Baron Wilkes, 2.18, the last and probably the greatest of the sons of the incomparable progenitor of the trotting speed, George Wilkes, died a few days ago at Emporia, Kan. at the ripe old age of 31 years. Superin- tendent E. E. RaIston of the. Baron Wilkes farm concludes his letter an- nouncing his death: For the past four years we have owned him he has never missed a feed and seemed well and hearty at all times. We bred three mares to him this summer, but he failed to get them in foal He never had a loose tooth or never lost one He never was cross and never which goes to show that he was of an extraordinarily good disposition He was sound as a bullet when he died He was sick only one day and did not seem to suffer much.

WHY DREW TRIMS THEM.
By the Time 20 Yards Have Boon
 Covered He is in the Lead

The wonderful sprinting of Howard Drew of Springfield has been one of the features of the indoor track sea son. A New York writer says of him: the other fellows? In almost every start since his initial appearance in New York last fall Drew has had his field completely licked by the time he has covered 30 yards: Plenty of our good sprinters are as fast leaving their marks as Drew. They break with him stride for stride but by the time the colored boy has run 20 yards he in variably has two-yard advantag ge over the best of them. The reason for Drew's early lead is that he picks up his running quicker, and therein lies the secret of his success. When Drew has taken three strides he is going fully as fast the other dashers are in the middle of their races
 An old timer who has seen them all since the days of Lon Myers, after seeing Drew run in the A. A. U.' meet 10 days ago, said: That boy picks up quicker than any man I ever saw. He gets into his running a yard quicker than Arthur Duffy did in his prime, and If any man can equal Duffy's rec ord of 3-5 seconds for 100 yards, Drew is the one
 Drew frankly admits now he is not in condition to go over 70 yards at his best. He has done hardly a stroke Of training all winter, relying solely
 
 quick pickup to get him home in front. Neither did he train very hard for the national championships at Pittsburg last fall. In the 100 yards race at that meet Drew got his usual early lead, but Alvah Meyer came along fast in the last 20 yards and almost nipped the colored boy. In fact not few of the spect tators thought that Meyer should have been given a dead heat Drew has been fit for the 100 yards distance but once in his life and that was last summer when he trained hard for the Olympic try and later for the big meeting at Stockholm. Everyone who saw the great meet in the Harvard stadium re- members well how easily the stock colored boy beat Ralph Craig in the final heat of the 100 meters, and it's a certainty that Drew would have repeated in the same event at Stock holm. but for that unfortunate break down in the last mi-finaI heat. Drew has laid his plans to cut out baseball entirely this spring. He will stick to the cinder path, and will train hard with the idea of developing a finishing burst to add to his wonder ful ability to get into stride quickly. If the colored fier accomplishes this end we wiK see some record sprinting this summer

M'eRAw A GOOD WAITER.
While Orioles Manager He Made Rec
 ord for Free Passes

Since the National and American rd-keepers have taken to keeping track of the number of times the play CTS have gone to first base by the free transportation route Jimmy Sheckard of the Chicago Cubs holds the record for the National league and Donie Bush or the Detroit Tigers for the Americans and last season, according 10 Secretary John A. Heyd1er's fig ures, Sheckard got 122 passes in 146 games, whife according to the Amer ican league records, Bush was passed 110 times in IA games.
 These figures do not approach the record made by Manager John Me Graw of the Giants in 1899. when the Baltimore Orioles (says one writer) The record was kept that year by the baseball expert of the Baltimore Sun. This is what he said about it:
 Manager McGraw of the Orioles has made a record this season never before equaled in the annals of the game. Sew eral times month or so earlier In the season. the fact that he had reach ed his base at least once in every game Of the season except one was referred to in the Sun as something unprece- dented.
 Tn the issue of July it was shown that he had reached first base twice out of every three times he had faced the pitcher to bat and it was shown that his very remarkable skill in get ting his base on called balls had en- abled him to get to first base some 65 times in the first 64 games. Since that time and up to Saturday, August 12, Manager McGraw has not failed to reach first base at least once in ev- cry game. His record, therefore, is 95 games, in 94 of which he has man aged to get to first base at least once and usually oftener. In the last 31 games up to Saturday McGraw had got 35 bases on balls and been hit three times, a total of 3S passes. As he had previously gotten 65 bases on balls and been hit five times, his total of free passes, secured from opposing pitchers, mounts up to the imposing total of 10S in 95 games. This is a record in itself never before equaIed In the 31 games he has gotten almost as many bases on balls as all the other men on the team put together

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET GAINS STRENGTH.
Substantial Advances in Prices After
 Period of Uncertainty.

New York, April S.-After pursuing an uncertain course, with prices l-rst above and then below yesterday s closing range, the stock market de- veloped strength today. and trading ended with number of substantial advances. Fluctuations seemed to be chiefly the reflection of activity on the part of the professional traders, who found it about as difficult to move stocks in one direction as in the other. Evidences of underlying strength were not lacking, but operators on both sides Of the market were unable to attract following, owing to the dis inclination to make extensive commit ments at the present time, when no definite idea has been obtained as to the outcome of the struggle over the tariff.
 Of the various influences brought to bear upon the market today. the presi- dents message received first attention, but it's effect upon the market was comparatively small At the time of it's delivery the list sold off sharply, but the movefpent was short lived, and had the appearance of q bear drive, carefully timed to the hour of publi- cation of the message. The market grew dull, as it had done following q bullish demonstration in the market Renewed confidence was exhibited in the upward mov enent of the last hour and best prices of the day were at tained. Reading and the copper stocks were especially strong.
 The highly favorable character of the government report on winter wheat was a factor in bringing about the final upturn. although it's influ ence was ninimized by the fact that an excellent showing had been confi dently expected. The same was true of the copper producers figures, the March decrease of 1S,000. 900 pounds being in line with predictions.
