Fred Merkle's superb bhall playing &t this critical stage of the struggle for the .vatiomal league championship is one of the props which- has been keeping the Giants on top. Merkle's fight for recognition has been long drawn out, but the plucky first base- man has persevered until he now loome up as a great batsman, a re- markable fielder, a fleet base runner and a tireless worker. It is doubtful if any other bail plaver could have ac- complished as much under the trying circumstances which attended Merkle's early baseball career as a New York Pt When he failed to touch second base in that memorable and fatal game with the Chicago Cubs in 1908, Merkle hecame a laughing stock and the buft ©f unjust criticism everywhere. He was held up to ridicule for a mistake that many other players had made, 1though not in games of such great im- portance. The big fellow took it all in &ood nature until it became tiresome. "I'hen he whipped a few of his traduc- ers out in his native town, and there- nfter during the winter months he was allowed to live in peace. But all this tine Merkle enjoved the confidence of | John McGraw, who told him to pay no heed to j s and jibes, but to go shead and his best on the ball field. ‘You do can make the baseball forget all about that touching second base business by playing the game the best you know how,” sajd the Gi- ants’ manager. “F1l stick to wyou through thick and thin. Nobody can get vour job. Se show ’em that you're not a bonehead after all!” Thus encouraged, Merkle down to work in earnest, public | buckled with the re- eult that soon he began to command respect. Fans who once laughed at Bim were quick to sce that Merkle #ad the right stuff.and when he show-.| ed vast improvement in batting and| fielding they generously applauded | him. Today the episode of 1908 is ov- eriooked. Merkle is a star ball play- er, and if the Giants win the pennant much of their success can be attribut- ed to the lard working first baseman, | who rever lost heart when under the| hottest fire. Many ball players, young| and inexperienced as Merkle was three Years ago, would have wilted under such widespread criticism and would have dropped inte obscurity. There's| nothing more discouraging to all play- { ers than ridicule, .arfa countless young bioods have fallen by the wayside when receiving trials in major league. comnpany because they have been too sensitive. But Merk s an exceptionm, | and baseball fans who are rooting for the success of the Giants are singing his praise. He has vindicated him- self completel Independents, and Heavyweights Com- ing Together. Manager Rendett has arranged a game for October 1 for his Independ- ents and the fast Greeneville Heavy- weights. These two teams battled last ear for thz city championship, the ndependents winning by tbe close score of 5 to 2, and greater speed than ever this season, 0 that a contest worth seeing will e on hand wvhen they meet. . they both claim Ed Havel, the former New Britain infielder, who is now with Albany, and Armbruster, the former Connecticut league backstop, ‘are the ohly two in tha New York State lea~- this vear to steal four bases in one gam bruster stole_third twicg. TEN GAMES ON ACADEMY SCHEDULE Companies | Windham High Comes to Open Football Season— Strong’ Lifie' and Veteran Backfield in N. F. A. Eleven. The Academy football schedule for the season has practically been com- | pleted by Manager Theodore Haviland with 10 games on the list and one or two more dates which may yet be fill- ed. Seven of those arranged for are when Windham High school's eleven is here for the opening game. All but two of the games arranged for so far are on Saturday, the exceptiens being un Wednesday. As in former years, there are two games with Windham High, with Westerly High and with Bulkelev High. Hartford High comes here for a game on Oct 21st, the fifth contest on the schedule, so that the home team should be in pretty good form by that time and able to make a good showing against the strong combination that Hartford High usually sends out. The following is the list of dates: ‘S;DL 30—Windham High at Nor- wic Oct, 7—Heavyweights of \or“ ich at Norwich. Oct. 11—Westerly High at Norwich. Oct. 14—Academy at Willimantic v. Windham High. i Oct. 21—Hartford High at Norwich. Oct, 28—Jewett City at Norwich. Nov. 4—Academy vs. Bulkeley at New London. Nov. 8—Academy vs. Westerly High at Westerly. Nov. 18—Bulkeley at Norwich. Thanksgiving day—Yale Consolidat- eq at Norwich. Practice for the team under the di- rection of Coach Leonard and Captain Gebrath has been proceeding steadily ali the past week, and the eleven has been rounding into the intricacies of the game in good form. All the prac- tice has been on the upper end of the Academy campus, but the games will be played on grounds at the Norwich scate hospital at Brewster's Neck, where a gridiron has been chalked out. FProbably today Manager Haviland and Assistant Manager Burke will see to the erection of the goal pos The Hospital gridiron is a fine level piece of grassed land which will make a very satisfactory playing field. Prob- | ably the eleven will go down there some day this week to de a little prac- ticing, as their® present training ground is not a full sized field ~nd they want to get acquainted with the full limits in which they have to play. The probable first choice of the team as indicated by the way the men have been playing in practice will put Coughlin at fullback, Swan at left half, McCormick at right half, and Tevlin at quarter. This backfield com- bination, except for Tevlin, is the same as played in games last season. The right side oMf the line consists of Cap- tain Gebrath at end, Byles at tackle, Merbert at guard. Kinney holds the cen nosition, and to his left stand Bliss at guard, Eiliott at tockle, and Jackson at _end. The line has good weight and some experienced men, the backfield is al- most a veteran combination, so that the prospects for the eleven look as| bright at the opening of the season as h have at any corresponding time for several years past. THREE TOUCHDOWNS BY HARVARD SQUAD. 'Varsity Men Put in Some Lively Work —Fishmen’s Bright Prospcets. Cambridge, Mass.,, ,Sept. 25.—The Harvard football squad was given its first scrimmage of the early practice of the season c¢n Scidiers’ field late to- day, nearly every candidate getting into the lineup during the afternoon. The two squads kept up the work for fifty minutes, the 'varsity getting three touchdowns in the first twenty minutes of play. Halfback Campbell scored the first touchdown. The Harvard freshmen came out for the first time today, an unsually heavy array of 57 men showing up. There were many former scholastic stars among the candidates, and the mate- rial is the most promising for a strong freshman team in years. . MIDDIES ON THE GRIDIRON. Sixty Turn Out for Practice at Annap- olis. Annapolis, Md., Sept. 25.—The mid- shipment had their first football prac- tice on Worden field today. The squad numbered nearly sixty, two-thirds of the men with experience last year. The weather was intensely warm for foot- ball, but the players were put through all’ the rudiments of the game. The prospects for a strong team are consid- ered bright. Today’s practice was di- rected by Ensign Douglas Howard, captain of the 1905 eleven. He has as his assistants Wheaton, formerly of Yale, Ensigns Ingram and Farley and Midshipmen Wright and Clay. NO MORE BIRDMEN OVER THE CREWS. Harvard Wants No Rapeiman of At- wood’s Feat. Says the Harvard Graduates’ Mag- azine: “Atwood's passenger was Bryan F. Mahan, the mayor of New London, who was generaly condemned for both permitting and participating in this advertising scheme, which had nothing to do with the races. If Atwood’s ma- chine had broken loose and sunk and killed one of the crews—just as the French minister and others were re- cently killed near Paris—it would have beén small consolation to know that the aviator and his passenger were among the victims. Besides the great risk to life, the annoyance to the crews was considerable, and in a close contest it might have altered the re- sult. As it was, the oarsmen in both boats testified to the distraction it caused them to hear the grinding of the aeroplane’s propellers over their FINANGIAL AND COMMERGIAL. AN EXTENSIVE DECLINE. Losses Reduced by an Upward Move- ment in Late Trading. New York, Sept. 25.—The most ex- tensive decline in stocks which Wall street has known since the long down- ward movement began early last month occurred today. The selling was not concentrated so largely on United States Steel as during last week’s up- heaval, but extended through the en- tire list. Prices gave way in every quarter and the losses of many of the leading issues ranged from four to six pcints. In the late trading the mar- ket developed pronounced strength and stocks rose almost as abruptly as they had declined. The end of the session found losses greatly reduced. The day began in comparative quiet and although the market still showed signs of nervousness the first hour witnessed no unusual fluctuations. Be- fore noon, however, the selling in- creased to enormous proportions. Or- | ders to sell flooded the market, which bioke precipitately. Almost all the lcading issues fell to new low points of the year. Union Pacific, which was the object of particularly heavy pres- sure, broke 6 1-8 to 153 1-2. Reading lost St. Paul 4, Northern Pacific, Southern Pacific, Canadian Pacific, Great Northern preferred and Lehigh Valley 4 or more. Among the indus- trials the metal shares were especial- ly weak. Selling of United States Steel was extremely large, although Reading 2nd Union Pacific were thrown on the market in almost as heavy amounts. United States Steel's low point was 51 53-8, a decline of 4 5-8. Amalgamated Copper lost 4 1-§, American Smelting 3 1-4 and Ana- conda 3. American Beet Sugar, Amer- ican Cotton Oil, Virginia Carolina Chemical, National Biscuit and Unit- ed States Express broke 4 points or more. Attorney General Wickersham’s in- timation that a tentative plan for the dissolution and readjustment of the American Tobacco. company has been agreed upon was the signal for the recovery. The upward movement be- gan in® the American Tobacco .securi- ties. On the “curb” the common shares rallied 15 points. The preferred rose from, 91 to 93 1-2 on ghe stock exchange, and both the four per cent. and six per cent. bonds scored good advances. The movement extended to the remainder of the market, and be- fore the close the bidding became spirited. Recoveries ranged from two to four points. United States Steel and some inactive stocks closed with only fractional losses. With the exception of the wnrd Tas ceived from the attorney general, there were no developments to throw light upon the clouded situation which has unsettled Wall street so complete- 1v. While today's break was attrib- uted in part to the bear_ side of the market, it was evident that liquidation on a large scale was still in progress. As the decline proceeded liquidation in speculative holdings was formed. and for a time the market was threatened with utter demoralization. Bear re- ports with no apparent foundation were circulated with effect. Tt was hinted that the government was about to bring proceedings against other large corporations. The uncertainty which prevailed everywhere was per- hzps the most bafling and disturbinz feature, and there appeared to be lit- tle hope of settled conditions until some definite indication was obtained as to the position of the United States Steel corporation and other large con- cerns under the Sherman law as now construed. Transactions in stocks amounted to 1,449,800 shares, the largest total since June 20, 1910. Bonds also were very active. Prices were depressed sharply, but thcre was a recovery when stocks rallied. Total sales of bonds, par value, $4,205.000. United States government bonds were undhanged on call. S"'OCKB Sales. —Ants Chiaiiuers. pfd 00 Amal. Copper . Am. Agrieultural 800 Am.

The game was marked Dby sentational fielding by Sweeney, Dosle and Jiler. Kirke carried off the battng honors.

Lead of the Giants Gives Pitchers Nice Chance to Gather Ginger. farquaré has fought in more games,” says McGraw, “than any oth- er pitcher ir either league through the same length of time. In addition to this he has faced more iough battles. There have been only a few games where he could loaf at any stage. From October on I expect to work him only here and there to have him right | for the big show.” The one big feature of the Giants® spurt which has carried the team so far out in front is that McGraw will have his chance to rest up Mathewson and Marquard for the Athletic at- tack. The Giant leader at one time feared that he” would be forced to use his stars so often in wirming the flag that by closing time neither would be at his best to step in against one of the hardest hitting lineups that ever slash- ed as speed and curves, But the odds now are that by Octo- ber 1 McGraw will be able to shoot his second string against opposing clubs and only work his two best bets often enough to keep them in shape. == |Railroad Man Writes Remarkable Letter In 1903 and 1904, I was a terrible sufferer _for about filve memths with kidney and bladder trouble.
