was Jim McAleer. He left word that
he would probably he gone until even

that he was probably at work on the
deal to obtain stock in the WASHINGTON

The Daily News devotes a column TO
the projected purchase Of stock by Nc
Aleer. declaring that McAleer would be
welcomed by all the other magnates,
and would have the support of Ban
johnson in all his dealings.
The Journal goes further than any of
the other papers by saying that Nc
Aleer will not only land a big block
0f stock, but will proba oily be elected
president in case Tom Noyes should de-
eide not to continue in the capacity
which he has held for years.

Of day for the Nationals.

The signing Of Ralph Maths. Rich
mond's star gardener, is another step
in the right direction toward the gen.
eral upouilding of the Nationals. 1t Is
impossible to build up a team with
veterans. They are slowing with every
year. None but the youngster holds
out promise. OF being fast for some time
to come. Il, don't want any veterans,
Jimmy 'McAleer told me day or So
before the team went West. Il have
told the scouts for this club that only
youngsters, preferably those without
even a slight trial in the majors, would
be considered By me. The talk has al
ways been that the Washington team
wanted old men. l have been told that
1 never gave youngsters a chance. Now
all / want is youngsters. l want them
when they are green and able to learn.
Some day this team will be up there in
the fight. 1t may be a long time ahead
but a team of youngsters grows faster
and faster instead Of slower and slow
eP." McAleer evidently had this in
mind when he signed this nineteen-year-
old boy down in Richmond.

4 SMALL CHANCE
VARIATIONS OF ACTIVE ISSUES
CONFINED TO SMALL FRAC-
TONS BETWEEN LOSSES AND
GAINS.

New York, Oct. 10.-There were no
important changes from yesterdays
finals in the opening of stocks today
Variations of the active issues were
confined to small fractions about
equally divided between gains and
losses
After a brief period of hesitation
and receding prices the market began
to move in a more vigorous fashion
with a good demand for Union Paci-
fic, Reading. Lehigh Valley and Uni
ted States Steel, and there were ad
vances in less important stocks. Gen
eral Electric and Texas company
moved up two points.
While the steel corporation state
ment of untitled tonnage for Septem-
Der was negatively favorable, it failed
to. stimulate any demand for that
stock, or excite interest elsewhere.
Speculative interest in stocks was
at low ebb today, and in the absence
of new influences, the market pc
came stagnant. An attempt to drive
in shorts produced no decided results
and prices eased off slightly before
noon. Atlantic Coast Line lost IA
of yesterdays gain.
Bonds We're quiet.
Some selling orders We're distributed
after 1 o'clock and all of the active
issues gave way from u to a poin'
below the high figures. U. S. Steel
and Reading again relapsed to below
