STAR TEAMS WILL
LINE UP ON ALLEYS
Commercial and Capital City
Picked Duckpin Clubs Roll
Tomorrow.

Another novel duckDin competition
has been arranged for the benefit of
the alley fans who delight in seeing
two teams of various sections of the
city get together on the maplewood
thoroughfare The latest match has
been made between the All-Stars OF the
Commercial Alley League and the All
stars of the Capital city circuit. There
has been no little amount of friendly
"joshing' between the members OF
these two leagues, and 1t seems that
the only way to put stop to the mat
ter is to place the best men in each
league against cath other in duckpin
competition.
Ten games will be rolled to decide
which is the superior team. The first
five OF these will be staged at the
Commercial alleys tomorrow night. and
the last block Of five games are to be
rolled at the Charles Hotel alleys at a
date to be announced later. Total pins
will count.
Here is the manner in which the
teams will line up:

AMERICANS WANT SOUTH AFRICAN GOLD.

The extra hazard to shipping caused by the war has caused the suspension of the shipment of gold from south Africa to Great Britain and N is estimated now that there is more than S2o0oOoooo of surplus gold in banks in that country or this about Sl6ooooOoo is the property of the Bank of England The Bank Of Eneland's South African accumulation in gold is said to be gaining at the rate of S4oOoOOO month It is now being figured by New York bankers that considerable amount of this gold must be shipped to the United States They believe that there will be dminution of he shipment American securities from Great Britain to the United States for while at least as soon as the transactions incident Co the recent Brit ish loan shall have closed The unusual shipments at this time are part due to he fact that the people have been responding to the British governments urg ing that British holders of American securities ex- change them for government bonds The government has sent these securities the United States to be sold that the proceeds might bepaced to British credit i'm American banks. The war orders that have been placed in the United States and the large purchases that must soon be made from the 1915 farm crop in this country win make demand for many hundreds of millions of credit on this side of the Atlantic It is likely to grow much faster than the sale of American securities will increase This means that large bal ances must be settled n gold and it is believed that the surplus gold in South Africa. which is owned in London will be shipped to this to meet the demand.
 It is now estimated that arrangement by England and France for payment is the only thng-tha will prevent the balance of trade in favor of the United States from running into far greater figures in the near future than it has yet reached It has been esti mated that the war orders that have been placed in this country upon which payments have been made already exceed one billion dollars It is known that as many orders as be financed are ready to come here It is this condition that has caused American bankers to suggest that gold be sent to the United States from the South African surplus and New Yor bankers believe that the suggestion will be acted upon
