MAN WHO DISCOVERED CHANCE.
Bill Lange Quit Game When He Was
 Able to Continue in Harness.

Bill Lange. the man who discovered Frank Chance, prospective manager of the Highlanders, is the only great player who quit baseball when he was ablt to command a large salary and stay away. In 1899 Lange announced his retirement, which was regarded as bluff by public and ball players who didn't know Lange. Tn 1900, when the American league was or ganized, I was offered s7.500 and s500 expenses to join the Boston or Chi cago National league club said Lange Detroit started to dicker with me, but they found out l was out ot the game permanently. was succeed ing in the real estate business and de- termined to stick to it. There is real news in this statement. Lange was noted as a base runner. He went into second like a windmill on the large. His arms and legs whlrled in all di- rections and his speed was terrific. Few men had the temerlty to make A genuine effort to retire him. No infielder cared to block him and risk broken bones. In 1896 and 1897 Lange led all National league base runners. In 1896 he stole 100 bases and the next year ss. He was the fourth man to steal 100 bases between 1890 and 1900. Stovey got his 156 in the Players league in 1890: Hamilton stole 102 In 1890 and in 1891 stole 115. Brown, in the American association. stole 1i0. To Bill I.ange. Willie Keeler is the great est player that ever lived and Amos Rusie the greatest pitcher. He does not think the game is any faster. but says the publicity given by the news papers leads to this conclusion by many people.

Langford Puts Away McVey.

Sydney. Australia, Dec. 26.-Sam Langford knocked out Sam McVey in the thirteenth round today in one of the fiercest heavyweight battles seen in Australia in years
 Langford had the best of the fight ing throughout the match. He se- verely punished McVey who, however made a plucky defense.
 Langford begin fighting fiercely in the first round, landing lefts and rights and driving McVey to the ropes
 Only during the second and third rounds did McNey show any sign of equality with his Nova Scotian op- ponent and even then his punches did not worry Langford a great deal
 In the fourth round Langford floored McVey with an uppercut to the chin and from then on McVey simply tried to protect himself but received severe punishment
 The finish came in the thirteenth round when Langford again forced McVey to the ropes and then landed innumerable lefts and rights on his face causing McVey to fall, complete ly beaten.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
DULLER THAN TUESDAY.
Smallest Business in Wall Street Since
 July, 1911.

New York, Dec. 26.-There were no signs today of an awakening of the stock market from the lethargy into which 1t had fallen lately. Trading was even duller today than during Tuesdays listless session, and the bus mess done was the smallest since July 191l, the total being 1O1000 shares. Holiday conditions still obtained, and with the foreign exchanges closed and money rates soaring there was little incentive to do business.
 While variations were unusually small, firm undertone prevailed de- spite the furry in money which sent up the rate for call funds to F per cent. Prices eased off fractionally when interest charges were climbing, but later recovered. Trading in the local traction issues were again unusually active and some further gains were made. few of the specialties moved widely Included In this list were Pullman and Sears Roebuck, which were strong, and Rubber, which sold down more than three points. Lack awanna was unusually active, but it's price was little affected by announce ment of the terms of subscription to the new, stock issue. Standard oil is- sues were active and strong on the curb. Standard Oll or New Ork aQ- vanced to 690, a rise of 106 points in less than week. Other oil shares rose % to 50 points
 Uncertainty as to the course of mon ey rates during the closing days of the year probably will continue to act as a drag on speculation. The first of the November returns from transcontinental roads came in today. and in each case further sub stantial gains in both gross and net earnings were shown. Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, Atchison and North western all reported gains, while from
 the south good return was made by l the Southern.

Chicago, Dec. 26.-After long dis tance telephone conversation with Roger Bresnahan today, President Murphy of the Chicago National league baseball club said he was cer- tain the former St. Louis manager would be with the Chicago club next year.
 Murphy refused to say what offer he had made Bresnahan, but it was understood he told the catcher man ager he would give him a bonus of S10,000 for his signature and three year contract at $6,500 q year. Bres- nahan is free to sign with any Ma tional league club as he was dis charged by Mrs. Helen Britton, owner of the St. Louis team. Cincinnati and Pittsburgh have been trying to sign him.
 Murphy said he believed Bresnahan, who is 32 years old, would be good for six or seven more years in the major league. If he comes here he will be expected to do half of the receiving.

umpire, Fultz in an article in the Providence Journal saysi
 To one who has been permitted to pass behind the scenes in & great foot ball contest there is much of interest which is usually hidden from the pub lie eye. The loyal spectators of the great college game, who range them selves in ever increasing thousands, a living wall about the numberless grid irons which are scattered throughout the nation, seldom realize the import ant work of the official.
 Yet upon these officials depends much of the success of the game. It is their duty to see that the laws which are installed by the rules committee for the whole football world shall be accurately and impartially enforced. And from their decisions there is no appeal.
 Much has been written of the base ball umpire and his troubles. Little or nothing of corresponding nature has brought to light the worries of the football official And yet of the two it is my firm belief that the arbiter of the gridiron has more cause for anxiety than his much afflicted com- panion on the diamond.
 'In the case of the baseball umpire every play which is reserved for his judgment is comparatively obvious. It is true that his decisions are import ant and oftentimes decide game, but there is by no means the opportunity for him to go far wrong that is ever present in the case of a football of- ficial.
 Tn a football contest the official is supposed to see a great deal that as matter of fact he cannot see at all. No human eye, however acute, can see through struggling mass of players and detect every little act of every individual involved.
 The official must often size up situation solely upon his intuition and previous experience as player and of flcial
 But there Is no doubt that much occurs in every game which he cannot detect. however anxious he may be. and which doubtless would have af fected his decisions. It thus follows that there Is always a strong lilreli- hood of an officials misjudging a play or giving an unjust decision without any Intention in the world of doing so"

FOOTBALL UMPIRE
 HAS DIFFICULT JOB.
Dave Fultz Says Work is More Com plex Than That of Baseball Arbiter.

David L. Fultz, former football and baseball player and president of the Baseball Players fraternity, deplores the lot of the football umpires and de- clares the job worse than that of the baseball umpire. Fultz has had a wide experience in football. and umpired the recent Yale-Harvard game. when he accidentally ripped Charley Brickley, preventing a Harvard touchdown. Fultz says gridiron arbitrators must be argus eyed to get along and must often size up a situation solely upon his intuition and previous experience as player and official. He says 1t is of prime importance to have a complete knowledge of the rules, as the umpire's field ruling often decides an import ant game. While admitting that much occurs in every football game that es- capes the notice of the umpire, in spite of the latter's vigilance and close at tentlon to the progress of the game.

Cram Will Be Able to Pitch.

No more cheerful Christmas news could be given to the baseball enthus- lasts in Brown university than the announcement that Ralph Cram is re- covering nicely from an operation on his pitching arm. Cram was a star pitcher for Melrose high, before going to Brown, and not only was he one of the best pitchers ever developed in the Suburban league, but he was good enough to attract the attention of Ma tional and American league scouts, so that he received some flattering offers to join the professional ranks. He de- cided to remain an amateur and great things were predicted for him in the college ranks until he had trouble with his arm so serious that the news went forth he probably was done for as a pitcher. He went to the hospital, had a most successful operation and is now home in Melrose for the holidays, feel ing fine and confident that his arm will be as good as ever.

LYNCH'S GIANT LIMP.
Bill Guthrie Measures Six Feet Two
 and Is a Tough Guy.

Ball tossers who live to bait um- pires just breaking into the big show will probably think twice before they tackle Bill Guthrie, the National leagues newest arbiter. Guthrie is giant physically. He stands six feet, two inches in his socks, and in the parlance of the street lis tough guy.' He halls from the stockyard district of Chicago, being a neiGhbor of Packey Mcfarland.
 Guthrie, who IS a protege of Brick Owens. also of Lynchs staff. started to umpire in the semi-pro leagues of Chicago six or seven years ago. His first professional engagement was with the Wisconsin-lllin league, where he umpired two seasons. He went from there to the American association, but was not quite ripe enough for the minor major, and the next season found him in the Texas league. Ills work in the Lone Star organization was excellent, so excellent in fact that he was offered a contract by Tom Lynch this fall and he lost no time in putting his name at the bottom of it.

A Mutual Need.

"The people of the State of Ari- zona peed the railroads and the railroads need the people, and more people," is the expression of George E. Sligh, United States Commissioner at San Simon, few days ago. MT. Sligh was speaking of the bills that will come before the voters of this State on November 9th.
 q would decry, at this time," he said, "any legislative act that could in measure retard or cripple the railway development of the new State of Arizona. The man who is so short-sighted, as to wish to handicap the railways for small personal gain. is doing the country an injury as whole"
 H. A. Morgan, President of the Norton Morgan Commercial Com pany of Wilcox, in referring to the same bills, gives it as his opinion that these measures are ill-advised. Asked for an expression of his views, MT. Morgan said
 "I believe that we should CO., operate with the railroads and en- courage them at this time of ac. quiring statehood, to branch out and build and develop the mining and agricultural interests of our new state, which can only be done by dealing literally with them and not by adverse legislation"
 The sentiment among the think ing people of Arizona is very strongly against these radical railway measures. Many of the most prominent men in the state men who want to see Arizona in the place it should be among the states of the Union-are steadfast in their belief that the bills should be voted down and Arizona given the chance to grow that is rightly hers.
 We seriously doubt that we have reached such a stage in our development as would justify such a heavy reduction in the revenues of the railroads, proposed in the measures to be voted on at the coming election" is the opinion of the Stafford Hay x Grain Company. "The universal demand is for rail- road extension and construction for improvement of service, and , any measures tending to defeat such demand, should be regarded with disfavor."

A Reminder to the Women.

The present campaign for Equal Suffrage has been comparatively short, less than four months having elapsed since the filing of the peti- tion. Thus it has happened that the women of the state, as whole, have not been called upon to render active service in the cause.
 We know, of course, that men and women throughout the state feel deep interest in this cam paign and the success of the Amendment on November 9th. But now, with election less than two weeks in the future, we feel that something more than gen. eral interest is demanded by the question of Equal Suffrage. The vital need of the hour-and of every hour from now until the closing of the polls on the 5th of November-is earnest, consistent, individual effort on the part of every friend of the Amendment.
 The men of the state, in general, are looking with more favor upon this proposition of Votes for Women than ever before. There fore it is not only fitting but i'm perative that the women manifest the greatest active interest possible, in order that the men may know that we want the ballot,
 We know many men who say that they would willingly vote for the Amendment if only the women of their households and their women friends would ask them to- Obviously then, the thing to do Is to ask.
 Those actively in charge of the work at Headquarters in Phoenix have done everything possible to cover the field in a general way, by sending as many speakers as have been available to the places which seemed to have the greatest need We had hoped to reach every town in the state, but lack of speakers has made this impossible. Hence this appeal to the women, individu ally, and collectively, to work m tiringly for the Amendment during the remaining days of the cam paign.
 Those desiring literature for dis tribution, should apply to Mrs Alice Park, Hotel Adams, Phoenix
 Next in importance to securing votes for the Amendment, is tn, matter of funds, which are needed to carry this work to a successful termination. It should be a matte of pride to the people of Arizona t meet the expenses of this campaig' without outside help. And so w are giving them the opportunit, to do so by asking every one t respond as generously as possibl to this call for financial aid.
 Again we urge every friend c
