or Charles Albert Bender, 1t is a joke TO
consider such a proposition.
If Rudolph. Tyler and James were being
abstractly compared with Bender ana
Plank. it would be enough to say. IL
that conclusion were reached. that the
Braves trio were considerably inferior
to the Athletics pair. But that is not
sufficient in the present case
This brings up the following point:
Granting that the fielding OF the Braves
md Athletics is going to be equal. which
we by no means grant the Athletics
have big edge" on the Boston club
because of their superior hitting ability.
IL this is true. which we believe even
the most ardent Brave rootcr will admit.
the pitching dependables of George Stall
ings will have to be far better than Ben
der and Plank to get away with as good
a game as the Athletics duo
This in turn means that the hurlers who
face the Athletics in the coming series
have far harder fight on their hands
than they have before encountered, and If
two out of three go through a full game
beaten or victorious, it will be a great
surprise as well as an actual or moral
triumph, whichever the case may be.
Summed up, disreEardinS the element of
luck which may play an important part
In so short a series, Bender and Plank
have an edge" on the Braves hurlers
which is nearly as great as they had
over the Giants last season.

pitchers along with their major league
records, scored on the basis of games

BUYS TWO SHORTSTOPS
Cooley Fills Inffeld Too-Potts and
McGrath Leave.

Dick Cooley has obtained two short
stops and has released on outfielder
and q pitcher. Friday, he was sue
cessful in persuading George Tebeau
Of the Kansas City Blues to send Monte
Pfeffer. a shortstop. Last night he re-
ceived q message from Americas. Ga.
that his offer for Shortstop Bowman
had been accepted.
These two shortstops, will permit
Tallion to return to the outfield and
Cochran to third base. Infielder Pfef-
fer played today in the double header
and Infielder Bowman il on the way.
Infielder Pfeffer belongs to the Phil
adelphia American league club and has
been playing with the Kansas City
Blues. subject to recall He started
the season like a flash but IN injury
put him out of the game.
Pfeffer played thirty games with the
Blues and was regarded as . sensation
in the shortfield. He was a star in
and batted ESQ in 1875 games. He
fielded $40.
Infielder Bowman il said to be just
about ready to break into the big
leagues. according to Jack Doyle, scout
OF the Chicago White Sox who was
here recently. Doyle hesitated about
recommending him to the White Sox.
Outfielder Jimmie Potts has been
released. With Wakefield going good
and naturally faster and better field
er and with two new shortstops in the
lineup. Tallion will return to the out
field and Cooley will have NO use for
Potts.
One Of the most regrettable affairs Is
the release Of Pitcher Barney McGrAth.
Barney has everything in his rep0F-
toire but control He will have no trou-
BILE in getting q job. and realizing con-
dftions. Cooley released him outright
that he might catch on with any club
he selected. Jack Holland recently
wanted AcGrath, but the latter refused

Market Summary.

New York, July 1.-THE new fiscal
year opened with sentiment somewhat
encouraging but with no appreciable
increase Of business. Financial circles
found considerable comfort in the con-
ference between President Wilson and
the representative OF an important
banking interest, coupled as 1t was,
with the belief that it presages a closer
understanding between the administra-
ton and the big business Of the coun-
try.
There were a few faint echoes Of the
C1aflin failure. but that disaster, 1t is
believed. will not extend beyond the
interests directly concerned. In fact,
signs Of a rewakening Of general mer-
camille business are seen in various Sec
tons of the country. especially in the
west and southwest.
The large distribution of interest and
dividend payments was followed by
some activity in bonds. but investors
were still indisposed to follow thie
movement into the stock list. Delay in
the freight rate case continued to act
a strong deterrent factor, which even
the more alluring crop prospects could
not overcome.
A number Of adverse railway state
ments were submitted during the week
that Of the New York Central System
being particularly unfavorable. Re-
ownership for the Cincinnati, Hamilton
& Dayton railroad was foreshadowed
and received with the hope that it may
work to the advantage Of the Baltimore
& Ohio road.
1t is expected that the next few weeks
will bring an increased demand for
funds in connection with crop move
ments. Banks throughout the country
are in a strong position and nothing in
the nature Of a stringency Is probable.
