ALL STAR TEAM PICKED.
MoAIeer Has Selected Men to Play
Athletics In After Season Games.

MoAleer Has Selected Men to Play
Athletics In After Season Games.
Jim McAleer, manager Of the Wash.
ington Nationals, has made arrange
ments for an all star combination to
whip the Athletics into condition for
the worlds series while the Nati0nal
leaguers are stretching their schedule
to Oct H. As the American league
winds up on Oct. 7 In the east and Oct.
8 In the west, the Athletics will have
four days to get into trim for the big
event. Sunny Jim's all stars will be
made up of the following talent:
Outfelders-Speaker, Boston; Milan.
Washington: Cobb, Detroit.
Infelders Lord, Chicago; Mcbride.
Washington; Chase, New York; Elber-
field, Washington.
Pitchers-Walsh, Chicago; Johnson,
Washington; Ford, New York; White,
Chicago.
Catchers-Street, Washington; Sulli-
van, Chicago.
This array Of cracks surely ought to
make the White Elephants step few.
There are many critics who believe
that 1t was the series with the all stars
that enabled the Athletics to win so
easily from the Cubs last season. II
such was the case it would be well for
the National league schedule makers
to end their schedule earlier, so as to
prevent their American league rivals
from getting the benefit Of this series
with the all stars.

Yesterday Near Marshall
Hall.

News reached this city late yesterday
evening that Carl Pettitt, a young man
of this city, had been drowned during
the morning at GreenWay Point, a short
distance below Marshall Hall. Ac-
cording to information received, the
unfortunate young man, who was en-
ployed on a sand dredging machine,
entered a small boat and proceeded
some distance from the dredge for the
purpose of recovering an anchor.
While engaged in attempts to grapple
the anchor the boat capsized and he
was thrown into the water. Petit at
tempted to swim to the dredge, but
became exhausted before reaching it
and sank. Young Pettitt had been re-
siding with his sister, Mrs. MCGOWAN,
in this city. He was native of Ac-
cotink, Fairfax county,. He was about
25 years old.

suEkP-Numerically the fresh supply
OF sheep and lambs had plenty of size,
amounting to fully 1900 head, but it
was run Of feeders instead OF finished

was nothing very toppy on safe in the
way of hgh-grade lambs. Wyoming

cago territory furnished an even larger
Iun for that market, promising an aggre-
gate crop this week that will at least be
one of the largest of the season. Locally
the three days receipts amount to about

With the big end of the run consisting
OF thin lambs ranging from So pounds
downward, business in fat varieties was
necessarily OF modest vaiume. Packers

NEW YORK, Oct 25.-The securities
market remained today I'm suspended ami
nation. Prices were virtually on a dead
level. The only noticeable change was
that the marke lost the firm tone which
has characterized II recently. Interest
was centered upon the progress OF the
contest over the American Tobacco re-
organization plan, which, In the opinion
OF some traders, is the pivot of the pres
ent situation.
News that the parent company had
determined TO release ITS hold upon dis
contented subsidiary was received with
favor, as the step removed one source OF
determined opposition 10 the scheme OF
reorganization. This influence was off
the protest of independents and the con-
tlnued conference between the attorney
general and interests dissatisfied with
the present proposals.
The present stagnatlon Of the market

DisPosITioN-HEAD


CA1 LE-1here was another very ilo-
eral run of cattle this morning, 265 cars
beng reported in. This makes the total
for the three days Is, $40 head, slight
falling off as compared with last week
and a year ago. Locally receipts were
not large enough to have been burden
some, but the fact that other markets
were heavily loaded, eastern markets
especially being slow and lower, had a
depressing effect upon the trade at this
point. AS a result the market on all
kinds of cattle was very slow and dull
and the morning was well advanced be-
fore any business Of Importance had been
transacted. The trade in fact might be
described as a slow to loo lower market
on all kinds Of cattle. This would mean
that some of the best cattle sold at steady
prices, with common and medium kinds
in many cases all OF 10c lower.
