FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
GENERAL ADVANCE IN sTocks.a a Movement Embraced all the Leading
 Stocks and Many of the Miners.

New York, July 21-For the first time in more than a week a fairly general advance in stocks was witness ed today The movement, which was made largely at the expense of a formidable bear faction, embraced all the potential leaders as well as many minor stocks and other issues which recently were under heavy pressure.
 Prices at the outset were down, some very substantial declines following the close of the London market, where Americans were yariably lower. Bal timore and Ohios, Fries and Wheeling and Lake Fries, as well as Colorado Southern End preferred Rock Island collaterals and New Haven 1-2s were among the securities that fell to new levels. The loss of Baltimore and Ohio was two points New Haven softened on Washington dispatches de- claring it to be the intention of the administration to proceed with its dis solution suit
 Before midday the market swung around on rumors of an early an- nouncement of the eastern freight de- cieion and hurried retreat of the un- w1efdly short interest followed. Gains of one to two points were recorded in less than an hours time, with the ex- tensive trading in United States Steel which was attended by circumstantial reports that the second quarterly statement or earnings, to D0 1SSueO next week, would vastly exceed the first quarters exhibit
 Crop news also contributed its share towards the days betterment, all the adyices bearing upon this situation, except in 8 few isolated instances. be- ing the most hopeful character. Can adfan Pacific's rally doubtless was accelerated by the higher wheat av- craze reported from virtually all inn portant agricultural centers in the Do- n1inion.
 Foreign exchange made another smart advance, it's strength being at tributed to political conditions on the continent Of the $4. 500 900 South Af- rican gold delivered in London. g little more than one third was diverted to Paris and India
 Bonds steadied after early indeci- sion, due to weakness in New Haven and a few other issues. Denver and Rio Grande refunding 5's advanced 1 1-2 per cent. Total sales, par value amounted to s1.35o, 900.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Big siss Single Won the Game.

Cincinnati, July 21-With two men on the bases in the thirteenth inning Mathewson drove out a single which brought in the run that won the game from Cincinnati today, to 5. In that inning, Fletcher, the first man up, doubled. He was advanced to third on a sacrifice by Merkle. On Meyers grounder Fletcher was rundown be- tween third and the home plate. Piez then ran for Meyers. Piez went to second when Grant was given a base on balls, and scored when Mathewson singled to centerfeld.
 Demaree, who started the game for New York lasted until the sixth inning when Cincinnati made five hits good for three runs. Fromme, who sue ceeded Demaree, pitched two innings and did not allow a hit. Mathewson then went into the box and succeeded in retiring the Cincinnati batsmen in one, two, three order for the rest of the game. Benton pitched fairly we'll up to the eigth inning when he weak ened and Ne wYork tied the score.

KRAFT CASE HAS BFEq SET LED
Organized Ball Submits the Claims of Players Fraternity Newark Club oicials Paid 800 Nashville in Settle August Hermann Says Futz's Methods Those of Walking Delegate.

tIement in the kra1t case. said to-
 night:
 There is more behind this than is
 apparent now. It is very strange that
 F'ultz should take occasion to threat
 en a strike at this time. He has had
 many opportunities to~ construe the
 meaning of section nine, which re-
 lates to the drafting of class A play
 CTS before this and has always held to my interpretation of it. Now that
 another league has started he has an-
 other interpretation of the clause.
 .T'uftz's methods are those of
 walking delegate. Some time ago I had a misunderstanding with Fultz re- garding the qualification of players who went to the Federal league. I conferred with him and other major league men in New York hotel He told me then. in the presence of a
 dozen witnesses, that a player who became a member of a league other than protected league was automat-
 ically suspended from the players fra i ternity. I asked him what he meant by protected league and he said
 any league protected by organized baseball.
 .sThe next day after the result of this conference became public, my yer | sion was denied in the papers and went to see him again. When@I asked him about the printed statements that had misquoted him he told me he i had said nothing and that my con struction of the situation was correct. | I was not satisfied with this, however, and when I returned home I wrote l him a letter going over the points l carefully and asking a reply in writ i ing. This I received and have on l file and the letter says in substance | that my version is correct"
 Thinks Players Would Not Strike. 1 John J. McGraw, manager of the | New York National league club, while 1 discussing the proposed strike late to- day said:
 T would rather have seen the mat i ter put through as planned just to see | if the players would go on a strike. I believe Kraft's claim was all right, 1 but the news of the settlement of the case is not especially pleasing, because I preferred to see what the players I would really do. I would like to see l a precedent so we would have an idea
 of how the players stand in this mat ter. My personal opinion is that the players would not have struck. I think the bulk of our men would have re- mained loyal and that throughout the league there would not be more than ten or fifteen per cent of the players l who would strike. When the ball park is closed there is no income for the players-and the players do not relish | that condition very much.

New York, Judy 21.-The Baseball Players Fraternity won a victory here today and @ threatened strike of Ma tional and American league players. members of the fraternity, was avert ed when the case of Player Clarence O. Kraft was settled to the satisfac-s ton of the players organization and in accordance with its demands. The incident is considered closed by both the big league magnates and the play CTS.
 Ebbets to the Rescue.
 It was Charles H. Ebbets, president of the Brooklyn National league club, who stepped into the breach and brought about peace when it appear ed that organized baseball was about to be disrupted by struggle between club owners and players Ebbets an nounced the settlement of the case at a meeting of the American league rep resentatiyes who were in secret ses- sion preparing either to prevent the strike or retaliate upon the fraternity for it's strike order. which was to have gone into effect tomorrow morning. Ebbets who is also stockholder in the Newark International league club, announced that the Newark club off, cials had paid the Nashville club of the Southern association $2,500 in set clement of Nashville's claims on Kraft and that Kraft would play with New
  In addition, the Newark club agreed, to observe all the stipulations of Kraft's contract as originally in force before he was ordered to go to Nash vile by the national commission, be- sides paying him five weeks back sal- suspension for not reporting to the Nashville club
 No Ten Days Notice or Release Clause ir Con&r,rf
 Kraft's contract with Newark calls for a salary of $450 per month, and both the ten days notice of release clause and the disability clause were stricken out before the document was signed. The Nashville club received s1, 500 for it's release of claims on Kraft and $1 900 in addition as a bonus for accepting the Newark clubs terms. Under the Newark contract Kraft re- ceived $150 more per month than he would as a Nashville player which was the crucial point in the contro- versy, the fraternity contending that the played could not be shunted from ! a class A league to a closs A organ ization with subsequent reduction in 1 salary in the manner prescribed by the 1 national commission
 Ebbets denied that any pressure had | been brought to bear upon him or the officers of the Newark club in making ] tIle Qedl WHICH CledTcQ away IlS DdSo- | ball war clouds. He said that as 8 stockholder in both the Brooklyn and ! Newark clubs. he had taken the ir.itia- | tive in the matter without being in- f1uenced by either the National ol l American league magnates. This l statement was borne out so far as the American league officials were I concerned, by the fact that the secret | meeting broke up within short time after Ebbets made his announcement
 and those present appeared to be
 eager to learn the details of the set. tlement.
