FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS UNSETTLED
Due to "Profiteering" Charges of the
 Federal Trade Commission.

New York. July 1.-Speculative in- terest attached more than passing inn portance today to the "profteering" charges of the federal trade commis sion, persistent offerings, especially of the stocks comprising the general war groups, causing recessions of two to four points.
 Other domestic happenings, such as additional adverse railroad earnings and the presidents approval of a con- gressional measure to take over all wire lines of communication, provoked moderate liquidation of rails and other investment shares.
 These developments were only partly neutralized by further encouraging war bulletins and last Saturdays tre- mendous gain in bank reserves. Call loans were distinctly easier, but the supply of time funds was reduced by very large interest and dividend re- quirements.
 The market was unsettled from the outset, U. s. Steel being the center Of several bearish. drives at an extreme reaction of 7-8. Selling was espe ciaIIy heavy at the active close, other industrials and equipments forfeiting two to three points.
 Shippings, oils, motors, coppers. to- baccos, feathers and various mlscel- laneous issues which are known to have amassed large war profits were carried down in the final dealings and standard rails recorded net losses of one to one and a half points. Sales were 46000O shares.
 Advices from western points again stressed the lack of shipping facilities and resultant trade curtailment For eign exchange varied little, except for the strength of Italian remittances.
 Bonds were irregular, Liberty issues yielding with foreign fotations. Total sales, par value, aggregated $4,575,00O.
 L. S. bonds, old issues, were un- changed on call.

John L. Took No Back Talk.

In writing of champion fighters as baseball umpires not long ago, our old friend Veteran Observer of the New York Evening Mail, said of John L. Sullivan that no player. big or small, had ever made serious objec- uons to his decisions. Which is not exactly the truth according to no less parsonage than Mike Donlin.
 Mike says that he was playing with Jimmy Callahan's Logan Squares ont in Chicago one day and Sullivan WAS umpiring. Just for the fun of the thing late in the game. Donlin and Callahan conspired to get John Is angora.
 Donlin stepped to the bat and was called out on strikes. He deliberately let three good ones go over without trying to hit them.
 When Sullivan called the third strike and waived him out Mike let out a terrible roar. Finally he pre- tended that he was going to rush at Sullivan I've a good mind 10 take a. punch at you you big stiff" he shouted. And the crowd roared.

Walter Camp Sends Out Appeal For
 Men to Train Aviators.

At meeting of college coaches and trainers from every part of the coun- try recently, an appeal was made that they take up duties overseas with the aviation branch of the service. The meeting was called by WaNer Camp at the instance of the War De- partment, and was presided over by Colonel Lyster of the Medical Corps, U. s. A., who made it clear that there was an urgent need of coaches and trainers in the aviation camps He said that those who enlisted for the service and were accepted would be commissioned as first lieutenants. Some fifty men are needed for this work.
 Many of the men who were presen. have already given their service to the Y. NJ. c.

Yantic South Windham Game Ends in

 In the second game heavy hitting by Tobin and Maisel, coupled with some sensational fielding behind Davenport and errors by Eddie Collins was ac- countable for St. Louis victory. The Scores;
