of a battle with Willie Ritchie. Parti- sans of both Matt Wells and Hughey Mehegan are loud in their protesta- tions that Welsh has not decisively demonstrated he is the master of both Wells and Mehegan and until he proves his superiority beyond ques- ton it is held that the pride of Pon- honor by claiming the British title, let alone usurping the worlds cham pionship-
 Just what Welsh thinks of this at tempt to force him to again defend his title within such a short space of time Is not known, but 1t is reason able to suppose that Freddie is not altogether dattered at this universal questioning of his ring honors.
 Their Second Meeting.
 The contest between Mehegan and Wells a. few days ago was their second 20 rounds. On September 16 last Wells, then the reigning British champion, was sent against Mehegan in q twenty-round match. From the tap of the opening gong it was appar- ent that the lad from the antipodes was the master of the Brttisher. Round after round Mehegan hooked and shot home straight punches that jolted Up the champion and made him wild with rage. Wells fought back viciously enough, but try as he would he could not locate the swiftly moving antipidean long enough to get home some affective punches.
 Finally Wells became so angry when Er IcI1 I1Ty a wide margin he lost his head com pletely and walking up to Mehegan as the latter was going back to his corner at the end of the fourteenth round, Wells deliberately struck Me hogan a vicious blow on the back of the head. The blow dropped Hughey to his knees and as he was struggling to get up Wells caught him with an other right-hand smash while he was down, and the waIlop put Mehegan away for several seconds. It was one of the most brutal fouls ever seen in a. British ring. Wells was freely criti- cised for his tactics. but the papers softened their condemnation by stat ing that Wells undoubtedly had for gotten himself in the excitement of the contest.
 Meheean Looks Good,
 According to British writers Niche gan is an unusually clever scrapper. He hits well with both hands and car ries @ punch stout enough for all practical purposes.
 In a recent interview Mehegan stat ed that he is willing to make a sub stantia1 side bet in another match with Freddie Welsh. When they boxed at London on December 16 last Freddie was given credit for a tweRty-round point decision, but press accounts of the outcome vary so much that is impossible to form an opinion of who really won that contest. Naturally, Mehegan and his friends are vocifer- ously declaring that Welsh was not entitled to the verdict and because of this feeling Tn the Mehegan camp the talk of side bet has resulted.

was the next victim; they secured but two singles an done run. He came right back at Columbus few days later, beating them by 8 score of to 0, the losers registering six hits off his swift and puzzling delivery. This strong finish settled all doubts as to his ability to qualify.
 In the forming of the big 12-club organization in 1892 Killen was allotted to the Washington club. That team, as usual was dragging in lowly po- sition, but Killen won IS out of the first 22 games he pitched for them, and i'll the last half of the season, with the Senators right down in the cellar, the big southpaw won half his games. In 1893 the Pittsburg club bought Franks release. paying Washington a half over the Pirate management realized that it has picked a gem, rare and brilliant. The season of 1893 was when the pitchers distance was leng- ened to 60 feet, proving severe hand icap to many noted hurlers. Under these restrictions Frank Killen pitch ed the greatest ball of his career; he made a record that was marvellous when compared to the way the de- livery of most pitchers was being slugged.
 Killen pitched fl regulation games, losing eight a percentage of 300 in wins. He won 13 in a row, losing just three of the last 28, a record that has
  in the hall of fame. During te years of 1894-95, Killen didn't do much pitching; one injury after another kept hi mout of the game, and his work in 1895 was a failure. The fans demanded his scalp, but the vase head of Manager Connie Mack came to Franks rescue. The far-seeing Con- nie had KiIen's trouble doped out cor rectly, and he could see that the lad whose work two seasons before was the talk of the baseball world had many years of good pitching left in that mighty left whip
 KiIlen came back in 1896 true to form, winning 20 out of his first 20 games and having d percentage in the win column of .659 for the season. For two more seasons Ki1len worked for Pittsburg with varying success, end ing his work with them at the close of the 1898 season. Summing up Kill lens's record up to that period 1t will compare with the great ones of the game. AS a consistent winner he led all southpaWs for all time. Killen was with Washington and Boston during 1899. He wound up his career in the Big league in 1900. pitching few games for Chicago, four of them against Pittsburg. In 1901 Frnak took pitching 21 games for Wheeling then shut-out games to his credit, and in one contest whiting fl men, showing that he still retained the stuff to fool batsmen. While with Indianapolis in 1902 he won 15 games out of 19. He practically finished his professional career with the Atlanta club of the Southern league in 1903.

Famous Left Hander Considered by Many the Greatest of His Day Remarkable Was His Debut.

Frank Killen, after going out into the wide world and making a reputa- tion for himself as a baseball hurler, came back to his home town and quail flied to fill the shoes of his famous predecessor. Edward Morris. In some respects Kfllen had the shade on the great Edward-they each saw six years service with the Pittsburg club. Morris pitched S3 games more than did Frank, but I<illen's percentage o4 wins was better, .644. In actual pitching as far as hits. runs. strikeouts and control were concerned Morris had 1t over Killen, but in his day and gener- ation Frank Killen was considered by expert critics to be the greatest south paw of his time.
 In 1890 young Killen got his first professional job with Manistee, Mich of the Michigan State league. He pitched ball that will long be remen- bered by the residents of that one time famed 1umbertown. In his very first game he shut out the Lansing team whiting IT men. A few days later he blanked the same team, hold7 ing them to one hit and flaming 15. This work of course. gave this youth of IS summers a great boost: his phe- omenaI pitching was the talk of the W hole state. But not stopping at these games he kept right on hurlfng sen satjonal ball until he had a round 6ozen of these games stacked up 10 his credit, Perhaps the debut of Frank Killen was as remarkable as any ever made, and a study of his record would substantiate the claim,
 In quick succession this now fla nous lad was whirIed from state league ball to a higher class, first to Grand Rapids. then to the Interna tional league. Ht pitched four games in that league: then the Internal onal disbanded. A mad rush was made after Killen. Minneapolis of the West ecn association got his signature to a contract. and he began operations at once by holding the Denver team to four hits and handing them good drubbing.
 Frank flashed through that league pitching senationaI ball, winning Il out of 16 games. His most note City hitlessbztbzt btb btbtbtztbtzbfli0 worthy feat was in holding Sioux City hitless In a, nine-inning game, and a. perfect game from a pitchers standpoint, only one man reaching first, and that on an error. KiIlcn began the season of 1891 with Mime apolis, doing splendid work. About midseason the Milwaukee club of the American association secured his services. His start in the ''big show wasn't accompanied by any great suc- cess, losing his first two games. He followed by holding Boston to one hit and shut them out. Columbus
