 War and semi-war shares registered extreme declines of to points with prominent industrials, metals, mo- tors, oils, shippings and rails. The less specific specialties, with fe wex- captions, fell away in sympathy.
 United States Steel, which again changed hands in many large individ- ual blocks, fiuctuated between 116 7S and IA 1-2. closing at the minimum. a net reversal of 3-S points. Beth lehem Steel new stock also closed at it's lowest quotation of 133 1-2. a loss of 4 1-2 points.

STOCK IS WELCOMED
 AT PHILLIES, CAMP
Third 5aseman and outfieIder Whitted Expected to Sign Their Contracts Today.


 Milton Stock arrived in the Phillies' camp rather unexpectedly Sunday ey- enfns. It was known that Stock was on the way but it was figured that he would come in on the morning train with George Whitted, one of the oth- ed by the members of the Phi1iies, and also shook hands cordially with Man ager Moran.
 The latter had a talk with Presi- dent Baker, of the PhiIlies who is at Belleair. over the long-distance tele- phone shortly after Stock arrived The indications are that Stock will sign his contract without much further ar gument. As Whitted is looked for in the afternoon. it is probable that Manager Moran will have all his play CTS on the field tomorrow afternoon, with the exception of Bert Niehoff.
 IT the Ph1ll1es could not play ball any better than they can fish they would be regular "bush leaguers.' Nearly all of them were away from the Edgewater Inn shortly a<ter o. clock this morning. About all that their days toll with rod and line were a couple of mackerel and one kingfish. Moran and Captain Luderus took their time about getting up. Instead of fol- lowing the others into the Gulf of Mexico. Pat and Luderus remained in Tampa Bay, where they landed twen- ty fine sea trout.
 Alexander and Killefer, who were with Cravath and Dugey on a slow motorboat, got as far as Johns Pass on their return trip when their mo- tor went dead. They drifted back into the Gulf of Mexico, and another boat that saw their plight lowed them back to land. This will be the Phiilies' last week here, and Moran is expected to crowd on the work

Pat Moran Will Supply Gene MeCann
 With Surplus Players.

Pat Moran has been welding his pruning knife on the surplus material in the Phi1lies' camp. and. as a result several members of the squad who have been getting into shape for the last two weeks have been relegat- ed to the minor league ranks for more schooling This does not mean that Manager Moran has cut these players adrift for good as he believes more than one of them will be ready for the big show with another years experience.
 Tom Haggerty, the young infield- CT who went south at his own expense to show Manager Moran his ability, with the hope of being placed with his home in Brooklyn last night. It was expected Haggerty would go to the New London club of the Eastern association which is owned by Morton F. Plant. the railroad king, and man aged by Gene McCann a close friend of Moran. The New London club will get several of the Phillies this year, but as McCann already has a second baseman and shortstop under con- tract there was no place for Haggerty. The youngster may be placed later recruit who was drafted from the Portsmouth club of the Virginia league, and Lefty" Craig, a semi pro pitcher. picked up last fall in the west, will be sent to New London, but Moran will have string on them and they will very ligely return to the Phillies in the fall.

BASEBALL RULES UNCHANGED.
Clubs Managers See No Real Reason
 for Proposed Changes.

Despite all the talk of changing the playing rules of baseball, there will be no tampering with the regulations gov erning the national pastime this year. Numerous suggestions for reforms, eS = pecially alterations in the code calcu-
 lated to increase batting and run scoring, have been advanced this win ter by magnateS as well as players and fans, but Ban Johnson disapproves, and that settles it. His reasons are simple and to the point.
 Johnson is of the opinion these real ly is no insistent demand anywhere for a greater volume of slugging- than has been in evidence in recent years but holds that if there were it could be supplied simply by the use of a livelier ball, without recourse to tinkering with the rules.
 Except for few clubs whose of- fensive strength has been sadly below the usual major league standard" Johnson says, "1 can find no especially ardent advocates of a readjustment of the balance between the pitchers and the batters in favor of tn chatter. Most of the fans, I believe, are pretty well satisfied to let things stand just as they are, and all the managers in the American league are very much op- rules that would lay a heavier handi- cap on the pitchers than they already carry.
 If, however, it ever should be de- cided that more and heavier hitting would improve the game, from the spectators viewpoint, the object de- sired could very easily be attained by adding a little more rubber to the core of the ball. With a 1ivelier mis- siIe in use batting averages would jump anywhere from 10 to 20 pounds and, prespmably, run scoring would increase Tn direct ratio to the rise in Some of the ball players I believe, have expressed a fear that the use of a livelier ball would ex- pose the inf1elders to grave danger of serious injury, but I do not recall that many of them were greatly damaged

To dodge a ten-pound piece Of tile

that was small matter.
To attempt to drive an automobile
