It is reported. that the eight Connecticut eities that may be used as a “farm” for the Federals are Wil- limantic, Norwich Hartford. New Bri- tain, Meriden, New Haven, Danbury and South Norwalk. In support of the claim that high class ball could be played in the new league with a fair support for Sun- day. games. the promoters say they ‘| would be assured of money enough to meet the salaries, because the Federal league officials would guarantee the bills. At present.. it is stated, the Federal league is. handicapped be- cause it is without a farm to develop players and the “Biz Men” consider it would be a good investment to break into the Connecticut ecircuit. Although it has been denied. Dbut not officially, that Owner Jim Clarkin of. the Senators has been “flirting” with ‘the Federal league, there 'is an undercurrent report to the effect that Clarkin is ready to flop. when the real money is in sight. If Clarkin can be convinced he can make as much money in conducting an “outlaw farm” as he has in_ the -O'Rourke circuit, 1t is stated he is ready to take the hurdle.

FREE-FOR-ALL FIGHT ENDED SOCCER GAME Battled Fiercely. 2 St. Louis, Mo., Dec. ‘What began as a soccer game between the Chicago All-Stars and the St. Leos of this city ended in a free-for-all fight among the players. With the first blow the spec- tators began surging on the field. The encounter occurred at the Fed- eral League ball park about five min- utes before the ‘close of play, while the score was two.to two. Eddie Mul- ligan; outside forward for the St. Leos and Hawke -haifback on the visitors’ ream. were tle first to come to blows. The battle lasted ten minutes and end ed with a majority of the piayers stretched out on the ice covered field, some stunned and a few unconsclous. John Patterson, a Chicago lineman, was knocked senseless at the. opening of the hostilities and lay neglected un- til after the fight. No arests were made. Jack Evans, leader of the All- Stars. announced, however, that he would take the case befors the United States Football Association and de- mand expulsion of the St. Leos team.

Instead-of calling a meeting of the committee to discuss possible changes, Mr. Camp suggests that E. K.

He further suggests that this rewording be submitted to the com- mittee for a vote by mail. Mr Camp also advocates the numbering of play- ers and it is pretty certain that the Yale authorities will meet with the public’s demand next season on this much-mooted gquestion.

In discontinuing the Hall of Fame Mr. Chalmers says: “The proposition of having a baséball Hall of Fame, as proposed by me, was to run for five years. With the presentation this year of the Chalmers trophy to Eddie Col- lins and Johnny Evers the work of the commission has come to an end.

New York, Dec. 28—The stock market today recovered much of the ground lost in last week's declining movement. Improvement began at the outset and. was maintained to the very end, at which time the day's hest prices were recorded. Trading was on the largest scale of almost any time since the resumption of open dealings, with activity most pronounced in th international group. Gains averaged almost two points, with sharp recover- ies from their minmum by such impor- tant shares as United States Steel and Sovthern Pacific. ‘The rise extended to a number of specialties, including equipment stocks and Bethlehem Steel, the latter not only regaining all its recent loss, but mounting to its best price of the pres- lent movement. A few of the less active stocks, including Chlcago and North- western and Chesapeake and Ohio, fell -to . established yrices. Much of today’s buying came from the short interest, that faction having evidently oversold the list last week, but, according to report, the rise was accelerated by investment buving from out of town. The rise In Steel and Amalgamated 1§ Copper was more directly traceable to specialists in those issues. Heaviness of Northwestern was as- 8ociated with the road's statement for November, which showed a net loss of slightly in excess of $600,000, while the Southern Railway suffered to a simi- lar extent for the same period. The Atchison system, however, despite a heavy increase In operating expenses, made a met gain of $712,000 for that month.
