Buying of Specialties Offset by Heavy Selling of Standard Shares. New York, April 16.—Apart from a fresh ebullition of speculative hysteria, which was most conspicuous in vari: ous industrial and equipment issues, today’s active stock market was essen- tially two-sided. That is, the buying of specialties frequently was offset by heavy selling of standard shares, which yielded much of their early ad- vantage, though closing with geperal net gains. The unrestrained trading of the first half hour, probably without paral- lel in the annals of the local exchange, was confined in a great measure to shares of companies which are sup- posed to be in receipt of remunerative orders from European belligerents, American Locomotive rose over 1§ Doints almost at the outset, New York ir Brake 16 and numerous other in- ['dustrials and equipments from five to eight points. Air Brake increased its advance to 18 points in the later trad- ing, but most of the others in this group fell back appreciably. In 2 way, today’s rise in the so-called war speciaities was accepted as a nat- ural outgrowth of the recent gyrations in Bethlehem Steel, first of the indus- trial concerns to make market response to its war business. To what extent manipulation of “pools” and “syndi- cates” figured in the day's operations must remain a matter of debate or in- dividual opinion. Representative issues were under moderate pressure throughout the ses- sion, even though some, particularly United States Steel, aftained their highest prices of the movement. Un- fon Pacific, Reading and a few others which are commonly regarded as mar- ket barometers fell to lowest levels in the final hour, though recovering in part toward the end, which was mark- ed by a confusion of prices. inancial conditions were again highly favorable to bullish interests, Bankers reported a marked increase of demand for high grade investment 8- sues, the success of the New Haven railroad note issues giving stimulus to this inquiry.

That was the question_put to Pat Moran, manager of the Phillies, as he sat in the lobby of a Southern hotel fanning on& ev in “Well, just' hint a possible trade or cut in salary—that will create more nervousness and anxiety in a ball player than a dozen world's series crowds jammed into one park” This was Moran's quick response; of course, it came “off the tip of the tongue,” and did_not represent Pat's deeper’ thoughts in regard to stage fright in the progress of a champion- ship baseball battle. What the fans alway anxious to know is just how a player is affected by the high spots in a game. For instance, what thoughts run through the brain of Jack Barry when he comes to bat with men on third and second and is flashed the sign to bunt for the “squeeze.” Do Dode Paskert's knees wobble a bit when three men are on base and Zim- merman hits a terrific drive which will be a home run if it is not caught? Surely no man is better fitted to dis- cuss this phase of the national pas- time than Moran, who has played in world's serles and exceptional Nation- al league games with the Chicago Cubs. league players suffer have been The First Apperance. “From what I have experienced in world's series games, from what I have heard others say in regard to general complications in important struggles and from what I am able to recoliect of my early playing in pro- fessional baseball, I think all players will agree with me that the first ap- pearance before a big crowd, even back in the minors, causes stage frights” continued Moran after he had turned the question over in his mind for a moment. “This nervous ness, however, is virtually unknown to players in world's championship games. Most every man playing the game will sit at times and look back over the days when his mind was filled with _thoughts of his uniform possibly not fitting artitically—somewhat after the fashion of the fellow who worries about his necktie when he makes his first call on a girl. . “Then I believe that, when he plays his first game as a minor leaguer, and later when he makes his big league debut, the thoughts of what his fel- lowtownsmen will have to say about his performance, whether good, bad or indifferent, will be constantly running through the mind of the player. Yes, I will even say that the over anxie to make a good impression will cause a weakness about the knees; a fellow will sort of feel as though his heart was trying to ' jump out from his throat. “But, regarding world’s series crowds, 1 am sure the average player is not frightened; on the other hand, he is inspired. He has worn off the rough edges by one or more years of hard games in the big league, and he'll be so busy saying to himself, Tve got to make good,’ that he'll invariably play better ball than in an ordinary match. In the course of a world’s se- ries combat, the player's mind, is so concentrated on the instructions of his leader that all thoughts of the throng in the stands are shut out of his think tank. Of course, about all the players are ‘on edge’ when they first enter a big game, but if that be stage fright, it is caused by the fear that they will not perform in accordance with what has been ‘planned by the directors on the bench.” Manager Moran voiced the opinion that all players who promised to be- come grezihad been ruined at the start of their careers by the abuse of other members of the team. It fre- quently is the fear of what is going to be said on the bench that causes a timid feeling in the mind of a young player—call it stage fright if you will “There is nothing that will make a young player's nerves ragged quicker than abuse from his manager or fel- low-players,” Pat said. “Criticism of the right sort is all right. But a high-strung kid can’t stand abuse when he is doing the best. he can. A pat on the back may settle his nerves and he will regain his confidence. A kick will upset his brain and his hands and feet will refuse to do his bidding. That is genuine stage fright—nervous- ness. Veterans Suffer Most Big Series Ball players:are uanimous in the opinion that in a world’s series veter- ans suffer more from stage fright than youngsters. The experienced man, however, will have a way of conceal- ing his fear and lack of confidence. On the other hand, the kid is likely to show the slightest bit of timidity or uneasiness.
