FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET FLucTuATED
Stocks Opened Strong. but Encoun-
 tered a Setback Later.

New York. June 5-Stocks opened with a demonstration of strength to- day, but reacted very generally in the later dealings on moderate offerings. The setback was accepted as a nat ural result of the recent advance, which invited considerable profit talk ing.
 War news was mostly favorable but offered little promise of an early passing of the strain along the French front. The submarine shock subsided completely, shippings dis playing a better tone than any other group.
 The strength of Marines, especially the preferred at an extreme advance of 1-2 points. accompanied the news of that special meeting of the direc- tors tomorrow. It is expected that further details of the deal with Brit ish interests will then be announced.
 Coppers developed sudden heaviness in the latter part of the session react- ing 1 to 8 1-2 points. Chino showed marked weakness. The reversal evil d'ently anticipated adverse dividend action of these properties in the near future.
 Professional activity again contrib uted to the variable strength of cer- tain speculative issues, notably tobac- cos, motors, oils, fertilizers. industrial alcohol and distillers. but pools failed to elicit any general support Standard Industrials, equipments and rails developed reactionary trend after their early gains.

Wednesday afternoon the Academy lost the championship of the Southern Division of the High School League to Stonington in a poorly played game. on the campus The breaks were against the Academy from the start but misplays at critical times piled up the score. Things went along in fine shape for three innings and then in the fourth Adamson lined to Haney the ball going through his fingers to the fence, Adamson scoring together with the two. men who were on base at the time. As usual the Academy lost heart and the usual discord broke out in the team with the result that Ston- ington gathered in the winning tal lies.
 Cushman of Stonington who um- pired on bases gave some terrible de- cisions, one when he called Hull out at third being easy grounds for the protesting of the game had the Acad emy team wished to use such d6ubt- full sportman ship.
 On the play in question, Sullivan, the Stonington captain refused to ex- press an opinion. Parker the other umpire said the man was safe. A re- presentative of a Westerly paper who was on the Norwich bench, also de- clared the man to be safe, but Cush- man insisted that he be retired. On another play he called a man safe then out and then finally declared him safe again. Stonington played a dragging game of baseball with Massey taking three to five minutes rest between each delivery. Stonington failed to outhit the Academy, but as has been the case in most of the game this year the loose fielding of the Academy was the deciding factor in the game. In a game replete with errols, the fine playing of Tim" Brewer in right field shone like the sun on a dark and cloudy day. Brewer pulled a couple of great catches. The rival captains Counihan and Sullivan did the best stick work for their respective teams The detailed story of the game:
 First Inning.
 Leonard hit sharply over first base and Brewer fumbled the ball. Zellar l walked. Sullivan struck out. Brewer made a fine catch of drive by Cush- man. Massey tapped out an infield grounder and was safe when Brassil failed to touch his bag. Counihar i picked Leonard off third.
 | Mcknight struck out. Hull walked and was out trying to steal. Couni- han was safe on Peppers error anG went to second when Germley dropped the throw to first. Ringland famed.
 Second Inning.
 Shackley grounded out Sayles tc l Brassill Gremley was safe on Sayles error. Pepper flied to Mcknight Adamson walked. Leonard hit to righ and Brewer got the ball after harG run.
 Sayles struck out. Haney grounded out Zellar to Gremley. Brassill wen 1 out Pepper tos Gremley.
