FREAK PLAYS ARE LUCK.
Jennings Looks at 1t That Way on
 the Diamond.

Jimmy McAleer, now a Boston mag nate, tells of a freakish play he pulled when q member of the Cleveland club. He was given credit for great clever ness and foresight for his part in the proceedings. A good hitter was up. and AcAleer was playing fairly deep. When he assumed his position, he mo- ticed the glove of the outhelder on the other team was sticking in the alr instead of lying flat on the ground. Realizing 1t might possibly interfere with the course of ground ball, he hasteded in to where the glove was lying. Just about this time the pitch CT had started to deliver the ball. A crack Of the bat caused Jimmy to look up. To his surprise he saw the ball coming toward him at the speed of a cannon ball. Realizing that the hit would break up the game if 1t got away he made q frantic dive after the ball and speared it with his gloved hand. He had only hoped to stop it's mad course, and was the most sur prised man on the grounds when he aIized he had caught the Dill.
 Tt was simply Q freak of luck that I caught the ball, but the stands went

STOCKS AT srANDsTILL.
Few Issues Moved Point One Way
 or the Other.

New York Dec. 4.--With a new SeS- l sion of congress today and presl- dential message for tomorrow 10 m i huence trading, stocks did little tooay' Not many issues moved as much as ! point either way. When trading was i begun the market looked heavy, on account of small declines among some of the speculative leaders. Prices soon rose to about Saturdays close, put during the afternoon drifted downward d again slowly. Before the close the de- mand increased, probably on account of short covering, and the oeclIileS were largely made up. The hesitation n shown by the market at the time or the converting of congress was que 70 recognition of the fact that at tIilS session legislation of great concern 10 the business interests of the country is to be considered. The question or governmental control of corporations, the revision of the tariff, the sale Of se- curities by railroads, as taken up Dy the IIad1ey conmi ssion, and proposals for currency legislation, all will prob ably come up for diScuSs1Ons and IF IS generally believed that the dominant interests in the stock market VIII pc slow to. take a. decided position untll 1t is possible to gain some idea or the probable trend of events at Wasnlng- ton. Recent discussion of the trust problem, and hearings by committees from congress served to heighten the interest which is felt in the actiVlues of the national legislators this winter.
 Retirement of the old Standard on mana cement had only an indirect bear ing upon the securities market, and found no reflection in the movement of prices Standard Oil stock remain ed unchanged at $50 bid after an- nouncement of the change. It was gen orally understood that the change was largely d nominal one, and that the men who within the last few years mad been gradually taking over the work of the older officers would continue in active control.
 The unexpectedly poor showing Of the bank statement on Saturday was reflected in the time money market to- day. Rates for sixty and nlnety aays
 were higher, and there was better 1n- aufry. Call money, however, was cas- Ter, some loans being made as as low a figure as per cent, coupar- cd with the maximum of 6 per cent 1n the latter part of last week.
 There was further heavy trading today in the Gould securities, especial ly Wabash stocks and bonds. which displayed further strength. Wabash preferred and the { per cent bonds at one time showed gains of two points or more. The Wheeling and Lake Erie movement was prObabI in anticipa- tion of developments this week in the proposed Wabash -Pittsburg terminals reorganization plan. Some of the southern stocks were strong, with Louisville and Nashville and Atlantic Coast Line making the best gains
 Among the inactive issues, Under wood Typewriter and Texas company hshowed pronounced strength.
 Bonds were irregular. Business was broad and dealings in the local trac- tions continued on a large scale. To- tai sales par value, S5,066 900.

 During a flaming bee at the big series. freak plays were discussed. HuEncy Jennings comment on such were of tt very timely nature:
 Many of the plays that prove to be the tuning point in important con tests are credited to quick thinking on the part of this or that player. Nine times out Of ten it was luck or a freak of fortune that enabled the player to complete the play successfully"

In view OF the fact that some of the
best poultry and pet stock shows ever
seen in this country are the results OF
work done by our fellow-citizen, w. r.
Andrews, at number OF the county
fairs in West Tennessee this fall, we are
inclined to make the suggestion that
the West Tennessee Fair Circuit could
profit greatly by securing the services
of such man as Mr.. Andrews to man
age this department of the work for the
circuit fairs every fall. The fact OF the
business is that the circuit was organ
lied for the purpose OF taking advan-
tage of those things which might be
had by cooperation, and so far no adj
vantages have been derived except those
connected with the races. There should
be competent man for this depart
ment, and none we know is better suited
for the work than Mr. Andrews. By
this means exhibits can be drawn from
one fair to the other, and no fair in the
State could have better show OF poul-
try than any of the fairs Of this circuit.
We believe cooperation in other depart
ments OF the circuit would also be adj
vantageous. There should be some
thing gained in the circuit organization
besides the stables Of racers.
