New York. June 16.-In the actual
bank statement today reserves de-
creased 14,e6s. 40, loans increased
81. .7z1 900 and demand deposits de.
creased 81, $1,000. The average state
Inent showed q decrease In reserves
OF HQSn lilo, an Increase Of loans
OF S53,s13,000 and a decrease in net de-
mand deposits Of 81, ,SO7 900.
Stocks opened irregular and turned
weak In the Industrial department.
Coal shares were an exception. Cot
ton was up S2 bale from the low.
Motors were firm.
There Is no question that many per-
sons who subscribed IN the liberty
loan have yet 20 sell other securities
In order to make good their agree
ments to take the loan. A period OF
tighter money rates seems assured.
As the Industrial stocks have been
doomed as part Of the liberty loan
manipulation. they being selected be-
cause they responded most easily. II
Is now planned to divert the market
into issues that were neglected dur
ing the drive. The railroads and
Motors are the chief Of these.
Decision on the rate cases In exr
pected. before the end Of the month
and actual work on the construction OF
10000 cars that the government may
provide for the railroads can be begun
now any time for the money IL In

His earnestness impressed the club

SELECTING GREATEST
.SOUTHPAW REAL TASK
No Easy Job to Name Best Left
handler of All Time in
Major Leagues.

Chicago, June 16.-Selecting the
geratest southpaw of all time In big
league endeavor isn't a matter OF
gathering the dope on Babe Ruth
dell. Doc White and the others on
down the list of offhanders who have
made baseball history,
Eddie Plank undoubtedly has built
himself pedestal on which he stands
pretty firmly in class by himself, but
Waddell and White also attained
heights any youngster would be glad
to reach. With wadden II was more
Of a joke than anything else, but his
record is so hne-his ability too pro-
bounced to be left out of a line of
hurlers who have flashed a wonder
It's hardly fair to say that Babe
Ruth is the games greatest left
handler now, and IL Is equally unfair
to say that Ferdie Schupp, of the
Giants, Is entitled to the palm. Ruth
has done remarkably well against Ma
never has had the chance. to show
what he could do against the Ameri-
can League kind. So there is no
chance for comparison.
Doc White was one of the chief rea-
sons for the White Sox championship
in 1906. He and Ed Walsh between
them made the Fielder Jones repu-
tation. When the two of them de-
parted from American League ways
championships among the White Sox
became very, very, scarce.
Waddell picked the Athletics up al
most by his own bootstraps and he
still was going great when he became
a member Of the Browns. His grad
ual decline until be found himself a
Northern Lacquer was just as brilliant.
He never did anything that didn't
sparkle. His eccentricities and utter
disregard Of training rules sent him
to the minors and finally to his grave.
paws should be equally distributed be-
tween Plank and Wsddell, both mem
bers Of the Athletics when in their
prime.

INDIANAPOLIS CLUB
HAS STRONGEST TEAM
Pitching Staff |, Their One Best
Bet.

Indianapolis. Ind, June is.-Frank
Connolly. until recently an umpire In
the American Association, and q good
one. too, said the other day that the
indianapolis Indians, Jack Hendricks {
entries In the a. A. pennant race, are
one OF the strongest minor league
clubs ever gotten together.
Hendricks has built the club up
himself" said Connolly, and in three
years he has gotten bunch OF play
ets together who look Ike sure pen
nant winners IN the league this year.
Only one member Of the club, Reilly,
an outhelder, remains Of the aggrega-
tion Hendricks inherited when he went
70 the Indiana capital with Jimmy Nc
The pitching star Of the Indlanap-
oils Club Is Its strongest point. FIJI
ingim, a youngster. is one OF the best
pitchers I've seen in many a day. Gene
Dale. Rex Dawson, Jake Northrup,
lrv Kantlehner and Clint Rogge make
up the stan. Hendricks also had Fnl-
kenberg, but sold him to the Athletics
and made a good deal for a pitcher
he didn't really need. -
The A. A. is faster this year than
II has ever been before. There are
more good clubs In the league. and
Il is too bad there must be trouble
between the league president and his
club owners. The way look at IL,
wrangling takes much OF the color
out OF pennant race"

LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPS
WIN FROM YOUNGSTER
Leonard Stands Out. as Best Since
Joe Cans Days.

New York. June 16.-Youth has been
served in four Of the last five battles
for the light-weight champiofshiD.
Freddie Welsh alone stands out as
the only lightweight in recent years
who captured the coveted crown from
younger man. and at that Welsh
did not win a clean-cut. decisive vic
tory. He came into possession of the
ennampiorshlp by winning on points.
Benny Leonard, the new king Of the
llght-weights, is q years Of age. He
won the championship from Welsh,
vEo Is 81 years old now.
Welsh captured his title at the age
Of 3, winning from Willie Ritchie in

Nelson also won the title in rhe

And so on, back through the years,
It will be found that on most ocUl-

Leonard, now only q years old, STANDS
out as the most perfect champion de-

He has a greater number Of cham

as far as brains go, he is the possessnr

Cans had.
Nearly all Of the veteran critics who
have written OF Benny Leonard class
him as the wonder-boy OF the ring
and he deserves the high rating that
has tten given him for the most OBJ
YiOus of reasons.
First of all. Leonard Is liow In the

He Is a youthful champion, a cham

for an unusual length of time, even
though he keeps to his promise to meet
all comers.
