New York, April 17.—Professional selling was again a potent influence in s i market, pressure from that quarter inducing further public liquidation, aithough many losses were largely retrieved in the later dealings. The many vexatious problems attach- ing to the government's proposed pol- icy of taxation were the subject of general comment, and their probable effect was seen in the heaviness of certain spectalties. At the beginning there was a renew al of yesterday's offerings of ship- pings, equipments, munitions and kin- dred issues, recessions in these groups extending from one to three points. Rallies stemmed the decline. for a time, but fresh selling sent quotations to lower levels, with another recovery at midday. Operations in the afternoon were meagre, Wwith a gradual advance of prices to the day's highest levels. The only notable exceptions to the later improvement were the motors, some of which were at lowest prices in the final trading. Shippings offered obstinate resist- ance to the heavy selling of the fore- noon, which was based upon reports of the appearance of an enemy.sub- marine in. American waters. Marine preferred rose to 79 7-8 after its set- back to 75 1-4, and closed at 79, a net gain of 1 1-2. Coppers were moderately depressed at the outset, but rose briskly after publication of the annual statement of the Utah company, which disclosed enormous gains in profits and surplus. Extreme recessions of two to_four points were scored by Bethlehem Steels and Lackawanna Steel. Olls, leathers, fertilizers and sugars were subject to variable tendencies, with numerous miinor epecialties, most of these, however, recording net losses of one. to three points. / Ralls were strengthened by the news the soft coal miners and their princi- ‘Bonds were inclined to lose ground, Total sales (par In government isswes Panamas point. lower on call. i were STOCKS.

JOHNSON’S GREATEST Fanned Three Pinch Hitters on Ten Pitched Balls. the best pitchers the game has had, and that is saying a whole mouthful.

He, , Was a member of the Washington team, but that was before Johnson :lr::-:ed :t galning fame on the dia- and marrying a congressman'; daughter. P e ‘alter, however, had this over his original, that his téam in two seasons (1912 and 1913) finished in _ second place, whereas; during Winnie's ca- Teer of six years with them, the Wash- ington’s could get no higher than sixes place (in 1597). and then had to be satisfied wth a tie, the Brooklyns fin- ishing with the same percentage of ®ames won and lost. _In 1901 Winnie was again with the Washingtons aft- er a season’s sojourn with the Glants, and the Senators again finished in sixth _place. 1n 1910, Johnson's fourth season with the Washingtons, he pitched in the opening game (April 14), his_oppon. ents being the Philadelphias, who were destined that year to win the cham- pionship of the American league and of the world. He gave them but one hit and shut them opt by a score of 3 to 0. This feat, of course, brought him and his team_ more prominently before the publis; but after that first grand victory he seemed to be pow- erless against the coming champions. He afterwards faced them three times and each time:was beaten by narrow scores, and 7-5. Tn the last of these three games on July S1 at Philadelphia he met Chief Bender for the first time that season. Not a run did the Chief allow the Sen- ators for eight innings. Therefore, when the Washingtons began the ninth the score was 7 to 0 against them. Then the savage offspring got - his bumps. Before the ninth inning he had allowed the Washingtons but four hits, but in that inning four hits in succession, three singles and a triple, sent three Senators over the plate, In spite of his vaunteq steadiness poor Lo lost his nerve and gave the next two batters bases on balls. This fill- ed the corners with nobody out and three runs in. At this point Eddie Plank was called upon and the Indian sadly sought the seclusion of the bench. Plank prompt- Iy struck out Bob Unglaub, who batted in place of Johnson. Then forced in a run by giving the next batter a base on balls. . An out followed, which brought the Washingtons' fifth run. Then Frank Reisling was sent to bat instead of Jack Lelivelt, and strucck otu, ending the game 7-5 in faver of the’ Athletics. It will be noticed that the only two pinch hitters, Unglaub and Reisling, struck out. The next time Johnson met the Athletics, his fifth time, he was again opposed by Chief Bender . This was on September 3, 1910, and the game proved the most remarkable of any be- tween the two teams. The Athletics were then in first place and the Sen- ators in fifth. On the previous day the Washingtons had nearly been shut out by the Athletics in both games of a double headed, the scores being 5-1 and 2-1. 'The game of September 3 was the Jast the two teams played at Washington that vear. They were scheduled to play a double-header later on, October 8, but these games were prevented by rain. After three successive defeats by the Athletics, it may be assured that Johnson was in no humor for trifling, and his team was as much in earnest as himself. However, in the very first inning the Athletics _scored a run. Brisco Lord, the first batter. who, in July, had been secured by Philadel- phia’ from Cleveland in Trade for Maurice Rath, hit for two bases. An out put him on third base, and a wild throw by Wade Kilifer, the second baseman enabled him to cross the plate. Tt was the only run scored by the Athletics in the game, and that error was In keeping wit hthe tra- ditions of the Washington team. * The Washingtons at onse tied the score in the second half ofoé OOOT score in thelr half of the first Inning and in the second took the lead by scoring once again. These runs were charsed ggainst Bender, who after the third tinning, at his own request, made room for Harry Krause. The last- named did very well until the seventh when the Washingtons added another run, making the score 3 to 1 in their ftavor. The Athletics were desperate when they began the eighth inning. Their determination to capture the game and thus make themselves more secure in in first place jed Manager Mack to rush pinch hitters to the front, by so doing he gave Johnson the opportuni- ty of making a record that will be scarcely equaled an dhardly ever sur- passed, unless the catchef drops ball after a third striks. Mack sent Topsy Hartzell to bat for Jack Bar- ry, Jack Lapp for Stuffy McInnis and Ben Houser for Ira Thomas. Johnson struck out all three of them on 10 pitchea ball The fans of Washington are not made of stone, and they include per- sons in_all ranks from the President of the United States down to the boot- black in the streets. There were real old-fashioned bootblacks in those day; who carried their weirdly decorated boxes at all hours of the day and night. Well, when Johnson struck out Hartsell. a faint cheer broks out among the high and low fans.

Woman and Child in the City. Caradiff, Wales, April 17.—Subscri] tlons _from Cardiff to pounds, an average pounds for every man, woman and child in the city. This remarkable contribution is an- indication of the solden age which the war has brousht Lo Cardift. In-no British city has such vast wealth been earned so easily and s0_quickly. At the outbreak of the war, Cardiff, had the largest export tzade in the country. . Freights began to increase. Ships doubled, trebled, quardrupled in value. Young business men, enter- ing, and daring, bought whole ts ‘on a speculative basis which ‘would almost make a New York curb broker hesitate. They reaped the re- ward of their daring. In one case a tramp steamer so old that it wa scarried on a company’s books at a nominal valuation of one pound, was sold for 80,000 pounds, and resold the next day for an even 100,000 pounds. In another case a _ steamer bought. in the midst of a vovage for 100,000 pounds realized 40,000 pounds for' its owner by the time it reached his dock, and was promptly resold for another profit of 40,000 pounds. Among the new millionaires of diff are fourteen young men who be- fore the war were shipping clerks earning not more than $10 a week. One" of .them had less than a hundred dollars in_the bank when he bought his first ship, a week after the war began, collecting the money for his initial payment by - borrowing small amounts from- a large number of friends and acquaintances. Two young bank clerks persuaded the manager of their bank to lend them 10,000 pounds with which they purchased thirty-two options which netted them $500,000 in a month. It has not been the owners only who have profited. First class dock lab- crers, especially trimmers, have earn- ed as high as 20 pounds a week. The miners, too, have earned big money. and the shopkeepers, especially the Jewelers: and the department stores, have never known such prosperous times. The day when the poor man could make a huge speculative fortune in Cardiff now has passed, however. The fovernment restrictions on shipping .ave put a stop to the free and easy dealings of the first year of the war. Three-fourths of Cardiffs war-cre- ated wealth was piled up in the first Jear of the war. Nowadays, a large proportion of its ' ships are under charter to the government st a mod- erate rate, and no sales of Mbips may be made without government permis- siont.
