FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
TRADING AT sTANDsTILL. Operations Marked by Extreme Dull
 ness and IrreauIarity.

New York, Nov. 4-Extreme dull ness and irregularity marked the course of operations on the stock ex- change today.
 For the greater part of the session trading was almost at a standstill. Some stocks, notably St. Paul and the Hill issues, were moderately strong at the outset, while most other leaders, railways and industr1als, were heavy, when not absolutely weak. Certain of the specialties, such as American Beet Sugar, American Sugar and American Woolen, whose affairs are largely de- pendent upon the tariff, recorded se- we're losses, which were partly regain ed before the close. American Can and the Tobacco group, as well as some of the minor stocks, reflected varying degrees of pressure
 In the final hour, when call money, which had opened at ' per cent, fell to and later to 1-2 ~nr cent, the entire list moved forward, until most losses were more than recovered Lehigh Valley, St. Paul, Union Pacifi-
 and Steel led the rise, while Great
 Northern and Northern Pacific added
 to early gains, and Amalgamated, whict had been among the heaviest of the leaders, also recovered. There was some shading toward the close, but the undertone continued firm.
 Canadian Pacific was weakest of the Americans in London, where the mar ket was inclined to sag over renewed complications in the Balkan situation
 Paris prices were irregular, and Der. lin's bourse was weak, with marked declines in local favorites While call money eased appreciably time loans hardened, per cent beina bid for the lower maturities. All indi cations point to a flrmer tendency fol the balance of the year.

WoLeAsT AND MANDoT DRAW.
New Orleans Lad Gives Champion Hard Go for TitIe-Both Men Se- vereIy Punished.

Pelican Arena, New Orleans, Nov. 4. Lightweight Champion Ad Wolgast and Joe Mandot of New Orleans di- vided honors in a ten-round no-decis- ion bout here tonight. Both took a lot of punishment but at the end neither had the advantage, according to a decision of newspaper men. AL though Mandot was accerdited win having the better of four of ten rounds and Wolgast with one, while the others were even. the champions inf1ghting and early aggressiveness won for him the unofficial draw decision.
 Wolgast lost no time early in the fight feeling out his new opponent but went at him hammer and tongS. He seemed to try for a knockout in the first round. Mandot stopped the rushes and soon began fighting the champion in his own way.
 Wolgast clearly had the advantage in the infghting. Mandot at times ap- bearing absolutely unable to fathom the champions machine like jabs at close quarters. Mandot played for the face and had Wolgast's nose bleeding early in the fight. Wolgast resorted principally to body blows. The at tendance was about 7,50O and the re- ceipts $26, 900.

Since the stallions The Harvester, POI, Billy Burk. 2.03 3-4, and Colorado E., 3, 2.04 3-4. failed to touch the two minute mark trotting the past season, some horsemen of good judgment are suggesting that Baldy McGregor 3, 2.06 3-4, may prove to be the first trotting stallion to take a record of two minutes. This don't look like a bad guess, considering Baldy McGregor's, 3. 2.06 3-4, inheritance and the manner in which he has performed as three year old.

Instead of sliding. he walked into the
catcher and allowed himself to be tag
ged out.
"Why didn't you hit the dirt?' de-
manded Manager McAleer when Della
hanty returned to the bench.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, Feb. &.-Ger-
many Schaefer, of the Washington
team of the American League, is the
hero of this town today and already
many of the players in his league pre-
dict that he will give Ty Cobb and Joe
Jackson hot fight Tor the batting pre-
miership of the major leagues this
year. In the game between the two
picked teams at Wilmington Park yes
terday, Schaefer's team won by score
of to and the Dutchman himself
belted out a single, double, and triple.
Schaefer owns Hot Springs now.
George Mullin, the Tigers veteran
hurler, showed that he will be ready
to start the regular campaign in pretty
good form, his performances on the
mound for the All-Nationals, Schaefers
team, were good enough to keep the
An-Americans at bay until Tonneman
and Cy Seymour could get their artil-
lery into action and break up the 3-to-3
tie.
Seymour, who is trying to get another
trial in the big league with Bad BIZ
Dahlen, manager CT the Brooklyn Ma
tonal League club, was there with the
classy stuff in the garden. He leaped
into the air twice and prevented line
drives from the sticks of Erwin and
Riggs from going to the fence for
triples. converting them into easy outs.
At the bat Seymour stung the leather
for two clean singles.
Germany S"hdefer enjoyed the game
from right field, sitting there on chair
until the one fly hit in his direction
came out to him. He caught this and
resumed his seat This right field job
is the greatest ever" said Schaefer to
some friends. They wanted him to take
a seat in their automobile, but the
comedian insisted on staying down on
the ground.
Jake Stahl, the new manager of the
Boston Red SoX, is here, but not in con-
dition to get into the practice games.
Already Schaefer has obtained Jake,s
promise to perform for the ALL
Nationals in place of Bill CarriEan or
Bill Donovan un that first corner.
Oscar Stanage, the smuggling back
stop Of the Detroit Tigers, is here and
taking light work. He is in almost
perfect condition now and may jump
into the game any day. His nands are
bit sof:, but outside of that he is all

MIKE DONL|N NAMED
POSSIBLE CAPTAIN
FOR PIRATE OUTFIT
Pittsburgh Fans Think For
mer Giant Would Be
Success.

Pittsburgh baseball bugs are working
overtime appointing captains for the Pi-
rates, and while Tommy Leach and
Hans Wagner have been even money
favOrites all along, a new candidate
has suddenly entered the field This
is Mike DOnlin. who was secured the
other day from Boston in exchange for
Vim Campbell.
They would like to know just who is
to be Clarke's field officer. At the same
time, the captain of the Pirates is little
more than a figurehead. He calls out
certain plays, and other players do the
same thing when they happen to be
nearer to the ball. The most important
duty of the held captain in Pittsburgh
Is probably to frOwn and strut up to
the umpire when that official uncorks
ragged decision.
