FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
WALL STREET HAS "RLUEs." More Active, But Quotations
 Drop Two to Four Points.

New York, Jan. 13.-Quotations fell in a decisive way today on the stock exchange. In all departments of the list inroads were made on quoted val ues, and there were frequent losses of two to four points. The street appar- ently was suffering from the blues" Trading was more active, and the un- certain tone of the early session was changed into weakness as the day wore on. Bear operators showed more confidence in their dealings and made a number of successful drives, with the coppers, the coaIers and steel as the especial objects of attack. Steel sold down to the lowest price since last May.
 On the exchange and in customers rooms of commission houses the topic most often discussed today was the speech of President Wilson at Chicago on Saturday. His remarks upon the banking and credit system attracted wide attention and the street chose to place a bearish construction upon them. The weakness of the stock market was attributed largely to this influence upon market sentiment.
 The copper group was again g sore spot in the list. It was admitted that leading companies had cut under the long established rate of IT 3-4 cents There was another sharp break in the metal market in London. The bears hammered the copper stocks with con- siderable effect, Ama1gamatsd being heaviest of the group. Coalers also betrayed decided weakness, and among the specialties there were a large num- Der of sharp declines. Telephone stocks were under, pressure, which was asso- cfated with rumors of a governmental investigation.
 Announcement of the first step on the part of the Hartman interests in complying with the dissolution decree was of little effect, some such a move having been looked for. Union Pacific and Southern Pacific moved with the general market.
 Bonds were under pressure, with a sharp fall in some of the copper liens Total sales, par value, $2,190,00O.

BASEBALL IN PORTO RICO.
Many Clubs Thrive In West Indies-
 Want Majors to Train There.

In the course of his negotiations with major league teams, the repre- sentative of the governor of Porto Rico, who has been endeavoring to in duce the Brooklyns and the Yankees to go to Porto Rico for their prelim- mary training, disclosed some interest ing facts regarding the American game on the Island. He said: Baseball was introduced into Porto Rico by return ing college boys many years ago, but it received its chief impetus after the American invasion 14 1-2 years ago. At present there are more than 50 really good teams tllere- Every hamlet and town has it's club. The capital, San Juan, a city of 55.000. has a first class league of six clubs. Thousands attend these games and root royalty. Baseball follows the flag, and the army and navy have been largely re- sponsible for it's popularity in the Pearl of the Antilles. Many old American college baseball players have settled in Porto Rico and occupy themselves with fruit farming, coffee planting and the raising of sugar cane, The game quick thinking Latin- -Aneriean, as he glories in it's strategy. Perto Rfean players are following closely in the footsteps of their Cuban brethren. Naturally their teams are not so fast, as they have never had the advantage of competition with first class Aneri- can teams.
 "The mean temperature of Porto RICO 19 to degrees and the maximum 80 degrees in the shade. From Dec. 1 until April 1 the weather is ideal for baseball. On the northern coast, if a tropical shower should come up during the day. the sun dries the ground in a moment. At Ponce. on the southern side of the island, there is no rainfall from Dec. 1 until the following Sep tember. In the latter city, of 5o,0O0 inhabitants, there is a beautiful base- ball ground, equal to any league park in this country, so far as the playing surface is concerned, and the grand stand was given by A. J. Grief, mana ger of the Guanica S1zoar Central. It contains seating capacity for 5000 peo- pie, and there is every convenience for the players in the way of lockers, showers, etc. The ground also has tennis courts. batting cages, outside gymnasium apparatus and 8 quarter mile running track. The Ponce nlgn school baseball club has beaten every baseball team on the island time and time again, and is looking for new worlds to conquer They expect to come to the United States in the spring of 1914 to play with the local high school teams. A. G. Spa1ding has been requested to offer an inter- colonial cup for this series of games and General Wingate has promised to matches off. The New York high school boys have expressed a strong desire to tackle the Porto Rican school. The Ponce bali players belong to the best families on the Island and, so soon as they graduate, come to the United States for the purpose of at tending cOllege''

DREW LEADING SPRiNTER.
Declares Mike Murrhy, the Famous
 Trainer of the Olympic Team.

It is not very often that words Of praise for an athlete are murInured by Mike Murphy. the great trainer, unless the athlete is deserving to a high de- gree of such praise. Murphy, however, has word to say about Howard Drew, the crack colored sprinter, who was forced to quit at the OIympics. That day for 100 yards. He's one of the fastest amateur sprinters I ever saw,' says Mike.
 After DreW's breakdown in the semi final heat of the 1G0 meter dash at Stockholm, Murphy offered to back Drew against any 1G0 yard amateur in the world for S5,090 side. The occa- sion of this offer was an athletic gab- fest in the stadium one day in which some E,ng1ishInen were pointing out the superiority of Patching, the South African, over the Americans. despite the fact that Patching was unable to secure a place at Stockholm.
 closed his opinion as to which of all the great sprinters he was training was the feetest over the century route. After the games were over Mike de- clared, too, that Drew would have done a very fast 10 3-5 seconds for 100 me ters GOO yards 1s inchesl in the final heat of that race but for the break down. Drew has vindicated the great trainers judgment by winning every race he has run in since he returned from Europe-winning, among others, the national 100 yard championship.
 Drew was born in Virginia. but moved to this city when he was a lit tie shaver. His start in sports was playing football in the back lots. Drew has been a perfect w11irlwind on the football field from the first time he tucked a ptgskin under his arm for

The Stable Seanoard.

Dr. D. w. Johnson of Harvard Uni versity has made a careful saudy of the eastern coast of North America to learn whether there is reason for the general belief that the Atlantic sea board is slowly and steadily sinking. In the Annales de Geographic, Doctor Johnson says that he has found noth- ing to support the belief. He reports that after thoroughly examining the evidence, he concluded that If there had been any movement, it he'd taken place long ago. Some instances that seemed to show a sinking of the coast were merely the result of local changes in the level Of high water. For example, within a bay or lagoon that is almost cut off from the sea by a sand bar, the range of the tide will be far less than on an exposed part of the coast, and if the bar is swept away, the local high tide level will sometimes rise high enough to kill trees on the shores Of of the bay. Doctor Johnson cites many facts to prove that the level of the sea board has not changed for several thousand years.

M'ALEER's WISE METHOD.
Says Milan is Better Fielder Than Speaker, So That Latter Will Not Ask for Too Biz . Salary.

The Boston club had a lot of trouble signing Iris Speaker, it's renowned center fielder, last spring. It was only a few days before the Red Sox hit the road and started east from Hot Springs, Ark that McAleer and Speak CT came to an understanding on the salary question. Iris did not make bones over the fact that he was a thermore, he stated all along that the Boston management would give him the figure he deemed he was worth or he would hie back to his Texas home stead and lead the simple life.
 Nobody but those interested know what stipend was eventually agreed upon. However, along about April Speaker signed up. The salary was of the document named. Locally the fans cling to the opinion that Speaker signed only a one year contract The reason for that belief is because Pres recently, gave 1t out that while Speak CT was a wondrous star and Ty Cobb marvellous all round workman, Clyde Milan had the shade on both suburb antics; in fact, that said Clyde Milan was the king of the nresent day flock of outdelders. If Speaker only signed for one year last spring, there was probably method to the madness of MoAleer's Inutterings.
 It Is only natural for Speaker to be nominated the king of the fly -chasers by his own president, and skilled a workman as is Milan in the games every department, the Texan certain ly has the edge on him. To the en- thusiasts in this section of the globe either Speaker or Cobb is the monarch of the men meandering in the mead ows, with Milan, an unquestfoned star, trailing. So locally McAIeer's state ment is taken to mean that Iris sign ed only a one year contract last spring and that pretty soon the Red Sox chieftain has got to do business with his crack center fielder all over again. Hence, doesn't want Iris to come too high as to terms.

end run. He trained regularly for the track work under the direction of Coach A. B. Metzdorf of the high school and then went under the care ful eye of Mike Murphy on the Olym- pie trip last summer The tremendous improvement that he showed during the short period that he trained regu- larly for sprinting influenced Drew to pass up football for track work.
 Drew is the kind of American ath- lete that the EngIishmen term a "spe- cialist," because he starts in but one event, and yet the little colored flyer, while not Jim Thorpe, is good at al most anything. He can run the hur- dles well and has done better than five feet seven inches in the high jump and 21 feet in the broad jump. At base ball he is good also. He held down right field on the Yankee team that defeated Sweden on the Osternalms field, back of the stadium. by score of 13 to 3.

That Jim JefferieS was knocked out in sfodr rounds in a private bout with Sam Lanford a few days before his memorial battle with Jack Johnson at Reno, which was no doubt re- , sponsible for the nervous breakdown and which aided largely in his defeat, is the assertion of Jim Barry, Chicago heavyweight boxer ,at present in Ia coma.
 Barry says the impromptu- contest between JeffrieS and Langford was ranged as a sort of tryout for Jeff. The big boilermaker wanted to test his lighting strength on the eve of the big battle. It took place at his training quarters at Mona Springs and was witnessed by only half a dozen people, all of them trainers of Jeffries.
 Joe Woodman, Langford's manager, and the colored boxer himself were /only ones present outside of Jeff's own handlers. The little. affair has been kept secret all these months, only to be disclosed by Landfords s
 manager who conf1ded it to Barry.
 Barry says the tryout match was framed up d week before the Reno battle. A large room at the hotel where Jeff was stopping at Mona Springs was cleared Of it's furniture and the men went at it on the floor with no ring. B'ive-ounee gloves were used. Woodman handled and cared for Langford in the bout, while there were four men who attended, JeHries
 BOD -AIlnStfohS' Sam DetSef' 1Ah Corbett, and the former champions old friend, Dick Adams. No one else around the training quarters knew of the bout, and to this day Jefries' other trainers, Roger Cornell and Farmer Burns, did not know that it took place, so carefully was the secret guarded
 T cld not see the scrap myself. but WoodInan told me confidentially that Jeff had no chance with Langford, he far hal l<n0 out in the fourth round" says Barry. Twice in the third round Langford foored Jeffries. Jeff didn't punish sam very much. The big fellow was slow and couldn't hit well.''
 It was probably this ,as much as the great strain on the former cham pion, brought about by excessive training and other worries that caus- ed his mental collapse and made him a mark for the big black champion.

STAFF OF UMPIRES IS
 SELECTED BY O'ROURkE.
Eastern Association President Thinks 1t Will Prove Satisfactory Men Are Leary, Bedford, Curran and Me- PartIin.

After long period of silence spent in making sure of his ground, Uncle Jeems O'Rourke, popularly known as , the Eastern Association of Baseball clubs. announces the makeup of his 1918 staff of umpires for the com ing season. MT. O'Rourke, whose se- ries of offices includes that of super visor of umps, thinks that he has as fast a crowd as can be brought to- gether for indicator holding purposes.
 William Leary of Philadelphia, who has done good deal of work on Sem1- professional diamonds around Quaker town, mailed in his contract early last week and the others came in Friday night Bob Bedford. the New Yorker who made such 6 big hit because of his work at the Yale games the past few seasons, was among the first. Bedford was strongly recof11n ended to the league president Snd the latter mailed him contract some days ago,
 Once again we will have with us Pos AfePaff1in, the aggressive veteran whose defneanoF is play fast or fight Pup umpifed for q, while last season, and he made big hit with the fans and the club owners, The other urn- piPe is John Cufran of Willimantic, who was recommended by Mayor Comptroller Danny Dunn. Danny used to be quite a baseballer himself and Mir. .O'Rourke has great faith in his promises for Curran.
 There Is still another uInp to be named, to act as relief man. but the league boss has no one in mind as yet, he said. That does away with the possibility of one Dominiok Mullaney, the Savin Rock pugilist, appearing be- fore us next season unless he is signed up in midseason.
 ''AH the men I have on my list are good men, said President O'Rourke, "and I feel that they will prove to be satisfactory all season"

President O'Rourke read the new constitution and the amendments to the various sections so as to conform with the na,- tiona1 agreement. The revised conSt1- tuition will be submitted to the direc- tors of the league at the schedule meeting at the Hotel Garde in this city at 12.30 Wednesday.
