NO MANAGER FOR KETcHEl.

Stanley Ketchel is stil without a
manager. He met Robert Shoeman at
Grand Rapids this week and discuss
ed terms upon which he might engage
a manager, but that was as far as 1t
went Last night Shoeman left for
Detroit, leaving behind him two con-
tracts which he wants Ketch to sign
binding himself to look after the in
terests of the fighter.
However, there isn't n chance that
"Ketch" will do more than look them
over and send them on to Detroit un-
signed. 81 don't want manager
yet" he said last night. That ended
1t with him.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
sTAGNANT MARKET.
Merely an Appearance of Strength at
Times-TriviaI Price CHANCES.

New York, Oct. THE speculation
lapsed into apathy today and prices
vibrated within narrow range. There
was an appearance of strength at
times, but the effort to advance the
prominent speculative stocks met with
the same kind of obstacle in the form
of free selling as earlier in the week.
This had like dfscouraging effect on
those efforts Some of the specialties
held up, but without much beneficial
effect on the general tone: Outside
the specialties, the price changes at
the end of the day were trivial.
The strength of the copper industri-
a Is was based evidently on advance
knowledge of the character of the
monthly report of the Copper Produc-
published the advance in the couppers
also came to halt and the whole
market fell into stagnatfon. A reduc
ton of 20,000,000 pounds in the stocks
of copper on hand made an imposing
showing on it's face. but some disap-
pointment was felt over the manner in
which that result had been achieved,
shown by the details of the report.
Deliveries into domestic consumption,
in fact, showed moderate falling Off
from the August total, the increase in
total deliveries being wholly due to an
expansion of upwards of 13 000, 900
pounds in the months exports. The
maintenance Of such rate of demand
from foreigners is not sufficiently as
sured TO be confidently counted on. The
$4,000 pounds reduction in the out
put for September from the high Aug
ust total allowing for the one day less
in September, indicated no such rate of
curtailment of output as had been hop
ed for as result of the efforts to
bring about agreement amongst the
principal producers. The effect of the
report was to arouse doubts of the eff
ficacy of the supposed arrangement to
cut down the production.
The prominence given to the copper
report directed fresh attention to the
United States Steel report of untitled
tonnage on October 1, which is to be
published next week Weakness of
some of the minor steel companies and
of the railroad equipment stocks gave
an unfavorabl impression of steel
trade conditions. Preliminary esti-
mates of the weeks currency move
ment indicated an outflow of nearly
s4000,000 cash from New York

uation in Portugal lost it's power of de-
preston on foreign markets.

value, $1,969 900. United States bonds
were unchanged on call.

ABSOLUTE CONTROL
MAKES A PITCHER
That and Mixing Them Up Will Put
Twrler in Record Class.

Not every man can be Mathewson.
FORD, Overall, or Johnson. no matter
now great his aspirations, simply be-
cause he does not possess the qualities
which bring these great pitchers their
continued success. Each one of these
tWlrlers of whom / have made note
nave some particular ball to which
thelr success may be attributed saws
Jack Coombs. star twirler of the Ath-
letlcs. 1t is a treat for the man who
is interested to go to a game and
watch the headwork of the master slab
artists, how they spin the ball through
the ar With almost any curve they de-
sire. and-what is more to the point
with absolute control
Ford is the greatest youngster T
nave ever seen and the way he manip-
ulates the sphere is wonderful. indeed:
first one way and then the other with
almost perfect control of both shoots
or slides. That's his success
Johnson relies entirely upon his
great speed, while other artists resort
to a favorite ball to tighten their
work
Many times l have been asked for
an explanation of my success on the
mound. [ cannot conscientiously an
swer it, because I do not see wherein
L nave any better curves than in pre-
vious years, when l was not considered
SO successful. Neither can | see
wherein have any better control than
formerly. But the one fact that has
come to me is when, where and how
to use the different curves. I do not
mean to say that all balls are curves
as L can recall many games this year
IN which | did not use a dozen curve
balls Instead I was using high fast
one, which the opposing batters would
hit high in the air, making easy
chances for the men behind me.
A, reserve ball has been my chief
stock in trade throughout the year |
do not believe any great twirler al
ways puts as much force behind a
ball when the bases are unoccupied as
when men are on the sacks If he
does, the opposing batsmen are al
ways looking for one thing and gen
orally the ninth inning comes to
bad climax.
A drop ball has had lot to do
with my success. Time and again /
would have meant defeat for the Ath-
letics; it was then my reserve ball
the drop-came into use.
L contend that man to become a
great pitcher must first learn how to
secure absolute control of his ball.
This is one of the first aims to sue
cess. In fact, it is the greatest of all
accomplishments of q slabman. Even
though my entire strength was put
behind a ball it would be useless if I
was not positive where my sphere was
going. Many times [ have walked a
batsman when the layman thought I
was wild. But such was not always
the case. I knew the opposing mans
weakness and was endeaVoring to put
the ball in a certain place around his
anatomy. In this way l at times
worked myself into. a hole and when
/ tried to locate the plate again. |
found myself at sea for short time.

OFFICIAL AVERAGES SHOW

Detroiter Increases His Figures by

Interest in the automobile contest
between Cobb and Lajoie has grown so
intense that their work for the season
has been reviewed by the official sror-
ers of the league. The result of these
flgures, which include Thursdays
games, differs from the unofficial rec
ords as telegraphed at the end of each
game. The official figures gave Cobb,
including Thursdays games. a lead Of
eight points. The unofficial figures give
Lajoie a lead of little more than a
pont.
On Friday Cobb increased his advan-
tage over Lajoie by getting two hits
out of three times while the Cleveland
man had no chance to better his score
because the team did not play The

MATHEWsoN's METHOD.
big Six" Explains How He Feeds the
Ball to the Batters.

Fans who have wondered at the re-
markable pitching feats performed
by Christy Mathewson and have tried
to solve what they are pleased to term
apt to have their ideas shattered when
they learn that the great pitcher him
self bluntly explains it thus:
1.-The secret of pitching is nothing
more than plain, everyday, common
sense, assisted by a good arm
Mathewson seldom or ever talks
that much at one time, but his ex-
PLANTATION was brought out by dis
cussion of his recent feat in retiring
the Reds without a run in the last
inning of game when there weEc
three on bases and none out
There was but one thing to do
when they got two men on bases and
none out said Matty, and that was
to walk the next man and fill up the
bags. One run would have tied the
score and we had to play to keep
down that run, even at the risk of los
ing the game. With the bases full
we had more chances of retiring the
side. because the play would be made
at. the plate and the runner, being
forced, would not have to be touched"
But you changed your style of
pitching, Immediately" was sug
gested.
Certainly" replied the big pitcher
Our only salvation was to make the
next batter hit the ball into the dirt
instead of lifting it into the air. Know
ing that this had to be done, / fed
the succeeding batter some curve balls
"a big drop. 1t is very difficult to hit
drop curve up in the air. AS it is
curving downward the batter will
usually hit it on top and bounce it
to one of the infelders. That is ex
actly what happened, and we got two
men at the plate. The next batter
struck out
Sounds very simple, doesn't it?
You know said Mathewson,
there is a lot of difference in the
style of pitching when there are run
ners on base and when the bases are
empty. The surest way of winning a
ball game is to keep them from reach
ing first base. There is much more
danger of ground ball going through
for hit or a batter reaching first on
an error than when the ball is hit into
the air. But if there is a runner on
third. the ball must not be hit into
