DETROIT. Aug. 1.-The tail-enders of
the American League had no difficulty in
disposing of the Washington team il
this afternoons game of baseball.
After pitching beautiful ball for three
innings Townsend went up in the air,
and the Tigers hit his curves hard. In
spite of good support the game ended in
a lop-sided defeat for the Senators, the
score being thirteen TO nothing.
Townsend Wild.
Townsend gave no less than twelve
bases on balls, and contributed a hit by
pitcher and wild pitch at critical mo-
ments. Elberfeld profited by Town
sends courtesy no less than five times,
and the other time he hit safe.
In spite of the boots of the crowd the
unlucky twirler had to take his medi-
cine, and the last innings of the game
when Detroit was at bat developed into
a farce.
The weather was TO the liking OF
Sieyer, and he had the visitors at his
mercy throughout the game. He did not
issue a single pass. and Washington's
seven hits were scattered so that only
once did they get man TO third base.
Caught at the Plate.
This was in the fourth inning. when
Keister singled, got to third on Cough
Inns hit. and tried to come home when
the latter stole second. Gleason re-
turned McGuire's throw perfectly, and
the chubby third baseman was an easy
out.
a superb catch by Coughlin of a foul
and a spectacular effort by Ryan near
the club house were the fielding fea-
lures of the game. The score:

IMMENSE MULE DEMAND

Revival OF Business viii Be Caused by
Good Crops and Other Con-
ditions.

Mr.. II. T. Bruce, prominent mule dealer
Of Memphis. Tenn. commenting upon the
mule outlook and the probable demand. has
the following:
The drouth last year affected the South
fully as much as the West. In measure
more so. great part of the cattle fe,d
comes from the North ana when prices
nre high In the latter section they are 'out
of sight In the South. All last winter. with
the exception of Louisiana, 10 Southern
state took her usual quota of horses or
mules. That one State was a good buyer
because her rice crop raised on the ir,i.
gated lands. was an excellent one. This
winter all those sections that were dormant

cerned, will be right In line for supplies
The outlook for cotton is OF the best. In

GATES TRYING TO UNLOAD.

About this time the crowd came to the
conclusion that Gates was simply bidding
up the price in order to get rid of the
large quantity of expensive corn that he
had been forced 10 take ON deliveries The
demand fell off and forthwith the price Of

the fact that the bull party in July had Il
tremendous quantity of cash stuff to get

In September today was attributed to COW

PREFERENCE WAS SHOWN
FOR CHEAP SECURITIES.
United States Steel Renewed the Strug-
Gle to Advance, but Again Met Heavy
Sales at Every Stage.

New York, July 17.-The aggregate sales
OF stocks today show further Increase
In the volume Of dealings which fnirly
crossed the mlllion.share mark Substantial
upward progress WINS made and the market
was broad IN the sense that large amount
OF different securities were dealt in and
the trading was also better distributed
among the few stocks In which the prin-
cipal activity was centcred.
The same preference was shown for the
low priced stocks today, with the exccp-
tlon Of speculative incursion into the
trunk lines aud Nandcrbllts
An attempt was made TO bring the specu-
lation back into the high priced Western
railroads, but 1t viii be observed that the
desire to take profits ON the considerable
advance which those stocks have had was
still too eager to admit OF much upward
progress.
The United States Steel stocks renewed
the struggle to advance, but again met
heavy sales at every stage. Some of yes
terday s conspicuous low priced stocks were
acutcly affected by prohttaking This was
notably true of the Chicago and Alton
stocks, The evidence Of profit taking IN
these and sudden relapse Of over > points
