manufacturing war materials. and
what VIII the new and large plants
like that erected by the Briar Hill
Steel Company do after the war is
ended! Sometimes apprehension rs
felt lest these plants become to e con-
siderable extent idle since when the
war ID over the demands of tn. GOV
ernment viii to some extent cea se.
Those who are best informed, how
ever. are confident that all of these
plants viii be driven to full capacity
when peace comes. There will be i'm
mediately an unheard-of demand for
iron and steel products, and structural
iron and steel. because all over the
United States capital is awaiting the
day when 1t will be able to buy COM
modities Of this kind with which to
resume building operations. Further
more. q very great demand from our
allies across the sea for iron and steel
and other commodities will come to
the United States, since the work Sf
reconstruction of vast devastated
areas and the rebuilding of Industrial
plants will probably begin as soon as
possible after peace comes. At first,
at least, the United States will be
relied upon to furnish a considerable
part of these needed commodities.
Therefore the plants which are now
occupied in the Ohio district with war
work will be speedily readjusted TO
the conditions which will open up
after the war is ended. and which will
be reflected by lhe demand for COM
modities of all kinds in order that our
domestic industries may be able to
cope with the new situation.

WELL-KNOWN BALL
PLAYERS HAVE "FLU''

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. s.-Five we'll
known ball players are among the
many here who have been stricken
by epidemic influenza, and in three
Instances their wives also contracted
the ailment All four players were
working at shipyards when taken i'll.
The worst of is Sherwood Magee,
former left fielder of the Phils, and
who played many positions on the
Cincinnati team this year. Magee
has been i'll for a week, and yester-
day he developed pneumonia, and his
condition is regarded as serious. Mrs.
Nagee, also i'll, is recovering.
The latest to contract the disease
was Bradley Hogg, who pitched with
great success for Pat Moran this
year. He is said to be in bad shape.
At the OesChCer home, 54O6 SAMSON
street, where the Phils' pitcher and
his wife are suffering from the cpl
deTnic. it was announced that Mrs.
Deschger was rapidly recovering, but
that Joe suffered a relapse on Sun
day and showed signs Of developing
pneumonia.
ShOrtstop Dave Bancroft Is still
confined to his home with the influ-
enza, but is on the road to recovery
after being in peril for several days.
Mrs. Bancroft is also bedfast, but is
Elowly improving.
Johnny Castle, the well-known
minor league manager and player, is
still in a serious condition at his
home in West Philadelphia.

NEW OWNERS LIKELY
FOR NEW YORK GIANTS

New York, Oct. S.-The New York
Giants will likely change hands be-
fore the December baseball meetings
here, it was learned from an authori-
tative source by The american last
night. Harry n. Hampstead, pres
ident of the club, is known to be
eager to sell the outfit, and is at
present considering a tentative offer
made him by a prominent New York
business man.
Controlling interest in the Giants
is held by Mrs. John T. Brush. widow
of the late head of the club. and
by Mrs. Harry NJ. Hampstead a
daughter of Mrs. Brush. Minor stock
holders are comparatively few, and,
it is said, Manager John ]. McGraw
possesses about twenty shares.
Hempsead became president of the
club upon the death of his father
in-law, John T. Brush, in November,
1912 While the Giants have been
a paying proposition for more than
a decade, Hampstead has several
times expressed a desire to sell the
stock of his wife and Mrs. Brush.

CAPT. MATTY
NOW IN FRANCE
Veteran Pitcher and Man
ager in Active Service
Over There"

Capt. Christy Mathewson. of the
Chemical Warfare Service, u. s. A..
has arrived in France, according to
authentic information from private
I sources and has been sent to a
training school for instructors.
1t has been said and written that
Capt. Mathewson and other ball
players from here who Joined the
colors later than others will meet
with cool receptions by the boys
who have been on the firing line.
1t is believed this talk is greatly
exaggerated, for while a compare
lively few baseball people were too
hasty in entering the employment Of
munition factories and shipping
plants. the fraternity has supplied
a quota of fighting men that COM
pares favorably with those from
other lines of sport and business.
That several prominent profession
al baseball players jumped at the
chance to take up essential work
and thereby caused much adverse
criticism should not condemn the
entire profession. 1t is unfair to
do so. and is also unjust.
Surely, Capt. Mathewson ought not
to be criticised. AS soon as he
could make arrangements he did
not hesitate to go lover there" and
he has selected a branch OF the
service that is considered one of
the most dangerous that he could
have picked out
When one is stationed where poison
gas is manufactured and brought into
active use in battles. it cannot posi-
bly, be a sinecure job, and Matty had
no idea that he was getting one. He
Is lover there" to do his bit and will
do it as bravely and courageously as
any Of the boys in khaki who went
before him.
There are others, too, who Joined the
colors only recently who will do their
bit just as willingly and well as he.
All honor to any and all of our he
roic boys who enter the service. It
is not the fault of any of them that
they are detailed where they cannot
be in battle. and those who cannot
surely must regret it.
Two Giants besides those. who are
now fighting in France and doing their
share in other ways to wallop the
Huns Joined the colors recently
They are Ross C'Pep'O Young and
Ed Sickllng.
Young is now attending a military
training school in Texas, the Texas
Agriculture and Military College, and
will doubtless get a commission. This
is the same college that Groundkeeper
Henry Fabian's son Carl attended. He
is now a lieutenant in the United
States army, and Sticking is stationed
at Camp Sherman. Chillicothe, Ohio.

MARINE LIVENS
QUIET MARKET
Plan Reported to Buy New
American Ships with
Proceeds of British.
BY Brosdsn wall.

New York. October S-With the
! exception Of Mercantile Marine pre-
ferred and American Telephone, the
stock market was very quiet today
and without important changes IN
any issues. Steel stocks gave a bet
ter account of themselves than on
the previous days. The public utIIi-
ties were all steady and the rails
held firm. There was evidence Of
further accumulation Of American
international stock. Tobaccos were
not materially affected by the ar
rest OF few cigar men who are
accused by the government Of man
ipulating prices OF leaf tobacco.
Mercantile Marine was Influenced
by the report that the directors at
their meeting in the afternoon
would make official announcement
OF the plan for the sale OF ships
held under the British flag and the
purchase OF new ones under the
American. Nothing Official had>
come. however. when the market
closed and traders who bought tn.
stock in the morning took profits
in the last hour. thereby shading
the price which at one time during
the day was 41-2 points
w t1tpfeNtts
Wall Street does not expect Marine
20 pay anything on the back diu-
sends in the shape Of cash, the res-
on being that in order to avoid Fed
ersl taxes money received from the
British ships will be reinvested in
merican ships. II is understood that
options have been taken on ships
now under construction. delivery 10
ge made at the close Of the war.
Wall Street was not so sure today
that United States Steel is a war
stock. and therefore good buyinF
came into the market This also en-
outraged stockholders Of American
steel FoUndries and Railway Steel
Springs. both OF which companie,
rose rather sharply. These two com
nanies as well as United States Steel
have book values far in excess Of
their market prices and are looked
