New York, June 7.-Subject to per sistent proft-taking which became too strong in the later dealings to be ig- nored, today's extremely active mar ket registered further general ad vances, especially among the indus trials. The character of the trading was of such exceptional breadth as to heighten the impression of growing public participation

United States Steel maintained it's leader ship, rising ? 3-4 to 134 Is, this being equal, adding recent dividends of ing it's previous maximum by 1 3-4 points.

 Other conspicuously strong indus trials and specialties, all of which yielded to later pressure, included oils shippings. feathers and metals. Mo tors displayed temporary improve nent, but fell away at the end Rails failed to throw off their recent leth- argy. except for relative strength in the Pacif1cs, Reading, Louisville and Nashville and a few minor issues
 A new low record of 25 for Russian exchange, concurrent with further heaviness of Russian government bonds, excited little interest. rubles improving slightly in the latter part of the session.
 Most of the days call money was placed around 4 per cent, and stiff CT tendency was shown for time ac- conmodations. For the first time in several weeks no exports of gold were reported.

There seems little likelihood in deed that Princeton, Yale or Harvard
 will be represented by varsity foot ball elevenS this fall There Is pros pect that the three may decide to do something in the way of intercol- Aegtate athletics among themselves, but this amounts to nothing more than a tendency, says Laurence Per ry in the New York Post
 In any event, there is no prospect at all that any of the three universi- ties will attempt to carry out the schedules which have been arranged. This is not due to disinclination, but to what promises to be sheer inabil ity to form teams which would be in any way worthy to represent the pres tige not only of the three institutions, wrong there seems to be no inten- tfon at New Haven, Cambridge, or Princeton of knocking together elev- ems simply for the sake of being rep resented on the football gT1d1ron Il the fall

ARTHUR CHAMBERS FIRST
 TO CLAIM LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE
Has Changed Hands Eleven Times
 Since 1872.

The acquisition of the lightweight title by Benny Leonard as a result of his recent knockout victory over Freddy Welsh adds the eleventh name to the undisputed list of champion ship holders in this class since 1872. Arthur Chambers was the first of lightweight bare knuclxle pugilists to establish his claim to the premier po- sition in this class when he defeated Billy Edwards in Canada, September 4. 1872. Chapters is generally ac- corded the title until 1884 when he retired and was succeeded by Jack Dempsey. The latter soon grew too heavy and advanced to the welter- weight division, being succeeded in turn by Jack McAuliffe. He reigned supreme until 1893 when he retired undefeated. being the last of the light weight champions to lay aside the gloves without a blenish upon his rec ord
 Kid Lavigne then took up the title and it was not until 1899 that Frank Erne wrested the honors from Lavigne in a twenty round battle at Buffalo. Some three years later Joe Cans knocked out Erne in a round and for six years was generally conceded the

 championship although Jimmy Britt also claimed it when Cans would not make the weight for him after he had stopped Erne in seven rounds. In the meantime Battling Nelson was rapid ly gaining prominence in the division and after defeating Britt challenged Cans He lost the first battle on foul in the 42nd round but followed with two knockout victories over the negro and was hailed undisputed title holder
 Nelson's reign lasted two years, the Dane losing to Ad Wolgast on Feb ruery 22, 1910. at the end of forty rounds of vicious fighting when he was both blind and helpless but still on his feet and the referee stopped the battle to save him from further punishment. On November 2s. 1912, Willie Ritchie won from Wolgast on a foul in the sixteenth round. Some two years later Ritchie went to Lon die Welsh at the end of a twenty round bout on the referees decision. Welsh staved off defeat for three years and it was not until his third ten round battle with Leonard that he was forced to give up the cham pionship.
 Not including Leonard's record it will be seen that in forty five years there have been just ten undisputed titleholders and that the average of time of championship possession has been about four and a half years. Chambers, the first of the chain, is generally conceded to have held the honor with but little opposition for a period of 12 years. McAuliffe had an absolutely clear claim to the title for eight years and was followed in point of duration by Lavigne and Cans. The first three champions retired or out grew the class but after McAuliffe's time the title passed from holder to

Hans Wagner Played First.

Pittsburgh, Pa, June Hans Wag ner made his first appearance of the base, but poor pitching by Mamaux caused the home team to lose, to 3 to Brooklyn. The veteran shortstop in four times up was thrown out three times by the second baseman, but sim sled the fourth time, driving in a run and was out at second trying to stretch his hit into a double. The league champions hit Mamaux hard in the first three innings after which he was replaced by Grimes, who later gave way to Carlson. In one inning the eighth, was Pittsburgh able to make hits count.

Nevertheless and notwitkstandinu all which, the stubborn fact remains that the easy and safe thing is not al ways either the right or the true thing. Nor is the popular thing al ways the wise thing It very often happens that those with better brai,:s or with brains under better contrib than the average, gain great advan- tages simply by obeying their own brains and not the added contents of others skulls. They win out, not by following the current but by cutting across it: not by accepting some one else's price but by themselves as- seSsing a true value.
