STOCK MARKET
CLOSES HEAVY
BY Associated Presa.

New York, Sept. 1.-THE only notable
exception to the rising tendency of the
stock market at the opening tolay was
Canadian Pacific, which declined a
point. The strongest feature was Har-
~ter, advancing over a point, with
material fractional gains in Amalga-
mated, the Canadian issues, Union
Pacific and Missouri Pacific.
Speculation came to halt after SMALL
additions had been made to the initial
gains in the important stocks, and the
market later eased Off
Local monetary conditions were the
all-important factor in today's market.
Call money opened at the highest rate
of the present movement and some loans
at 4 IL per cent were reported before
noon. The list at first inclined to move
forward, but the small volume of bust
ness soon caused general recessions.
Some high priced specialties were again
to the fore. but their rise failed to excite
interest elsewhere.
Bonds were easy.
Pressure against the coalers depressed
Reading nearly 2 points below yester-
days close and the whole market was
adversely affected by a rise In money
to IL per cent.
Increasing weakness was shown with
the progress of the day, particularly in
representative railroad stocks.
The market closed heavy. Declines of
between l and 2 points were general
Coppers and Steel were especially weak.

CPORT @
ShotA
BY DAN MccARTY.

The Central League will not be a
twelve-club circuit next year. That
much has been determined up0a, and
the big question now Is which cities
will compose the membership of eight.
GAINESVILLE is out of it already, and
Canton is doubtful. If the eastern
cities of Youngstown, Erie, Springfield
and Wheeling take the lead in forming
a compact circuit for their section of
the territory. Terra Haute and per-
haps South Bend and Grand Rapids
will drop out.
Heinie Zimmerman, of Chicago, still
has a big lead over his nearest COM
petitor for batting honors in the Ma
tional league. Zim has an average of
$50; Sweeney of Boston, who is the
next best hitter in the league, has a
batting average of $50.
There are no such sluggers in the
National league as there are in the
American. Just look at Ty Cobb; he
has a batting average of .413. iris
Speaker has second honors with a per-
centage of 1874. Joe Jackson Of Cleve-
land has a batting average of .374,
which is almost as good as the Ma
tional leagues best.
Speaking of batting averages, Jim
Delehanty of the Minneapolis team in
the American Association has every
body beaten. His percentage to date
is .438 However, Delehanty's record
should not be taken too seriously, as
he has only played in 19 games.
Pifchar Richia of the chica 60 C1lhs
is now few points ahead of Rule
Marquard in the pitchers records.
Marquard went mighty strong for a
few weeks, but his pace has slackened
considera bly,. Cheney of Chicago and
Tesreau of New York are running neck
and neck for third place in the pitch

them the pepnant for the season.
The Whitnans won three games out
of four of the series 80 the fifth will

day seved UP, but in the fourth with
two down Buster" Brown dropped a
pop fy at first and started the ball
rolling and when things cleared I'D the
Whitmans had put four runs across
the plate.
The features of the game were Fa, :
rinas' fielding and Johnson's three bag

The game:
The Whitmans took the bat and
things looked bad for the Euerst and
Kraemers from the start Mcdowell
first up went out, second to first.
Wells and Olsen got hits by the ball
taking bad bound off the shortstop's
head, Wells arriving at third and Of
sen on second with one down. Bell

at the plate by some fast fielding.
Barrow went out by flying out to the
pitcher.
In the second Sechinger led 1off with
a two-bagger, Lurton hit to pitcher,
who caught Sechinger at third John
son forced Lurton at second and Or
tell went out, second to first. In the
fourth with two down and a man on
third, Lurton hit a pop-up to first,
who made a bad mess of ii and al
lowed Barrow to score. Johnson came
up with three Dagger scoring Lur-
ton. Then Ortell popped a little one
over second scoring Johnson. Ortell
stole second, the throw hitting him
and he kept on to third, who lost the
throw at that bag, allowing the runner
to score the needed run. For the fifth
it was three up and three down.
For the Fuerst and Kraemers there
was nothing doing in the first, but in
the second, c. Hoffman led off with
a hit, Smith went out, pitcher to first,
G. Hoffman taking second on the
play. White came up with short
single and. c. Hoffman scored. Gordon
hit and White took third on the play.
E. Hoffman hit to short and was re-
tired at first. White scored on the
play when Olsen again lost the throw
at the plate. Lewis hit but Gibson
fed out to left field. In the fourth
Gordon lost chance to score by some
poor base running behind him. In the
fifth it was three up and three down.

BREAK UP SMUGGLING
RING IN SAN FRANCISCO

san Francisco, Sept. 11.-Louis Fat,
proprietor of a Chinatown bazaar, and
two of his assistants, All Yet and
Cbinn Man, are under arrest here to-
day and local federal officials say that
an active smuggling ring between the
Trn;ted states and Mexico has been
broken I'D. Hundreds of Chinese, they
estimate, have been brought into this
country by the ring.
Suspicion fell upon Louis Fat months
ago after an effort to land launch
load of Chinese on the shore of Mon
terey bay had been frustrated. Gov
eminent officials, acting as man snug
slers. dickered with him for months
and finally received a contract to pay
$3.50 for each smuggled Chinaman.
The arrests followed.

Says Bulletin.

Madison.-About one-half of the
counties of the state already have
taken advantage of the law passed
by the last legislature which enables
county boards of supervisors to adopt
the cash system of paying highway
taxes. At recent county board meet
ings affirmative action on this propo-
sition, according to the state high
way commission, was taken by the
following counties:
Ashland, Barron, Buffalo, Chippe-
wa, Columbia, Dane, Douglas, Eau
Claire, Florence, Grant, Green, Green
Lake, Juneau, Kenosha, Lafayette,
Lincoln, Marinette, Pierce, Portage,
Price, Racine, Rock, Richland, Wau-
paca, Vernon, Trempealeau, Wal
worth, Waukesha, Waushara and
Winnebago.
In a bulletin on the cash system
just issued by the commission it is
pointed out that the old system of
working out the road taxes proves
inefficient.

A NEW DIPHTHERlA SERUM
State Laboratory Proposes to Pre-
vent Spread of the Disease
by Convalescents.

Madlson.-The newly discovered
method of preventing the spread of
diphtheria by persons convalescing
from the disease is being introduced
into Wisconsin by the hygienic lab
oratory of the University of Wiscon-
sin, which is about to furnish physi-
clans of the state the necessary germ
cultures, free of charge. The germ
frequently persists from thirty to fif-
ty days in persons apparently we'll,
and these persons, while not sick
themselves, can transmit the disease
to those with whom they come in
contact. Cases are on record where
the germ has been found for more
than a year after the person had re-
covered from diphtheria. These con-
valescent persons, together with
those who are known as "diphtheria
carriers" present serious problem
to the health officer. The uniform
success of the germ culture treatment
in the prevention of the spread of
diphtheria, since it's discovery two
years ago, led Dr. M. P. Ravenel of
the university hygienic laboratory to
decide to furnish the cultures TO ply
