FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS IRREGULAR Coppers and Tobaccos Featured the Occasional Intervals of Activity.

New York, July 26.-The stock mar ket was hesitant and irregular in the first half of today'S superficial session, presumably on the failure of sensa- tional war rumors current yesterday to materialize, but prices hardened later, few leaders making miXmum quotations for the current movement.
 The improvement of the afternoon was concurrent with the more encour- aging views entertained by banking interests regarding the administra- tion's taxation policy and the easier tone of call money. which was more abundant
 Pools were conspicuous in numer- ous minor specialties, but stee!s. al- lied equipments, coppers and some of the tobaccos featured the occasion;S intervals of activity, mainly on short covering.
 U. s. Steel was easily in the fore front, furnishing about 40 per cent. of the offerings and attaining the high est price of the week at 10S 3-S, clos ing half a point under it's best.
 Bethlehem, Crucible and Lackawan- ia Steels. Republic Iron and Colorado Fuel gained one to two points, Utah Copper and oils one to 1 1-2 and Gen eral Cigars was prominent for its sud- den rise of four points.
 Rails were extremely list1ess, Union Pacific, as an instance, remaining all together unquoted until at the end, while Reading slowly regained its one point reversal. Sales were 335,0O0 shares.
 Internationals fared better than do- mestic issues in the irregular bond market, Paris 6's gaining 5S and An glo- French 5's a small fraction. Total sales, par value. aggregated $4,925, ,OeO. Old U. $. bonds were unchanged on l call.

BALL PLAYERS TO HAVE UNTIL SEPT. 1
To Secure Essential Position to Enter Military Service
 Under Work Fight Law-Secretary Baker Refuses
 Request of Managers For an Extension of Time Until i October. 15th-Other Sporting News.
l.....l - .lNt..-

Washington, July 26. = Professional baseball players were given until Sep temper 1 to seek essential employment or be called to the colors in an order issued by Secretary Baker today, de- nying the application of the National Baseball Commission that the effective time of the work or fight regulations as they apply to the baseball industry be extended to October 15.
 The secretary said that the limited extension of time was given because of the representation made that base ball players. may nave been put in a less favorable attitude than others af- fected by the regulations because of their reliance on his statement that the question of their inclusion in the terms of the order would not be de- cided until a case had arisen. He made it plain, however, that the war department is interested solely in the strengthening of the nations military forces, as the winning of the war is regarded as the first consideration.
 Provost Marshal General Crowder, MT. Baker said, had reported that it was not clear to him that the game would have to be discontinued even applicable, as only 237 major league players would be affected.
 While regarding it as unfortunate to have so wholesome a recreation as baseball destroyed, the war secretary said it would be a much more unfor- tunate thing to preserve even so wholesome an amusement by making an exception in favor of baseball play CTS, which is denied to great classes of persons in the United States who were immediately associated with processes Of the national daily life more fun damental than any mere amusement
 There was this difference, he said, between baseball and other industries classes as non productive, baseball is more integrated. at least in the sense that it's successful conduct depends upon the preservation of all the ma- jor league teams scattered throughout the country, while in most occupations the work or fight order merely has a series of local and more or less per sonal effects.
 Tener Sees No Worlds Series.
 Boston, July 26.-There will be lit tie demand for a worlds series this year, in the opinion of John K. Tener, president of the National league, in commenting tonight on the effect of the decision of Secretary of War Baker that the work or fight rule would not be applied to baseball play CTS until Sept. 1.
 President Tener believed, however, that interest in the races in the Ma tionaI and American leagues would be maintained right up to the first of September He was shown Secretary Bakers statement tonight as he pass ed through this city on his way to his summer home at Salisbury Beach, but declined to make further comment un- til after he had had opportunity to give it more careful reading.

Putnam, July 26-Jewett City is sending a baseball team here Sunday. the 18th, that is expected to do things to the Putnam team. Jewett City, it is understood. will have an American league battery, while Girard will be on the mound for the home team.
 This means big baseball, but it is also taken here that the Putnam team, fastest in this part of New England, will be able to put it on to the visit ors, notwithstanding their big league support, which isn't worrying Putnam even a little bit

Roche Now a "Busher"

United States marines fighting in France report that the trench slang of the poilus and the Tommies is receiving the impress of the Ameri- can idea.
 "Boche" the French term of con- tempt for a German, is perfectly good French for "bonehead," and the Tom mics adopted it.
 But to the American ear it lacked punch. And the pronunciation was tricky. It did, however. suggest a term expressing the Americans ut most contempt emanating from the

so-caIIed Pigskin Made of Rawhide.

Hero of the pigskin sounds fine in description of some red hot varsity game; in fact. but one objection can be raised to the phrase-footballs are not made of that material.
 England turns out a. specially tanned cowskin, which is used for the ex- pensive balls, while the cheaper ones are covered with sheepskin.
 When the game first began to be played, the English did use an inf1at- ed pigs bladder, as ball, so there is an excuse for the present day word.
 Most American balls are made in Philadelphia, the yearly output of one factory there being placed at 2,OO0 oval footballs. 3 800 for the soccer game and about 5000 basket balls.
 The raw material passes through an elaborate process before it becomes a finished article. some of the most i'm portant work being done by women.
 Kopp of the Athletics is one of the fastest base runners in the game.

Coloniais vs. Yantic.

On Saturday afternoon the Colonials, local team, will cross bats with the Yantic team at Depot field The Colo nials are composed chiefly of N. F. A. alumni and their lineup contains some of the best players turned out at the Academy in recent years. There is no doubt but what they will put up good game, and it is we'll known to local fans that the N. F. A. has pro- duced some good ball players. The Yantic team has been playing good game and will have strong lineup on hand to meet them. Bowers, a new pitcher, will be in the box for Yantic and Jack Meehan will do the backstop work Bowers is an ex-league pitcher and is in great form for the game Jack Meehan is well known to local fans and has been doing good work behind the bat, very few runners stealing bases on him. There have been several good games played at Depot field this season. and the man agement guarantees this one to- be no exception.
