It is rumored that ome of the first to be traded will be Joe Conmolly, _the Braves' hard hitting outflelder.

T Another world’s record was lowered when Captain David Shaw of Cleve- land drove Peter Mc. in 2.06 1-4, & new amateur mark for a mile. track. In eddition to the breaking of two ‘worl records, the world’s champion four year old trotter, Peter Volo, 2.03, also driven by Thomas Murphy, equal- ed his own record, negotiating the dis- tance in 2.02 flat. Directum I got away to a splendid start in’ his phenomenal mile. - Paced by a running horse, the big chestnut pacer fairly leaped over thegground, Feaching the half mile mark # 58 1-3 seconds. . When the mile was complet- d the thousands of spectators gave the’ horse and driver an ovation. Captain Shaw's successful effort to b the amateur trotting record was also the cause of a demonstration. Shaw, oldest driver in America, sent Peter Mc, away' under perfect motion, and not the slightest semblancp of & break marred his performance. Peter Volo's record wrecking _feat was less spectacular than tbat of Di- rectum and Peter Mc. Reaching the half way mark in 104 1-2, the big drown trotter was forced to go at a two. minute clip for the remainder of the distance to equal the mark. ‘While the exhibitions attracted un- usual interest, the series of five pro- fessional races were keenly contasted, with the exception of the $10,000 Em- pire State stake, which +Peter Scott, ‘with Murphy driving, won in straight heats. Worthy Prince was a_strong contender in the. first and third: heats, but could not follow the fast pace set by the winner in the stretch. Bronson finished second in the second heat af- ter a thrilling drive up the stretch ‘which ‘brought the crowd to its feet. Murphy also #on the. American Horse Breeder futurity in straight heats with Walnut Tree. Only four horses faced the starter. . “Pop” Geers, the dean of American drivers, also occupied the limelight by taking the Chamber of Commerce $5.- 000 stake after losing the first heat. Russell Boy, the winner, finished sixth in the first heat, and the resul tcame as a great eurprise. Geers also an- nexed the Ka-noo-no stake, driving De Roche to a straight heat triumph with little_opposition. In the final event, the 2.03 pace, which was unfinished, owing to a heavy shower, Geers took the first and second heats with Napo- leon Direct, Earl, Jr, captured the £¥ Horsemen to be the Fastest of the Season. Rt r g Fapa TO MAKE % 7 STAGGERING OFFER TO M’GRAW Outlaws Laying Plans for New York Invasion. Pretentious.plans for the invasion of New York are being made by the Fed- eral league, which established head- quarters at Broadway and 42d street last week. ‘According to President Gil- more, several good park sites are available, but at the present time the league's backers are-more concerned with the lineup of, the team. The Federal Jeagiie has already made a tentative offer to John J. McGraw and will shortly tender him a formal proposition that will stagger him. The Feds are ready to pay MeGraw more money than any ealaried man in Dbaseball has ever, drawn to manage the New York Federals for a of five years. Part of the money, ca® be se- cured in advance, and ' the entire amount will be guaranteed by respon- sible parties.

ON VERGE OF STAGNATION, P e War-Specialties and Low Priced Rail- ways Showed Only Activity. New York, Sept. 15.—Eliminating the war specialties and several of the low- priced railways like Erie and Rock Is- land; today’s market was duil to_the verge of absolute Stagnation. Even United States Steel failed to hold its wonted leadership, falling behind Al- lis-Chalmers, Crucible Steel and a few other industrials of far less promin- ence. Erie and Rock Island pursued con- trary courses, the former showing in- creased strength on reported further accumulation of the preferred shares while the latter became heavy on news that the federated court had ordered that suiis for resitution be instituted against some of the former and pres- ent members of the board. Minneapo- lis and St. Louis issues declined ab- ruptly later, the common declining 4 to 8, and the preferred 6 to 24 and hefunding 4's to 44. Their fall was associated Wwith the serious illness of the company’s president. ' Investment railways moved narrow- 1y, fluctuations rarely exceeding minor fractions until the final hour, when Reading fell to 149 1-8, its lowest quo- tation of the day and other standard stocks denoted recurrent _ pressure. Shares of the Long Island Railroad, a Pentsylvania subsidiary, were prom- inent for their strength, advancing 6 to_49. ew high records for the war shares were once more in order, even though their further advance was withouf fa- vorable effect elsewhere. Bethlehem Steel rose a point, to 350, Crucible Steel 11-2 to 96 5-8 and United States Al- cohol 5 3-4 to:85 3-4. _The uncertain trend of these shares Was again indi- cated by some net losses at the close. Total sales of ,stocks . amounted ~to 522,000 shares. International credits and the status of affairs with Germany entered into the calculations of the trading element and doubtless were responsible for the dullness and sumerficial_character of the day's operations. Rumor to the effect that Washington might enter an objecfion to the proposed Anglo- French loan caused renewed discussion of_this problem. Exchange on London was dull but steady, with fewer offerings of con- tinental bills. In fact, exchange mar- kets may be said to be merking time, pending a definite outcome of current negotiations. 3 Tygding in bonds lacked especial feature, aside from the steady tone Total sales, par value, aggregated $2- 445,000.

Forward Pass. Two definite alterations have been made in rules governing the forward pass. ‘One relates to throwing the ball out of boupds and the other the penalty for a member of the side touching the ball after it has first been touched by another player of his team. Last year particularly down near the goal line where the distance was not sufficient to make a punt, it was customary for many teams to throw the ball out of bounds when it could not make its distance and the ball would then go to the defending eleven at a point two or three yards in front of the goal line instead of be- ing brought out from touchback which would very often result from a punt. This year a forward pass when thrown out of bounds is simply an in- compieted pass and will not be made on fourth down in such cases as that mentioned, because the ball would go to the oposing team, provided it were tourth down, at the ‘spot of, the previ- ous down. Under the: code of 1914 when a forward pass touched & player of the side making the pass after it had already been touched by a mem- ber of that side, the ball went to the opposing eleven at- the spot of the foul. That has been qualified and now Dall if touched by a second eligi- ble ylayer will simply g0 as an in- completed pase also. Of course, if the ball at any time touches an in- eligible player it will go to the oppos- ing team. There was considerable difficulty ex- Ebbibiinbbihibgiingy EEE! LLLLER the ball was dead. It was a common occurrence last fall to see men have their feet cut from under them and ended and the ball had been declared dead by the referee. A provision has also been.inserted to keep the defen- sive players from running into their opponents under just such conditions. The use of substitutes in the last R e against football in 1809 had reached its zenith a provision was placed in the cods allowing players to be resubstituted in the last quarter, so that a coach - or trainer could remove a man wWho ap- peared more fatigued than usual in order that he might not suffer imjury on that account. The best - use, though, to which this has been put was the sending in of substitutes with i i _E " i In a message to President Poincare of France Emperor Nicholas announc- ed that he has placed himself in com- Russian armies.
