Domestic Happenings Were Considered Encouraging. New York, June 11—Trading in stocks today was a_trifle more active and diversified than in yesterday's in- significant session, but in other essen- tials the market showed no material changes. ‘War news again entered.into the calculations of professional operators, but domestic happenings, particularly those bearing upon industrial condi- tions, were distinctly encouraging. The most noteworthy development in the broader field of . international | finance was the resumption of gold im- ports from Canada. The inflow is ex- pected to reach substantial proportions. and_will come entirely from the Bank of England’s reserves in Ottawa, . Coppers and allied commodities un- der federal regulation strengthened on intimations that the government is likely to abandon its price fixing policy and rails were temporarily better on reports that Director General McAdoo intends to modify the standard form of_contract. Bquipments were led by unimportant issues like Colorado Fuel and Great Northern Ore, leading steels making little headway. Popular industrials kept within limited bounds and ship- pings were extremely unstable. Tobaccos and motor accessories re- flected the activities of pools at gross advances of two to four points, Su- matra_pproximating its recent_rise and United Cigars covering. Sales amounted to 375,000 shares. Domestic bonds, especially some of the high grade investment rails, were distinctly heavy, reacting one to al- most two per cent. Paris 6s also re- flected pressure, declining 1 3-4. Lib- erty issues yielded moderately. Total sales (par value) aggregated $4.275,000. U. S. bonds (dld issues) were un- changed on call. STOCKS.

THE NATIONAL GAME AS THE FRENCH SEE IT Article Written By Paris Newspaper- man Give Ump His Due. Baseball reporters who understand French appear to be badly needed in France these days, and if Christy Mathewson goes over he might take a ’ few along with him with profit. Below |- will be found an account of a game recently played somewhere in France between two teams of Yankee soldier| boys. The article was written by M. Adolphe Max, a distinguished war correspondent, and appeared in a re- cent issue of Le Mauvais Parisienne. The write-up follows: “This game, of which our beloved comrades in arms speak in terms grand, is of a puzzle to the uniniated and it is of this reason that I, who have come at once from onme of the combats, should make all clear, Briefly, this game is performed with- out the houses and a long instrument she is of wood and is jocularly domi- nated ‘bat'—with which the players, of which there are 18, divided in half, make collision with the ball, there- by escaping injuries sezous.

Max's atten- tion was diverted to something besides the “Apache” and, incidentally, the game, becaues he closes “Inning No, 1" by saying, “the player reversed their po: ions and a sign significant of zero was hung up to an accom- paniment of cheers. S ng the spectators, Max noted their strained expressions and attribut- ed them to “the practice of drinking favored water carbonique from bot- tles.” He states that he was surpris- ed to find spectators throwing these bottles at the “gentleman in the uni- form of blue,” and that he finally in- quired about it. A very polite soldier who had just hurled his bottle told Max that the gentleman was suspect- ed of being a boche. Concluding his account, the French journalist assures his readers that the hint about the gentleman being a boche didn't get past him and that he had immediately placed the gentleman as “suspect” with the nearest office of the intelligence service. me, to form a league for evil DRAFTING OF ALEXANDER HEAVY BLOW TO BASEBALL Former Pitcher Loses Chance at Re- cord Set By Mathewson. The heaviest blow that has been struck baseball fell when Grover Cleveland Alexander was drafted for the army. Alexander is undoubtedly the greatest pitcher in the game today. But Alexander's call means some- thing more than this, both to baseball as a sport and to Alexander as a pitch- er. It means that Alex cannot hope to set a new pitching record, a record of having won thirty or more games a season for four seasons. The record of three thirty-game seasons is now held jointly by Al- exander and Mathewson. They are axactly tied with a record of nine- ty-four games won in three consec- utive years. In 1303 Matty won thirty games, the following year he won thirty-three and in 1905 he won thirty-one games. In 1915 Alexander won thirty-one games, in 1916 thirty-three and last year thirty-one Here's the way Alex feels about it. “I'm human and money means as much to me as it does to anyone. But even though I'm making more money than most fellows of my age, I haven't a regret at entering the army. But I do regret not being able to having to try at Matty’s record. I believe I would be as good this year as I was last.
