only must the eye be of unusual pow CT, but it must also be working in perfect conjunction with the rest of the body.
 Magee. Cravath. Luderus and Becker are gifted with unusual eyesight- Their judgment of distance is nearly perfect and they can follow the fast ones with accuracy as they come to the plate.
 There is another factor to be con- sidered. No successful slugger relies on his eyes and muscles alone. He must be able to outguess a pitcher a good part of the time. He must have some idea what the man in front of him is thinking about and be ready for the kind of a ball that he is about to offer Few home runs have been made with blind swings.
 Of the four men, Cravath is per haps the best at outguessing a pitch CT. The big Californian is a thinker, he makes study of the pitchers and 1t is a battle of wits every time he comes to the plate. Luderus, Magee and Becker are also figuring all the time when up at the plate.
 The question is about answered because of the presence of Cravath, Magee, Luderus and Becker.
 The difference in their styles is an interesting topic Cravath and Becker bat entirely different from Luderus and Magee. The former pair swing full and a golfer would sey they fol low their stroke through" Magee and Luderus start their swing later than the other two and whip the bat around. When the ball is struck the bat stops.

schuIte's Doubt Won the Game.

Chicago, July 15.-FTank Schlute's long double against the fence in right center today was the climax of an exciting ninth inning rally which re- suited in to victory for Chicago over New York. By winning the To- calls obtained an even break on the series and prevented the Giants from increasing the lead of 1-2 games which separated the teams prior to the series.
 Chicago went into the ninth inning two runs behind New York. Will jams batted for Smith and drove a swife grounder to third, the ball stick ing under the bag. Johnson was sent in to run for Williams. Leach beat bunt out Good, who had touched Tesreau for three of the locals hits struck out. Safer laid down a roller toward Merkle and in foot race with the first baseman got the decision. Zimmerman walked and Johnson scored. Schulte had two strikes on him when he drove the ball to the fence, sending Leach and Sair home with the tieing and winning runs. Smith outpitched Tesreau. Poor sup port helped the visitors in the third inning when they scored three runs. Tn the ninth two singles and stolen base netted a run. Score:

WATERBURY BALL CLUB MAY BE TRANSFERRED
Norwich Has Been Suggested-Secre-
 tary Murphy Denies 1t.

There was a report circulated in Waterbury to the effect that the man. agement of the Waterbury baseball club intended to transfer the team to Norwich. This was denied by Secre- tary William Murphy, who explained how the report started
 Several of the boys on the cluo," he said, have suggested that the team be transferred to Norwich, so that they could be near the league leaders, New London. 1 haven't given the thing the slightest thought. I sup pose someone heard the boys say that and spread the report that we were to go there.'
 here towards other cities in the cir cult. MT. Murphy replied that the at tendance here was less than anywhere else in the league.
 He was asked whether Waterbury had smaller crowds than New Britain, and replied that, according to all re- ports. New Britain, the team that holds down eighth place. draws more each day than Waterbury
 If the transfer is thought of. the grounds would not be the only Ques- ton that confronts the promoters. After so many years without league ball in this city, the fans ought to be eager to support a first class ball team. but it is felt they will not recip- rocate. Taking the game last Sunday at the Falls between the All Stars and the Sachems as an example, there was . good attendance, but. the smallness of the collection was surprising The collection was just large enough to Day barely the expenses of one team.

MARKET UNSETTLED.
New Haven, Most Active Stock, De-

New York, July 15.-Unsettlement which at times verged upon demoral- 1zation overlook today's stock market New Haven was again the storm cen- ter. declining 34 points on steady offerings, individually small but in the aggregate large enough to make that stock the most active of the day.
 The nature of the selling and the fact that much of 1t emanated from Boston and other New England points suggested liquidation on the part of small shareholders who had become findings of the Interstate Commerce. commission. New Haven sizes drop ped 1-2 points and the 1-2s of the New York. Westchester and Boston, under New Haven's guarantee, were again weak with a loss Of two points.
 Virtually the only issue that mani fested pronounced resistance in the course of the feverish session was Union Pacific, which made substan- tial initial gain on the decision of the court upholding the disbursement of the "extra dividend to common shareholders. For the same reason Baltimore and Ohio common and pre- ferred, which constitute the great bulk of the Union Pacific dividend, were weak.
 Canadian Pacific was again under the fire of foreign selling, declining to it's lowest price in many years. This stock and other of the market lead CTS were sold, by London and the continent to the extent of about 40,- 900 shares
 It was not until the latter part of the day that the general recession set in, beginning with the New York Central, which abruptly declined on what appeared to be bear selling. That stock also recorded its lowest price in years.
 The bond market naturally reflect ed the weakness in stocks, with new low records of a few of the specula- tive issues. Total sales, par value, $2025, ,0o0
