WOOL TRADERS PROFIT.
Many, However, Are Still Holding
for Still Higher Prices.

BOSTON. May 16 Especially
profit-taking was evident in wool mar
ket today. Many dealers who bought
early clips have a nice profit at pre-
vailing figures. Some are inclined to
take these profits but the great ma
jority are holding for still higher
prices. On the ranges, growers are
beginning to talk hopefully of As
cents a pound for choice clips. So far
the maximum has been about 40.
Dealings in the foreign markets for
American account are increasing in
volume and the Argentine supplies

Hitting The
 WITH G. E. FIRSTBROOK Sport Trail

The Hartford Club gets a player oI much promises in Rosie Rosenthal the Dorchester youngster who was taken South with the Red Sox. "Rosie"-his nickname is both a con- traction of his own name and also the color of his cheeks-is a natural hitter. However, he is only IS years old and lacks the necessary experi- ence. He is bound to be heard from later on in the big league ranks. &C., cording to Boston baseball critics.
 Shorty Long, of Waterbury,
 one of the hitting sensations in
 the Eastern League last season,
 is finding it hard to hit around
 the 200 mark. However,
 shorty comes forward with a
 holesome alibi. He's lett handed sticlxer and claims he has
 been forced to go up against far too many southpaws. Something
 in the dope, likely, as the
 Waterbury club faced nine south paws in twelve games.
 'PhiI' Doherty, the Meriden ump, who is idle, denies he's been fired" by Proxy Dan O'Neill as a result of George Weiss kicks on his work. T was simply told to take a few days off and will be back on the job next week. said Doherty.
 The suspension of Tim Mo- Namara may mean another probe of Fordham's baseball affairs.
 A Bridgeport baseball fan who ran into Tommy Ray in Newark the other day heard Tommy remark that it is harder to hit the ball safely in the Eastern League than in the Inter- national.
 Rafferty, Waterbury outfie1der, has been farm cd to the Green vile Club in the Appalachian League, but the BraSscos have a string on the youngster. He's we'll thought of by Billy Gilbert. Fitchburg ball fans have a kick seeing three in a row that travelled over the two-hour limit.

Red Torphy and Schme11 are hit ting the ball consistently for the Brasscos The latter has made the grade for shortstop, and the Port Chester lad appears to be in the league to stay.

voice, h. topped and looked all
around expecting to scc the speaker
You cant see me, can you? came
the voice again. "Oh. sec!" said Mr..
Chafin, observing holl wecvil. What
are you doing here? asked Mr.. Chat
in. Nov" replied the wecvil that is
very foolish question, indeed. Why,
I'm only prospecting. at this time for
a field in which to operate. Say, cant
you hurry matters a little on my be
half; I'm very, very hungry.
Mr.. Chafin, amazed, answered not
word for minute, then he said:
How long have you been here ?, where
did you come from? "To your first
question, replied the wccvil ! will
tell you that came yesterday; and
20 the second question, that | came
from near Matoy." From Matoy?"
rXclaimcd the astonishcd Mr.. Chafin.
Then why did you not stay near
Matoy?" "W-r-l-l," drawlcd tn" Wee

which is my only diet. would have to
be planted over on account of the
recent rains. and that would delay
my meals too long; SO | thought |

stupid of you" said the weevil. Indeed

in the air. ".John Brown" cried Mr..
Chaplin, you are some flapper your

you are" Without any hesitation, the
