FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS UNSETTLED
Early Session Was Dull, but Sharp
 Rallies Came Before the Close.

New York, June 29.-Further un- settlement in speculative conditions chara cterized the first half of today's dull and professional trading, with sharp and very substantial rallies be- fore the close.
 Motor shares, utilities and many minor specialties represented the chief elements of weakness, and rails also gave way moderately in the absence of developments regarding the freight situation. Much of the belated recov cry resulted from short covering in such leaders as the steels and equip ments, which were supported on re- ports indicating an adjustment of gov ernment prices. U. s. Steel made an extreme advance of 1-2 points from it's minimum of 12S and closed vir tually at the top with a net gain of a point.
 Independent steels and related shares rebounded from their early re- versals of ? to points. with pro- nounced strength in Crucib.e and Lackawanna, Baldwin Locomotive and Republic Iron. Coppers, shippings and the more volatile specialize were responsive to relaxed pressure, and motors in some instances made up the greater part of their severe losses.
 Industrial Alcohol maintained it's reputation for irregularity, at one pe- riod showing a loss of more than three points, which was reversed to
 
 Gas and General Motors were among the other cratic issues in which ma teriaI declines gave way to substan- tial net advances.
 Losses in rails ranged from 2 IA points in Delaware and Hudson to a point or more in Union Pacific, South ern Pacific. Northern Pacific, Balti- more and Ohio, New York Central and Southern Railway preferred. Recov cries in this group were nominal To- tai sales amounted to 670,000 shares.
 A new low price of P 1-2 for ru- bles reflected the mixed news regard ing Russian affairs. Francs shaded a trifie, but other European remittances were unaltered. Transfer of about s6, FOG, 900 gold to San Francisco, en- route to Japan, excited little attention.
 Bonds were irregular. with @ sale of Liberty Bonds at the new premium of 100 $50. Total sales of bonds, par value were s2,e35, ,0O0
 U. S. bonds were unchanged on call.

to be resumed at a majority of the Eastern universities next autumn. it is generally conceded that prevailing conditions will be vastly different from those governing sport at these institutions in recent years. To some extent new regulations will be necessary. and number of close fol- lowers of Varsity athletics are of the opinion that the time Is oppoftune for certain deforms in both the spirit and play of the game.
 This belief has been voiced in several localities and in some eral revival of Intercollegiate sport is held out for the next few months. An editorial in the Harvard Alumni Bulletin touches upon this point in a manner which may be said to be typi- cal of other leading institutions in the East. which in part is as follow:
 Although optimistic articles about the early renewal of intercollegiate athletics have been printed lately, there are no indications that condi- tions at Harvard next fall will be es- sentially different from those which now exist.
 the amount of attention which the undergraduates wish to give to military training. The intensive work now carried on by the Reserve Off, cers' Training corps takes practically the whole time of all it's members, and such a schedule next year will make 1t impossible for the students to par ticlpate in intercollegiate athletics or even in competition which might be confined to the members of the uni versity.
 If however, military training is reduced next year to a minimum. the interest in athletics may revive suf- hciently to bring about informal con- tests with other colleges. The de- Velopment of teams, under such cir cumstances, must begin from the very bottom. Almost all of the prominent athletes have gone away from Cam. bridge and are in the training camps the aviation squads, the Naval Re serve, the ambulance corps, or some other branch of service in prepara- ton for or participation in the war; few, if any, of them will return to college in the autumn, and their places on the football eleven and the other teams must be filled by new and inexperienced men.
 Such a condition of things would not be wholly disadvantageous, for it might tend to change the atmosphere Tn which intercollegiate athletics have been fostered. There has been no peace in the minds of many enthusi- asts without victory This is the professional rather than the amateur attitude toward competitive sport. The loss of it would be a positive gam"

 What a bizarre year in intercollegi- ate athletics. In it's beginnings there was promise of more and better com petition than ever before. Football was full of surprises and the long en- joyed prestige of the larger university teams had many a jolt. When that games and sports, which were a few years back, confined almost entirely to intercollegiate games in basketball as the closed season. for college ath- letfcs. But in the past decade change has come over the undergraduate Snow and ice, instead of driving boys indoors, where it was hoped they gave their time to study, has called to them with a new appeal.
 Dartmouth, with it's week of winter carnival, has been at the head of this movement and we now find the winter months full of outdoor interest to all college men. There was basketball, to be sure. with hockey, soccor, swim ming and fencing stimulants but those educational institutions farova ply situated had a gay round of 1t on skates, skis, taboggans and snow shoes. All the while forces were be- ing mustered for the spring drive in track, baseball and rowing, with in terest at high point in these major branches of athletics for one or more causes.

SPORTING NOTES

Why are the Braves so far down In the race? Ask Fred Mitchell.
 With Jake Daubert on the hos pltal list the Robins could use Fred Me=kle just now.
 The Waco champions certainly are living up to their name in the Texas league pennant scramble
 When the game is called on account of rain, be happy. Doesn't it make a fine afternoon to play pinochIe?
 The Yankees have a chance to take second place from the Red Sox before they leave Boston next Monday night. Cullop is getting his bumps more frequently than last year. He lacks his old fast ball.
 Ray Fisher should be worked regu- larly by Manager Donovan. The big pitcher needs plenty of strenuous ex- ercise.
 After the series with the Braves in New York the Giants visit Brook lyn for an important series which will include two games on July 4.
 Clark Griffth's washingtons are the Yankees guests in New York on the Fourth, morning and afternoon.
 Connie Mack believes that Joe Du- gan, the Holy Cross second baseman will supplant GroveN in the Athletics infeld
 The Washingtons need severa! good hitters out of the second division if the expect to improve their standing.
 Of what use is Wheezer Dell to the Champion Robbins? He hasn't pitched a winning game for more than a year.
