She was FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL ANOTHER BEARISH DAY, Quotations Drop from One to Six Points, but Recover Later. New York, Dec. 6.—The bear cam- paign was resumed on the stock ex change today, and prices gave way be. fore another determined onslaught. The movement was less general and of shorter duration than yesterday’s. Quotations gave way from one to six | points on the break, but later the mar- | ket recovered handsomely. While lht:re; was no apparent change in the factors | which determine the state of what is | known as speculative sentiment, there seemed to be less uneasiness on the | part of security holders. There |was | evidence of forced lquidation yester- day, whereas today's movement ap- peared to be due more largely to bear | selling. The market was helped by a sober- ing down of the fluctuations among the minor specialties which broke so vio- | erday, presumably because | t mination of lending institu- | tions against these securities as collat- eral. ~ While the banks still maintain- | ed this attitude, the result was not as| noticeable, since yesterday’s movement | disposed of large holdings of these less stable securities. The market began the day calmly and bear traders devoted the first hour | 1o testing the list here and there. Then | selling increased and during an hour | of great activity prices went down rap- idly. ome of the prominent issues| broke under yesterday's low points to| the bottom prices of several months. Steel sold at 67 1-2, Amalgamated at 791-2, Union Pacific at 1665-8, and American Can at 301-4, all new low| prices for the movement. Shortly aft- | er noon the market turned and rose| easily. Losses were largely made up, | gains. Short covering played a con- siderable part in the rally. Forecasts of tomorrow’s bank state- ment indicated a cash loss of $1,000,- 000 or less to $8,000,000. Tt was the| opinion of some bankers, however, that | the deficit in bank reserves reported| last week would be greatly reduced, or possibly eliminated in this week's Te- port, owing to the recent liquidation of stocks and attendant reductions ot loans and & shifting of loans to out| of town Institutions.

Harvard’s Football Hero Senses Loca- tion of Goal Posts Rapidly and Ac- curately—Star Performers of Other Days. The brilliant achivement of Charles E. Brickley this fall invites at the present time unusual interest in this branch of the football art. Brickley's performance in the game with Prince- ton not only is remarkable because it scored enough points to have won the | game for Harvard, but also because | | s0 many fleld goals have been kicked | | by one player in a single game only| | once before in the 36 years of footbail | | between Harvard. Pennsylvenia and | Yale, says an exchange. The drop and place kicks presents the most diffi-| cult performance in football. To exe- | cute a drop kick, the player, in the| face of a veritable avalanche of ad- versaries crashing upon him, must| drop the ball from his hands to the| ground, and catching it with his toe| upon the bound drive it over a distant | | crossbar 18 feet and 6 inches in width. So perfectly timed by long practice is | | the kick with the rebound of the ball | that the eve cannot perceive that the! | ball really has touched the ground, | but a practiced ear easily and instant. ly detects the bound by a pronounced'| { foot against the ball. The place kick is less difficult, as this is made from a ball held in position upon the ground by a comrade. ‘ In his drop-kicking form Brickley presents a vital difference from the lg\:‘eli»goal kickers who have preceded | | him, in that he kicks absolutely with- | out’ deliberateness. Other kickers | | have been forced momentarily to polse and point the ball, and to locate the 444 | goal posts with thelr eve. As a result | elevens composing what is popularly their kicks frequently have been block- | ed by the charge of the opposing rush | line. When the ball reaches Brickley | from the center there is no pause. It| and course to the crossbar, rather re- 9% | sembling the “bank shot” of a billiard End—Oliphant, Purdue. 52y | ball. Accurately sensing the exact lo- | Quarterback—Gillette, Wisconsin. | cation of the goal posts, Brickley does 108% | not even take a flashing glance at the| Left half—Van Riper, Wisconsin. | object at whieh he is aiming, but with his eye on the ball kicks into space. The next instant he is buried benath | the charging avalanche of hostile play | ers, but the ball, sailing safely above | their heads, is well-on its way to the. fatal crossbar, ‘While the glamor of Brickley’s fleld | goals is still thout us let us compare | the feat with the greatest field goal achievements in the history of the American game. For the longest goal from the fleld, ‘we must go back to the Princeton-Yale game of Novembér 30, 1832. Those were the days when the kicking game comprised the major method of attack, and the rushing game was only In its infancy. At that time every player up- on a team was expected to be profl- clent in all kinds of kicks. Thus it happens that the best kicker upon the Princeton team was J. Triplett Hax- tll, who was playing the position of “next to center,” & post now known as left guard. The Yale goal posts are 63 yards away. Haxall again carefully sights the ball for a place kitk. The ball is 13 yards to one side of center, and a slight cross wind is blowing. Judging_the wind with a wisp of grass, Haxall takes a last look at the crossbar, leaps against the ball on the run, and with a mighty kick sends the pigskin spinning high above the lime lines, and the faces of the Yale players. Midway in its flight the ball begins to fall, and it seems as though the kick will be short, but. with mysterious momentum it still keeps on {and crosses over the bar, with four! | vember 26, 1898. Wisconsin opened the | contest by resorting to the kicking | Left end—Fleming, Indiana. | Right guard—Rosenthal, Minnesota. | Right end—Ofstie, Wisconsin. feet to spare, thus scoring the longest place kick in the history of the game. The honor of the longest drop kick, 62 yards, belongs to P. J. ODea of Wisconsin, and was kicked in the! Northwesten-Wisconsin game of No- game, O'Dea doing the punting. Two exchanges had taken place, and O'Dea | again was sent back to punt the ball | He took his place on Wisconsin's 48/ yard mark. Either in the belief that he might kick the goal, or that at least he could deliver ad drop kick as long s a punt, O'Dea suddenly decided to drop kick." His foot struck the leather with a tremendous impact.and straight and true the ball spun over the long distance and crossed the bar squarely above the center, and with elght feet to spare. BASEBALL WON'T DO IN CHINA. Nation’s Etiquet Causes Delay in Its Progress. An American newspaper man who has just returned from a Chinese jour- ney says that the younger and more progressive element of the Chinks can be counted on to adopt and boom baseball, but that the conservatives, though they like the game, are under| heavy drawbacks on account of the| peculiar Chinese customs and rules of | etiquet. “I saw some Chinese near Hankow,” says the traveler, “who had taken up the game and received in- structions from several returned col- lege students. They played a game| one afternoon, and at the end of the| third inning it was pitch dark, score | 9 to 9. gTheir rules of etiquet delayed the battle. The umpire was the dis-| trict mandarin, and ev time he | called a man out he'd say: “Tllustrious | son of the moon and the brightest con- | stellations, it glves me sorrow beyond | all expression of lenguage to inform you that the honored first baseman | received the ball an infinitesimal frac- tion.of time before your high born foot was upon the cushion.’ “And the base runner would answer: ‘Loftiest lord of the red button, #1- though it seemed to my poor compre- hension that I heard the thump of my | insignificant foot upon the bag before | the estimable first baseman received the ball, I bow to your superior intel- ligence, for what is my reasoning to yours? Asis a worm of the dust com- pared to a soaring eagle; as is a wa side clod to the peaks of lofty moun. tains; as is the cat that yowls by night | compared to the imperial tiger! Your excellency, lord of the red button, has | decreed that I am out, and I accept the | edict gracefully!’ Now, how in blazes can you ever get through nine innings under that sore of circumstances?”’ AMERICANS WILL ACCEPT. English Polo Challenge Will Not Re- main Unnoticed. The American polo association will accept the challenge of the Hurling- ham polo club of England for a series | of games for the America cup, to be played in this country next year. This | was announced by W. A. Hazard, sec- retary of the American assoclation. He said that while official action was vet to be taken by the executive com- mittee of the association, there was no doubt that the challenge Would be ac- cepted. Mr Hazard recelved notifica- tion /by cable Friday night that the challenge had been mailed, and the| executive committee will take official action upon its receipt. Great interest has been aroused at| London by the challenge sent by the| Hurlingham polo club to the American | polo assoclation to play a serles of | games for the America cup. Bight or 10 of England's best/players will come [ to the United States, so that there will be plenty of men on hand in case of accident. The team under the cap-| taincy of Walter S. Buckmaster will probably be selected from Lord Wode- | house, Capt. G. E. Belville, Capt.| Leslie St. C. Cheape, Capt. J. Har-| dress Lloyd, Capt. R. G. Ritson and F.| M. Freake, while Capt. F. St. J. At- kinson and B. A. B. Screfber with one! or two other players will be asked to | | make the trip. All these players have been members of different teams in the tournaments this summer, but in! order to put them more together they will engage in a great deal of practice| next spring at Eaton, Eng. | Under the new agreement the matches will, it is understood, be played between June 1 and July 8, or! a8 soon thereafter as the weather permits, so that the British team will| not have much time in America before the matches are played. The duke of Westminster, who will defray the en- tire cost of the British team's visit to America, has a good istable, but is| still on the lookout for more good! ponies, while it is probable that others will be loaned for the Anglo- American matches. H. Payne Whitney with other American players were in Eng- | land during the summer, and were said | to be on the lookout for good ponies. | The papers made an appeal to BEng- lish owners to give the duke of West- minster the first refusal of any horses for sale. English polo men express themselves as confident of winning the inter- | national games in America. Some| of the team have wonderful records. ‘Walter S. Buckmaster acquired fame the old Cantables team, the winners of the Hurlington cup last| summer. Capt. Cheape was a great, player with the team in 1911, and Capt. Ritson has a fine Indian repu- fation. & s "7 THE FOOTBALL STARS, Some Selections of Best Players in the ! West and South.

Seven hundred miles will be absolutely new road in the northern part of the state. be done in the winter. California enjoys not only the great- est per capita automobile ownership | in the country, but stands fourth in the use of commercial vehicles. Sta- tistics show that the Golden State has | | 2198 motor wagons and trucks used in busingss pursuits, only New York and | Illinois ang Pennsylvania having more. With the completion of the projected new garages in the downtown distr Los Angeles will have an automobile storage equipment equaling that of any city in the country. There fs room at present for from 1500 to 2000 cars. When the new buildings are finished the space will be practically doubled. Entries for the 1913 grand prix, which the Automobile club of France is to hold, have been coming in a little too slowly to suit the French enthusiasts, | and in order to quiet any rumors of the calling off of the event the club re- cently announced that it is to be held | no matter how few entries are receiv- ed by the closing date, the race is to be run. St. Paul, Minn., through its assocts- tion of commerce, announces that t has organized its own asphalt paving | department, and will save enough this season to pay the mayor’s salary and all his office expenses. It is estimated that 16 per cent. is being ‘saved om paving and that the city has succeed- ed in blocking a paving and asphalt pool which had been organized to fleece the city on its street work. More than $25,000 has been added to the Indtanapolis city treasury this year by automobile licenses. On January 1, 1912, there were 188 miles of paved streets in the city. Since that date contracts for paving streets have been awarded amounting to about $500,000. Street cleaning this year will cost the city $120,000,000, repairing and main- taining unimproved streets $55,000, and repairing paved streets $85,000. Following a _remewed clmp.ign against the smoking automobile the police of New York city have become suddenly critical of the wakes of au- tomobiles and have developed unusual energy in enforcing the antismoke or- dinance. As a result, in one day 33 drivers were summoned to appear be- fore various courts and fines amount- ing to $230 were assessed in amouhts varying from-§1 to $10. The next day 55 more men were summoned. Only 36 per cent. of the licensed automobile drivers in Alabama are white. Negroes seem to have an estab- lished place in_the field. This is the result of, the lower wage for which they will‘accept the service. fhe av- erage age of chauffeurs is 32 years, only two men in the state having 1i- censes who are over 830 years of age. The average height among the 3224 men holding licenses is 5 feet 9 inches, The average weight is 160 pouns. Paris is to be thoroughly meterized. Already the fire brigade is under or- Sur- | veying, stumping and sand hauling will | | ders to dispose of all horses, motor en- | ginés having been contracted for; the | hospitals use motor ambulances, motor hearses and motor cars are used in {funeral processions, the horse-drawn police vans have given way to motor- driven vehicles, and motor cars by the dozen are now at the disposal of the Parls gendarmes jn the event of an | emergency calling for a quick move. It is-expected that the new ruling by the United States credit department, relating to automobilists crossing the Mexican and Canadian borders, the ef- fect of which s that there shall be no | duty charged on the cars, the only re- | quirement being that the machines must be inspected, will result in a great increase in this class of travel into Mexico. The new ruling fixes six months as the time limit set on this free return of 4he cars into the United States. The resistance offered by the air to the passage of a car is considerable, when the machine is traveling at any speed. For instance, at 15 miles an hour there is a pressure of 1.1 pound fo revery square foot of head area: at 25 mbles an hour there is a trifle over three pounds pressure pér square fot: at 40 miles there is a pressure of 7.87 pounds: at 50 miles 128 pounds: at 75 miles 37.7 pounds, and at 100 miles an hour the pressure is 49.02 pounds per aquare foot. Constantly waging their battle for' business in all parts of the world, demonstrating conclusively that mod- erate priced cars can stand up under the meverest conditions, American builders of automobiles are constantly widenening their field of activity, Java and other islands of the Dutch East Indies, where American cars have been - slower than in other patts of | the globe in getting a foothold, are |swinging into line and asking for American cars. The movement looking toward the opening, of the national parks to au- tomobiles is still going on, and if there is - anything in perservance success should crown the efforts of the motor- ists at Iast. Out in California the trade and owners are especially Interested in the opening of the Yosemite national park; and they are lining up in an im- posing concerted effort. The action is shortly to be concentrated upon Walter L. Fisher, secretary of the de- partment of the interior, who is to re- turn.from a trip to Honolulu shortly. The new state registration law of Arizona is mow in effect. Under its provisions every owner of a_motor Vi hicle must register each machine in the office of the secretary of state. A com- plete description of each car, including the name of the maker, factory num- ber, style and motor power, must be given. ~The registration fee is §5 for a machine of 40 horse power or less, A. L. A. M, rating. The motorcycle tax is placed at $2. The law does away with city numbers, which have here- tofore been the source of much con- tusion, But now the trend is going strong- Iy for American cars of moderate price, according to P. J. Janssen of Sam- arang, Java, who is at present in America, having purposely made the trl pto study Ameri car condi- tions and make a decision on a car ‘which would meet the demand in Jarva, Sumatra, the Clebes, etc. The trip resulted in Mr. Janssen's closing with the R-C-H corporation for ex- clusivé selling rights for the R-C-H in d's . squth sea m ‘with an immediate P Ly it order for a number of cars widch probably creates a new record for first shipment to the islends, There has been much discussion and a'great difference o fopinion comcern ing the law relative to automobiles and other vebicles passing street cars; that 1s, on which side of the car the automobile or vehicle should pass. James Hagerman, Jr., prestdemt of te Automoblle club members of St. Louls, on behalf of the olub members, ask- ed for a ruling om this point. The eity law dapartment of St Louls ruled as follow on this ordloances “It I & violation of the law for an-automebile or other vehicle to paas & street car on the left” The dapertment rules that & street car i8 not regarded as & ve- hicle in the ordinance, and that the eld law of the road does not apply to fhat case. Automobiles and all other ve- hicles must pass a4 street car om e right During the 1911 season, the imperts of Italian automoblles to the Unfted States was valued at J156.768 as against $295,013 in 1910 and $674,998 1908. There i no doubt that the es- tablishment of an American factory by one Itallan maker had an inflwence in reducing the figures. The decrease fn €xports, however, was offset by the ex- tending of other markets so that dur- ing 1911 Itallan makers in Turin turned out 328 more cars than in 1518, This means a substantial increase for the Itallan industry, the size of which may be judged by the fact that im the Turin factories 4285 cars wers turned out in 1911 and 3907 in 1996, Six thousand workmen were employ~ ed in bullding these cars. Of '1 pleasure cars over 75 per cent, wers of the small car type, the chassis be- ing what is known as the taxicab type.
