SPORTING NOTES. Satisfaction was expressed by foot- ball coaches throughout the country with the war department's stand in favor of the continuation of intercol- legiate athletics and its statement last Benny Leanard Wins Six Round Bort Friday that it will encourage the playing of the 1918 football schedulaes instead of demanding their abandon- ment. By breaking 156 targets again last Friday F. M, Troeh, Vancouver, B. C., annexed the high amateur average in"the close of the third day's cvents of the annual Westy Hogan shoot. His total for three days was 469 out of a possible 480. He had a straight run of 111 in his string yesterday. George Whiteman, who divided one of the Red Sox outfield positions with Babe Ruth, was the brightest star of the world’s series. In twenty times at bat he secured four singles and & triple from the Chicago moundsmen, and saved at least two games by mar- velous catches in the fleld. His hit in the final game of the series—a scorch- ing liner that Max Flack dropped, and two runners crossed the plate— brought the game and titular honors to the Beantowners. . Charlie Hollocher. the pride of the Cubs’ infield, expected to show up Scott. proved a bad flivver. He hit for .190, ge‘ting three of his four hits in cne game and his fislding was not as_remarkable as that of Scottie. Rabe Ruth appeared in three games of the world's series games and came to bat five times. He got one hit, a thunderous triple that won a game, but his average was .200. He looked better as a pitcher than he did as a hitter, winning two of his team’s four games. arl Mavs won the other two, pitching fine ball.

New York, Sept. 16.—In a dull and| featureless session of the stock mar- | ket today the restricted money situa- | tion overshadvwed the political signifi- cance of the Austrian and German peace overtures. After a steady opening, interpreta- tive of a continued check of the re- cent liquidation, and of satisfactory war news, sharp recessions developed few of the speculative issues, no- American Sumatra Tobacco, which suffered a decline of ceven points during the day to 107 1-3, its lowest in many mofiths. Thereafter, speculation of a_highly irregular character materialized, vari- ous issues being pushed up substan- tially, with, however, a degree of cau- tion in the buying, investment traders not being disposed to follow up prices eagerly. The so-called peace shares, as stan- dard rails, gave a good account of themselves, notably Southern Pacific and Northern Pacific. Steels and equipmerts were dominated by inter- mittent selling of U. S. Steel, which, offered freely, declined about a point, with similar loss in affiliated proper- ties. During final dealinzs the trend was generally downward on realiza- tion of profits and on speculative sell- ing of U. S, Steel. Sales were 240,000 shares. Bonds held well with some slight improvement in foreign issues. Lib- erty bonds were inclined to yield. T :al sales, par value, aggregated $8,150, 000. U.

CHRISTIAN &CI ENTISTS AID ALL IN SERVICE Christian Science camp welfare work is now being carried on in forty-five army and navy camps in the United States under direction of the Christian S nce War Relief and Camp Welfare Committee of the rst Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston. There are at present about seventy men and fifteen women en-| gaged in this work, the women serv- ing mainly as welfare room attend- ants. Conducted at the camp merged w which the' first welfare h independently, work has been the war relief work istian Scientists were doing in foreign countries before the | Uniteq States entered the war. For both these purposes about one million been raised. The aim of the Christian Science camp workers is to be as helpful possible to ail the men in the camps, whether or not they are Christian Scientists, and particularly to give| assistance which may not be av: able at the time or piace through any of the other camp welfare agencies. A feature of this phase of the work is an arrangement for keeping soldiers and sailors in close touch with their relatives. Co-operating with the committee in Boston, there is a Christian Science camp welfare committee in each state. The committee in the home state of a soldier or sailor co- optrates by mail and telegraph with | the committee of the state in which he is camped or stationed to form a direct and constant link between the soldier or sailor and his relativi Thereby the relatives are quickl made acquainted with needs of their boy in the service, and he is provided | with an avenue of quick communica- | tion with his home. This linking of home and camp, combined with the personal attention | of the Christian Science workers in the camps, has frequently been the means of changing a soldier’s outlook | from one of gloom to one of joy, and | not infrequently it has proved fo be the means of relieving relatives of financial embarrassment, the com- mittee in the home state making loans | for usc by the relatives until their boy in camp should be prepared to forward money to them. | The net result, for which the| Christian Science committees and! camp workers have received many | commmendations, has been a no-| ticeable raising of the morale of Bulletin’s Pattern Service 2453 —2462 AN ATTRACTIVE COSTUME FOR OUTING OR SPORTS.

The camp workers say there is an increased willingriess among the com- manding officers and surgeons to al- low Christian Science treatment for those men who ask for it, and many Christian Science healings have been recorded. Recently, two requests for Christian Science services in hos- pital wards were received by camp workers from medical nurses who had observed the beneficial ~effects - of Christian Science treatment, In or near numerous camps, the Christian Science Committees have erected substantial _buildings, . with quiet places for reading and writing, and other buildings are in course of construction.

BAN ON EXTENSIVE BUILDING Owing to the fact that a ban has been put on all unnecessary building operations where the construction cost is over $2500 there is little build- ing of note being done in the, city. Many contracts which called for large buildings for different manufacturers and private individuals have been can- by the contractors as a result of the government order.

The priorities division of the war industries board has received from the principal manufacturers of building materials a_pledge of co- operation in preventing the use of these materials for unauthorized non- essential construction. These manu- facturers have exacted similar pledges from their customers who purchase for resale. To secure building materials from these patriotic dealers and man- ufacturers, the individual contemplat- ing the construction must have a per- mit for the work. J. E.

Statistics of real estate transactions in the cities reported in The Com- mercial Record show a smaller volume f business for the weels than for the iike week of 1917. Sales by warranty deed numbered 360 for the week, against 43) last year. In the volume of mortgage loans, however, the com- is more favorable, the total for the week being $1,023,700, com- pared with $1,189,600 a year ago. The record of new incorparttions in this state continues to show the effect of restrictions imposed by the government as to the channels into which money shall be directed. But four new companies are reported fof the week, with authorized capital of $145,000. 'This is in marked contrast to the vears 1915 and 1916, when new companies were formed with capital stock of $3,3810,000 and $1,348,500 re- spectively. Business mortality continues at a low ebb, only three petitions in.bank- ruptey being filed in this state during the week, with liabilities of $17,619 and assets of $7,328.
