FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET FAIRLY STEADY
A Few Leaders Fell Back One to Tw
 Points on War Bulletins.

New York, April 17.-1n the face of early disheartening news, today's stock market yielded comparatively little ground, again proving its sold-out condition. A few leaders fell back one to two points. but this was partly neutralized by gains of one to 1-2 points among the inactive specialties.
 The war bulletins were the most di- rect market influence, but the British political situation and a slackening in the Liberty loan drive were among the other adverse factors.
 Large earnings reported by the In ternational Paper Company made that stock the favorite vehicle of bullish speculation at an extreme advance of , IA points.
 Short covering was less of factor than on the previous day, but the weakness of the bear position was again apparent, especially in war shares and associated issues. U. S. Steel made an extreme decline of 1 3-8 at the outset, recorded full recovering at the intermediate period and closed unchanged at 91 3-4. Read ing also rallied with other, investment shares. a moderate upward movement accompanying the active final deal ings. Sales amounted to $40, 600 shares.
 Lower quotations for short time funds and a reaction in Spanish ex- change were the only features of the domestic and foreign money markets. Bonds were heavy, Liberty issues yielding slightly with industrials and foreign war f1otations. Total sales, par value, aggregated $S,725,OOO.
 U. s. bonds. old issues, were unal- tered on call.

be said of the defense. The infelders have a strong tendency to stand on nickeP' while playing and at times the outheld reminds one of a seive with very large meshes. Counihan held his opponents to three stolen bases but his throws lacked their bull letlike accuracy of last season. Some of this at least is due to the slow de- livery of the pitcher. Meek is fair pitcher and should develop as the sea son goes on. Brassil showed mid sea son form on the key y-stone sack, field ing coupe of bad throws like a sec ond Hal Chase. He is the only in fielder who can brag of an errorless game Mcknight put up a good game but was unfortunate in having some bad throws from the plate. He shone with the stick. Ringland is young but should develop. He must learn to cover more ground. Sayles at third played hard position in fine style be- sides doing some good work with the old war-club. The outfield to judge from it's work yesterday needs lots of practice especially on ground balls.
 During the last half of the game several Academy rockies made their debut as ball players. Campbell, Haney and Young should make the reg ultI OuI llclQClo lluolAO u AAOlo bAACAA
 berths as they all have a good batting eye Frank Crowell held Meek in good
 style but did not seem to be able to
 fool the batters as they hit Meek hard during the inning he filled Caps shoes However this may or may not have been his fault as Meek was hit
 freely during the entire game. Talk en as a team the Academy should
 make the other school teams in the vicinity hustle to prevent them hold
 ing up an unbroken series of victories at the end of the season.

Norwich bulletin., 1918-04-18

The Academy opened the season with 8 victory Wednesday afternoon at the expense of Jack Flynn's Shore Line team. The contest was replete in err TOTS but in spite of that most of the runs came in as the result of good solid clouts. The runs were very plentiful, the Academy collecting 32 while the carmen only found Meek's delivery for [.
 The game started off in good shape and for six and a half innings looked like a regular game Tn the seventh however, the school boys got busy and landed on A. Clish and Warrington for z runs. In the eight inning fourteen N. F. A. men went to the plate be- fore a single out was chalked up against them. After the carmen got two outs in the eighth inning with Hooker weakening and no one to re- lieve him except the bat boy or Gene ral Manager Cain. Manager Jack Flynn threw up the sponge and bade his lusty warriors cease from being slaughtered.
 The Shore Line went out one two three in the first. while the Academy put across three runs as the result of infield errors and a two base clout by Sayles. The carmen scored their first run in the second and followed it with another in short order. Both runs were more due to errors in both the out and infieid rather than poor work by Meek. although in this inning as all through the game Meek was hit hard He was however. fairly steady in the pinches The Academy scored three more tallies in their half of the frame due to infield errors and clean double by Counihan. s The third inning failed to net the Shore Line anything although Loven- bury smashed out nice double, but died at third. Ringland the first Academy man up doubled nicely and scored on Brewers clean single. The Shore Line crew had a batting bee air the fourth. Manager Flynn started the ball with a screaming two bagger | but Jack being more obese than in the days when he starred for the Westerly l teams had to call for a runner Bar.

Shift the Spotlight.

Europe abounts in opportunities; en-
perors, kings, grand dukes, field mar
shals, admirals, generals, princes
the operative tenors Of feudalism. Such
figures are the happy hunting ground Of
romantic novelists. They are picturesque
it is true. They appeal to our appetite
for story, to our eye for drama. But
it is well to remind ourselves of their
actual unimportance.
To begin with, a king is only a straw
man for the big landowners and other
exploiters who put him forward for the
multitude to obey, He is merely the
symbol of economic domination. How
expensive a luxury he is the world has
just had most horrible example. The
instant the masses cease to obey him he
is utterly unimportant except as pos
sible nucleus for counter-revalution The
people are all that give these figures
significance, and the people can with
draw that significance.
Romantic literature has so befuddled
our heads with the glamour of kingshp
that even in this hour of utter dissilu
sionment over the most execTate6 king
in all history we find ourselves following
details of his daily regime with an in
terest which too often excludes the sub
iects and the issues which are really
vital, and are especially so at time
like this. .....
The last chapter, the, fifth act, of these
royal and military puppets may be di.
verting but they are now only a side
show, while the performance in the main
tent is becoming every minute more ur-
gent to watch and to understard--Bo
ton Globe.
