FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
NEW HAVEN STILL HEAVY.
Chesapeake & Ohio and Pennsylvania
 Also Under Pressure.

New York Feb. 17.-A1though Lon don sent over a lower range of prices today and then offered stocks here, the market presented 8 fairly firm front. It failed, however. to make up any of the ground lost in yesterdays decline, scarcely deviating from the preceding close Trading was light and specula- tive conditions were virtually unchang- ed. The market turned heavy toward the close, but fluctuations of the spec ulative favorites were limited to frac- tionS.
 The significant development of the day was the series of announcements of forthcoming capital issues. New York Central applied for permission to issue 70,000,00o bonds, Great Northern made known it's proposed sale of $19,- 000000 stock, and Interborough Rapid Transit sold $1Q,0o0,000 bonds. With the recently announced issue of $55,- O00,0O0 Southern Pacific convertibles, the amount of new securities arrang- ed for in the last few days runs up we'll over $150,0o0,000 The rate at which new capital is now being sought indicated that, in the judgment of many of the principal financial inter ests, the time to enter the market has arrived.
 Great Northern preferred dropped over two points on the announcement of the new stock issue. Great North ern rights" sold in the outside market at to 2 212.
 Traders felt today that the import ance as market factor of the inter state commerce commissions further suspension of the per cent. freight increase was over emphasized yes- terday. Washington advices explain ed that, although suspension until September 12 has been ordered, 1t did not follow that the decision would be delayed until that time. and that, in fact, the ruling might be made in May or June. This better understanding Of the commissions action helped to steady railroad stocks today. Heavi- ness of few isolated stocks held back the general list. New Haven, Chesa- peake & Ohio and Pennsylvania were under pressure.
 Bonds were irregular, with an easier tendency. Total sales,> par value, $2,- e30000.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

SOLDIERS OUTLAY. THE INDIANS
Indians Outclassed Indoor BasebaPulen Played Star Game Behind the Bat-Indians Claim the Umpiring Poor-The Score Was B to 2s.

> The soldiers outclassed the Indians Tuesday night at indoor baseball in the local armory by the score of 53 to 2S. The week previous the Indians did the trick, so this makes a rubber be- tween the two teams. Nichols pitch ing was a myth to the Indians. He kept the hits well scattered. The sol diers earned their name as Coast Ar tillery. for they hammered the ball pretty hard and frequent. In the sixth inning they had an all around batting bee. Simeox on the initial sack saved many wild throws by his skill. Pullen played behind the bat in big league style, nabbing men at second frequent ly. Through his good backstop work the soldiers were cut off quite a good deal from scoring. Kumff and Camp bell were trying to outdo each other in sensational catches off the balcony. The Indians claimed that such de- feat may be placed somewhat in the fault ot the umpires. for they received the small end of the stick in the de cisions. The Indians didn't like the addition of two men in the soldiers lineup that did not appear in lineup of last week.
 The lineups:
 Indians-Pullen c, Hiscox D, Sargent 1b, Gebrath ss, Gregson 2h, Standish ss, Robinson 3b, Sevin If, Campbell If. Soldiers-Nichols p, Kleindient c, Simcox 1b, Mulholland 2b, Cormier Sb, Malchas ss, Trelas ss, Kumff If, Van lf

~ BOXING MAKES MANLY MEN.
The Sport Develops Boys Says the
 Schenectady Gazette.

In France, Italy, Russia and several other European countries every healthy young fellow who can afford 1t takes up fencing for the sake of the exercise it gives him, for his good health and for proper development of his body, to make his figure erect and graceful. These young fellows have no idea at any time of fighting with swords nor Of ever becoming duelists or killing anyone with a rapier, yet they always have the feeling that should they hap pen to be attacked they could protect themselves if they were armed with a cane or umbrella.
 Boxing exercises every muscle of the body, it makes the lungs fill out gives gracefulness and agility to the body, encourages quick thinking, de- velops the eye, teaches the young ath- lete to keep cool and not get excited or lose his temper. It is not & rough or brutal exercise, and no man who ever learns to box thoroughly Is ever brutal or rough hammered. Hence 1t is hard to understand why today, when professional boxing exhibitions are so popular as an entertainment that so few men and boys are taking up box ing as an exercise
 Way back in the days of fights with bare fists on the turf boxing was appreciated, and the clever boxer. all other things equal, was the winner in the long run in the ring battles. Even today the boxers are the men who make the big money in the ring. Take Packey Mcfarland, Willie Ritchie, Mike Gibbons, Johnny Kilbane and others of that calibre: they are the big money makers, while the sluggers, the men who seem to excite the crowds when they stand up ana swap punches, rarely get big money for their work, and soon drop out of sight. The boy who learns to box will get lot of fun out of the experience; he will never become rough or overbearing. for he will always respect the punch ing powers of the other fellow. The man who learns to defend himself with natures weapons will always feel that if attacked he can defend him. self for a little while anyhow, even against heavier and stronger men. Even in the ring there can often be found cases where a mans skill will enable him to not only defend himself against odds, but win decisively.-- Schenectady Gazette

BASEBALL PAVED BEFORE
 THE AUSTRALIANS.
Players In Uniform Resembles Artic Explorers and Makes Them Look Bulky.

Evidently the great national game of baseball isn't to become a popular sport in Australia, even through the efforts of the worlds touring Giants and White SoX. Just what the Aus tralians think of our pastime comes to light through a copy of the Age, Melbourne newspaper. Suffice it to say that the clipping contains some rich and rare reading. Glance over 1t and form your own opinion:-
 ITO see an American baseball team taking the field is to be vastly inn prest at the outset Naturally, There are nine men a side. and the New Workers, as they stept onto the ground looked a formidable and rather fearsome contingent. In size they are above the average; one or two of them would easily turn the scale at fourteen stone" Fred Merkle can't seem to get away with anything. They add to their bulky appearance by wearing loose and baggy garments surInounted by white hats pulled well down over their eyes. It is hard to say which they most resembles band of Artic expoFers. braced for march due south, or a contingent Of prize fighters getting ready for the ring. The man who acts as catcher is fear fully wonderfully arrayed against all possible mischance of the game. He carries a heavy glove in one hand; he had his legs incaSed in pads of considerable size and thickness. and he wears around his body a sort of leather buckler that would be- fair protection against Macedonian pha- 1anx. One would not be surprized to see him mount a charge and gahop three times around the ground, defy ing all and sundry to moral combat.
 ITO say that baseball is very much like rounders-that juvenile game which the young Australian plays with his sister until he reaches a cer- tain age

 SI was running exhibitions at the Barnum Bailey and Hutchinson cir GUS in Madison Square Garden, in com- pany with Steve Farrell, Piper Oono- van, Tom Boroughs and others, when one day Frank Dolan, 6 Newark sa- loonkeeper, called on me and asked me to come over to Newark and run 100 yard race against a local runner. Thinking it a soft snap, l went over to Newark. and we ran the race on the old cinderpath at Kearney, and, to my surprise, was beaten by about two yards by the "easy mark" who turn ed out to be Tom Kerr, a noted Scotch runner, who had recently landed and was working as a ringer. As l was entering the dressing room after the race Dolan came up behind me and fired, the bullet entering my back. l felt a sharp sting and fell, knowing nothing more until I regained my senses in the hospital. It was told l had no chance to live. but I made up my mind that I was not going to croa.k just then. and. to the surprise of the doctors, after a hard fight l be gan to improve. When I was able to walk around the yard. Dolan, who was in jail awaiting trial, sent a friend to me with an offer of $1.000 and ticket to my home in Wisconsin if l would escape and not appear against him. accepted the offer. and the followine day a cab stopped at the gate of the hospital. into which I was assisted and we were driven rapidly to the Pennsylvania railroad station just in time to catch a train for the west. arrived home in fairly good condition, and on July 4 got second money at the 100 yard championship of Amer ica, which was held that year in Chi cago. A short time later I came east and was ready to meet anyone.
 I knew the story to berue, as l was in New York with the Xavier club when the shooting occurred. The dai- ly papers contained articles daily on the noted runners fight for life, and his eventual triumph over Death.
