MARINES SOAR
ON WAR NEWS
Steels Neglected as Ship
ping Shares Assume
Market Leadership.
BY BROADkN WALL.

New YORK, Oct. 3.-war news gave
Wall Street an excited and erratie
stock market today. Rumorr that
Turkey had surrendered uncondi-
uonally came in connection with Of
fetal reports Of allied advances and
important German Withdrawals. Il
was also believed in banking cir
cles that Austria would within a
fortnight place her interests in tn.
hands Of the United States.
With the prospect Of peace grow
ing brighter. shipping shares as
sumed leadership Of the market ana
steels were neglected. Internstion-
al Mercantile Marine had a sheer
rise OF points and held most OF il
United states Steel closed al the low
price of the day.
Tobacco stocks were buoyaut
Public service securities were al
so very strong. Oils stocks were
quiet, with the exception Of a few
that had not shared. Smelters and
Chile were features Of strength in
the afternoon. Linseed. Internstion-
al Paper and the rubber shares wer.
strong all day. Studebaker made q
new high record for the movement
Cotton and corn were lower.
The movement in Mercantile Ma
rine caught the street by surprise,
although il was freely forecas sted
an hour before il became active.
The only reason given for the activi-
~ was n expected meeting Of d.
rectors to be held in the afternoon
, When the market closed the street
was still without any official state
ment to warrant a movement But
traders know that q deal for IN.
British ships OF the company Is un-
der way and there was confidence
that IL might be COnsummsted ct
the days meeting.
For the first time in weeks all the
tobacco stocks were active and
higher at the same time. American
Tobacco advanced 5l-2 points. LiE-
gett-Myers. g. Lori.lard. 5l-4; United
Cigar Stores, .. and Tobacco prod
ucts. lis. Some II these prices
were shaded before the close and
American Sumatra. which advanced
more than , points lost its gain,
The reason for this strength 10
that vast quantities Of Macedonian
tobacco is to be released through
the collapse OF Bulgaria Perhaps
even more important is the eIplsna-
tIOn that an early attempt will be
made to resume commerce with

Laurel Paddock Gossip.

Dick" Sharpe. the lightweight
rider from New Orleans. was back
in she saddle after a long absence.
His mount, TrOmpeUSe, failed to
earn any part of the purse.
There have been but two races
through the field. and Dolly" Byers
received the decision eacn time.
His ride on Max Meadows, in the
second. was a sterling effort.
The scratching of Peurose and
RoutIedge robbed all interest in the
Annapolis Stakes. TIE burning
question was by how far would Billy
Kelly win and his price.
Bryant did some circus riding in
the steepiechase on Melos right in
front of the grandstand. His horse
stumbled after making the final
jump. He slid up - the horses ears
but mRnGg ged to finish.
The ride given Billy Kelly 5y'Al-
bert Johnson was perfect. He wait
ed off the early pace and then came
along and won easily.
Col. Billy Garth substituted Bill
Knapp for Mergler in the fifth race
and although under a vigorous ride
Bayberry Candle was not able to
close enough ground to win the heat.
There was noticeable lack Of ap-
plause when Billy Kelly trotted back
to the stand. Everybody exCeut the
S2-plungers had tickets on the win
ner.
No boXCar numbers have been put
up as yet. but unless the pIaters
run truer to form surprises will be
numerous.
Rodriguez was substituted on Mary
Maud in place of PlrrinEton and al
so rode Grey Eagle in the sixth
Tho handicapper is still the wise
guy, he had three winners today.

FOOTBALL MAY
DIE IN WEST
Quarantine and Ban on
Long Trips May Kill
Gridiron Season.

Chicago. Oct. 3.-Football in the
Western colleges is practically at a
standstill, particularly in the Big Ten,
as result of the uncertainty today
over what the War Department pro-
poses to do. Telegraphic reports from
Washington that quarantine had
been placed on the colleges until No
vember l, and limiting out of town
trips thereafter to two, apparently
have not been confirmed. The West
ern conference is holding up all sched-
ules until definite instructions are re-
ceived.
Enrolment of Western College stud
ents into the army also has caused a
break in football practice, which prob
ably will last several days.
As result the season is not likely
to start until October u, a week later
than customary.
The situation at the University OF
Chicago Is typical of conditions
around the big ten" circuit. I'm
less something comes from Wash
ington soon. football on the midway
is going to die a lingering death.
Players are beginning to drop out
OF practice. feeling football a waste
OF time with so much uncertainty in
the air. No attempt will be made
to schedule new games until 1t is
known definitely that the October
games have been called of.
At Minnesota University the ath-
lettc board OF control has turned its
power over to the military Officials
announcing at the same time that
so far as il is concerned. the con-
tracts of coaches, DR.. Williams,
Leonard Frank and Sig Harris have
been terminated and will have to
be renewed by the War Department
unless the men choose to work with
out salaries. A practice game
scheduled by Minnesota for Satur-
day has been called OFF
At Indiana there is a possibility Ken
lucky University will be met Satur-
day. Doubt is epressed as to the abil-
ity Of the southern team to make the
trip because of the army regulations.
Chaos expresses the situation at the
University Of Illinois. Football can
didatcs are tied up with registration
and quarantine. Great Lakes will be
played OclDhvr =.
