REvIEWOF MAJOR LEAGUE ILL TEAMS
Boston Retains Lead in American League-New York Has Climbed Into First Place in the NatonaI-There Was Some Good Individual Batting in Both Leagues-Unfav- orable Weather Conditions Caused Postponement of Eighteen Games

New York, June 3.-Whi1e Boston still leads in the American League, New York has climbed into first place in the National.
 The past week also saw the Chicago Nationals and the New York Ameri- cans fall behind in the races for lead ership. Rainy weather again caused many games to be postponed in both leagues, eighteen contests being put over for more favorable playing con ditions.
 Up to Wednesday only one sched- uled game had been played in the Ma tional League and on Monday, for the first time in several years. there was not game played in either of the major organizations.
 New York regained the lead in the National Wednesday by defeating Philadelphia in both of the holiday games. Moran's men made only nine hits in the two games. McGraw's club began it's long road trip Friday by taking the first game from St. Louis, 2 to 1, and on Saturday beat the Car dinals to 1 through good box work by Benton.

this is no time for consideration of the sport and that valuable as 1t may be in developing the men and putting them in shape for the rigors of war there are camp exercises and physical training for which no special handl- ing is required, possible in the mill tary training camps.
 Before Captain Art Gates left New Haxen for Pensacola with the Yale flying unit he said that he had not even considered the possibility of play ing football this season and none of the players had any idea of coming back here to take part in games. From all angles it is apparent that how ever much the fans would like to have their minds distracted a little by foot ball this fall there is no chance of seeing their favorite sport here.

ALEXANDER TELLS OF
 HIS PITCHING SYSTEM
Scored 16 Shut Outs During the Last
 Season.

Grover Alexander, who holds the record for the greatest number of shut outs ever won in a season, says he will never pitch another shut out game. At least he makes that odd statement in an article in the June Baseball Magazine, of course. with a few reservations. Among other things Alev, who is the highest salaried man in the National league, puts over the following fast balls and in-shoots:
 "A pitcher is strong for a shut out. I won't deny that I rather like to put over a goose egg score on the enemy myself. There is a certain satisfac- tion in getting the third strike on dangerous batter. There Is still more satisfaction in retiring the side when three men are on the bases. But the thing a, pitcher likes more than any thing else next to no-hit game, Is a shut-out.
 Last year I was pretty fortunate in my shut-out score. I guess I vas too managed to write Is zero signs on the opposition score board. That looks like a good many at this distance. I am not sure that I will ever do the stunt again. I would say it was quite an undertaking, stVlding as I do at the beginning of a season and looking ahead. There are too many sluggers in this league, too many strong teams to make that stunt any bed of roses for a pitcher. And yet it would have looked just as impossible to me last year if I had cared to indulge in any day dreams, and considered the chances of scoring Is shut outs.
 Baseball, of course, is a game of skill But there is enough luck in it to upset all guesses. No. I hadn't banked on anything wonderful last year. I felt all right and intended to

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
SATURDAYS MARKET.
and Heaviness Marked the
 Short Session.

New York, June ?. - Profit taking occasioned by the usual week end closing of outstanding contracts and next Tuesdays holiday probably ac,, counted for the irregularity and heaviness of today's market. The short interest also derived some en- couragement from the further decline in Russian exchange to point ap- preaching its minimum and the de- cision of the interstate commerce commission ordering a suspension for six months of schedules on domestic storage within the limits of New York harbor.
 UnsettIement began with the set back in St. Paul issues. the common recording a gross decline of S-4 points and the preferred 3. The move ment spread to other grangers, also Pacifics, coalers and trunk lines, re-
 Motors were another element of weakness their extreme losses run ming from , to points. while equip ments and shippinGs yielded 1 to 2 points. U. s. Steel fell 1 5-S to 12S 7-S after having sold up to 131 Is. and affiliated shares supplied equal re- actions with sugars.
 Noteworthy exceptions were prov1d- ed by the so-called Mexican group Mexican Petroleum scoring an extreme advance of , points, other oils rising 1 to 1-2 and American Smelling ?, with an average of point for other coppers. Most of these gains were effaced in the heavy offerings of the last. hour. U. s. Rubber retained the greater part of it's IA point rise. but Industrial Alcohol and American Woolen also lost their early advan- tage Total sales amounted to 560,- 900 shares.
 Additional April statements of rail- road earnings were rather mixed Reading showing a material decrease in operating profits due to a very large increase in expenses. A summary of Baltimore and Ohios annual report disclosed a reduction of more than S16000 900 in gross returns.
 A contraction of $19, 560. GOO in actual reserves and a decrease of all most SOS, GOO, GOO in reserves in the local national banks were the strik- ing features of the weekly bank statement. The bond market was ir regular with total sales (par value) eregating S1,230. 900.

Chicago was hampered by bad wea- ther and up to Saturday, when they beat Philadelphia, had taken part in only two games, being victorious in both. New York lost third place for a day during the week but regained it Wednesday by winning two games from Philadelphia, one of which went fifteen innings, while Cleveland was losing two to Detroit. Cleveland had gained third place by defeating De- troit Tuesday to 0 in ten innings while the Yankees were losing both ends of a double header to the Ath- letics.
 Washington had not won a game in two weeks until it defeated St. Louis Saturday. Walter Johnson suffered defeat twice during the week.
 There were some good individual batting in both leagues. Among those having good days with the stick were McInnis, Philadelphia Americans; Heilman and Veach, Detroit Ameri- cans; Lewis and Gardner. Boston Americans: Chase. Groh and Roush, Cincinnati Nationals and Cruise, St. Louis Nationals.

do my best. But had no pipe dreams about any little thing like a broken record when I entered the grand old game last April.
 Perhaps that explains my good luck. The chances are, if I had tried Co ar- complish anything out of the ordinary 1 wouldn't have done so well Tn fact. 1 will lay this down as a rule I have grand old game. The fellow who does the best is the fellow who goes on the firing line without any intention of doing anything unusual He is merely determined to do his best and lets it go at that. If he tries Co ler out a few reefs he will get nervous and fall all over himself. Keep your head, use your head, and plug awa-. That is about all that can be said on the subject.
 ITO show how little worked for record last year I will say that ! did not even know when the previous rec ord was. Coombs, they tell me, pltcn- ed l3 shut outs one season with rna Athletics and was high man. Last year I managed to better that mark by three. But 1t wasn't premeditated- I didn't realize I was breaking any record at the time.
 "A wise pitcher saves his arm He makes that one of his main objects iu life. Of course there are plenty of times when he can't do this some times he has to put every ounce of SLuI ne HdS On LildL lANkl1 DlA hntAr Al.AH he wouldn't be able 10 call up the necessary strength to do this if he had not made it his policy to save his strength.
 'I had to use up a lot Of energy in order to get those shut outs. But in most cases had no choice. The Eame7 were tight. I couldn't afford to al- low the opposition any leeway. I had to pitch full speed all the way through in order to be sure Of winning.
 But that's all ancient history now. haven't any ambitions this year eU- cept to do my best work and earn the salary the club is paying me. 4 shut out doesn't dent the records any more than a game won by the score Of 6 to 5. This was my initial performance this season. It was a victory and that is the only thing that counts A victory is a victory and whether it was a goose egg or not doesn't make any difference. I will let any club in fha league have five runs any day I am pitching if they will let me have six. It's a good bargain. If the other seven clubs in the league will agree to it will agree not to pitch another shut out as long as I live"

NO FOOTBALL IN
 NEW HAVEN THIS FALL
Absolutely No Chance. of Staging the Game During Duration of the War.

The recent agitation in college cir cles for a resumption of athletics at the different institutions about the country and the announcement that Cornell intends to resume sports In the fall have tended to create the be- lief in many circles that football may be possible this autumn at Yale and that the fans will see some of the kicking game when the season rolls around. In some quarters the feeling is very strong that Yale acted hastily in the matter of dropping sports and that a start on resurrecting the sports programme will be made soon.
 Just why these reports gain so much ground cannot be told especially in the face. of so many official state ments oA- ly to the contrary by those qualified to speak at Yale and for Yale. Not long ago a busy cor respondent attempted to create inter est enough to stage a Yale Harvard baseball championship series but the Yale authorities sat upon the idea in short order.
 As regards the possibility of football it can be stated upon the highest au- thority that there is absolutely no chance of staging the game this fall or that matter during the duration of the war. At present the feeling among those qualified to speak is that

Chicago stopped at Pittsburgh on Memorial Day on the way home to meet eastern invasion and divided two games with the Pirates. Meet ing Brooklyn on Friday, the Cubs played listlessIy and lost, to 4. Chi cago on Saturday, however, beat the champions to 8. Earlier in the week Brooklyn had lost two games to Boston, both being shutouts. The winning streak of the Boston Ameri- cans was stopped at ten straight Fri day when Cleveland shut them out, to o, through the good pitching of Morton, who allowed only one hit. The Indians repeated the shutout perform ance Saturday when Ragby pitched them to a. to 0 victory. The stop ping of the Champions and the sue cess of Chicago during the week cut down the lead of Barry's men, who are now on their home lot to meet the western invasion.

It was a pitchers battle until the Sth when the Moosup team opened up a batting rally and scored three runs. s= Bagley pitching for Moosup was the master of the situation at all times, holding his opponents to three hits. Of the strong team Moosup had two wears ago four of the old players are hack. LaBeIle, Geer, Houlil1an and Da- cigneau.
