progress, on the other hand,
that one might think things in
the executive chambers Of the
game might also function some
what more rapidly.
If the baseball reporters Up
In their press coop have to, be-
times, ask each other who this
pitcher may be, who is coming
in to hurl, who that pinch hit
ter is, who q substitute base
runner is or which Of two col
iding outfielders made a catch
or a throw and who started
and completed a fast two-ply
killing, what then is the be-
wilderment in the minds Of the
unframed eye which conSti-
tutes 80 per cent Of every base
ball audience?
With numbers on the fronts
and backs of each ball player,
major and minor league for
that matter, those who pay at
the gate can tell at a glance
who's who, by a quick reference
to the score card. Too, by
numbering the players, the ball
park owners would sell more
programs and score cards, be-
cause at present the score
cards are of little help to the
customers at 80 per cent of the
games parks.
The megaphone man helps
but little in the case of substi-
tutions, which are only a small
minority of those who appear
on the field Id the course Of
an afternoon. Instead of keep
ing the game and those play
ing in it partly a mystery, par
ticularly to the uninitiated,
baseball should do all it can,
by general legislation, to make
the sport simplified, easy to
follow and more attractive to
its patrons.

The Washington ball club is
the third in the game to take
this step forward, following the
Yankees by a year, and Cleve-

and let the minors do likewise.

LAME TENNIS

NEW YORK. Aug. 15.-Wil.
liam T. Tilden I'd, at once the

that American lawn tennis has
known, will not be among those

pionship or even in that vicinity,
although admittedly these over.
night impulses are subject to
change in the mellowing light Of
a new day. Tilden probably was
mellow today like a full-grown
cactus. He had been hooted off
the courts by an imbecile gal
lery in the midst of a match he
had been losing to Cliff Sutter
at 1-6 and 0-4 in sets and OILS in
points, and no darker indictment
has been leveled against Amer
ican sportsmanship. There is
never any possible extenuation
for bad manners.
For instance, Mr.. Tunney, an
aloof spectator, condemned the
procedure in measured tones. He
intimated that a prize-fighter who
would quit under public abuse
would be regarded as unworthy
Of the best traditions or some
thing. I think I may be of some
slight aid to Mr.. Tunney here
by stating that the prize-fighter
who walked out on his fight and
his purse would be iunatic. He
is a paid performer, and, there
fore open to random heckling.
Tilden is not.
The blame. therefore, rests
solely with the gallery. In a
strictly negative sense, however,
the fault is Tilden's. He should
have ceased to play lawn tennis
at such time as he found him.
self unable to play lawn tennis
with characteristic results, which
was about three years ago. In
stead. he has continued to go
through the empty gestures Of a
pantomime, unloved by many and,
apparently to the eyes Of some,
unlovely.
Tilden was never an ap-
pealing figure to the galleries.
But when he was beating the
world, he didn't need their
admiration. He merely got
the only thing that is really
important to human kind, re-
Spect. It would seem, judg-
ing by yesterdays demOnStra-
tiOn, that he no longer com
mandS that attribute.
If he had retired from ennis
when the spark Of genius WAS
definitely dead, he would have
left a memory of the Tilden who
was great. Many now will re-
call him only the Tilden who was
old and futile and inept. He no
longer is important, in spite If
his gallant victory at Wimbledon
this year at the age Of SO. So
human nature, which doubtless
wished to yap at his heels but
lacked the temerity, now does so,
openly and unafraid. Tilden
himself arranged this situation
by letting the public see a side
of him that age had made
vulnerable. Human nature never
was known to be merciful with
vulnerability.
Tilden, of course, has clung to
the quasi-prominence of his fading
glory for reasons of his own.
These represent a question that
had to be decided between the
man himself and his innate taste,
just as his action yesterday in
walking off the court and for
feiting to Sutter was a matter of
personal judgment. IF it wasn't
juStified-and there is hardly a
precedent to justify it in all the
history of sport-Tilden doubtless
is prepared to accept the conse-
QuenceS.

STOCKS HAVE RALLY
|. IN DULL DEALINGS
Pivotal Shares Advance, but
No Attempt Is Made to
Shove Them Upward.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,
Associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK, June 30.-The stock
critical year of 1880 today with Janu-
airy hopes wholly unrealized, with but
indications of having completed another
period of drastic deflation, which many
traders were cautiously inclined to be-
lieve had at last carried the general
level of share prices to rock bottom.
Trading was extremely dull but, with
absence of further liquidation, shorts
were disposed to cover their commit
ments, and pivotal shares generally rail-
lied 2 points or more. Despite the be-
lief widely expressed in brokerage circles
that selling had been completed, there
was, nevertheless, no inclination to re-
new aggressive operations for the adj
vance.
Before any large scale resumption of
bullish activity can be expected. i'm
portant traders state that it will be
necessary thoroughly to test present
levels, after Wall Streets numerous
premature conclusions that turn had
come. Factors initiating against a
steadily rising market at this time are
indicated as the second quarter earn
ings statements. which will appear
shortly, and the Summer slump in
industry Furthermore, commodity
prices have yet to show conclusive
signs of stability and reductions of
retail prices to conform with the lower
level of wholesale quotations would be
likely to hold the stock market in check.
Wall street regards as the most IA
vorable factor now in sight the REIN
vestment demand rise from the huge
outflow of interest and dividend checks
during the next few days. The amount
thus to be made available is variously
estimated from 750,000,000 to more
than $1,000 600, 900. While much OF
this sum may find its way into bonds,
1t is felt that strong bond market
would pave the way for higher prices

midyear commercial settlements along
with the attempts of the banks to do
some window dressing for State and

demands will tend temporarily to
tighten rates, with the result that the
call money rate may 60 to 3 per cent
or even a triffe above that figure. But
the midyear strain is not likely to pro-
duce any movement such as took place
a year ago, when call money rates over
the month end rose from 10 to Is per

morrow. Prices today were listed al
