Hertford, Conn,, Dec. 16.—At a meet- ing. of the directors of the Fastern Baseball association heré today, the sale of the Meriden franchise to Wil- liam Scinski of Linoleumville, L. L was ratified. T. Joseph Whalen of Hol- yoke, Mass_ held the franchise last venr. It is probable that the Meriden team will be transferred elsewhere, and Scinskl was given thirty days in which to malke known his decision in this. respect. All the directors except Cameron of New Haven and Whalen of Meriden were present, President O'Rourke hold- ing Cameron’s proxy and Carey of Springfield holding Whalen's vote. It voted to open ihi season on April and close September 13, making the schedule conform to the New Kng. land league season, So as to allow for post-season series. There Was no opposition to the sale of the Meriden franchise. The con- sideration was not named. Scinski was introduced to the directors and formally Inducted as a director. There were several changes in the constitution, value when the opponents know how to cope with it. He said the conservative game, such as that played by Harvard teams in recefit years, is the best prac- tical theory of offense. Coach Haughton referred frequently to Captain Ketcham of Yale. He show- ed. several piotures of plays in the Stadium in which Ketcham figured, pointing out that in each Ketcham was smother=d by the Harvard forwards, hile the play was carried through. 'his was the reason, Coach Haughton declared, that Ketcham was not chosen for the “All-America” team by Walter Camp. Ketcham’s roughness, during the early part of the game gave the Crimson an early advantage, said the coach. He characterized Mahan’s punt from Harvard’s 20 yard line to Yale's 10 yard mark as the best he had ever Seen. Harvard players will elect their captain for next year tomorrow.

Flower Direct is the fastest pacer ever sired by a two-year-old, Jack Leyburn is the fastest trotter sired by a two-year-old. About the oldest trio of horses prominent at the races this last season were the pacers Bolivar, 2.003-4, and Maj. Brino, 2.04, and the trotter Afton L. 2.131-4; all owned in New York state. Vance Nuckols has given records to seven 2.10 trotters: Olcott Axworthy, 2.081-2: Col. Osborne, 2.083-4; Dr. Mack, 2.09 14; Pansy Silver, 2.0914; Martha Tipton, 2.091-4, and Kenneth Mack, 2.09 3-4. The only sire and son that raced in the grand circuit were Jim Todd, 2.09 1-4; and his son, George Todd (3) 2.111-4. Jim Todd is owned by Miss . L. Wilks of Galt, Ont., and she also bred George Todd. The trotting stallion Bravado, 2.10 1-4, by Kentucky Wilkes, 2.211-4, died recently in Russia. He was bred by the former secretary of the navy, Gen. B, ¥. Tracy, and in Russia he has proved to be a sire of great merit. The California mare Zuiu Belle, by Patigru, 2.101-4, scored a distinetly unique performance this year by ra ing to a troting record of 2.10 1-4 and to a pacing record of 2.06 1-4.

Although selling of investment stocks was continued, with sharp de- clines in spots, there was no recur- rence of liquidation on a scale such as has unsettled the market recently. The general list hesitated for a time, but ultimately broke away from the influence of weakness in a few stocks and sought a higher level. The mar- ket experienced setbacks from time to time and operations for the rise ‘were conducted with no great confl- dence. The tendency nevertheless was the popular issues near the best prices of the day, Reports from the steel trade, which have furnished much ammunition for the bears in recent weeks, were more encouraging. The fortnightly statis- tics of European copper supplies show ed a decrease. New Haven, New York Central, American Telephone and American Sugar, recent weak features, made up some of the lost ground.
