monstration against the motorman OF
the Car. but he was rescued by the
police and locked up on charge of

LATEST RUMOR
In Baseball Circles a Big New
YOrk-DetrOit Deal.
Tigers Want Hal Chase and
MOriarity or COnroy.
WHAT THEY WILL GIVE
Offer Mullen, POssman, Cough
lin, Downs and Killifer.
Some Cash in AdditiOn-Chase
May Go to Boston.
WHAT THEY WILL GIVE

Detroit. Mich, Oct. 17-One Of the
biggest baseball trades of the year is
declared to be due as soon as the
worlds series is over. The Detroit base
ball club has opened negotiations with
Frank Farrell. of the New York Ameri-
cans, and George Stallings, his next
seasons manager, for the services of
Hal Chase and either George Moriarity
or Conroy.
The Detroit management has offered
to trade Pitcher George Mullin. First
Baseman Rossman, Utility Player
Downs. Third Baseman Coughlin, KILL
fer, and a cash bonus for Chase and
either Moriarity or Conroy. Moriarity
mas long desired to get away from New
York, and the Detroiters think if he
can De secured he will plug up a big
hole on third base. Hal Chase will also
NIL up big gap on the Detroit infield.
The Detroit management argues that
1t will be easy to get Chase, as he alb
solutely refuses to play with New York
and his position on the coast is not
paying him as much money as he can
get in the big leagues
If the Detroit team secures the New
York players, Detroit will have an in
field with Chase on first, Schaefer on
second, Bush shortstop and Moriarity

beat. The present Detroit inneld has
been the weakness of the club this sea-
son. Coughlin went bad early in the
year.
Rossman has had his usual good luck
with the stick, but his fielding has been
very bad, even in the worlds series he
has made several dumb plays. Mullin
has had one of his most successful
years, but he has long wanted to get
away from Detroit. Stallings has al
ways been a great admirer of him, and
no doubt would give a great deal to
land him for the New York Americans.
All the five Detroit players would
greatly aid Stallings. while on the other
hand the two New Workers would make
the Detroit Tigers one of the fastest
teams known in baseball.
Here's Another Rumor.
New York, Oct. 17.-At the heels of
the report that the New York Ameri-
cans would trade Hal Chase and Mo-
Rarity to Detroit for Mullin, Coughlin.
Killifer and Jones, comes word from
the home of Chase to the effect that
both he and Frank Arellanes will be
seen in Boston American uniforms
when the season of 1909 opens. If this
report is correct it would appear that
the rumor which Estated that Chase
would be found in the Red Sox person
mel next season, and which at the time
was only given the credit of rumor
in baseball circles, had the correct
dope. It is said that Chase has realized
that his future lies on this side of the
Rockies if he is to remain ball player
and that he will again join the ranks
of the American leaguers. 1t was re-
ported shortly after Chase quit that
John I. Taylor. president of the Boston
American league club, could purchase
Chase's release from Frank Farrell If
Hal would agree to re-enter big league
ball. At the time Chase was supposed
to have spurned the offer.

TRADE IS GOOD.
Somewhat Hampered by weather and
Approaching Election.

New York, Oct 17.-Bradstreet's
says:
Continued warm, unreasonable
weather and the approach of the ma
tional election tend to hamper d1Str1-
button of seasonable merchandise, the
purchase of any but immediate neces-
stiles, and the projection of new enter
prises. On balance industry is slightly
more active, some branches OF the IRON
trade having increased forces While
building is more brisk, but at the
same time drouth or low water IN
various navigable streams tend to az
feet such lines as coke water naVlga-
ton and paper mills. Railway ton
mage is heavier, and current gross
earnings show smaller decreases than
for any time in the past ten months.
Summed UP, caution still prevails
but confidence is very strong, ana
therefore natural conditions, together
with light stocks, should produce a
marked degree of expansion after the
turn of the new year. Until then de-
preston seems to be the policy the
hand-to-mouth buying movement is
deemed to be part of wisdom and new
enterprises are being held in allegiance,
either by the credit giving institutions
or by their projectors.
