Defeated the Chathams by a score of
- so H.

The indoor bail teams of the Guards
and the Chathams played a lively game
at the Guards hall last night There
was a large and enthusiastic audience
present and both teams were literally
applauded. The score was IS to y in favor
OF the Guards. which was a very pleasant
surprise o the friends of the latter
This being the first match game of the
Guards team IL was hardly expected it
would win. and consequently victory was
all the more grateful. IL was evident
from the first. however, that the team was
a strong one
The game was fun Of snap and vigor
from start TO finish and the audience had
many opportunities to applaud, which it
did cheerfully. Both teams did
good work. For the Guards the battery
work of Messrs. Coleman and Stoddard,
and all around work Of Capt. J. Ferris
Cam at left short were the main features.
At pitching. Mr. Coleman proved 10 be an
expert. Mr.. Stoddard fine work behind the

NEW Yo3K's CHEAP MONEY.
Financial Independence of the Ma
ton Clearly Proven,

Financial Independence of the Ma
ton Clearly Proven.
Washington, Dec SIN speaking of the
present situation OF the money market, Mr..
Coffin, the acting controller of the curren-
cy, said to-day: IF any one doubts the
financial Independence of the United States
he should study the quotations showing
current rates of interest on loans in New
York, London and other places. 1t will be
found that the rate for demand loans YES
terday in New York, 218 per cent, was as
low as In any European city, and lower
than in London, Berlin. Hamburg and
Amsterdam In these centers rates ranged
from 2l2 to Az per cent. This fully ac-
counts for the non-import of gold by the
United States, although our heavy exports
of cotton, corn and wheat have establish
ed a large balance of trade in our favor.
This is all the more remarkable while
such large amounts of money are needed
for moving our great crops, and there is
1921 000OO0 OF money withdrawn from cir
culation because locked IN in
the treasury balance This condition
demonstrates beyond question there is no
lack of circulating medium in this coun-
try, but perhaps the most valuable lesson
it presents is that in international trade
balances can be settled without the use Of
gold or other metallic money simDlv
through extension of credit by adjustment
of interest rates provided always there
is no question as to a single standard of
values on which these credits are based ."
