A telephone message was received at
the Art association from a man named
Van Praig- He was from New York
and he and two friends wanted to Join
the jewellers that night. Was he all
right2 Well they said so at the Pal
ace hotel, from where the telephone
message was supposed to come. So up
at the big house on the hill he went
with $50 for three tickets, and sent in
MS name and two Others-TOd Sloan
and Ed Purser.
Secretary Martin of the Art assOcfa-
ton having been long connected with
the organization has had many shocks
in his time, but this was an earth
quake. He did not know that Purser
was racetraek follower, but he knew
that Tod Sloan-well, it was rather late
ana none OF the committee was there
President Byrne of the association
was giving a dinner at the University
club and when the telephone rang up
for him he could not leave his guests.
The telephone rang again and a mes
sage was taken to him. He gave a
nasty glance at TIE note and gaSped:
Tod Sloan; not on your life"

absence of Sloan and his friends. The

The depredations of Mrs. Carrie Ma

work with the other schools endeavor-
fns to form Il school league and ac-
cording TO the management has met
with success so far. Taking everything
into consideration the baseball outlook
for the year is bright.
From the spectators standpoint, last
weeks meeting of the National league
was one Of the most important that
has been held for years. and viii re-
suit in more good TO The game. 1t has
Deen recognized for a long time, but
last year more than ever, that the de-
lays caused by players during the game
would result in it's ruination if allowed
to continue At this meeting rules TO
make the play faster were adopted, and
they are sure to improve the game
many per cent from the grandstand
view. Hereafter the catcher must be
behind the bat at all times, intentional
fouls viii be counted strikes if a pitch
er hits a player it is a ball: if the
pitcher fails to deliver the ball within
twenty seconds after he enters the box
it is q strike, If the pitcher throws the
ball any place else than to the catcher
it is a ball The common sense in these
rules must appeal to every fan, and it
is difficult to see how better improve
ment than those suggested could be
made The chances OF the base-stealer
are improved, and this will make the
game more open and. therefore. more
features of a baseball game are the
attempted steals, and under the rule
which makes the pitcher deliver the
ball to the catcher under penalty of a
bail, there will not be 50 many efforts
to catch the player off first base. Now
that the demands OF the players have
been accepted by the National league
magnateS and these improved rules
have been adopted, there is no reason
why the game should not be more
popular this year than IL has ever been
in it's history. From the result of the
meeting there are also indications that
the fight between the National and the
American leagues will be made strictly
on the level. There viii be no attempt
on the part of one to take ar unfair
advantage of the other. Both leagues
will put the best article of baseball
that they can afford before the people
ard the latter will be expected to pat
ronize that which is best This will
also be in the form of an Improvement
to the game, and for such a cloudy be-
ginning the change is almost wonder
full and the season promises to open
under more auspicious' circumstances
than ever before.

PRIVATE WIRE ADVICES.
Foreign and Industrial Conditions
Still Are Depressing Factors.
Meyer & Kiser's Telegram,

kMeyer q hlSer Telegram
NEW YORK, Nov. 4.--The foreign mar
ket continues to be depressed owing to
fears of tighter money and to the industrial
crisis in Germany. Arbitrage houses were
consequently sellers of international stocks
in this market, but their sales were of
moderate volume owing TO the extreme
narrowness of the market for Americans
in London. Prices were somewhat ire
gular, the railroads as a rule showing con-
siderable strength, with Union Pacific the
feature, while the industrials were inclined
to heaviness. Peoples Gas was notably
weak on heavy selling which was sup
posed to come from Chicago. The publica-
ton OF dispatch from Butte stating that
the Amagamated Copper Company was
curtailing the production of copper ma
terially resulted in liquidation in that
stock. There was a fair amount of sup
port around Sc. The buying of Union Pa
cifie was distinctly good. 1t is stated that
one very prominent banking house in New
York recently has bought $4,000 shares of
this stock in London, and also has been
heavy buyers of Southern Pacific in the
same market. An idea has prevailed in the
street for some time tht Union Pacific and
st. Paul should move together but to-day
in spite of the strength of Union Pacific
ST. Paul was distinctly heavy. Uncertainty
in regard to the Northern Pacific situation
continues and certainly has not been di-
minished by the contrary movements in

eTnoOn but in addition to Union Pacific,
played strength. The closing was irregular
