ATHLETICS HOME AGAIN.
Expect to Make Today's Game the
Deciding One.

Philadelphia. Oct. ga majority
of the local baseball fans who stood
gazing at the newspaper score boards
which were giving the progress of the
fifth game between the New York Gil
ants and the Athletics today groaned
when Doyle crossed the plate with the
winning run. but cheers were min
gled with the groans.
The Athletics reached this city to-
night and did not appear downcast in
the least over todays defeat.
They fully expect to win the sixth
game of the series. 1t is probable that
Plank, who was sent to the relief of
CoomDs in the tenth inning, will take
up the burden for them tomorrow.
What pitcher Manager sAlcGraw will
use is a puzzle. It is hardly probable
that he will risk Vanguard again and
with Mathewson eliminated from the
game on account OF his hard battle on
Tuesday, the choice seems to lie be-
tween the second string, composed of
Crandall, Wiltse and Ames.

BosToN's NEW BALL PARK.
VIII Be Made For
2S,000 at American League Grounds.

If architects plans are any criterion
no baseball park in the country will
have much on the new stamping
grounds of the Boston Red Sox for
1872. Stands are to De erected which
will hold, it is estimated, upward of
$4,000 fans, as the promoters plan for
Is, o0o grand stand seats, $500 pavilion
and $500 bleacher roosts The new
stands will differ from the style OF
those erected in other cities in one
important respect in ahat they will
have but one deck. for in the opinion
OF Boston cub officials one deck, made
amply large enough to accommodate
the crowds, will be sufficient and much
more desirable 1t is, however, plan
ned to build the new grand stand
deeper than most of those Of other
grounds. The left foul line will be
325 feet in length, with no seats in
center field, and the distance to the
fence in center will measure $50 feet.
The right field foul line VIII be $50
feet long. Work on the ground itself
is now well under way. and the out
field has been loaned and seeded. The
diamond proper is also under con
struction and is being sodded with
the diamond sod of the old Hunting
ton avenue grounds Ornate entrances
are planned for Ipswich and Jersey
streets.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
PRICES ON DEAD LEVEL.
Securities Market in State of Suspend
ed Animation.

New York Oct. 25.-The securities
market remained today in state OF
suspended animation. Prices were held
virtually on a. dead level. The only no.
ticeaible change was that the market to
some extent lost the firm tone which
has characterized it recently. Interest
was centered largely upon the progress
of the contest over the American To-
bacco reorganization plan, which in the
opinion of some traders is the pivot
of the present situation. News that
the parent company had determined to
release it's hold upon a discontinued
subsidiary was received with favor as
the step removed one source of deter
mined opposition to the scheme OF re-
organization.
This influence was Offset however
by the filing in the court of the protest
of independents and the continued con-
ference between the attorney general
and interests dissatisfied with the pres
ent proposals. The protest against any
method which does not involve sep
aate ownership of the corporations va
rious segments raises an issue which,
in the view of Wall street. will go far
toward determining the ultimate effect
of decree of the court against corpora
lions under the Sherman law.
So long as the present degree of I'M
certainty exists concerning the out
come of the Tobacco plan it is regard
ed as likely that the tendency on the
part OF spectators TO hold aloof from
trading will persist. Operators on
both sides of the market are equally
unwilling TO take chances. The pres
ent stagnation of the market is illus
trated by the fact that Union Pacific,
one of the three speculative leaders,
closed on last Saturday, Monday and
Tuesday at the same price, and ended
today's session only a small fraction
above it. The heavier undertone which
prevailed during the greater part OF
the session was overcome at the close,
when most of the small losses We're
made up. The Steel issues as q group
seemed to be in a vulnerable position.
Republic Steel showed the greatest
weakness, the common yielding two
and the preferred four points. Heayi-
ness in these stocks was attributed to
trade prospects.
Among the railroad stocks Canadian
Pacific was strongest. The rise in this
stock was in response to the roads
continued Improvement in earnings.
American Cotton Oh Continued it's de-
cline today, touching AZ -2, it's lowest
price since 1903, before rallying sharp

the company has not been earning
the full amount of the dividend on the
preferred issue, which has been paying

1898. The governments cotton ginning
report, while it was regarded as favor
able from the stock point of view, has
no effect upon speculation, except in
the cotton market.

New York, hooked up in a. great bat
tie in 1888. Comiskey's st. Louis
Browns won the American association
pennant that year, while-New York
won the National league pennant.
King was a speed merchant. He
was known all over the circuit as
Cannon Ball King. and few catchers
cared to handle his not shot. Big
gloves were unknown in those days,
and catcher worked behind the bat
with a small glove like the outfelders
use nowadays. Keefe beat King in
the first game of the 1888 series. the
score being to 1. Each team made
three hits. Keefe also knocked King
down in the second game, to 2, each
pitcher allowing five hits; Keefe won
the third game. to A. This time the
New York club batted King for nine
hits. Ileefe won four games for New
York in that series, defeating Cham
berlain in one game. Charles koenig
is now a prosperous builder in St.
Louis.
Koefe's feat of defeating Con,iskey's
st. Louis Browns four times was ex-
celled by Charles Getzein of Detroit
in the memorable series OF 1887. Get
1ein and Catcher Camel of Detroit
formed famous battery. Getzein was
a right handler with burning speed
and splendid control. He became the
hero of the 1887 series unexpectedly.
The st. Louis Browns figured Getzein
would be easy picking. Lady Baldwin,
sensational southpaw, was the De-
troit pitcher Conliskey's men feared.
But Baldwin was not right. and Get
zein was called upon to do the bulk
of the work. He won five games from
the Browns, including great thir-
teen-lnning battle over Bobby Caru-
theirs, that really won the series for
Detroit. The Browns never came back
after Getzein hung the Indian sign on
Caruthers in the great inning
battle, the score being 2 to l..

KEEP COOL" IS
SPRACkLlNG'S ADVICE
Brown Quarterback Tells Young Play
ers What to Dc.

keep a cool head" is one of the
leading tips that Earl Spracklirag, all
American quarterback, last year, gives
70 aspiring football players. Sprack-.
ling recently handed out q lew DTS
of advice which will no doubt prove
of value to schooIboys. He cited sew
eral instances of where players had
FORGOTTEN even the simplest things
about football in the excitement OF a
game because of the fact that rney
got ratified. Goodness, he said. was
one OF the main requisites Tor play
er running a team.
Sprackling laid some stress on the
need of good kiclxers this year. Ihere
are many kinds Of kicks III footbali,
and as many ways to make them,
says the famous gridiron star. The
most common is the long, high punt.
Mckay. Browns captain last year, was
the best man [ ever saw at this style.
He held the ball at arms length ana
on a level with his head,~ the Dali
pointing at an agile OF thirty degrees,
He brought his leg up straight to the
knee. until his foot turned inward
at the same angle as the ball. He
caught the ball on the side, giving 1t
the spiral twist His kick continued
through Until his foot was over his
head.
..Ir the east, the long, low punt IS
gaining favor. The ball travels about
ten yards high, and is hard TO handle
Pennsylvania's quarterback had this
, kick down fine last year. His. kicks
would travel through the air for
twenty yards. hit the ground, then roll
forty to fifty yards more.
The drop kick and place Rick Will
| be more important this year, for there
| is a lack Of scoring plays within the
twenty yard line. A team insult nave
a man who can make field goals. Inc
place kick gives more distance, but
is less accurate than the drop KICK,
| because two men handle the bali in
the former
a drop kick is usually made by
dropping ths ball with o slight tilt
backward. When it touches the ground
the toe hits the ball on the under
| side.
| tThe ball should be dropped on a
| level spot. Keep your eye on the pail
after gausing the distance and dlrec-
ton of the goal post
THE quart erback does his heavy
work when the team is on the often
| sive. On the defense he must be a
sure tackler and a sure handler of
punts In open field tackling don't
run up to the man with the ball. 1t
gives him q chance to dodge. want
| for him. Feint from left to right.
| Puzzle him. Then tackle him low. "A
high epen-field tackle is calamity.
| IF the man with the ball is running
| diagona1ly across the field, drive him
! toward the side line and keep him
i there so he can be forced out of
| bounds. That is the surest way to
get MIN. But Keep cool"

YALE COACHES
DRIVING VARSITY HARD
Regulars Score Is Points Against
Freshman Eleven.

New Haven, Oct. 25.-The Yale var
sity football eleven, minus several of
the regulars. scored fifteen points
against the freshman team in a 20
minute scrimmage today. The men
were driven hard and it seems to be
the intention of the coaches to give
the team the hardest kind of work
from now until the big games. Cap
tain Howe was not in the lineup today
but spent the time kicking field goals.
There was still a great deal of fun
bling, fault which the coaches have
not yet been able to overcome. Sew
ernal new formations were tried and
worked out smoothly.
