NEW YORK MONEY.
New York, Sept. 28.—As a result of the
holidays in New York City, an amount
of money not easy to calculate will come
Into the banks here, and while this Is
uncertain, there U no qdestlon that Its
effect will increase the current supply of
cash. The goM engaged for mport will
not arrive In time to figure in the next
statement but the imports and the rising
| national bank clrculai on figures show at
least the general trend of the situation,
and what may 'be expected in ihe near fu-
ure, The demands for remittance to tho
Interior are not Increasing and while in-
terior winks have doubtless loaned heav-
ily here, it is not expected that these
funds will operate to the disadvantage of
local Institutions onco the pressure Is
over. At about this season every year
reserves In New York begin to recuperate
and it is only natural to look for the us-
ual recovery from this time on. Unless
all signs fail, therefore, it may "bo -set
down that the critical point In the fall
money movement has been weathered.
This does not mean, jpecesBarily. that
money rates will strike an xeceptlonally
low rate soon. ,4

1874 was married to Miss Maggie Asz-
mus at Linn Creek. He came to Guth-
rie In 1W1. He was a lawyer by pro-
fession. but for much of the time of
late years has not been active in this
calling, because of defective health.
He was a courteous Christian gentle-
man. and passes out from our midst
esteemed and regretted by a larg
cle of acquaintances His
with sij straight victories and no de- ability to liandl the
fc-ats. His work, instead of entitllug ■
him to rank 11 ret among the pitchers of
the league, has been so unsatisfactory
that the listen club has given him his
release. He established the base-on-
balIs record by sending fourteen men
to first In eight inning . and on sev-
eral occobIous ban filled the basea
through lack of control. Fortunately
for his record the superior work at his
team-mates st the bat and in the field
have saved him f-om being charged
with a defeat. The best test of a
pitcher's ability that can be reduced to
figures Is the percentage of earned runs
off hia delivery through base hits and
bases on balls, wild pitches and balks.

tional league pitcher, but his splendid j £

Home latent Newded.
Tne minor leagues of lower classifi-
cation must reduce their respective
salary limits next season and employ
a large quota of home talent. That
Is the only way that they can be oper-
ated on a paying basis. There are a
number of promising players in e\ery
city in the country, who will play ball
home life i for a nominal salary in order to secure
Enid Wave: Over In Terry the farmer
j tells the dealer that In Enid he could
I get from 2 to 3 rents per bushel more
j for his wheat. In Enid they say they
could get for ml to
>m engagement and thus get before the
public. With a few experienced pro-
; feialonals to steady them and instruct
them in points of the game, some of
tl.em will develop Into good players.
The presence of home talent will awak-
en civic pride in each team and the in-
batting and fielding wnile playing left
field in Capt. Duffy's place entitle him j
to remain in the major league.
Wonderful Itan-Ciot ter.
William K. Hamilton, the center-
fielde/ of the lloston c!ub, is truly one
of the marvels of base ball. This is i ;
his tenth year in the National league,
and fourth with tho Bostons, and hia ,
record in these ten years in all that
goes to make a run-getter batting and , j
base running—has not been equaled by
any living player. Other players have
outranked him some o' these years,
but none have averaged so high as he.
It is a treat to 6it behind the plate '
during a g me in which Hamilton is a j
participant and observe the wonderful
ckill and Judgment of the man at the

a club in a city in which the attend-
ance is not sufficient to meet the guar-
antee to the rifiiting team. Yet it is
done every year until the club oecomes
so involved that it can not pay its
players The rivalry between cities is
bo great that the salary limit of a
minor league is seldom observed. If
on" manager goes beyond the limit, the
others are forced to do likewise and
the result Is ruin for all. This Is the
cause of the collapse of every league
which has been wrecked this year.
