York, Dec. 15.—The National League of Professional Baseball Clubs is still talking, The American league met today, transacted its business with despatch and adjourned unti next year; but the senior organizatiun, deadlocked over the selection of a president, talked for two hours and adjourned until 1130 o’clock tomorrow morning. The club owners got as_far as the election of, officers but no far- ther, and the situation with regard to the National league presidency re- mains unchanged. John M. Ward commands four votes and John A. Heydler, the present cumbent, commands_three. One club- owner—Robison .of St. Louis—refuses { to say for whom he will vote, although it is predicted that he will vote for Heydler, Dreyfuss of Pittsburg says Rabison has told him he will never vote for Ward, but he is not pledged to Heydler. May Have to Compromise. ‘Wit hthis situation presented, Dre; fuss consulted legal talent to as: tain what will happen, shonld Ward receive four votes and Heydler three, with Robison declining to vote. lle was told that under the laws/of this state the four votes would not elect ‘Ward, all of which seems to indicate that the National league has consider- able of a powwew ahend of it beforc looks like a compromise candidate, who may or may not be Ned Hanlon, own- er of the Baltimore club. Want More Light About Philadelp With the presidential situa decided, the National league ma of necessity confined themselves to routine matters today. Horace Fo- gel, representing the new and mys- terious ‘owners of the Philadelphia club, was admitied to the meeting, but many of the club owners were not sut- isfied with his statement that Charles W. Murphy.of Chicago and Charles P. Taft of Cincinnati are not the new purchasers. - They are seeking more light, The new club was admittad to membership, however, and Fogel named the officers as being himsel? as president, Frank B. Eldott vice presi- dent, Morris Scheck secretary-treas ir- er, and L Schwartz and W. Conway directorss The committee appointed in Louls- ville last August to arrange for the erection of a monument over the grave of the late Harry Pulliam, former pres. ident of the National league, reported that action of this kind was unnec- cessary in that Mr. Pulliam’s family had erected a monument. The laague decided to bestow a lump sum 20 spe- cifiedgon an invalid sister of the late president, and to give her the interest on $5,000 a year during her lifetims, President’s Annual Report. Mr. Heydler submitted his annual report, in which he called attention and déplored the frequency of protests over games, He argued that club own- ers should show the same considera- tion to the umpires that they do to players who lose games. The behavior of the players on the diamond during last season was better than ever before, Heydler said, and the New York club, for the first time in seven years, did not have ome man suspended during the playing season. Most Prosperous Season. Figures submitted in the report shew that the receipts of the National league clubs last season were just 100 per cent. more than in 1903, the first year in which National and American Dndlock Continues Over Choice ofwl'mu-knt in Nation- “al League—Norwich Team Makes Fine Showing in Duckpins—Collins Accepts Murphy’s Propoliti‘on.‘ leagues worked in harmony. The junior leagues at their mesting recommended the adoption of a schel- ale of 154 gumes: for, the season and themselves against playing lfifi games, as Dl’owlfid by some Na- ] tional e club owners. They adopi- ed a rule lmiting the number of men a ciup may carry during the scasoa. From May 1 to August 20 the clubs will be allowed to carry 25 men and between August 20 and May of the following year, 85. Exonerated Cantillon Charge. Joe Cantillon, former manager the Washington club, who liad been of Disloyaity accused of disloyalty to the american | league, was exonerated of this charge by a resolution expressing confidence and best wishes, The club owners looked over several substitutes for spikes and passel this important question on to Presidest | with | power to act for the American ieaguo. | Johnson and Charles Comiskey, Charles Somers of Cleveland was un- animously re-elected _vice president. and the Chicago, Cleveland, New York and Boston clubs will have representa- tives on the next board of directors.

Some Releases and Transfers. ‘The Boston National league clup vn- conditionally released Catcher Al Shuw | and the St. Louis Americans will re- lease Second Baseman Willlams to Minneapolis if they can get wavers | on him. Williams is destined to man- age the St. Joe club nevt season, for it is Cantillon’s intention to buy the Pueblo franchise and transfer it to St. Joseph. The Cincinnati club sold Catcher Frank Roth to Minneapolis and Third Baseman Dolan and Pitch- er Lower to Denver. The Montreal club will train in Millidgeville, 'Ga., next spring. Man- ager Barrow of Montreal sold Pitcher Adams and Catcher Durlan to Altoona and_signed i promising pitcher of Corona, L.

Each year the association will have a floral wreath placed on Harry Pulllam’s grave in Louisville. The Pittsburg club gave a banquet [t at the Waldorf tonight to newspaper men, club owners and managers. Two hundred baseball notables were pres- ent, and Barney Dreyfuss, Fred Clarke and Hugh Jennings and others made speeches, “LET MURPHY TRY.” Collins Says He'll Meet Dan—Handicap Match for Néw Year’s. “It Dan Murphy %hinks he ean throw me twice in an hour, let him go ahead and try. Tl wrestle him on New Year’s if we have to do it outdoors” was the answer Bill Collins forwarded to the gporting editor of The Bulletin in response to Murphy's charge that the Central Village wrestjer was try- ing to squeal out of the match that had been praposed. Collins says that he will accept Murphy’s game and stands ready to have Dan show him. There's no squealing in his makeup, he says and he's been up against some hard propositions. But he thinks Murphy will be up against too tough & propo- sition when he tries to put the Cen- FINANCIAL AND GUMMERGIAL LITTLE ANIMATION. ed Shrinkage in Dealings—Price Movement Mixed. De; New York, Dec. 15—The Reading dividend increase gave the stock mar- ket the only semblance of animation it enjoyed today, coming after a period of torpid dullness, Traders Had diffi- culty in following the shifting trend of the market and the mixed movement of prices at all times. The decided shrinkage in the volume of the mar- ket was the most notable feature of the day. The Reading dividend situa— | tion had aroused a good deal of uneasy The weakness of the stock yesterday and at times today gave rise to an impression that the strongly- claimed hopes of a dividend increase were to be disappointed. The event pointed rather to the conclusion that many wary speculative holders had | preferred to cash in their profits on | the vague hopes of an increase rather than to await a possible crush of profit taking sales on the actual increase. The progress of the recent market to sell off on good news gave point to this | apprehension. The rumors on the sub- !Ject alleged that the Lehigh dividend Was to be raised as a preliminary- to | the Reading increase. 'With the an- | nouncement of the change in the form | but not in the amount of the Lehigh Valley dividend Reading rallied from its weakness and rose above 170 for the first time during the day. The actual announcement of the increase |in the Reading dividend to the six per cent. rate came in the last half hour |of the market. There was a_spas- | modic jump in the stock to 171 3-4, 'mn it sold off again and carried back the general market with it to an ir- }regular closing. This_interrupted a general recovery from the early weak- |miess common to the whole list. Use | was made as a depressing influence of !the formal declaration of war against the open shop position of the United | States Steel corporation by the labor | conference at Pittsburg. There was | little change in the local money mar- | ket. The call loan rate touched five |per cent. again. An incident of the ! day was the payment of the Standard | Oif dividend, which called for the dis- bursement of $10,000,000. As a herald |of the coming yearly disbursement of |large sums in éntarest and dividends this attracted notice. Reports from the great retail establishments in = New York city reported an unprecedented holiday trade. The advance in prices in the last hour was the most compre- hensive of the day, but it was partly lost in the reaction following the Read- ing "dividend amnouncement. Bonds vere steady. Total sales, pare value, 4,026,000 United States bonds were unchanged on call. * BTOGK& Sales. 800 Allfs Chalmers pfd 25000 Amal. Copper 30 Am. Agrlcaltural 100 Am. Beet Sugar .

As the total pinfall is what determines the match, the Norwich pair are now in excellent shape to hand a beating to the two New Haveners here next Tues- C. LEROY HILL. Led Norwich and New Haven Bowlers. day evening, when the advantage of the home alleys will be all with Mur- | phy and Hill. It was Hill who did the resplendent work of the evening and put.the Nor- wich team in the running, for Murphy was not up to standard form and failed to reach the century mark in a single one of the fife strings. Roy not only led his team mate, but set too fast a gait for the two New Haven men, roll- ing the high total of 479, average 95 4-5, to a total of 465 by Janswick, whose' average was 93. The two New Haveners went off with a rush, trying to get the Norwich boys’ goat by capturing the first two strings, Janswick producing the high single of the evening, 116, in the first game, But the Norwich pair were game and made a bid for the match by taking the next two games, thus making it stand two all. Hills' sec- ond 101 score of the evening and a string of 98 were what puiled the Nor- wich team two through in these two games. This brought the rooters to the rescue of the New Haven pair, and West responded with a single of 107 in the last game, which swung the balance to New Haven, the total fig- ures being New Haven 929, Norwich 922, The scores: New Haven.

The Regals, playing in the St. Lou- is star bowling league, last night broke the world’s record of 1,207 for a single game by making 1.235. Jack Flyon, the star first baseman for the St. Paul team, now a'law stu- dent at Georgetown university, was s0ld Tuesday to the Pittsburg Nation- als for $4,000. Louls Traub, a Cincinnat! bowler, has bet $100 even that he will roll a | tén pound ball down the Enterprise alleys 100 times in succession without touching either of the end pins. Brooklyn has asked for waivers on twenty-six players, including Andy Herbst and-Kid Sherwoo, who were drafted from New Haven last season. Both men will undoubtedly return to the New Havns. According to 4 statement by John Robinson of Chicago, who has been acting as agent for Battling Nelson, the Dane ha: accepted terms for a match with Fred Welch, the British lightweight champlon. Manager Zeller of Springfield, when informed that Murray Parker was con- templating a _trip to Cuba_to play during the winter, said that there was only one thing worse than winter ball and that was more finter ball. Parker played all last winter in.California and returned only to prove the Dbiggest disappointment in the Connec- ticut league. All kinds of trades are being talked of at the baseball meting in New York. Catcher Lou Criger is slated to go to the Highlanders and President Hedges of the St. Louis Browns has asked for bids on Stone, Ferris, Wil- liams and Rube Waddell. Washington would like Ferris and Chicago seems anxious to take either Williams or the erratic Rube. Barney Dreyfuss of the Pirates found time Monday to sign Fred Clarke to a two years' contract to lead the Buccaneers. Barney didn't say what Clarke would receive from him | in the way of salary in 1910 and 1911. | but intimates that the Kansas agricul- turist ‘was the highest priced leader in captivity. “And Clarke doesn’t get a percentage of the profits, either,” said Barndy. “Clarke’s contract with us is a straight one, and cannot be broken by my calling him a Fat Head.” Alone in Sawmill at Midnight, unmindful of dampness, drafts, storms or cold, W.
