CHAMBERLAIN! general freight advance was largely nullified or set aside today when it became known that the Pennsylvania public_service commission had order- ed a drastic reduction in coal freight rates between some of the important anthracite centers and Philadelphia. ‘While officials of the roads most con- cerned professed to regard the de- cision as entirely local in extent, spec- ulative Wall street evidently chose to accept it in a less favorable epirit. This was reflected in persistent selling of Reading and Lehigh Valley shares, which fell to new low prices for the present movement. In the, final hour the list was sub- jected to further unsettlement and lower prices. The decline was led by United. States Steel, which had held at a fraction above 50, despite contin- ued orferings, some of them being in blocks of 1,000 shares or more.

President O’'Rourke Will Make Mat- i if it is true, that James Clarkin of the Hartford baseball club contemplates deserting the East- ern association by aiding the Federal league in their efforts to form an outlaw minor circuit, the O'Rourke men stand a splendid chance of bring- ing legal action against the Hartford mogul. Clarkin, it has been reported, dickered with Federal leaguers, in hopes of selling his franchise to the outlaws as a foundation for a strong circuit in this section. Although Clarkin might’ be expected to do any- thing in his power against President O’'Rourke and his associates, there is no chance of the Hartford mogul com- pleting the reported deal. When President O'Rourke was elect- ed for a five year term as Eastern association head, there were other matters pertaining to the league’'s fu- ture good that were discussed. - One of these was the Federal league. Pres- ident O'Rourke, at that time, pointed out that the magnates must cooper- ate and do everything in their power to prevent any poseible invasion of the outlaws. The magnates pledged their support and entered into some sort of a binding agreement that would Pprevent any magnate affiliating him- self with the Federals. CI. in, it is said, was one of them. ‘When the above was brought to the attention of President O’Rourke at his home in Bridgeport, the league execu- tive stated that the facts previously stated were true. O’Rourke said that he did not take Clarkin seriously, as he believes- him to possess brains enough to live up to his agreement. Should Clarkin take such action as reported in some of the newspapers or if it can be proven that he offered the Federal league any encouragement. the probabilities are that President O'Rourke will make matters warm for the Hartford disturber. O'Rourke stated that he is not in accord with Clarkin's actions and that he has gone a trifle too strong in his mutterings through the press. O’Rourke challenges Clarkin to over- throw the Eastern association in fa- vor of the Feds, as there will be noth- ing left to do but sue him in earnest. This would mean a great victory for O’Rourke and would also blacklist the Hartford man from organized baseball. Clarkin has always been a trouble maker and has few friends. There will be many jovous hearts when an- nouncement is made that he has re- linquished holdings on the Hartford franchise. Tt is believed that that day is not far distant. Older baseball men believe that there is little or no po sibility of a Federal league invasion within the territorial rights of the tern. association. As the Eastern ates with possibly one exception, are stoutly opposed to any alliance with the Feds, the date is too late to construct baseball parks for this sea- son at least. New Haven is the only city in the association with two fenced baseball parks. SHUGRUE MEETS WHITE. Both Boys Have Defeated Champion Welsh—136 Pounds Ringside Agreed Upon. Charles White and Joe Shugrue have ?g‘reefl to make 136 pounds ringside for heir bout at Madison Square Garden Dec. 29. The weight will bring the contestants into the ring with their full fighting strength, which will leave no room for alibis in regard to making a low. weight too weakening to have the men at thelr best. Nate Lewis, manager of White, wired Jimmy Johnston, matchmaker of the club, last night that the <Chicago ligshtweight would be in New York at the earliest possible date and not later than Wed- nesday. White is in good trim at pres- ent, having engaged in light training for the past three weeks, He stopped his last opponent, Jimmy Burns, in two rounds at Kenosha, coming out of the match without a scratch. Shugrue will start active training tomorrow, having rested up since go- ing a draw with Sammy Robideau at Bridgeport in_a 15-round bout last Fri night. White has not appeared in New York since he met Shugrue, when the latter received the popular verdict. Since then White has defeat- ed both Ritchie and Welsh, two con- tests that put him in a class with the greatest l!ghtwellh(u in the country. The match is of importance to both men, as a champlonship bout with Welsh will be offered the winper at New Orleans. Both have bedten the champion in "10-round no-decision contests. Feds May Place a Team in Toronte in 1916. Toronto, Ont., Dec. 21.—James *Gil- more, president of the Federal league, visited Toronto today with President Robertson of the Buffalo Federal league club. When questioned as to whether his trip had any bearing on the prospect of putting a [Federal league club in this city, Mr. Gilmore said that it had been his league's in- tention to establish a club here next year, but on account of the war it would hardly be possible to do any- thing in this matter till 1916. Mr. Gilmore leéft for Chicago this afternoon, Mr. Robertson returning to Buffalo.
