WORLD’S CHAMPS MAY PLAY AT FRISCO Against All Star Baseball Team of the Defeated League. : The presidents of both major base- leagues have expressed them- selves as in favor of playing a post- world’s series of ball games at the Panama-Pactfic Exposition next fall mfter the regular world's series has been decided. The contesting teams will be world’s champlons and a team of ‘All Stars” picked from the best players of the defeated league. There have been rumors that the world's series would be played at the Ex- position, or else that the two pen- nant-winning teams would play a sec- ond “world's series” on the coast. President John K. Tener of the Neational league, wWho has returned from the Exposition, states that he thought a series in the fall at the Ex- fomtion erounds would be an excel- lent thing, and that in all likelthood the project would meet with the ap- proval and enthusiasm of all con- but that - he would not consent e world's series being transferred to_the coast. “There is a big polo field on the Ex- | position grounds,” 3 “that will make an ideal ball park. Mr. Johnson and I both favor the series under cortain condifions. It would be inadvisable to have the two pennant-winners meet . each cther again out on the coast, after having just finished contesting in baseball's annual classic in their home cities, It would be quite possible for tne world's_serles decision to be re- versed if replayed in this way. But 2 feros between the world's cham- plone and a team picked from the best players of the other league would be = lne thing, ana thd Exposition aserves to be favored with su desery th such an “Special rules would have to be made, of course, . o such a series uld be permissable. The rule for- bldding the team winning the world's series from engaging in any further bell plaving until the following spring will have to be set aside for this spe- done. Th it 1 e. The way it looks now, every. thing will be arranged all right, and the series will be played. The teams will g0 to the coast as soon as possi- ble after the world's series has been decided.

Older Organization Outplayed Their Young Rivals—Score 4 to 1. Taftville and Ponemah Wheel club met for the second time this season on Providence street grounds Saturday before a large crowd.of fans. Taft- ville played the same team which de- feated the Wheel club in the first game. The Wheel club had a few changes and they will require to make a great many more before they can even com- pare with the older club. The Wheel club won the toss and decided to kick with the wind behind them. Taftville immediately took up the running and kept the Wheel club busy defending. A penalty kick was awarded Taftville, but A. Finlayson failed to connect. The Wheel club were entirely outplayed and when Jess Greenhalgh scored with a FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL SATURDAY'S MARKET FLURRIED. But Is Largest Week's Business of the Year. New. York, April 10.—Profit-- taking of a very broad and general charac- ter, in which ‘Europe participated to an‘unusual degree, was almost the sole restzaint upon further speculative ex- cesses in the stock market today. Even so0, higher prices were established and in’ some. instances retained on the largest week end business in six years. At the opening, which was marked by much confusion and excitement. practically all the leading stocks and a_majority of the speculatives moved somewhat ungvenly toward levels sub- stantially above yesterday's high fu- tures. U. 8. Steel was the outstanding feature, interest concerging around that stcek because of its meteoric rise the day %Lefore. Operating at a frac- tional advance, it soon gained a full point of 55, but as speedily fell back to 50 1-2 under the weight of enor- mous offerings. His close was 36, a one point loss, on dealings in excess of 180,000 shares. Pethlehem Steel was the sole ex- ception to the general tendency, fall- ing back two points in the early deal- ings and increasing this loss to four points. At no time did it figure im- portantly in the day's operations. Mo- tor shares, while strong, also lost some of ‘their recent prominence. Harrimans’ the Anthracites, Atchi- son, Canadian Pacific, Pennsyivania and New York Central rose 1 to 2 1-2 points, but failed to hold. Rock Is- land’s feverish course reflected next weel’s meeting of the shareholders by raising _almost four points, all of which it subsequently lost. The March statement of the United States Steel corporation, showing a decrease of 89,622 tons in unfilled or- ders compared with the previous month, came out as the market was closing. The figures upset most cal- culations, a slight increase having been expected. Other general news included the weekly reviews of trade conditions, in which distinct improve- ment was noted, Total sales of stocks amounted to 833,000 shares. i Bonds were strong but failed to keep pace with the movement in stocks. To- tal sales, par value, ageregated ~ $2,- 761,000. Panama coupon and registered 2s declined 1-2 per cent. on call during the week. STOCKS.

Kansas City, April 9.—Hog receipts today ‘estimated at 4,000, Received of- i;:;!@nilly yesterday 6 long drive it was only what was due. The first half ended with the score 1-0 in favor of Taftville. In the second half, with the wind be- hind them, Taftville were expected to increase their lead. The Wheel club did not show to advantage, having no combination whatever, and with their fullbacks missing every other kick, they were not considered dangerous. From a miss kick by Wilson, Booth scored the second goal, and he followed it up with another a few minutes later. The Taftville team were getting stronger and though they may be old- er they proved that they can stand 90 minutes of play better than their Younger opponents. The outstanding player for the Wheel club was Knowles. Taftville forwards missed many a chance to increase their lead by poor shooting. From a corner kick well placed by A. Finlayson, Blanchette scored the fourth goal for Taftville. With only a few minutes to play, it looked like another shutout for the Wheel club, but in the last two minutes R. Pilling got away and cen- tering to Armitage scored. When the game was called the Wheel club was busy in defense. All Taftville players showed im- provement from their last game and in the fall series with W, Wilson and J. Uham, along with two more who arée known as first class players, Taftville will have a team that will land the-cup back in the village again. The lineups and summary follow: Taftville. P. W. C. H.

If power of man can effect it Johnny Dundee will meet Freddie Welsh in a twemty round bout to a decision for the lightweight cham- pionship of the world. Scotty Mon- tieth, Johnny’s manager, is_determin- ed to place this event on the pugilis- tic calendar, cost what it may. He is 50 fixed in his purpose—and so con- fident that the Scotch-Wop is the Briton’s master—that he would sign for the match without compensation. More than that, he would even guar- antee Welsh his price and meet any deficit that might be incurred in staging the battle. Taking a leaf from the book of Jess ‘Willard's backers, Montieth proposes to stage and finance the match him- self. The lightweight champion’s price was such a prohibitive one that no club could afford to take a chanca on the match. _Scotty declares hq will pay Welsh the sum he demandy for risking his title, and then if thera is a balance on the right side of the column after all expenses have beem deducted he will cut in on the pro- fits. If there are no profits Scotty and Jobmmy will cut in on their Te= spective bank accounts. If all the details can be_ arranged the bout will be fought on July 5 be- for the Itallan Riverside A. C., of New! Haven. It 5 expected that the clubx will post a forfeit of $1,000 next Mon— day to guarantee its sincerity. New Haven Is the only place with= in & short distance of New York where twenty-round bouts may ba held. A fght there between, these two leading .lightweights would be ® strong card _and attract many fightt fans from Boston, New York and other citles. The club is an ideal one for boxing purposes, having a seat- ing capacity of 10,000. The proposed Pprices would range from $2 to $20. When Scotty first attempted to ar= Tange the match.he offered Welsh $10,000 flat. The champion insisted upon a guarantee of $15,000. Mon= tleth agreed to guarantee him _that sum, so now Freddie has no “out’ unless he makes one of the welght question. In addition to the flat' guarantee Montieth and the club gave Welsh the privilege of taking 50 per cent. of the gate receipts. Dundee and the club will split anything that is left on a ffty-fifty basis. 3 Jack Johnson ispent a busy time the other day attempting to prevent the display of a film showing parts of the: fight with Willard in Havana “movies”, He complained to the secret police asking for an injunction.
