If average quality fresh eggs are
selling on the market for 35 cents per

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS UNEASY.
At Opening Many Stocks Declined I've
 to Five Points.

New York. June 1.-The market ex- perienced a nervous chill in the early stages of today's session because of the circulation of alarming rumors- grow ing out of the temporary closing of the port of New York and the sinking of American sailing vessels. Stocks open ed with an irregular tone, many issues declining two to five points on exten- sivo selling.

On the re- bound of the late hour. when virtual ly all losses were restored. Steel rose to 131 3-S and closed at 130 1-2. a net gain of 5-8 point, allowing for it's ex- dividend of 1-2 points.
 Numerous other industrials, especial ly equipments and munitions, register ed equal recessions and advances, final quotations showing vast majority of gains.
 A few stocks were conspicuous for their consistent strength and support. American Smelting made an extreme advance of 5-8 points to III, Ameri- can Sugar added 4 1-2 to it's substan- tial rise of recent days. and Industrial Alcohol again featured the high pric- ed specialties at a gross gain of 3-S points, nearly all of which was sur rendered on profit-taking.

WHY WAGNER GOT
 OUT OF BASEBALL
Report Because His Salary Was Re-
 duced to $8ooo.

The inside story of Hans Wagner's retirement, according to an eastern writer, is. that Wagner quite because he was unified because Barney Drey- fuss reduced his salary for 1917. Wag- ner's 1916 contract called for SIC, 900. Dreyfuss wanted to cut the wages for the season down to $o,b00-not 10 S8, 900. as commonly reported. Drey- fuss. so the story goes, decided upon $5, 300, so that Wagner, despite the cut, would continue to be highest paid man on the team. Carey and Nam aux each getting S5,O00.
 Dreyfuss intimated to Wagner late last season that he was going to cut his sa ary in line with the general 1917 economy plan. And right then and there Wagner was hurt. He did not make any real complaint to Drey- fuss at the time, but let it be under stood that if Dreyfuss attempted to carry through his plan it would mean good bye to Wagner as a major lea que star.
 Wagner asserts the writer's in formant, wasn't so much peeved be- he was over Dreyfuss treatment Wagner has been the greatest draw ing card that the Pirates ever had and one of the best in the National league By his own great playing for 20 years he drew hundreds of thous- ands of fans into the ball parks. And as a reward Dreyfuss decided to cut him s4, 500 a year.
 It is understood the National lea que has been paying half of Wagner's salary for a number of years. So it cost Dreyfuss only $5. 900 year to retain one of the greatest ball players of all time.
 It Is understood that had Dreyfuss given Wagner the option of accepting S5,50o year or his unconditional re-

STAR ATHLETES TO DO
 THEIR BIT FOR u. S..
Amateurs Responding to EnIistments
 More Ready Than Professionals.

The records of enlistment for war service up to the present indicate that the amateurs are responding more readily to Uncle Sam's call for fight ing men than are the professional athletes. Among those already enlist ed are many stars in football, tennis, polo, swimming and rowing, and also many famous performers on the track and in the field. After the close of the college season the number will probably receive a large increase.
 A number of Harvard athletes, both the colors. The sensational work of Charlie Brickley, Sam Felton. Ken Parsons and Trafford Hicks on the grldiron few years ago is still fresh in the memory of all followers of the Crimson athletics All four of the old grldlron warriors are members of Hervard's army unit.
 J. Howard Berry, the PentathIon winner and Pennsylvania's most fla nous athlete, has joined the army aviation corps.
 Clarence J. Griffin, who with Will liam Johnston holds the national dou@ bles tennis championship. is among those who have entered the training camp at Plattsburg
 Another champion, Ted Meredith, the worlds champion middle distance winner, has volunteered for the flying corps. Joe Higgins, of the best quaFter- -milers in the country, has vol unt3ered with Meredith.
 Michael McDermott, national cham pion breast stroke swimmer and three times winner of the Mississippi valley. marathon, has joined the aviation corps of the navy.

 Andy Kelly of Holy Cross college, who holds the New England intercoi- legiate records for the 100 and 220- yard runs. has enlisted in the army
 Devereux Milburn, one of America s most celebrated polo players and d contestant in several of the ir terna . tional matches. has joined Water bury cavalry orga niZation. Milburn was a member of the American poo team that went to England in 1909 and won the International trophy,
 Laurens jSpike) Schull. noted ath- Iete of Chicago university, has en- listed for service a the officers train ing, camp at Fort Sheridan. Schull was captain and pitcher of the Ma room baseball team and all-Western tackle in 1915.
 No fewer than 13 members of the 1916 football squad at the University of Minnesota have responded to the call for service. Mauser, captain of this years team. is a member of the Iowa National Guard. Gray joined the Marine Corps. Sinclair signed up with an ambulance corps for service in France, and Van Nest and Ander- son have taken up intensive farminE. Eight other members of the Gophet eleven have enlisted for the officers reserve training camps.
 Paul Taylor, captain of last years football team at Lafayette college. is taking the course in the officers train ing camp at Fort Mia gara.
 This is only a partial list of the ath- leteS who were among the first to re- spond to tfc call of the nation. It is sufficient, however. to show that the amateurs, and particularly the col legians, have not been lax in respond ing to the call for service. No better evidence is needed of the patriotism of the amateur athletic fraternity.

COMISkEY THINKS
 SCHALK THE BEST ONE.
Ray the Equal of Anyone Who Ever
 Wore a Glove.

Several reasons why the White Sox should win the flag this year may be mentioned" writes Charles A. Comis- key, president of the club 'One of these is Ray SchaIk. This young man undoubtedly is the greatest backstop of the day, and the equal of any one who ever wore a glove. Yes. and he's the peer of any of the timers who didn't wear the spangles. There is nothing too difficult for this young catcher to attempt, and that is the es- sential thing that makes him a tower of strength to the Sox. In all the qualities that go to make up an ideal receiver Schalk eXcels He possesses baseball instinct
 Did you ever notice Scha.k start after a foul fly that went into the stands? Steel and concrete alone pre- vented him from making such d catch Alert for every chance. Schalk is wonderful help to pitcher, and there fore the entire team
 The question has been put to me many times: Who was the grea atest catcher of the early days of baseball? Buck Ewing in my opinion topped the list For all ronnd ability he was in class by himself He combine the qualities of q great batsman with that of a wonderful receiver. He pos sessed an accurate throwing arm and was alert to fed the ball in the pinches-
 "SchaIk possesses all the qualities that made Ewing stand out among the giants of the early days. Ray is younger than Ewing when this old timer was at the height of his fame. In agility and his ability to grasp a situation at a glance Schalk has had no equal. He also is a corking good batsman in a pinch, has an excellent throwing arm. and there never has lived his equal for nerve in the tight places-a quality indispensable in m jOr league catcher.
 We always feel safe when Schalk
