Up- on this occasion it is expected that Grand Exalted Ruler James R. Nich- olson, of Springfield, Mass., chief offi- cer of the whole order of Elks, will be the guest of honor. Inasmuch as Springfleld is Mr. Ni- cholson's home, it is deemed appro- priate to have Springfield the oppos- ing club on Elks’ day. June 7 Spring- field is due to play New London and that will be the date if Mr. Nichol- son’s schedule will allow of his com- ing here on that day. Local Elks, it is expected, turn out in numbers, to do honor to the srand exalted ruler and also in com- pliment to the ball team. Eiks' day lanned three years ago but it and upset the plans. ‘Commodore Morton F. Plant, owner of the'New London team, is & mem- ber of New London lodge. So are leger. Steve Mlnnlnx. the right fleldar is a member of Sagi- naw, Mich., lodge and other of the players are members of out-of-town lodges, No definite plans have yet been made, bnt the program will be ar- soon as it is known what date Grama Wxaited Ruler Nicholson can come here. Columbia Retains Clean Sheet. Columbia kept its string of victor- ies unbroken Saturday by defeating the Fordham University nine on Ford- ham Field, by a score of 7 to 1. Jim McQuade did not start the game for Fordham, so Columbia scored six of its seven runs off Martin, in the first inning. The other came on an error when McQuade went on the mound. After the first inning the game de- veloped into a pitchers® battle between George Smith and McQuade. Colum- bia had men on the bases in every inning, but the Fordham twirler was particularly effective in the pinches and, aided by improved flelding, held the Blue and White in check. Jack Ness Refuses to foin Orioles. Chicago, April 30.—Jack Ness, the hard-hitting first baseman by the White Sox from the Oakland Cons Tenmis ol and recently sold to Baltimore, has declined to join the Ori- oles.

The previous record was 24 4-5 sec- onds, established in 1908, and equalled last year by Kelley. SATURDAY'S MARKET. Feverish Activity in Mercantile rine Featured the Session. New York, April 29.—Trading dur- ing today’s short session was almost completely dwarfted by the = further feverish activity of Mercantile Marine at advancing prices. The preferred shares made an extreme gain of 6 3-8 to the new high record of 91 and the common rose a point to 25 1-8 or 1-4 under its maximum quotation, made early in.the week. Continued dealings in these issues gated 110,000 shares, or over 25 per cent. of the total operation. Demand for Marines was so insistent as to convey the impression of a con- test for control, despite recent unoffi- clal statements to the effect that new and important interests are already dominant. It is not probable that today’s upswing presages an early is- sue of a reorganization plan, to which the various contending factions in the company will find it advisable to_subscribe. The rest of the list was Irregular and besitant at the outset bue because more active in the final hour under the lead of such mixed specialties as Distillers’ securities, P. S. Industrial Alcohol, the Motors, Petroleums and American Locomotive. In these and similar issues extreme gains of 3 to almost 6 points were scored and largely retained. Kails and other standard stocks were a disappointment to those who looked for a continuance of their re- cent strength. Shares of this class were dull and pressure was effeqtiv throughout with moderate losses. U. f , Steel followed the course of the rails, rising only the smallest fraction and closing unchanged. Total sales of stocks amounted to 410,000 shares. There were further favorable rail- way returns for March, Reading re- porting a surplus increase of over $900,000 and Canadian Pacific a net gain of $448,000. Trade reports again referred outimistically to country- wide activity in wholesale and job- bing lines and predictions of higher prices for steel and iron were free- 1y_made. Bonds were strong but without any expaneion of dealings. Total sales (par vnl\la) aggregated $1,890,000. 8. bonds were unchanged on call tluou:hnm the. week. STOCKS.

WRAPPED IN the time Mr. Potter grinned and slid over a few more hot ones. But to come down to real baseball Putnam was outclassed from the start, Willimantic men had all the stuff, Juck favored them and—well, Putnam lost, 8 to 4. That's about all there is to it. For eight innings Willimantic kept Putnam from scoring. In_the eighth Putnam got a taste and piled up four runs. But it was too late and Willi- mantic went home victorious. Poor work in the Putnam outfield was responsible for many of the visit- ors’ taldes. But Putnam offers no ex- cuses. They were beaten and know it. Pickett, Windham, kept the fans warm by giving them some clever batting Three hits are credited to him. Shaw, Putnam, fanned 12 batters. A Raferty on second for the locals played a fast game, as did Riley and Kenyon of the visitors. e: meummnnnabs 2 cHeoHonsse Shinavennel St enmueus bR | a course in-domestic science, but are | simply explaining the brand of base- bell that the Thread City nine used this afternoon to so overwhelm Put- nam that they still are wondering what happened. Putnam had a bad attack of baseball indigestion; and no wonder. Who could stand up and fall for all the tempting morsels that Windham offered and not be the worse for wear? Potter sedved ’‘em hot (curves, we mean), then he served ‘em cold. Later they looked like hash. Anyway, Put- nam bit at them all—and fished and fanned and didn’t do a thing. And all MEREDITH GREATER IN DEFEAT THAN VICTORY Great Penn Runner Equals Record in His Efforts to Place Quakers on Top. Ted Meredith, the University of Pennsylvania’s Olympic champion, is greater in defeat than in victory.
