STOCKS. DULLEST DAY YET. Wall Street Trading ;nurd-y Went Below 'I'hur.d-y'c Record. New York, April "1.—~Sel'i0n! discus- sion of the day in the stock market is altogether purposeless. Trading up to noon aggregated about 50,000 shares, with a total outturn of 180,000, thereby establishing a new low record since !he middle of 1908. The movement was sluggish throughout, the few spasms of mild:activity which manifested thémselvs at odd intervals being con- nected largsly with issues that have seldom exerted any influence as mar- ket factors. Net charges were for the most part unimportant. Continued ‘ease of money for all dates is reported and a gain of cash will probably be shown by the bank statement tomorrow. Forecasts sug- gest an expansion of the ‘loan account as an offset to last week’s moderate contraction, which probably failed to refiect in full measure the disburse- ments of interest and dividends for the first quarter of the year. Of railroad reports, the¢ most note- worthy was that of Chesapeake and Ohio, which showed.a decr2ase ‘In net for February “of $120,000.

Hughie Jennings believes that Fred Merkie of the New York Giants is not alone ‘on2 of the greatest ball players in the game, but one of the greatest men in the country. In any other line of endeavor Merkle would be pointad to as a leader. “A few years ago Merkle made a bad play in ome game, a play that cost his club..the championship. He got mors abuse' than any player before and prob- ably any player who will follow . him, He lost twenty pounds in two weeks after he made the play. “Today this same Merkle is raglrded the best first sacker in the National league. Now apny man who can take the abuse that Merkle took, live down the reputation of being the ‘biggest ‘bonehead in baseball’ and become the best man at his position, is certainly performing a wonderful fegt. He just gritted his tceth and beat the world.” Forty-six ocated or Broken Bones in McGuire’s Hands. New Orleans, April 1.=—A group of young Naps surveyed Manager Jim's gnarled and knotted fingers'today with awe and brought formom -the old boy a few facts concerning the olden days when the catchers were not pro- vided with the protection that they re- ceive now. An ray examination of Jim's hands a few years ago revealed the fact that something like forty-six Joints were distocated or broken at some time during his diamond career. “How could you stand it?” asked Jack Adams. “Oh, it wag different then from what it is now. It was a great feat in those days for a catcher to catch eleven or twelve successive games. en 1 we didn’t have the big mitt that you fellows wear now. We had gloves which even the outflelders of today would steer clear of. With the glove on our fingers were completely unprotected. .Thére were no fingers n em. 'hat imitation of a glove and a piece of rubber which we held in our teeth to protect the loss of our iveries constituted our armor. “Of course, then theé catcher was not behind the bat all the time. He step- ped up when there were either two strikes or three balls. It makes me shudder now when I think of it, The pltche:r was only forty-five feet away. Do you think you would take a chance now, even for a good sized bet, at catching even the pitcher today ‘who possésses the least speed? “Every catcher had a method of his own for padding for the palm .of his hand. I always had 2 couple of pieces of raw beefsteak inside of my gloves. ‘When Bulkeley caught Rusie he used a piece of sheet lead.. I tried that, but without satisfaction.” “Guesg I will stick to the big pillow,” was Gus Fisher’s only comment® BITS OF SPORT.

Expecting that hit—there’s a ot in having confidence in your men, believe me—I glance over ihe outfield.
