STOCK MARKET

New York, May 17.-Opening
NAL conditions prevailed at the open
ing of today's stock market in strik-
ing contrast with yesterdays feverish
excitement. Prices were irregular,
however, suggesting a recurrence of
yesterdays late selling, but changes
were evenly distributed. Shippings
were the strongest features, Marine
preferred soon advancing three points.
United States Steel reacted a point
and Baldwin soon forfeited the great
er part of its early advance of two
points. Ceppers, oils and motors
showed some hesitation. Among rail-
roads Union Pacific was appreciably
stronger,
&oon,---Trading in the first hour re-
solved itself into a contest between
opposing interests as indicated by
United States Steel which f1uetuated
over and under yesterdays final price.
Offerings were readily taken, how
ever, and early losses were. fully re-
covered. Marines continued to lead,

and the preferred 1-3, while the 6

Larry Doyle Out of
Game for Some Time

Cincinnati May 1.-THE Giants in
their quest for the 1918 pennant will
be without the &c rv1ces Of Larry Doyle
for some time to come. Perhaps not
until the latter part of June or the
early weeks of July will the veteran
second baseman with the wide Irish
smile and the keen batting eye be
ready to resume his duties at The key
stone sack. Word was received by
John McGraw yesterday to the effect
that Doyle had undergone an opera
ton for irtestional trouble and in
view OF this it is believed that Larry
will be some time recovering from
the illness which has laid him low.
Doyle became suddenly i'll while
the toem was in Boston a week ago
last Sunday. He had been in the best
of health apparently and the club
physician, who examined him upon
his return to New York a day later,
diagnosed his case as one of malaria
However, Larry did not improve uD-

EXPECT TO RAISE
OVER S35O,OOO IN
RED CROSS DRIVE

The quota for Bridgeport in the
coming Red Cross drive is placed
at 1881, geo, of which but one-quarter
is allowed to be turned over to the
local chapter. The campaign man
ayers are confident that a much larger
sum will be raised The share that
Bridgeport receives goes toward the
expenses incurred by the local chap
ter for buying material for bandages,
sweaters, socks, wristlets, etc Should
onlv the quota be raised another
drive for money would have to be
waged in a few months to raise
enough money to carry on the years
work as the budget of the local chap
ter now calls for $250,000, which
amount WAS expended last year, TO
keep going all of the workers who
have enlisted their help. To save
the work of another campaign, 1t IS
hoped that enough will be raised in
the present drive to keep the local
chapter busy until the next National
drive next spring

Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
By JAMES J. CoRBETr.

Editors Note: This is the second of a series of articles which MT. Corbett is writing concerning the career of the late Frank Gotch, who went to his grave the undefeated heavyweight wrestling cham pfon. of the world. The next installment will appear tomorrow.
 Frank Gotch never forgot the surprise that came to him in Luverne Ia., when he learned that the supposed furniture man he was wrestling was ncne other than i.-ln -Leod, the world s champion among grapplers.
 '"When Mcleod really disclosed his identity I nearly died of fright Gotch told me some years ago. T guess if l had known it was Mcleod I would have been nervous wreck even before the match began But as long as I thought my rival was nothing but an athletic furniture man had no such fear of him and I certainly put up the best battle that was possible"
 It was that match with Mcleod which really started Frank Gotch on the career which led him finally to the absolute crest of the grappling world, because after that match with Gotch Mcleod said to the young Humboldt farmer:
 Young fellow, you don't know very much about the tricks of wrestling, but you certainly are a powerful kid. And you are about the fastest heavyweight ever met If you get busy and learn a few wrestling tricks, you'll certainly make name in the wrestling world in short whle."
 Along in 1899 Martin (.'Farmer") Burns, then one of the topnotch wrestlers of the world, on tour through the middle west, stopped off in Fort Dodge, Iowa. He was meeting all corners among the heavy weights, while the lighter men in his troupe were taking on all corners in the smaller divisions. When Humboldt folks learned that Burns was giving real money to any man he couldn't throw in a lim- tied time they insisted that Gotch take crack at him. And Gotch did.

Gotch was defeated, but he went down
 with his colors flying. When the con
 tea, was over Burns almost reiterated the speech of Mcleod, but Burns went
 a little farther He said:
 T like your style and think that with proper training you ought to be
 great wrestler in three or four more
 years. If you would like to travel through
 with me I will be glad to take you along
 In that way you will get lot of experi- ence and learn a lot about the wrestling game, and whenever I get the chance ; will teach you as many of the tricks as possible"
 Gotch, by this time a wrestling en- ! thdsiast, and confident of his own ability in that line, accepted Burns offer and ioned the troupe, which made swing through the middle west. Gotch, after some tutoring by Burns, was permitted to take on some of the .dub' all-comers and made a splendid showing in every match in which he participated. Grad ualiy his fame began to spread and the wrestling world came slowly to realize that the Humboldt youngster was a "comer."
 In 1oU1 Joe c. Marsh, who now is the
 manager of Martin Plestina, the great | Setyian wrestler, invited Gotch to go with him on d trip into the Klondike | 1T made fair amount of money when

 the trip was big success for both men.
 Marsh, who ranked as wonderful grap- 1 pler in those days, taught Gotch many mat tricks while the two men were m

 Only once did the locals seriously threaten to cross the plate. In the sew enth Southworth beat out an infield hit to start the inning, and went to second wHAn Duncan threw Southworth out at third Red Smith smashed line drive right in Tex McDonald's hands and when Tex hit Duncan in the back, trying to double him off second, both runners ad- vanced base. Jansen failed to deliver, however, and popped up to Mcdowell, ending the rally.
 Although Crane tripled in the third after two were out, the Crackers failed to get over until the fourth frame. Strait led eff with a single and scored on Mayors awful clout to left field for three bags. Tex Mcdonald then scored Mayer with a hit to right. Chollys s cohorts got rough again in the last stanza and counted three useless runs on three hits and base on balls.
 The Barons were completely baffled by Brennans southpaw hurling and, as usual, the old punch was lacking, The Crackers look like a new team on this trip and play very differently from the average cellar occupants.
