NO HOPE OF CHEAP MEAT
Prices May Go Down but Only for
Brief Time Packers say

Chicago, Oct 19.-No hope of per
manently lower prices for meat was
held out by delegates to the annual
convention of the American Packers
association, the first session of which
was held yesterday.
Michael Ryan, president of the as
ISOLATION, said that prices might drop
slightly for a short time as there had
been some increase in the number of
cattle raised recently, but this boon
to American housewives would be
shortived.
UNLESS many, many more cattle
are raised said Mr. Ryan there
can be no hope of lower prices and
America may find itself an importer
of meat"

Early in the season Manager George
Stallings of the New York Americans
declared that he would depend mostly on
his youngsters to keep his team within
mailing distance Of the leaders. This ne
did for a month or so until several Of
the recruits made costly errors which
resulted in DEFEATS for the Yankees. Now
the clever manager Is depending on the
good work Of Kid Elberfeld and William
Keeler two men that helped put the team
within half a game of winning the PEN
nant IN 1904. and Hal Chase. the man
who helped the Yankees make gallant
fight the two seasons following. to keep
his club up in the race. Chase at first
is putting up that same sensational game
that has characterized his playing for
several seasons. He is also walloping
the ball 10 the far corners of the lot.
Elberfeld is playing a strong, heady
game at third and is mauling the ball at
a great rate. Keeler. who was playing
ball when several of his teammates were
in knee breeches, still can be depended
