Butler, quarterback; TnderhiIl, fullback, and Hawkins, a halfback, are still too badly crippled to enter the game according to the coaches who decided tonight upon the lineup.
 Trainor will start the game at quar- ter and Blackwell at fullback. The halves will be Mccormick and Collins. Whyte, who is still in bad shape, and Hill, will be used as substitutes
 The other positions will be filled as follows: Left end, Eyrich; left tac- lxle. Munk; left guard, O'Rourke; cen ter, Miller; right guard. AIunns; right tackle, Williamson; right end, Fritz
 The squad had a lively signal drill today at Inlet park and all the players appear to have benefited by their stay here. Coach Reed was better satisfied with the work of the men today and said that the team might pull itself together and give Pennsylvania an interesting time. The players are more optimistic than the coaches and say they expect to win.

BATTING sLumPs.
The Best of Them Can't Hit the Ball
 Sometimes. Says Evans.

Then there was poor Jack Murray, the cleanup man of the Giants. who failed to get a single hit in the six games There is no doubt that Mur- rays failure to hit injured the chances of the Giants to considerable degree. But what does the failure of Murray to hit safely in any one of the six games prove? Absolutely nothing, in my very humble opinion, Is the way Umpire Billy Evans comments on some of the lessons to be drawn from the worlds series. I have seen great hitters like Cobb, Wagner, Lajoie, Magee, Craw- ford. Speaker and any of the other hard hitters go as many as six games. and often more, without getting a hit Such happenings were simply batting SlCmps, common to every batter Sud hit the ball harder than ever. Is it not possible to fall into a batting slump in a worlds series as easy as in any other set of ganes2 Easier, I think If I am not mistaken, Danny Murphy played in about IT games several years ago without making a. hit Possibly it worried Connie Mack but he never showed it. Random was crying for Murphy's removal, but Mack never Wavered an instant Comics conf1- dence was finally justified. for when Murphy started hitting he batted in victory after victory for the Athletics.

 them over the fence. Often during the regular season Baker cleared the walls Of Shibe park with his mighty drives. Such wa1lops were discussed for few days. and then forgotten until he re- peated. It was the fact that Baker scored his two home runs and his sew eral doubles in so important a meeting as the worlds series that caused him to be hailed as Home Run Baker in every city and hamlet. He was just as hard a. hitter before the start of the series. He simply delivered in aeeries ir which the entire baseball world was interested Throughout the American league season Chief Bender showed the same wonderful ability that character -- ized his work against the Giants. American league enthusiasts have all ways regarded him as a great pitcher. tut 1t took his three magnificent per formances against the much touted Giants to make the fans wag their tongues over his prowess- It was sim ply because Bender had 'started in a worlds series- Fandom is mighty fckIe- It takes the baseball enthusi- ast only very short time to forget past deeds. Tn all probability the fans will be worshipping at the shrines of some new heroes a year hence.

 Practice was of the signal variety, without scriTnlnaglng, and the plays were run off up and down the field to keep the squad from growing rusty.

Daniel Murphy, the pride of Olney- Vile and more familiarly known as Danny, and one of the heroes in the worlds championship series battle be- tween the Athletics and the Giants, ar r.Ned nere yesterday and spent the evening visiting old friends.
 Danny had q boost to give for all or his teammates, and what he had to say about Baker-Home Run Baker would fill a book. Coombs and Bender also came in for generous praise. He said Coombs had recovered from his operation and gave every indication of being back on the job stronger than ever in 1912.
 Murphy, who played right field in the big games in October. and who contrib uted noticeably to the last victory for the Athletics-with 2 cluster of hits, will succeed the veteran Harry Davis as captain of the Philadelphias next year.

ADDITION TO 2.1o LIST.
Nada and pr. ArehdaIe Bring Seasons
 Number Up to Fifty.

The last important trotting meeting of 1911, held at Phoenix, Ariz.. added two more 2.10 trotters to the seasons fast list which now numbers an even 50 for 1911, four more than the high water mark for any previous year. The new additions were Nada. 2.09 1-4. by Nushagack. the sire of Aristo. 2.0S I-4. which was raced sev- en years ago in the trotting string of James Butler, and look her record at Brighton Beach track in the worlds fastest dead heat with Sweet Marie. The second new addition of the 50 is Dr. ArchdaIe, 2-09 3-4, by the sire of Geer's Dudie Archdale, 2.06 1-4. While there might be one or two more addi- against time, yetA the chances are that the year will close with the present half hundred with fast records
 The present increase of 2.10 trotters. whole decades, demonstrates the won derful speed deN Nelopnent of the Amer jean trotter, and once more calls att tentfon to the oft discussed question of lowering the speed standard at least 10 seconds from the present obsolete 2.30 for the mile trotting. From 1884. when Maud S. first trotted mile in 2.10 at Cleveland, and later in 2-09 3-4, at Lexington. to the close of 1885, or over a decade ago, the total number of 2.10 trotters was six less than the number placed on the fast list in 1911 alone, while the additions from the
 
 total 51.
 The present day increase is not in the number of 2-10 trotters alone. but in the fast general average speed of tho performers. Taking the average speed of the entire list of 2-10 trotters up and including the season of 1896. when the number. reached the 50 mark 1t is shown that of the 51 at that date 3S had records of POS os slower, and only 13 from POT 3-4 to 2.03 3-4, the latter then worlds record Of Aiix. This years new list shows that the per formers are about evenly divided at that grade of speed, while of tn list of those that secured a faster mark being previously in the 2.10 circle. this I speed average is far in excess. The prevailing custom of marking horses with fast records in starts against time, of course, has contributed much to the unusual increase in the 2.10 as well as standard speed list, yet the 'tin cup" performers are still compar- atively small. That the present num- Der will be far exceeded in the future, there is not the least doubt, and the largest addition will surely come from the youngsters, of which an unusually big number are now in preparation for the rich futurities, the main purpose being to mark them, if not in races, in starts against time.

Worlds Series in Three Games.

The shortest and sweetest worlds s cham mpionship series on record was the Providence Metropolitan clash of 1884. Providence won the National league pennant, while the Metropolitans were the champions of the American asso- c.ation- "Old Hoss'' Radbourne a wonderful right handler from Rockford, IT., was the star twirler of the Provi- dence team. He established a world s record by pitching something like 26 consecutive games for the Providence club in one season. A little thing like pitching an entire worlds series never struck "Old Hoss" as being anything out of the ordinary, so when the Prov idence Grays tied up with the Metro polftans RadbOurne volunteered to twirl every game It didn't last long. how ever for the Nets couldn't see Rad s fast ball and he beat them three straight games, winning the first two games from Timothy keefe. the gent who bowled over Charles King in the 1888 series.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
A HEARIsH DAY.
Result of an Attack by the Profes-
 sional Traders,

New York, Nov 29.-Traders were bearish today and stocks gave way Srhe pressure on the market could not be attributed to any unfavorable infiu- ence from without, for the day was barren of events bearing directly enough upon security values to explain the movement Apparently it was the work of professional traders who, talk ing advantage of the -r>ral reluctance to buy stocks at this time, attacked the market. This unwilIingness to buy was due largely to the fact that con gress is to meet on Monday and that the presidents message, taking up the trust question, is soon ta' be read. business was also restricted because of the holiday tomorrow
 Call money rose to six per cent. to- day as compared with three and one half at the close yesterday. This rate is the highest of the year. A six per cent. rate seemed high because abnor- mally low rates have prevailed for so long.
 Foreign exchange rates again weak ened today Bonds irregular. Total sales par value. $5,646.0 .000- United States bonds unchanged on call.
