NEW YORK. Feb. T. (WALL STREET) ).-There was little in to- days perfunctory stock market to warrant detailed or specific comment
 Dealings were the smallest of any ses- sion thus far this year.

 American Zinc, which leC last

 United States Steel feu to an ob- scure place, being superseded by hal: T dozen hitherto inactive stocks.

 Aside from the disappearance Of foreign inquiry. the whear market from the outset was bearishly affect ed by lower quotations from Liver pool, improved Missouri and Kansas crop reports. and by liberal receipts here and the northwest as well.
 Big receipts and the slowness ot eastern demand had q depressing ef- feet on corn. Oats gave way witt corn and wheat.

TEMPE PAYS HOMAGE ID NATIONS HERO
IAlt Public Institutions Remain Closed
 Today. Annual Ballgame

The birthday anniversary of George Washington will be generally ob s'rved in Tempe today. Unlike the plans in most other towns of the valley, both the state normal and the high school and grammar schools will be closed, all of the public business institutions are closed for the day and it is probable that the big ma jority of the mercantile and other houses win discontinue their business pursuits at the noon hour.
 , The banks are observing their GUS tOmary holiday rulings and the post office general delivery window will be open only this forenoon between nine and ten o'clock. No service will be extended either on the village delivery route or on the rural routes. r But few of the business houses yesterday signified their intention to observe WashinGton's birthday in its entireity so il is likely that business will continue much as usual until twelve o'clock.
 Of all WashingtOn's birthday at fractions in Tempe there are none more important than the annual high school and Tempe normal baseball game. and after the contest that was staged last Saturday between these teams ultimately resulting in a vic tory for the Tempests, interest in this afternoons event is at it's keenest edge. These two teams went through nine innings of good clean fast ball on Saturday and the score was tied until the very last man was at bat in the ninth inning.
 Coach Schaeffer says the Peda- gogues are going to win today, fol the game il to be played on the normal field and his men have every advantage point on that diamond down pat. He will probably send Dutch Bauer in to pitch and tn, balance of the lineup will remain much the same as it was on Satur- day
 Jennings of the high school has his men in the prime of condition ant they firmly believe they can duplicate their victory of three days ago. Halry Stewart, one of the oldest men ur the nine will do the pitching

tennis. The best players-the men

nearly every day throughout the whole

times a week indoors in winter.
Every well-executed play in tennis
is the result of practice; no matter
what the natural aptitude, 1t is prac-

There is no royal road.
Merely playing every day will not
develop a game. The practice must
be gone about intelligently in the de-
sire to improve the weak spots, and
no amount Of match playing will take
the place of painstaking training.
The natural desire in playing a
friendly game is to use the strokes
that you know best and to avoid the
plays in which you have commonly
failed; it stands to reason that 1T is
not the best strokes, but the poor
strokes, which need attention. There

ST. LOUIS, August 11.-Earl Yfnglfng
the Minneapolis clubs southpaw pitch
er. will be a member of the Griffmen
next spring. Manager Griffith has con
vinced himself that a brainy left
handler. even though he does not have
extra ordinary speed or curves can be
successful in the American League
where left-handed hitters prevail; and
Yingling is a pitcher of great ability
fast on his feet and one Of the best
hitters in the game.
This will be Yingling's second ex-
perience in the major league. Up to
two years ago~Ae was a member Of the
Brooklyn National League team, and
he was let out because he lacked con-
troll. He seems to have found this
however. since being with Cantillon
and is by far the best left-hander In
the American Association. Grifhth Will
use him as one of his regular pitchers
and also as a pinch hitter. at which
he has always been able to shine.
The Nationals have won just -four
games out of the eighteen played in
the west. Four games were lost in
Detroit. three out Of five in Cleveland
and two were won and two were lost
in the series in Chicago, while the team
Jared worse in st. Louis than anywhere
else, for the entire five games were
lost. On the first western trip the Ma
tionals won but five games out OF
eighteen, but their lead at that time
was good enough to keep them prom
inent in the race. Since then, however
they have dropped to seventh place
and 1t will require a healthy winning
