LATHROP & SONS Norwich, Conn. * * e Chicago, Jan. 30.—Organized baseball had an ‘inning today the contest with the “outlaw” leral league. Jimmy Johnstone, who established a stolen base record on the Pacific coast last .summer, - was induced to sign a Cub contract and Jacques Fournier and Russell Blackburn have agreed to accept the terms offered by the Chi- rago Americans. All three of the players were sought by the Federals, it was reported. A telegram from Chattanooga brought the news that Umpire Henry O’Day, acting as emis- sary for the Chicago Nationals, had induced Johnstone to sign. Manager Tinker of the Chicago Federals said the agreement had been made just in time for the Cuybs, because he had ex- pected to make an offer which John- stone could hardly refuse.

New York, Jan, 30.—Charies H."Eb- bets, president of the Brooklyn base- ball club, said tonight that his club never had refused to accede to Tink- er's demands and in sending the con- tract which Tinker received today had taken the last step necessary for the legal protection of its claims. “A contract” said Ebbets, “is a document of negotiations between the parties interested. We had the right under the contract which Mr. Tinker signed with the Cincinnati club, that contract being legally assigned to the Brooklyn club, to negotiate with Mr. Tinker up to the end of January. Wolgast Puts Away Unholz, Fond qu Lac. Wis., Jan, 30.—Rudolph Unholz, the Boer, was 'knocked out last night by Ad Wolgast, former lightweight champion, in the second round of a scheduledjten round bout after a game but hopeless fight. Un- holz took the count of nine four times in the first round and once in the sec- ond and was reeling helplessly around. the ring when, after one minute and 35 seconds of fighting in the second round, his seconds tossed a towel Into the ring.

New York, Jan. 30.—Stocks rose buoyantly today. Beginning with a moderate advance at the opening the market gathered strength steadily. In the last hour the movement became more pronounced, trading expanded to large proportions., Canadian Pacific was forced up 5 1-2 points. Gains of two points or more were made by many of the representative issues. In today’s movement the New York market fell in line with the great Buropean exchanges, which are re- flecting the pronounced improvement in financial conditions. This factor in the situsyion was made the more po- Co‘ tent by extensive purchases in this market of stocks for foreign account. This buying continued today, London taking perhaps 50,000 shares here on balance, The upturn assumed the character of the recent advance, for it was at- tended by resumption of investiment buying, on a large scale, of bonds and high grade stocks. The reaction of the earlier part of the week apparently had strengthened the technical position and when it became apparent today that the downward movement had been definitely checked there was heavy buying by investors who had been waiting for the low point on the backward swing.
