learned more about baseball this season
than the average player does in three
years.
If we go through and win this
pennant It will be because Of the team
work; Stallings has taugh US the team
work. OF course we make blunders, but
we do not make them often. The next
time every man knows just what the
other is going to do. and we play 1t
that way.
We have not been lucky. In fact. the
luck of the game has been as often
against us as for US. OF our last four
defeats, three were sheer tough luck Of
having line drives turned into double
plays by unexpected catches.
The thing that makes me most hope
full Is that the fellows are not over
confident and neither are they worry
ing. They are playing the game one
at a time, and thinking only OF the
next one. There is less nervousness
and stage fright in the team than there
was in the Cubs after we had won three
pennants.

The mills of this state have been rum

According to freight officials of the

ARGUE BIG CASE
M. X. & T. Sues for VALUABLE
Oklahoma Land.
Wants Sixty Million From
Government ON Contract.

Washington, Oct. N.-Sixty million
dollars was the stake for which attor-
neys contended today before the SUI
preme court when the suit of the Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Texas Railway COM
pany against the government was up
for oral argument.
The railway contends the govern
ment has broken it's contract to grant
to it or its predecessor, title to every
other section of land through the
former Indian territory for the con-
struction of railway from the Kansas
state line to the Red river in Texas.
Because the land was not granted to
it, the railway claims $40 damages for
every acre of land it would have re-
ceived or over sixty million dollars.
Not Public Land.
The governments contention Is thai
the land never became a part of the
public lands of the United States with
in the meaning of acts of congress
holding out the land grant to the rail-
way constructing the road across the
territory but has remained Indian
land. The court of claims decided in
favor of the government and the rail-
way appealed to the supreme court.
Joseph M. Bryson and III. s. Priest o.
st. Louis came to Washington to argue
for the railway and Solicitor Genera
Davis and Assistant Attorney Genera
Thompson prepared the case for the
government.

this country and the good II has sf-
fected abroad
THE local money situation contin-
ues to improve. Bank reserves are
steadily rising. and the big deficit
which existed some weeks ago has
practically disappeared. Bankers.
though discriminating closely. are
more liberal in the granting of credit
Foreign exchange is decidedly easier
and the offerings Of commercial bills
are increasing. Sterling cable trans
fers are down to ASK and cables on
Berlin are even quoted at 81. Further
relief in the financial situation will be
afforded when the federal reserve In
situations are opened. the indications
now being that the latter's operations
will begin on or about December !.
Further evidence OF Improvement in
the financial situation is found in the
retirement of clearing house certin-
Gates. Our foreign trade is gradually
returning to more normal proportions
Increased exports Of cotton and wheat
are within sight, and any other losses
in the outward movement promise to
soon be made good by the increased
demand for American manufactures
and for war materials which has come
to US as a result of the European war.
"There is one other CLEAN of en-
couragement, and that is the rehear-
ing of the railroad case. Concerning
this there is nothing new to be said;
yet under the present extraordinary
situation, and in view OF the great
strain upon railroad credit, 1t is In
conceivable that the unfriendiy attf-
tude of the interstate commerce COM
mission towards the railroads will be
indefinitely continued. Home trade
is still very unsatisfactory. the gen.
eral tendency Of the public to econ
omize 1essening the demand for many
products, while the restrictions placed
upon credit have of course much en-
barrassed new enterprise. The steel
trade is much depressed and running
below so per cent Of capacity; largely
because of inability of the railroads to
buy supplies: partly owing. however,
to the general lack of confidence. The
textile industry is also much unsettled
by the cotton situation and recent
financial arrangements. As these dis
appear. improvement should follow.
The present is a time for prudent ac-
ton. Nevertheless. there are many
reasons for taking hopeful views OF
the future and keeping in mind the
fact that the acute stage of the crisis
has been passed and that We are now
fairly started on the movement to-
ward readjustment and reconstruc-
ton. There will be a big acreage OF
winter wheat which at good prospec-
tive prices promises another year OF
prosperity for wheat growers.
