FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
AN UNCERTAIN COURSE.
Brisk Advance at Opening Checked by
 Weakness of Coalers.

New York, March 9.-The stock market pursued an uncertain course today, and closed with the level of quotations little changed. Traders shifted their position frequently and speculative sentiment was confused. Outside business was small, and mar ket movements reflected little more than professional operations.
 London sold Amalgamated, Steel Canadian Pacific and Union Pacific haps 15000 shares. This selling, to- gether with the lower quotations ca bIed from abroad, caused some ire gularity at the opening. It was ap- parent. however. that liquidation or various stocks such as upset the mar ket last week had been suspended, fact which encouraged speculative buying. St. Paul and Baltimore and Ohio, recent weak features, made good gains at the outset New Haven was advanced temporarily to a level near Iy two points higher.
 The whole market advanced briskly until weakness developed in the coal CTS. Lehigh Valley and Reading, in particular. were subjected to pressure, and under their lead the general list fell to below Saturdays close In the late session the market hardened.
 The improvement in tone of the market by comparison with the un- settlement of last week, was in- nuenceQ by the DullSn SlauSllcd1 Te- turns of the day. The copper pro ducers' statement showing a decrease in stocks of nearly 9,000,000 pounds, was considerably stronger than had been looked for. Domestic deliveries in February made only a slight inn provement but exports continued heavy. A gain in commercial activity was indicated by the fortnightly freight car report, showing 8 sharp contraction in surplus equipment.
 Some of the weak features of the market recently made further losses, Rock Island bonds sold down to new low prices. The collaterals, at the days low point of 41, showed a loss of one; the refunding As at 74 Is. loss of If and the debenture 5's at 69 1-2, a decline of 4 1-2. Chesa- peake and Ohio fell off sharply at the close, dipping under 52. United States express rose nearly II points, reach ing 80 1-2, as compared with 46 in January and 54 less than two weeks ago.
 The bond market showed an easier trend, although there were indications of support in some issues. Total sales. par value, s2,75o,O0o.

FRACTURES FINGER.
Fletcher, Giants Shortstop, Is Out of
 Commission for Two Weeks.

Arthur Fletcher. the Giants regular shortstop. will be out of commission for at least two weeks, as the result of fractured finger he got during practice
 Most of the players had left Emer- son field. but Fletcher, who is a "whale" for training. remained for another whirl at infield work. A local player was behind the plate throwing the ball to the bases and was a very speedy thrower. While Fletcher was attempting to catch a low and wide throw to his left he was hit by the ball on the end of the third finger of his left hand, fracturing the first joint.
 He walked down to the Arlington hotel and was sent to Dr. Smith, who set the fracture and put the injured finger in splints. He said it would be at least a fortnight before the clever shortstop could resume practice at baseball.
 This will be a week after McGraw Is due to arrive. During F1etcher's enforced layof the shortstop position will be filled by Dyer, who fortunate ly has developed into a most capable inf1elder. He has shown much prom ise of future worth and Acting Man aSer kiEsella has taken it upon him self to have the youngster sign a three year contract instead of the one year document he had already signed

hausted, and as I drew away he cut across lots for the grandstand while ran around the track. I arrived just ahead of him and heard him say when he reached the stand: I'm sorry you lost your money, Peck, but my wind gave out, darn it. and I've lost the price of a whole load of corn"
 From RoSeville I went to Philadel- phla where l competed in the Gale donian games and then went up to Wilkesbarre where we remained for a week, having an enjoyable time. It was my last visit to the coal regions as l believe it was also that of my companions. We were on our last tour of the cinder path, and were about to finish the careers we had followed so long and loved so well. From Wilkesbarre we went to New York for the final games of the season
 Among the athletes in the party who had competed in the Wilkesbarre games was Jack Watson of Toronto, a noted Canadian jumper, who said to me at the games:
 Do you remember meeting me at Queens park, Glasgow, last summer l thought at that time you were an American, and asked to see your run ser shoe from New York; as I knew Jack made shoes for all the boys was over there jumping against Tom Burroughs, the English champion jumper and we made good money. If you had told me who you were I could have put you in with parties who would have made a good thing for you" I remembered the circumstances but 1t was then too late to remedy matters. So after the New York games We separated and I returned to Norwich in time to train and lead the Sevens Of Greenevilie in the most exciting and acrimonious race ever held in eastern Connecticut. The Sevehs won by a half second, after hard race and they celebrated the event in their characteristic fashion a frll account of which appeared in one of the earlier articles of these series, After which I settled down to enjoy the blessings Of domestic com fort for the rest of the years.

SLATER RETIRED.
Change His Mnd-McGraw on His Way to Texas.

New York, March 9.-President Hampstead of the New York National league club said today that he had not heard officially from Third Basenan Shafer that the infielder intended to retire.
 '.Shafer signed two year contract with the Giants last year" said MT. Hampstead, "so he can have no salary grievance. In the event Shafer can not be made to change his mind, the club has 8 good third base prospect in Milton Stock, 8 young inf1elder of whom McGraw thinks highly"
 Hampstead received a telegram from McGraw today saying he had started for Marlin. instead of going to Chicago to attend the dinner to be giv- en the returning worlds tourists in that city tomorrow night. When Mo Graw. left here he told Hampstead he would go to Chicago with Doyle, Mer- kle, Wiltse, Thorpe and Hearne. It is believed that the Giant infield problem was the cause of McGraw making this sudden change in his plans.

 From an Eli standpoint Dutch" Ar mold was the star. The plucky little forward gave one of the gamest per for1nances ever seen in the Morning side gym. He is a diminutive chap, and was guarded closely by the husky Meenan. Time and again he broke away and managed to cage three bas- kets and five fouls.

How the Farmer Lost Whole Load

 After spending a few days with Schardien, 1 went to Roseville, N. J., to visit an old friend, named John Peck. hoping, at the same time, to ar range a race with local runner named Neil Apgar. In this I was dis appointed, but in the evening we went over to the village hotel, where Peck, who was a fine pool player, was soon engaged in his favorite pastirne.
 Quite a number Of people watched the game, among whom was a tall. boned young farmer named Gard ner, and when Peck jestingly remark ed: Nolan, I'll play you a. game for s25'' and I replied I'd rather run you 200 yards for that amount, Peck!" Why don't you run someone who can run A big fat man like Peck can't run, but l can and here's S25 that says l can run you blind!'
 T was not speaking to you at all, sir I said quietly.

Hughie Jennings Very Much in Favor
 of 1t.

Manager Jennings is thinking Of pulling an innovation for the Detroit Tigers this season in the form of an official club yell. Hughie, as every body knows. is one of the real college chaps and no one is more devoted to the traditions of alma mater. He says that he isn't crazy about college ball players as a class, but otherwise he is strong for the academic halls.
 The discovery of a former college yell master in the person of Wallace ''Toors" Schultz, a rookie, is what set him thinking about an official outcry. Toots in his care-free university days was one of the cheer leaders at Penn sylvania and yields to none when it comes to calling for nine rahs'' and encouraging the Vicalisms with gyra- uons of the most approved type
