occur it would cause a dismember-
ment of the lines, which then would
be operated individually without
transfers and the whole matter would
be tied up in the courts for years,
thereby seriously retarding the de-
velopment of Kansas City.
Former Warning Recalled.
This is something, 1 feel sure.
that no fair-minded man wants to see.
Kansas City already has been given
a black eye from which it will suffer

CITY CHAMPIONSHIP. New Team Will Soon Enter the Field and Claim the Title.

Many of the local fans and baseball enthusiasts are puzzled to pick the champions of the city. The All Stars and Sachems seem to be the only ones in the limelight at the present time. These two teams have met twice, each winning a game. Now the question is when will the third game be pulled off
 IL has been suggested by many that the managers of these two teams in stead of talking so much should get down to business and fight it out. The baseball public will then be able to judge for themselves who the real champs are.
 As far as can belearned concerning the series which the All Stars and Sa- chems started they have been called off leaving the championship question unsettled
 Now a new team has entered the younger stage of the ball world and although it has not made known it's name or players, are tending. to rest the title away from both teams. This team is composed of the pick of the city, not going out of the city. and are willing to arrange games between any team that lays claim to the city title on Saturdays only.

Dissatisfaction Over Harvard Track
 Teans

Harvard men are becoming dissatis fled with the showing made by the Crimson track teams in recent years, for although the men who have gone out for the teams have worked hard and have received the aid of expe- rienced coaches, it is generally grant sd that the calibre of the track teams at Cambridge is far below par and not nearly up to the standard set by the other major sports. For the last ten years Cornell and Pennsylvania have had a practical monopoly at the in tercollesiate games, the only break >eing in 1909 when Harvard unex- tectedly came in for premier honors.
 Tn looking for cause for Harvard S inability to stand the pace, one has not got to go far. The Crimson teams bet few preparatory school stars, and Ghe coaches are dependent almost en- rely upon new and inexperienced hen. The great trouble is that the mthusias1n for the sport seems to be less than that for the other major sports, and the coaches are handl- capped by the small number of men reporting for work. A glance at this years freshman team serves as an example. Although there were sever al fair track men, including two stars sn Teschner and Wilcox, the material for the field events was very poor. There isn't member of the class who can clear ten feet in the pole vault, and the work in other events is just as poor. In spite of this, there were barely enough candidates to make up competition

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS NARROW. Average of Prices But a Small Frac. ton From Close of Previous Day.

New York, June 10--At no time to- day was the average of stock eN- change prices removed more than small fraction from yesterdays close. In its more important phases the speculative position was unchanged and such news as wes received pro- duced no effect upon quotations. AL though the undertone was good most of the day prices ultimately gave way slightly on account of the ab- sence of demand. Lehigh Valley, Mis- Souri Pacific and a few other shares showed distinct heaviness.
 United States Steels monthly ton mage report showing a decrease of 2S7000 tons, was so close to trade es-
 inmates that it went for naught as a market factor. The statement indi- cated that the steel corporations shipments in May, averaging about 3o,000 tons a working ray. exceeded new orders by more than Il, 900 tons making the average daily bookings of new business approxima tely 19,000 tons. This represents less than half the capacity of the corporations plants. Not since the end of October. 1911, has United States Steel reported so small total of thrilled orders. The volume of new business thus far in June has been somewhat better than last month The weekly trade re- views reported an increase of inter- est on the part of buyers Of pig iron and finished material.
 The outward movement of gold was unchecked S4000 900 being engaged to- day for shipment to Europe.

HARVARD GETTING STRONGER.
Yale Will Probably This Year Leave
 of the English Ideas in Rowing.

It appears that Yale has not de veloped the power and the speed that the Crimson oarsmen are every day increasing. Many of the Crimson followers believe that the only and the best stroke is the American, while every one knows that the Yale stroke is a combination of English and Amer ican.
 The Yale shell is American rigged but with the old fashioned antiquated thole pins which is purely the English style. The blades that the blue men use are of the choicest English brand with the width of If inches at the end, while the American is to 1-4 The English blade though narrower than the domestic blade has 22 more inches of exposed surface to grip the water with.
 It is the impression of many that this will be the last year of the anti quated thole pin and, the English sweep in the Yale crew. Through these foreign methods Yale's old pres tige as a rowing college has been de- clining and unfortunately have de- parted and old Eli will not regain her crown again until the English ideas are routed out.
