Cincinnati, O., June S.-Lee Magee,
professional baseball player, testined on
the witness stand In the United states
district court here today that he bet on
the first game of a double header Wnlch
the Cincinnati National cub played with
the Boston team on July 25, 1913.

League club because of his unconditional
release at the beginning of this season.
said he and Hal erase, the first base
man for the Cincinnati team, had bet
$500 on the Cincinnati Grub to win that
game. Chase did all the talking when
the bet was made. Magee testified
After the game he said, he learned that
the money had secretly been bet against
the Cincinnati team, and he thereupon
refused to pay the bet and stopped pay
ment on a check which he had given.
Magee said it was his playing which
won the game. In the thirteenth inning,
he declared he made a sharp hit which
broke the Boston shortstop's nose. He
then stole second, he said, and scored or
Roushs home run.
Magee was still on the witness stand
when court adjourned for the daily. He
will continue his testimony when the tria
al is resumed tomorrow.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS PROFESSIONAL

New York, June S.-Business on the
stock exchange today was again very
superficial and almost entirely profess
sional The usual financial consdera-
tons were overshadowed by the greater
interest manifested in the course of po-
litical events at Chicago.
The only untoward development of the
session was the news that dividends on
the common and preferred shares of the
Chicago mad Northwestern Railway, an
intergral part of the Vanderbilt system,
had been cut.
After an unbroken record of IS years
at 7 per cent. the common stock was
reduced to a per cent. basis, while the
preferred, with similar record was cut
from to per cent. An unofficial an
nouncement issued after the directors
meeting stated that this action was
deemed advisable because of existing I'M
certain transportation conditions.
Chicago and Northwestern common, or
dinarily one of the most inactive issues
in the railway list suffered an extreme
decline of 10 1-2 points to 70 1-2 on
very heavy offerings and closed at a net
decline of 7-8, while the preferred drop
ped ten points to 103 on a single SALE
Rails as group, notably Reading and
junior issues of the western and south
western territories, which had shown
marked strength during the early and
intermediate periods broke sharply the
reaction extending to industrials and
specialities.
Almost the only issues to withstand
| the later pressure, which was heightened
by call moneys advance to 10 per cent,
| were same of the oils and equipments
There were moderate recoveries before
| the close however when money eased to
eight per cent. Sales amounted to 375,-
| 900 shares.
Yet another advance in Anglo-French
SIS to new high quotation for the pres.
! ent movement was the feature of the
| bond market. Liberty bonds were ir.
regular, as were also most other domestic
| issues Total salse, par value, were
$1I775,00O. Old u S. bonds were un.
changed on call.
