CATCHER GEORGE GIBSON.
PIttsburg's Iron Man" Proved a Bio
 Help to Young Pitchers.

l George Gibson, Pittsburg's stal catcher, who took part in 134 success slve games the past season. is one o1 the few Canadians engaged in base ball. He halls from London, Ont Gib-
 son. in addition to throwing to the
 bases in wonderful manner. has coached the pitchers in masterful
 fashion and it is freely stated that it
 IS due to his magnificent work in this
 regard that has made Adams so vaIua
 ble Clarke has a long string of young pitchers and fGibson has starred in the role of developer. He is a ikeable fellow. being popular with the players and IS man of sterling character in and out of baseball The Pittsburg team did not have slump during the past season and this fact Is largely due to the way Gibson assisted in han ding the team. Cub followers looked for slump on the part of the Pirates. Iney said no team could go along without a fall down of some kind, and they were greatly surprised when Plttsburg upset all calcuIa tions in this respect.
 In addition to being a field leader, dlDson IS a topliner in both batting and fielding. He is always a timely hitter, batting equally well facing right hand or left hand boxman, and is considered as dangerous by the Pitts burg teams opponents as almost any man in the aggregation. Gibson par ticipated in 150 of the Pirates 156 battles, and hit for an average of .2S7. Globy was high for the National league backstops in batting and in addition scored Az runs. Not only did Gibson have a good average, but many of his hits were good for more than a single base, 23 being doubles, nine triples and two home runs.

PERSISTENT UNCERTAINTY

New York, Oct. 26.-The specnla tlon in stocks showed clear evidence
 Ioday ot coming to a halting place
 IolloWlng the rather feVerish fluctua
 tons of the late markets. This was
 consequence of the persistent un-
 certainty over the money outlook in
 spite Of the relief afforded by yester-
 cays developments over the irnmedi-
 dte prospects. It was a growing i'm
 presslon in stock market circles that
 while the relief might be relied on to
 check the urgent pressure which the
 hquldatlon was beginning to show it
 would not be discreet to attemnt a renewal Of important operations for fhe advance. The relaxation fin tbe tension of the money market which came yesterday was believed to be due m tact, to 6 slowing up of speculative demands on the money market and to DC dependeHt on a continuance of A policy of moderation in that respect The approach of the United States Steel quarterly meeting also was cal culated 10 have some oppressive eff feet on the speculation, owing to the question which has arisen as to the re- sponse the market is likely to make to the most favorable influences which might emanate from that meeting. The special weakness of the Hill stocks had disturbing effect on sentiment as a possible evidence of influential liquidation of an investment sort. The show of strength at scattered points V as an insufficient offset. One such point was in the Hawley group. and which was the subject of rumors of coming conclusion said to involve a consolidated mortgage issue. Bonds were irregular Total sales, par vaIue.

-HARvARD's STRENGTH
 BEGINNING TO SHOW.
Promising Outlook After Game With
 Brown.

| Boston critics of the Harvard clever | see evidences of titanic struggle wher
 the Blue meets the Crimson at the
 Harvard stadium in the crucial game | of the year.
 Harvard now is coming into the llmehght with promise of team of exceptional power on the offense and
 defense. The Crimson has had mo
 such embarrassment of riches in the
 way or material as has been the case
 at New Haven; but the coaches have
 mad some good men to work upon.
 Substitutes are still lacking for line
 places and the second team is far
 rom being strong enough to give the
 varsity the severe trials that are necessary for the development of the team. Then injuries cropped out that set things back and seriously menaced the work of getting team play.
 For the first time this year Harvard on saturday was given a test that brought out some evidence of what the team will be a month hence when it nhes up against the Blue in the final game of the season. Harvard did to BroWn what Pennsylvania-with everv thing in her repertory could not do- that Is score two touchdowns by strong onense football. Penn's scores were made on blocked kicks. Harvard. fur thermore, gave an exhibition of grand defensive power, her line proving in vulnerable to the Brown attack when 1t became absolutely necessary to stop that attack with no gain.
 It must also be taken into considera- ton that Harvard was unable to play It's strongest combination against Brown Mckay was absent from left tackle, but Hooper certainly filled the place in great shape under the circlm- stances. In addition, Corbett and smith were absent from the halfback | positions.

 Johnson is slow in running back kicks
 and he furnbles at times badly. Mer- rltt, the former Andovera captain. muffs
 punts badly.
 Cooney, the heaviest, man on the squad, seems the likely choice for cen ter, alrhough Yale's style of playing the position makes the ideal player of the position some fifty pounds lighter. Hyde. who was giving Cooney a, close ruo Tor the place, is laid up with a bruised rib, and Francis, who was tried there. has gone to the backfield. Andrus Who played a week after re- turning from Alaska, before being shelved by another injury. will play left guard when he returns to the team. and Goebel again is at right guard. Yale men look on Andrus and Goebel as the strongest paE- of guards Tn the country. Their play this sea- son is much stronger than ever.
 Hobbs and Lilley are almost certain to be the permanent choices as tack les. They have kept these positions practically since the beginning of the season Lilley is rather light and not as sturdy on the defense as he might be His best performances are seen in his recovery on onside punts. Hobbs is the teams goal kicker. and running from tackle is a fast plunger.
 Hale's ends will be played in gilt edged style this season, judging from the present outlook Fitzpatrick will be at the left wing and Logan, who was acting captain till Ted Coy returned to the eleven, last week, is being close Iy pushed by Harry Vaughn. the for ner Exeter star, for right end. Those who saw Vauglins wonderful captures of forward passes at West Point think ne is likely to win out in the compe- .ition from the Eli veteran.

YALE COACHES LOOKING
 FOR QUARTER AN DcENTER.
Howe and cooney Seem to Have the
 Call.

Yales principal football problem is now said to be the development of the right quarterback and a firs+-class center. but Coach Jones says that the competition is sharp enough to leave several positions unsettled yet The situation is viewed by the New Haven Register as follows:
 The backfield is settled except quar- terback, and the line Is as good as de- clared with the exception of center Unfortunately these two unsettled po- sltlons are the ones from which the ball fs put in play and the fact that the positions are untitled by perma- nent choices Is responsible of the ire quent fumbles which have caused the coaches no end of trouble.
 In Captain Coy. Philbin and Fred Daly, Yale has the strongest backfield in years. Coy for all around work Philbin as a lightning dodging half pack. and Daily as line forcer and drop kicker form trio such as inc Blue has never boasted. Howe.
