Baltimore , Md. , Dec. 9. That ther
is a possibility that the next period c
great industrial activity in this cour

able to carry the greatly augmente
burden impressed upon them , and tha
their partial failures to meet the siti

southern and western states and rai

TRADE REVIEW OF WEEK
Expansion in Holiday Trade Flrme
Prices for Steel.
New York , Dee. 9. Brad street's t (
day says :
"Expansion in holiday trade , earlic
than usual sales by jobbers whic
have attracted numerous buyers ,
seasonably good trade in staple line
at retail , notwithstanding higher ten
perature , firmer prices for finishc
steel and activity in pig iron were I ;
vorablo developments of the weel
The wholesale trade has become souv
what slow , partly on account of tli
approaching holidays , while salesmc
are elng gradually withdrawn froi
the road. Spring is still marked b
more or less conservatism , souther
points being especially conspicuous i
this respect. Fair activity Is noted i
dry goods for future delivery , revi
ions of bleached cottons have serve
to bring out a pretty good volume c
business , and mills making heav
goods have liberal orders , but irreg' '
lurity in prices on cotton yarns loae
to the belief that commission house
are carrying rather largo stocks. O
dors for dress goods for spring , it
said , are for the finer grades , while
similar statement comes from man
factures of men's wear. Leather
quiet but strong in price. In jewelr
inquiry seems to bo for the cheapc
grades. Pig Iron is active , but price
remain low , though quotations on fi
Ished steel tend to harden , tliero beir
a conservative belief that the corm
has been turned. However , it Is reco
nizd that some weeks must elapse b
fore definite views as to sustalne
higher prices can be formed.
"Business failures in the Unite
States for the week ending Dec.
were 267 , against 216 last week , 267 1

CREAM OF COUNTRY'S ATHLETES
ENTERED IN MEET.
RECORDS MAY BE SMASHED
With All Cracks Competing Some Old
Marks Will Surely Go Event May
Have Bearing on Pick for the 1912
Olympic Team.
The nppioaeh of the national Indoor
ihamploiiships of the Amateur Alb-
ettc union , which will bo held in New
York lec 'J i and 21 , lias brought up
ng.iln the question. Who are the beM
ithlctcs and what will bo the makeup
if the American team In the Olympic
games next summer ?
Although some men perform better
and some vvor.se on a wood floor than
MEL snnrpAnn , wno MAY NOT BE ABL
TO MAKE OIA'MI'IO TEAM ,
they do out of doors , nevertheless 1
will be possible to get a good line o
the eligible Olympic timber when th
December events take place.
There will be probably the greatcs
list of athletes competing that ever ei
tered ono meet Indoors.
In the sprint races there are thro
men entered who may be members c
the Olympic team. They are Alva
Meyer , Hobby Cloughen and Jim Ii
Penberger of the Irish-Americans. A
of these on a good outdoor track hav
done the hundred as fast as ten pei
onds. It will be a great three cornerc
tilt when they pound their way towar
the tape.
A remarkable array is entered In tli
middle distance contests. Jim McI2i
te > e of the West Side Youug Men
Christian association , New York , is e :
pected to show his best form. He is
wonder on a board track and may tali
the measure of Harry Glsslng , Fric
and Bergman of the New Yorks , Ho
land and Tcrvvllliger of the Pastime
and Jim Kosenberger of the Irlsl
\mericans. If "Peerless Mel" She ]
parcl Is allowed to compete he will , e
course , be the favorite In these event
but his recent dishonorable dlscbart
from the Twenty-second regiment
likely to cause his disqualification b
the Amateur Athletic union , and. It ;
even possible that he may be forbli
den to represent America in the Olyn
pif contests at Sweden.
George Bonhag having retired froi
the game , it seems certain that tl
races over a milo will bo easy fc
Frank Kramer of the Long Tsland Atl
Iptlc club and John Daly of the Iris !
Americans , with Louis Scott of tl
New Yorks as the dark horso.
The Kller brothers , Jack and Bob , e
the Irish-Americans , seem to have tli
hurdles between them. In the Jumr
and pole vaults there are such stars r
Oler. Jennings. Grumpelt , Fleldlni
Poiter. Kvvry. Aucrne and Platt A (
ams , all of the Now York A. C. Tl :
Mercury foot club seems to have
"corner" on the good jumping mi
terhil. Kncli ono of them is an Olyn
pic possibility. The weight events wi
call out mon the caliber of McGratl
Sheridan. Duncan. McDonald , Walsl
Elliott and Hrcdd , all strong nominee
for the Olympic team.
Truly a great crop of spike she
artists is being conditioned for tl
big Indoor occasion of the year , nnd
Is more than likely that the winners i
all of the events will bo included I
the personnel of the American athlet
army that Invades Stockholm.
But there are others. Many collef
athletes , who because of their studh
are unnblo to make the trip to No
York for the Indoor "champs. " hav
qualified themselves for conslderatic
by their recent achievements.
Prompt and buslncas-HKo answe
to those "help wanted" ads which lex
like"prospects" to you , will alma
surely re-establish "pay-day" for yo
Advertising so good as to appeal
usually indifferent folks will make ni
store take a sudden "jump" into prc
parity.

HELP MALI
CHANGES HAVE WORKED WOfv
DERS IN OPENING UP GAME.
SPEED IS THE ESSENTIAL TODA'
Gridiron Warrior of the Present is o
a Somewhat Different Type Fror
That of Years Ago New Gam
Calls for All Around Men.
That the new football rules nav <
been a boon to the popular sport 01
the gridiron rather than a drawback
us some people argue. Is the opinion o
many former football stars who hav
put in actual service at the game am
who have studied the question of eland <
and new football from various angles.
Speaking of the game in Its inodcn
form , Lyle Pettijohn , one of the great
cst football players that ever donned i
uniform at Minnesota , has a few thing
to say.
"Much lias been said pro and con re
garding the changes which have bcei
wrought in the game of football sine
the introduction of the 'open * plays ,
says the former Gopher star.
"There are a number of points whlc
serve to distinguish the game of toda ;
from that which was played seven o
eight yc/ir ago and prior to that time
So far as the playing rules are con
cerned the following list comprise
most of the changes : First , forwan
pass ; second , oiislde kicks t o called )
third , no pushing or pulling of tn
runner by his teammates- : fourth , tei
yards to gain In three downs ; fiftl
seven men on the line of scrimmage
Mxth , direct pass from center to rur
ner.
ner."These changes have done wonder
toward opening the game up and in
proving It from the spectator's stam ;
point. But they have also altered , ii :
tluenced and improved the game fror
the player's standpoint almost if no
quite as much as from that of the spee
tator.
"The game today is similar to am
at the same time different from th
old game. The element of speed i
more essential today , that of weigh
somewhat less so. Strength and en
durance were necessary under the eli
rules and aio necessary now , but th
quality of each which is required i
of a different kind. The advantag
of brute strength is less noticeable
that of concentrated and quickly ar
piled power more so , while the eiielur
mice required is more a matter of Inn ;
capacity than of muscular resistance
"These necess-ary qualifications hav
grown into the game during the tim
it has been undergoing the above notei
alterations , and the football player o
today Is , as a general rule , a dlfferen
sort of athlete from the gridiron wai
rlor of years ago.
"Injuries , while they may occur dm
ing n game , arc perhaps more Infrc
qnent and less dangerous than In for
mer days. The game today calls fo
more reckless individual effort by th
man carrying the ball , more speed am
greater dodging ability.
"Tackling , blocking and interference
form a big part in the work of n lean
under the present system of play.
"Tackling Is less spectacular , and o
all the points which have been al
fected by the changes It seems to b
the only one w hlch has suffered.
"On the whole. It may be said tlm
the players of today are required ti
be better nil around men than thel
predecessors were. Where each posl
tlon formerly called for the possessloi
of some especial quality or qualltie
every position today calls for the po
session of all the said qualities. Tuck
ling alone seems to have dcterioratec !
All the otlfl'r points which went ti
make up the successful player In tin
old game have an enhanceel value Ii
the makeup of the player of the present
ent day. The forward pass and othc
uew features have made the gam
what it now Is-a fast , hard , rei
blooded game which requires nerve
speed , strength and endurance on th
part of every one who participates , In
stead of developing some qualities am
neglecting others , according to the no
sitlon to be played.
"The similarity of the old and nev
games la equally well marked. The 1)1 ) ,
man has the same advantages as for
racrly , provided he combines with hi
size the other necessary qualities
Weight is n big factor , and strengtl
and endurance will always be feature"
But the new game calls for a mor
general development of them nil. "

would have furnished an excellent linen

After the Yale game the Arm

banks of the Hudson. They neede
another hard game before the ono wit
the Navy.
But the Annapolis cloven , too , looke
to have an easy schedule after th
Princeton game. But the game wit
Pcnn State helped put the eleven o

The two teams have met fiftce
