New York, Jan. 6 — Spain is the drst nation to file a 1921 challenge for.| the Davis cup, emblematic of the world's team tennis champienship. Notification to this effect was re- ceived by the United States' Lawn Tennis Association here tonight in the form of a cable anneuncing that a for- mal challenge had been mailed by the Spanish L. T. A. At the headquarters of the American association it was eaid that challeng- es were expected during the next six weeks from Great Britain, Japan, Aus- tralia Canada, Belgium and South Af- rica. 5 Based upon this expectation, the national association already is plan- ning for- the most active tennis cam- paign in its history. The schedule committee is working K upen a tenta- tive schedule for adoption at the an- nual meeting in this city on February 5, which will include a wide distribu- tion of the various national champien- ghips and preliminary Davis cup ties and culminate with the challenge round at Forest Hills, N. Y., early in September. AMERICAN LEAGUE WILL y SUPPORT MINOR LEAGUES Detroit, Mich,, Jan. 6—The American league will support minor league rep- resentatives in their contention that the proposed baseball agreement is not fair to the minors, George M. Maines, president of the Michigan-Ontario league, declared here tonight before he left for Chicago to attend the baseball meeting there next week. He said that M. H. Sexton, president of the Nation- al association and John H. Farrell, secretary, as well as several major league officials, also would back the minors. PIONEERS TO TAKE PLACE OF ASHLAND QUINTET It seemed as if Jewett City would be without basketball for the remain- der of the season as in Wednesday's Bulletin we find an item stating that the Ashland team had suspended their schedule .and would discontinue play- ing games at Jewett City. So in order not to disappoint the fans the Pioneers, a strictly local team, will resume the basketball activity in the borough, playing every Thursday night at the Bijou. Though the Pioneers are not as fast as the Ashland team, they will endeavor to present the fans the fast- est.amateur teams in this section. An- uther thing, nearly every town on the Tine supports a high school team and 1s the Pioneers are on the equal with most high school teams in this section and as Jewett City has no high school team why not make the Pioneers your high school team and attend the games at the Bijou every Thursday night? Manager Liberty, has gotten togeth- er a bunch ‘honpsters who are about FINANCIAL AND COMBMERCIAL MARKET LIVELY, BROAD. New York,.Jan. 6—Trading on the stock exchange today was lively and broad and price movements were mainly towards substantially higher levels. Sell- £ to insure profits caused occasional reactions. but a strong tone prevailed athong favorite issues at the close. The advance derived much of s im- petus from further accumulation of cop- per, motor, steel, equipment and ship- ping issues. together with many miscel- laneous shares which suffered severely n the December liquidation, but now are .demand because of seemingly improved trade conditions. Other propelling factors were furnish- ed by the day's news which strengthen- ed the growing conviction that further dowmward revision of commodity prices is exerting a more. beneficial effect in many lines of business. Foreign exchange opened strong, but £0on cancelled the greater part of yes- terday’s surpriemg advance, especially British bills. Cables reported. the sus- pension of an international bank in the British metropolis and the failure of a Liverpool ca‘ton firm. For the most part. the recent sharp rise in foreign remittances is believed to procesd mainly from speculative quar- ters, whera the short interest in sterling and franecs is said (0 have been unusual- Iy extensive. Dealings in stocks were most active during the final hour under leadership of Crucible Steel. General Asphalt and the Rubber group. These and kindred ingues showed net gains of 2 to 5 points, Salss amounted to 925,000 shares. Bonds, notably convertible rails were ac’ive and materially higher, as well as some of the foreign issues, particularly the Swiss division. There was a good inquiry for Liberties, most .of which clgsed. at gains. Total sales (par value) ageregated $18.875.000. Old U. S, bonds were unchanged on call.
