JACK DUNN DIES
 RIDING HORSEBACK

consecutive pennants in the league.
 Discovered "Babe" Ruth
 It was Dunn who introduced Babe" Ruth to league baseball. Brother Paul. head of the St. Mary's Industrial school here, called Dunn's attention to the boy who had play ed for the school, and the Oriole manager took an interest in Ruth and gave him a berth on the Bal timore team. From here Ruth went to Boston where his major league experience began.
 Widow Survivor MT. Dunn's only survivor Is hi5 widow. The death of his only son Jack Dunn, Jr., several years ago. was a severe blow to the father who had counted on the son to succeed him as owner and manager of the Orioles. Even intimate friends of Dunn said they did not know his exact age which was one fact about himself that he seldom revealed. High Prices
 Jack Dunn not only achieved fame for piloting seven successive Inter- national League pennant winners from 1919 to 1925, inclusive, but also for selling more and higher priced ball players to the major leagues than any other manager. | The most valuable player in base ball today. Babe Ruth. was discov- cred and developed by Dunn at :, Baltimore but it is a curious fact that he was disposed of to Boston in 1914 at a price reported to be not over $s,OO0.
 In contrast with this Dunn has sold such stars as Lefty Grove to tho Athletics for t100,0o0. Jack Bentley to the Giants for $65.ooo and others, including Max Bishop, Joe Boley and George Earnshaw, to the Athletics, all for big prices. Here's how Dunn once described his introduction to Ruth:
 "When Babe was recommended to me by the brothers at St. Mary's. set aside one winter day to look over this promising recruit. found Ruth sliding on the ice with . bunch of school kids. He wore a pair of overalls and looked like a big kid himself. Still he looked like an athlete to me and the brothers recommended him 50 highly I de- cided to give him a chance. In the meantime the other boys stood around and said. Gee. there goes our ball club.'"
 That was 1914. the year Of the Federal league invasion of Baltimore and Dunn. in financial difficulties. was forced to sell such stars as Ruth, Shore and Egan to the Red Sox for a reported amount of s25.- 900.

{. N. 4. ID ADMIT
 JUNIOR MEMBERS
Boys iild Girls Up to IS Years
 .d ASt Eligible

Recognizing the principle of pub lie service for the benefit of all classes in the community. the Civic Music association 1t . nopn lunch con today decided to add junior memberships to its concert course and voted to admit girls and boys from charitable institutions. within certain age limits to the sallery free of charge. Student nurses would also be thus favored.
 Arthur c. KimbaH, stalwartly pronounctns the ethics of civic duty. made the suggestion, which received the ready scQuiescence of Judge w. c. Hungerford, president of the as- sociation. and othsrs-
 Junior memberships will apply to boys and sirls to the age of IS and are designed to appeal to parents who ars bringing up . brood of their youns and would hesitate to ftnancs- fhs menahs rships of their children at full membership rates. The plan, 1t was agreed, would ex- ert | powerful appeal within the ranlu of the city's youth and would help to further tho cultural work that the Civic Music association has set out to perform.
 The city's charitable institutions should not be overlooked. Mir. Kim ball pointed odt, and as no one would expect the children from an institution like the Children's Home to purchase memberships in the as- sociation this is no valid reason why they should not be permitted to at- tend the concerts. within certain age limits. he stated. These age limits will be decided upon after a confer ence with the heads of tn institu- ions.
 Memberships to the, Civic Music association. it was stressed, will close November 1, and a whirlwind cam paign will be inaugurated between now and that time. This is doubl, necessary, it was stated, because ol the fact that the course of three concerts will be for memberships oi the association only, except in the case of members of charitable insti. tutions, which means that no ticket. will be sold at the door.
 A substantial increase in mem. berships was reported at today's luncheon meeting.

 MAY NOT BE ADEQUATE
Mayor Paonessa Considers Need oi Installing Extra Equipment for
 Presidential Election.

Mayor Paonessa today was con- sdering conference with the board of selectmen to determine whether the present voting machine equip ment is adequate to. take the presi- dential day ballotinS in the allotted period of time.
 With more than 3,700 new voters who will cast their first ballot No vember 6. each entitled by law to one minute to vote, it was apparent to the mayor that 3.7O0 minutes may be needed. If each elector takes the allotted one minute, one voting ma chine will be needed for each 720 ballots, which means that the new voters would require the full time of live machines.

MARKET BEARISH;
 SELLING tS HEAVY
Long Line of Favorits Drop
 Down 1-5 Points

New York. Oct. :o N-Speculative sentiment turned decidedly bearish in today's stock market. Heavy selling for both accounts carried 2 long line of recent favorites down l to points, with breaks of to IS points in few of the high priced specialties. Coppers were . con- spicuous exception to the general downward trend. at least six issues in that group moving to new high ground on buying influenced by re- ports of 2 further stiffening in red metal prices. A few specialties also showed independent strength. Ma tionai Tea soaring 25 points.
 There was nothing in the business news over the weekend to account for the change in speculative senti- ment as most of the trade and mer cantile reports continued favorable in character. Several of tho large commission houses urged lighten- ing of long commitments on the ground that the rapidity of the re- cent advance had weakened the technical position of the market, and carried several issues beyond their intrinsic worth. Others regarded the national election. only two weeks away, as likely to mark a turning point in the market although no ef- fort was made to associate the price movement with the outcome.
 Credit conditions were slightly more favorable. Call money re- newed at 6h per cent and dropped to 6, with a plentiful supply avail able. Time money was quoted at 2 per cent for nearby maturities and 7-S for the longer dates.
 Recent dissolution of pools in some of the motor and accessory shares also caused some uneasiness in speculative quarters, as indicat- ing a lack of confidence in the fu- ture trend. Adams Express record ed an extreme decline of Is points and Radio. Montgomery-Ward and Johns Manville sold or more points below Saturdays final quotations after an early display of strength. Murray Corporation broke points and Dupont, Wright Loose Wiles, Collins & Aikman. Midland Steel Products preferred and Rossia In- surance sold down points or more. Selling pressure also was in evidence against such recent favorites as General Motors. U. g. Steel common and Hudson. Freeport Texas broke points to q new 1928 low at 43. In the Copper group, Anaconda Kennecott. Granby Nevada, Seneca, Cerrode Pasco and Miami moved into new high ground. Recent gale of additional common stock to finance the reopening of the Seneca Mines, which can operate at q pro- it at present copper price levels, was an important factor in the ac- emulation of that issue. Fresh buy ing came into International Nickel on the publication of Canadian dis patches that British interests had acquired control of that issue.
