Claims as to Damages.
On the question rof damages the ora
tor says the computation should be so
made as to make the plaintiff whole
for what it has suffered by all the
wrongful acts of the defendants and
what it will suffer therefrom in the
future. cit must be the irresistible
says the orator, that the
rule for computing damages, applied by
the master, is far too narrow and that
the orator is entitled to a more liberal
measure. But the orator is not com
lplaining. The defendants have no
ground for complaint =
The defendants maintain that the
case is aimed at the total extinction of
their business and that if the case
represents large financial interests to
the orator it represents equally large
financial interests to them. As to the
rule of damages the defendants say:
= The orator has been permitted to put
III evidence of its profits for a period
of four years preceding the alleged
wrongdoings of the defendants and has
then been allowed to put in evidence.
not of the orator S losses of profits dur
ing the succeeding four years. but of
the profits made by the Mohawk Over
all Co. In this application of the rule.
the defendants maintain that there is
reversible error. The rule may be stated
IN another form: that it is for the ora
tor to show its loss of profits and not
the defendants gain. The evidence be-
fore the master tends to show that the
new business acquired by the Brattle-
boro company, taken together with the
old business which was retained.

II. Wolter, Former Yank,
May Return to 6igleague

Harry wolter. former star rtghtfelder
of the New York Yankees, 10 now with
the Los Angeles club in the Pacific Coast
League. From the way he has been
travelling with the Angels. Harry Ii due
for another "come-back' into the main
show. 1t was q run OF tough luck which
robbed wolter Of his major league berth.
He was one of the leading batters OF the
American League In 1911. swatting the
pill for an average Of .S4 that year.
Early in the 1872 season he broke a leg.
The fracture incapacitated him almost
all Of that season, and when he reported
to Frank Chance the following year he
made a very poor showing. He was not
only unable to cover the bases with his
former speed, but his batting eye was
also sadly afflicted. and he fell on In
base stealing and fielding to such an ex-
tent that Chance released him. Wolter
refused to accept the theory that his
playing days were over, and with the
Los Angeles team he soon demonstrated
that he had recovered his old-time form.
Last year he played in 2o3 games for the
Los Angeles club. and hung up bat
ting average Of .3S. This year he has
been slamming the pellet at a great rate
and. as he hits better later in the season

MONEY TIGHTER HERE
THAN IN NEW YORK
Banking Conditions Favorable. Due to
Receipts from Abroad. Says
John B. Cochran.
By TOHN r COCHRAN
BY JOHN B. COCHRAN,

President Franklin National Bank.
Business in the District during the
past week was good. Greater activity
was noticed in many lines. In real
estate offices, progress was noted in
| the increased loans and demands for
| money. More real estate improve
ments were put under way during the
! week. The building of homes was
augmented.
Money was tighter in Washington
during the week than in New York,
which means that there was a great
er demand for it here Investment
businesses were stimulated, princi-
pally in the sales of real estate.
Banking conditions were more
favorable. Deposits increased during
the period, due, undoubtedly, to larger
receipts of money in this country
from abroad.
Several circumstances arising dur
ing the week had rather a cooling
effect on markets outside of Washing
ton. The strikes at Bridgeport,
Conn, and Bayonne, N. J., made in
vestors little more timid, as it was
felt such disaffection might spread.
The situation in Europe also is re-
sulting in the marking of time by
the big financial markets, even
though the markets were braced up
by the placing of large war orders
in this country~-It probably is felt
now that the war will be drawn out,
which is producing feeling of in
decision and uncertainty in the mar
kets in this country.
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1915-07-25

than in the spring. 1t is likely that he
may lead the league. 1t was rumored
last winter that Wolter would be Offered
Yankee contract. Scout Arthur Irwin
protested against the dropping of WolteI
from the Yankee payroll in 1913, and sub
sequent developments indicate that he
had the right bunch.
If Wolter should retrun to the major.
II would not be his first experience as g
comeback" He broke into the big
top in 1907, when he played with Pitts
burgh. Cincinnati and st. Louis in the
National League. The Cardinals turned
him over to St. Paul. but Harry refused
to report to that club and Joined the Cal.
tfornia outlaws. playing with San Jose
in 1908. The following year he was re.
instated In organized ball. on paying 9
$50 fine, and Joined Boston in the Ameri.
can League.
Wolter started his career as a pitcher,
and It was in that capacity that he was
given his first big league tryout. When
he went to the Red Sox he was given an
other trial as q twirler. and was then
sent to the initial bag. 1t was not until
he was turned over to the Yankees In
1910 that Harry was tried out in the out
field. where he has been stationed ever
since
