With less thar two weeks of the

such shape that baseball enthusiasts
who wish to witness all the games OF
the coming world series are consult
ing timetables that show the train

writers of the sporting columns to
pitch the opening game for their re-

The Detroits cannot win the Amer
lean league pennant unless they win
all their remaining games. while the
Red Sox are dropping seven out Of
the ten they have to play. The mere
citation af these figures show how
slim is the probability of an upset
The PhilIies have only to capture three
OF the nine games left on their sched-
ule in order to place themselves in the
premier position at the seasons end
Their series with Boston and Brook

for the Academy in the opening game
Of the season on the campus Satur-
day afternoon, and when the dust
cleared away from the N. f. A. stan1-
pede of gaining first downs on single
PUSHES the red and white bearers had
rolled up 25 points to Windham's goose
egg. As the early football season is a
risky thing on which to base much
criticism, there is generally much in
terest in the first showing, and Satur-
days contest displayed that there are
all kinds Of chances for improvement
on both teams in interference and
speed.
The defensive work Of the upstate
boys was ragged and only once did
they force N. F. A. to punt, while their
attack lacked the punch and vim, al
though in the beginning of the second
half they showed signs of renewed
strength, which lasted only a few min
utes.
The Academy boys tore off large
gains in rapid succession, but they
lacked speed at the start. and there is
plenty of work ahead to develop this
asset of the game. The Academy new
ertheless must be given much credit
for their initial showing after having
only two days of scrimmage.
Coach Overbagh gave the subs a
chance to taste the blood OF gr1dlron

putting high spirits in n. f. AS camp.

High Class Railway Shares Were
Largely Dealt In.

New York, Sept 25.-Free absorption
Of investment shares, chiefly the high
class railways on the largest scale
witnessed in many weeks, was the dis
tinguishing feature of today's two hour
session in which transactions approx
mated 900, 900 shares, or on the basis
of 100000 shares for full day. Gains
in the railways were of a substantial
character, Pennsylvania, the most &C
tive stock of its class. advancing r3-4
to ia, while Canadian Pacific, the
Harrimans, New York Central and Bal
timorc and Ohio gained I and 2.
Inquiry for the railways seemed to
derive its chief impulse from banking
quarters, but commission houses with
western conn9cticn also reported an
increased demand from speculative
quarters recently conspicuous In the
sensational movement of the special
ties. The latter were not entirly neg
lected, Baldwin Locomotive gaining

Bethlehem Steel and a few other war
shares made slight improvements on
small dealings, but Bethlehem Steel
preS$rred declined 13 to ITO and some
of the less prominent industrials fell
away moderately. United States Steel
showed the continued effects Of eral-
.izing sales, but General Motors re-
tanned virtually all Of its six points
advanced to 345.
The bank statement furnished a gen
uine surprise in that the estimated
large cash gain proved to be an actual
loss Of almost $13. $1,000, reserves de-
creasing by over $22,000,o0o and re-
ducing the excess reserves from last
weeks unprecedented total of $780,
