RUSH MEDICAL ELEVEN
HAS STRONG MAKEUP
st. Louis University Scheduled to OPP
pose a Formidable Antagonist at
Sportsman'a Park Tomorrow.

st. Louis University appears to be up
against pretty strong proposition in the
| football line tomorrow. It will face the
Rush Medical College team at Sports
| mans Park, the visiting eleven seeming to
be about as dangerous an opponent as
any the university has met in late years.
Players from the leading Western uni
| versities, Wisconsin. Chicago and Mime
completed their collegiate course and
taken up the study Of medicine.
Pierson, former University Of Wiscon-
sin man, Is one of the well-known figures
on the visiting team. He Is said to be a
great ground gamer and lends his part
to the weight Of the team, his avoirdupois
being 1S4 pounds.
Laird Of Chicago, who played on the
Chicago team for two seasons. Is end on
the Rush team, He is also OF consid-
higher fsure than the average Western
end.
.Dondanville is another former player
Of the University Of Chicago: He played
1902, and has been noted as college
sprinter.
His football career commenced, at Nj
agara University and continued at st.
Marys He weighs 17S pounds. In his
last year at college he won both the 20
and the 440 yard dashes. as well as the
hlgn jump.
will oppose st. Louis tomorrow, and De-
laney's team seems to have a hard strug
gle on Its hands; While While, the e. medies die; have
probably have a slight edge in speed
1t Is uncertain exactly who will serve as
officials. but Connett is spoken of as the
man likely to be selected by the local
players.
Smith Academy will tie up with Blees
at Macon tomorrow. and this game will
be about the most important in local
scholastic circles until the High-Smith
game OF Thanksgiving Day. In fact, the
contest is arousing nearly as much inter-
est at present as the closing game Of the
season.
Blees's overwhelming defeat of the High
most formidable antagonists. They are
credited with having played remarkably
quick, Snappy game against High School
and with having shown considerably more
speed than the red and black team.
Coach Mcmillan has announced the fol-
lowing lineup as likely for Smiths team
In to-morrow's game:
Curby. right end; Standard. right tackle;
tie, left guard; Brown, left tackle; Camp
bell left end; K'mbrough. quarter; Tilton,
right half; Hellman. left half: Hoevel,
full back
This lineup assumes that Captain Nolte
will be able to get back to his place at
most Of the week with an injured leg.
Klipstein, who has been playing at CEN
ter. will be taken along as a substitute
for the line. Allen will probably go as an
alternate for the backs. Stanard has been
in great form of late and his weight
should be Of great assistance TO the line

New York. Nov. 12-Nothing has oc-
Cured at New Haven to shake the faith
of those who have confidence that the
Yale team will win from Princeton Sat-
urday. The reports of injuries to players
are always exaggerated in proportion to
the hysterical condition Of the undergrad
yates. No player of the Yale eleven will
be permitted to go intp the game next
Saturday unless he is in condition to play.
The censor of physical form Is q slightly
deaf gentleman named Mike Mu. ply,
whose word is law and whose mandates
are obeyed as II he were the au ocrat OF
destiny. If man is unfit Murphy says
to intimate that he has discovered any
weakness on the part OF those who con-
stitute the blue eleven.
Princeton mas lost none of its confidence.
Ross McClave, the Tigers star plunging
full back. has been declared Ineligible to
play in the Yale game by the faculty
Committee on Athletics. The disqualifica-
ton of McClaye seriously criPples R the
of victory at New Haven.

barred provides that no man shall be eligi-

CHEER THE CRIMSON.
Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 12.-Two thou
sand cheering and singing students
marched to Soldiers Field this afternoon
and gave the crimson football team a
tremendous ovation. The team caught
the inspiration, and in a twenty minute
scrmmage against the second team put up
the best football that has been seen at
Harvard this year. There was little
fumbling. the team played hard and fast,
and on the defensive the varsity men
had the second team to a standstilL.
The varsity scored two touchdowns,
and would have had third but for

Owing to the sudden cloud under which
boxing at Omaha has fallen as a result
of recent 'battle'' there between Tom
my Ryan Of Philadelphia and Billy
Rhodes Of the Nebraska city. st. Louis
Tommy Sullivan will miss out on a match
In which he seemed sure Of having good
chance against a well-known boxer.
Frank Hart. manager Of Sullivan, had
practically completed arrangements to
send his protege against either Kid Herr
man or Clarence Forbes in Omaha, Sandy
Griswold, sporting editor Of a Nebraska
paper, having been In communication with
him regarding such match.
The St. Louis man was thought to have
frst-class chance against either fighter
and he would almost certainly have been
matched had 1t not been for the sudden
disrepute into which the sport fell on ac-
count Of the farcical exhibition put up by
Rhodes and Ryan.
Now Hart has a chance for a match
with some local man. Billy Huber has
been suggested as an opponent for Sui
livan, the fight to take place before some
North Side institution-Mike Walshs pace
In all probability. Sullivan ought to be
in good trim of late as he has been train
ing for one or two battles that were called

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, April 15.-The notable fea-
ture of to-day's stock market was the
decided falling off in the volume of
business. Aggregate sales for the day
barely reached 500, 900 shares compared
with over 100000 shares yesterday, and
1,250 900 on Monday.
There was some continued demand to
cover contracts to-day, but there was
also evidence of further liquidation Of
a substantial but not at all a precipi-
tate character. AS prices reached a
higher level, there was the inevitable
selling which always follows a violent
decline, by lucky traders who got in
at the bottom and are quick to take
profits, and also on the part of buyers
of a more influential character, who
bought on the decline to support the
market and to reassure sentiment with
the purpose of preventing needless
sacrifices of values. There was a large
amount of this kind of buying on Mon
day and yesterday morning during the
struggle to turn the market Upwards.
The fact that Northern Securities on
the curb. although quiet, ruled at a
level below last nights close all day,
was an additional incentive to caution
on the long side. Nevertheless. there
was considerable buying at different

New Orleans, April 15.-The spot
cotton market was unusually quiet to-
day. Quotations unchanged.
Futures at the opening were 8 to
points higher than yesterdays closing
figures and soon gained 2 to points
additional. The advance was caused
by Unexpectedly favorable Liverpool
cables, which told of comparatively
heavy spot trading at unchanged
prices and a slight advance in futures
when it was confidently expected that
Liverpool would show a marked de-
cline in the American rings yesterday.
Private cables were even more encour-
aging to the long side than the official
report on quotations. The fluctua-
tons were frequent but narrow. La
ter in the day the market gradually
eased off until the early morning gains
had all been lost, the board figures
at the close being practically the same
as last evenings closing prices.

The markets developed little interest

influence. Signs of a shrinkage in the

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, April 15.-The cotton mar
ket opened firm at an advance of
S@7 points, under a somewhat better
average of cable news than expected,
and following the call, displayed still
further strength under renewed cover
ing by old crop shorts with May and
July once more the chief object of at
tention. The former option closing last
night at 10.37c, opened this morning
at 10.42c, and then sold up at 10.50c,
while July closing yesterday at 9.99c,
first sold at 1905 and then advanced to
100Sc. There was apparently little in
the early news to explain the firmness
aside from the position of May and
July contracts. Weather news was
fairly favorable and while the port
receipts for the day were slightly I'M
der those of last year, the figures
being 10,206 bales against 1854, the
interior movement was regarded as
bearish and the estimates for the
weeks into-sight showed an expanding
tendency, 100000 bales being popular
ly expected against an actual of 49,,
COS last year. Rumors were also cir
culated that some of the May and July
shorts had made private settlements
with the bull pool and this was thought
in some quarters to mean that the
clique leaders were not disposed to
attempt an actual corner. This view
was perhaps encouraged by the liz
uidation which became apparent at
the higher levels, leading to consid-
cradle room selling and from the
highest price May was forced down
10 points, while July reached 1850
Later, however, the pool bought again
and toward the close the market was
advanced to about the best of the day
under fresh scare of the shorts, with
market finally net 10@13 points high
er and the total sales futures esti-
mated at $4,000 bales.

points in the list of seemingly good
character and based on individual
causes. Missouri Pacific was well taken
all day on it's report of net earnings
for February. showing an increase over
February of last year Of $373,756, which
is no less than 70 per cent increase.
The other members of the Gould group
moved in sympathy. Baltimore and
Ohio's report for March showed an
increase in net earnings of "a per cent,
and was freely bought in consequence.
Norfolk and Western moved up In
sympathy and was helped also by ru-
mors of a proposed increase in the
dividend rate. The annual meeting of
the New York Central stockholders
without any action towards the new
stock issue and without any evidence
to confirm recent allegations of a
change in control relieved some anxiety
and had a favorable influence.
Amongst the industrials Sugar had
the advantage of an advance in the
refined product. Metropolitan Street
Railway responded to rumors that the
question of Investigation Of it's finances
by the local municipal authorities was
decided in the negative, an advance
in the London copper market helped
Amalgamated, and pool operations
were manifest in United States Leather
stock A number of the iron and steel
industrials were inclined to advance
also. The tone of the whole market
changed late in the day when, Man
haitian began to run off on the news
that the demands of the employees had
been refused. The general market re-
acted, and in many cases fell below
last night, the Pacific and Western
stocks being notably affected. Amongst
inactive stocks there was drop of q

SPIRITS-The turpentine market
opened firm at 491ac, sales 46O, and
closed steady and unchanged, sales 60
casks. The demand was fair through
out the day, though not urgent at any
time. The inquiry indicated the possi-
BILE early development of better than
the present demand, and in anticipa-
ton of this factors are holding out for
full prices, and resisting declines. The
general feeling seems to be that the
price is now around the acceptable
trading basis, judging from the bust
ness that has been done during the
past few days at this figure. The

Baxter and Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, April 15.-Liverpool made
a very good showing this morning, not
withstanding our loss of over 20 points
yesterday. That market showed no
loss whatever up to the hour of our
opening. This encouraged local buyers
and prices rose to points. There
was no news of consequence, but yes
terday's sellers were anxious to buy
back and there was little offering. the
fact is, we have had repeated predlc-
tions of cotton being rushed to New
York and yet stocks keep down to a
very low point and there is no evil
dence whatever of any large quantities
being shipped this way, and until it
reaches here, sellers are holding aloof
and the bulls are likely to maintain
their position. 1t is yet a question
whether the crop will reach 11,000, 900
bales, Savannah receipts have been
falling off of late and it is possible
that other points may also suffer a
shrinkage, in which case estimates will
again drop off to a crop not exceeding
10, $50, 600. Both sides were Indifferent

COTTON.

Spot cotton closed quiet and steady
and unchanged, with sales by factors
of 81 bales. Tho demand was still in
different, with exporters inquiring more
to ascertain the condition of the mar
ket than for business. The receipts
were 1920, against 1874 last year. The
receipts locally have been falling off
ing outside attention. BY some it is
claimed to indicate little cotton held
back of the towns. In the f. o. b. mar
ket the demand was moderate, with
basis good middling currently quoted
