Fluctuations On Stock Exchange Were
 Without Significance.

New York Feb. 22-Business on the Stock Exchange yesterday reflected no interest. for while there was a fair amount of trading, fluctuations in the greater part of the list were wholly lacking in significance. Evening up operations by the professionals were responsible for most of the transac- tions, the fact that Monday will be a holiday tending to increase the amount of closing out of commitments that Is usual at week ends

At the close, in fact, there were only such losses from Fridays last figures as have often been recorded on quiet but reactionary Saturdays. Except in some of the industrial specialties which have lately enjoyed rapid ad- vances, the days declines averaged about s-S of 8 point. So far as Mexi- can affairs were concerned, Wall street while convinced that intervention would hardly be delayed much longer, seemed satisfied, to await the course of the administration, or at least to do nothing until 1t had q clearer vision of the probable outcome
 London sent over lower prices but the market there was influenced by the approach of the fortnightly settle ment. and the declines could be as cribed only partly to the turn in Mex ican affairs. Foreign dealings in this market were unimpOrtant

Murphy Makes Statement,

Chicago, Feb. 22-"I started in base ball with a shoestring and tonight Pm worth more than million dollars said Charles W. Murphy. who sold under pressure yesterday the controlling in terest in the Chicago National league club. i'm 8 happy man. he added, '"beeanse I haven't a thing to worry about; nobody Is calling me names and cI1tcising me, and 1t seems as if a large weight has been lifted from my shoulders
 Mir. Murphy grew serious when he was asked to tell how much Charles P. Taft gave him for the 53 per cent. of the stock of the club.
 ''I would be Violating a confidence to give the exact amount" he replied, but estimated on the basis of the price I received for my interest, the club Is worth more than 8 million dollars. A half million or so is lot of moneE, but the Cubs are worth it. Curing the time ran the club I believe it was the most prosperous organization in the league"
 Murphy reiterated that he was through with the financial end of base ball, but said he still was q lover of the game.
 "I'm going to be just plain fan and sit in the bleachers and yell at the players. roast the umpire and criticize the management he said. 'T am fla miliar with the other sdre of the game, so I'm going to have lot more fun than most of the fans.

JIM THORPE IMPRovEs.
With the World Tourists Now and Is Playing a Great Game-McGraw Says He Is a Corner.

The New York Sun says: You may tell the baseball public that we will show them a real ball player in Jim Thorpe next season. He will surprise a few people when we get on the Polo grounds next April His improvement on this trip has really been remark able.' The above is an extract from a letter sent by Johnny McGraw to Secretary Foster fthe Giants.
 McGraw further says in his letter that the aborigine is performing like regular Ty Cobb on the world s tour. He is waIIoping the pill at a 1925 clip, is fielding his position in superb fashion, and is also learning how to use his wonderful speed on the base lines.
 McGraw's tribute to the Carlisle marvel would make it appear as though John Joseph is considering Thorpe for an outfield position next season. At any rate it seems certain that Thorpe will get into more games than he did in 1913. Though Jim was a little awkward when he first report ed at Marlin last spring, McGraw al- ways had confidence in him and felt sure Thorpe would eventually win as much fame as a baseball player as he won as an all-around track athlete and a football player

A concerted move has been started among athletes of the University of Pennsylvania to secure a trainer for the football team in place of the late Mike Murphy, and while the names of many men have been mentioned that of Layson Robertson, coach of the Irish -Tmerican Athletic club of New York. seems to have met. with the greatese favor.
 No official of the University of Pennsylvania has asked me to consid- CT such an offer," declared MT Rob- ertson. Therefore it would not be wise for me to discuss the subject too freely. l will say this, however. that my contract with the Irish-American club of New York would not prevent me from accepting an offer, and that I would like to become connected with the University of PennsyIYan1a's ath- letic teams
 Several of the more prominent of PennsyiVania's athletes expressed themselves strongly in favor of Rob- ertson's coming.
