Every sign in the eastern heav-
ems. the peculiar conformation of
the planets and the recent bounti-
full rainfall, indicate that there will
be a wild outbreak of the nomads

dtiring fair week.
The old grey bearded shieks will,
when questioned as to the rumors
that the tribe will make a pill
gfimage at fair time, turn their
faces to the east. bow their heads
devoutly and reply, IF it is the
will OF Allah" The wayfaring
Arab, toiling through the desert
sands, will make similar reply.
All that is necessary to further
enthuse the restless sons of the
desert is large class of the un-
regenerate who would eek true
peace and happiness in the shade
of the palm trees which spread
their branches by the sacred Fem
Fem wells. q
1t has been years since the peo-
pie of Spokane saw Dokie pa

will, If carried out, give the peo-
pie a pagent we'll worth seeing.
The parade will probably take
place early in the evening so as to
give the Dokies time to refresh
themselves before taking the unre-
generate across the burning sands,
a journey which requires several
hours.
While nothing has yet been def

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
MORE CONFIDENCE
On Part of SpecuIators-lmpres
 Buying in United States Steel.


 New York, Sept. 27.-There seemed to be an accession of confidence to- day on the part of speculative buyers and holders of stocks founded on the mere passing of the two days holiday interval. Some of the buying came from professional bears who had gone short over the holiday. There was some buying also attributed to specu- lative holders of long stocks who had sold out on Friday last from the fear of accidents over the closed interval. The most impressive buying, how ever. was that in United States Steel. which was of a breadth and volume that gave it the semblance of a mis- cellaneous demand from widespread sources. The intimations given by brokers as to the financial character of some of the customers who made up the principal element in the de- mand for this great industrial stock made strong impression on sentiment towards the whole market. The sym pathetic effect on the general list of the movement of United States Steel submerged every other consideration. The demand for steel was fostered by the enthusiastic reports of conditions In its trade. A veritable wave of buy ing was declared to be sweeping over the Iron market and running up the price of that basic commodity, in spite of the expansion in production to a rate without precedent. Railroad traf- fic managers reported & growing anx- iety on the part of the great railroad systems for the return of their freight cars sent out to other railroads. Bet ter reports came, also, from the con- per trade, where contracts are niak- ing for delivery several munths ahead. Prices of copper warrants advanced in London today. This confirmed the confident feeling over the iron indus trials and spread to other portions of the list. The railroad list got a lift from the excellent showing of earn 1ngs for August made by the Atchi- son system. The resumption of influ- ential buying in Reading and Union Pacific was notable factor in shap- ing the days market and in correct ing the town of depression caused last week by the evidence of efforts to sell those stocks on an available occa- sions. The conservative tone of warn ing from many important commission houses, which went out at the end of last week. and the unfavorable bank statement which appeared on Saturday while the stock exchange was in re- cess. were without influence in curb ing the revived strength of stocks The demand proved to be much congested. especially in United States Steel, and the days aggregate dealings showed shrinkage. Conditions were not greatly changed in the money market. A good effect was produced by an in- tfmation that the United States treas ury might find it unnecessary to enter the money market with an issue of treasury certificates, as was looked for at an early day. There was unex- plained weakness in the Fries and this although ignored at first was an in- fluence in the sharp reaction of the last hour, when profit taking sales were going on also. Bonds were ir- regular. Total sales. par value, $3,53S.- 900. United States bonds were un- changed on call.

 Baltimore Club.

Baltimore. Md. Sept 27.-It is thought likely that Manager Jack Dunn will leave the Orioles, and that nearly all of the members of this years team will be shunted off in any direction they. care to take. President Edward Hanlon, who in addition to his other interests in the team, owns the grounds, has noted with gloom the financial loss of the season
 The value of the land adjacent to the ball grounds has increased with leaps and bounds in the last few years and only this week deal was consum- mated for the tract just next to the grounds for the erection of the finest class of city dwellings. There are ru- more that Hanlon has opportunities to double his investment and sell the gorunds, and this is retarded as a possibility that will enter into any attempt to look into the future of base ball in Maltimore.

First Football Injury At Harvard
Broken Arm in Tackling Miss Chance to Gain On Detrot-Both Teams Lose-Pittsb sburq Splits with Ciants-Rochester Wins Eastern League Pennant

Cambridge. Mass, Sept 27.-The first injuries resulting from the football practice at Harvard occurred today, when Fl. P. Pirnie of Springfield, left end on the scrub team, broke his arm in hard tackle. He will not be able to play again this year. The scrub team fullback had punted the ball down the field to Quarterback O'Flah- erty and Pirnie made an unusually hard tackle of the latter, which result ed in his injury.
 Leslie of Chicago the regular left halfback, was also laid~out for a time after a rush today, and had to be re- placed by a substitute. It is expected he will be in the practice tomorrow.
 The practice scrimmages today were the hardest and toughest of the season to date.

FOOTBALL NOTES.

Harvard seems to have a new guar terback of the first class in O'Flaherty judging by his work in the first scrirn- mage of the season Thursday.
 over forty men have reported to Coach McCurdy of the Springfield Training school Both Yale and West Point are on the Training school schedule this fall.
 Harvard's present varsity team weighs about 1855 pounds. but the sv- craze is expected to be hoisted when such men as Dunlap, Minot and West get into action. Corbett, the speedy halfback. is light man at 17o.
 Probably no player in western foot bah had harder luck last season than Capt. Dave Allerdice of this years Michigan team. Allerdice played through the latter part of the year se- verely handicapped by injuries. Yost said that he was one of the pluckiest men he had ever known.

| tie more likely to Tumble than when
 you go after it with two hands. In Touch With the Shorfstop.

In Touch With the Shortstop.
 Have your plans we'll mapped out with the shotrstop. The only kind of balls where you and he are likely to conflict is on the slow bounders hit to your left. On hits of this kind 1t Is baseman to take the ball. for he Is in better position to get 1t just a bound or two quicKer than the shortstop. The shortstop has to come running in just little quicker. and Is in good po- sition for a quick throw. It is these just a little quicker plays that de- eide games. Watch that you do not leave third base uncovered when you come in for bunt with a man on first base. Properly this is not your duty. It Is really up to the shortstop to go over to the base when you are pulled out of your position to field bunt but do not stand on the point. Get back to the bag as fast as you can the minute you have thrown the ball. so that providing the shortstop has overlooked a bet or is busy elsewhere, you are on the job to cover the bag and prevent the man on first coming right on around to third. Any time a runner gets away with this play, mak- ing two bases on an infield out, 1t Is sign of very poor baseball on the part of the team in the field.
 
 Let the shortstop take high flies d. to the left fielder. These flies make a lot of trouble. They are very hard to gauge. The shortstop is in better position to get such balls than the third baseman. for the latter has to turn directly backward, while the short stop is going out and to the side and can see the ball all the time. Throw . ov.A t1 10 r.Io w.rlt aiming to cut off a runner there. Sup posing a man on third base and the ball Is hit to you. The play at the home plate will be close. Therefore you want to help the catcher all you can. Snap the ball underhanded and he will have trouble to see it, for 1t arrives about the same time as the runner. But put 1t overland, and he can catch the motion of the throw and follow the course of the ball better. Give close attention to the catching of foul flies. A gos d third bsseman can get these down to science. With q little speed and quick judgment of the to go. and how far he can move to get
 Shoot the Ball Hard.
 Watch the condition of the play at all times. Remember nothing does so much damage as to get the man who is nearest home, and keep this constantly in mind when the ball is hit to you. Any time you can get a grounder in time enough to get at sec ond runner who has been on first, you weaken that far not only the ene- my's chances to get run. but his nerve. Throw the ball hard. The boy who has any weakness In his throwing will not improve his arm by throwing carefully. It is this tossing that leads to the bad throw. Bring your arm back and shoot with full power all the time, no matter where the ball goes, and you will either in 2 short time get your throw right or convince yourself that you have no business trying to play third base.

When the Hitter Switches.

But it must be remembered that not every man who pretends to sacrifice really does so Many a hitter will switch suddenly and finding that he has the third baseman in close. will suddenly swing on the ball with full force in an effort to hit it over your head. In this play there is actual per- il, for hardly fraction of a second is permitted the third sacker to decide what to do. The third baseman who plays in too close exposes himself to the danger of injury, and to what Is worse, the peril of letting the ball get away is the detriment of his teams chances to win. If he plays too deep he will lose the hitter on bunts. To deal with this situation the best thing to do is to play back in the regular position and dash in when the ball is pitched.
 If you see the hitter taking the bat up short in preparation for bunting, come right in, so as to be in a posi- ton to recover the ball quickly and hustle it to first base. If instead he draws back for a swing. stop where you are in order to be able to make a play on a hard hit ball. Too much practice and thought cannot be put to this play, for the third baseman must find it one of the hardest he has to execute. Like the shortstop. the third baseman must be able To throw rom the position which he gets the ball. If playing very deel, especially on a ball which he recovers cioes to the line, 1t is all right to draw up and throw the ball overland, but on bunt the underhand snap throw Is preferable. because it will get the ball to second base a good deal quicker. Often when coming n on a bunt it is good tactics to pick up the ball one handed and whip it to first base. the only danger with the play being that you are a It,

Grant Tells How-Buntins Most Trou' bIesome-Says 1t is the "Just a Lit. tie Quicker" Plays that Decide tn, Games.

Bunting is responsible for most of the troubles of the third baseman, says Eddie Grant of the Phillies. imagine that in the old days before the present scientific gams was re- ducer to a system, the third sacller found his position a comparatively easy one to play, for in the natural course of events fewer balls are hit to him than to the shortstop and second baseman. Moreover, not so many run ners reach third base and fewer plays were pulled off there. But bunting has made it hard job. Now, in addition to be ready to handle the hard shots, and they come pretty fast to the third baseman. who is nearer the batter than anybody excepting the pitcher,the third baseman must be on His toes all the time to dash in and field the bunts. With man on first base the sacrifice play is almost inevitable. and the ball will either be turned toward third base or first.
