MARKET WAS UNSETTLED Trading Was Dull After the First Hour | —Bethlehem Steel Old Stock Broke | 4 1-2 Point New York Aug. 7—Intmiations that several of the leading industrial com- panies may find it necessary _ to en- gage in new financing, annouricement of the reduction of the Studebaker quarterly dividend from 2% to 1 per cent. and the reported insistence of the administration that war prices to the allies must undergo radical down- ward revision were responsible for the cccasional unsettlement manifested by today's stock market.

Steel started off impressively, but soon reacted 1% points to 126 3-8, closing at 126 7-8, a net loss of 7-8 of a point. Other industrials and equip- ments pursued much the same course, a fe wending at moderate gains.

But not so on the tracks of the United States. Miller plans to sail for Australia on August 7th and it is his intention to ride “down un- der” as a free lance until he can secure permanent emplovment. Miller weighs in the nelghborhood of 143 ounds. In this country he could on¥ take part in steeplechases. In Australia things are different. The limit of welght in the Antipodes is a little over ten stone, and Miller knows that he will have no dif- ficulty in keeping under the necessary weight. Miller recently has been training horses for Edward Arlington on Long Island tracks. Although he has been fairly successtul, he is in love with the more strenuous end of the game and has practically secured his passports for "Australia. If he duplicates his 1906 success on the tracks of the is- land continent, Miller will soon be the idol of the Australia racing fans. In the good old days of the Percy- Gray law Miller had the happy faculty of winning races with one-legged horses. He also had many a great racer under him in the big stake events. He was a great judge of pace and a strong finisher. Over a short distande of ground Milier was a bear. He had a strong pair of hands and could handle the high-spirited steeds and could just fly away from the bar- rier. If he ever happened to be on the post position with a mount he put day- light between the horse and the rest of the fleld right at the start. Many records in race riding have been hung up by Miller which still stand for the present-day jockies to shoot at. JAKE DAUBERT GETTING STIFF IN THE JOINTS Time in Sight When He'll Hit the Chute For the Minors. Always troubled with éxtremely brittle legs and ankles, Jake Daubert, the pride of Brooklyn fans for years, and captain of the team that repre- sents that city in the National league, appears to be on the chutes that lebd to minor leaguedom. Daubert has been out of the game practically the entire season and very few completed contests stand in his fayor. ‘Wilbers Robinson shortly after Dau- bert's injury, declared that Fred Mer- kle would have been worth twice what the Brooklyn club recetvea for him from Chicago If he had only been pres- ent to take the place of the busted up captain. Merkle has been playing splendid baseball for Chicago. Batting figures don’t mean all there is to ball playing. Some of the games best hitters have been hopeless at other angles of the game. Occasion- ally, however, there are players who combine all virtues and these are the greatest stars of the game. Daubert entered that class long ago. He is a splendid_fielder, always has been fast on the bases, and for several vears made a specialty of leading the Nation- al league In hitting. Jake had a terrible time getting started on his career as a ball player. No one seemed to think much of the former Pennsylvania miner After leaving Kane, where he played semi- professional baseball for a couple of vears, Daubert broke into the ranks of the professionals with Marion in the Ohio and Pennsylvania league. He never had played any position except first base and it was there he opened up in that league. Daubert’s first batting average, for the vear of 1907 shows he clouted at a 2285 clip. There must have been something striking about the way' Daubert did things, for Cleveland picked him up from Marion. The budding star, how- ever, drew small consolation _ from Cleveland, for he didn't play sufficient games to get into the American league averages. He was sent to Nashville, from where h ewas purchased by Tole- do. Again he went to the Southern league, this time to Memphis, from where he was picked off by Brooklyn, which had an agreement that provided it could take any member of the Mem- phis club. Daubert has been the club's regular first sacker nearly ever since and he kit 300 or better for Brool Iyn six years. . SPORTING NOTES The Red Sox have five more games to play than the White Sox before completing the year's schedule. Western ‘baseball critics have decid- €d to “lay off” Umpire Byron, a§ that plucky official is doing good work in spite of the hammer throwers, - Fred Mitchell has pulled the Cubs together and they are making another fight to wind. up in the first division.
