Zeller of Pittsfield is allowed $3,500 for the dissolution of his fran- chise and President J. H. O'Rourke of the Eastern Association is allowed $1,000 for franchises. The three re- tiring clubs of the New England League, Fitchburg, Lewiston and Man- chester, are taken care of under ar- rangements made by the New Eng- land League clubs at a meeting held in Boston on Dec. 30 last. The re- port of the committee, which includes its findings follows: “At the annual meeting of the Na- tional Association, held in San Fran- LUB IN MERGER cisco, Nov. 12, 1915, appeared Mr. Louis P. Pleper, ~representing _eight club owners in New England, praying the National Board to ratify and sanc- tion a merger of five cities from the New Bngland League and three from the Eastern Association. Mr, Pieper presented arguments to the éntire Natlonal board, contending that the Eastern Association with but three club owners in each of three cities had actually died and passed out of existence, the law requiring that not less than four clubs shall consti- tute a league and was recognized only on the courtesy of the national board, in allowking a suspension of opera- tions for the 1915 season in the three remaining cities, viz, New London, Bridzeport and Pittsfield, and that the Eastern Association legally fails to exist at the present time. Press and Public Strongly in Favor. The speaker set forth that in addi- tion to the eight principal club owners desiring the merger that the press and public “were strongly in favor of it and stated that so persistent was this sentiment in the largest city in the circuit, naming Worcester, Mass., that it erystallized to such an’ extent that people remained away from the ball park to show their disapproval of the failure of the club owners to bring about the merger and the Worcester club was compelled to abandon Wor- cester and finish the season on the road and this in spite of the fact that the Worcester club was In third place most of the season. Where Eastern Association Failed. The speaker reiterated that in the t MARKET DULL, IRREGULAR. Metal Shares Covered the Bulk of Speculative Attention. New York, Feb. 14—Metal shares commanded the buik of speculative at- tention in today’s dull and irrugelar market, with new high necords for| Anaconda, Utah, Butte and Superior, Shattuck-Arizona and Chino, while American Zinc also _touched a new maximum. ~Gains in this group ranged from one to three points, but much of this advantage was forfeited at the end. The further rise was attributed mainly to yet another advance in the price of refined copper, a_quotation of 27 1-2 cents being fixed by producers and dealers for June delivery. Boston and New England commission houses were heavy buyers of the copper stocks. Oils, General Motors and New York Air Brake constituted the other irregularly strong features for a time, but the general movement in that quarter was conflicting. Among _the recognized war shares, Crucible Steel, Baldwin Locomotive and American Car were inclined to sag, this tion applying to the fertilize tillers' Securities, U. S.

Mercantile Marine preferred ! was weak, losing 4 1-4 at 71, and Me> ican Petroleum yielding at the close. Distinct heaviness prevailed amo; Pacific scoring an extreme 10ss of 3 1 at 172, while St. Panl, New York Ce: tral, Reading, New Haven and Chesa- peake and Ohio and Eries were one to two points lower. U. S. Steel was an- other unsettling feature, persistent pressure effecting an extreme loss of 11-2 at §3 3-8 The lower trend, which was most| pronounded in the final dealings, was | associated with fears of further for- elgn liquidation. This was heightened by another large infiow of high grade stocks and bonds from abroad. Con- servative sentiment was also affected to a degree because of the new phases injected into the international situa- tien by the Teutonic submarine policy. Total sales amounted to 653,000 shares. Foreign exchange markets were dull, with some greater firmness in sterling rates. Marks and rubles also harden- ed, the latter on purchases of finance bills in fairly round amounts. Bonds were irregular throughout, with a continuance of tbe recent ac- tivity in _Anglo-French fives at conces- sions. Total sales, par value, aggre- gated $3,580,000. United Sfates issues and Panamas advanced 1-2 per cent. on call.

Bastern Association a similar desire was expressed in most of the cities and that the association had been obliged to operate in 191 with six clubs and in 1915 the association fail- ed to start because owners of the franchises in three of these cities re- fused to start with a six-club asso- clation with certain financial loss staring them in the face. The speaker pointed out that after the Eastern As- sociation officials had been glven a favorable decision in the spring of 1915, on the representation that the Eastern Association officials had all in Teadiness to operate franchises in all six citles, that it fell down and failed to cperate at all, adding: “All practical baseball men famillar with conditions in that territory know that it will be impossible to operate in these three cities where the plants are owned by the people who want the merger. No one will build new plants. The present owners in the three cit- ies have more than $50,000 invested, Whereas the owners of two of the Te. maining cities, New London and Pitts- field, paid $750 each for league mem- bership.” Committee’s Report Accepted. In the absence of a representative of the Eastern Association at the meet- ing and in view of a notification to the board under date of Oct. 21, 1915, signed by President O'Rourke of the Eastern Association, _stating: “We have practically_completed our circuit for 1916. The Eastern Association, is obligated at Springfield, Hartford an New Haven for 1916 to new owners, and the further assurances by wire from President O'Rourwe, received in San Francisco, under date of Nov. 8, reading: “The Eastern Association has secured parks in New Haven and Springfield under legal _obligations, the franchise holder of Hartford hav- ing grounds,” a committee of three was created, consisting of Messrs. Bar- row, Murnane and Farrell, to investi- gate the several claims and report to the chairman of the board, with the understanding that the board would accept the report of the committee as final. This committee held a_ meeting in New York on Dec. 17, 1915, at which meeting further arguments were pre- sented on either side, The Eastern Association failed to produce at this time the iegal organi- zation required and noted In its re- port of Oct. 21 and Nov. 8, 1915. First Thought Protection of Property. | The proponents of merger were given {to understand that the committee's ! first thousht would be the protection of property., rights and that none of its club members could be ruthlessly dropped without adequate compensa- tion. Extensive Arguments. After listening to extensive argu- ments, the committee ordered that the Eastern Association present to said committee on Jan. 17, 1916, satisfac- tory proofs that it had a local organi- zation in each city of its circuit, stat- ing the names of the officers and members of the respective organiza- tions in each city, location of their business offices and plaving grounds. Final Hearing Held in New York. The meeting of Jan. 17 was subse- quently postponed to Jan. when a final hearing was held in New York city. At this meeting the Eastern as- soclation presented its report, stating that it had granted franchises as fol- lows: Pittsfield, Mass., J. Zeller; Springfield, Mass., P. T. ‘onnor; Hartford, Conn., J. P. Erwin and F. H. Bigelow; New Haven, J. E. Canavan; Bridgeport, J. H. Freeman; Waterbury, J. Knorr and Harry Cornan. Options Held Without Payment. Investigation disclosed that the New Haver park was held on an option for which one dollar had been paid; that the Waterbury park was held on an option for which one dollar had been paid; that the Springfield park was held on an option by J. A. Zeller, and that the Hartford option was heid by J. A. Zeller. The option ‘in Hartford was questioned and the following com- munication presented to the committee, dated Hartford, Jan. 22, 1916: “There has not been any option on Charter Oak park for baseball, but we are open for a proposition from any responsible parties which would pay a revenue to the park. (Stgned) “J. A. PILGARD." Affairs in Hartford. Mr. Erwin, however, presented a communication from 'C. H. Martin stating that J. A. Zeller held an option expiring Feb. 1. Mr. Erwin stated publicly in the meeting that he would willingly withdraw from Hartford if the present holder of baseball proper- ty valued at $25,000 desired to con- tinue. The merger interests contended that the report of the Eastern assocla- tion presented ‘a paper circuit” only and of very doubtful financial responsi- bility and that on only three of the six citles was the Eastern association able to secure local ownership and that “16 men owning clubs in 13 cities and representing an investment in baseball of more than $150,000 have expressed a desire for the merger and have taken care of property rights of every one. Bridgeport would o into the merger according to the proposi- tion of Jan. 10. This leaves Mr. Zeller and Mr. O'Rourke as the only obstruc- ticnists In reply to the admonition of the board that property right must be taken care of, the following report was received: To Take Care of Club Owners. “At a meeting held in Boston on Dec. 21, 1915, arrangements were mads, to take care of those club owners whose citles would not be included in the merger. Fitchburg is to be taken care of by a financial reimbursement satis- factory to the club owner. The Lewis- ton ciub is to become a part owner of the Lynn club and the members of the Manchester franchise are to become interested in the Lowell fran- chise. This arrangement was absolute- 1y satisfactory to every one concerned ang takes care of the property rights o: every one in the New England league. Minutes of Meeting Dec. 30. “We have the minutes of the meet- ing of Dec. 30, presided over by Mr. Brazer. All eight clubs of the New England league were repre- sented. The three retiring clubs of the New England league were repre- sented as follows: Lewiston, J. W. Burns and T. D. Leonard; Fitchburg, by L. P. Pieper: Manchester, by J. Smith, John Kiernan and Thomas Keady. The minutes show an under- standing was reached in open meeting as to the terms on which the three clubs were to discontinue and further reveal that a recess of 15 minutes was declared in order that the interested parties should retire to another room and make certain that the understand- ing was complete. On reconvening the chalr announced that every one was eatisfled with the arrangements. The minutes show that Mr. Carey then 1d: ‘As this is to be a matter of rec- rd, I desire to have positive assur- ances so that there will be no reflec- tion back on this meeting, and will ask the individuals interested person- aly if they are all agreeabls as to arrangements made. Mr. Roach, is everything satisfactory? “Answer by Mr. Roach: ‘Everything is satisfactory. I will take care of Manchester men in Lowell. “Answer by Mr. Smith: Bverything is all right. The Lowell club wiil take ocave of Mr. Keady and Mr. Kierney ang that is all I want* (By Mr. Burns); “Am satisfled wif arrangements made with Mr. Frazer. That there may be no question as to the veracity of the minutes, a certi- fled copy was made under oath before a justice of the peace by the secretary of the meetinz. Investigation of base- NORWICH BULLETIN, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1916 ball investment in Springfleld, Mass., held by W. E. Carey, and conservative- ly_estimated approximates $23,900 of which $9,000 was paid for the fran- chise and the balance for buildipg and furpishing the plant. Amount of Investments. In Hartford the Cameron estate in- vestment amounts to $35,000. In_Hartford the Investments of J. H. Clarkin totals $29,500 of ‘which $10,000 was paid for franchise and the bajance for building of plant. In balancing these three investments in the agsregate amounting to 393,400 against two one dollar options and & fitty dollar option, the committee is unanimously 5f {hé opinion that these large -nvestments must be safeguard- cd. Mr. Carey states: “The Eastern Asscciation in 1914 as a whole suffer- od a loss of about $60,000 ana I was forced to p.ace a mortgage of three theueand dollars on my plant to pay salaries at the close of the season. Bridgerert Franchise. We find that the Bridzeport fran- chise is owned by J. H. Freeman and the the rlaying grounds by J. H. O'Rourke 2nd that Bridgeport agreed to the merger on January 10, 1916, pro- viding some $1600 charged as league dues was paid and $8,000 was paid to dissolve the Pittsfield franchise. In Pittsfcld we find that the fran- chise originally cost $750 and improve- mentc about $£,500, most of which amount was subscribed by citizens. Wire From Mr. Plant. We have received a wire from Mr. Plant. cwner cf the New London fran- chise, w'ithdrawing from the Eastern Association sna casting his lot with the merger interests. In the last analysis, we find that four of the six original club members of the Eastern Association are on record as favoring a merger of the Dbest interests of baseball in the com- munity, We find that sevce of the eight New linniznd club owners favor merger. Thix alliance constitutes an overwhelmir § majority of club owners with large finencial interests in both circles. Public Demand For Merger. The committes is free to express its opinion that it finds a public demand fer_the merger. These two corsponent interests, viz, invested prcperty rizhts and a gen- uine public force the conclusion upon your committee that the best interests of basetall will Be conserved by the allowing of the merger requested. Reimbursements Allowed. 1t is the ruling that J. A. Zeller of Pitisfiela be allowed $3,500 to reim- burse him for the dissolution of his franchise, and that the expense ac- count of J. . O'Rourke be allowed as $1005. Tpon receipts of checks Within 15 days or secured notes within 35 doys in this cffice, to extent not over two years, this order will become ef- fective for a ten club circuit, compris- ing the towns of Lowell, Lawrence, Worcester, Portland and Lynn, of the New England_league, and Bridgeport, New FHaven, Hartford, New London and Sprinzelfid of the Eastern Aseo- ciation. Again one of the retiring clubs, ‘MancEester, we have on file several salary arrearage claims of players, which must be paid through this office wi'kin ten days in order to permit the club in question to be- come eligible to- participate in the merger plan. O'Rourke Expected Merger. James H. O'Rourke, president of the Fastern Association, commenting on the merger decision regarding _the Eastern Association and the New Eng- land league tonight said: “I expected it. The report from Au- burn merely covers the track of the merger men. It ignores the princl- ples of law which are entirely in_our favor. The ruling ignores the laws and constitution of organized baseball and is based on mere statements. There is no justification for the de- cision. 1 shall consult the directors of the Fastern Association, Jack Zeller, Hugh Reddy and John H. Freeman. We have the choice of an appeal to he national board, the national com- mission and to the law courts. It is up to the directors to the Eastern As- sociation. (Signed) G. BARROW, T. H. MURNANE, J. H.

In the Northern section of the English league Manchester City increased its lead over the second place teams, Everton and Burnley. Kverton tied Burnley last week. Liverpool also made a big jump toward the top of the heap. in the Midling section of the same leazue Sheffield United gained two points on Notts Forest while Hudders- field Town and Sheffeld Wednesday changed places. In the reopened London section, Watford jumped from Construction of motor truck bodies intended for general work seemingly does not demand ingenuity or special training, for what can be regarded as stardard types (hat is—platform or ex- press—are supplied by a majority of the builders of the machines, and a buyer is justified in assuming that such equipment is designed to meet the chassis requirements or in other words, “to fit.” Some of the truck manufacturers prefer to sell the chassis only, be- cause body building can only be done profitably with adequate facilities and tools and expert workers, or what may be termed a complete wood working shop, operated in connection with the factory, and as work of this charac- ter is, as a rule, done apart from the supervision of the buyer, it cannot be modified or changed save at the cost of at least delay and the expense for materials and labor. So far as the shop is concerned, special production is expensive be- cause the prices obtained cannot suf- flciently exceed those charged for stock bodles to ineure a resonable pro- fit. Not only this, the purchaser of a chassis believes that he ought to re- ceive discounts if he orders -body equipment, and cannot understand that such concessions are actually price cutting. From one viewpoint a truck manu- facturer ought to produce both body and chassls cheaper than if these were purchased separately, and this is ac- cepted by those Who have not exper- fence, but those who have endeavored to supply bodies have found that to do this eatisfactorily a thoroughly equip- ped shop must be maintained and this placed in charge of a man who has capacity to design and construct as well as organize and direct. Another experience is that truck building is an entirely different industry from body other stationary. The only change of importance in the Scoltish race was the replacement of the Hearta by Morton.

The dray disc type with asbestos fabric lining Mr. Huft considers the most efficient. There has been a great awakening among the owners of transportation and delivery systems regarding the economy of motor trucks, It is be- lleved that the European war and the remarkable service that trucks have afforded there is largely responsible for the greater interest of business men in power transportation. Never before has a new mechanical device received such an extensive and such attention-compelling a demonstra- ion, and Amer n truck makers are reaping the benefits in their domes- tic market. Two of the first three industries of the United States are largely de pendent upon the automobile industry, Which is officially fourth in rank. Referring to the metal and lumber trades of the former hundreds of thousands of tons were used in 1915 motor cars, while an enormous quan- tity of harwood was consumed in the relation of the great leather, rub- ber, glass, paint and cloth trades to automobile _ building. Recent statis- tics show the following totals enter- ing into the construction of last year's motor car output; Seven hundred and sixty thousand tons of fabricated steel; 8,430 board | feet of manufactured wood: 67,232 leather hides; 3,250,000 square yards of imitation leather; 11405250 yards of top material and linings, 489,356 yards of burlap—and so on through the long list of materials en- tering into the modern automobile. Just think for a moment of the vast number of people interested in the production of a car. Workers in steel and lumber, employing millions of men, are but examples. Men of the jungles, the forests, the highways, the mills, the foundries—all are favorably affected through the wonderful sale of automobiles. Literally millions of men in 1915 participated, directly or indi- Tectly in the $691,778,950 which the au- tomobile output brought in the retail market. To realize what all this means to business in general, it is but neces- sary to stop and ponder that this vast army of men to whom the rise of the motor car industry has meant so much, are in turn important consum- ers of every necessary, and many of the luxuries of life. You occasionally meet a man who professes to believe that the demand for motor cars has hurt other lines of business. He is not a thinker.” The report of the State Board of Public Roads ehows that there were in Rhode Island Jan. 1, 1916, 17,000 motor vehicles, for which 23,000 persons heid drivers_licenses. This is one car to every 35 of the population. A year ago the number of cars in the state was 13,058, showing an increase in 12 months of 3942 motor vehicles. What is done when ball bearings are reground and put in a condition “as good as new” is to grind the race-ways and to insert new balls of a slightly larger diameter to take up the space ground away. The circumference of the Outxida af the heaving is in no way reduced, nor is the inside ring of the bearing larger or smaller than before. It i very necessary in regrinding the Dearing to make sure that the outer diameter is not changed even 50 much as one one-thousandth of ans inch. The same is true of the inmer diameter and of the width. After a bearing has been ground, and before it is remounted, it is of the greatest importance to see that it is cleaned properly. The presence of any foreign material in the bearing will cause a great deal of trouble and will soon result in a defective bearing again. Every care should be taken not only that the bearing is well lubri~ cated in use, but that the lubrication is of the right Kind. Bearing _manufacturers make the’ bearing rings of a_ special mates scientifically selected and treated am tested to be sure that it possesses ev= ery necessary quality. This is the only y in_which it is possible to assure a durable bearing. With the successful 1916 New York and Chicago shows over, officials of the various automobile companies have returned to their factories to hasten production of cars in order to meet the demand. Both the New York and Chicago shows broke all records for attendance and sales, to say nothing of prospects, so that 1916 promise to be the most successtul year in the history of the industry. This is the first year that there has not been a general policy of storing cars by the manufacturers and deal- ers for the spring rush, but with the all year touring types and the seif- starter, which has allowed for gener- | al winter use of motor cars, the win- ter sales have been so great that the | factories have been unable to keep up with the demand. | "~ RADWAY &CO.
