uMpIRE's MILLENNIUM COMING.
Silk O'LouehIin Tells of the Gradual
 Changes He Has Seen.

According to Silk OLoughlin. the time is not far off when an umpires job won't be any more hazardous than playing with dynamite. Mir. O'Lough- lin has delivered himself of the opinion that within two or three years the life of the arbitrator will be all to the mer ry. He bases his forecast on noting the Improvements of the last few years When l broke into the game as an umpire" said Silk the other day. the life of an umpire was the concentrated essence of what General Sherman said was war. About the eighth Inning of every game the happy little umpire would begin figuring out which means of escape would be most likely to land him in shelter. And that first escape wasn't all. About every other game would be protested. and. like as not. the whole scene would have to be en- acted again. Not much like that now. have long since ceased to expect to be the party after the game. I don't say that the whole change for which the umpires hope has been brought about. Oh. no. There is still a lot of prejudice for the umpires to overcome. Not yet is their life all sunshine and roses, but the transition is well under way, and it is reasonable to suppose that in the not too distant future the position of an umpire will be regarded as one of honor and dignity"
 League Officials Behind the Unnp Now.
 The other umpires of major and minor leagues share the views of O'Loughlin. and they attribute the pleasant change in their. business to two causes: First, the strong backing given them by the league presidents; second. the wising up of the public to the fine points of the game so that the nal harnf1aa al ta ind hov selves in a dispute between player and official as to whether the latter was a robber etc. Before President Ban Johnson of the American league start ed the reform in the umpires' behalf it took a lot of nerve and moral cour- age to handle an indicator in any league. Players were in the habit of riding roughshod over umpires and the spineless league executives allowed them to get away with that sort of thing. The players ran things pretty much as they pleased. and the umpire was the goat all the time.
 Never Any Friends Among Fans.
 The fans always sided with the play CTS. right or wrong, and there was merry war all the while. The umpire was the common enemy of peace: sort of a necessary evil. but needed to be very rugged to last till the first pay day. Many of them didn't care to re- main after that. The umpire's stand ing about ten years ago. let's. say. has often been well illustrated by that story told on Joe Cantillon when hu was an umpire-and. by the way. one of the greatest that ever lived. Joe asked Comiskey for couple Of passes one day. saying he wanted them for some friends. Friends roared the "Old Romak," well, if sou or any

RUsE IS DUE FOR THE BUSH.
Eccentric TwirIer Going Back to the
 Minors.

Rube Waddell may not be in major league company after this sea son. The great pitcher seems to have gone to pieces and his record with St Louis this year has been the reverse of bril- liant.
 Time was when the eccentric south- paw was considered one of the best twirlers in the country. He had but one failing-weakening under fire. He was an admirable winner. Once let the team behind Rube acquire 8 lead at all commanding and he was almost invincible.
 Waddelrs favorite stunt was to fin- ish out game when another pitcher had weakened and had been removed. Rube would shoot them across in great style and it was seldom he failed to stop his opponents Many game was saved for Connie Mack by just this particular ability of Waddell. In 1902 the Rube was the chief factor in the success of the Athletics. but in 1905, when they again won the pennant, the Rube got cold feet and refused to work in the worlds series against the Gi- ants. claiming that he was injured.
 Waddell, though remaining in Phila- delphia two seasons longer, lost caste with Mack, and the astute Connie shifted him to St. Louis in 1908. Wad- dell acquired a new lease of life in the Mound City and his work helped to keep the Browns in the 1908 race up to the last week of the season. Innumerable stories are told of the Rube's antics on the ball field and off. Even Mack. the only manager who was ever able to get any sort of work out of Rube. WIS obliged on occasions to throw up his hands in despair for nothing would prevent Waddell from embarking on a three days fishing trip if the notion struck him.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
DULL AND SLUGGISH MARKET.
Operators Preferred to See the Big
 Military Parade.

New York, Sept. 30.-Dealings in stocks underwent a decided shrinkage today from the large volume of yester- day. The desire to see the military parade in connection with the Hudson Fulton celebration had the effect of emptying many of the downtown of fees and left the stock market in stagnant condition in the afternoon. The market was dull and sluggish at best and the professional element found difficulty in moving prices suffi- cfently to offer a profitable medium for trading operations. The slackened ac- tivity of the trading was partly due to caution on account of the October first money settlements. The amount called for by the October interest and divi- dend disbursements is estimated at s162, 100000 and there was some appre- hension that funds accumulated to meet this requirement might have been placed in call loans until needed and that recall of those loans then might dislodge stocks held on collateral. The money market gave some slight evil dence of strain from such a cause to- day, the call loan rate rising to four per cent, the highest touched in New York since early in 1908. London sold stocks in this market and the demand for remittance thus caused stiffened the foreign exchange rate. The Lon don selling helped to turn prices down. wards here after an effort to lift them during the first hour. The pressure on United States Steel was conspicu- ous, in spite of the evidence that the month just closed showed an output of steel and iron in excess of all prece- dents and demand is reported to be still in full force. Besides influential selling of United States Steel, there was some pressure on Reading which proved weight on the general market The moderate and indeed, normal in- crease in the net earnings of the com pany for August called attention to the dull condition still existing in the an thracite trade. The August earnings of the Union and Southern Pacific were equally significant of the growth of traffic in that part of the country, the net earnings for Union Pacific showing gain of s711,551. equal to 20 per cent, and the Southern Pacific s1.087,- 096, equal to 31 per cent, over August of last year. Joined with the Atchison statement, already published, the ex- hibit makes striking demonstration of the great prosperity to which the business of the great Pacific carriers has risen. Union Pacific and Southern Pacific benefited from this showing, but the movement was not common to the group. The conflicting influences in the market brought prices back, after many fluctuations, to not far from the previous closing. Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value, S5,336, 900. United States bonds were unchanged on call

NO WORLD SERIES TRIP
 FOR NORWICH FANS.
Local Baseball Followers Have Been Pulling for AthIetics-Hoped to Go to PhiIadeIphia.

Now. that the American league race is all decided, with Detroit talk ing the flag. lot of the Norwich fans have dropped all the hopes they had of seeing some of the games of the world series in case Philadelphia succeeded in beating out the Tigers. Of course, with Dll Murphy playing right field for Mack's men. the Norwich sentiment has been all with the Athletics against the westerners. and the fans have been pulling as hard as possible for the Philadelphia team to win. Especially after the great gait struck by the Athletics in the closing weeks. they have clung to their favorite to the last and have had lively hopes of attending the games in Philadelphia. If Connie 8 tribe had succeeded in winning there would without roubt have been a con- siderable Norwich delegation on hand to cheer them on against the Pirates.
 While they have given up all hopes of attending a world series. the Nor wich fans are getting satisfaction out of the great stand made by the Athlet- ics in the last series against the Tig- CTS and also in the seasons record, in which the Philadelphia nine achieved the handsome margin of winning IA out of 22 games from Detroit. On this showing they are arguing that the best team in the league has really not won the pennant, and if you want to start a pretty scrap with any ardent sup porter of the Athletics, just suggest that the Detroit team is individually and collectively their superior in all departments of the game.

Chapman of New York, which was finally won by the former. after three strenuous sets, featured todays play in the an- nual woman's lawn tennis tournament of the Longwood Cricket club.

 When Manager Jennings men learn ed that Philadelphia had fallen down twice their spirits rose, and many congratulations poured upon the Mich igan man.
 Game Was Hard Fought. Today's game was hard fought, both teams using two pitchers. Mullin was batted hard in the first inning, and in part of the second. Willett all so was hammered hard. Detroit drove Wood from the box, but Hall held the visitors scoreless. Three runs tall lied in each of the first two innings bv the home team made it look as though Boston was going to win cas- fly. Detroit was not long in getting started and by fast work on the bases and timely hitting was soon leading by one run. Boston won in the eighth inning with two out. With men on second and third French singled, SCOT ing two runs. Another hit followed, giving Boston a total of g. Detroit got one man to first in the ninth, but he was left on second base. Tomor- rows game will begin at two o'clock to enable the visitors to get an early train for Chicago.
 Detroit Once Down to Third Place.
 As in two previous years, the cham pions this season had to make the hardest kind of a fight to win and down to the last week the result Of the race was in doubt. Detroit start- ed off well and remained at the top of the standing for many weeks main ly through the remarkable work of it's pitchers. A setback came toward the middle of the season. however, and at one time the champions dropped as low as third place. They did not stay there long, bracing up considerably and passing Philadelphia and Boston, who were in first and second places respectively. A long series at home again gave the pennant winners a good lead before they made their sec ond eastern trip. But on that trip they fell down badly and when they went west for their last home series were about on even terms with Phila- delphia and Boston.
 Late Deals for Players Were Good.
 Two deals for players by which De- troit greatly strengthened its infield again put a winning combination in the club, and gave the champions a comfortable lead before they started for their last invasion of the east.
 They opened in Philadelphia and lost three out of four games there cutting their lead down to two games. After getting away from the large crowds in Philadelphia, Detroit again struck it's stride and though a few more games were lost Philadelphia was losing at the same time and therefore did not threaten to go ahead of the champions.

Detroit Pitcher, O. K.

All of Jennings pitchers are In nns trim, and he is counting on them doing demon execution against the Pirates in the worlds series. Bill Donovan always used to be a puzzle to the Pittsburgs when he was in the Ma tional league" says Jennings. "and he'll mystify them fin the worlds se- ries. The COrsairs also will find Ed gar Willetts difficult to hit. When that boys underhand delivery Is working right it is just as troublesome to bat ters as Joe McGinnity's old Sal Summers and Mullin also will prove bafflers to the Buccaneers"

Throwing For the Forward Pass.

Walter Eckersall remarks: ITO neeo- tiate a successful forward pass a play CT must be able to throw the ball from almost any position and at any angle. He will find that the same conditions dc not prevail every time he makes the attempt. for the defensive team, If it has any knowledge of defensive play. will shift its defense in such a way that the player who throws the pig skin will be hampered more every time. also the player who is to receive the pass. It is for these reasons that the thrower must be proficient in forward rassing from almost every conceivable position. It sometimes may happen that he will have to make the pass when he is tackled. which is a mighty hard thing to do successfully without the experience one receives in a real game"
