New York, Sept. 11.-Stocks moved ir-
regularly and for the most part along
narrow lines in todayS market. which
was again dominated almost throughout
by the professional element. The crop
report so much better than many had
expected, might have exercised some in

tinued weakness of the United States

displayed tirmneSS at the close. Advices
indicate that another advance in discount
rates may be expected both from London
and Berlin. This. it is assumed, is in line
with the policy of the leading financial
institutions Oh Europe to discourage gold
shipments to this country. The known
movements of local currency point to a
nominal loss by the banks to the sub
treasury. Sterling exchange was again
weak with further offerings of cotton and
grain bills. Later that market made par

some irrcgularity again and the move

"Crawford is a marvel in many ways"
continued Poole. There is not a man
playing baseball today who has so few
vices as the big fellow from Nebraska.
He does not drink or smoke; he keeps
the best of hours, always getting his
fun quota of sleep; he does not eat
with his knife, so his chances of cut
ting his throat are extremely remote;
the birds know nothing Of him, for on
no occasion has he ever been known to
throw money to them-in fact he is a
model ball player. No manager ever
mas to figure on what Crawford is do
ing at any hour of the day or night
He can always rest assured that the
big fellow is doing nothing that will in
the least impair his value or ability as
a player. And all these qualities COM
bined are going to keep Crawford in
the game perhaps longer than any
player ever connected with baseball
Why, it would not surprise me to see
him playing in fast company twenty
five years from now, provided he cares
to continue in the game that long,
Crawford is less than twenty-five years
Of age, and with his constitution and
the excellent care he takes of himself
all the time he should be a good
athelete up to the time he is fifty An
son lasted to that age; McPhee, Zim-
rner. Mcguire and several others al
