Mullin drove ‘the runner in with the tying run, and in the tenth innlag the Tigers made a batting rally, scored four runs, beat the Athletics and kept the lead. “In a pinch? That's where we love to be,” says Jennings. “I would soon er be in a pinch than anywhere. That when we strike hardest.” Ever since Hughie went to Datroit the Tigers have achieved fame for their ability to hit with three balis whenevar they faced the “thres-and-two'™ situa- tions and two strikes cailed.

Langford will have to show up much better in this bout than he did in his recent affair at the Na- tional club if he wishes to persuade New Yorkers that he is the most for- midable contender for Jack Johnson's laurels. FINANGIAL AND COMMERCIAL. BIG SELLING MOVEMENT. Prices on Gilt Edge Stocks Drop from Three to Five Points. New York, Aug. 16.—A selling move- ment of greater scope and proportions than any that has overwhelmed the stock mmarket in the three weeks of its almost uninterrupted decline was wit- nessed today. Prices fell from three (o> five points in shares which have loag beer acoepted as gilt edged, while losses in more obscure and less nego- tiable sharzs extended to ten points. The day opened with littie promise of betterment, London's market for our securities being one to two points un- der last night's ciosing. The weakest issue in that market was Canadian Pacific, its loss of twé points bzing soon doubled here. Other, stocks, in- cluding Union Pacific, which has be the barometer of the market, soon feil a point er more, and by noon all toe active and speculative issues were at tha lowest level of the year. The con- tinued weakness of Union Pacific con- stituted the greatest element of alarm, that stock at its low price today showing a loss of over 20 points in less than a fortnight. In fact, the selling of the Harrimans has been the most conspicuous featurs throughout. New interest was lent to the movement to- day when it became rumored abaut that the Harriman estate had some time ago disposed of its holdings in transcontinentals. Thes: reports were later denied in authoritative quarters and were accepted with some reserve in banking circles. It is nevertheless 2 fact, howaver, that the heavy outpour- ings of Harriman stocks, together with the retirement of Mr. Frick from the Harriman directorates, have producel a profound impression in the financial community. Canadian Pacific, which at one time’ was six points under ves-j terday, was affected by reports of un- favorable crop conditions and heavy selling both by London and Berlin Thee unimportant failures were an- nounced in London, where the fori- nightly settlement was accomplish2d with some strain, particularly in ihe American department. The market railied in the last hour under the lead of Reading, Union Pa- cific and Canadian Pacific, those issues recovering from enme and a half to two points from their maximum declines. but the market's undertone remaincd uncertain to the close, which was heavy and hesitating. A notable feature of the s2ssion wos the weakness of many minor railwa) shares, few of which had suffered earlier in the reactionary movement. In this list- were included Wabash preferred, Toledo, St. Louis and West- ern preferred. Kaneas City Southern, St. Louis and _San Francisco second preferred and Texas and Pacific. JFollowing the close of this markat, cables from London reported a panicky condition in Americans in th~ npen market there. The more important net losses for the day were Lackawanna 10 points, Texas Company 8, Unitsd States Pipe preferred 4 1-2, Union Pa- cific 4 5:8, Canadian Pacific 5 3-4, Rock Island preferred 4 3-8 and Gener:l Electric 8 1-4, while over a score of stocks fell over two points. Total transactions approximate one million sharss, which is close to last week’s most active day. The bond market was heavy, with sharp declines in various speculative issues. Total sales, par value, $2,140,- United States governmend bonds un- changed. STOCKS. Salecs. p? Alls_Chalmers pfd . 28600 Amal. ' Copper ‘Agricultural | Beet. Sugar n . P 910 Am. 1300 Am. 200 Am.

ALEXANDER THE GREAT. Remarkable Baseball Career of Phila- delphia National’s Sensational Young Pitcher. Less than 10 years ago Grover Cleve- land Alexander, the sensational young right hand pitcher of the Philadelphia Nationals, sarned his first money as a ball player. The amount was $5, but more important in after results than the amount was Alexander's determi- nation, then formed, to switch from his infield’ position at second base to the pitcher's mound. Alexander. who s now only 24 vears old. was a boy at the time and playi on one of twa picked teams at a ish celebration at Danneborg, Nel In the sixth in- > | Boston team in the box, the with eczema when but<a few weeks old.

One of them promised Alexander §5 if he could win. ‘Then the future star, who was on the middle sack and had never pitched betore, determined to get that $5. Real- izing affairs could not be worse, he took his place on the slab and held the opposition hitless for the remaind.r of the game, while a batting raliy be- hind him resuited in ultimate victory, 1 3to 12. That ended Alexander's days as an infielder. Thereafter he was a pitcher or an outuelder when not working on the mound. In 1908 Alexander acceptad his first regular position with the Central Ci'y, Neb.,, club at a salary of $80 per month, playing Saturdays and Sundays and one or two other days a week, the club being backed by the firemen of the city. He naxt went to Galesburg, where he won 15 out of 23 games for Galesburg, which was ornamenting' the lowest round in the pennant . before he was hit by a thrown ball along in July. The young pitcher was uncon- scious from the blow fop 30 hours, was in bed two weeks, and when he recov ered found that his eye had a dou vision. His work previous to his jury, however, had attracted the ai- tention of Manager Charley Carr of In- dianapolis, whose club bought the youngster and had him treated suc- Lesafull) by an Indianapolis eye spe- cialist. When Alexander came to Philadel- phia Nationals and held the world's champion Athletics without a hit for five innings in one of the exhibition games this spring. Manager Dooin deemad his new charge worthy of z league trial, and Alexander jumped to the front with as sehsational a bound as did King Cole of the Cubs last sei- son, Alexander has an effective side arm ball and a good fast ball with a break to it, and with this as the basic of his stock in trads has become the most talked of new pitcher of the year. He nonchalantly admits he is willing o walk four or five men a game in try- ing to pitch to a batter's weéakness, which is his theory of success in pitching. As a resuit, he says he often finds himself in a hola to the batter and the base on balls results. But there must be something in his meth- od. for the 21 games he has won for ithe Phillies this season explains' in ° |large measure the high standing of the club. Alexander ascribes much of his success to the coaching of Pat Mora the old Cub catcher, now with Phila- delphia. Alexander’s first league game was a defeat from Boston, 5 to 4, in 10 in- ings, in_which only seven hits were secured, but breaks in his support cost heavily. He lost only one other game in his first 10, the Cubs winning, 6to 2. When a voung fellow fresh from the minors- wins eight of his first 10 games the fans begin to sit up and take notice, and they have been sitting up and taking notice ever since. WHEN THE MACKMEN HIT WESTERN TRAIL Bostor: Scribe Predicts Trouble for the Leaders In American League. Down in Boston where the Philadel- phia Athletics are fighting it out in a series with the Red Sox, they can't see that the American league race is all setfled or that Connie Mack's men have any mortgage on the flag yet. Says a Boston exchange: While the Athletics has a reasonably safe lead on the Tigers right at this period, Connic Mack is not going to have anywhere nearly as easy a time get- ting away with that flag as he did last vear. The Mackmen may start for the West with a margin of wins jover the Jennings outfit, but unless the pitchers who did so much to cinch the flag last season, round to without deiay, a big surprise is in store for the world's champion The Athletics are Iy fast ball, and they B ng marvelou: re running tpon the bases. pitching staff looks surprisingly The one twirler who seems to be go- ing good on this team just now is Cy Morgan, and when he is in the box the team does not seem to hit behind him. He is the Athletics’ “hard Iu pitche have been asked upon Krause and Martin, Lefty Russell is treating for a sore arm, and the dil- emma that Mack finds himself in with to his slabmen was evidenced by the fourth appearance of Danforth, his voung scuthpaw. in the box this week. | Danforth went in to save games that |his pirching maies were apparently |losing, and this makes it evident that {Mack is hard put to it to find some- {one who can bolster the pitching staff 3 away off his stride, and Plank and Bender are being hit hard now whenever they appear upon the slab.

The Mackmen seem full of confidence right now, and they are playing fine ball. But they are apt to run up against it when they hit the Western trail, and their visits to Detroit and Chicago may prove far from pleasant. A bad setback for them on this coming trip may mean the loss of the pen- nant. | no better remedy New Remedy T hat Removes Freckles or Costs Nothing Here'’s chal:ce, Miss Freckle-Face, to try a new remedy for freckles, with the guarantee of a reliable dealer that it will not cost you a penny unless it removes the freckles; while if it does give - expense is trifling. you a clear complexion, the Simply get an ounce of othine—double strength, from The Lee and Osgood Company, and one night's treat- ment will show you how easy it is to rid yourself forever of the homely frackles and get a beautiful complexion.
