George Washington Changes Lineup.
In the second half the George Wash
ington lineup was changed Al the
hope Of turning apparent defeat into
victory. Fred Rice went to center and
Prospect took the place at forward.
The playing in this half was practi-
cally a repetition OF the first. the
Georgetown men holding their lead
only after the hardest kind OF work.
The passing Of Pallen and Schumm
improved in this period or play. The
struggle between Fred Rice and
Downey. both of whom are well known
for their sensational work in local
basketball circles. was sensational.
Neither man could gam an advantage
over the other.
The closing minutes of play were
marked by the usual George Wash
ington squirt, and for = while il looked
as if the one-time winners were to be
returned a second victor. Pallen's
throw from the side OF the hall settled
things though in FAVOR OF George
town. for time put an end 70 the con-
test shortly after Eichelberger threw
his last field goal.
Deciding Game Next Wednesday.
The work Of Captain Downey and
Schumm for Georgetown and Fred
Rice and Eichelberger for the Ratchet
ties were the features The final and
deciding game will most likely be
played during the week at Carroll In
stitutc or the Washington Light In

! Business
Is Normal.

New York, Oct. 30.--The financial sit
ua;ion today was so nearly normal that
there We're few new features OF import
ance. Bankers said that the calls for
money from the neighborhOol OF New
York and the entire east appeared to be
practically satisfied and such calls for
currency of AN urgent character as
We're being received came from points
west of the Mississippi. These calls are
being met fast as conditions permit.
Mr.. Williams, the new state superin-
tendent of banking gathered up most
of the cash in the suspended banks to-
day and deposited it with going in
situations, thereby adding several mil
lions of dollars to the funds available
in the market. The debit balances
against banks at the Clearing House
were smaller than usual, under norma
conditions. all such balances aSgregat-
ing only little more than $4,000, 900 on
clearings Of $226,00O,0OO One Of the
points at which the most serious pres
sure for money is expected is 1T New
Orleans in order to finance the move
mcnt Of the cotton crop. A committee
Of New orleans bankers is in Wash
ington and hopes to secure promise
from Secretary CortelyOu for the de-
post Of substantial sums of public
money in New Orleans and other south
Crn institutions.
One of the most interesting develop
ments of the situation is the large
amount of the purchases of securities
in small lots for investment It is es-
timated that there are 100000 more
o.. ct a.
the railway and iduStrial corporations
than was the case year ago.
While il requires a good many sales
in small lots to reduce the mass of
undigestcd securities on the stock mar
ket the effect of every such withdrawal
from the quantity of speculative stocks
is beneficial to market. This is regard
ed as a Scod angry by the bond dealers
whose market has been very fiat for
many months but who believe that they
viii be able to dispose Of many good
securities as soon as the present furry
has subsidized.
The cable from Europe were not dis
quoting to those familiar with the sit
Uation there. 1t is generally expected
that the rate OF the Bank of England
will be advanced tomorrow, but this
will be too late to effect engagement OF

The disposition in the Paris to aid the
London market by loans on Sterling
bills is regarded as an indication that
the French bank is well fortified and is
willing to pursue under Governor Pal

usually characterized it's action in en-
