New York, March 23.—The'ultra con- | servative attitude toward the stock/ market of both the financial commu-, nity and the investing public has sel- dom been illustrated so clearly as by{ course of business on the exchange to- | day. Stocks barely moved. The vol ume of trading was almost the small- est of any day of the year. Large op- erators took no decided position in the market, and price changes of the day were negligible.

Among these same interests there is noticeable an attitude which, if it, bespeaks caution., at the san.e time is not wanting in-confiGence in the future.

BIG MONEY MADE IN WINNING BASEBALL. Major League Owners Getting Rich Fast. Most Owners of sixteen major league base- ball clubs are now down to real busi- ness. -Theee sixteen club owners rep- resent large inviastments in real estate and baseball plants, and they control profession. They are the governors of the national game, inasmuch as they elect the members of the national com- mission, Johnson, Lynch and Herr- man, and also pay handsome salaries to Johnson and Lynch as rival league presidents. It is almost impossible for outside capitalists to break into this charmed circle as purchasers of clubs unless losing propositions are suddenly thrown upon the market, as in the cases of the St. Louis Browns and the Boston Nationals, both tailenders last season. ,Even then big money must be paid for a majority of the stock. The “ L control of the Boston Nationals was recently secured by William Hepburn Russell and others for a trifle more than $106,008. But the club‘s property is still mortgaged for $250,000 and the present weak condition of the team does not indicate a profitable season. President R. L. Hedges of the St. Louis Browns almost sold the bulk of the stock and the big arena in the Mound City last December, as a syndicate agreed to pay $535,000 for the Hedges shares. Tt is estimated that the franchise held by President John T. Brush, own- er of tha New York Giants, could not be purchased for less than $1,000,000. The club is said to have made more than half that amount in the last five years, yet in 1895 Andrew Freedman bought 51 per cent. of the stock for $49,000, when interest in the game in the metropolis was at a low ebb. President Farrell, who controls the llanders, will have a new stadium a¥ Kingsbridge soon that will cost $500,000, including title to the proper- ty. If the players were for sale you couldn’t buy Chase, TFord, Swceney, Daniels, Vaughn and Knight, named for the sake of argument, for a lump sum of $50,000. In fact, Mr. Farrell says he wouldn’t dispose of his Amer- ican league team for any price that might be offered. President Ebbets rasfused $200,000 for the Brooklyn club more than a year ago. C. W. Murphy bought a control- ing ‘interest in the $110,000 six years'ago and has cleaned np half a million ‘in prefits. Charles Comiskey, owner of the Chicago wmn Sox, admits that he has made more than 8‘10‘.000 sincs joining the American lluua, en years ago, and last season opmefl a ball park that B e e, 287 champion Ath- n‘h during the season of 1“9 w:nh amuid erable sucesss by Shank. not show up well in thnt event, whici was won by Margin, 2. the following week at Nerth Randell, and but for an ailing leg, which caused him to break under pressure, he would ‘'have taken a much faster record than taking his measure. , The pacing gait is casier on a dicky-legged horse than big ring undefeated fellow lost but one heat the entire sea- appearing to be better than at any time when the season closed. the services of tiie hest players in the |} Chicago Cubs for s ‘efforts for the 100 yard cham- yiouhlp race tomorrow night.

INVITING NORWICH ATHLETES TO NEW HAVEN MEET. New Haven Association Wants En- tries for One Mile, Two Mile and Ten Mile Races. There is a movement in New Havi n to encourage field sports among . t! young fellows of the city thldlll’h opening athlstic fields in the different neighborhoods, with a propesal to held athletic meets, the first of which is to be held on Fast day, -April 14th. Wal- ter Camp, Isaac Ullman, Louis Stod- dard and ex-Senator Butterworth of New Haven are back of the movement, which is to give the boys training in athletic sports under proper super- vision, giving them somewhat the same advantdges that are provided for col- lege boys. For their first.meet the following are the events: Fifty yard dash One mile relay for boys closed to grammar schools, fer the Journal- Courier cup. One-half mile novice race for boys 16 years and under. 'Two mile novice run. ‘Ten mile handicap race. The secretary writes tha Sporting Editor of The Bulletin that the asso- ciation will be glad to welcome any of the live young fellows of Norwich, thoge who would like to take part In the one mile or two mile novios races, and especially the ten mile handicap race. For this last race ex-Senator Frank S. Butterworth, who is presi- dent of the association and .the builder of the Taft hotel, has offered ‘a han&- some $50 cup as a time prize. This cup is to. be held by the one makes the best time on any of the &s sociation’s athletic tracks in a tem mile race three times. The name ef each holder of the cup will he em- graved upon it and his time. In ad- dition to this, other prizes will be giv- en, handsome cups, trophies and med- als.

The latter.had been of rio account as a trotter since he was a three year old, but the change in gait and Pop Geers’ teaming proved a winning combination and the black son, from Terre Haute to Lexington, The ex- periment with Jack McKerron will be watched with interest. % OWLS AT DUCKPINS.

In their contest Thursday night Team No. 1 put the first game away safe, 403 to 380, largely because Cap- tain Tuttle and Sullivan both fell down badly and were away off tlieir game. In the next string these two players came back to form and with Captain Donahue rolling the high sin- gle, 190, of the match, the game was No. 2's by 6 pins, 444 to 438.
