trading. Export demand was reported

BUSINESS NOTES

Moderate Activity in Raw
Wool-Market Prices
Generally Firm.

The raw wool market has continued
moderately active, with prices generally
firm. although fine stapled woods have
been forced to yield slightly on
count OF the competition of foreign fine
wools, says the Commercial Bulletin.
The Lawrence mills affected by the
strike are gradually resuming opera
tions, although no marked improvement
in the demand for wool is expected un-
I'll after Labor Day. The trade is
naturally inclined to wait more or less
to see what the final disposition of the
tariff will be. The foreign markets are
very strong, Yorkshire having marked
up prices on merino tops again. In

In the Lehigh-Lafayette game last
year. for example, two prominent ofll-
cials arrived at Bethlehem not know
ing which was to referee and which
was to umpire. AS it happened both
were specialists in the refereeing de-
partment and had little or no expert
ence at umpiring. Originally dehigh
had named one of the two as referee.
but had received no sanction from the
central board. AS consequence the
hour Immediately preceding the game
was marked by deadlock, neither
man wishing to serve as umpire. The
situation was saved by the sporting
expedient Of tossing coin.
SuggestiOns to Act Upon.
AS long as nine years ago a stand
was taken against the goal from
touchdown as a useless and unjust
appendage to the game The rules
committee ignored this. But even
tually an alternate suggestion that
the ball be kicked from point d.
rectly in front Of the goal post was
adopted. The project to eliminate the
feature altogether probably VIII De
discussed at the present meeting, but
the chances are discussion will be
carried over into the next few years
before the kick from placement is
done away with.
In the meantime teams carving out
touchdowns through splendid en-
deavor and yet failing to kick goals
will lose to less accomplished outfits
that have scored shoestring touch
downs and kicked the succeeding
goal and other unfortunate unfair
and unjust workings Of the present
rule will be noted.
Probably the suggestion-from out
sjde-that the ball in the third period
be put in play from the spot where
1t lay at the end of the second period
will be ignored, although in this way
a game of foot ball would offer con-
t!nuity, whereas now it amounts real
ly to two games. There will be some
talk of shifts and there is chance
that something vii! be incorporated in
the rules book designed to make it
absolutely certain that line players
