Ward of the-Federal league con- that a war fund of been collected at the of the league in this city, and thet H Sincleir, owner of ‘the Newark 'club, haa been selected to carry out the Federal league cam- pacgn. Mr. Ward said the money fa al. ready in Sinclairs possession and that it would be used in forwarding the interests of the league @ a whole, He refuscd to outline the manner in which the money would be expended, but in- timated that the Federal league was about 1o adopt a more vigorous policy in_the Daseball world. It is understood that the removal of President Giimore's office from Chicago to this city is in line with this policy.

EVERS SAYS ALLEGED REMARKS ARE FALSE. Subject of Investigation Happened in Game with St. Louis. Boston, July 15—Remarks alleged to have been made from the side lines by Captain Bvers of the Boston Braves during last Tuesday’s game with the St Louls Cardinals, are to be the subject of the investigation Which President Tener will make here tomorrow, according to announce- ment from New York. The Braves' cap! taking exception to a decision by Umpire Rigler, who declared Bob Bescher safe at the plate on a close play, was quoted in a newspaper as haying ehouted: “They're ‘trying to get the crowds out; they've ordered a close race; leave ‘them alone boys; they’re only follewing instructions.” Evers later expressed indignation because his remarks had been inter- as a claim that the National league race was “fixed”. He said: “I claim no such thing. T've been in baseball long enough to know bet- ter. To be sure, I might have said anything on the ball field. When an umpire hands you one like Rigler did at the home plae, what you say will invariably be the result of hard feeling at the time. You're out here fighting and anything you can get away with fives. Nobody living could fix a race ke the one in the National league just now. It is the greatest ever, and We all have a chance.” “There is absolutely no truth in the story that Captain Evers said that the Natlonal league race was ‘fixed’” de- clared Manager Stallings of the Braves, 1 have personally made a thor- omandm Iflfl’flml it.ta be D PRESIDENT- TENER 1S AFTER-EVERS. is Alleged That Braves’ Captain Made Remarks Reflecting Upon the Integrity of Organized Baseball. New York, July 15—An sssertion alleged to have been made by Captain Evers of the Boston Braves during the progress of Tuesday's game reflecting upon the integrity of orgenized base- ball fs to be investigated by President John K. Tener of the Nationel league, It was annourced tonight from Presi- dent Tener's office that he would go to Boston tomorrow to thoroughly inves- tigate the charge. John A. Heydler, secretary of the league, will accompany ‘Mr. Temer. “Secret Draft” Again This Year. Chicago, July 15.—Reports today reached minor league leaders in this section that the “secrét draft” under which players were taken into lea- gues of higher class last year will be in vogue again this season. While the National Commission has not an- nounced that the results of the 1916 draft would be kept under cover the minor leaguers pointed out that gen- eral conditions were the same as last season. At that time rather than let the Federal league magnates know what men were chosen for promotion, the awards were kept secret until the plavers involved had signed contracts. It Vivian Nickalls Joins British Army. Philadelphia, July 15—Vivian Nick- alls, coach of the University of Penn- sylvania rowing crews today an- nounced that he had resigned in or- der to join the British army. He will sail on August 18th. The Pennsylvania rowing committee asked Nickalls to remain at least an- other year, but he could not be per- suaded. He had a three year contract with Pennsylvania, which had another year to run. Herrman Denies Report, Cincinnati, July 15.—“Nothing to it,” said Garry Herrman, chairman of the National Commission tonight regard- ing a report that secret draft of minor league players used by the major leagues last year would be in force again this season. “The matter has not yet been discussed and won't be for some time,” he added. Phillies Win After Hard Fight. Philadelphia, July 15.—Philadelphia won a hard fought game from St. Louis in the tenth inning today, 4 to FINANCIAL AND COMMERGIAL STOCK MARKET. e lInterests Awakened— Gains in the Final Hour. New York, July 15.—In the first four hours of today's session stocks devel- oped a more definite two-sided charac- ter in the sense that specialties, chief- ly those in the war contract class, menifested greater _strength, while rallways denoted increased selling pressure. In the final hour the con- dition underwent a sharp reversal, the former speculative favorites coming rapidly to the front with gains of one to over two points. The change was colncident with the announcement that the Standard Oil company had dis- posed of various of its pipe lines to meet the wishes of the interstate com- merce commission and the declaration of an increased dividend by the Amal- gamated Copper company, which dis- bursed one dollar instead of the usual fifty cents. There was also an awakening of speculative interest as a result of Ger- many’s explanation of the Nebraska in- cldent, which was accepted s an evi- dent desire to maintain friendly nego- tiations with ‘Washington. Confirma- tion of increasing activity at leading centers of the steel industry gave an added fillip to the very strong close. Record _breaking quotations were made by Bethlehem Steel at 181 1-2, American Can at 52 1-8, Baldwin Loco- motive at 71 3-4, and Willys-Overland at 138 3-4. United States Steel changed hands in emormous quantities, toward the close rising to 62 1-8, its best quota- tion since the early part of June, when the federal court absolved the cor- poration from any infraction of the Sherman law. Southern Pacific was weakest of the more prominent rail- ways, declining almost two points in the early trading on what was. be- lieved to be foreign selling. It made full recovery later, but some of. the minor railways now under financial readjustment, including St. Louis_and San Frencisco, Missourl issues, Mis- sourl, Kansas and Texas common and preferred and Rock Island, were dis- tinctly weak throughout. Total sales amounted to 534,000 shares. Dealings on the foreign exchange were limited mainly to_remittances to the continent, francs being stronger, ith some heaviness to marks end es. There was a marked decrease to future or forelgn offerings of bonds. That market was irregular. Total sales, par value, were $2,190,000. Panama registered threes advenced 5-8 per cent. on call. 8TOCKS, H T I !SEEEEEEE ! i i!Egifiss;:Eiie;is;;&ifiiiiismiuiss M 4800 Com Products 600 Corn Prod. pr. 37630 Crucible Steel 630 Crucible Steel pr. . 200 Cuba Am.

Foster missed the catch and Shotton and Austin scored, Howard going to third and Pratt to second. With two balls and two strikes on Walsh, Howard and Pratt performed a double steal, How- ard scoring. Washington contested the play, claiming Walsh had struck at the ball which would have made him out. In the 9th Washington filled the bases with two out, but James struck out Williams.

Later Bab- bington, a New York recruit, was sent to join' McGraw. In the third in- ning Eason cleaned the entire Giant bench of players mot actually invesred in the game. Mathewson, who was sitting outside the bench, alongside the ground keeper, protested, but he too was forced to go. In the seventh inning, after Bresna. han struck out, he got into an argu- ment with a spectator. Bryon stopped the argument, and after Bresnahan pointed out this spectator, Byron call- ed the game and lectured the fan. With two out in the ninth inning, By- ron ordered Fletcher off the field.

Is the Brooklyn team going to prove a second Boston? Can the Dodgers come along like the Braves of last year and cop the bunting? These Qquestions are keeping the fans of the country at fever heat for the usually lowly team has taken eight straight games and is boiling along within two games of the top. As a result record crowds are following each game, the fans are rooting strong and the man- agement is happy, for the dollars are flowing into the treasury. It is & long time since Brooklyn has Seen & pen- nant, although it had a look-in. two years ago, but now the crowds feel sure that the Dodgers are out for a second Braves dash that will carry them on impetuously to the top of the league, and then right on to the world’s championship honors. The players are all on tiptoe, but not so enthused, it is said, that they are liable to lose their heads. From present in- dications, with a crowd of 25,000 out last Saturday, there is little likelihood that the club treasury will have to dig into the reserve fund to meet ex-, penses.
