FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
INCREASED ACTIVITY.
Broader Market Yesterday With Pro-
 nounced Strength.

New York, Jan 2-The opening of the new year on the stock exchange broader market and pronounced strength. While the days total trans actions were not large, they represent ed an increase, ana in the first hour entire days recently. There was the same scarcity of stocks which has been characteristic Of the market for sew eral days and in nearly all instances buyers were compelled to raise their bids. Not only the standard railway and industrial issues. but many of the less prominent shares rose, gains rang ing from one to six points Southern Pacific was the exception among the leading issues. This stock was under pressure steadily and fell back a point Western Maryland also was weak, losing 2 1-2.
 London bought stocks moderately in this market, and there was some buy ing on direct orders from the conti- nent
 Expectations of early peace agree ment, which streng gthened the foreign markets, were a factor in the advance here The easier tendency of call money also played a part in shaping speculative sentiment. Foreign ex- change rates Stfffened sharply demand rising more than 50 points. Predictions of an advancing market for foreign exchange were based upon expectations that monetary conditions would be- come more favorable with the pa ssing of the year end period. It was pointed out that, although call money might relax further, there was less likelihood of easier rates for time money, owing to the enormous demands for new capital abroad and for readjustment of railway and corDorate accounts in this country Should monetary con nditfons warrant such action, financing for cor porations, some of which will soon be- come imperative by reason of the ma tTTT TiT7cr 0f o71 .nf doubtless be undertaken on a large scale.

TIGERS LUCKY IF THEY
 LAND IN FOURTH PLACE.
Hughey Jennings' Dope-Picks Bos-
 ton or Athletics to Win Pennant-

Hughey Jennings predicts that the American League race next season will be between the Boston Red Sox and the Athletics. Their victory of last season, should, according to Hughey. give the Speed Boys more confidence, which is a good thing to have behind their unquestioned abil ity.
 There are a number of clubs which will, he says, show more strength next season than they did in 1912; so Clark Griffith will have a lot of work cut out for himself in order to make anywhere near so good a showing as he did in his first year with Wash ington.
 While Jennings admits that Griffith has great team. he cannot see where 1t has any chance of winning the pen nant. He does not expect to see Frank Chance do much with the Htghlanders next season, but just watch that club in 1914" says he.
 As to the prospects of the Tigers, Hughey would consider himself in good luck if he could land them in fourth place.

BRIckLEY A PROT
Charges Against Harvarci's Past
 Grand Perfectissimo Kicker.

The Amateur Athletic union officials do not seem disposed to treat very seriously the charge that Charley Brtckley. the bright young man who with the assistance of the Harvard university, won occasional football games last fall. has professionalized himself Brickley win be permitted to compete in the games of the Twen- ty-second New York regiment on Sat- urday evening. In addition to his foot ball accomplishments, young MT, Brick1ey is somewhat gifted as a shot butter.
 Brickley is charged with profession- alism for nothing more than writing his opinions on athletics for the news papers and receiving money as an en- p1oye of a tailoring firm. His case by no means parallels that of CIffs. Harvard's tackle of a few years ago who had been a, paid athletic instr11c-

 At Narragansett park in Providence on August l. 1884. the little black gel ding ay-Eye-See started the list when he trotted in 2.10 and on the follow ing day Maud s, joined the list when she trotted in 2.09 3-4 at Cleveland Less than half dozen became mem bers during nine years, but when the bike .sullSy made it's appearance in 1892 new 2-10 trotters came with a rush. Every racing season since has seen an increased number over the year before There are now 562 trotting horses in the 2.10 list. and with a tolerabIe fn- crease each year, in the next seven years there will be 1000 names in this select circle, which will be as many as there were in the 2.30 list at the time Jay-Eye-See began the 2.10 list
 Of this years list twenty are stall lions and the remaining thirty-four are evenly divided between mares and geld1ngs- There were seven newcom-s CTS that are three-year-olds, but only three that are four-year- -olds The Wilkes tribe leads with thirty of the hfty-four.

The actual size Of the l 1913 crops of players dissatisfied with ! the terms of their contracts cannot be 1 estimated but early tndicatfo are ! that it will be heavy one.

Occasionally there is an instance of a player holding out for. higher salary before he gets his new contract A sample is Jimmy Archer of the Cubs who has announced he will not sign for 1913 unless he gets his price. Re ports have said he has fixed that prtce at the figure set by Rube MarQuard of the Giants-to wit: 0,0o0.s if so.

 Bresna.han is the reverse of hold out He is trying to hold on to his Job as manager of the Cardinals-or rather to his contract with that club for the next four years. Until some settlement of that tangle is effected Bresnahan Is not likely to make known his plans for next season, but when they are announced 1t will be good bet he will be with Reds.

 The American league has an Illus trious galaxy of holdouts at present. Among them are Joe Jackson of the Maps and Ty Cobb and Sam Crawford of the Tigers. The Cleveland out fielder probably thinks his batting av craze makes him a star player and that he ought to be paid accordingly, whereas Jackson has considerable to learn, particularly about base running
 Cobb is alleged to be demanding SIS. 900 per annum for the next tres ami. and if so he is the only one around the circuit who expects he will get 1t. Cobb is worth as much as any ball player in the country, but that is a long way short of S15,000 a year. Sam Crawford wants more money for playing first base. and he ought to get 1t, because he gets ten times as many chances on first as in right field.

Trial Contracts Cause Trouble.

One prolific source of holdouts this winter, which has not been in exist ence previously. is the probationary contract to which all recruits from minor leagues have to be signed un- der the new national agreement The White Sox have holdout of that brand in Joe Berger. the shortstop obtained from the Pacific Coast league. At the request of minor leagues the majors have agreed not to give their recruits major league salaries until they have made good, so that those who were turned back in the spring will not revert to the minors with big league salary ideas in their domes.
 It was arranged that recruits should be signed to contracts calling for only 25 per cent. more salary than they were getting when taken from the minor league. The contract is to be in force for the probationary period of forty five days, and if at the conciu- sion of six weeks of the playing sea- son the player fe retained in the ma 1ors he fs to be given new contract
