BASEBALL RECORDS COMPLETE.
John Heydier Planning Improvement
 in Compiling Averages.

John Heydler. secretary of the Ma tional league is contemplating further improvements in the averages he yearly complies and issues. This inn provement is the printing of the rec ords of the players who take part in fewer than fifteen games. There prob ords are kept each year, but never made public
 One hundred and twenty-five play CTS were denied public records last season because MT. Heydler followed precedent and didn't take any cognt- zance of the men who participated in fewer than fifteen games. There prob ably were just as many men in the American league whose performances were not made public by Ban John sons official statistician, Irwin NJ Howe.
 According to the guide books the first year Christy Mathewson was in the National league was 1901, but really Big Six broke into fast con- pany in 1900. Rube Marquard gets into the guides for the first time in 1909, and is not in them at all in 1910.
 The fact about the holder of the modern record for consecutive victories is that he figured in one victory in 1908 and won four games and lost four in 1910. Al Demaree first appears in the guide books in 1913, but his Ma tional league debut was made in 1912.
 Iris Speaker, the Chalmers car win ner in 1912. is shown by the record books to have reached fast company in 1908, but as a matter of fact he was with the Red SoX in the fall of 190T when he batted for Morgan in the eighth inning of game in Philadel- phia, Jimmy Dygert pitching. Two days later Iris again did a pinch hit ting trick in a game in Washington and on September IT he played his first full game on the American league nff EIIJChnS nd accepting his lone chance in the field Speakers batting average that year was 282
 Heydler has made a lot of improve ments in the National league averages in the last few years. He was the first secretary to give the number of complete games pitched by each man, the first to adopt the new earned runs system and the first to place the full names of the players in the records

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET AT sTAHDsTILL Scarcity of Stocks a Noticeable Fea- ture-Priee Movements Narrow.

New York. April s-The progressive slowing down of business on the stock exchange was carried farther today, and much of the time the mark ct was at @ standstin. Speculative conditions were unchanged and no Initiative was shown by traders on either sde. Price movements were unusually narrow and in only 8 few cases did they vary as much as point from Saturdays close.
 In spite of the small amount of buying, there was still apparent the scarcity of stocks which has been a noticeable feature of the market for some time. To satisfy the scattering buying orders it was necessary to raise quotations in nearly every case, and during the greater part of the day fract1onally higher level prevail ed Toward the close the list eased off slightly, so that last prices were were barely unchanged. It was one Of the slowest sessions of the year and total transactions were not far above the 10o,o mark.
 Almost the only evidence of public interest lay in the sustained inquiry for the high grade bonds. Accum ulation of idle money here, which is largely the outgrowth of sluggish bus mess conditions has progressed to a point where a large volume of funds is seeking employment. Money which ordinarily at this season of the year would be required for business is be- ing diverted into bonds of the bet ter grade. in which trading today was relatively more active than in stocks. The unexpected loss in cash shown in Saturdays bank statement check ed the downward course of money rates but 1t is not expected that there will be any permanent departure from current conditions.
 large number of railroads operat- ing in various sections made their February returns today, and in almost every case severe shrinkages in earnings were shown. Bad railroad reports are such an old story. how ever that these statements had vir- tually no effect on the stock market. Canadian Pacific showed some heavt- ness, probably on account of a slump in the London market. London was occupied with the settlement and did virtually nothing here.
 Prices of some bonds yielded, but in general the bond market was firm. Total sales. par value, $2,o4o,o00.
