Silver coins. including the peso. the bullion in which Is now worth 3l,16. are being quoted by Chi nese merchants at ten per cent ad vance. Meanwhile the government Is considering measures to cope with the situation which is regarded as ser ious menace to the commercial pros-

NEW YORK, Oct. al have never
felt like taking any credit for anything
my ball club has done this year"
That was about the first thing and
was unquestionsbly the most import.
ant thing that Clarence Rowland, man
ager OF the American League cham.
pions, told me when interviewed him
today. 1t was particularly unusual,
because ball players, managers and
all, as a general rule, do not seek TO
hide their lights under a bushel. II
was important because it shows the
spirit that has made the White Sox
the class Of their league this year.
Rowland desires TO take no credit
from any member OF his team. His
ball players appreciate this, and nat.
urally he is getting the best results
from them.
Ball players are just like anybody
else in the world" Rowland said. The
trouble with a lot OF fellows is that
they do not consider each individual
separately and do not try TO handle
their individual characteristics as
such.
