FOUR MACK MEN
 HAVE BEEN LUCKY
Donahue, Morgan, Livingston and
 Lord All May Be Thankful.

There are several athletes on the pennant winning Athletic team of the American league who can thank Dame Fortune for the part she has played in allowing them chance to share in the receipts of the worlds cham plons. Take Paddy Livingston, for instance. Three years ago Paddy was a member of the Indianapolis team. in 1908 by his great catching he heip- ed greatly in the winning of the pen nant by Indianapolis in the Ameri- can association. When 1t came time to report in the spring, PaddySwas of- Iered a contract some $500 less than ne received the year previous. He re- Iused I to sign and failed to report. Shortly after the opening of the Am erlcan league season Doc Powers died and Connie Mack was shy catchers Some one told him that Livingston was at home and idle. Connie opened negotiations with Indianapolis. He more money than he ever received be- fore Paddy's great work in 1909 got him an increase that made his salary almost twice the amount he received at Indianapolis. Now he falls heir 10 something like s2.o00 when the Athletics trimmed the Cubs.
 Then there Is Cy Morgan. Cy was a good pitcher when @ member of the St. Louis team, but the fans didn't think so. Every time he took his turn on tho rubber he was unmercifully roasted and as result he did miser- able work. St. Louis sold him to Bos- ton. The story goes that Morgan lost a game to Detroit one day as mem Der of the Boston team because of his failure to touch Cobb at the plate. Owner John I. Taylor of the Boston team, who also does little manag- ing, accused Morgan of shirking. Cy resented the accusation in strong lan- guage. The result of the episode was the trading of Morgan to Philadelphia for Schlitzer. That the Athletics got all the better of the trade is proved by the fact that Schlitzer soon passed out of the major league ranks. It was indeed a lucky thing for Morgan that the St. Louis fans d1sliked him and Owner Taylor butted in on the mana cement.
 Another lucky individual is Pat Donahue. Pat was originally a mem couldn't get along with the Boston management, and was sold to Phila- delphia when Mack's catching depart ment was crippled by the absence of Thomas and Livingston. When Cleve- land was shy on catchert, Donahue throwing arm was so bad that he was sent back again. Now, Pat is far from being high class catcher, but Connie retained him because he had delivered in @ pinch. It was worth 8 couple of thousand to Patrick Bris Lord Is another individual who, has much to be thankful for. Tn the mid de of the season Bris was traded to the Maps to the Athletics. It pleased Bris principally because it permitted him to be at home every evening, as he resides at Chester, just outside of Philadelphia. He had no tdea it would mean SO much to him then as It did at the close of the big series. Paddy Livingston, Cy Morgan. Pat Donahue and Bris Lord have much to be thank full for on turkey day.

MIGRATE IN SHAPE
 TO MEET ZBYSZKO.
Handicap Match With Partner Will Make the Big Polander Travel Fast.

Jack McGrath, the well known and local favorite heavyweight wrestler, arrives hera this afternoon from Wor- cester to be on hand for his Saturday night match, when he is to be one of the two big fellows that Zbyszko the European champion. will try to throw in an hour. The Irish Giant is ex- pected to be pretty tough nut for the Polish wrestler to crack and the other fellow who will attempt to hold off the big foreigner will be no easier. He Is Butch Miller of German extraction, and undefeated since he came to this country, where ha has been wrestling all corners at the Brooklyn A. C. Butch weighs in at 225 and Jack at PIP giv- ing the big Polander about 437 pounds of active and muscular humanity that he is to attempt to down in an hour.
 It is probable that some of the Polish societies will arrange a reception for their champion before he leaves the city. Followers Of the game are taking the tickets in good shape and there is a large demand from out of town Zbyszko is soon to post with q Buffalo paper q s1.000 forfeit for match with Frank Gotch, champion of the world, for S10,000
 Local sports were drawing a line on the Irish Giants place in the wrestling on Wednesday that made him look pretty good when compared with the result Of handicap bout in Worcester night.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
PRONOUNCED DULLNESs. Many Brokers Anticipate the Holiday Little Doina-SmaII Net Gains.


 New York. Nov. 23.-Many brokers were absent from the floor of the stock exchange today, having departed to anticipate the Thanksgiving day holi- cay. As there was no intention on the part Of most of them to return before Monday Of next week, the recent tend- eEcY towards dulness in the dealings n stock7 became more pronounced. The market at times was stagnant and the volume of transactions and the range of price fluctuations was unim- pOrtant at all times. The small net gains about equalled yesterdays de- clines.
 The Mexican disorders received Sood deal of attention. as much from lack of ar other topic for considera- tiup .c from a direct bearing on finan- cial affairs in the United States. The amount of American capital embarked in Mexican enterprises. while consid- CTS ble. is small relatively. The most rronounced effect of the news was seen in the early decline in the price CT American Smelling, amongst whose assets are some Mexican properties. The United States of Mexico four per cent bonds sold down to 92 1-2 al- though previous to this week they had not sold lower than 94 1-4. Today's sales ere only $10,000 par value. Yes terday 5000 were sold at 93 1-2 and s5,000 at 93. The only sale of the bond in October was one transaction for Sl000. The National Railways of Mex leo securities were slightly depressed put the market for them was almost as nominal s for the government bonds
 Last nights dinner of the Railway Business association supplied topics for discussion, but Its effects had been anticipated by reason of the circula- tion of advance copies of the princi- pal addresses. The views of the chairman of the interstate commerce commission in favor of liberal treat ment of the railroads, so far as neces- sary to maintain their effective ex- istence. were sufficiently well known to deprive his address of startling novelty. His stress upon the claims of labor for a share in any rate ad- vance presented a phase of the sub ject which complicates it's advantages from the railroad standpoint. Rumors of a renewal of labor disputes among express company employees also di- rected attention to that subject
 Money conditions showed little change. The ruling rate for call loans receded again and little demand was shown either for call or time loans on collateral at the stock exchange.
 The returns from national banks to the controller are followed with great attention as they are published in fragments from day to day. The mix ed complexion of the showing from many different points makes it inpos- sible to estimate accurately what the average position will be.
 A few specialties were marked up easily. apparently by pools. but other inactive stocks made wide declines on single sales.

MANY STAR BALL PLAYERS
 COME FROM JAY TOWNS
Places Where They Lived Are on Large
 Maps, but Are Hard to Find.

Star ball players. as a rule, are born in the hannlets, not in the big cities. Just now Philadelphia fans are singing the praises of Eddie Collins, John Coombs, Frank Baker and the rest of the Athletic tribe. Practically none of the present Quaker heroes first saw the light of day in quiet Philly and very few made their debut in the large burgs. It's indeed rather inter esting to look up the dope on the men who took part in the recent big series between the Cubs and the Athletics, in which the entire baseball world places of their birth. Perhaps no one player on either the Chicago or Phil adelphia teams came in for more at tention than Eddie Collins. Now, Ed die is a real highbrow. being a gradu ate of Columbia university, and to look at him one would never guess he first saw the light of day in Miller ton, N Y. Just where Millerton Is located, is q rather difficult question to answer, but it suff1ces to say that 1t is somewhere in New York. No doubt it will now become famous ss the home of Eddie Collins.
 Jack Coombs, who did the heavy hurling for the Athletics, is now listed Me, if that burg is fortunate enough to boast of such a luxury. It is gen orally supposed that lawn" is a real Maine -stater, but such is far from be- ing the case, as Le Grande, Ia, claims MT Coonrbs as fits favorite son. It Is hard to say which is the worse pdace, Kennebunk or Le Grande. It's a cinch both are lonesome enough on a stormy winters night

WILL THE MACkKEN
 REPEAT THE DOSE?
Will the Athletics Tenure of Office
 Be Limited 70 One Season?

Will the Athletics last? Will they prove capable of holding their' honors for the three-year stretch that has usually blessed cham pionship ball clubs, or will they fade and fall? Will their tenure of office be limited to a single season, or will they so steadily onward until they do even better than the Bostons. Baltimores, Pirates Cubs or Tigers?
 Twice since the American league was established the Athletics gra bbed off the honors-that is, twice beSore their present lofty elevation. Cn neither occasion could they hold theA own for even one season afterward, getting it in the neck in most lament able fashion It must be remembered, however. that the American league in those days was the closest kind of stuff in each and every sea son. Five or six teams fought clear down to the wire, and the fellow who won out did so by only the closest margin. Teams which have held the championship two or three seasons were, as rule, teams which outclassed all the rest of their company and won their first pennant by a big bulge of percentage points. This year the Athletics won that sort of an easy victory. They out classed the rest of the American league and won off in front, all by their lone someS.

SUCCESSOR FOR OLD
 AMERICAN LEAGUE
Better Things Promised for Motor
 cycle Racing Game.

Bigger and better things are prom ised for the motorcycle racing game next season. This promise is held out to followers of the sport in the con- stantly swelling ranks of professional motorcycle racers. Professionals are bobbing up in every state-amateurs and trade riders who have been tempted by the cash prizes hung up at various race meets. With the increasing number of professional riders will come larger prizes, the ranks of the professionals growing in proportion to the prizes offered. Now that the ball has been started, it is expected to do some tall rolling before the end of next season. and that the summer of 1911 will find great body of active professionals in competition for prizes that are really worth while. This increase in profess sionalism is viewed with favor by of ficers of the Federation of American Motorcyclists, which is designed to become a successor of the old l.. A. w, President Fred I. Willis of Indian apolis having no hesitancy in giving the professional his approval.

HOWE MAY CAPTAIN
YALE'S ELEVEN.

 Years Football Receipts.

New Haven, Nov. 22.-Yale's football receipts will probably prove about $10,000 this year, which is about $3,000 less than in years which Yale hast play ed a the Harvard sSadium.
 Yale fills her stands at home. no matter whether Harvard or Princeton plays; but when Yale plays at PrincG- ton there arc only 20.ooo people pres- ent, while there are 39,000 at the bien- nial game in Boston. The attendance at the Brown game this year was larger than ever before. and that at the Vanderbilt and Colgate matches showed a slight increase.
 The main items in the receipts are: Harvard game $34,000, Princeton $29,- 900. Brown $5,00O, Vanderbilt s1,500, Colgate S1,500.
 Yale's election for captain may be called at once, although Captain Daly says there Is no hurry. The election of Arthur Howe may be made unanimous ly. The names of Morris and Paul are heard. but only for complimentary votes.

STACKING, THE GREAT
 BROWN QUARTERBACK,
Assured of Captaincy of Eleven for
 Next Seascn.

It is practically an assured fact that Sprackling, the great Brown quarter back, will be elected captain of the eleven for next season. Sprack, be- cause of his knowledge of the game his remarkable cieverness, his ability to make men play football and his pop ularity among his teammates is the natural choice for leader of the clever next season, and no one else is talked of to oppose him. The election, whicf will be held shortly after the final game with Carlisle Thursday morning, vii probably be unanimous.
 This Is Sprackling's third year as 2 quarterbaolz for Brown and each sea son he has shown greater improve nent He is 1e0 per cent. better this year than last, and the limit of his powers has not been reached as yet Ii is freely predicted that Sprackling, as captain of the team. will reveal ever greater possibilities of quarterback ok play next season. when he will have three years of experience on the col lege gridiron to back hins up.

 With the possible exception of last year, when there were 80-odd eXhlb- itors in the palace show, this Is the largest number of exhibitors that have ever taken part in either licensed or unlicensd show in New York, and there is every reason to believe that at least a dozen more makers will come in during the next week or so. The new exhibitors include g number of we'll known makers, and some who have yet to make a name for them selves in the automobile hall of fame
