Dullest Day on Change for Quarter oi
 Century.

New York. Nov. 24-Trading all but ceased today on the stock exchange. It is necessary to go back quarter Of a century to ind 8 duller market than todays. Most of the time the ticker was silent. Not one of the fayor1te stocks moved up or down as much as q point When the five dreary hours of trading had come to an end it was found that the total business was only 57,300 shares. Brokers with nothing else to do went back into musty rec ords to find q cay as dull and learned that there had not been one since the blizzard of 1888, when trading on the exchange was practically stopped. On March F of that year the total was 15.S05
 The best that could be said of to- days market was that the undertone was firm. At the start there was some irregularity, with evidence of renewed heaviness among the metal stocks, but the small early losses were soon recov- cred and in most cases the leaders made fractional advances.
 Holders of long stock derived some encouragement from the markets firm ness in the face of dtscouraging news. A good deal of emphasis was placed on the fortnightly report of railroad traffic, which showed large increase in freight cars. The significant fea- ture was a surplus of nearly S,GO0 box cars as compared with a shortage of over 5000 in the last report. which was thought to indicate enthusiastically 8 slump in railroad traffic.
 News from the steel and copper trade was of much the same pesstmisttc nature as that of recentyweeks, re1at- ing to falling prices and slow busi- ness. It was reported that some sales of copper had been made at IA 34 cents.
 Stagnation in the stock market was reflected in a falling off in demands for money There was an easier tone in the call money market, and com mercial paper rates were lower. The gold movement to Canada was contin- ued and the necessary preparation for December interest and dividend pay ments may affect leaning rates tempo rarily. but the outlook is for easy money.
 Bonds developed an easier tendency. Total sales, par value, $S15,0

THREATEN BASEBALL WAR.
Organized Club May Start Campaign
 Against the FederaIs.

There is rumor af1Oat that organ ized baseball is going on the trail of the Federal league and it's invasion of protected territory. The method to be pursued will be the formation of a new circuit, made up of the cities in which the outlaws plan to place clubs.
 This is an expedient which has been talked of before to frighten off in yaders Shaking this club has always been sufficient to deter the opposition and the owners are now brandishing the weapon furiously. The organiza- ton of the Federal league has pro- gressed rapidly enough to be a men ace to the protected interests.
 The big war fund which has been laid up by the national commission for just such contingencies will be drawn upon to finance the attack Year after year the commission has drawn down big sums in the worlds series until there is quite a tidy nest egg available for battle.
 By the use of this money clubs can be placed in Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Columbus Indianapolis, Detroit, Cleveland, Milwaukee and Chicago. A it will not conflict with the games of the National or American leagues or the American association, except in Chicago, where two teams already are playing.
 Not so much care will be taken in arranging attractions which will con f1ict with the Federal league games George Tebeau, one of the owners of the Kansas City club of the American association, is said to be the man who has planned the new circuit

PHILADELP LPHIA'S HEAVY HITTING
Places Club in First Place in Official American League Records -Boston Comes in Second-Cobb Leads Individual Bat ters-Baker Retains Home Run Title.

Ty Cobb took the individual batting honors in the American league again during the 1918 season with an aver age of .390, seventeen points ahead of his nearest rival, Joe Jackson, the terrific Slugger of the Cleveland team who pressed the Georgia Peach hard all through the league pennant racce. Henriksen of Boston appears second in the official list with two points bet ter than Jackson, but his services were as pinch hitter and he hit the pill but about once for every 1S times Joe caught the elusive horSeh1de on the nose. Frank Bakers big stick lived up to it's home run reputation, being credited with a dozen slams good for the circuit. Captain Danny Murphy of the Athletics appeared in the lime light principally as a pinch hitter, taking part in 40 games and coming through in tenth place with an aver age of 1922.
 It was the efficient stickwork of the Athletics which won them the league pennant and the worlds cham pionshtp and the team finished the season 16 points above it's nearest rival in hitting, the Red Sox The Athletics scored the most runs, made the most hits, the most earned runs, the most two base hits and the most home runs of any team in the league. The Sen atorS led the league in pilfered sacks but the Athletics were second in this department. The White Sox lived up to the title of ''hitless wonders" at least as far as hitting went, finishing the season with the least hits of any team in the league. The fact that they were credited with the least num- Der of stolen bases and also the least of runs puts them out of the class of the "hitless wonders of other days The official standing of the clubs and of the 25O hitters follows:

ents held their breath, but the attack was not sustained and the ground thus gained was soon lost again. It may be said in extenuation of Yale that in Jur1es and other reversals have seri-- ously handicapped her seasons play Cold analysis however, fails to show the time Yale football strategy and definite idea of attack and defense that made the Blue elevens so feared a. few years back. Apparently much the same conditions exist in the Yale football situation at New Haven as was evil denced in rowing at New London last June. At present there can be no comparison with the business-l like and effective methods in vogue at Cam bridge.
 Array and Navy Teams.
 Next in importance to the Yale Harvard game was the play of the Army and Navy teams, which meet in this city next Saturday for their an- nual championship contest. The Navy had New York university as opponents and the Army finished it's preliminary season by facing the Springfield Y. M c. A. training school team. Both the academy teams won. but little in the way of useful information bearing on the outcome of the big game at the Polo grounds is available as a result. The New York university team proved so weak in comparison to the sailors for comparative purposes. The sol diers. however, found Springfield fast playing, strong combination, as was expected, but the Army victory, 14 to ', indicates nothing beyond the fact that the cadets must be reckoned a real factor in the battle on Nov. %.
 The real surprise of the day came in a minor college game. Syracuse, al- though defeated by Carlisle, ran up the largest score of the season against the Indians. To lose by a score of B to 27 against Carlisle in a game where victory was in doubt until the last moment leaves little ground for self condemnation.

WHITE HOPES JOKES
SAYS DAN MKT TRICK

In the sporting columns of the
Ft. Worth Daily Record, Dan Nc
Kittrick has the following to say
of the white hopes"
There is nothing quite so lack
ing in merit and so overplayed in
any line of sport today as the
heavyweight division of the fight
game.
"White hopes" they call them.
Individually and collectively they
shoulder about as much hope for
conquering the black leaders of
their division as Paul Sikora.
The phrase, applied to likely
looking white heavyweights soon
after johnson gained full claim to
his title by conquering Jim Jeffries
at Reno, has served but one pur-
pose, and that had its beginning
and end with the fight promoters.
Its beginning existed in press
tales and its end in gate receipts.
The promoter has fattened his
bank account and the so-called
white hopes" shared in the spoils.
The public plays the goat part of
the farce.
The use of the white hope ends
with bunking the public. Carl
Morris. Frank Moran and Gun
boat Smith are the acknowledged
leaders of the class. The speed of
any member of this trio, as com
pared with Jack johnson. is like
the speed of genuine plowhorse
compared to that of a thorough
bred. OF all the awkward lemons
that have been thrust into the ring
these white hopes certainly are

blue ribbon performers. A long
shoreman, that is, the average
longshoreman, knows more about
fighting in IA minute than the ma
jority of white hopes know in a
day.
The recent bout between Smith
and Morris at Madison Square
garden was one of the funniest
things we ever witnessed. John
son could hit either of these giant
fighters six blows between the time
they completed a punch and the
time they got up their guard.
Moran, the other white leader is

Mckittrick, his manager, forgot
himself for a moment and turned
loose this confession:
None of these white hopes has
had any chance agrinst johnson.
l have handeled enough of them
to know. Moran, Smith, Morris
and the whole lot of them are
jokes. Not one of them know
how to fight
And Dan McKittrick spoke the
truth. AS money getters they are

ers they are minus zero.
The Colorado statesman., 1913-11-01

The coal miners strike in Col
orado which has been on for sew
eral weeks has reached crisis and
as a result several strikers and
guards have lost their lives in the
past fortnight.
Strikes of any nature are det.
riment to the state in which it oc-
ours, it not only hampers business
but works hardships to the poor
class of people. Since the strike
of the coal miners, coal has ad-
vanced at least twenty five per
cent. while hundreds of others be-
sides the strikers have been
thrown out of work caused by the
closing down of smelters and var
ious other lines of business. The
loss to the strikers alone who make
from three to six dollars per day
has run up to several hundred
thousand dollars, while the opera
tors have suffered likewise. There
is no tangable reason for a strike
at this time; in fact, the strikers
themselves were forced against
their wishes by the walking dele
gates and organizers to walk out.
There is nothing gained in strikes
only for the officers who draw big
salaries at the expense of the la
boring class, and whom it is said
during the strike generally reap a
double harvest from some source.
Another bad feature of the situa-
ton is that they will not allow op-
ators to import men to take their
places, or in other words the men
so imported are not allowed to go
to work. 1t is case of 81 wont
and you shall not"
The governor has at last ordered
the state militia at the seat of dis
turbance and it is hoped that no
distant day will find things in nor
NAL conditions and thus lift bur-
den of hardships from suffering
public.
The strikers. most of whom are
foreigners, has neither regard for
life or property and no crime is too
henious for them to undertake.
This class of people is in the cata-
CORY of the undesirable and should
have no welcome berth in Ameri-
can citizenship, and the sooner
those who hire such labor wake
up to this fact the better it will be
for them and the public at large.
