Collins was slipping as a hitter. He sold Collins for $50,00O to President COmiskey of the White Sox and sign ed Lajoie for a song.
 As the Athletics trudged into their Chicago headquarters the other day there wasn't a sprier or more alert athlete among all of Macks latest col lection of school children than this veteran who was playing ball before some of his team mates saw the light of day.
 manldandu5msog now isthe time for al LajOie has played high class base ball for Mack this year. Few second basemen or first sackers for all that have shown much stronger and he's hammering the ball hard in the pinches.
 T signed Lajoie because I felt sure that he was far from being a has been," said Mack "and I wanted him to help me mold a, new infeId"
 This veteran came back just as Mack had predicted and some of the men Mack sold or traded haven't been shining nearly so bright as this old star of the diamond. Lajoie plays ball because he loves the pastime, and as long as there is a big league club that values his services he will keep on playing according to his own word.
 In all his career in baseball Lajoie has never participated in a worlds series. Nor has he ever seen a, post season game for the highest Iaurels in the sport. If Larry can't be In the worlds series he won't watch the boys play. The reason for this is that he wants to be in the game. Lajoie's bat ting average totals .343, extend ing over a period of twenty years.
 ''Sluggers have come and sluggers have gOn,'' said Ed Walsh, ''but La joie is still going on-a dangerous man in a pinch and one of the toughest men in the game for a pitcher to baf- fie. LajOie in my opinion, was the greatest natural batsman the game has ever known. If he had a weak ness no one was able to find it.
 About the best thing for a pitcher to do when Larry came to bat with the score tied and men on second and third was to offer a prayer, throw in the general direction of the plate and trust to luck"
 Mack declares he will have no has beens on his ball club. That's one req son he signed Napoleon Lajoie.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET FLUCTRATED.
Early Upward Progress Was Surren-
 dered Toward the Close

i New York Aug. 10.-Subject to the restraints imposed by a large and Ob- l stinate shortage in tOday's market made further upward progress, much of which was surrendered in the heavy profit taking of the last half Qg the session. Improvement in speculative sentiment, endangered largely by the acceptance of rails, stimulated a de-
 nand for high grade issues, although the inquiry from this source it after wards developed was not far reach
 ing.
 Price movements in the forenoon
 were slightly irregular but gains pre-
 dominated, with Reading again the leader, that stock adding 1 38 to yes terday's advance of almost seven points, but closing at a net loss of 1 1-2. Mercantile Marines also de- noted further accumulation on the ap- preaching publication of the reOrgan- izatiOn plan and United States help by improving slightly on its high price of the preceding day.
 During the intermediate stages there was considerable activity in the rub Der issues identified with the motor industry, as well as Consolidated Gas, United States Industrial Alcohol and it's related issues, distiIlers securities There were intervals of strength in munitions and equipments and Gener- al Motors was distinguished, for it's extreme gain of 25 points on a few transactions.
 Prices began to drop on publication of the United States Steel tonnage re- port for July, which showed a nominal decrease in thrilled orderss and made further headway on the failure of the Union Pacific claims to increase the present rate of dividend.
 Steel closed at net loss of 7-8 and Union Pacific forfeited 1 3-8. Total sales were 55,000 shares. Negotiations contained with the New British loan are approaching completion, accord ing to intimations from authoritative quarters. The terms. it is believed, will embody certain attractive fea- lures which were lacking in the An o-F'rench undertaking. Easier tend encies were shown by sterling and francs in the days quotations for for eign exchange and marks were slight ly frmer.
 Trading in bonds were relatively re- 1 stricted, with an irregular undertOne. Total sales, par value, $3,325,000.

EASTERN OWNERS MAY
 SELL SOME PLAYERS
Several Have Big League Prospects
 On Their Payroll.

Eastern league club managers are now on the anxious seat. They are in hopes of selling some of their play CTS in order to recover some of their big losses for the season. There are few players in the Eastern league who look like big league prospects and the owners lucky enough to have these players on their payrols may get back some of their money.
 There as less than a month during which time the majors can buy minor league players, and then comes the drafting days, when minor leaguers are picked up for the regulation draft price. Optional agreements by big league clubs must be exercised on or before Aug. 18th, and the sale of player by a minor league club is pro- hibited after Aug. 26th. The sale of player to major league club within 20 days of the close of the minor league clubs season is also prohibited.
 For some time the big league club scouts have visited the different minor league parks and looked over the youngsters in action They make their reports to the club managers and in case their players are not bought out
