Y., by Edward Collins and Charles Herzog, captains of the rival teams. ! The commission promised to take the matter under immediate advise. ment. President Tener of the N tional League, a member of the com: mission, said the request of the play. receive their full shares. White Sox Win From Giants. The Chicago White Sox, winners of the 1917 world’s series, defeated the New York Giants in an exhibition game at Garden City today by a score of 6 to 4, before six thousand soldiers from Camp Mills in Mineola. The sol- diers were members of the 165th TUnited States Infantry, most of them New Yorkers, and of the 145th Artil- lery, composed of men from Iiinois. Al who started for New York, was .easy for the champion: who scored in the first three innings while Benz of Chicago held New York runless. New York scored off Wil- liams in the fifth, but the White Sox i i H MARKET WAS BUOYANT But the Undertone of the List Was Nervous and Hesitant. New York, Oct. 16.—Stocks made material recoveries today from recent minimums, but the undertone of the list was often mnervous and hesitant. Definite denial of various adverse ru- mors, including one which hinted at the closing of the exchange, and the bopes based upon tomorrow’s hearing of the eastern railroads before the in- terstate commerce commission, servid tc_sustain prices after the first hour. President Wilson’s appeal for the mobilization of the country’s banking resources and the large additional sub- scriptions to the Liberty loan were factors of more than sentimental value. Shorts covered extensively in all the more active issues, thielr operations contributing largely to{the general re- bound. United ‘States Steel' was prominent througAout the session for its relative strength. From an early decline to 95 3-4 the stock rose easily to 103 5-8, closing at 103 1-4, & net gain of § 1-4. Steel again supplied WrtdWh. one- third of the day’s total of . 1,000,000 shares. Gains in other leaders were no less substantial, ranging from one to three. roints among the high grade rails, one to four in representative indus- trials, one to three in coppers, ship- pings and_utilities, and two to five in the varled assortment of specialtles, some of which figure in the war group. Even the tobaccos. motors and other speculative issues in recent disfavor rallied briskly and minor rails also improved percertibly. Final quotations in the main were neat the day's high- est_levels. 3 Call money ruled at 2 1-2 to 4 pef cent., and time loans were in greater demand but in light supply, except for the shorter periods. Bonds were irregular, the trend in investments being slighily lower. Lib- erty 3 1-2s moved in the narrow range of "99.70 to 99.76. Total sales (par value) aggregated $6,450.000. U.

Before next spring rolls around New Haven fans may see a big chanse in Eastern league baseball. While no final disposition of the New Haven fran- chise has been made and nothing sure about arrangsments for next season have been planned, there is a_scheme on foot to tdke Eastern league baseball to Lighthouse Ioint in 1918. It is re- ported that James T. Collins has had his fill of baseball and’is anxious to! get out from ia under. He took over the New Haven franchise from the Cameron estate two years ago and financially Jim has made a flat failure. The first season everything broke | bad and besides losing plenty of money the club finished in sixth place with a most miserable showing. Last season the club won the Eastern league cham- pionship and still Owner Collins lost money. Losing moncy while winning a pennant has caused Mr. lollins to believe there is rothims in baseball in this locolity and he is_ anxious to dispose of his hcldings and retire from the national pastime. Rumor has it that a certain local business man will be interested in the New Haven club next season and that he has already practically decided up- | on his business manager, who is ai man of baseball and business experi. cnce and one who will make gooa if | there is such a thing as making good with Eastern league ball here: ' The man whose name is connected with the club for the next season, it is stated, desires to try out Lighthouse Point where Sunday games may be played. Severai attempts have been made the past two seasons to get Sun-. day ball at Savin Rock, but a certain element in West Haven blocks the deal every time and’ Sunday ball falls by the wayside. It is figured that with Sunday ball a club in New Haven would pay and that a promoter might | be able to knock out a summer liveli- | hood. This is considered the only chance of making the sport pay | around here. In case the man takes over the. clup and makes Lighthouse Point the home park, it is said that he desires the services of Danny Murphy 28 manager,-owing to the fine showing Murphy made the past season with the club. STANLEY KETCHEL HUNG UP ENVIABLE RECORD { Many Fighters Have Tried to Fill Ketchel’s Shoes But F: Seven years ago this week a mad- man, shot and killed one of the great- est—if not the greatest—middleweights that ever lived. _And that man was Stanley Ketchel. In* the era since then a thgusand battlers—and more— have tried to fill his place. But each and every one has failed Ketchel established a knockout rec- crd that probably never will be beat- He fought 55 battles during his career—and won 44 with sleep pro- ducing punches. i He feared no living man. When he | had cleared the 158 pound diyision of . foes, he went into the heavyweight class and tscok on big fellows as fast as they came. He fought Jack John- son when the negro was at the abso: lute crest of his career, and “spotted” i kim- nearly 50 pounds; ¥For 10 rounds | he ‘gave the giant colored man a, furi- ous batfle, but affer that Johnson's 1 and won his only two with knockouts. i In 1904 he fought one draw, lost two decision fights to Maurice Thompson and won the other nine with knockout walleps. In 1905 his fight fight was a knock out_triumph over Kid Thomas in round. His second battle was a draw with Jack (Twin) Sullivan” And then Ketchel cut loose. He fought 21 bat- tles between May 2, 1905, and May 2 1907—and each resulted in a knockout victory for outs that seems to know no equal in modern pugilizm, Here is a summarv. of Ketchel's ca- reer that tells its own story of his greatness: | Total Fights ..

'POLY 2 1 Troy, X, Ot —The “celes- tial smile” fhat is *child-like and kland” never failed Pao-Shun Kwan, the only full-blooded Chinese quar- terback on a college eleven, as he was given his first opportunity to get into the game on the Rensselaer Polytech- nic Institute eleven against New York University. Kwan is unusually fleet- footed, uses his head in leading the team and is full of “pep” every min- ute that he has his football togs on. This rare specimen, a8 real Chinese athlete, owes much to the graining of his prep’ school days at Mercers- burg Academy In Pennsylvania, and last year made the quarterback posi- tion on the freshman eleven of Ren- sselaer Poly’. During the practice this week Kwan has been running the In- stitute second team and undoubtedly will be given further opportunity to get into other college games before the end of the present season.
