forecast with gloom at both the Chi

Officials and others who examined the
condition of the ground at the West
Side ball park this afternoon declared
that a heavy shower tomorrow morn
ing would compel another postpone
ment of the fourth game, which was to
have been played today.
The discouraging weather outlook
was the only subject discussed by
gatherings of baseball enthusiasts at
various hotels, theaters and restau-
rants tonight. Followers of the Phila-
delphia team in particular were dis
playing Impotence with the situation.
They took todays postponement with
no great display of philosophy, and
when told of the possibility of a sec

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
HESITATING TONE.
Final Prices Were Lower Than Thurs
days Close.

New York, Oct. 21.-The advance in
stocks, which was pushed with vigor
during the earlier portion of the day,
encountered some obstacles later which
resulted in a hesitating and irregular
tone. "A retrograde movement in the
latter part OF the day left final prices
lower than the previous days close.
How far the halt in the speculation
may have been due to misgiTings over
the money position did not appear in
any action of the money market Itself,
hat medium appearing inVuinerable to
che developments indicating a deple
lion of resources. The call loan rate
was unaffected and the tone of the
time money market itself was called
somewhat easier, although 50 dull as
to afford little indication of large ten

rencS movement, however, indicated
another substantial impairment of the
cash holdings of the banks through
the renewed demands from the interior.
The probability is that the only way
the banks can have avoided an i'm
pairment Of the surplus is by continu-
ing the policy of transfer of loans to
the trust companies, as they have been
doing since the opening of October.
The process serves to keep up the
banking position on it's face, but the
encroa chment on available supplies of
credit is going on just the same, even
occurs. There is question also how
far the bar to borrowing in London
raised by the increase in the Bank of
England discount rate may have
thrown back demands on the New
York lending institutions. The London
discount market was strong today and
the effect was to carry foreign ex-
change rates here another degree near
er the level of profit on gold exports.
This combination of circumstances
bearing on the money market position
seemed to arouse the sOlicitude of the
speculative element even without the
positive check of higher money rates.
The pronounced pressure which de-
veloped against the copper industrials
gave color to supposition of cleavage
in market sentiment between great
financial groups. The decline in the

vance in the London price of the

Since 1903, when the worlds cham

WHY NOT GRAND WELCOME
HOME FOR MURPHY:
Is Homo Town Going to Do Anything
for One of the Heroes of Present
World Series?

Why not give Danny Murphy well
come home from the worlds series that
will make him know that the old town
of Norwich has had an eye on his spec
tacular work that has counted so con-
siderably in the three victories of the
Athletics? This was a question push
ed out by a recent gathering of
local fans who We're discussing the
practically certain possibility that Dan
ny will returne next week to this city,
as member of the worlds champion
baseball team for 1910.
Why not get out the band and burn
few skyrockets and a plentitude of
redfire? Here's something that a whole
lot of fans could get in on, even if they
couldn't go down to Philadelphia or
Chicago, where the Norwich boy shone
as one of the most glittering in a. COL
lection of all-stars. Baseball critics
the country over are beginning to come
to the conclusion that the present Ath-
letics will rank perhaps as the great
est team in the history of the game,
and right in the forefront of their tri-
umph has been the heavy clouting of
Danny Murphy, coupled with dazzling
fielding performances.
Who will volunteer to push the well
come through? The Sporting Editor
of The Bulletin will receive and ac-
knowledge any contributions for this
object and put the money in any prop
err organization to manage a grand
welcome for Murphy.

OVERTIME CONTESTS MANY.
American League Had II Extra Inning
Games the Past Season.

American league players did a lot of
overtime work on the diamonds this
year, but no. single cambat came any
where near the major league long dis
lance record. There have been ~ bat
ties this year which could not be de-
cided in nine innings. The longest one
lasted 16 innings and was not decided.
There were only so extra inning games
in the American league last season, and
So the year before. In 1909 there We're
two games of longer duration than the
1910 limit. One of them went 1S in
nings and the other IT. The major
league record is "a innings.
Chicago was mixed UP in % of this
years long contests, being participants
with Philadelphia in the Is inning
draw which tops the list. The White
Sox also were engaged in two Is in
ming battles. both OF which they won.
The first of them was with Detroit and
the other with Boston. Comisky's men
also took part in three IA inning and
two IS inning affairs during the year,
besides numerous overtime scraps of
lesser degree. The SoX, in spite of
their low ranking in the race, have
broken even in the extra inning bat
ties they have played, and that is A
lot better than they have done in the
nine inning affairs Chicago has won
nine extra inning battles, tied two and
lost II of them.
The leagues champions have proved
game fighters. for they have lost only
four out of the Is extra inning games
in which they have hooked up. The
Athletics have won 10 such games and
drawn four. Two Of the four defeats
handed the Mack men in long battles
have been given them by the White
Sox. In three overtime games Phila-
delphia has beaten Chicago. In this
years list there are five games of Is
innings duration. and there was none
of that length last year. Nine games
have lasted Il innings, as compared to
two such games last season. Oddly
enough, there have been three IS in
ming games this year and the same
number were played in 1900. In games
of shorter duration 1910 has been much
more prolific than last year was.
