The fans enjoyed a fine September day at North Grosvenordale Sunday and somé excellent baseballe when the fast Ash- land team clashed with the Putnams. Both teams were represented with a goodly number of big leaguers, and thoge who follower tne _game Were treated to a fine exhibition of the Na- tional sport. The zame which was the deciding game of the series was hotly contested and ran into cleven in- nings. Ashland held the lead with a 2 to 0 score up to the first of the eighth inning when Putpam scored one run the last of the cighth and tied the score in the last of the ninth. In the last of the eleventh with two out and two on bases, Putnam brought home the deciding run, giving them a 3-2 vietory over Ashland. —_— MISS BJURSTEDT WINS AT LONGWOOD Miss Molla Bjurstedt, national wo- man's tennis champion, won the final match of the fall tournament for wo- men at the Longwood Cricket club, de- feating Mrs. George . Wightman, former national title holder, §-1, 10-8. Mise Bjuretedt and Miss i Zinderstein defeated Mrs. Wi and Mis¢ Eleanor Sears, 4-6, 6-0, 6-1, in the finals of the women's doubles. A third victory for Miss Bjurstedt came in the finals of the mixed dou- bles, when paired with N. W. Niles, she ‘assisted in defeating Mrs Wight- mait and H. C. Johnson, 6-3, 9-7. The Columbus Meeting. Two postponments on account of rain and a heavy track slowed up the speed averages of the Columbus Sep- tember Grand Circuit meeting which closed Friday after none days of rac- ing during which thirty-five events were decided, cighteen of them. being for trotters nd seventeen for pacers, d $74.370.23 distributed in_premfums. | of the programme was disposed of except the free for all trot in which the horses were excused on account of heavy footing and the second free for all pace, the first one being a gift for Miss Harris M. She was ready for the fray notwithstan’ing the fact that ber engagements wore cancelled at Readville and Hartford by rain and showed it at Syracuse on the last day of the meeting when she stepped a mile over a heavy track in two min- ites, the fractional time for the trip being 31 1-2, 30 3-4, 28 2-4, 20. During the ‘= weeks 2t Columbus Murphy ran his number of winning mounts for the vear up to fifty-nine and if he is as fortunate at Lexington and Atlanta his score for the year should be close to eseventy. He won two races at the Buckeye capital with Petrex and gave Binland his first de- feat over a mile track with Royal Mac and by the way it was also the first pair of winning brackets placed to the credit of the Royal McKinncy gelding this season. Billy Jackson, after break- ing the ice at Syracuse, also came through at Columbue pacing his three heats in 2.04 1-4 when he defeated Drift Patchen and John A. Hal. On the next time out, however, he 'finished third to Verlie Patchen in 2.03. Ethel Chimes' being between him and. fhe black mare with which Palin won the races at Columbus. Ante Guy made two starts at Colum- bus. On_the first start she trotted sec- ond to Frince Loree in thé “Columbus $10,000." She had her revenge, how- ever, when ‘they met again in - the Buckeye Purse for $5,000 by defeating him and Heir Reaper in 2.0¢ 1-4. Da- vid Guy, the other Ottinger trotter, al- 0 made the same kind of a score by defeating Nella Dillon in the Horse Review Purse in 2.053-4 and finished second to Peter June after winning.a heat in the Western Horseman Futur- ity. This was also the first victory for Peter June his season while Geers al- £0 had another piece of good fortune with June Red, the Red Medium mare winning her first start since Pough- kespsie over The Toddler and Wilkes Brewer in the Capital City Purse. Two of the best contests at the meeting were between Directum J., and Little Batice in the 2.06 pace and the 2.04 pace in which M¢Mahon defeated Judge Ormond and Adioo Guy with Hal Boy, {he Oregon gelding win- ning his two heats in 2.0 1-4 and 2.03 1-2 and Judge Ormonde grabbing one in 2.03 1-2. SUGGES SUNDAY GAMES AT HARVARD Tt has been propased in Cambridge that the ‘Harvard Students’ Training Corps might arrange a compromise on the foothalle situation by siaging games with service teams and others on Sundays. It is improbable that the members of the corps will have sufficient time to play football any- way, but some gridiron enthusiasts believe that a series of Sunday con- tests’furnish a solution. It js urged that'the army and navy squads at West Point and Annapolis are not going to give up football be- cause of military training and that fthere should be time for the members of the S. A. T. C. at the colleges. The members ‘of the students' army will not be required to drill on Sundays and it is felt that the men chould be allowed to play then. As the naval stations were allowed to stake baseball contests on Sun- doys ‘ast summer, the fcotball play- ers believe that they will not have much _trouble getting permission for footba)l games. They are willing to play for any of the war, charities to help beat the Hun. The authorities of the college haye not taken any artion vet. The game wiil not be allowed fo interfere in any way with military training. It has been planned to permit competi- tion against teams representing the stations in the immediate vicinity of Boston. where such can be ar- ranged with due regard-to the mili- tary programme. BOWLING AT THE TAFTVILLE ALLEYS The Ponemah Wheel club defeated the Red Sox at the Taftville alleys on Monday night at a close margin of fourteen points. The Ponemah eel club piling up 1486 to the Red Sox 1.- 468 Mills was the high man of the FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIA MARKET STRONG, ACTIVE. New York, Sept. 30.—Under the im- Petus of the portentous news from abroad, today's stock market devel- oped unusual activity and strength, beit much of the large turnover cen- tered in so-called peace issues, a few of which registered sensational gains. Oil shdres were conspicuous frod the outset, Mexican Petroleum making an extreme advance of ten points, while Texas Company reatured the final hour at a gross advance of 14 points. Moderate strength was manifested by U. S. Steel and kindred industrials and equipments in the early dealings, tut profit-taking and #ort seliing soon effected reactions of ove to four points. U. S, Steel's gain of a point in the first half shour was succesded by in- sistent pressure at an extreme rever- sal of two points, but the stock again was in demand later, closing un- changed at 112 1-2. Investment rails were backward during the greater part of the ses- sion, but rose briskly ' toward the close, Canadian Pacific leading at an advance of 7 1-4 points, most of which was retained. Motor shares became prominent at midday, gathering greater strength ha- ter on another drive against - the shorts in General Motors, which held wuch of its 7_per cent. rise, while Studebaker, Maxwell and Chandler improved from 2 to 4 points. Utilities, notably gas shares, leath- ers, tobaccos and fertilizers, com- prised the other strong stocks, exten- sive short covering setting in at the close. Sales were 000 shares. Bonds were variable, Liberty issues displaying mederate irregularity. To- tal eales, par value, aggregated $,- 650,000, Old U. S. bonds were unchanged on call. STOCKS.
