TO HAVE BIG" ELEvENS.
Eastern and Business to Place
Teams in Unlimited Class-All
Squads Practice.

Eastern and Business High School
likely will be represented this year in
the series for unlimited elevens, and
the former school also will enter a
team in the 135-pound competitions.
There is an abundance of foot ball
material at Eastern. and Coach Guyon
has two combinations well under way.
BUSINESS also has a sizable squad
but the Stenographers, lacking a
coach, will devote their efforts to the
development of an unlimited eleven
only.
Guyon has selected a team to play
the Marine Props Friday at Rosedale.
He has placed Harrison and Faber at
ends. Whitney and Crudmore at
tackles, Herzog and Vermillion at
guards, Hegley at center, Prender at
quarter. Cirrie and Myers at half
backs and Hayward at fullback. This
team will average around $50 pounds.
Central. Tech and Western were
given long drills yesterday. The first
named team was sent into a scrim-
mage with the second Blue and White
eleven. and the reserves made matters
mighty interesting for the larger
com bination.

RAILS CHECK BREAK
IN |NDUSTR|ALS
Severe Slump in Latter in
Morning Hours-HiIIs'
Feature Market.
BY STUART p. WEST.

NEW YORK, September 20 (SpeciaD
--Today's stock market was again dis
tinguished by series of very confusing
and conflicting movements. Certain
stocks and groups Of stocks were def
nitely weak while others were just as
decidedly strong
During the early part of the session
the steel shares. and particularly those
OF the Independent concerns. were heav-
lily sold on the talk that price cutting
in the steel trade might come at almost
any time. Republic Steel. Bethlehem B
and Lackawanna all went down very
easily and steel common. although not as
weak. made new low for the month
Oh shares were under pressure, not
because of any unfavorable develop
ments in the oil trade (the story
about an impending overproduction
or 1uel oil has been effectually ex-
ploded). but because these stocks
were looked upon as not having had
their proper readjustment in the re-
cent decline in the industrial list
They had attracted good deal Of
miscellaneous speculative buying and
their market position was looked upon
as likely to prove vulnerable. The
decline began in Texas Company then
spread to the pan-Americans and to
the low-priced oils.
Strong Spots Elsewhere.
These weak spots among the indus
~ ioiS WERE however, 1ully matched
by the strong points in the railroad
and public utility division. The low
priced rails which have been the won-
der or the market right along, con-
tinue to stand up in a manner to in
dictate that all the offerings around
current prices were being readily alb
sorbed.
Not only this but the buying was
persistent enough to force many of
these stocks upward to new high
prices.
Among those which either eaualed
or passed their previous high were
st. Paul preferred and common, Nickel
Plate. the Baltimore and Ohios,
Wheeling and Lake Erie common and
Lake Erie and Western.
A still more striking feature of the
railway market, however, was the
continued very confident buying of
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
Preferred, this being based upon the
possibilities attaching to the divis-
ion of the Burlington equity, which
will come when the Burlington joint
4 per cent bonds are retired next
July. The remarkable absorption at
rising prices in the Hill shares had
its effect upon other of the higher
priced standard rails. which hitherto
had not been at all conspicuous in
operations for the rise.
