EASIER CONDITION
 ALONG WALL STREET
No Guarantee of COntinu- ance-Selling Diminished
 Toward End of Week

New York September 22.-The stock market last week showed itself refractory to the restraint of the tight condition Of the money market Any relaxation in money saw a rallying tendency which be- came most pronounced at the week end session. The quick rebound in prices when pressure was removed was an indication that selling at the lower levels represent ed the necessities of sellers rather than appraisement of values. The selling di- unfinished to such an extent that uncov- cred shorts bid up prices on themselves in the effort to secure stocks.
 Various causes joined to relieve the im- mediate pressure on stock market borrow CTS without, however, insuring contnu- ance of the easier condition. Accounts deposit liabilities in New York being thus further reduced and the reserve require ments modified. A reassuring effect was produced by the steps taken by the treas ury department to inform itself of the desirability of relief by treasury deposits with the banks. The beginning of the gold import movement, the comparative eouanmity with which 1t was received abIOdd anu tHe IlOWHlR tue oI tle STdni harvests to market afforded assurance of source of relief for legitimate need Of money. tigl
 The corn crop advanced another stage toward safety from the hazard of frost and the promise of grain harvest of a billion bushels in excess of last year deceived new assurance Receipts of grain at primary points far in excess of pre- yious records showed the rush to make up completed supplies from last year s shortage The growing need of European countries for these supplies in the face of their own failing prospects helped in se- curing needed credit for our money mar lxet The August foreign trade statement made a new record by broad margin for both exports and imports, thus ex- p'ainiDg the high ocean freights now rul- ing. The cause of the record August ex- ports lies with manufactured products, and the iron trade reports that higher prices are being secured for steel abroad than at home for the first time since 1898. The domestic iron and steel market continued strong and active.
 Copper was well bought with some in- ducement caused by labor troubles in the Utah mines. Deterioration in cotton proved but small factor.

Auburn, September 22.-tSpecia1)- Auburn's second week of practice came to an end yesterday. The varsity squad is considerably weakened by the ab- sence of Cogdell, Allen, Bonner and Davis, and their positions left open has caused the coaches nights and days of worry as they are trying to find some one to fill these places. Coach Donahue has for an assistant I. R. Pray of Bos- ton, who has already shown himself to be master of the game and in handling new men. The game with Mont gomery on the campus Saturday Is looked forward to with much interest as Montgomery has always brought a good team along and all of Auburn's s new men are going to be tried out
 There are several new men who have come here with regulations as prep" school pigskin artists. but they do not seem to get along quite so well in college ball. Sparkman of Tampa, Fla. Franklin of Spring Hill college, Des- prez, DePland and Lindsey are show ing up well for new men and will make good in time. The old varsity men re- turned are Pitts, Newell. Major, Rear ley. Louisell, Arnold, Maxim, Robinson, wingo, Cogswell. Captain Major is in fine condition and Is working hard.

The American and National league mag mates and players who are doping out the worlds series results are siding with their respective leagues with remarkable regularity. In fact, the regularity is so marked that the question naturally pre- sents itself as to whether these dopists are really giving out their opinions, or whether they are trying to be patriotic by defending the contenders of their re- spectve associations.
 There is a probability that the play CTS In both leagues are loath to forget the results of the opinions voiced by Hughey Jennings relative to these contests last season. Hughey doped the Giants to win. and this doping has been thorn In the side of Hughey ever since. A va rious assortment of choice adJectives was immediately hurled at the Tiger leader by his critics, among which the words .traitorous" and ''ylndictive" appeared at frequent intervals. This was especially the case after the Athletics captured the series in a handy fashion. 1t was fig ured by many that the Detroit manager

BIG LEAGUE DOPISTS ARE
 REMARKABLY PATRIOTIC"

could not help but see that the Maclsmen would be winners, but that he took this meams of venting his wrath upon the lead CTS who beat his tribe for the American league pennant.
 Evidently none of the present dopists are intending to endanger themselves as Hughey did. It is far more agreeable to all concerned for them to pick their re- spective leaders as winners, and as the series is evidently going to be one of the hardest fought in the history of the game, 1t takes but little effort to overlook just enough of the opposite dope to allow such players to be patriotic.
 Of course, there is the possibility that these opinions are the real stuff, and that they are given In all sincerity. IL can be seen how the players who are picking the different contenders to win are not able to see and fully appreciate the ability. of the other leagues leaders. and that they can't see now an aggregation can down the bunch which has shown such wonderful class in their respective leagues This may be all true, but we can't help thinking how much easier it
 is for the player to dope his leaders for the championship when they think of the route poor Hughey has travelled since he gave out his "unpatriotc opinion.

Football Rules of 1912
 Are Practically Unchanged

the field. which the rule was intended to prevent. The rule, interpreted in this literal manner also prevents a man try ing to kick q ball as another player falls on it.
 Other interpretations laid down by MT. Camp were that the center cannot snap the ball to himself and run with it: that if a kicked ball hits an on-side man, then hits the goal post and bounds back, 1t is a free ball, and that d ball downed against goal post is not a touchdown.
 The rule which prevents guards, cen ters or tackles from dropping pack of the line on the offensive. unless for five yards or more did not mean. MT. Camp said, that on the defensive these men could not be replaced by halfbacks.
 '.The rule was intended to keep heavy men from being used back of the line on offensive play he said. but there is no reason why on the defensive a light halfback should not be put in the line in place of heavy man. if the captain wishes to do that"
 Dr. Jones A. Babbtt, of Haverford. chairman of the central board said he had held conference with the coaches prior to tho meeting

Pitts is working in his old po- sition at center and will play 1t through the season. Kearley, Robinson, Arnold and Maxim are trying for end posi- tions. They are good men and all of them will be used this year.

Hollingsworth, Culpepper. Esslinger, Lockwood. Hallmark, Little Rip Ma jor, Christopher and several more are among the more prominent scrubs on the field. Lock wood. Culpepper, Hol- lingsworth, Esslinger, Mylie and Thig- pen are about the best Auburn has in line material.

NO BIG LEAGUERS WILL TRAIN IN
 ATLANTA IN 1913

Atlanta, September 22-No big league team will train in Atlanta in the spring of 1913. This decision has been reached by Manager Smith after Clark Griffith of the Washington club decided to return to Charlottesville, where the team trained last spring.
 Billy believes that if the Atlanta team has the entire field to themselves during the practice season they can, with the aid of few exhibition games, accomplish much better results.

B. SMITH ASSUMES CONTROL

The outfield of the Crackers in 1913 may show this personnel: Bailey in right, Welchonce in center and Moran In left.

 Wechonce was drafted by New York. but was traded to Washington. Griffith may or may not use him. It all depends. But to those inside. the move was nlade ill the interest of the local club.
 This would give the Crackers as good an outfield as there is in the league. Moran will not hit much, but the other two can clout the pill and the three are fast and demons on the bases.

Bit of Satisfaction

Harris county now has over 400 miles of shelled roads, outside of the city limits of Houston. Every public road in the county has been. or soon will be. shelled, and many of the settlement roads. This represents an enormous expenditure of money, but the roads are practically in destructible and the taxpayers figure that the good roads will enhance the value of their property to such an extent that it will prove a good investment in the long run In addition, there is quite bit of satisfaction in being able to reach any part of the county without sticking Up in the black mud.
