Several conferences of athlstic gov- erning bodies, both amateur and pro- fessional, wili be held in New York Quring the present month and the outeome 6f these deliberations are ex- pected to have,a far reaching effect upor sport during the next twelve months.” These annual meetings in- clude the gathering of the National League of Professional Baseball Clubs. the International League, The United States National Lawn Tennis Asso- ciation. The Board of Stewards of the { Intercollamiate Rowing Association and ithe National Collegiate Athletic As- * sociation. . Each in turn will carefully consider * the outlook for the 1918 season in that particular branch of sport which it verns or over which it holds ad- oy jurisdiction. In a general way be said thit almost without ex- these ofganizations are pre- % to advoeate a comtinuation, of ics within - sush limitatons as ~be deersed advisable or neces- 2 . Theré;is no denying, however, | that" the war has greatly changed the of ‘gl forms of competition ‘ufl that to’a large exttnt the game is Wow intended for those who through age limits, vocational exemption or ~~ other causes, are not engaged in the more serious business o fthe moment. Under these conditions radical changes are to be expected and will _®be made in the code or playing rules "ef the various organizations. The Na- tional League will advocate a reduc- tion of the players’ roster of each club to a maximum of eighteen among other innovations. The restoration of tennis championship play under certain_restrictions will be proposed By leaders of the court and racquet game. The college athletic advisory body will suggest certain changesand substitations for varsity and inter- myral athletics while the rowing and ifrack meet authorities have as yet ‘sanounced no definite policy for the _coming year. In view of the elimination of all state, sectional and championship ten- - nis tournaments during 1917 the fol- lowing semi-officia] announcement of thé tennis solons is perhaps the most imj it to date. t is belleved that a resolution will presented to the executive com- mittee, recommending to the annual Teeting that next season tournaments be played as they were before war was declared. This implies a return championships' and ranking of Payers, :poth men and women, who compete in events sanctioned by the National Association.” HERE IS THE Fountain Pen ‘'YOU'HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR ¢ Non-Leakable Self-Filling Wy ONE DOLLAR but as good Lany that selis for FIVE DOLLARS.

Bridgeport, Conn., Dee, 10.—Johnny Dundee of New York teased and toyed with Batiling Kunz. of this city here tonight and in the fifth round knocked him out. It was a one-sided bout with the New Yotker in command of the sitpation from the outset. A vol- ley of hard blows to the right side of Kunz's body proved his undoing. In the fourth round a stiff left hand hook dropped Kunz for the count of ninme. In 2 semi-final’ bout of ‘ten rounds Mickey Donley of Newark outclassed Red Allen of Bridgeport. George Pro- to-of New Haven outpointed Al Ritchie of Providence in a fast eight rounds, while Frankie Wilson of this city and Frank ‘Brodiso of New Haven went six rounds fo a draw.

POWERS ANXIOUS TO MEET K. O. PALITZ. Malden Boy Says Nothing ill Give Him Greater Pleasure Than to Meet K. O. SO Everything is set' for the best box- ing exhibition that local ring fans have Ter seen in this city. The Pastime thletic club reports the fighters to be in’ excellent condition and that a fast ‘bout between Palitz and Powers is as- sured. 2 Dave Powers and K. O. Palitz of New London have met twice before and In these two matches the homors MARKET WAS, IRREGULAR gs Were Small—A Number of Specialties Fejl Sharply. New York, Dce. 10——Stocks moved in a‘hesitant and irregular manner today, to the accompaniment of an in- significant turnover. Important shares fluctuated within a. two -point radius, but a number of specialties sharply. “American Tobacco made an extreme decline of 21 1-2 points to 140 in con- nection with the proposed issue of an additional 350,000,000 of treasury shares and some of that company's subsidiaries broke 15 to 1§ points. Uncertainty marked the course of rafls, Pacifics and a few coalers reg- istering gross gains. of one to two points, while St. Paul preferred and Atchison preferred touched new mini- mum. Atlantic Coagl Line was in. cluded among other issues to repeat their lowest feature of the quotations of recent years. Steels were the steadiest features of the industrial and equipment groups, with moderate stremgth in coppers and shippings, but profit-tak- ing effaced a large of this advan- tage at the close. Sales amounted to 280000 shares. Call, money’s rise to six per cent.., and tdmporary withdrawal of time funds served as an additioanl deul‘- rent to speculative operations. ‘Weakness of Fréench issues, Vh'tua'l- ly all making lowest records since their. flotation in this market ,was the overshadowing feature- of the bond market. Liberty 4is sold at 97.16 to 97.50 and the 3 1-2's at 98.46 to 98.80. Totslo sales (par value) aggregated $4,- 150 000. On call 0ld U. 8. 4's lost 1-8 of one per cent. and the. Panama 3's two per cent. * Safsaasf T TR o ii!i!i:;fEEEEgEEEEEI’EIFEEIIFI’BEIIE E;:E{-: il ifi; E L sfl;flgg;gfliiiii!l R | Rewmas, Bt Only 1etzd 5 ‘mm&w"fio‘mlfia‘m‘ b feli | 18 Seconds— eld it New Mistates and e hxve befin about even, although nn Malden lad had a shade on Palits. Palitz reports that he can easily make 145 by 6 o'clock on the night-of the fight and that by the time he steps into the ring he will be at hia best. Powers has been in rigid. training for some time and his weight is in the neighborhood of 145 now. Powers is anxious to get at Palits and when he posted his forfeit eaid: “Nothing gives me greater pleasure than to get an- other chance at K. O. Palitz.” Powers is out to win in short order and Palitz is equally confident, so it looks like a fast ‘bout. The bout betwsen Young Deal and Marty Allen looks like a fast one. Many Norwich people have seen Deal in ‘action.and know he is 3 comer, but as to Allen they can only’judge from reports, which are highly favorable to the New York boy. Tommy Winters. is known to local fans and ehould give Battling Green of Hartfard atough go. FEARLESS-FIVE. WINS TWO HARD GAMES.

Sentiment in favor of a reconstruc- tion of college athiletics after the war upon what has been ‘termed a safe and sane.basis, is said to'Dbe increas- irg at easter neducatiol institutions and is lkely to be. the of con- sideration at the Coming annual meet- ing -of the National Coilegiate Ath. An idea of the attl tude in this direction as the resuit of the’ what might be: considered. exper: ments’ conducted during ‘the footbal season just closed, can be gained from two statements from- prominent east- ern \universities -touching upon the subject. President Faunce, of Brown Univer- sity, in a recent addfess upon. ecollege athletics at the Providence institu- tion, - said “We are well pleased with the re- sult .of .keepimg up intercolegiate sportes on a simple and inexpensive bdsis in war-time. Out of our last year’s footbail squad of 50 men, 39 en- tered the service. This seems toshow that wholesome outdoor sports, kept within bounds are a good preparation for the soldiers life. If our camnps cannot go without outdoor® games, cur colleges need mnot fear to encourage them. [Let us hope that the enforeed absence- training tables in all our col- leges, and hnge expendiiures and flaring vublicity for individuals means | i the. introduction of saner policies when | the war is ended, and- that the over- siness of securing. gate re- sive way to.the oKy of cotlege boys who, sy, become fner and Stronger men. Ymost simultaneonsly . the Yal Alumni Weckly, in reviewing, the foot- buil season at New Haven, printed the fcllowing commentar: “A look-ahead suggests at least one fermidable en:d Football will be re- imed .. at Y .as at Ifaryard and Princeton, Just ‘as soon as.conditiors at present beyond the control of any ndividuals permit.
