NEW YORK. October 19.-Causes and ef-
fects were so clearly aligned In today
stock market that II was impossible to state
succinctly the explanations of the course OF
prices Both the London and the New FORK
markets for securities were thrown into
pronounced confusion by today's wholly I'M
expected intelligence that the Bank of Eng
land had advanced its minimum discount
figure from to 6 per cent
AS the governors of the bank had left
the rate unchanged at per cent yester-
day. Thursday being the usual day Tor
making any alteration, it had been sup
posed that that figure had been found ef-
fectve in the process of restoring the
banks reserves.
Except for the very heavy prospective
shipments OF gold to Egypt in addition to
the transfers of the metal already made TO
that country. there was no direct expiana-
ton of the banks unusual action. and 1t
was because of the absence of any that so
much CONSERVATION was excited today.
The numerous cabled adviceS received
during the day from London did not throw
much further light upon the motives for
the banks action 1t was suggested in some
Of them that the bank was DESTROYS OF fore
stalling any further demands for gold for
shipment to this country. but notwithstand-
ing yesterday afternoons weakness In
that the Bank of England was then noti-
fled that no further heavy demands were
likely for American account.
Exchange Takes Bound.
AS was to be expected. there took place
today a violent recovery in sterling ex-
change and a further adjustment of the
money market. Rates for all periods of
time loans rose to @ per cent. and that
rate was actively bid for all terms Of ac-
commodation. Money on call ruled above
per cent practically throughout the busl-
ness session. Other factors which perhaps
contributed TO the unsettlement of the
market were the decision in the prosecution
OF the Standard Oil Company in the Ohio
courts and the fines levied against the New
York Central Company for granting re-
bates to the Sugar Refining Company in
the district United States court.

Among those who saw the game Sat-

chance played part that those we'd
ded to the old methods decried, but
the science Of football was not sub
servient to fumbles and flukes. and
with one or two exceptions the best
team won. The revised rules put a
premium on strategy. resourcefulness
and vigilance, and relegate mere brute
strength to the background. and the
mimic warfare is in consequence the
more interesting and exciting. In
place Of the pound. pound. pound and
buck, buck, buck OF the old game have
come sharp dashes 81 the open, quick

brilliant runs through broken field,
sensational recOveries and spectacular
situations. which keep players and on

ment. The juggling Of the ball on
forward passes and on side kicks may

ball: the wild scramble for the pig
skin on a tumble may make the lovers
OF the old game shudder: some games
may be won by lucky chance that
will send the best team OF the field
respondent. but. all in all. the new
game is SO immeasurably better than
the old that the time is at hand for
its general and popular acceptance,
even if such is not already the case.

I ennis

Although there are dissensions in
the English governing body for terms,
officials of the United States National
Lawn Tennis association cay that the
revolution threatened abroad will not
change the decision of the Americans
to challenge for the international cup
next season. The sentiment was new
er stronger in this country to con-
tinue the effort to regain the cup EN-.
blematic of the championship of the
world, and at the meeting OF the asso-
citation at the Waldorf-Astoria next
February the formal challenge will be
sent.
The more progressive leaders within
the tennis ranks declare that the re-
form movement which had assumed
such proportions as to make 1t likely
that the present council of the English
association will be swept from Office,
is in fair way to be duplicated in
this country.
Declaring that he was not in favor
of sympathy with the working Of poll
tics in sport, the young American ex-
pert, H. L. Westfall, who has recently
returned from abroad, said that the
difficulty within the English associa-

erS.
This made the opening wedge for
professionalism to be claimed. and 1t
has been followed in several other in
stances. The feeling that has been
growing here that the men who were
active players should rule in the sport
was stronger there than here. The
actual competitors and men ut the
top Of the game on the American
courts were needed to infuse into the
sport the amount OF enthusiastic sup
port which Il: deserved. Although the
English were far ahead of this country
In this respect they had been quick
TO realize the need of changes and
were sure to make them.
Another OF the American experts ia
miliar with the conditions abroad and
at home stated that there was sure
to be a wedding out" of what he
termed the "old fogy government" in
this country at the coming meeting.
The player said that the amateur
standing Of Beals c. Wright. of the
American team, had been talked of
abroad because Of his connection with
sporting manufacturing firm in this
country.
From rules in process of formula
ton it was probable, he said, that Mr..
Wright would never again find a place
on an American team. Wallace Mey-
ers, the English expert. was quoted as
saying that IF 1t were Henley instead
Of the tennis international the stew
ards would never allow the man in
question to pull an oar"
A number of the American players
saw in the upheaval abroad the sign
of changed conditions in this country.
The sport needed younger men and
new blood" as leaders. All of the
action which had been provocative of
cries of favoritism should be done
away with. they averred. and the OPP
portunity to keep at top form not at
forded to few players by invitation
tournaments. All of the manufacture
ing influences should be eliminated
from the sport in this country so eff
fectually as to raise no controversy
in the selection of the international
team nor as to the status of holders of
championship titles on the American
courts in years to come.

The work of the locals was even bet
ter than had been expected by the root
ers and IL the good work is kept up
for another week, Fargo will have a
hard proposition to line up against
for the championship. The effects of
good, up-to-date coaching were very
apparent to the rooters and Coach Sku-
Jason is receiving hearty commenda-
ton for his efficient handling of the
boys. A good coach teaches resource
fulness and this quality alone was re-
sponsible for many of the gains made
by the locals. The center trio, Cooper,
Bulge and McGraw, were the steadiest
center men that ever participated for
the local high school since the incep-
ton of the game. Thompson and
Leedham for the visitors stood head
and shoulders above their teammates.

DOINGS OF BALL CRANKS.

Baseball produces more cranks and
makes otherwise sane men do more
idiotic things than any other thing in
the world-except love. One of the
funniest exhibitions of baseball feel
ing ever given came the Sunday night
after Comiskey's White Stockings had
cinched their claim to the champion
ship Of the world.
The scene was in Fred Pfeffer's cafe
and the first actor was a little man,
we'll dressed, with half tide on. He
was gloomy, detected, disappointed,
heart broken over the defeat of the
Cubs. The full force of the thing was
sinking in upon him. He was trying
to figure out how team which on
paper. ranks fifth in the American
league could wallop team which out
classed all the other teams in the Ma
tional league. He stood shaking his
head. muttering to himself, and
mourning. Pfeffer came along and
said:

like dog.
WWell, remarked Fred, why don't
you act like dog. then?
Ill do that, said the little man. He
backed out of the door and an instant
later. came crawling under the swing
ing doors on hands and knees.
Now bark, said Pfeffer.
Bow WOW WOW! barked the little
man dismally.
Play dead, said Pfeffer.
The little man rolled over, closed
his eyes. and lay limp.
All right, said Prefer, laughing.
You've proved it.
About five minutes later in came
big. handsomely dressed man, trying
to drown his grief over the disappoint-
ment. Every moment he broke out
into profanity, cursing Chance, abus-
ing Brown, swearing at Reulbach
Cut that out, ordered the little man.
You don't feel any worse about 1t
than l do, but won't stand for your
abusing them.
What's fellow going to do to show
how bad he feels? asked the big fell
low, piteously
Well, felt like Cog, and they told
ME to act like dog, and did.
You did? asked the big man SER
iously. l feel that way myself.
Then get down and play dog.

EWING At THE TOP.

William Ewing is dead. That doesn't
mean much to the baseball public of
the present time. for Buck" Ewing
has not played game for the past ten
years. Buck" Ewing was a baseball
classic. For a dozen years after 1881
Ewing played ball in New York, and
with the late Michael Kelly was a
prime favorite all over the baseball
circuit. No man ever surpassed Ew-
ing in all-round ability on the ball
field.
Were it possible to have on the
market today a ball player in his
prime with the ability shown by Ew-
ing all other, catchers now in the
business would soon pass up as Sec
ond choice. The Criges. Killings, Sui
livans. and Bresnahans are poor Sec
onds to the great Ewing. In throwing
he was the superior of any of these
grand catchers. He could outhit any
of the catchers of the present day. In
fact. he was more effective bats
man than Arson, Brouthers, Conner or
any of the heavy hitters of his time,
for he was a place hitter of the first
water. AS base runner he was equal
to the trickiest of his day; he could
slide feet or head first, as we'll as
swing outside the uase.. and knew
when to go and his chances to frac-
ton. He always worked with signals
and his basemen were ever on the
alert, for Ewing could snap ball to
first and third without changing his
position after receiving the ball. 1t
may sound like a pipe to the rising
generation, but there is nothing to It.
Buck Ewing stood out conspicuously
as the greatest catcher that ever wore
spiked shoes. In fact. he could play
any position with great skill. and new
er lost his temper under the most try
ing circumstances.-T. H. Murnane.

THE 6. F. HIGHS WON
FROM PARK
First Football Game of the
Year in Grand Forks
Saturday.
FINAL SCORE WAS 20 TO o
Park Riverites Didn't Have a
Look in at Any Stage of
the Game.

With slight wind blowing from the
east and under a cool, clear sky. with
one of the largest crowds that ever
turned out to a football game in the
city. the Grand Forks and Park River
high school football teams clashed for
the first OF the series of championship
games of the year. The score, 20 to 0
in favor Of the locals, gives them the
right to play the Fargo high for the
state championship and the contest
will likely take place in this city next
Saturday afternoon.
The field was in good shape, even
though little damp, and when the
whistle blew for the first kickoff every
body expected a fierce struggle. The
visitors presented one of the biggest
bunch of men that ever wore high
school uniforms in the state and 1t was
conceded even by their own manage,
that five pounds to man was fai,
estimate Of their excess In weight over
the Forks. The Riverites were a gen.
tlemanly bunch, possessed grit and
speed, but lacked that most essential
quality. football knowledge.
Grand Forks kicked OF to Park Riv
