SMALL SUPPLY NEXT YEAR HOE HITS FEW AMD FAR APART .Quakers Profit by Wildness Early in Game, but Later Boston Pitcher Pases None and Is Puzzle Save In 8th. BOSTON', Oct. 12. Pitcher Shore, who lost his battle with Alexander In Phila delphia last Friday, was loudly cheered ss he took the hurling- mound to open the game. He served up a ball to Btock, lead-off man for Philadelphia, team. He then shot over two strikes and. after another ball was called, (stock ripped a hit down the left field loul line. Duffy Lewis, by hard sprinting, fielded the ball quickly as Stock was digging out for second. Lewie made a fine throw to Scott and the Phila delphia runner was nipped as he rushed into the -bag. The Boston outfielder was cheered for his neat piece of work. Shoie, in trying to keep the ball ro the edge of the plate, gave Bancroft four balls and Banny walked. With two balls and two strikes on Paskert, Bancroft streaked to second for a Bteal. Bancroft Safe on Steal. Cady made a good throw to Barry nd the runner was clearly out, but in the mixup at the bag, the ex-Mac man dropped the ball on an excusable error and Bancroft was safe. Paskert struck out and Shore completely fooled Gav-vy" Cravath, who also fanned the ir. Chalmers then made his debut as a world's series pitcher and started out in fine style. He made short work of Hooper, first man up for the Red Sox, triking him out on five pitched balls. He did even better on Scott, fanning him on four offerings. Tris Speaker, however, was a tougher proposition. "Spoke" waited patientl and was rewarded w-ith a base on balls, fcut was out trying to steal, on a per- lect throw by Lddie Burns to ffiehoff. Hoblitzi-1 had had a strike when the attempted steal ended the inning. I.iiderun Hits Kirst Time Up. Captain Luderus, the Milwaukee slug Fer, sent a hot single to right field in the second inning. He went to second in Whitted's sacrifice, the play on TVhitted being Hoblitzel to Barry. Nie hoff, who tried hard to bring his cap tain home, sent up a high foul fy to Cad y. Shore could not get them over for T.ddie Burns, with the result that the little catcher walked on four straight balls. Chalmers struck out, leaving the two runners on the bags. Hoblitzel. in Boston's second half, took the limit on balls and strikes and then fanned, Chalmers' third strikeout In four outs. The crowd, remembering Lewis' great work yesterday, gave him u round of applause as he stepped into the batters' box. Chalmers' third pitch looked good to the batter, but he hit It weakly to the pitcher and was thrown out. Paskert gathered in Gard ner's long fly, ending the inning. Shore Pawira Banny Twice. Shore showed to better advantage in the third inning. Stock grounded out, Gardner to Hoblitzel. The Boston twiiler momentarily lost the location of the plate in pitching to Bancroft, witli the result that four of his five piches were bad ones, and the Quaker fcatter went to first for the second time. Paskert's stay at the plate was brief, as he struck out again. Then Cravath duplicated the long-fly-out which he made yesterday when he polled a tremendous drive to Lewis, who had to go back almost to the fence to take the ball. This out ended the Inning. The American Leaguers broke the ice in their h i!f of ihe third inning. Barry waited out Chalmers and received a buse on balls. Then Boston got a lucky break. Caily. in attempting to sacrifice, bunted the ball toward Chalmers, who, in trying to field it. slipped and fell upon it. Before he could recover him oelf Barry was safe at second and Cady on ffrst- The play counted a hit for the latter. ' I nipire Changes Decision. With one strike on Shore, Chief Um pire hlvans suddenly waved both run ners to advance a base on a balk. In stantly the Philadelphia infield and Chalmers started to run in to protest, but as they did so livans called in Um pire Kiglor. who was officiating on the bases. The result was that the balk was not allowed, as Rigler indicated that Chalmers was not on the pitcher's siao wnen he apparently made a mo tion to throw to first, Evans sent both runners back. Shore laid down a sacrifice and was out. Stock to Niehoff. Barry and Cady advancing. Hooper then pushed an ugly bounder, to the infield. Niehoff ran in on the hall, and batted it down, but ho was unable to check either of the runners, Barry scoring the Sox initial run and Cady going to third. It was a scratchy hit, but the Boston fans nevertheless were overjoyed to have tliair team break into the run col umn, for Chalmers was pitching a fine sutiele of ball. Scott sent a high foul fly that Whitted got by good sprinting und held Cady and Hooper on the bases. .Speaker was called upon to bring home another run but he offered Luderus an easy grounder and was out at first. Chalmers Kails In Pinch. The Phillies got two men on bases In the fourth inning. After Luderus had lied out to Hooper. Whitted. with three and two on him, bounced a grounder to Soott and was thrown out. Both Lu derus and Whitted had attempted ' to , bunt Shore's first pitch and both re sulted in little pop fouls out of the reach of the infielders and the Boston battery. Niehofr. who had not yet made a hit in the series, saw first base for the first time when Shore served him with four bad balls. Burns put him on second with a single to right field. Again Chalmers came up in a pinch and ended the inning by shooting a. scorch ing grounder to Scott, who snapped the ball to Gardner, forcing Niehoff at third. It was a very neat play. Uoblipto! opened the Red Sox" fourth inning auspiciously with a safe drive to center field. He advanced to sec ond on Lewis' sacrifice. Chalmer. to Niehoff. amid much cheering. There be- was left, however, for Gardner was out on a long fly to hitted. and Har. ry's skyscraper settled into Paskert's hands. Pitcher In Great lorm. notn pitcners were going in true championship form by this time. Each had yielded only three hits. Chalmers was the steadier, having given two bases on balls to Shore's four up to the end of the fourth Inning. Shore after that did not allow any of the Quakers to walk. Stock, first up for the'Moran men In the fifth, flied out to Lewis, who made a pretty catch of the ball within a few inches of the ground. Shore pitched three bad balls to Bancroft. lor T'T" - 2?.: X 2 , - Copyright by Underwood & Underwood. SNAPSHOT SHOWING TRIS SPEAKER, OK THE RED SOX. SLIDING INTO HOME PLATE.

Hoblitzel shot another single to center field and came home on Lewis' two-base drive that rolled to the left-field fence. Whitted, by fast sprinting, made a quick return of the ball, which deprived Lewis of what looked like a three-bagger. The odd run put the Boston rooters in good numor, ana tney called to Gardner to send Lewis home. Gardner, however. raised a fly to Paskert, and Barry was thrown out by Chalmers. As the seventh inning began, the brass band In the grandstand played "The Star-Spangled Banner." Players TJncover at Anthem. The 41,000 people in the stands un covered as did also the players and the umpires. Burns was an easy out, Scott to Hoblitzel.

He made the third base easily be fore Speaker raised the hopes of the Philadelphia fans by shooting his third single of the game to center field, on which Crabath romped home with the Phillies' solitary run.

The Phillies were quickly disposed of in the final inning. Niehoff was thrown out by Gardner, and Burns raised a high fly to Scott.

STOCK QUOTATIONS TO BE IN DOLLARS Change Made In ItuJes of New York Ex change. "When the Stock Exchange opens tomor row certain favorite stocks will apparently be halved in value, but In reality there will be no change In their worth. Thua Reading, Pennsylvania and "Weetinghouse, selling - ao., in ana j ds win do listed at SO i, 08 and 89 respectively, unless there be the usual variation In quotations over a holiday. The reason for this Is found in an an nouncement made at the Stock Exchange today asserting that certain amendments to the constitution had been approved, almost unanimously, by the members. One of these amendments provided for quoting all stocks In terms of dollars instead of points, as heretofore. Reading, Pennsylvania and Westinghouae. together with a number of other issues, axe of S50 par value, but have been quoted on a JOO-point basis In the past. In the future they will be quoted in terms of dollars, which apparently halves their values. Another amendment provides for a charge of one-half the broker's commission of one eighth of 1 per cent or $12.60 per hundred shares for buying or selling stock quoted under $10 a share. On tlx so issues, which include Missouri Pacific, ICanaaa & Texas, American Malting Rumley. St. Louts & San Francisco, Wabash, Iowa Central and Wheeling & Luke Erie, the brokers fee hereafter will be $6.25 per hundred shares. The decision of odd lot dealers to return to their usual charge of one-eighth of 1 per cent above the market in selling frac tional amounts of stocks (uncfer 10O shares), also- will go into effect tomorrow. For sev eral days the charge has been one-quarter of 1 per cent. This proved to be unpopular i and some dealers are said to have lost busi ness, hence the reversion to the former scale.

A sold and silver elborium, set with a large diamond and valued at S2000, was stolen from Father Schoener at the time of the fire which destroyed his residence and church, according to the report which was made to the cit7 detective bureau yesterday by J. A Currey. 194 North Thirtieth street. Father Schoener is said to have car ried the vessel out with some other valuable articles and left them lying; near the burning; buildings. In the commotion someone carried it away. The elborium is said to have been i part ot the exhibit of the German kov ernment at the world's fair in Chicago in 1893. and to have received a. first prize. It was later presented. to Father Schoener , British Government Lareely In creases Its Demands on Calcutta. Mills Restrictions on Ship ments From India. The prospects of securing grata bags tor the 1016 season, at least from the present outlook. Is not bright. Calcutta reports the jute crop about two-thirds of normal. Ocean freights are hlghor and scarcer than ever. The British government haa added 20 per cent more to Its order already placed of 150.000.oOO yards of burlap for October December shipment from Calcutta. la addition to this quantity of cloth. It was reported that England has also taken 150.000.000 burlap bags. This Is practically six times more than is used on the entire Pacific Coast for sacking wheat, oats, bar ley, potatoes, rice and other commodities. There remains less than 50,000.000 yards per month, for October-December shipment from Calcutta to supply not only the East snd West Coast of the United states, but South America, all the British colonies and neutral countries. The usual average monthly shipments to all countries Is about 9O.OOO.0OO yards, of which eO.0O0.0OO yards go to the East Coast of the United Statea The August shipments from Calcutta to East Coast ports were lessv than 40.000.000 yards and It la predicted that not exceed ing 2O.CO0.000 yards per month will be available the remainder of the year. There are severe restrictions to the ship ments or Calcutta wheat bags for the 1016 season. Since the British government has virtually undertaken the supervision of the Jute mills It Is necessary to Include In all contracts with Calcutta the Government war clause, which reads: Obligations of the sellers under this contract are subject, to the laws, regula tions, actions, interventions, etc. of the tJritlsn and Indian governments or the results thereof. Any act of war or mobili sation or government interference which af fects shipments does not invalidate, but merely suspends this contract until such time as goods can be shipped." Contracts are also made conditional sub ject to "freight space available and sub ject to war risk extra and any change in inuian export tariff for buyers' account." It can bo clearly seen that any Importer will incur grave risks In selling grain bags unless such restrictions are included In local contracts. Heretofore importers had the privilege of cancelling contracts If ship ments were not made within contract dates. but now even if shipments are dclaved three or four months, the importer must take delivery when shipments can be made. It is expected that burlap orders will not be affected so much as bag orders, for the government requirements are for bags and the Calcutta mills sewing capacity la I verely taxed. In addition to all the complications con fronting Importers before goods are even snipped from rndla. there is still the serl ous shortage of available vessels to trans port burlap and bags to the Paclflo Coast ports. The withdrawal of American .and Canadian lines means heavy congestion' of rreight and in spite of special efforts to overcome this trouble, freight has piled up in the American and Oriental ports. At times from 75.0OO to S5.0OO tons of freight were offered In ports of the Fsr East without vessels to accept It, in ordinary years previous to the war there has been available for transpacific transportation of freight a total tonnage of at least S3U.0OO tons in vessels bound from the Orient to Pacific Coast ports, or equal to 1.VS steamers per year. After the outbreak of the war there were reductions In the tonnage which left only about 684, 000 tons per year, or about 115 steamers per year, and with the withdrawal of the Pacific Mall lines, which practically re moved the American flag from the Pacific Ocean, the Japanese lines are obtaining enormous trade and may discriminate against foreign shippers to the benefit of their own commodities by confining their csrgo space offerings in all ships of Jap anese lines to Japanese ports until such ports are fully served. This was the policy adopted by the Japanese government dur ing the past Spring and Summer. WHEAT FARMERS HOLDING FTRMX.Y Growers Are Independent 1 id Anticipata Hotter Prices. The Merchants Exchange u closed yes terday on account of the holiday. The coun try wheat markets were also quiet. Grain farmers In the Interior are holding their m-heat firmly In anticipation of higher prices. They have followed this policy for the first two months of the season and are well satisfied with the results. As most hf them are Independent they are not likely to upset values hy a general selling move ment. As an Indication of the way sup plies are being held back In the country It is cited that on the lines of the Spokane & Inland Railway there a no now 1.868.676 bags of wheat, against 940,000 bags at this time last year. The barley market Is also firm at all points. White barley sales are reported from the Lewlston country at equal to 1 16 on the Coast. Broorahall In his weekly International re view eays: "The general position of the market Is about nnohanged with the undertone strong and an advancing tendency. "The evidence Is becoming tncreaslnslv plain that the world's supply of wheat will be abundant for the season, and the ab normally large receipts in both the United States and Winnipeg of Spring wheat in dicate that the period of scarcity Is sbout ending and recent large purchases, in a quiet way. Indicate that a good share of these supplies will eventually reach the United Kingdom. The urgent demand, which Is becoming pronounced, from Mediterranean countries, and the extraordinary strength In freights, may prevent any Immediate decline, as re cent events are serving to prove that re quirements from these countries will be much larger than earlier expected."
