I has been declared from the net earn- ings of the past six months at the rat be apraza Stocks Rebounded but a Break in Cop- pers Brought Weakness Again. New York, May 3.—Stocks rebound- ed today from the depression which has been forcing them to lower price levels, but the relief proved only tem- porary, a break in the coppers caus- ing acute weakness again. Apparently the principal relieving factor was found in the money market, where call loans opened at 4 1-2 per cent., com- pared with the six per cent. opening rate yesterday morning. This was partly the effect of the reappearance in the money market of the amounts disbursed in interest and dividends on the first of the month. Another influence was the |surprise feit over the small effect of the large payments which had to be made yes- terday for the cotton accepted by pur- chasers in compliance with the notices from sellers last Friday to the amount of 175.000 bales. This requirement for nearly $18,000,000 must have been financed mainly elsewhere than in New York, presumably in Chicago and in New Orleans, and, in the latter case, Tucker, Anthony & Co.

Some pains were taken to spread the impression that important inside interests in the great corporations had set about re- buying stocks sold at a higher level. This was done by the insinuation that large amounts of stock which haid been returned to lenders represented this process, the stocks having been bor- rowed for delivery to conceal the ori- gin of the selling at the higher levels.

The compromises proposed in the rail- road legislation now before congress were rogarded, in the first view, as a possible presage of the defeat of the whole programme of amendment of the interstate commerce law. A realized estimate of the proceedings seemed to accept them as a strengthening of the Tadical forces working against corpo- rations. Increasing importance was attached, also, to the proceedings by the atiorney general in the matter of wire transmission of quotations. There was seen in these a suggestion of in H tenided measures to hamper specula- tive transactions based on price fluc- tuations which might encroach om the field of stock market activities.

In the Academy’s scheduled game this afternoon against, Putnam high school on the local campus, there will be some shifts in the N. F.

This will bring about a change on second base, where Fletcher, who has ‘been one of ‘the subs, will be tried out. The other infield positions will be as usual. In the outfield, Noyes will be at his usual place at lgft, Cummings will be at center, and Rémmert and J. Ricketts will both be tried fn right.

Bridgeport, Conn.,, May 3.—Through heavy batting and clever box work by Parker, Springfield shut out Bridge- port today, 5 to 0. The game was called in "the eighth inning since a heavy fog made it impossible to see the fielders. In that inning Springfield had bunched hits so that three runs his great fighting form of a few vears. ' ‘When the time comes they will be at the Fingside ready to gobble up all the two to one money in sight, If any- thing like those odds day of the fight.” The same difference of opinion ex- tends into the ranks of the pugilists. It is possible to start an argument at any time or place where boxers gather by introducing the subject of the John- son-Jeffries fight, and the probable winner. Jim Corbett, Tom Sharkey, Frank Gotch, Battling Nelzon, Ad Wol- gast and many others have gone on record as predicting a victory for the Californian. Johnson's side of the ar- gument has been taken by Owen Moran, Tommy Ryan, Joe Gans, Stan- ley Ketchel, Billy Papke uand others, just as numerous as the Jeffries con- gent. It is this very Qifference of opinion, both among puzilists and pus- ilistic followers, that points to the big battle being a record-breaker from a wagering standpoint. TO SEE HAL CHASE PLAY FIRST BASE. Many New York Fans Go For That Reason—Think Game of Secondary Importance. prevail on the ‘When Clark Grifith was pitching for Chicago under “Pop” Arson he had an argument one day about the most im- portant infleld position. Anson said first base. Griffith said a first base- man ought to be forced to pay admis- sion to ihe grounds. But Griffith has changed his mind, and Hal Chase of the New York Americans is one rea- son. Fred Tenney was the man who revolutionized first-base play with the way he headed off players at second and third base, and by his accuracy in combination plays. Being a left- loser, but they tfeat by Wolgast that I had of gamest battles “in the history of the ring, and that I had always won or lost on the level. So they got interested in me again and 1 am de- luged with offers to appear on the stage. “Since the Wolgast bout 1 have made $8,736 above My eXpenses, Or inclfding my expenses, about $1,200 a week. In the same length of time Wolgast made $5,000, and hud to_pay his expenses out of that sum. Why, the week after the fight Wolgast did not work—in fact, It was two weeks before he succeeded in getting an_en- gagement.

When I had him almost out in the twenty-second round I Jacked the gin- ger to finish him. He was at his very best, and jnasmuch as he s not a careful person regarding his habite 1 do not believe he can ever be as §0od again as he was on the day he faced me. He will never again have the chance he had in the last ten rounds of that battle. Now, if Wolgast at his best could not knock me out, or even knock me down, when I wis at my worst, what chance has he got against me_when we meet in September, when I will be at my best and he not as 800d as he was two months ago?” School Athletic Meet at Waterbury.

Chase is one of the youngest of men playing in the big league tos ‘being about 24 years of age. He Is a native of San Jose, Cal, and attended Santa Clara college in that state. There he played, not only first base, but every other position on the college team. In the mtddle of the season of 1904 he was induced to join the Los Angeles team of the Pacific Coast league. o played first base for the e " for four months and in spite of Ris inexperience helped that team materially to win the Coast league pennant.

MANY THOUSANDS IN WAGERS ON JEFFRIES-JOHNSON BATTLE. Prediction That the Wi Money Willl Be On the Negro—But Big Following | Sees Only Jeffries. Judging from the preparations beiwg made for the handling of betting com- missions on the Johnson-Jeffries bat- tle on July 4, the contest for heavy- weight supremacy will be one of the greatest events upon which sportsmen Pave wagered in many years. It is believed by those who carefully follow the trend of such matters thet the amount of money which will be in the hands of stakeholders when the pugilists enter the ving will run into many hundreds of thousands of dollars. The bout set for Independence day contains so many angles which have never been present in previous ring combats that there is a wide division of opinion as to the ulimate winner, Jeffries, in his prime as a pugilist, was considered to be absolutely invincible. Fighting at a time when the heavy- weight ranks contained a most for- midable list of competitors, he twice ‘went through the list, sweeping all be- for him in his climb to the champion- ship. This record, which has not been excelled in modern pugilistic history, guve him a following such as no other fichter has ever had. The admiration which his performance aroused among | pugilistic enthusiasts bas never been | dimmed. To a great extent it holds good to- day, despite the fact that Jeffries has not fought a contest of any import- ance in almost half a decade. In what little wagering that has been done on the coming ccniest he has been a pro- nounced favorite and the prediction has been made that he will enter the ring: a two to one favorite over the negro. This belief 1s said 1o be based upon the | idea that Jeftries adodrers, remember- | ine his ability of the past, will back | Wfin regardless of statements that may | come from his rival's training camp. The situation w summoned up by well known sportsman and beller, when he said the other night “There will be all kinds o ng en the big Emeryville fight, and just as soon as the men begin to train in gamest vou will ses the money £o up in wads. To weay o king Senttment will o a long way toward sacuring a biz backing for Jeffries, but the wise money will he on the negra. I know 2 lot of men whe caw't see any. thing in this talk of Jeffries regarding great voung player: “A griend of mine named Carroll, a Chicago travel- ing man,” says Grif, “first called by attention to Chase’s playing. He is a £0od judge of ball players, and wrote me that Chase was a sure comer. I then wrote Danny Long, our agent in California, to watch Chase’s work and advise me. Long verified Carroll's opinfen and T drafed Chase at the end of the Pacific coast league season.” Peace had been establiwhed . year before between the American and Na- tional and the Pacific coast leagues, but President Morley of the 1os An- geles club was so bitter over losing Chase that he persuaded the young- ster 2o sign with Los Angeles in viola- tion of the national agreement. Chase wanted to stay in California another season, but under baseball law, if Grimeh insisted on his draft, Chase could only play with the Highlanders Grifith did insist, and gien Morley an- nounced that he was ready for an- other war rather than give up the player. , President Bert of the Coast league Called a special meeting of the club cwners, who decided they had had enough war, and regused to side with Morley. The result was that Chase joinea ‘the Highlanders in the spring of 1905. Chase is a star batsman as well as a wonderful fielder. His mark last year was .283, which is certainly high. Umpire “Silk” O'Loughlin, who ought to be a good judge, says Chase is a quicker thinker than any man he ever saw play first base. Chase has all the speed necessary to carry out his quick thinks. He plays a deep field and at the same time can nail an infield hit with an almost infallible accurac: Sharp hits down the first base line wre always hits. Nobody hits the ball any harder than “Sam” Crawford, the Detroit slugger.
