The stiffer money tendencies oc- casjoned little surprise, despite last day's favorable bank statement. generally anticipated that lo- ¢l nd interior bnks would find it nec- iry to strengthen their reserves to January interest in dividend ments. In conservative financial circles it was freely predicted that the early weeks of the new year would witness further advances in inter~st and dis- count rates, with attendant stiffen- ing of quotations for cowmitrcial pa- 9 per. Other dewelopments which gave momentum to the day’s extreme de- clines of 2 to 6 points included the publication of numerous unfavorable statements of railroad earnings for November and further unstable con- ditions in foreign exchange. Incidentally the Bank of England weekly statement revealed a heavy decrease in lability reserves and the American dollar went to a higher pre- mium in Paris, Traders sought to extract a degree of comfort from the forthcoming re- turn of the rallroads to private op- eration and a broadening demand for railroad equipment and copper, but those factors exerted little more than temporary influence. Metal shares were relatively strong with a few specialties, notably Amer- jcan Woolen, the entire-list rallying irregularly In the fina] dealings, when sborts covered hurriedly in the U. S. Bteel and a few other leaders. Sales pmounted to 1,225,000 shares. Bonds were hesitant on the changes shown by speculative rails, Liberty and international issues also inclin- ing slightly downward Total sales par value, were $33,250,000. Old U.

The New York gang of prize fight promoters who. conspired to stage the so-called championship fight between Benny Leonard and Johnny Dundee in this city, January 16, for the lght- weight title and reap a harvest of at least $100,000 have overshot them- selves and by their duplicity brought about a distinctly unbearable situation. From reports coming into this office it is safe to say that about everyone in the city, not connected with the en- terprise in any way, is irrevoeably op- posed to the guestinable scheme of a twenty-round battle between the above men principally because it is not om the level and is against the law. THe reasons are many, as heretofore stated in these columns, but owing to the asperations being east upon an honest effort to elevate the sporting ga.ng:,e insiteadhol 1muhlng it deeper in- to mire, the law on prize fights is published below: : o General Statutes of Cennecticut.

BAN JOHNSON BELIEVES PEACE IS AT HAND It is expected that President Ban Johnson will call a meeting of the American League in Chicago early in. January. Some of the club own- ers who support Johnson believe that by that time an effort along satisfactory lines to bring about peace among the warring magnates might be received with some con- sideration by the Ruppert-Comis- key-Frazee insurgents. If the January meeting is being held, however, with the idea that there will be a compromise with Johnson still in power, Big Ban has been badly advised about affairs. Col. T. L. Hus- ton and Harry H. Frazee both stat- ed Saturday that there would be no chance whatever of any kind of com- promise as long as Johnson remained president. It i¢ not likely even that the New York, Chicago or Boston clubs will be represented at the January meet- ing, which Johnson plans to call soon after the meeting of the Na- tional commission on Monday, Jan- uary 5. What the insurgents failed to accomplish among the club owners they will endeavor to accomplish in the courts, and they say that there will be no let up of any kind until the courts settle the matters now in controversy. A meeting of the American League Is. necessary soon, because much of the routine business of the organi- zation was laid aside at the annual meeting on account ef the internal discord. The league has a schedule committee, rules committee and several other important committees to appeint to get busy with the Na- tional League committee. Both leagues should be at work now on next season’s schedule, which will have to be in shape before the schedule meetings early in February. League ranks has brought forth The dissension in the American much comment from some of the club owners who are supporting Johnson in the lesgwa fight. Man- ager Clark Griffith ot Washington -stated recently that he was unable to talk business with the New York, Chicago and Boston clubs. In fact, Griffith pointed olit that none of the five clubs supporting Johnson had a chance to get any ball players from the three insurgent clubz. That this state of zffairs has just heen real- ized by Griffith is rather surprising. Having lined up with Johnson in the fight against the New York, Chi- cago and Boston clubs, It should hardly be expected by Griffith or the czar that the insurgent clubs are going to help them strengthen their teams. e PLAYERS ARE SIGNING WITH NEW HAVEN FOR 1920 George M. Weiss, big boss of the New Haven baseball club, had more than Christmas to celebrate last week, for he was unexpectedly surprised by receiving signed contracts from three of his veteran baseball players who unlike the general run of pastimers are satisfied with the size of their pay check and are anxious to again’ repre- sent the fair City of Elms in'the 1920 Eastern League pennant chase. These boys are Red Torphy, veteran infielder; Earl Stimpson, outfielder, and Jack Watson, pitcher. All three report that they are leading the sim- ple life and will report in perfect shape when the spring training sea- son comes around. Torphy is playing on the Fall River team in the Bay State roller polo league and therefore will have little -trouble in keeping down to weight and remaining in tip- top shape. Stimpson is back heme in Detroit and Watson is working in a Brooklyn shipyard. Weiss banks on Watson being the mainstay of his twirling corps next summer. Watson has more natural baseball ability than half the men who are holding down the good- jobs in the major league circuits and if he stays in condition ought to win many 2 game for the Savin Rockers. The recent hunting trip Owner ‘Weiss made with a party of Cleveland players as might be expected, result- ed in a couple of baseball deals.. Tris Speaker, manager of the Indians, has recommended a Pennsylvania: infielder named Charles Marsh and he will be given an opportunity to display his wares at New Haven. He had consider- able experience, in the Southern asso- ciation, but did not play league ball last summer because of still being in the service. With Davidson sporting a Washington outfit and ~the club must find another infielder and Marsh is likely to be the first of a number of candidates that will be given a chance to make Joe Wood, who is visiting Weiss over the week end, has had a lot of nice things to say about'a chap from Jort Jersey named Leon.Caster. This man is a first sacker and will also be giyen a thorough tryout. ‘Weiss has already mailed contracts to all his veterans. but they have un- til late in March to send in their re- plies.
