Hitch Over a Ball Game.

The local followers of amateur base ball
have been interested in prospective game
between the teams representing the Bureau
Athletic Club and the Eastern Athletic
Club. which would undoubtedly bring to-
gether all the crack amateurs in the city.
The game was all but arranged, but at the
last moment the representatives of the
bureau team found objections to a certain
player proposed for the Easterns and all
negotiations were temporarily called off.
There is still, however. a good prospect
for this game being played. The Easterns,
who issued the first challenge, announce
that their challenge Is still open.

TECHNICAL WON.
Central Defeated in a Loosely Played
Game.

The game yesterday afternoon at Ameri-
can League Park between the Technical
and Central high schools, which was the
third game of the High School champion
ship series, was won by the former by the
one-sided score of II to 9. The batting
of the Technical team was the heaviest
seen for several years in the High School
series. Heine for the Tech did good bat
ting, getting three hits, two of them being
two-baggers. Geib, Ballenger and SENIOR
also did good work with the stick. The
playing of Carter at short was sensational.
For the Centrals Peck at second and Ma
coffin In left carried off the honors. The
latter, after a hard run, robbed Ballenger
of what he thought a sure three-bagger.
Technical started off in the first by max
ing four runs, while Central failed to score.
For the remaining eight innings the win
ners had everything their own way.

Notes Of the Game
In five of the nine innings Washington
sent only three men to bat
1t took RUDE little while to settle down,
but after he did there was nothing to it.
No catchers have been seen here this sea
son who throw as we'll as Shrek and Pow
ers
Demont was little better than Holmes. He
looked like candidate for d hospital when
he Hmped to the bat
l.. Cross single to right n me fifth uben
Shreck had started to steal was fine ex-
hibition of the hit and run
Powers played we'll at first In place OF
Davis. who had not yet sufficiently recover
ed from his shock of the day before to
go in.
Murphy beat out bunt in beautiful style
IN the fourth. Everybody, including the
opposition looked for him to hit IT ont.
Murphy continues his magnificent work
1t was perhaps a blessing in disguise that
took Lajoie from the Athletics. The second
baseman Is the find of the last two years.
Davis came out to coach in the fourth
when his team mates were three runs be-
hind and had not scored yet His presence
had an inspiring effect, for the score was
tied before the inning ended
The double play made by Cross. Murphy
ana Powers in the eighth was O thing of
bea'-.y. The ball that DeIehanty drove to
Lave was hot enough to go through the
captain, but he han iled it in fauItIess fash
ion.
Pickering was kept busy retracingr his
steps between second and first on attempts
to steal. Slreck managed to foul the ball
almost every time the big outfielder start
ed. In the first inning he went down four
times before he finally stole.
Setback worked lard to worry WatldeIl
and some of his comments were funny. In
the seventh, after Waddell had gona close
to the Washington bench after a foul Sell
bach said in plain allusion to recent es-
capade of the big pitcher, ''Rube, tie circus
is in town"
Manager Mack Is doing with Pickering
what he did for Davis. Shreck, Murphy
Powers. Seybold, Fultz and several Others
He Is making ball player of him. If Com
ME continues to mold the colts and cast
offs into stars, he will be recognized as
great developer of talent as Manager
Hanlon.
Those out-of-town critics who find Ii diff
cult to understand how the Athletics won
the pennant last year. will have a chance
to learn why when the champions go on the
road for the first western tour. No club in
the country is playing faster ball at the
present time. The fielding is of the Eight
ming variety. and the hitting hard and
punched. Three Of the twirlers, Plank
Bender and Waddell, are in shape to pitch
winning ball.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. Nov. ia movement to
cover shorts amongst the professional
traders developed in the late stock mark
ct today and carried prices to Level
substantially over last night. This was
after the failure OF an attempt on the
part of the organized bear party to drive
prices to lower level Having sold
United States Steel, preferred, and Penn
sylvania as far down as within their
power, they picked out st. Paul today as
the next leading stock upon which to
center operations. The result was an
extreme decline in st. Paul of 13s. The
rest of the market was very little af-
fected in sympathy. As a result of the
late covering movement st. Paul recov-
cred all of its loss and the most promi-
nent active stocks gained between ! and
2 points. Pennsylvania especially was
inclined to rally from its recent severe
depression. Today's gain for Pennsyl-
vania is full points. United States
Steel, preferred completely lost its re-
cent pre-eminence in the trading and fell
well down in the list of active stocks,
though it shared well in the days

Cotton Letter.

Raleigh. n c.. Nv. 13.-The cotton mar
ket would undoubtedly be trifie more
interesting, from the standpoint of re
viewer, If something new happened. AS
1t Isl there is absolutely nothing TO add
to what has been recorded from week
to week for nearly two months now. The
crop appears to be short enough TO sug-
gest a disaster. This comes not from
he fact that a fair yield has failed to
develop, but from the fact that the world S
requirements are in excess of the produc-
ton of what is now believed to be the
production With no reserve to draw
upon, and the current crop below needs
OF the trade it is small wonder that the
market shows unaccountable strength ut
the top. In the face of a record move
ment, the market fails to break. Just
when everything looked favorable for a
reaction on Thursday, the tide turned,
Liverpool came higher and the top notch
was reached Longs realized over and
around eleven cents as was the part of
wisdom. Shorts were to be found and
these lost money Such demand for cotton
has not been known at this season of the
year The Oldest trader in the market
is puzzled at the position. But this is
not surprising. The like has not been
seen since the Civil War, and all prece-
dents have lost their force. Many of the
reliable traders seem to have lost their
cunning in speculative way. They play
for reactions which do not come and
cover at big losses The outside inter
est is large. So is the New Orleans in
terest. New Orleans is talking fifteen
cents for cotton on a crop under ten and
bo1 hol &c
trade in the business than our friends
in the Southern city.
Here in New York the prominent bulls
are still believers in the market and
own more or less cotton. But this long
interest is not a menace in any sense,
as enormous profits have been taken ard
the load is not what it was at q cent per
pound lower. We would like to take this
opportunity of correcting what we believe
to be false impression. Cotton has not
gone up on Brown or Sully or anybody's
manipulation. When the rates for sterling
exchange dropped to about the lowest
point III ten years, all because Europe has
bought an unlimited quantity OF cotton
and the supply of cotton bills has demon
allied the exchange market, there is no
occasion to talk of manipulation. Cotton
has gone up because spinners have bought
the cotton. The actual stuff, not futures.
AS long as this continues we will see
this sort of market. There is nothing
to sell cotton short on. Everything to
induce conservative buying on any break.
The crop may prove larger than ex-
pected and the spinner prove to be IN
sane. But until that time comes moth
ing can break the market as long as the
actual stuff goes out of sight At eleven
cents caution is necessary. We may see
the fourteen or fifteen cent mark in the
spring, and still have reactions that would
shake out longs. All one can say at this
point is that there has been no change
in the market conditions to warrant any
shifting on the attitude which has pre-
vailed durig the last two months.

The close was steady within or points
of the best on the active months, and

estimated at 100000 bales, total

of the market. The activity was produc-
tive of all sorts of rumors regarding the
speculative situation and Including reports
that the big bulls were planning a corner
in December with Wall Street interests
heavily short of that position. The firm
ness in Liverpool was attributed to the
bullishness of sentiment here, and the
anxiety of spinners to make sure of sup
plies. while private advices received dur
ing the day indicated continued firmness
in the Southern spot markets. Port re-
ceipts for the day were moderate. but
the rates for tomorrow called for a heavy
movement at Texas points. The exports
