FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS IRREGULAR.
Prices Moved Within a Narrow Groove
 Yesterday.

New York, July Especial influences were again effective in keeping the stock market within narrow and ir- regular groove today. Foreign and domestic news was the usual mixture of favorable and unfayorable happen ings, the former converging largely around crop conditions. The govern ment report estimated this years cot ton area at substantially %,000,0 900 acres. Condition of the growing staple is vastly better than that reported a month ago, but somewhat under the corresponding period last year
 Several prominent railroad execu- tives were quoted as expressing con- hdence in the future but their utter ances were out of tune with May larger roads. New York CentraPs sys- tenn reported a net decrease of 3D. 367,000, the Pennsylvania lines lost over s700,000 and Rock Islands oper- ating income fell off over s600,00 New York Central was the weakest of the stocks in it's particular class and New Haven declined two points to within a fraction of its low record. Default of interest on various bond issues of the Cincinnati. Hamilton and Dayton railway, St. Louis and San Francisco railway and Rock Island company was announced
 London sold Americans at home and later here disposing of several thou sand shares, mainly United States Steel, Amalgamated Copper and Union Pacific.
 Another decline in exchange, fol- lowed by a speedy recovery suggested revival of gold exports. Further large cash transfers to the Pacific coast were made. Local money rates were undisturbed by the shifting of loans resulting from heavy mid-year inter ests and dividend payments. Railroad bonds were irregular, with sharp variations in Rock Island and related issues. Frisco refunding fours and Chicago and Eastern Illinois re- funding fours. on which interest was defaulted, advanced one and 1-2 points, respectively. Mexican govern ment Ps declined 2 3-4 Total bond o00
 U. s. government bonds were un- changed on call.

CRIMSON CREW COULDN'T
 PULL HIGHER STROKE
Harvard Bulletin Says Would Be Inn possible to Keep Crew Together.

The Harvard Alumni Bulletin ex- plains the low stroke that Harvard maintained at New London when rowing against Yale on the ground that it was found impossible to keep the crew together at a higher stroke than was rowed. It is true, the Bull letin says, that the stroke was at, or below thirty, most of the time, and also that the plan had been to row that the Yale crew, in order to keep up with Harvard, would be forced above it's natural and best pace and thus disorganized. But the Harvard captain and stroke oar found soon after the race began than it was prac- tically impossible to keep the men together even at 32 or whereabouts, and consequently that the crew went much better at a slow stroke than at high one
 The fundamental trouble with the lay, it is believed, in the manner in which 1t was developed. The policy for several years has been to teach the crew to row very high stroke, thirty-flve or thirty-six to the minute for the earlier races of the season, in cluding the Cornell race which comes late in May, and the min, a period of three weeks or whereabouts, to change radically the kind of stroke rowed.
 This method has been gen orally successful in the past seven or eight years, but 1t failed this year either because the Harvard men did not wholly forget what they had been taught earlier in the season, or be- cause the Yale crew was faster than in other years or as the result of a coincidence of both these causes"

A Trade Might Be Only Way to Keep
 the Tiger Star in Organized Ball.

President Frank J. Farrell of the New York Americans could not be found in his usual haunts when looked for which gave rise to a rumor that he had left town to negotiate an inn portant trade. For many weeks the owner of the New Yorks has been try ing desperately to land a couple of hitters, but none of his rivals would listen to any terms even for their util- ity material.
 Gossip connected MT. Farrell with an attempt to wean Ty Cobb from Hughie Jennings. Two weeks ago million dollars would not have bought the Georgia Peach's delease from De- troit That club might as well have locked its gates as to dispose of the batting king. A change in conditions has resulted, however from Tvs re- cent escapade in which he assaulted a butcher and broke his hand in the process.

FIELD DAY AT STATE HOSPITAL

MOTION WILL BE MADE
 TO VAcATE INJUNCTION.
Hal Chase Has Affidavit of Thirty Pages to Show That He Was a Free Agent

Buffalo. N. Y. July IA motion will be made in supreme court here on
 nday for an order vacating the in Junction granted on June 20 restraining Hal Chase. the former Chicago Ameri- car league first basenan, from playing with the Buffalo Federal league club.
 Notice of the motion and Chase's affidavit in answer to the complaint of the Chicago American league club were filed in the county clerks office today.
 In the affidavit. which covers thirty typewriter pages, Chase seeks to show that all lis contract relations with the Chicago team were lived up to and that he was a free agent when he sought employment with the Fed eral league.

out of commission. The newspapers of that city have raked up number of former transgressions of fCobb'E in an attempt to prove to the inf1amed Populace that Cobb. like Hal Chase, has been an evil influence among his has lost great deal of his popularity as result of his latest fight. He makes no attempt to cloak the fact that he Is mortified at his position and would welcome change of scene
 It is known that Cobb has asked President Navin to trade him to some other city, but Ty has steadfastly de- clared that he had no intention of Jumping his contract with tho Tigers. It is a significant fact. however. that Cobb has been reported in conference with President James A. Gilmore of the Federal league in Buffalo. Gilmore has said for the last month that he would have this player with the out laws at the beginning of next season. The last time he was in New York Gilmore said that he had been in ne gotiation with Ty and that Ty had re- fused $10.000 to allow Detroit to scratch the ten days option of release clause from his contract.
 Detroit might be influenced to part with its most wonderful player. but only to save him to organized base ball. Such a player would benefit the Federal league more than half a dozen ordinary stars. If Cobb is serious in his flirtations with the outlaws he no doubt is in position to dictate terms to Navin. If Ty insists upon being traded he probably will be disposed of
 No one in baseball would so further for Cobb than Frank Farrell. The New York president has said this re- peatedly. Farrell, too, could go as far as any rival either in cash or players. He hasn't much to offer outside of pitchers. but he could afford to give more in this line than anyone else. Chance is well fixed in box talent
 There is no possibility that Cobb will stand in the way of his transfer to New York. He is fond of public acclaim, and in the metropolis he would find the adulation so dear to his southern temperament. Tvs big bat should go far toward remedying the existing evils of the Peerless Leaders hitless wonders

DOINGS IN THE AUTO WORD
Overheating Often Experienced by Tourists in Summer Due to Poor Lubrication-Twice Many Machines m New York in 1913 Hill Climbing is an Important Factor in Driving.

EnsIand's 600 mile tourist trophy road racing class, won recently predicates a revolution in motor car racing. Taking of second. third and fifth honors by Belgium sliding sleeve cars, probably has wrought the new era in speed contests, according to close allies of the gameA Instead of twenty five or thirty manufacturers each striving to triumph over the other, it will be poppet valve manu- lecturers and Sleeve valve makers ar rayed against one another, judged by present indications.
 The performance of the three cars shows that the sleeve motors offer the staying qualities required for cars to make good in events like the In- dianapolis speedway race.
 "When making long tours these hot summer days, trouble is often exper- fenced with overheating," said an auto tomobile distributor. The driver is at a loss to know where to look for the source of the trouble. With the pre- va1ent use of the water pump in the circulating system, oyerheating in the majority of cases is not due to poor circulation of the water. but to faulty fabrication.
 'Tt is interesting to note that the winning car at the Indianapolis 500 mile race averaged S2.4T miles per hour on two gallons of lubricating oil, while hIlOlAeE GET WHICH ALlsncu H6dT llo tail end used s5 gallons of oil. It is impossible, of course to use such a quantity of oil effectually in a motor travelling 800 miles, but the striking contrast of the conditions shown by the race indicate clearly the import ance that must be paid to the lubricat- ing system of the car.
 "The story Of fabrication Is that a film of oil separates the metallic sur faces and takes the wear. but if the oil becomes too thin, it is forced out of the bearing too readily. and the metal lie surfaces cnrf1e into intimate con- tact and are rapidly worn away. It is not enough to apply lubricant indis- criminately to the various chassis parts. It must be done systematically and logically to secure the best re- suits and insure the economical use o1 the lubricant. The engine is but one point in the car that must be properly oiled at all times. It should be a selt evident fact that a heavier oil is re- uuired in summer than in winter.

 in ascending hills than In nearly every other phase of driving. Each hill has it's own characteristics and the driver ascending it for the first time must bring into play all the knowledge gained from other hfn experiences if he wishes to make the ascent with a degree of pleasure to himself and the others in his party.
 There is @ great deal Of deception in all hills, deception which only wide experience can counteract- When ap- preaching a hill from the level the grade is minimized and often c driver vii have to shift gears and he won ders what Is wrong with his mOoor which heretofore was working perfect ly. Later in the day if the driver comes back over the same route he will be surprised at the steep descent and for the first time becomes aware of the fact that he was climbing a steep hill on the outward journey, although he was not aware of 1t, solely because he approached the. hill along a level road, and perhaps the deception was still further carried out by a few curves in the road that partially ob- cured the grade.
 On the other hand, when you come down a grade and immediately, stsrt climbing a hill, the grade is exagger- ated, you speed up to meet the steep incline and are more than agreeably surprised to find that you travel skim ming over the top of the grade, every body is happy and your car is the best hill-climber in the world. Here the deception of the hill has been respon- sible for the excellent ascent, where as in the other example this deoptfon was responsible for the poor car per forE1ance.
