FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS FEvEREsH.
Resulted from Outcome of the
Railway Situation.

New York, Sept. 5.-The strength and
feverish activity of today's market
which appeared to have its basis large
~ in the outcome of the cailway sit
uation, might have been more con-
vincing and impressive to the casual
observer had not some of the better
known issues-Mercantile Marines,
United States Steel, Reading, Inspira-
ton Copper and Mexican Petroleum
made up an overwhelming percentage
Of the entire operations. Out Of a
total of almost 1,000,0 600 shares, the
Marines contributed 300, 600 shares
Steel 10000 and the others referred
to about 125, 900 shares.
Dealings in Marines, for which no
special reason developed other than
the early approach Of the reorganiza-
ton. were on a scale almost unpreCe-
dented since the boom days in Steel,
six OF seven years ago. The preferred
made a gross gain of II points on its
rise to the new record of 11g is, and
the common also scored a new record,
gaining to IS 3-8. Steel also sold
at the highest price in its history,
touching SO in the final trading. Adding
last Fridays regular and extra divi-
dends of IA points to tOday's min
frnunn, established a price Of 101 IL,
or almost points over its previous
best.
KelIy-Springfeld Tire common and
preferred also rose to new levels at
SO s-s and 101. respectively, with a Z
point gain for Chandler Motors at 108
on its extra dividend. Conspicuous
strength was manifested by other mo-
tors and accessories.
Stocks were at their best in the last
hour, that particular period witnessing
a spectacular movement in Mexican
Petroleum, which made an extreme
gain Of Z to ITO, with sympathetic
gains in other Mexicans. Coppers, the
more representative industrials, equip
ments and munitions gained 1 to 9
points. with for Bethlehem Steel
Rails were irregular to heavy but
shook off their lethargy later.
General news of the day included
new low record for marks at GO 1-2 and
the receipt Of another large amount of
British gold by way of Canada.
Bonds were irregular and without
special feature. Total sales, par value,
were $3,735, 900.
United States bonds were unchanged
on call.

Williams Champ For Second Time
Defeats W. NJ Johnston 1915 Champion in Five Set Match
I Fans Disappointed, Owing to Lack of Sensational
Pay-Braves Drop From First PIace-New London
Gripping Eastern Pennant

Forest Hills, N. Y, Sept. 5-For the
second time in his short career on
American tennis courts, P. Norris
Williams End of Philadelphia won the
the West Side Club here this after
noon when he defeated William M.
Johnston of San Francisco, the 1915
champion, in a five set match at the
scores of 4-6, GA. 0-6. Ga, ga.
Fans Disappointed.
While the contest between the two
champions of 1914 and 1915 had a
nerverackfng climax, the match, con-
sidered as a whole, was hardly up to
the tennis. expected from these two
masters. The gallery of nearly 10000
spectators, who gathered to witness
the final act sof the thirty sixth annual
tournament of tie national associa-
looked for a wonderful ard thrilling
exhibition from the two survivors Of
the i28 entrants who started play here
more than a week ago. In the main,
however, they were disappointed for
while there were occasional brilliant
rallies and flashing strokes, both Will
HamS and, Johnston, in their endeav-
ors to play carefully, uncOnSciouSiy
eliminated much Of the dash and fire
from their racquet and footwork.
Sensational Play Lacking.
The fortunes of the players swung
first one way and then to the other, as
each had moments of advantage, but
there was lacking the sensational
fighting Of the ball back and forth
across the net which was so marked
In the Murray Church and other SINH
lar contests in the preliminary rounds.
Occasionally one or the other play
err would swing into his best tennis
and for a few moments the play
would sparkle with beautifully exc
cuted drives, sInashes and lohs. Then,
as if fearful of their own reckless
ness, they would curtail their forceful
strolzing Of the ball and proceed to
throw away point after point by the
most amateurish errors. Such advan-
tage as Williams had came from his
taking the greater chances and his
ability to stroke the ball closer to the
danger point than Johnston. Added
to this was the victor's greater physi-
cal stamina, which stood him in good
stead as the contest progressed.

his game and quickly run out the neo-
essary points to win. They under
estimated Johnston's lighting spirit,
however for the wiry little chap was
game to the core and set Williams a
pace which he could not match for q
time. Johnston slashed and whipped
the ball back to Williams so fast that
the latter temporarily went to pieces
and ended rally after rally with an
error.
1t was not until three games had
been lost that he finally got himself in
check. The strain was beginning to
tell on Johnston and, although Will
Jams was taking greater chances and
chief manoeuvre appeared to be to
keep Johnston working hard with the
idea of eventually firing him out.
Johnston Weakens.
Gradually the latter began to weak
en- under the combination of Williams
si5illful placing and his own exertions.
The gallery, with which Williams was
decided favorite, changed it's groans
at the latter's errors to cheers as he
began to pile up points and there was
q remarkable demonstration when
Williams made the score sail. AS he
ran through the next two and took a
commanding lead the applause and
Hams was obliged to hold up his hand
for silence
Spectators were beginning to leave
the stands as Johnston started his
final rally and there was a hurried re-
turn to seats when the title holder
completed the ninth game and was
within one of making it deuce. The
opening Of the tenth found the SPEC
tators on odge ana after Williams had
thrown away several apparently easy
points and tho gaL?.s had gone to
deuce, both men and women shrieked
with excitement at the winning and
losing of each point. Deuce wa
called four times at this point before
Williams went to vantage with a sharp
backhand cross court placement ace
and Johnston gave up the title by net
ting the next service
There was a wild yell from the
gallery which swarmed out on to the
turf, but not until Johnston had leap
ed over the net, shaking hands in con-
graduating Williams. Tho pair dis
appeared in the clubhouse arm in
arm.
Williams, in winning the title for
the second time since he came to this
country in 1912 from Switzerland
fought his way through the present
national championship tournament
from the first round and figured in
seven matches, 25 sets and PIT games.
Johnston's record for the tournament
was seven matches % sets and 2Q3
games.

BARON GALE WINS 1924
TROT IN STRAIGHT HEATS
In Grand Circuit Races at Hartford
Azora Axworthy Keeps Her Half
Mile Record Clean.

Hartford, Conn, Sept. 5.-After be-
ing shipped from Holyoke last night,
reaching the Grand Circuit track at 8
o'clock this morning, Galeton, son of
Baron Gale. won the 2:24 trot in
straight heats this afternoon, beating
a field of four other horses and taking
a new mark of 2:17 IA. Azora AK
worthy kept her half mile record clean
when she ran away from the field in
the 2:15 trot and Empress Of Russia
was returned an easy winner IN the
2:18 trot.
The events were competed over the
half mile track recently completed and
built inside the present mile oval. De
spite it's newness the track was fast
and the time made by the winners
were generally without being pushed
to the wire.
The victory Of Galeton. with Harry
Brusie handling the reins, was a sur
prise even to the local followers OF the
turf who knew Of that hore's ability
Galeton threw q shoe in July and has
not been raced until this afternoon. A
classy field opposed AzOra Axwort1y
in the 2:15 trot but the speedy daush-
ter of Bale AXWOrthy was TOO fast
for the bunch. Koroni, the king of
the eastern half mile trotters, was ex-
pected to have a chance, but he found
the going too fast. Baron Friscoe
made the 2:18 trot exciting, finishing
right UP on the Empress of Russ1a's
neck in each heat. Napoleon Direct

Williams Erred Frequently.
A careful analysis of the play dur
ing the first sets show that while Will
hams ran far ahead Of Johnston in his
ability to score both service and place
ment aces, he piled up many more err
rors than the San Franciscan. There
was four points difference in the totals
of the two players at the end of the
match ana they were tied in the num-
Der of games won.
From the very beginning 1t was evil
dent that these representatives Of the
best in eastern and western tennis
play of the present day realized the
responsibility which rested on their
shoulders. They started in slow and
led back and forth without particular
speed except during service until in
the majority OF cases an error gave
the point away.
Tide Changed in Fourth.
In the first set, games went with
service until the ninth game, when
Johnston took the lead and ran out
Conditions were alomst reversed in
the second and then Williams dropped
the third at love by his inability to
control his strokes, while Johnston
from g. point of vantage at the net
was able to pick opening after opening
for points. The tide really turned in
the fourth set, when Williams awoke
and started to play with the dash and
vim which usually characterizes his
game forehand and backhand, he
was supreme and he drove the ball
first to one side and then to the other
side of Johnston, forcing the latter to
keep constantly on the run in order
to return the sphere. For the first
time in the contest the rallies were
long and hard fought but the fastener
usually wound up by forcing an open
ing for q shot which Johnston could
not connect with.

Braves Drop to Third Place.

Boston. Sept. 5.-The Braves drop
ped from first place to third and
Philadelphia advanced from a Sec
ond place tie to a coupling with
Brooklyn in the lead of the National
League race as a result of the cham
pions 4 to 2 win over Boston here to-
day and Brooklyn's victory over New
York. A second game between Bos-
ton and Philadelphia. went i've in
nings to a scoreless tie when il was
called off because Of darkness.
For five innings in the first game to-
day Barnes held the Phillies to TWO
hits, but in the sixth he was found
for three hits and a sacrifice fly,
which, with q wild pitch and an err
ror, accounted for three runs. The
Braves made their two runs in the
fifth on three clean singles.
In the second game, Rudolph had al
lowed only one hit, while Boston had
gained seven off Demaree, but without
score, when darkness set IN. Cravath
was banished for disputing a decision

WHO COME BACK.

So many athletes of physical per9ec-
ton find it such a hard task to stay in
the major leagues that when one, han
dicapped by accident or fate, manages
to hold on to a job he is deserving of
open commentator. A recent acquisi-
ton to the Braves was Fred penny
Bailey, a collegian from Marshall.
Bailey is an outfielder with no minor
league experience, but already he has
made an impression upon George Stall
lings, who has been using the young
ster as a pinch batter.
While playing football at Marshall,
Bailey broke his left shoulder and SO
seriously tore the ligaments and cords
Of his left side physicians declared he
would be unable to throw again. Bailey
was made Of superior mould, however.
and learned the art of throwing with
his right hand, besides caring for his
injured left shoulder, and teaching the
injured muscles to act IN their former
capacity
Bailey is looked upon as a present
day wonder, but he is not alone among
the major league lights who have over :,
come accidents to throwing arms.
Probably the most famous player who
was forced to learn to throw left
handed after being brought into the
world a capable right hand exponent
Of daily existence was TristraIn Speak
er, now making hitting history with
the Cleveland Indians.
Speaker at the age of 10 was thrown
from a horse and his right hand SO
torn and fractured he had to learn to
use his left. Eddie Roush, formerly
with the Giants and now Red, frac-
tured his right arm and had to learn
to use his left. This fact kept Roush
out OF the major leagues for several
years as he was always a capable
hitter and fielder, but could not throw
with any success until the last few
years.
