A New York, Dec. 12.—Routine ‘Busi- ness occupied the attention of the Na- tional League' magnates here today during the first session of the annual meeting which is expected to continue untll Thursday. The more important subjects, such o s in the series regulations; the Inter- national League defiance of the: na- tional commission in the -matter of the $9,000 award. to the - Brooklyn club; the Barney s-Gary Herrmann controversy and the possi- ble reprimand of Manager John J."Mc- Gmw of the New Tork Nationals for his ou ~against his players in the final Brooklyn-New York series at the close of the pennant season were not mentioned, according to the official re- port of the meeting. The meeting was preceded by a cen- ference of the board -of directors at the close of which it was announced that most of the session had been taken up in listening to fiscal reports and the formal-awarding of the 1916 pennant to the Brooklyn club. After luncheon the presidents and other rep. resentatives of the eight clubs assem- bled and the session continued until after six olclock. . During the after- noon the league officers and the club executives listened to reports by Pres- ident John K. Tener and Secretary John A. Heydler. -+ Disability List Abolishod. The magndtes abolished the disabil- ity list under which clubs were per- mitted last season to carry extra play- ers and adopted a new rule for 1917 wllowing each club to carry twenty- two players from May-15 to August 31 in place of the 21 player rule in vogue in 1916. At other periods of the sea- son the thirty-five player regulation will prevail as heretofore. The committee on constitution was Instructed to draw up an amendment for adoption at the meeting February increasing the board of directors from five to eight, which yirtually means that hereafter evi elup president will be a member of.this bdard, instead of_eight being left ont. Several other subjects also came be- fore the meeting, includinx a short report by G. W.

Both requests were tabled for further consideration. Tener Comments on -World’ Rules. President Tener, in his report, rec- ommended that official action be taken by the league looking to revision of the world’s series rules, especially with the view of setting aside a part of the players’ percentage for distribution among the players of other clubs not participating in the series, the.same to be apportioned on the relative standing of these clubs in their re- spective Jeagues. ‘The report aiso ‘commented on the restoration of peace in baseball, which resulted in the league as a whole enjoying its most successful season, the attendance in 1916 being greater than.in any other season in the histery of fthe league, surpassing the previous banner season of 1909, Secretary Heydler’s report showed 98 postponed games during the season, of which 22 were in April and 27 in June. Ninety-nine double headers were played and during the season 14,774 baseballs were used—an increase of 1,526 over the 1915 season. - New York used the greatest number and Pitts- burgh the least. s Mitchell May Manage the Cubs. President Charles Weeghman of the Chicago club stated that he was not ready to make a statement on his ef- forts to engage a manager for the coming season but that he hoped to | complete a deal before the meeting ad- Series STOCK MARKET CONCLUSIVE. Important Stocks Fell Away Five to Ten Points—Bethlehem Steel Regis- tered 27 Point Los: New York, Dec. 12.—The stock mar- ket was thrown into a state of convul- sion today on the news that the cens tral powers had instituted peace ne- gotiations. The announcement was followed by an avalanche of selling which more than taxed the market's powers ~of absorp@on. Important stocks fell away 5 to 10 points and in one instance—Bethlehem Steel, fore- most of “war brides”—an extreme loss of 27 points was registered Rails were the only shares to mang ifest any degree of resistance al- though in that quarter losses of 2 to 3 points were numerous, with 3 1-2 for Reading. No division of the Jist ‘was immune from the heavy liquida- tion, which was at its flood in the last hour. Trading at that time was so en- ormous that the tickers were twenty minutes behind actual operations. Short @overings served in some in- stances to ease final prices, but in no noteworthy cases were rallies more than nominal. Many weak-margined accounts were thrown over and “stop loss” orders, with which the market seemed to be honeycombed, constitut- ed a large part of the day’s busi- ness. Total sales were 2,500.000 shares. the largest amount, according to authen- tic records, since the reopening of the exchange in December, 1914, and sel- dom exceeded. Of this tofal United States Steel and the so-called war group contributed ‘an unusually larse proportion. The decline in stocks was accom- panfed by further remoralization in rates of exchange to Germany and Austria, with a fall to another mini- mum in Anglo-French bonds. These operations were partly rectified be- fore the close of the session. The day was not without ‘its bright side, aithough developments, of that nature were complete: overshadow- ed by the news from abroad. The Westérn Union Telegraph company declared an extra dividend of one per cent. and the Allis-Chalmers Company ordered the payment of another defer- req dividend amounting to 1 1-2 per cent,, accruing to preferred stock Domestic bonds and general issues of that class were heavy to weak. To- tal sales (par value) were: $5,575,000. T. S. bonds were unchanged®on cail. STOCKS 2 High. 154 Low. 14 50 Close. Crucitle Steel pf Cila Cane' Sugar. Cula Canc Sugar pf ..

Bob Folwell, the Quaker coach, left New Haven on Thursday. after a long session with the Yale officials, who assured him that his team would have a chance to play the Blue within the next few years. 1t wag announced that Lehigh and Washington and Jefferson would not Dbe found ‘on the Eli bookings for next fall. The management is planninz two innovations. One is to give a Massa- chusetts college team a date. and it is likely tha ta challenge will be sent either to Amherst or Williams soon. Yale has met Amherst oftener than’ Williams, and indications are that this college may get the open date, about October 15, Indications are that University of North Carolina will be invited to come to New Haven for the other date. Yale has mever met this team, which is coached by Dr. Arthur Brides, the Yale line instructor. Aside from the addition of Carolina and either Amherst or Wil- {liams to the Yale scbedule, and .the subtraction of Lehizh and Washinston and Tefferson ffo changes are contem- plated.

ANOTHER DAY OF DEBATE ON IMMIGRATION BILL Over Exclusion of Aliens on Account of Race. Washington. Dec. 12.—After anoth- {er aay of debate over ihe exclusion of ense on account of race, the sen- ate late toduy adopted the committes amendment to the immigration bill which woild bar Hindus and certain ther Asiatias ithout mentioning them by name, with an added provi- sion stipulating that nothing in the act shall be construed to repeal any existing law, treaty or - agreement ch serves to prohibit or restrict immigration. . This added stipulation, proposed by Senator Phelan of California, is de- signed to renlace the direct reference to the so-called “gentlemen’s agree- ment” with Japan, which was strick- en out of the house bill by the senate commitime at the request of the state department. The committee amendment prescrib- es cgtain zeographical aveas from which immigrants shall mot be admit- ted instead of naming the races or na- tionalities as was donme in_ the bill as it passed the house. During the debate Senator Lodge and Senator Phelan engaged in a lively colloquy, the former insisting that it was need- jless to insert in the bill any reference to agreements because they would not strengthen the position of the United { States. “It i sa' great mistake,” said Sena- tor Lodge, “for this congress to give wanton and needless offense to a | friendly nation. by which we gain ab- solutely nothing.” Senator Phelan' declared that after the bill had passed the house certain Japanese busybodies objected and that he thought “this government ought to BONAR.
