the manufacture of cloth from the

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS IRREGULAR.
Extreme Declines in Active Stocks Ran
 from Two to Almost Ten Points.

New York, June 2S-Although mon etary conditions continued to relax, and the first large payment on the Liberty loan was made without dis turbance, today's stock market experi- enced a very irregular session of inn paired prices attributed mainly to technical influences. For the first time in more than a fortnight, call loans opened under per cent, and time money showed increased supply.
 The weakened position of numerous speciaIties, notably motors and utili- ties, and renewed concern regarding the attitude of the government tow ards war prices and taxes, impelled further liquidation and considerable short selling. Extreme declines in ac tive stocks ran from two to almost ten points, depression extending to minor specialties of no specific classification.
 Popular industria.s, such as United States Steel, Bethlehem Steel and kin dred issues, were carried down one to three points on the movement, which was at it's height in the final hour, when support was lacking except at marked concessions. Final quotations were at or near lowest figures.
 Especial points of weakness included Studebaker common and preferred. Chandler and General Motors at gross reversals of 1-2 to points. Industrial Alcohol, which made a precipitate drop of to 150, Ohio Gas 6 1-4, Brooklyn Union Gas II 1-2 to 105 on a single safe, Wilson Company 4 1-2, Interna- tiona1 Paper 5 1-2, Mating preferred 5, Distillers Securities 2 1-2. Texas Com pany 3, and Mexican Petroleum 3-4
 Rails, coppers, shippings, Central Leather and tobaccos held relatively better than most other shares but av- eraged losses of one to two points on moderate offerings. Total sales amounted to 790, 900 shares.
 Favorable May statements submitted by Union Pacific and Baltimore and Ohio, the prosperous industrial Condi- tions indicated in the annual report of the American Car and Foundry Com pany and the May foreign trade ex- hibit seemed to exert no influence.

 Benny went on to trace his gradual ascent up the adder an recounred the battles he had fought with the cham pions of Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth streets, and he was always victorious and then the Leiner family moved up to The Bronx, and with the change in residence came the change in Benny Leiner's name.
 Benny was about 15 when he moved northWard to Kelly street. and one or the heroes he worshipped devoutly was a certain Kid. Herman, a third rate boxer at the local clubs. One night toward the end of 1911, Herman was fighting at Billy Gibson's F-airmounr 4. C. and Benny Leiner and some or his little pals made up their minds t0 see the bout-free.
 Half a dozen of them were pressfn 6 close up against a side window Of the clubhouse to get a better view Of Her man in action. when suddenly the win 70 dow gave way and Benny and his friends crashed through and into the clubhouse.
 Gibson, who had been annoyed be- fore by such boyish pranks. made a dive for the scared bunch and grab bed the one nearest to him. IL was a lucky grab, for the boy who struz- gled in Gibson's grip was Benny Lein- eri alias Benny Leonard, coming light weight champion.
 Retaining his hold on the seat os Benny's pants, Gibson said. '.Tha- uO you want 70 break the window e for? If you wanted to see the fight. why didn't you come around to the gate? What do want. anyway T want to fight" said Benny Lseir- CT which same remark has been made before, but never with more earnest ness.
 ''Who did you ever Hck2" from Gfb- son.
 T beat up every kid on my block and I can lick a lot Of those fellow in, To condense history Gibson finally agreed to put Benny on the following week in a four-round preliminary bout with with one Mickey Finnesan.

 Leonard made good so ra pidly that ne was soon boxing in the main bouts Joe Shugrue and Frankie Fleming were the only two boys to defeat Leonard-Shu grue fin March 1912 and Fleming in June. 1913. Both fghrg were stopped by the referee 70 save Benny from knockout-aud Leonard admits it.

HOW LEONARD STARTED.
Broke in Fight Game When About IS
 Years Old.

How much is it? One, two. three four. five. and five are ten. and ten makes twenty dollars. When do you fight again, Benny"
 Such was the partial scolding that Benny Leonard, the new lightweight champion fighter of the world, re- ceived from his father one night. five years ago, when Benny returned to his East Side home, after boxing Young Cross, a six-round no decision bout in Newark, N. J.. writes Fred Hawthorne one of the New York Tribune sport writers. The boy who was destined die Welsh had won his biggest purse up to that time, $20 in greasy five dollars, it is probable that Benny would have stopped his ring career right then and there and Welsh would still be champion.
 But s2O is s20 even fin the best regulated of lower East Side families, and Father Leiner was anything but a poor business man. From that time on Benny kept on fighting with in creasing regularity and success, until today the most admired object of art in the world in the Leiner home is a portrait of a pair of boxing gloves or anything that savors of the boxing profession.
 Leonard told much when he and Billy Gibson. his manager, and the man who steered him into the cham pionship, dropped, in to have a chat.
 The downy little duckling takes to water without any trouble at all, but not more easily than Benny Leonard took to boxing. When he was be- tween and years old the new champion put up his hands" in i'm promptu bouts with the other kids who lived on the same block at Eighth street and Avenue A.
 Yes. I met them all down there" said Leonard in tracing the early his tory of his fistic career. T was little and skinny and did not have any punch in those days, but I was fast as a streak-I had to be, or get mark ed up by the other boys, who were higger.

 Once more the "GIorious Fourth rolls around, and with it's arrival comes the snapping of torpedoes-the bark of hrecraoGers and many other methods of celebration. And also once more comes the sincere plea of the commonsense reformer for safety and sanity.
 The Spirit of the Fourth is, indeed, hard to curb and justly so For the small boy, yes, even the grown up, must give vent to his pent-up patriot ism. And noise must be inherent with the occasion, else it would not be much of a Fourth.
 While we have no serious complaint to make with things as they are, still one cannot deny the just claims of the safe and sane Fourth advocate. Acci- der<s will happen and the casualty list of the great national holiday often to- tals up into surprising figures.
 On the other hand, instead of trying to curb the celebration tendencies of the vigorous American |. younth this question arises: Why not educate him to a sport which gives zest to the day and adds real recreation to the spirit of the celebration
