Left handed throwers who desire to
play the inneld should contine their ef.
forts TO first base. The records OF
baseball fail to show left handed
thrower successful In any infeld posi-.
ton other than first base. This Is due
to the fact that n left handed thrower
who tries to play second. third or
shortstop Is always of his throwing
balance when lie gets a ground ball.
II Is necessary, therefore, that he
should change his position before lie
can make throw TO any Of the other
bases with any degree OF accuracy.

FREE MARKET FOR STEEL

From the New York Times.
 Steel common is not on the hst oi stocks rledged under the British $2oo'Voo'- ooo loan, although about $75,oooooo Steel was held in Europe at the outbreak or the war. Its absence from the list IS conspicuous. Both in the value or roreish holdings and in market prestise the American stocks on the list are m significant by comparison. In marshaii- ing holdings of Americans the Brltish tree sury must have received more steer than any other American industrial ana must have been and still may be selling it outright The force of foreign selling may accordingly be now used as bear argument on the stock. But the market yestel day, as on Monday, when new high record was established. refused to halt on this consideration. Steel supplied transactions in more than 250,O00 shares, established another high at 971s and closed with net gain of PA points Britishers may have and probably did sell it, but every one of them sold at higher price than he gave for his stock and altogether the British public must

THE TEMPERAMENTAL MANAGER

From the New York Herald.
 To none save actors. poets and artists is the luxury called temperament" per missible nowadays. But there was time within the memory of persons still liv- ing when the temperamental managers controlled theatricals.
 It was during the palmy days Of the drama that the temperamental manager was at his best. Care free, light of purse, of jovial mien, as befitted one in which breast hope sat eternal, he made all his engagements on the sidewalk of Union square and signed his contracts on the bar of the saloon that he called his hang g-out." No man ever conducted bus mess on less capital or with more sublime faith in a merciful' Providence than he If his attraction happened to please the public the actors received their money, but if 1t failed he would leave them stranded in some small town and make the best of his way back to New York wither the players. as temperamental would follow as quickly as possible ir order to sign with him again.
 When theatricals ceased to be spor' and became business the tempera mental manager faded from the scene 1 And with him vanished the term ''somt salary" meaning the infrequent drib | blings of money with which he was won to keep the actors at bay.
