Latch Needle. Held by Spectator.

Special Despatch 10 TUE SuS.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept 24.-Latch needles
are so scarce throughout the State that
manufacturers of knit goods are coming
to believe that they are in the hands of
spectators who are holding them for
higher prices. The time is recalled dur
ing the early days of the war when for
tunes were made similarly by specula-
tors who held dyes out OF the market.
1t is known that there are 100000
needles in Christiana, Norway. waiting
for a buyer, and the price OF $50 a thou
sand Is not considered excessive. But
the seller wants the money In advance
and purchasers don't care to take a
chance on the safe arrival OF the needles
in this country. 1t IL reported plans are
on foot to try to have the Government
buy the needles and sell them here
through agents

CREDIT AGENCIES
TOLIST DRAFYEES
Mercantile Investigators Will
Keep Clients Informed of
Business Mems Status.

Once upon a time there was an epoch
when a mans creditors didn't worry so
much about his age. But that was be-
fore the draft law went into effect. Now
It behooves them to ascertain his exact
status so as to be sure that he will
not be called into the army to chase the
Huns, and while so employed leave his
creditors far in the rear.
To avoid such contingencies some OF
the manufacturers OF women's dress
goods. notably the American Lady Waist
Company, have asked r. @. Dun & Co.
and tho Bradstreet Company TO get on
the trail of any youngish looking or
middle aged appearing clients they might
have and dig up the dates of their births.
To these requests Messrs. Dun and
Bradstreet have replied that hereafter
in their reports they not only will list
the financial standing of the ''investi-
gated" but also his family affiliations :
the volume OF business he has done in
the past, Is doing and Is likely to do in
the future besides which they will take
peek into the family Bible whenever
possible and ascertain the exact date
Of the first day on which his family dis
cussed whom he most resembled.

Boston Wins First Game of Worlds Series SPORTS
Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
By JAMES T. ooRBErr

1 Almost half century ago a world
 series was played that established a
 single game attendance record that all
 the years and combats since then have
 failed 10 shatter; a series that provoked
 lo times greater interest in the terms in volved than any that has been staged | since those dim days in baseball history. 1 Fifty thousand persons saw the Chicago l White Stockings fight it out with the Cincinnati Red Stockings in September. 1870, in the Dexter race track enclosure And that throng, greater than any that a
 modern world series has provoked, saw
 the home team stage rally in the ninth
 inning that ranks as the most sensa- tional in baseballs long career. z Through the season of 1869 the Cincin-
 natl team set the baseball world aflame
 by it's magnificent playing. It engaged in 57 games that year, won 56 and was
 tied but once. All the baseball world
 worshipped at the feet of the Red Stock
 ings-and Cincinnati, as a city, was gwen nationwide publicity due to the prowess of it's wonderful ball team i.
 Ana that made Chicago jealous. At
 that time Cincinnati and Chicago were 5iSol Soiiiii SICldl TlValS ana puDHC-Splr- lted citizens in each city waged a bitter battle for industrial supremacy Cincin- natl gained certain prestige by virtue of it's great ball club and Chicagoans decided to gather together a ball club | for the sole purpose of defeating the Cincinnati aggregation.
 Baseball hadn't been played to any ex- tent in Chicago up to that time and with | the exception of the men who made up I the RPd SStOCkinp roster. all the r dia mond athletes were customers. So Chicago merchants inserted an advertise ment in one of the New York papers in December, 1869, which read this way: Ball players are wanted who will form a team to represent Chicago and defeat the Cincinnati Red Stockings"
 James Wood, who had gained consd erable repute as an eastern player. an- swered the advertisement. He told the Chicago merchants that if they would empower him to do so he could recruit a team during the winter that he felt would beat the Cincinnati club. And the Chicagoans promptly wired him:
 Go ahead and organize club. We will supply necessary finances"
 Wood got busy at once. He went to Troy, N. Y., with Tom Foley, now champion blliardist in New York who was representing the Chicagoans then. There they signed up Craver and Fisher the same Craver who some years later was expelled from baseball for crooked ness. Both men were great hitters. Cra-

ver's contract mailed for s20OO for the | complete season of 1S70 while Foster was signed for $500
 During January, Wood, jumping from one town to another, finally signed up l complete team-11 men-and then began preparations for a spring training trlp | Only once before had any ball club gonA l into the southland for preseason worS, | but the first experiment proved the wis | dom of the plan. And Wood took hIs | boys to New Orleans.
 1 The team-already named the Chicago White kings-practiced alone during 1 it's first week in the Crescent City. Then Wood booked exhibition games with va | rious clubs in New Orleans The Chi cagoans proved so superior to their foes that the games were burlesques. In or der to give his boys as stiff practice
 as possible, Wood agreed to let the New Orleans teams play IS men in the field. But still the White Stockings hammered
 out fusilades of hits. Then he gave the New Orleans teams six outs to an inning. But always Chicago overwhelmed the strongest 1S-man team that New Or leans could muster.
 The team finally left New Orleans and worked it's way north, playing exhibition games in all the big towns. Memphis possessed what it thought was a pretty good ball club. Chicago beat it 157 to in nine innings. And scores of almost the same proportion followed every clash. Chicago was wild with baseball enthu- siasm by the time it's team arrived there. A big crowd turned out for the first home gane-Chicago vs the Rockford (IlI.) team--on which Al Spalding and Cap An son got their start Rockford had hopes Of beating the White Stockings. But those hopes died in the first inning when Woods boys scored 14 runs and followed with 10 more in the second.
 Wood took his team east. and the club was a sensation. It had hitting power such as no club of that period had shown. Woods plan was to keep the team in the east during the major portion of the summer, returning to Chicago for final tuning up' for the series with the Cincinnati Red Stockings in September
 But two of the White Stockings were
 injured late in May and the first part of ,
 June two others were taken sick. So
 Wood abandoned the schedule. In August
 the team was intact again and the club played through that month, adding to
 it's unbroke iorerodcfcnvvETAOIN INSHRD
 it's unbroken record of victories.
 And in September of 1870 came the
 world series between the White Stock
 ngs and the Red Stockings, which was
 fought out amid scenes unparalleled in
 baseball history.
 Gro be concluded tomorrow.)
 Note-The final chapter of this story
 concerning the world series of 1870 will
 appear in this column tomorrow.

TYLER SLATED ID
 OPPOSE MAYS IN
 B|G CAME TODAY

The Red Sox now have a big edge. This afternoon Carl Mays will probably op- pose Tyler and Babe Ruth will go back to his position in left field. By station ing the home run wonder in the sunny garden, Ed Barrow will be forced 10 bench WIteman, whose timely bingie and sensational fielding saved the game for the Beaneaters more than once veg terday, but Ruth is far too valuable to re kept out of the line up for minute and it is not thought that the Red Sox pilot will hesitate to yank Whiteman.
 We pic6ed the Red Sox to cop the series and we see no reason 70 change, but we believe that Tyler will be able to put t over. Mays today. In our opinion the vet eran southpaw is the best forkhander in the Tener crcuit, and if he doesn't win, none of these Cricago twirlers will have a chance.
 Bullet Joe Bush, if he doesn't wock today, will oppose Hendryx in the last Chicago game Sunday. Hendryx should prove easy for those left hand sluggers on the Boston team and we look for him to be sent to the showers about the fourth inning In other words it appears to be a cinch that the Red Sox will return home Monday with two out of three games to their credit, and we expect them to viii two of the three in the city of culture.
 j But the game today :s Chicago's last chance. If they falter, good night. It they win, they'll still have little the worst of it in prospects. This morning, however it's about a 3 to 2 bet that Bos. ton will graL the championship banner
