Optimism is again manifesting itself
In the New York stock market, not the
same confident brand that prevailed
during the weeks previous to the recent
cataclysm, but a chaStened brand
ready and anxious to gather In profits
on opportunity, regardless Of income
taxes which so disturbed the minds OF
traders with big profits before the re-
cent break.
Bankers have not absorbed much
optimism, Still having out precautton-
ary signals against speculation, which
may be charged directly to the very
heavy Withdrawals Of cash which have
greatly reduced bank deposits.
There are those who think that fur
ther liquidation may be necessary, bas-
ing their opinion on the strenuous ef-
forts that are being made to maintain
industrial prosperity aS an evidence
that all Is not as 1t should be.
The economist Of the National City
Bank in the regular monthly business
circular, refers to the termination OF
the distress liquidation in the stock
market as being accompanied by a
better feeling generally among the
public"

November showed a slight decrease
in production compared with the same

Some doubt still exists as to few

There is also some question as 70
whether Capt. Koepke will be az MS

PLENTY OF GAMES
OF WORTH IN EAST
Several of Leading EIevens
Risk Clean States in
Tomorrow's Fray.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

n Y Ew YORK, November 8.-The
East tomorrow has a heavy
schedule of climatic or semi
4 climatic foot ball battles, but
the general interest OF the
section will be in Armys duel with Bob
Zuppke's Illinois eleven and Harvard's
fray with Michigan, both games being
in the Midwest.
The intersectional contest at New
York between Georgia and New York
University will vie for interest with such
purely domestic encounters as Penn
stated Pennsylvania Dartmouth Brown,
Georgetown-Navy, Colgate Columbia,
washington and Jefferson-P Pittsburgh,
Boston College Fordham, Villanova-
Bucknell, Rutgers-Lafayette, and among
the little three, Wesleyan and Williams.
Yale and Cornell and West Virginia
also are to engage intersectional foes,
but of these only West Virginia appears
to be in any danger of defeat. Yale
meets Maryland, with full expectations
of avenging the 60 defeat plastered on
it last year. Cornell should get no more
than a workout against Western Re-
serve, but West Virginia, especially in
view of its hard election day battle with
Fordham, appears doomed to defeat by
the heavy Detroit eleven of Gus Dorais,
unbeaten over span of 20 contests and
tied only once in that time.
Princeton hopes to achieve its second
victory of the season at the expense OF
Lehigh, but the Pennsylvanians are
looking up after long period of foot
ball depression and may spring a sur
prise. Lehigh held Penn to 1917 score,
a neat performance in any season,
Unbeaten teams clash In the Pitt

meetings, but all Of these elevens but
Pitt have been tied. Fordham might be

with West Virginia.

YALE PICKS ELEVEN
TO PLAY MARYLAND
Wilson Is Named as Quarter.
Booth Is Due to Toll in
Only One Period.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, November g.
Coach Nal Stevens of the Yale foot ball
team has picked his lineup for the
game with Maryland tomorrow.
Stevens decided to return the veteran
Wilson to run the Eli eleven. He Sc
lected Stewart, first string guard, to
begin the game instead of the veteran
Loeser, who has not been in satisfactory
physical condition all Fall. He picked
McLennan for left halfback instead of
either Booth or Snead, who have been
alternated in that position in beginning
every game this Fall.
Snead has been used when the Yale
campaign plans called for line-forcing
attack. He weighs nearly 100 pounds,
and with Miller and Dunn constitutes a
heavy artillery drive against any rival.
McLennan, who was substitute back
last year. weighs only ia He and
Wilson will divide the pun g assign
ment.
Stevens alignment calls for using
Booth for only one playing period I'M
less Maryland, which whitewashed Yale
last year, 6 to 0, proves unusually 'trou-
blesome. Stevens said that Yale ex-
poets a rugged, stubbornly contested
game.

GR|FES GET MOIST
BUT RED-HOT CAMP
Biloxi Has Its Rain During
MarCh-Good Training at
Hand for Club.
BY JOHN b. KELLER.

w YHEN the Nationals do their
n training In Biloxi, Miss, the
NM first three weeks of next
March they may be bothered
at times by rain. something
that did not anoy them to any great
extent during the 10 years they did
their conditioning work at Tampa, Fla.
According to the Weather Bureau,
Biloxi Is somewhat moist, not to say
damp, during the third month of the
year.
The meteorological sharps have it
that the average rainfall for March in
Biloxi and vicinity is ST. inches. Which
is considerably more than the average
rainfall for this month in Washington.
And Washington never has been con-
sidered a dry spot in March. The rec
urds show that some Marches in Biloxi
aren't SO damp, but the Weather
Bureau book also shows that in one
March the precipitation amounted to
more than IL inches. Then the Biloxi
business men went to work in boats.
But Biloxi has climate, according to
the Weather Bureau. Plenty OF 1t. It
has been as hot rs % degrees Fahren-
heit in March in this Mississippi town.
Something like Washington, it seems,
In this respect. But the 26 degrees was
never experienced by the present crop
of Biloxi natives. Generally right hot
in March there.
However, with its rain and its vary
ing temperatures, Biloxi must be a
pretty spiffy place. 1t is Winter as
well as Summer resort with Won
derful beach on Biloxi Bay, fine golf
courseS-which may or may not inter-
est the Nationals next Spring - and
plenty Of fshing-which certainly Will
interest the many Isaak Waltons with
the Washington club.
It's not a big town. Latest census
statistics credit 1t with population OF
10000. Onite little place compared
with Tampa, where the Nationals
trained so long. But little towns are
considered ideal training sites for big
league clubs by the owners, except when
they look for crowds at the exhibition
games. Biloxi has a fine new athletic
field which the Nationals will use, and
also a fine new hotel which will be the
clubs headquarters. President Griffith
always has his club well quartered.
Present plans call for the Nationals
to do the first three weeks of their
training in Biloxi. The pitchers are
to toll during the first two weeks OF
March under the Mississippi skies, then
the entire club will be assembled Tor a
week of training in Biloxi. After that
will come two weeks Of training at
Chattanooga, President Joe Engel's new
spot.
President Griffith figures five weeks of
conditioning work in the South and an
other week Of exhibition games with the
Braves on the way back home will put
his club In good trim for the 1890
championship season of the American
League. 1t viii be the shortest training
season In years for the Nationals. But
1t should be long enough at that.
