Manager-Lee Magee of Brooklyn Play- ing Best Game of Career. Baseball experts are beginning to think that the game is showing im- pravement. They call attention to_the speed on; base lines and in the field which is being shown by Manager Lee Magee of the Brooklyn Federals. De- spite his cares as leader of the team, Magee is playing the best game of his carcer. According to last week’s fig- ures, he is leading the batters of the Federals, as well as having more stolen bases to his credit than any other base runner in the independent league. His fleMiing, too, has been a revelation even to those.whe-have seen his bril- liant work previousl In fielding and base running it is probable the boys in the Federal league are as good as any in the older cir. cuits.. Spectacular no more than justly describes the clever fielding of Mann and Flack, the Chicago outfielders, and the lntter particularly is showing much speed on the paths. Ancther fast base runner is Dalton, Jast year one of the leading batters of the Natiénal league. Now with the Buffalo Feds, he has not struck the high place which put him in front 2meng the batters of the old leagues, but_ he has shown all of his best form ‘n the field and on the bases. Anderson of Brooklyn, Chadbourne of Kansas City and Deal of St. Louis are others gaining praise for their fast flelding, and well up among the speedy ‘base runners are Ernie Johason of St. Louis and McKechnie of Newark. SCHUYLKILL ENTRIES. Four Colleges to Be Represented in Races on Saturday. Thirty_éhtries have been received for the 11 races of the programme of the 13th afnual. regatta of the Ameri- can Rowing asSoclation to be rowed on the Schuylkill river next Saturday.

Flynn has been awreed upon as the man to oppose Coftey after Jack Curley, Flynn's manager, told . Billy /Gibson, Coffey’s manager, “If Coffey can beat Flynn, then he can talk business with Wil- jard.” The club management has not decided yhether it would be Gunboat Smith, Young Weinert or Jim Flynn who Coftey would open the club, Dbut after they were informed of Cur- Jey's statement Flynn was immediate- 1y selected. Curley sént a wire to the Colorado boxer_requesting him to come to New. York, and Flynn wired back, “Am on my way.” As soon as Fiynn reaches:there he~ will start tralning for the contest. e Johnny Evers has left the Troy hos- pital and is npw at his home,.able to walk about a dittle, cracked ankle and afl.

The management has been to great expense to put the above team in the field and it is hoped the fans will turn out in large numbers as by doing So they will insure gilt edged ball for all season. They will leave no stone unturned to capture the county cham- plonship and they will strengthen the team at all times when weakness is shown. Among some of the teams that the management is in communi- cation with are: Athletics of South Manchester, Pioneers of New Britain, Rockvilles_of Rockville, Franklins of Hartford, Polis of Hartford and Denny Mclintyre's team of Southbridge. Clyde, the new pitcher who has recently signed with the Sachems, pitched all last season in the Eastern association and he also pitched for Whitinsville against Berkeley and won his game. Jack Chesbro pitched for Berkeley. Anderson and Adams of Willimantic are well known to Norwich fans and need no introduction. Standish, Casey, Holland, Kane, McIntyre, Taylor and McBurney are all Norwich boys and every one of them is showing class this season, so it is up to the public to show their appreciation, WELSH WILLING TO FIGHT ANYONE. Will Fight Ritchie for $15,000—Doesn’t Propose to Hand Over Title to Any- one Yet. “I want it understood that I am will- ing to fight anyone of my weight for the lightweight championship if a de- cent purse is put up,” announced Fred- die Welsh in Indianapolis, where he is training for his bout with Mijbyrn Saylor. “I do mot propose to take a chance of losing my title for an in- significant sum.” ‘Which is the trouble with all pugil- istic champions of this day. Welsh said_he would fight Willie Ritchie for $15,000. “That is what he always asked to meet me, and _now that I have won the championship I think it only. fair that I should re- ceive the same amount to meet him.” Freddie also announced that for $1 000 he would consider a championship pose to hand it over to some other lad for lttle or nothing, simply because he may want it,” is Welsh’s final re- mark. ‘Meantime Freddie is picking up easy money aend proving that his title is worth something, while Ritchie is an- nouncing that the champion is afraid to meet him. Danny Again in Shape. Danny Murphy is again in shape and ready to step in at any moment. Thou- sands of fans do not realize what a valuable man Danny is to a ball club, because he has only been sent in to pinch hit once this year. Neverthe- less, the former captain of the Ath- letics is playing a position that re- quires the best of judgment as well as ability to perceive ‘quickly the slightest loophole for success. In other words, with Danny Murphy as third base coacher Lee Magee has the one best bet in any league. The veteran has not missed a game there this season, and in all this time he has not made one mistake. His excellent judgment has aided the team in winning several close battles. Nationals—Yantic. If the weather man smiles today, the local fans will see the opening of the Yantic-Nationals series this afternoon at Yantic. The ball field at Yantic is about 100 yards from the end of the trolley line. A special car will leave the square at 2.45, arriving in Yantic at 3.15. The game starts at 3.30 sharp.

Y., May 21.—With rain falling in Ithaca tonight and inclement £ FINANCIAL AND GOMMERCIAL MARKET MODERATELY ACTIVE. But Trading Was Mostly in Low Priced War Specialties. New York, May 21.—Developments in the foreign exchange markets today were regarded as of more importance than the day’s rather inconclusive ses- sion on the stock exchange. Demand sterling fell to 4.7, the lowest rate since our panic of '1873; francs de- clined to the lowest quotation within the memory of exchange dealers and Italian remittances were virtually un- salable. Later in the day London bills recovered a trifile on rumors that ar- rangements had been concluded for the release of more gold at Ottawa. In the opinion of experts, unless the strain soon is relaxed, foreign finan- cial conditions will reach the point where most if not all the nations now at war may have to declare a double monetary standard—eold and paper. It is generally understood that Eng- land is financing the immediate needs of France and Russia and Italy’s pro- jection into the conflict is calculated to add to Great Britan'si financial bur- dens, Trading in stocks was almost twice as large as in the early days of the week, but the peculiar character of the day’s operations may be appre- ciated from the fact that a Very large percentage of the turnover was in cne of the low-priced war specialties— Crucible Steel—which rose 4 3-8 points to its highest price. Bethlehem Steel and Westinghouse gained as much or more and other specialties in the same class were prominent throughout. United States Steel more than held its recent recovery, despite denials of “war contract” rumors. Coppers and a score of unclassified stocks rose one to_three points, best prices being made in the final dealings. Northern Pacific was the only Invesiment issue to manifest heaviness, but minor roads like Missouri Pacific,’ Chesapeake and Ohio, and Rock Island showed increas- ing weakness for reasons more or les? obvious. Total sales of stocks amounted to 396,000 shares. . Bank returns _indicating another cash gain were a factor in local money markets, call loans declinuing to one per cent., the lowest quotation in two years. Bonds were heavy in the main, note- worthy exceptions being Westinghouse convertible &'s and Distillers’ Secur] ties 5's, which made material gains. Total sales, par value, were $2,045,000. U.

LONGEST GAME OF SEASON. Chicago Defeats Red Sox After Bat- tling 17 Innings—Score 3 to 2. Chicago, May 21.—Chicago and Bos- ton played the longest game of the sea- son today, the former winning 3 to 2 after 17 innings. Incidentelly, this was Faber's seventh straight victory. Mays weakened in the 17th. Weaver doubled and Quinlan was hit by a pitched ball. Schalk beat out a hit and Daly batted for Faber with the bases filled. He singled to left and Weaver scored the winning run. The locals took an early lead in the second by bunching hits for two runs, but when Russell weakened the visitors tied up the count. Faber replaced Russell and pitched a grand game with excellent support behind him. Mays also pitched masterly ball until the fatal last inning after replacing Shore in the eighth. Speaker was ordered out of the game by Umpire O'Loughlin for arguing a decision at_first base. Hoblitzel was spiked by Schalk when the latter was running to first base and had to re- tire.
