The war dealt the minor leagues a terrinfic body blow, but their organ- ization has remained intact. Though changes in the ownership of fran- chises here and there, and possibly a few chanfes in territory boundar- ies, which .will make for more com- petition it was necessary the minors see no great obstacle in the way of making a new start during this com- ing year. The feature of the pro- gramme was the reading of the an- nual report by Secretary H. Farrell. The report shows the effect of war on the minors, who boasted some thirty leagues two years ago. Inter- esting details of the report follows: Thirteen leagues, embracing 92 cities and towns in the U. S. and Can- ada qualified for membersih in 1918. Ten leagues comprising 66 cities and towns and employing 1445 play- ers started the 1918 playing season. Nine of the ten leagues played 91 Main Street | schedule. { call. more than one-half of their respect- ive schedules. The new International league was the only minor league to play out its Only eleven players were drafted by the major leagues, eight\ by the National and three by the American league. The . amount due the minors drafted players is $23.450. The Natienal association clubs paid out $45,826 between themselves for the purchase of players. Seventy-nine players were pur- chased from major league clubs, the minors $35,000. as against $110,- 050 in 1917.

So tickled were the members who sat about the table that at its close they literally piled the table with green- was found that Hoppe's cue had add ed '$2500 to the fund for T™e boys over there. 3 The performance of the world's champion was the most re- markable .offering of the billiard vaudeville, which included such stars as Alfred De Oro Joe Concannon, | Ralph Greenleaf, Frank Taberski, and the Misses Flower. +« . ¢ Hoppe went to the table against T. Henry Clarkson, the Class A amateur of the Boston ‘Athletic Association. Clarkson ‘won' the bank and “started with 5. The champion came - back with :2." Then Clarkson missed. " He left the balls near the end of the rail, which permitted Hoppe to collect 50 points of his remarkable ° cluser without ever vemturing out on the table. At all times the position play of Hoppe was .amazing.He deftly over- came bad line-ups on the . cushions, used the masses for improving -posi- tion, and altogether displayed re- markable judgment as to speed. He ‘was never at a loss for the proper shot. The t‘alacrity with = which he plied his cue caused the crowd of- ten to laugh as he worked out the masterful collection of caroms. Near the end of the first hundred points he essayed a delicate piece ‘of line nursing that for lightness of touch surpassed anything that he did during the impressive run. May Form Two Leagues. Chicago, Nov. 13.—According to a special despatch from Peoria to the Daily News, members attending the baseball convention in = Peoria , are discussing the formation of two leag- ues, to include cities in the Interna- tional and American Associations, with some new Cclubs added. Onme proposed league would include Louisville, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Peoria, XKansas City Des Moines and St. Joseph. The other would take in Baltimore, To- ronto, Milwaukee, Buffalo, Newark, Indianapolis, Columbus and Toledo. SPORTING NOTES. Judged by their respective victories |, cn Saturday,, the game between Sy- racuse and Rutgers which 1s to be played at Syracuse on Nov. 23, less tihan two weeks from now, will ‘stand on equzl footing with ths Pitt-Geor- gia Tech conflict. Rutgers was scored on for the first' time this season by Pcnn. State, which made a fiela goal sgainst Sanford’s powerful eleven. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIA STOCK PRICES DECLINED. New York, Nov. 13.—Peace and its attendant . problems and uncertainties loomed larger on the financial horizon today, the stock market undergoing another period of liquidation which cncompassed pearly all parts of the active list. The decline was accelerated by fur- ther restriction of credits and the at- titude of conservative banking inter- ests who encouraged general curtail- ment of speculative accounts despite the more hopeful views of leaders in the steel industry. Speculative favorites were at lowest prices in the later dealings, but rallied from fractions to 1 1-2 points on the support then accorded rails and ship- pings and the further strength of Mexican Petroleum. A few of the more popular indus- trials approximated minimum quota- tions of the year during the several reversals, but these also rallied on the relaxation of pressure at the end. U. S. Steel was again the pivotal feature, its extreme decline of 1 1-2 points to 87 7-8 being quickiy followed, however, by a rally in which two- thirds of the loss was recovered. Rails yielded 1 to 4 1-2 points at their worst, .Canadian Pacific display- ing actual weakness for a time, but in this division losses were half way re- paired, Southern Pacfic and Reading regeiving support at recessions. Coppers were heavy, oils and motors irregular and specialties, fertilizers excepted, mainly lower. Baldwin Lo- comotive was again the only equip- ment to manifest consistent strength. Sales were 760,000 shares. Bonds followed the trend of the stock market, Liberty issues holding steady, .while railway and industrial issues lost fractions to a point. Sales, par value, aggregated $10,250,000. Old U. S. bonds were unchanged on STOCKS. Stleg.

PLANS FOR RECONSTRUCTION OF MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL Peoria, Ill, Nov. 13.—Plans for the reconstruction of the minor league baseball map were launched at the an- nual meeting of the national associa- tion of professional baseball leagues here today when committees were ap- pointed to consider the advisability of reclassifying all organizations and re- districting the territory. The movement was started by A. R. Tearney of Chicago, president of the Three Eye league, who in an address to the club owners and league presi- dents declared the game was in need o fimmediate attention if it is to re- sume operations on a self supporting basis next season. President Tearney said the salary limits of some organ- izations were “entirely without reason” and the geographical makeups of the leagues were too unwieldy to insure successful operation. The committees considering the pro- posals are in session tonight and will report back to the meeting tomorrow. FOUR BASEBALL PLAYERS TAKE NAVAL EXAMINATIONS | Great Lakes,” Ill, Nov. 13.—Four American league baseball players took examinations for the officers’ school at Great Lakes naval training station to- day. They are Ben Dyer of the De- troit club, Joe Leonard of Washing- ton, Fred Thomas of Boston and Phil Chouinard, formerly of Chicago. RAPID FIRE AND THE MODEL 1917 RIFLE By KENDRICK SCHOLFIELD 5 | Associate Editor, Arms and the Man Thousands of rifiemen ,both sol- diers and civilians, left Camp Perry ! at the close of the 1918 National| Matches, thoroughly convinced that for rapid-fire at short ranges the Meodel 1917 rifie could not be equaled. ‘When most of the civilian teams ar- rived at Camp Perry the new rifles were objects of considerable curios- ity. Although practically every man was familiar with the workings of the Krag and the Springfield, the mec banism and the sighting equipment | of the Model 1917 were deep myster- ies. And it must be admitted that at| first the civilian shots did not take kindly to the new weapon, even after 10 days of range work with it. ‘When the National Rifle Associa- tion Matches began, the civilian rifiemen still mistrusted the new weapon, but only two events were needed to give every man a compre- hensive idea of just wherein the Mod- el 1917 is going to make history be- fore the war has ended. Those two events were the Rapid Fire Match at 200 yards and the Rap- | id Fire Match at 300 yards. When the scores in these competitions were pub- lished it was found that 25 com- petitors had made perfect scores and that 46 had tied in second place on totals of 49 in the 200-yard match and that in the 300-yard match 51 entrants made 48 points or better. These results cannot be equaled by any past performances in rapid-fire matches, especially under the rather unfavorable shooting conditions which prevailed. The chances are good that al- though open fighting may come along the western front before many months pass, the fighting will hardly be at distances uniformally greater than 300 yards.Therefore there could be no better weapon than the Model 1917 for the rank and file of the army. In many instances during the matches it was demostrated repeat- edly that while the Model 1917 is es- sentially a rifle for use at relatively short ranges, it is capable of putting on a good score at 1000 yards in the hands of men who understand the art of holding off for windage.

Baseball will be back sfronger than ever. Our cnly fear is that it will return still unpurged of the many evils which have % |been emphasized so strongly. It must come back with interleague animosi- ties buried, a reconstructed natoinal commission, an understanding as to salaries and a_revised impression of tae kind of publicity that is good for the game. ) & CHICAGD GRAIN MALKET. & COBN— Open.
