The Intercollegiate Champion Needed ! for the Sprints. i Quite a bit of uneasiness has been aroused by the announcement from| { Deroit that Ralph C. Craig, intercol- | legiate champion sprinler and joint! holder of the world record for the| 220 yard dash, could not be a candi- | date for the Olympic team. Craig is such a well trained athlete that he' | could readily get himself into condi- jtion with sIx weeks of hard work. | { His training would not necessarily in- | terfere with his business, and if the { American committee can persuade him | !that his presence on the team is nec- { essary to a victory for this country, | he is quite likely to waive his present objections. |~ Without Craig the American team would have to depend upon Gwyn| Henry, the youngster from Texas, or | some of the other youthful sprinters I"' the college ranks. The foreign cli- has such peculiar effect upon Amerjcan athletes that the American lr-'vmmltloe will want at least half a | dozen consistent ten second men to | represent the United States In the sprints. Weston, ths Pedectrian, 73 Years Old. Edward Payson Weston, the veteran | | walker, reached his 73d birthday an- | niversary last Friday. To all appear- | ances he is as hale and hearty as most | men of half his vears. He has not | been indulging in any long tramps of | late, barring an occasional walk nf 25| jor 30 miles, “just to limber up,” nut | he has hinted to friends that he may | celebrate his 75th birthday anniversa- | ry, two yvears hence, by taking another | Il(mg distance walk. A REDUCED DEMAND. Stocks Tend Migher, But Mevements Were Irregular. March 19.—Although the prices of stocks tended higher again : today, the frequent pauges and irregu- lar movements scemed to indicate that the market was paessing through a process of digestion. interrupted advance of the past fort- night found its clearest Teflection to- day in romewhat reduced demand, both from investment and speculative mources. l.ong existing uncertainties, including industrial and political con- ditions abroad and within our own con- fines, are beginning to attract more at- tention, irrespective of the fact that a {more hopeful view is being taken of | the differences between the anthracite coal owners and the miners. The more conciliatory attitude of the employers probably was most responsible for the New York, improvement shown by such lssues as | Reading and Lehigh Valley, but other standard shares like TUnited States Steel and Union Paciflc displayed leas resiliency. The Iill stocks, too, were noticeably backward until later in the day, at which time ths Harriman issues also made & betier , & natural response to the cheer sued by the titular head of that sys- tern. There was further activity in Ameri- ecan Cans and Rock Islands, which are assumed to derive their financial sup- purt from interesis more or less iden- a marked diminution ch igsues as Erie and Missourl Pacific, and the market as a whole lacked some of its recent breadth.
