HEAVY HITTERS
ON BOTH CLUBS
ANGELS AND vERNoNS STRONG
WITH STICK
SHOW UP WELL IN PRACTICE
WITH WHITE sox
Hogan Deserves Praise for Success in
Getting Together Such an Excel
lent Team Upon Such Short
Notice

Statistics of the batting and fielding
averages of the Angels. Vernons and
White Sox players in the last four
games played reveal some interesting
facts and serve to give the fans fair
idea as to what the players will be
able to do when lined up against the
other Coast league teams in the PEN
nant chase.
1t is particularly gratifying to know
that Happy Hogan has aggregated
bunch that promises so well, despite
that he had to work under a handi-
cap of extremely limited time in which
to get his players and after all the
league clubs of the country had
combed the field fairly well. Not
withstanding this handicap, Hogan
has team that will be right there
with all of them throughout the race,
and Vernon hardly will be a secona
division team.
All the Vernon players are showing
exceptionally strong in the field, con-
sidering that they have had little or
no opportunity for getting acquainted
and arranging their team work. AL

ear, Stovall, Mott and Copeland are

highly pleasing way and are hoverlng
around the 300 mark, which should
indicate that all these will finish the
Coast league season away up in the
clouds. hitting aggregation is more
desirable than anything else. and Ho-
gan has a fine bunch of binglers. His
pitching staff also looms up finely
and should be up to the general aver
age of the other Departments at least.
Coy and Shafer are the best of his
twir:ing staff.
The Angels also are doing some tall
work in the field and at bat in the
spring practice with the big leaguers.
All the old-timers on the team seem to
be just as good as ever, while Daley
has proved to be a veritable phenom
in the field and with the stick. He is
playing every bit as good as Cakes
and is a materially improved batter.
Howard at second is another new one
that will be a prime favorite with the
fans on account of his great work at
second and his steady hitting. In
fact the entire Angel team, individual
proved bunch and is stronger than
last season, except, possibly, in the
pitchers box. The loss of Gray will be
hard to make good, but the pitching
staff is strong enough to more than
hold it's own with any other club in
the league.
Following are the fielding and bat
ting averages of the Angels, Vernons
and White Sox for the last four games
played:

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-Considerable
strength developed in the wheat market
here today following a weak tone at
the start, the distant deliveries display
ing especial firmness. The September
option was neglected and showed little
tendency to follow the upturn in other
months.
The weak opening was due to a de-
cline of u pence to Ia pence at Liver
pool and to continued enormous re-
ceipts in the oNrthwest. A leading
elevator interest was a free seller
early In the day, but demand was ac-
tive and prices soon rallied nearly n
cent for the deferred months. Initial
quotations were MTA to II lower. with
December at 9sas to 9Shs. After touch
ing 9SA the price of December ad-
vanced to 1914.
December corn opened X to Il lower
at 59s to so and advanced to 60%.
oats showed little response to the up
turn in wheat and corn. The Deem
Der delivery opened unchanged at 39es
and sold up to 39%@%.
Prices of provisions at the opening
were 21a to 90 cents lower.

IN THE WORLD OF FINANCE
WALL STREET NOTES.

Uptown S~entiment-The opinion was
expressed in be~st-informed financial
quarters this morning that with other
influences and conditions in continued
favorable shape no impeachment to inn
%provement in the securities markets
would likely be occasioned by. the
money market. 1t was pointed out that
the long-eontinued nominal rates for
money have been solely a reflex of the
apost-panic situation. In International
banking circles 1t was expected that
further important announcements of
investment purchases of American
bonds abroad might be shortly expect
ed, and this movement will be CON
tinued.
One bit of dividend news which came
in for comment yesterday was that
relating to the restoration of the extra
Ia per cent. payment by the Westing-
house Air Brake Company. This was
the first time the extra disbursement
had been made by the air brake COM
pany for more than a year, and its
payment naturally directed attention
to the position of Westinghouse manu-
featuring shares. 1t Is understood that
the manufacturing company IL doing
a business as large as at any time in
it's history.
Jersey Central was raised nine points

is to be increased to a 10 per cent.
basis.
Reading was doomed" yesterday or
rumors that its dividend rate will be
raised to a basis as high as 5 per cent,
a year, or at least to 6 per cent. an
nually.
Atchlson directors will meet the frs

stock on a 6 per cent. basis.

CAN STOP BASEBALL ON

TRENTON. Sept. Is -Vice-Chancellor
Walker has handed down an opinion
granting a preliminary injunction
against the playing of Sunday baseball
at Inlet Park, Atlantic City, on the
ground hat 1t creates a public nuisance
in the vicinity of the park. The Vice
Chancellor said:
THE playing of baseball will be en-

the noise and d~isorderly conduct at
tendant upon the games amounts TO a
nuisance in the neighborhood, whereby
the peace and quiet of the Sabbath Is
disturbed and the rest which the com
plainants are entitled to enjoy on that
day is appreciably affected. Each case
must stand or fall upon the question of
nuisance or no nuisance, as the Court
of Chancery has no jurisdiction to In

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-The cotton
market opened firm at an advance of
6M1S points In response to better cables,
bullish foreign trade advances, buying
here by spot houses, and covering of
shorts. Realizing checked the advance,
and prices reacted 3 or 4 points from
the top during the middle of the morn
ing, but the undertone seemed to he
fairly steady, and the list held about
six points net higher. Trading was
fairly active, inc bulls seemed more
confident as a result of the continued
large spot demand in Liverpool.
The market turned irmer late in the
forenoon on active buying by Southern
bulls and continued support from spot
interests with prices showing a mel
advance of about 7G10 points at mid
Jaw.

BOSTON, Sept. 15.-Tacit indorse-
ment of the plan of the Monetary Com
mission to recommend to Congress the
adoption of a central bank of issue for
the United States was given by Presi-
dent Taft last night.
Speaking of the present financial sys-
tenn before nearly 1000 fellow guests
at the Chamber of Commerce dinner,
he urged that "all unite and mend our
roof before the storm and rain shall
show US again it's leaky and utterly
inadequate character"
In general the President laid in his
speech OF last night the foundation for
speeches he will make on his $4,000
miles of travel through the West and
South, which began today.
The President said, in part:
1T is certain that our banking and
monetary system is a patched-up affair
which satisfies nobody, and least of all
those who are clear-headed and have
knowledge of what a financial system
should be.
II do not need to argue with this
audience that a change in our mon
tary and banking system is necessary.
o are too good business men not to
know it.
We must all unite to mend our roof
before the storm and rain shall show
us again its leaky and utterly made
quate character.
I'VE. are, l believe. unless all signs
fail, on the eve of another great BUSH
ness expansion and era of prosperity.
Indeed. it is already here in many
branches of business. The hum of pros
perity and the ecstasy of great profits
are likely to dull our interest in these
reforms and lead us back again to tine
old abuse unless we insist upon legis-
1ation which shall clinch and enforce
these standards by positive law.
Nothing revolutionary. nothing dis
turbing to legitimate business is need
ed; but we must set the marks clear
in the statue by which the lines can
be drawn and the proper legitimate
paths be laid Gown upon which all

TWAS Marshall o. Roberts who,
recording to Spare Moments, origi-
mated the idea of giving his store
an air of prosperity by filing his
counters with the appearance of goods
when he could not afford the actual

In 1885 young Roberts had managed
to scrape together a few hundred dol
lars. the result of many years close
saving. though he was only q at the
time. He had decided to try his hand
at the hardware and SHIPPING supply
business.
The first thing was to find a suitable
building in a suitable location. But the
two requirements could not be found
c together, so he was fnaliy eoinIeiieu
to take a large building, in which his
small stock of goods seemed compieteiS

possible way to make them appear To
