Sullivan said Friday eve- ning that on Washington's Birthday he will stage a bout between two well known Connecticut boxers, in whom all boxing followers are interested. Robinson, who has been rinding for the past fow wecks to get into trim for his bout with Carroll, will arrive in town this morning and will have a light workout. Robinson states that tie is out to win as he has been anx- fous to get a_chance at Carroll for a long time. Carroll seems to be just ag well pleased at the chance to fake a crack at Robinson as he realizes that he must beat the Boston lad in order to get a chance at other boxers. Both Carroll and Robinson are to weigh in at 170 pounds at 6 o'clock. The semi-final promises to be a hot- 1y contested bout and both fighters will be out to win. The preliminary bout is between two local youngsters who, although they have not boxed a great deal before the local fans, promise to put up a fast exhibition. Red Rankin of the Falls is fast ang wiry and has a punch in each hand. Eddie Mack of Greeneville who is under the direction of Barney Keenan, is also there with the hard- hitting ' left.

Several of the owners were less op- timistic. The meeting was behind closed doors. 3 After several hours discussion the meeting was adjourned until March 1. President Farrell announced that the unanimous opinion of the owners was to defer action until that date, hoping that in the interim the affairs of the league would clear sufficiently to war- Tant permanent steps being taken.

Jan. 24—Political and economic factors continued to weigh upon the stock market today, although there’ was a moderate rally, due in part to short covering at the end. Fools were again active in minor specialties, but the lack of public interest in rep- resentative shares was an obvious drawback. Peace rumors, government financ- ing, the freight embargo and fuel shortage were among the conflicting clements that affected the moderate dealings in varying degree. Trade an- thorities agreed that as vet indust conditions showed little improvement | I« from the government's closure decree. Greater ease was displayed in the market for call loans which opened at 3 1-2 per cent, the lowest initial rate thus far this year, but time funds, while quotably unchanged, were scarce to_the point of complete withdrawal. That investment money still seeks an outlet was seen in the larger over- subscription to the $5,000,000 New York city revenue warrants, whick were dis- posed at a price averaging slightly over 4 1-2 per cent. Market leaders moved in a verv nar- row groove, rails evincing a reaction- ary trend on presentation to congress of a railroad bill somewhat different from that originally projected. Seasoned industrials, shippings and active specialties were responsive to the more general support of the last hour, the list closing with a firm tone. Sales amounted to 310,000 shares. International issues. especially the French group, were slightly higher. Liberty 3 1-2's made a new low rec- ord at 98, first fours also establishing a new minimum at 96.70 and the sec- ond fours varying from 96.30 to 96.12 ;l'nta:,osale:, par value, aggregated $4, U. 8. twos and registered s de- clined 3-8 per eent. and coupon fours 1-2 per cent. on call.

One record hung up by Danforth of | the White Sox perhaps has never been | equalled and it is doubtful if it will | ever be touched. Danforth led the league in the num- ber of games worked in. He got into Ino less than 50 box scores during the vear, a remarkable record for a pitch- er, but the records show that he pitch- ed only one complete game. He is credited with eleven victories which show he was successful as a relief pitcher, Ed Klepfer of Cleveiand pitched in forty-one games during the 'vear, but did not pitch a complete game. Klep- fer was alsd one of the best relief burlers in the league. Big Slim Love of New York work- ed in only two complete games out of 2 total of thirty-three he took part in. Cunningham of Detroit was in forty- two games and only pitched two com- plete, On the other hand Babe Ruth prov- ed to be the iron man of the league. He pitched in thirty-six complete games and was taken out only three times during the season. His team- mates, Mays and Leonard, also broke into the iron man column, the former pitching twenty-eight and the latter twenty-seven complete games. Other iron men of the league were Clcotte, who finished _thirty games without assistance, Walter _Johnson who finished 28, and Jim Bagby 27. NEARLY 700 TEAMS IN INTERNATIONAL TOURNEY Christy Mathewson Getting His Big League Bowlers in Shape. ‘With 300 onut-of-town teams already entered, and prospects bright for an additional 200 to be in line when the entries close, and not counting the 200 teams that will participate from Cin- cinnati alone, the annual international bowling tournament of the American Bowling Congress, to be held in Cin- cinnati from February 16 to March 10, promises great ‘things for bowlers and for followers of the sport in general. ‘Cincinnati certainly must look attractive to the members of the fraternity, when 700 teams can be counted on to contest under condi- tions that have heretofore mot inter- ferred with the success of any howl- ers’ meeting. When one considers that hundreds of the younger element of the fraternity have answered the call to the colors, the entry list for the Cincinnati tournament is truly re- markable. Manager Christy Mathewson of the Reds has returned from Camp Sheri- dan, at Montgomery, ‘Ala, Where he now is busy getting his major league bowling stars in form for their meet- ings with big leaguers from other ci- ties during the tournament.

It is worth while— has improved with age, like they tell us certain fluids do It was along about 1395 when Har- vey McMurchy of Fulton, N. Y., at that time sales manager for the Hunt- er Arms company; the late Ed Fulford, of the Remington company, and Jack Hull, of Parker Bros. began to argue about the respective shooting qualities of their guns, to the delight of a crowd at_the New York State fair. Fulford claimed for Remington guns (they were making double barrel suns in 1896) that they would kill ducks at a distance of 130 yards. Hull jnsisted that the Parker was good for 25 yards more. That seemed to about settle the argument. Suddenly McMurchy horned in and in his quiet, serene manner told how one day he was out hunting partridges and, upon looking heavenward, saw a small object sailing around 'Way up ir the clouds. Although somewhat doubtful about the chances of making a kill, he nevertheless let drive. The result was most startling. The object seemed to stop for a moment, then it began to fall tiward the earth in a wide, circling fiight, and at last grace- fully landed on a knoll some 200 yards away. All curiosity, McMurchy said he hur- ried to the spot. and his surprise was beyond imagination when he discov- ered that he had injured a baby angel. He carried it to a nearby farmhouse and after a few days’ nursing it re- covered from the gunshot wound and fiew back home. - The Smith gun was unanimously ted some gun. . ;& certainly duction unle offers some assistance southern cotton America for aid and propaganda of a pound to save irom dire need. today declare that cotton is worfa 40 cents a pound and advi to hold it at that price, at the same time suggesting the possibility that he may, be able to get $1 a pound. uratively speaking, the south today is wallowing in wealth at the expense of the north and the rest of the world.

Many of these mills stock dividends from 25 to 75 per cent. and their earnings for 1917 were doubls those of previous years. The govern- ment regulates the price of coal, steel, copper, grain and other absolute: com- modities, but doesm’t touch cotton.' Claude Kitchen, leader of the dem- ocratic majority in the house of rep- resentatives, has said that the gov- ernment must keep its. hands off cot- ton and that the cost of war must be laid north of the Mason and Dixon line.
