Looms Up as One of Donovan’s Best Twirlers. “If that big fellow ever acquires control, he will be as difficult Yo hit as Rube Waddell was in his best days,” remarked Bill Donovan one afternoon during the spring training campaign of the Yankees at Macon. He was speaking of Slim Love, who was warm- ing up at the time in front of the grand stand. ‘“No left hander since Rube’s time had such a good fast ball. His curve breaks fast and his great height will add to his effectiveness,” contin- ued the Yankee manager. Ten days ago Slim Love was just a bench warmer with a very low rating among Donovan's pitchers. He was the only one of eight veteran boxmen who had not been allowed to start a game. His 1916 record of poor control was againet him, and it was not sur- prising in_view of all the pitching talent at Donovan's disposal that big Slim had not been called upon. He had been in three games, but only To finish up after some other boxman had fared badly. That was ten days ago. Today Love looms up as one of the best of the Tankee pitchers. At least, he gives promise of better results than other pitchers who were more highly re- garded up to a short time ago. In a s'retch of a little more than a week Tove has pitched 23 innings for the Yarkees and has mot been scored on. 7“5 and a half games, figured from - standpoint of nine inning contests, T as allowed nine hits, wa'ked five and fanned 11. No wonder Dono- . ow regards the big left hander of his best bets and plans to 1im plenty of work in the future. Sox should conscript a few runs from the Springfield club. « so Cricket Do your duty — buy at least one bond, then buy another at THE THAMES NATIONAL BANK BATTLED FOR SIXTEEN INNINES Waskington sud Cleveland Play Tie -Gasus After.

Best Quotations of the Made in the Final New York, June 12—Trading pro- ceeded with greater precaution in the stock market today, a logical result of latest factors in the general finan- cial situation. Foremost among these were the stiffer money rates. Call loans did not rise to their maximum of the previous day, ruling between 4 1-2 and 4 per cent but time accom- modations hardened half of one per- cent for most maturities. The ost conservative attitude maintained by local banks in accept- ing collateral for ioans _and a new minimum of 23.60 for Russian ex- change were among the other inci- dents that served to take the keen edge off bullish enthusiasm. These were neutralized in part by a more hopeful feeling regarding the outcome of the Liberty Loan. Transcontinentals, grangers, coalers and minor western and southwestern issues figured among the active rails at extreme gains of one to 2 1-2 points. Pacific Mail featured the steamships at a frther advance of two points. Dealings dwindled on. the rebound, the rise evidently failing to evoke out- Day Were Hours. side interest Best quotations were made in the final hour. United States Steel, which fell to 129 1-2 on the liberal offerings of the forenoon, rallied to 131 1-2 and closed at 130 5-8 a net gain of -3-4 of a point. Bethlehem Steel new stock and Lackawanna Steel made extreme gains of 1 1-2 to 8 points and Savage Arms, one of the inactive stocks. made a net gain of 38 points. Industrial Al- cohol and United: Cigar Stores were among the strongest issues at the fin- ish, the former making up much of vesterday's severe . decline. Motors, olls and sugars were backward throughout the. session. Totals sales amounteq to 775,000 shares. Bonds were incline? to droop, Pa- cifics showing some irregularity with low priced convertibles. Total sales ipar value aggregated $2,450,000. U.

Murphy’s Center Fielder Heads His Mates in Batting. Joe Shannon, the sorrel-topped cen- ter fielder, is the real batting leader of the New Haven baseball team, accord- ing to the official averages made pub- iic. Shannon is hitting the horsehide for the phenomenal average of .355 for 23 games. Shannon, by his play, is fui- filling the confidence placed in him by Manager Danny Murphy, who predicts a bright future for him. Breaking up the partnership that existed when the Shannon twins were together on the same club seems to have done a world of good for both of them. Maurice Shannon, who was sent to Baltimore, is playing a whale of a game for Jack Dunn, and Brother Joe is even doing the same thing for the Murlins. Manager Murphy opines that Joe is a real star at the tender age of 19 years and will be called higher up before long. He attributes the New Haven club’s fine showing €0 far to Buy a Liberty Bond —your share may be small, but every bit helps. THE THAMES NATIONAL BANK -_— Shannon’s hitting. ~Certainly there is no complaint about his flelding, if he continues the display of fly-stabbing he has uncovered in recent games. Frank Woodward, the well known pitcher, is hitting the ball at a terrific clip. He has amassed an average of. .400 in the few games he has played. One of the season's surprises has been furnished by Neal Ball, the old Ameri- can leaguer. A naturally weak hitter, Ball has been traveling at a record clip and shares with Shannon and Woodward the honor of being the oniy .200 hitters on the club. Ball is hitting his namesake for a mark of .329. Earl Stimpson, the speedy left field- er, leads the club in run getting with 19 tallies. Shannon is running a close second. Eastern League Batters. Bridgeport has four .300 hitters, ac- cording to the official Eastern league averages issued by Secretary Thomas A. O'Brien. King Lear is first with a mark of .420 and Outfielder Carcoran ! is next with a mark of .371. Pitcher Dug Smith is going at a .333 clip and Joe Briggs has an average of .318. Lear is the real league leader, as Fia- | herty of New Haven and Williams of | Lawrence, who rank ahead of him, have taken part in only a few games. Bridgeport and Worcester are tied In | team batting with an average of .26 and Johnny Prieste is second among the base stealers with a mark of S. Leading Batters. A.B. R. H. Ave. Flaherty, N.

Remarkable Performances at the Traps by Lads in Their 'Teens Speaks Well for the Nation and the Sport of Trapshooting. By PETER P. CARNEY. Editor National Sports Syndicate. Your Uncle Samuel hasnt' the least cause for worry over the shooting abi’ity of Young America, for the lads of the coming generation are daily demonstrating that they are quite pro- ficient in the use of firearms, especially the trapgun. Great performances have been recorded at the traps by boys wearing knickerbockers. These boys are not confined to any one locality they can be found anywhere from Maine to Oreson. Possibly the best known and the best shot of the younger contingent of trapshooters is William E. Phillips, J of Chicago, Tll. Master Phillips s 1 vears old and one of the best shots of the Lincoln Park Gun club and the South Shore Country club. Shooting two years, he is now on the 19 yards' mark in handicap events. He shot from the 18 yards' mark in the Grand American handicap in St. Louis ast August, and in the Consolation handi- cap tied for first honors with 96 breaks in_100 targets. The poorest score that Phillips, Jr., is credited with in the past year was at the South Shore Country club to: nament, when he broke 92 out of 100 clay targets. Later at the same club he broke 95 targets in 100 thrown. In the Illinois state shoot at La Salle he broke 48 out of 50 targets, and in the Metropolitan Gun club shoot (Chicago) he won first honors with 139 breaks in 150 targets. Here he had a run of 2 straight. In the tournament at Peru, Ind., last July he broke 99 out of 100, and in successive tournaments of the Lincoln Park Gun club he broke 87 for the Clarke trophy, 98 on Peters’ Sheli day and 48 out of 50 on U. S Shell day. He had a run of 10 straight on Peters' Shell day. Young Phillips has hopes of being the “cham- pion of champions” and the G. A H. winner one of these das. His father won the Grand American in 1912, Chicago furnishes us with another remarkable trapshooting prodigy in 8- vear-old Jimmy Cooper, who -is one of the regulars of the Long Lake Gun club. His father is a veteran live bird shooter and is taking a great interest in the development of the “coming champion,” as he fondly calls him. Young Cooper broke 41 out of 50 tar- gets with a 28 gauge gun recently and won a gun through this shooting. Another littie fellow who inherited his shooting ability is A. Wade Strow- ger, the 7 vear old son of Allan W. Strowger, president of the Portland (Ore.) Gun club. Young Strowger uses a 28 gauge gun and appears in all of the Portland Gun club tournaments. New England aseerts it hds the best juvenile trapshot in America in Phipps G. Moshier of the Boston A. A. Mo~ shier is the son of W. D. Moshier of Hopkinton, Mass. The senior Moshier is president of the Brampton Gun club and it was here that young Moshier learned to break clay targets. He is 16 years of age, a member of the Bos- ton A. A. trapshooting team, and one of its scratch shooters. Moshier re- cently averaged 92 per cent. on 500 targets thrown in zero weather. He has won the high average and high gun trophy at the Brampton club for the past two years. There are exceptional trapshots in every section. In the neighborhood of Chappaqua, N. Y. they claim that Perry Brevoort Turner, 11 years old, is just about the best there is. At a shoot of the Ossining-Briarcliff Gun club recently Perry broke 46 straight in one event and 47 out of 50 in an- other. Young Turmer Is the grandson of John I D. Bristol and learned to N. S.
