Rabinovitch, the dimi1utive Windham

errors most Of which were poor pegs to
first. Another Windham offender was

boys to run. wild on the bases
Both Keenan, and Lathrop pitched good
ball, but Keenan's teammates gave him
fine support. Five hits were garnered
off Long Johns delivery and three were
passed, while N. F. A. nicked Lathrop
for three safetes and received three
walks.
Plainly. windham boys were outclass-
ed and were lucky to make out as we'll
as they did.

ond inning. Fitz reached first on an err

and scored on another misplay by the
same shortstop.
Another run came In the third, two

in the eighth. Errors by Rabinovitch &C

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS ACTIVE.

New York, May 20.-Another impress

stock exchange today, the bulk of the
enlarged >jSiealings, according to popuL
lar opinion. again representing invol-
untary liquidation resulting from the in
creased tightening of credits.
Aside from this development, which
was strengthened by advices from all sec

events in explanation of the further re-
action
Standard shares suffered in equal
measure with speculative issues, testi-
flying to the insistent nature of the Of
ferings. These were again traceable in
large part to out of town sources, main
ly western and southwestern centers, al
though New England also was reported
as heavy seller of coppers
In the final hour, following another
dip of prices to the days lowest levels,
spirited rally set in, oils and sugars
leading at - treme gains of to points.
Steels, equipments and motors also were
carried upward by the, rebound, which eff
faced many of the more extensive losses
of the session and contributed largely to
the almost steady close. Sales amounted
to 1,35o,006 shares.
Plenty OF call money was available al
six per cent. after the usual opening
quotation of Z, but brokers reported no
change in the long prevailing stringency
of time money, all loans of that charac-
ter being limited to renewals.
The weekly statement of the Bank Of
England failed t oconfirmt recent rumors
of further gold exports from London, mol
was there anything in the local sterling
rate~to bear out such reports. The only
noteworthy change in foreign remittanc
es was the further strength of German
