Derrick Arm Newest
Trouble of Police

The derrick arm is the latest develop
mcnt in the Police Department. 1t is
no relation to the short arm of the
street railway conductor. nor has il
any likeness to telegraphers' cramp or
writer's Cramp.
1t IS just an ailment of the arms,
manifested in sore ness of the Shout
ders and joints of the arm, and while
not particularly serious, is rather bOtn-
ersome.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
STOCKS IN GOOD DEMAND. Favorable European Advices Have
 Healthy Effect on Market.

New York, March 2S-The upturn ir the stock market, cut short by the floods, after making considerable head way, was resumed today. Prices rose smartly in all quarters, such impor- tant stocks as Reading, Union Pacific and Afnalgamated Copper gaining two points or more. It was felt that the worst had been told of the flood disas- ter, and there was a disposition to dis miss it as an active market factor. The factors effective earlier in the week. which were overshadowed tenn porarily by the flood, reasserted them selves, and stocks of all classes were ia good demand. Heavy buying orders were executed in some of the leading stocks.
 The increased demand was attrib- uted largely to the tenor of European sdvices of a definite improvement in the outlook abroad It was felt that this market had not registered the normal effect of the weeks war news indicating that peace was near. and of relaxation of the money strain abroad, owing to the repressing domestic in fuences. London bought moderately here, chiefly Canadian Pacific and the copper stocks. In this market the de- r7And came largely from the shorts. although the breadth and sustained strength of the market indicated that absorption Of stocks was in progress in a quiet way.
 The copper stocks were helped by the improving tendency of the metal market. Exports for the month to date are the largest eh record, and strong monthly statement is looked fer,
 Another favorable bank statement is indicated for tomorrow, Preliminary estimates. based On known movements of currency, pointed to a cash gain of e7.500, 900.

M'MAHoNs MAKE OFFER.
Try to Arrange Bout Between Gum
 boat Smith and McCarty.


 Jess and Eddie McMahon, man agers of the Empire, St. Nicholas and Olympic Athletic clubs, of New York are trying to arrange a ten round bout between Gunboat Smith, the con- quercr of Bonn mbardfer Wells, and Isu- ther McCarty. the recognized white heavyweight chmpion, at the St Nicholas Athletic club some time in May.
 Although Smith has declared time and again. particularly since he knocked out Wells. that he would like nothing so well as a match with Me Carty, he has acquired an exalted idea of what his services are worth. He now says that he. will consent to meet AIcCarty only if. there is an equal di- vision of the purse.
 The stand taken by Smith may pre- vent the meeting, for McCarty, recog- nized as champion, has demanded what amounts to little less than a kings ransom for donning the gloves. While the McMahon brothers did not make public just the sum asked for by McCarty, they remarked that Mo Carty refused $10,00O to box Wells, but later agreed to meet him for that sum- and he thinks Smith the more dangerous of the two"
 There Is little or no chance of the McMahon brothers giving McCarty the they yield to his demands there Is slim if any possibility of Smith getting any thing like s10,O00 for thirty min uets or less boxing. It is the consen- sus. however, that both Billy McCar- neY, who guides the destinies of Mc Carty, and the one and only Jim Buckley will come to an agreement.
 The bout would certainly be one of the most attractive of the season, and would draw a crowd which would pack the St. Nicholas club to the >rafters. The rise of McCarty to the topmost round of the heavyweight ladder has been little short of meteoriC. Smith has been boxing for a. greater length of time than McCarty and has come along more slowly

 While it is hoped that the injury to John Henry's knee is but slight as is supposed, there is no denying the fact that the big catcher's mishap has been | a source of much worry to Griffith.

The practical assurance of another Oxford Cambridge and Harvard track and field contest this year has given great satisfaction in varsity athletic circles in London, according to d New York Times London dis patch. The Oxford and Cambridge committees will almost immediately consider the Americans invitation and it's acceptance is taken as being almost certain.
 It is understood that Alec Nelson, Cambridge Athletic club trainer, will be selected to accompany the com bined team English athletes be- neve that while the Americans ae able to put exceptionally strong men on the field, Oxford and Cambridge have rarely, if ever had the chance of sending such good representatives for all ten events on the programme. and the fifth meeting of the four uni versailles will consequently be specially interesting.
