MONEY AGAIN

Conservatism in Speculation
Urged Pending Liberty
Loan Outcome.

New York, Sept. 27.-The same
considerations which recently tended
to restrict stock market operations
for the long account were again IN
force today. Money was the controll-
ing factor around which most other
conditions revolyed, call loans iodine

until the final hour, when a fraction
al drop was reported. There vas also
a further paucity Of time funds.
In the financial district there Is ia
fast growing impression h a conser-
vative banking interests have regis
tered their earnest opposition to y
travagant speculation; pending the
outcome OF the next Liberty Loan.
The money market is expected toare:-
fleet this attitude.
Trading was dull, except at irregu-
lar intervals, when the professional
element sought to effect further i'm
pairment of quoted values. In this
they were more or less successful UNI
til the final hour, when short cover
ing, notably in steels and affiliated in
dustrials. resulted in an irregular rail-
ly and a firm close.

tween 100 3-8 and III, its final quo

stock later made slight recovery. II
Shippings were again inclined to
move upward, but were held in check
by the heavy trend in other quarters.

scoring machine? Look at my record
against them! I won q game from
them in our last series; that's all this
year. It's beyond me to explain why
they've bumped me so hard.
When McCarty is catching and
Sallee pitching, you have to face nine
men, anyone of whom might break up
the old ball game with g. long drive.
1--WE heard it said that the Giants
throw away chances to score by play
ing the h~it-and-run for a flock Of
runs. That's not so. The Giants can
sacrifice as we'll as ~hit-and-run and I
look for them to continually mix 'em
up against the White Sox. New York
is the greatest one-inning scoring
team I yer faced.
$50 much for the offensive of the
Giants. Now the pitching. There are
two men in the Chicago line-up whose

fenced the biggest danger has been
removed. F'erdie Schupp, the brilliant
left-hander, might shine against Chi
cago, but l favor Slim Sallee.
"It wouldn't surprise me to see Nc
Graw shoot lefthanders, Schupp and
Sallee, at the White Sox in the first
two games. Either could come back
after a short rest, but it wouldn't be
absolutely necessary for there Is Per-
rift, a right-hander. who will give the
Sox a lot of trouble.
IT have been hearing a lot about
Cicotte's shine ball. He might not
have such a thing; it might just be
a feeler. Anyhow, if he has a shine
ball working he certainly will have to
be at his very best to pitch it past
that h%ard-hitting club.
1.-THE Giants are not a ball club
that might be considered a mark for
lefthand pitching. They have a batting
order we'll balanced with both types
of hitters, a strong infeld with Fletch-
er and Herzog, a great combination
around second, a pitching staff espe-
cially strong in lefthanders, good
catchers and a smart outfield. There
had been some talk Of Herzog being
sick. I look for him to play an i'm

II do not expect the Giants to have
a walk-over, but they have all three
things necessary to win, hitting, pitch
ing and fielding, with cool heads I'M

Walter Johnson. the brilliant pitch
er of the Washington club, is undoubt-
edly one of the hardest men to inter-

always backward about expressing an
opinion of other players for fear of
hurting someone's feelings.
Walter was caught off his guard last
week in a conversation at the Wash

dreaming he was talking for publica-

the coming world series can be taken

into Shippensburg one hot summer
afternoon after long tramp over the
country, and found home at the
stables of the Sherman House. Here
he became one of the best watch dogs
at night, though an amiable compan-
ion by day, and has been taught to be
or considerable use to his master.

formed him from tramp into a USE

is the banking Mr.. McGaw places the

away. He can open the front door of

bank book into the receiving teller's
window. After entries are made the
