Nearly All of Important Securities Re- cord Substantial Gains. New York, Aug. 2-“Preliminary op- erations in stocks today pointed to a continuance of the bullishness that characterized vesterday's Business in the first hour was on scale representing a million sha session, and practically *eVery impor- tant security, Canadian Pacific except- ed, recorded substantial gains.

American Ogn, which was be- lieved to bear close market relationship to the anthracite stoc! lso became suddenly strong, while standard rail- way shares were comparatively nez- lected. Steel attained a slightly higher level than on the preceding day, but reflected pressure, which was ascribed in part to the severe strictures direct- od against the Steel corporation by the Stanley committee. In the late dealings activity dwindled perceptibly, and the market’s tone be- came more irregular, while some of the dealings. a s, hitherio strong specialtios Included much of their advance. This condi- tion was coincident with the publica- tion of the government's cotton report as of the latter part of July, showing a prospective yield much under the av- erage of the past decade, with result- ant nervousness in local cotton options. Local banks are belfeved to be in the way of making further cash gains tomorrow, but the loan acceunt may show some expansion because of re- cent activity in stocks.

His personality Is boyish de- splte the years he has been comnected with baseball, and has been imbibing craft and generaiship. Born of well-to do parents in the ecity of fisheries, known as Gloucester, Mass, on Sep- tember 19, 1889, McInnes tossed one of those five-cent balls and wielded a bat that was mueh larger than him- self, barely before he reached his teens, says an exchange. During his freshman year at school he played shortstop. He made such a suceess of it that instead of taking a waca- pon, the ball tosser decamped to Bev- erly, where he asked for a job. They shied at him at first, and the manager thought the best place for him was at home. He persisted, though, and “butted in” on the field whenever the chance presented itself, One afternoon he took the regular shortstop’s place, and his great field ing and smart hitting won a game for Beverly that they were sorely in need of. Then he was given a regular Derth. In the meantime, a schoolmate named Perkins had seen McInnes play, and he tipped Billy Hamilton, the for- mer Philadelphia and Boston major leaguer, who was managing the Ha- verhill (New England league) team, {to grab him. Hamilton saw the kid |play, and he immediately got stuck |on him. He was offered a contract, and that brought him into the profes- sional ranks. Immediately his stick work began to count. The Haverhill team got out of its slump and began to win games. That year—to be more exact it was during 1907—McInnes led the New England league in hitting. Billy Madden, who had first given McInnes a chance at Beverly, and who, by a strange coincidence, is at this time secouting for Mack’s outfit, kicked himself because he let him ge, but got the satisfastion of having him play for the Beverly club every Sat- urday and Sunday. When the seasen closed Hamilton tried to get Mclnnes to sign another eontract, but the ener- | getic ball tosser figured that he was o | good enough for bigger company amd | refused to affix his signature te the | papers. McInnes had hardly reached | his home after a long absence before he found a contract from Mack, left | there by Madden. He didnt waste {any time signing it. ‘When the Athletics got into a losing streal, Mack decided to replace Mc- Innes with Barry. McInnes then did the utility act. He played in 38 games in 1910 and finished among the .300 hitters with .301, He secured 21 hits and slammed in a great number. of runs. His work altogether was very | pleasing to foxy Mack. The Athletics’ | manager didn’t figure Mcinnes last year when he made up his team. He | thought he could act as utility man |and pald but little attention to him. | On June 1 McInnes got his first game of the year. His hitting won the game. Right after the celebration of Harry Davis day in Philadelphia the old-time first-sacker was suspended indefinitely That was on June 13. Mack looked around for available sub- stitutes and his eve fell on McInnes. “Mac, I'm going to give you the chance of your life,” he told the youngster if the clubhouse that afternoon. ‘“You're to take Davie’ place, and if you make good, it is yours for the rest of the seagon.” MEREDITH'S RECORD. Schoolboy Made First Appearance on the Track Four Years Ago. James Edward Meredith, who weon the 800-meter race at the recent Olym- plc games, 18 the 18-years-old son of a Media, Pa, contractor, He 1s pop- ular and ie widely known to follow- ers of track and fleld sports, 'Ted” as he is called by his close friends, made his first appearance in running togs four years ago when he repre- sented Williamson trade school in va- rious schoolboy mests. Crities admit- ted at the time that he showed perfect lfrvn'n, but none looked upon him as a world bester, At the school he was taught the trade of bricklaying. He| was graduated two years ago. Prior to his graduation he became | wider known by competing in \'irious“ meets wearing the colors of the Aquinah Catholic club, being one of the mainstays of the team. He ma- triculated at Mercersburg academy in the fall of 1910, where he came under the supervigion of Coach James Cur- ran, who was formerly a noted dis tance runner. Before going to Mer cersburg to take Coach Sweeney’s | place, Curran took a coursg of In-| structlon under the famous Mike Mur- | phy_avho predicted his success. Much | of ':\/lgreflllh's success on the cinder path is due to Curran’s training. Un- der his watchful eye the boy devel- oped and showed marvelous improve- ment. In fact, Curran r&ovolnphfl such a wonderful schoolboy trick team that it proved invincible during the past season, winning every atthletic meet in which it competed Meredith's first star performance oc- curred At the university of Pennsyl- vania’s relays, when he ran the quar- ter mile as last man of his relay team in the remarkable time of 49 4-i sec- onds, on a track soggy and heavy be- neath a downpour of rain, His run- ning enabled his team to hang up a rew record for the event. He showed that this was no flash in the pan when, on the following Satur- day, att the interscholastic games at Princeton, N. J., he broke the world’s records for schoolboys in both the 400 yard and the half mile. He ran the half mile in the following week at Cornell in 1 minute 57 seconds. He could easily have made a new record on this day, but he had such a lead that he slowed down in the last 0 yards. At the middle states championships at Franklin fleld he modestly stated prier to running that he was satisfied with the records he had, and would oontent himself with merely winning. He then went out and equalled the intercollegiate record of 48 1-5 seeonds in the quarter mi Meredith is a well developed b In action he works like clockwork and is a beau- tiful runner to watch. He ls modest and unassuming and follows the train- ing instructions thoroughly. At Wil- liamson he played football, being a star halfback, but Curran recognized his track ability at Mercersburg and instructed him not to go out for the team, fearing injury might ruin his chances for the track team.
