New York, November 27.-Sherwood Magee, the Philadelphia outfielder. with an average of .331 stands out as the best hatsman of the National league during the past season in the official batting av- erages of the league for 1910, made public tonight. Crandall of New York and Goode of Boston outrank Magee in actual average, but they took part in fewer games each, so that the honors by gen. eral consent go to the Philadelphian, who played in 154 games.
 Campbell of Pittsburg follows Magee with an average of 1926 and Holman of Chicago is close behind with 1925. Snod- grass of New York with .321 and Wagner of Pittsburg, the leader last season, with .32O are others in the company of heavy hjtters. Bescher of Cincinnati leads with 70 stolen bases. Knabe of Philadelphia leads the sacrifice hitters with 37 hits of this character.

New York, November 27.--In select
 ing their all-American football team
 this year the experts have very tough
 job on their hands. Never has there
 been a season where the elevens of the
 east had so few individual stars. All of the "big six" teams success on the gridiron has been due to their machine work.
 There are three men, however, who stand out as almost certain to be se- lected by the critics and all are back field men. They are Pendleton of Princeton, Corbett of Harvard and Sprackling of Brown. There may be better men than these in the west but the writer can only make his selections from the eastern teams. having no line on the westerners.
 Corbett and Pendleton are two of the greatest halfbacks that ever played the game. Both are fast. strong men, and natural players. Pendleton did more to give Princeton a corking team this year
 than any other two men in the squad.
 His long runs, whether from scrim-
 mage or in carrying back punts, have
 made him famous all over the country
 He is without doubt the f1eetest man in
 the country. His only fault is to mess
 up kicked balls a bit before getting
 firm grip on them. He Is sure to overcome this in another season. No opposing player has ever caught up with him on clear field. In a broken field he Is a heady, clever runner and hard man to tackle, as he increases his speed as his opponent makes grab for him.
 While Corbett is not as fast as Pen
 dleton he is just as effective. The Har- yard halfback looks slow at times, but
 he speeds up, like Pendleton, when he hits the line or a tackler approaches him. He has been the most consistent ground gainer on the Crimson team.
 This was his third season and he there fore knows the game from top to bot tom. Under the old rules he was a good player, but he Is even better this
 year. He is quick to get Into the in-
 terference and just as heady at break ing ups interference. He has the knack

LEACH ELECTED
 CAPTAIN OF PREDS

Anniston, November 27-(Special.)-C U. Leach of Alexander City has been elected captain of the Predestinarians. the Alabama Presbyterian college foot ball team, for the next season to sue ceed Tap Klein, who headed the best team this season that the college has ever put forth.
 Leach has played at tackle with the Predestinarians ever since they began tleir career on the gridiron. He is steady hard player and hard as a knot, having never been put out of commission during the three years that he has been with the eleven. He has declared in fa- vor of going after bigger games next year ard Manager stephen has begun already the effort of trying for meets with Au- burn and Alabama.
 During the past season the Preds have played seven games, won four, tied one and lost two. In every instance except one they were outweighed, and in the two games lost the team was shot to pieces as a result of the conflicts with the heavier elevens. The games lost were to Marion, on flukes, and to Owenton at Birmingham.
 During the three years that they have been playing the Predestinarians have made a. record that is regarded as re- markable.
 The following men were awarded the .'P," the football letter. in old gold over the sweater of black, at the meeting of the squad Friday evening: Frank Allen, E. Allen, l.. Brown, o. Brown, Tap Klein, w. Stephen, Leach, D. Archi- bald, Freeman, Sankey, Anderson. Will son. Keener. Crosby, Underwood and Baker.

MANY STARS DEVELOPED
 FOR ALL-AMERICAN TEAM
BY W. s. FARNswoRTH

of straight-arming an opponent down to a science. While he is hard man to tackle, he is almighty hard to hold when tackled.
 It was Sprackling's great work st quarterback for Brown in the Yale game that assured him of his position on the all-American eleven. The real score of that game with Yale was Spracklng 21, Yale 0. He was the whole Brown team both on the defense and offense.
 He is wonderful little field general. handles punts perfectly and is one Of the best drop kickers in the east It was his three goals from the field that really defeated Yale.
 It Is going to be a difficult job to select the forward line for the all- American team. Good linesmen are not so plentiful this year. Fitzpatrick of Yale Is practically assured of his posi- ton from the great work he did in the Princeton game. Injuries kept him out of the early battles, but he ap- peared as fast as ever against the Ti- gers. It was his wonderful leap and catch of Howe's wild forward pass that scored the touchdown for Yale which defeated Princeton. Fitzpatrick is an exceedingly fast man getting down the | field on punts and Is a sure tackler. Lewis of Harvard must be given lot of consideration when the end men are to be picked. He Is a player of the Fitzpatrick type. wonderful man on the defense and nifty drop kicker -one of the surest for that matter, that Coach Percy Haughton developed.
 The tackles and guards are very evenly matched and lot of heavy thinking must be done before they are picked Mckay of Harvard repeated his good form of last year this season, and 1t will be hard to keep him off the eleven. Wilmington, who played the opposite tackle for the Crimson, has a fine look in.
 The guards were not of such high standard as in previous years. Fisher of Harvard, Wilson of Princeton and Weir of the Army size up as the best at the present writing.
 At center Captain Cozens of Penn sylvania and Arnold of the Army ap- pear to be the most likely candidates. Against Yale and Harvard Arnold played wonderful football He got down the field under punts as no other center did this year. Cozens has been bear cat for three years and is a dandy drop hIcker.

SPECULATION IN
 STOCKS IS DULL
Resulting in a Very Easy Money Market
IDS ARE IMPORTANT
Railroad Orders for Material Are Held Back By Unsolved Freight Rate Problem-RevivaI Expected
 at New Year

New York, November 27.-A subsistence of speculative activity marked the deal ings in last weeks stock market in spite of the decided relaxation in money rates and the growing assurance that money stringency would be avoided for the rest of the year. The dullness of the speculation was ascribed partly to the discountenancing of activity by the bank Ing authorities and partly to uncertain ty over the industrial and trade out look
 The present ease of the money mar ket is attributed in large part to the restraint which has been shown in the stock market speculation and is felt to be dependent on continuance of that re- straint. The marketing of the years crops Is relied on to provide resources for the liquidation of the expanded bank loans. The current easing of the money market is affected more by the refiux of cash from circulation Into bank reserves than by liquidation of previous bank loans. The rate of this reflux it. self is affected by a disposition on the part of the farmers to withhold grain from market with the decline in the price.
 In the financial district first importance is attached to the future of the bond market. Money market resources will be conserved, as far as possible, to help the Notation of coming bond issues, which cannot be long delayed. The en- 1istment of resources in speculation is discouraged on that account. Sales of small new issues of first-class bonds in dicate by the terms of the sales the diff culties which confront the corporations. The Chicago and Northwestern general Is were offered for sale at 99, and were well taken here and abroad, while the sale price of Kansas City Terminal As was 97 Bankers and brokers commits sions in both cases were added to the discount which it Is evident must be paid by railroads to borrow on high grade securities. The action of the New York city bonds on the prospect of an accompanying $50000,0OO issue seems to point to the necessity of Az per cent rate to insure subscriptions at par or better as required by law.
 This problem of capital requirements of the railroads is complicated by the unsolved question of freight rate ad- vances by the interstate commerce com mission. Meantime, railroad orders for material are held down and the hoped for revival in the steel trade is set for ward to the new year.

~The Servant in the House.

Harper's magazine said, during the first week that "The Servant in the House" was holding New York the atregoers in it's thrall: Occasionally the accused, and often culpable public, has a chance to show that it rather en- joys looking into it's own soul and is still able to appreciate an idea. To be able to entertain the public with ideas is no slight accomplishment, but to cause 1t to entertain ideas Is in the nature of a triumph. The Servant in the House. drama by Charles Ram Kennedy, has had it's effect upon New York. Happening upon Broadway, In a doubtful time, it took a first step upon the stage and was a play, found foot hold, took another step, and was a book; and at the present moment, stands quietly on the pedestal of New York success, living thing, elegant, sunny and mysterious, having some thing to say to the man on the street. Of sudden The Servant In the House has become the thing to see and to read" This sunny, mysterious" play of today, with its fascinating sugges- tions of Oriental occultism, will be seen here at the Jefferson. theatre next Friday and Saturday and Saturday matinee.

Views of Augustus Post

Mobile, November 27.-Augustus Post aeronaut and aviator. who Is here making flights in the Curtiss aero planes. was shown the New York dis patch regardingt the worlds balloon record controversy. He said:
 q do not dispute the computations and measurements made in the race from St. Louis to the point where the America II landed in Canada, but there may be some inaccuracy in the exact location. The Associated Press. re- garding the spot where the landing was made, recently carried report that the Royal Geographical society of England had announced that the dis tance which the America II had travelled was 119s miles, and there might be a difference of 20 or 25 miles unless scientific observations were made at the place of descent.
 T understand that hydrogen gas was used in the balloon with which the record was made by Count De La Vaulx. Hydrogen gas has an advant- age over coal gas, as it lifts more per cubic foot and it allows the use of more ballast, which permits the bal loon to stay in the air longer time.''
 MT. Post said that the English society might have more data about the exact location of the spot of landing in the dominion of Canada.

DISPUTE ABOUT
 BALLOON RECORD

New York, November 27.-That the worlds official balloon record is held by Count De La vaulx is the declara- tion of the Aero Club of France. It was recently announced that Allan R. Hawley, who with Augustus Post, won the international balloon cup, ex- pressed doubt whether the worlds record flight made by De La Vaulx, which the Americans failed to excel, was officially established according to the methods adopted in the interna- tional cup races. The Aero Club of France has sent this statement to America:
 "Comte De La vaulx's record was regularly controlled by officers form ing a part of the Comite Aseronautique in 1900, including Colonel Hirschauer, Colonel Renard, Commandant Renard and Captain Voyer.
 Tn their measurement of the dis tance of De La Vaulx's flight from Vim cennes to Korostychef. Russia these officers had the collaboration of the geographical department of the min istry of war, just as MT. Hawleys dis tance was controlled by the American war department.
 "The responsibility for the accuracy of the still unbeaten record Is of course taken by the jury, of which the names of some members are given above"
 The Frenchmans flight, made in De- tober, 1900, was 1193 miles. The flight of Hawley and Post in the America II was at first announced as more than 1900 miles, but the official measure ments reduced it to 1171 miles, slightly below the record. MT. Hawley, how ever, asserted that so far as he knew the counts trip had never been official ly announced
