THE GOOD INDIAN PRAYER.

Powers that be make me sufficient to
my own occasions.
Teach me to know and to observe the
Rules of the Game.
Give to me to mind my own business
at all times and to lose no good
opportunity of holding my tongue.
When it is appointed for me to suffer,
let me so far as may humanity be
possible take example from the
dear we'll bred beasts, and go
away quietly to bear my suffering
by myself.
Help me to win if win | may; but
and this o Powers, especially
IL may not win make me a good
loser Amen.

JOE JAcksoNs RISE.
From the Butcher Shop Game Premier
 Eastman of American League.

Joe Jackson, the hard hitting out nelder of the Cleveland Maps, who led the American league in batting for the 70 games he played in his inaugu- raI season of 1910, and was second only to Iy Cobb in 1911 and 1912, was shunted toward professional career as player by burst of southern temper when r years old.
 As a member of the Greenville CS @ Changers who won 30 straight games in one season Jackson got some experience of lasting value. But a row With an opponent who spiked him got police court attention and Joe retired to his fathers butcher shop for the latter part of 1908 and during 1907
 Alter season of strict adherence to the butchering business during 1907 Joe was quite ready to listen to the plea of Manager Thomas Stouch of Greenville, then in the South Caro- Ina league to sign a contract for the season of 1903. Jackson led the league in batting with a mark of .346.
 Connie Mack of the Athletics not only has long legs. but long ears when 1t comes to hearing of promising young players, and Joe joined the Athletics that fall. He was given a trial in the outfield.
 long fly, lost in the sun and play ed poorly, struck him on the chest, and he was removed from the game The jibes Of the bleachers and homesick- ness caused him to desert the club The story always was spread that he was afraid of high buildings
 At any rate. it is one of the strange happenings of baseball that the team which Jackson deserted is the one with which his present club has been disputing the top place in the pennant race for the early weeks of 1913 sea- son.
 When Connie Mack located the player who had run out" on him he far1ned him to Savannah and in 1910 released him outright to New Orleans. When with Savannah. in the South Atlantic league in 1909 Jackson topped all the siuggers with .35S. With New Orleans in 1910 he led the league with .S54.
 Through three successive seasons he led three different minor leagues in batting. Then he stepped into the majors and played 20 games with Cleveland in the fall of 1910. batting 1887.
 This was two more paints than Cobb and Larry Lajoie, who were concern ed in the batting rivalry which caused the scandal at Manager Jack O'Con- nor, who a few ago secured a verdict against the St. Louis club for being fixed
 Predictions were freely made that the youngster was hitting over his head.' But with the introduction of the lively ball in 1911 he proved that he had been hitting under his head by clouting .408 against APO of Ty Cobb. Last year he kept up the merry clip with 1895 to Ty Cobb's 40
 Jackson's speed makes him a dan gerous man on the bases, although his keen eye and strength with which he propels his big bludgeon earn him more fame than his reputation as a finished base stealer

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
IRREGULAR MOVEMENT.
Many Important Stocks Record Loss
 es During the Day.

New York, July 17I-The net re- suit of today's trading in stocks so far as changes in the level of prices were concerned, was small. It was market would not hold to the pace set yesterday, when quotations rose sharply in all quarters. First figures were lower. A recovery was soon eff fected, but the movement through out the day was irregular. and the close found many of the important stocks showing small losses.
 It was inferred from the markets s action that yesterdays advance was chiefly the result of short covering, which resulted in a weakening of the technical position Stocks were well taken at concessions sbut there was a falling off in the demand. and buyers were unwilling to follow the market upward. F1uctu & ions apparently bore little relation to developments of the day, which had but slight bearing on stock market values. Unexpected complications in the negotiations be- tween eastern railroads and their en- ployes, arising from the determination of the railway managers to present demands of their own to the arbitra- tors, may have exercised some senti- mental influence. More important was the reaction in London and the de- cline in American stocks there. This was followed by London selling here, principally of Canadian Pacific, Steel and Union Pacific. Berlin sold Can adian Pacific here direct.
 The petroleum shares were excep- tionally weak, California Petroleum sold down five points to 23 3-4 and l the preferred dropped six points to 52. Mexican Petroleum at 57 1-2 showed a loss of IA. One explana- tion given of the weakness of these shares was that the closing out of loans by a local bank had necessi- tated selling of Petroleum stocks which had been put up as collateral. With. the approach of the crop nov ing season with its heavy demand for money, it was pointed out banks will be compelled to draw tighter lines in regard to extending credit on stock exchange collateral.
 Bonds were steady. Total sales. par value, $1,337,000
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

MARRIED STAR FORGIVEN.
Wesleyan Will Receive .EIopSng Mir.
 Diamond Back to Its Bosom.

The romantic marriage of Glenn K. Diamond of Cherry Valley, N. Y, the Wesleyan football star, whose elope- ment with May Williams, a pretty 1S-year- old telpehone operator from Meriden, a few months ago set the whole college community by the ears, will not interfere with the athletes college course, according to an an notrncement made by President Will liam Arnold Shanklin. This breaks long established precedent in the foot ball mans favor.
 Diamond will be junior in the fall and has for two seasons afternated at end and halfbac1 on the varsity foot ball team. He has likewise played two years on the baseball team. His mar riage to Miss Williams took place last spring, but did not become public until a week before college closed in June. Diamond remained in town after the close of the examination period and finally made his peace with the college authorities.
 His bride is staying at her parents home for the present.

Norwich Sailor Boy Writes Battle
 Story.

Finding some spare time on his hands
 one day while serving his enlistm nt
 of a year on the Ithaca, Henry Klein

 completed his term there, wrote the following narrative, with the help of a friend, Clifford Wells, using the names
 of brands of tobacco and cigarettes: When I was in the battle of Bull Durham and the Dukes had a Mixture
 by the Old Mill, the Recruits dashed in, headed by the Union Leader then fled to the Piedmont region, where they captured little Fatima. But they could not hold Helmar, but as they rounded Old English Curve Cut they met the Sovereigns passing Pail Mall on the way to Egyptian Luxury. Upon their arrival they were held captives by Sweet Caporal when the U. $. Marine sent Old Honesty to the front, but Cut Plug and B. l.. were waiting with Snaps and the Stag was full of Velvet, when the StogleS were falling one by one. They were driven to retreat by Prince Albert, which caused the great Sensation, and the Army lived on Piper Heidsieck. Just then q new rebellion broke out on the Mecca islands, and with the troopers from Omar and Has, sam we made Lucky Strike. Just then little Zubelda rushed to the res- cue with George Washington in the lead. and drove bills back with Perfec- tion. The Cycles retreated through the Egyptian Straights to Tokio, where they were met by the American Beau ties and Old Liberty was full of Scraps. But Little Sub Rosa fought the Royal BengaIs like Tigers Between the Acts. A new company was formed of Old Virginia Cheroots and F1oridoras near the Hoffman House by the Central Un- ion, with King Bee and Big Four as generals. But they were too much for the London Sports and carried away the Turkish Trophies. But there was pIucky little Carl Morris fighting against the Twelve Nights to save Tol- stoi and Milo. And the war came to a sudden stop when Uncle Sam came up with his Standard Navy.

How far pitching records show the ability of a pitcher has long been mooted question among baseball sta aisticians. Were Walter Johnson with the Athletics-a much finer club than the Senators-his record would prob ably be better. for it is probably now conceded by most fans that he is the greatest pitcher in the country. There are other first-class pitchers not in the select six to date, among them Alex ander of Philadelphia, Fucker of Q Brooklyn and Walsh of the White Sox.
