FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS IRREGULAR. Detention of American Marine Com merce Causes Halt in Prices.

New York, Dec. 29-AIore than at any time since the renewal of business on the stock exchange today's market was governed by conditions having their outgrowth in the foreign war The representations made by the ad- ministration to England protesting against further detention of American marine commerce, caused an abrupt halt in the advance in prices, which was in full swing at the previous day's close. Wall Street viewed the subject from various angles and the general opinion seemed to be that new and significant development had been pro- Jected into the international situation.
 The market opened with it's accus- toned irregularity, leading stocks eVincing heaViness with a few gains among unim poTtant issues. From that level a rally ensued, the recovery in 8 few instances restoring stocks to the preceding days best. Before mid day the list fell back again and for the balance of the session no import ant changes were recorded. Dealings showed a marked falling off in com parison with recent full sessions and such trend as was shown came mainly from the operations of the short in- terest, with a sprinkling of hquida- tion, especially in the Rock Island bonds. which made sharp declines of two to almost five points.
 <AIlOLIlSE u6C1t10 oACudI1S6 Ou 14Oll- don to the lowest price in almost Is months gave rise to some discussion of gold imports. Bankers were unan- imous in declaring that this market cannot hope to get gold from London, but a return of some of the gold shipped to Ottawa in the early stages of the war is within the range of probability. Time money was quotably unchanged, but it was reported that several special thirty and sixty day loans were made at rates under the recent low quotations. Interior banks have temporarily withdrawn from the mercantile paper market, but revival is expected soon after the new year.
 More unfavorable railroad state rnents for November were submitted, that of the Canadian Pacific showing a. net decrease of $2,240.0 900 with a loss of $30S,0o0 for Union Pacific and $205, 1000 for Illinois Central.
 Bonds were irregular, verging toward weakness in some of the low priced issues. Total sales. par value, $1,0S5,- 000.
 There were minor advances in all issues of government bonds on call.

..get the stufrs on his ball Speed was sacrificed for the sake of the curve. Ramsey had a dandy, 1t is said, and the way his ball would drop was amazing. Mattie Kilroy used a down. shoot that was faster than Ramsey's. but had no such bend. Now days the curves are all thrown with two fingers Hence more speed.
 HeadworS is everything in pitching. The arm amounts to whole lot, but there is many a fellow up in the big leagues who has little or no soup bone" It is the man who can put the ball where he wants to whenever he wants to. who makes the winning pitcher. To be plain, control is noth- ing more CT less than putting the ball where you want, just as a. rifle man shooting at a target He takes the most direct route for his bullet and sends it straight for the mark. All major leagueTs will tell you that control is the main thing in box work
 A major league twirler will never put the ball over the middle of the plate if he can help it. He tries to keep the ball over the inside or out side corner. He tries to make the batter hit a ball he does not like. He'd rather walk a man than let him hit a ball to his liking. One differ ence between major and minor league pitching is that in the minors the first
 
 tail end of the batting order is seldom to be feared. In the big show you seldom know what any man will do It is not hard to explain why control gives the pitcher mastery over the bat ter. Every hitter has some weakness or at least he has some balls which he can hit more readily than others. Some batters kill high ball. others like a slow ball.
 Control doesn't only mean to be able to put the ball over the plate and avoid getting a base on ba1s In fact, see a pitcher throwing a ball over the heart of the pan. It shows that he is not able to. work the corners, that he can only put the ball ins the ideal place for the other fellows to clout it. Speed alone, isn't enough. The hard hitters like to be up against speed pitchers. The ball that comes straight over the plate is all the easier to wallop, if it comes fast. It ire bounds all the further when it's flight is interrupted by the bat
 The batter doesn't have to take a swing to drive this kind of ball out He likes this, for a swing causes him to lose his sense of direction Give him a fast ball, that can be met with a short, snappy .stroke and you have played right into the hands of the clever batters. Speed though, is a The greatest pitchers, men like Young, Rusie, Radbourne. Waddell, Mathew son, Brown, Wood, Donovan, Keefe Johnson, Rudolph and James all have used speed, but it is control that counts for most. Good control a change of pace, and a good slow ball are ample to make good on. After control, it seems the next most inn portant thing is to pitch every ball with the same motion.

COLLINS WANTED RECORD
 PRICE FROM FEDS.
Stated That He Would Jump Sso,ooO
 For Three Year Contract.

A Federal League official has stated that the reason that the new organiza- tion did not persist in its negotia- tions to sign Eddie Collins, formerly of the Athletics and now of the White Sox, was because his demands when the Feds first approached Collins with an offer, were so great that the Independent League officials were dumbfounded
 Collins had been generally selected as the greatest player. in the world, and he impressed this fact upon the mind of the Federal Leaguers when they asked him if he would jump. To their great astonishment, Collins stat ed that he demanded sSO,O0O for a three-year contract.
 Not only that, but he wanted s20.- 900 in cash and demanded that the other $60,G00 be deposited in the bank for him. This demand on the part of Collins, the Federal League official states, breaks all records for colossal nerve on the part of the present dav players, Of course, the demand was refused.
 It was beyond reason. It goes to show, however, just what a high re- gard Collins has for his services.

Baker and Manager Pat Moran of the Phillies will meet President Jim Calf ney of the Boston Braves to complete the deal whereby Sherwood Magee goes to the Braves. The final details were put off until President Baker has a chance to get the final answer of Hans Lobert about his contract for next season. Lobert is the only mem Der of the Phillies who has not signed for next year.
 If Lobert refuses to sign and jumps to the Federal League Moran's club will be without a third baseman. In that event the Phillies will ask for an infielder from Boston as part of the trade. Boston will have Red" Smith back in form next year, and also has Deal, who so ably filled Smiths shoes in the worlds series. Baker also wants an outfielder as part of the trade, and one of the men he is liable to land is Gathers.
 The loss of Magee together with the severe losses the Phillies suffered last season, means an entire reconstruction of the team next season. Manager Moran has a hard task on his hands, but he depends on developing a number of young players to fill the gaps made by the loss of so many stars
 The success of the Boston Braves last year, a comparatively green club, has set a new style in baseball and this season there is sure to be a lot of ex- perimenting by managers to develop young players as Manager StallingS did last year, instead of depending on a few star players.

WANTS $500 FROM GIANTS.
Davenport Club Files Claim in Draft
 ing Case of Catcher Marshall.

The Davenport, Iowa. club of the Three-Eye league will appeal to the national commission for an account ing of $500 against the New York Giants as the result of the drafting of Catcher Bob Marshall. The Denver club of the Western league drafted Marshall from Davenport at the price in vogue among the minors. The Dem yer club then turned Marshall over to the Giants
 The difference in the draft price paid by Denver to Davenport and that which Davenport would have received if he had been drafted by the Giants directly amounts to $500. The Dapen- port club has made the demand for the difference, and it is very likely that the matter may be adjusted be- fore 1t goes to the commission.
 A similar case happened when Catcher Frank Bruggy was drafted sby Rochester from Lawrence, and then turned over to the Boston Braves. The Braves saved $450 by the transaction, but dhe Lawrence club put in it's claim and at the last meeting of the Nation al league President Gaffney of the Braves turned over the $450 to Law renee.

New York, Dec. 29.-Joe Shugrue of Jersey City outfought Charley White of Chicago in ten round bout at Madison Square Garden tonight. Shu- gr,1e had the better of seven rounds.
 Both men weighed in under 13S pounds at o'clock and their singside weights were: Shugrue 133 1-4, White 130 1-4.
 It was a clean. fast fight. Shugrue forced the pace nearly all the way, while White, during the early rounds, was cool and seemingly confident. He met Shugrue's rushes with snappy left hooks and right counters, but he de- pended for the great part upon his left hand.
 face and White retaliated with left hooks and short right crosses. one of which cut Shugrue's nose in the open ing round. At times they stood toe to toe in hot mixups, but invariably the Jersey lad had the better of the argu- ment
 Although honors were even in the fourth, White stumbled off his bal ance and Shugrue caught him with a left swing in the stomach.
 In the fifth, sixth and seventh Joe forced the fighting and frequently blocked Whites returns cleverly. In the eighth the Chicago lad showed ag- gressiVeness and sent in some hard blows to the body as well as hooking right and left to the head and face. At the end of the round he landed a hard left hook far back on the jaw. This was Whites best round. Shugrue kept up his jabbing tactics in the ninth and blocked cleverly. having the best of this session.
 The final round was full of fast work by both men. White landed some swift hooks to the face and also had better 0f the infighfing at which he was not successful as in the pre- vious rounds. He used both hands to advantage, taking the honors of the round in hurricane style.

GIANTS MAY BUY aEARm.r
An International League Club May
 Become Home of Giants Castoffs,


 In order to save its big collection of promising young players, who will have to be turned loose when the major leagues season begins, it is not unlike ly that the New York Giants will buy a minor league club before next sea- son. where the young players can be farmed out. It has been stated that one of the clubs in the International league might be purchased for this purpose.
 Several of the major league clubs have this idea in mind and that was the reason that Manager Herzog of Cincinnati and Manager Higgins of St. Louis both put in bids for the Buffalo club of the International league. The major leaguers forcaT that the new rule restricting their clubs to twenty-one men means that they will have to turn several players loose who are really good enough to be grabbed up by the Class A clubs. which. includes the International league. the American association and the Pacific Coast leagues.
 With the expense of sending out scouts and the trouble of landing new players, the major league clubs cannot afford to handle the youngsters for few weeks in the spring and then let them go and have some other club reap the benefit
 me heSoIkLliOHS 1OE lne lrdIlS1eE OI the Jersey City club to Syracuse did not progress as far as the Information al league club owners expected when the matter first came up g. few weeks ago and since that time the New York club has become interested in the proposition If the Giants acquire the Syracuse club it is very likely that Manager McGraw will see that George Weltse, who has been unconditionally released, will get the job as manager.

RAGING FATE
 WAS DISAPPOINTING.
Plans Being Considered for Next Year.


 Outside the loss of the polo and lawn tennis trophies, respectively to England and Australians, the greatest disappointment of the year just clos ing in the national sport was the fail ure to bring of the race for the challenge on behalf of the fourth Shamrock caused the building of three American sloops of like dimen- sions, 75 feet on the water line, but the contest had to be postponed be- fore the defender had been definitely selected and before the challenger had been given the opportunity to show what she could do in American waters. Shamrock " crossed the ocean with out any serious mishap, although the last half of her voyage was made after the European war had broken out. She was immediately hauled out and slowed away for safe keeping. every effort having been made to hide her lines from the prying eyes of yach ing experts on this side of the water. As a result the challenge is still just as much of a mystery as she was the day she was launched at Gossport, and the members of the committee having charge of defense of the cup are in no better position to judge of the requirements of the boat that is to meet her than before the relative abil- ities of the Resolute, Vanitie and De-
 
 In the races sailed between the three defenders the Resolut had made the beeter all-round showing and is no wlooked upon as the prob able defender. She is typical Herreshof boat, refined to the last touch. but with qualities that recom- mend her in all points of sailing save that of before the wind. On a run with sheets eased the Vanitie's su- perior spread of canvass always prov1 ed too much for her, but the gain made in the beat to windward and the time allowance she received usual ly proved sufficient to bring Resolute home a winner on corrected time. The Shamrock " carries more sail than the Vanitie, which means that Reso- 1ute would receive a greater time al Iowance than the Iipton boat than from her American rival, but t vii take the actual test to determine if this allowance is sufficiently great to bring her in a winner. Everything seems to hinge on the ability of the Shamrock " to work to windward. If she can point high as well as foot it it is barely possible that the Vanitie Lipton's challenger. for between these two boats the difference in speed when running before the wind is not thought to be very great. The fact that Lip ton had the courage to make a fourth effort to lift the cup has made him new friends and admirers and there was real regret when it was an nounced that the races would have to go over. No date was set for the con- tests in 1915. but Sir Thomas asked that the races be sailed as nearly as possible on days corresponding with those agreed upon last summer-Sept- 10, 12. Is.
