crop reports were received during the
day and probably helped the upwar1

claimed that replanting would be
necessary for the third time and that
seed was scarce, but recent sellers take
the view that the reports are greatly
exaggerated. Southern spot markets

New York, May 2l.-The acute weak
ness which developed in the stock mar
ket today came rather as a surprise
to ne financial community, notwith-
ST, ding the premOnitOry symptoms
OF yielding in yesterdays dealings.
The source of the extensive selling OF
stOcA- ~r'"S mysterious and the motive
which apClled the sudden out
pouring l:tel such a period of quieSc
ence in lle market as that of last
week were Lot clear, as no immediate
development in conditions was known
which wou, have changed the situa-
tioF so. cor :ily. Surmise inclined to
the. .nterpIel& ion that an aggressive
beaI party had been organized TO at
tack the market The leaders Of the
bull speculation in wheat undoubtedly
play a large part in the bear move
ment in stocEe. There is additional in
centive for the bear movement in
stocks from renewal of anxiety over
the conditions of capital supply
Such scanty Developments today IS
offered any explanation of the weak
ness of the market had to do mostly
with rumors &: still further bond and
note issues to be expected Some Of
these were denied, but without re-
lieving the depression of the stocks
concerned, The heavy liquidation in
United States Steel was accompanied
by such rumor which was repeatedly
denied, without relieving the stock

MAY DROP FOOTBALL
Poor Showing of Purdue
Disgusts Supporters,
It Is Said.

Lafayette, Ind, Nov. 11-Football as
part of athletics at Purdue will prob
ably be a thing of the past after this
year Following the action by North
western a few years ago. Purdue may
in future devote its time to other
branches of sport. Lovers of football
in Lafayette have seen Purdue, one
time champions of the western grid
iron, gradually grow weaker until now
1t cannot cope successfully with even
the secondary colleges of the state.
Little Wabash. which formerly was
only a warm-up for the Boilermakers
has beaten Purdue two years. Turner
is recognized as a good coach, but has
been given little encouragement by
the faculty and the student body be-
lieve it is better for the college to
have no team than one that never wins
Purdue has not won a game in two
years. The overwhelming defeats at
the hands of Illinois and Chicago have
seemingly sounded the death knell OF
football here. The local press and
business men, who have supported the
game, have become tired of backing a
chronic losing team.
While the faculty viii not admit that
football is to be cut out. it is wise
10 the fact that the game as Purdue
has played it will not be supported any
longer by the student body or the
lovers of football in Lafayette.

BASEBALL COMMISSION
FINES GIANTS $1,000
Punishment Came For Vic
lation of Contract at
New Orleans.
SEBRING APPEAL IS DENIED
Player on Cub Reserve List Still
Under Ban-Hinchman to
Pittsburg.

cincinnati, O., Nov. 1.-THE National
baseball commission today passed upon
several important cases, while a num-
Der Of others equally as important were
either laid over or taken under ad-
visement
The New Orleans club was given a
judgment Of $1,000 against the New
York National league club for the lat
ter's violation of its contract to play
out certain number OF games in New
Orleans last spring.
The New York team played two
games there with the Philadelphia
Americans. but dispute arose and it
refused to play the remaining games.
and the New Orleans club claimed it
had been damaged.
The application Of Player James 3.
Sebring for reinstatement was decided
adversely to Sebring.
Sebring was sold by the Cincinnati
National league club to the Chicago Ma
tional league club, but refused to join
that club and jumped to the Tri-State,
which at that time was classed as an
outlaw
The commission awarded Player
Harry Hinchman of the Cleveland club
to Pittsburg upon the payment of $1,000
by the latter club to Cleveland. Hinch-
man went to Toledo without the ex-
ercise of the waving system and the
Pittsburg club protested with the above
result.
Player J. W. Forester of the Little
Rock club of the Southern league was
awarded S65 due him from the Detroit
American league club for services rend-
cred.
A rehearing asked for by the Will
mington (Tri-State league) club was
refused. 1t was in the case of Ed c.
Mclean, who obtained a judgment
against the Wilmington club in the sum
of $217.
The much expected decision in the
case of William Campbell did not ma
terialize. The commission discussed
the case and took it under advisement.
A decision in favor Of Campbell in
this case would have been a direct
blow at the national association, in
asmuch as the latter association, at it's
recent meeting in New York, placed
CampbelPs name on the perpetual
black list. 1t was stated tonight
Campbell had an excellent case. Presi-
dent Joseph O'Brien of the American
association presented the claims of the
Louisville club in the Campbell case.
President Johnson of the American
league will leave for Chicago tomorrow
morning, while President Pulliam OF
the National league will go on a fishing
and hunting trip in Indian Territory
before going back east again. Both
would have gone tonight had not the
commission gone into special session
at which a complete revision of the
rules of the commission was made.

INDIVIDUAL DISHES.

Every housewife should have set
of individual baking dishes OF some
sort. There are countless pretty dishes
which may be purchased al little ex
pense. These dishes are of porcelain
which stands the heat test and does
not blacken when frequently used for
baking dishes. There is quite an ad-
vantage in one purchasing set OF
these handy cooking utensils. since
some very savory dishes from left ov-
ers may be made and served IN them
OF course. the foods are mostly from
chopped meats, vegetables. spaghetti
and often rich condiments. 4 good
breakfast dish is made with chopped
meat mixed with cream and butter
cracker crumbs and one egg broken
on top Of the hash and allowed to
slowly bake in the natural shape. For
evening dinner scalloped oysters in in
dividual dishes may be served in count
less ways

NECKwEAR FOR WINTER.

The white coat sets will not have
very much favor for wear with the
tailored suit. They are too cold look
ing except for the early weeks of win
ter.
Silk scarfs are unusually smart, and
there are a number of new ideas in
printed silk scarfs both in coloring
and designs, which are bound to APP
peal to all women who love artistic
effective touches.
Some Of the latest designs are in the
border effects, printed upon chiffon OF
wolfe grounds
Feather boas will come in for fair
share of consideration. The marabout
boa will be used both for the street
and evening purposes. The fiat stole
or shawl-like effects, will receive the
most consideration for dress purposes.

OLD PHOTOGRAPHS.

Most homes have many old photo
graphs too precious to be thrown away,
yet of little interest to those outside the
immediate family. To save space they
are often packed away in boxes; so,
ofen when we would gladly spend a
little time looking over the familiar
scenes and faces, 1t seems too much
trouble to get them out. Here is sim
pie solution out of the problem.
Put the photographs in clean, hot
water; in a short time the pictures can
be easily removed from the cards.
When. dry, either trim down or cut
away the background entirely. This
last, of course, requires great care
Mount them in a scrap book; or better
still. book made especially for kodak
pictures.

CLEANING GLOVES.

Here is the best yet for cleaning
gloves It Is much better than the
smelly gasoline method, that takes all
the shine of. A. cake of pure white
soap. little milk, and some clean,
soft rags. After placing the glove on
the hand. dip a piece of rag into the
milk and rub it on the soap Scrub the
gloves thoroughly, changing the rags
as they become soiled. using as little
milk as possible, so as not to wet the
