Yale undoubtedly would have donated her great new bowl for the occaison, which would have meant something like s140,O00 for stricken Belgium. It would have given foot ball the biggest boost in the history of the sport, and put an end to any argument on who is king this fall on the gridiron.

NEW YORK, Dec. Without attempting any explanation of the why or wherefore. a comparison oi the respective batting average of eight baseball players before they jumped organized ball and after they jointed the Federals, is of in- terest. With one exception, the men whose names are given farther down made better records with their bats in the Federal League than they did before becoming outlaws. The one exception is ''Runt" Walsh. but here's the list:
 Yerkes, with organized ball, battel .267; with the Feds his average was 400. Evans batted .249 with the St. Louis Nationals, and 1865 with the Feds. With the Tanks and White Sox, Hal Chase batted .267, and with the Feds, .342. Against National League twirlers, Bates, formerly of Cincinnati, hit for .278; against Fed pitchers, Bates batted .31S. Doc Crandall's record was .306 against National League moundsmen and .310 against Fed eral tossers. Oakes, erstwhile St. Louis National Leaguer, swatted .293 in the old league and .316 among the Feds Walsh's average while with the Tanks and Athletics was .307, but after the. leap to the outlaws he dropped four points.

It seems pity that Harvard turned down the offer of Illinois to play post season game, the receipts to go to the relief of Belgium sui ferers. True, post season football contests drag the season out pretty long, and means a great deal to the men who have played the game throughout the season. In such 8 case. however, Harvard could have heape1 a lot more glory on herself by agreeing to the plan

Recently the fact that London had Alb
stained from active participation In the
rise here was taken as a good rather
than bad symptom. in that II held "A sug-
eestion OF buying power not yet tapped.
Yesterday. in conjunction with the open
ing of the new account, London was re-
ported "a purchaser of from $4,000 to co.
900 shares OF stock I'm this market.
Whether or not these figures are TO be
taken as an accurate estimate OF tho for
eign buying. il was probably true at least
that the attitude of London spectators
toward this market had taken a definite
turn. The question OF whether Lon
don's speculative sense is habitually good
or bad may be allowed to rest for the
present. The significance OF this develop
ment may be overdone. II may also,
however. be overlooked. Many times dur
ing the past six months It has been
pointed out that European markets were
unusually bare OF American securities as
n result OF previous liquidation. The in
ference drawn was that when the turn
for the better came Europe would buy
back quantities OF our stocks. II the for
eign supply is abnormally low and the
impending Notation OF big foreign loans
does not absorb all the spare capital It
Is fairly safe to say that sooner or later
foreign buying ought to be a factor maxi
ing for higher prices here.

professional bond man complains
that the market for some Of the higl,
grade bonds on the exchange has been
somewhat disloCated by injudcious exc
cution OF orders by brokers acting for
institutions and the like. This buying, Ii
IS said. has been done In foolish haste.
In numerous cases prices have been bid

the probabilities are the same bonds
could have been had on better terms. Tho
wisdom OF these purchases is not Ques-
TONED; II Is the manner in which they
have been made. In the opinion of the
professional this sort Of buying is not
alwayS conducted In tho most workman
usA fashion. An institution decides that
II can do with block OF n certain bond.
The order Ia given to buy without any
attempt to discover exact market con-
ditlons. Not only Institutional but public
buying OF either stocks or bonds fire.
ouently bears tho same characteristic.
Tho question of time seems to be n more
important consideration than that OF
price. The public decides IL wants to
buy stocks and does 80 without making
Inquiries whether that hour or day offers
tho best market to buy In or not. This
may account for the fact that buying OF
this sort usually comes In waves or
course. from the purely investment point
OF view the question of point or 80 In
the price Is and should be a secondary
consideration to that OF safety of in
come yield. If general move OF the

Ing demand witnessed even on the top of

sCHEFTEL's PLAN VOTED DOWN
Chamber of Commerce Won't Form
stSckh0ldera' AssOclntiOn.

The executive committee of the Cham
bcr of Commerce at Its regular meeting
Yesterday voted against the plan proposed
by Herbert ~ Scheftel Of J. s. Bache 4
c., for the organization OF the stock
holders Of the country into an association
Tor their protection against continual
harassing by politicians, Encouragement
and the extravaganza OF officials OF COM
ranes.
Mr.. Scheftel said some time ago that he
would form an Investors army" himself
~ the Chamber Of Commerce did not ap-
prove Of his plan.
The reason why tho Chamber Of Com
nerce committee voted against the pro-
rosed plan was that 1t was deemed in
advisable for the chamber to be the
founder OF such an association. as 1t might
be interpreted as a political movement"
Mr.. Scheftel has pointed out that the
stockholders In this country are millions
snd that they have no organized method
Of protecting themselves. Such an or
ranization. he argued, would force legis-
'ators IN the future to work on a con.
s,rurtivo rather than destructive basis.
Al the time the proposal was made at
THE meeting Of the chamber II received
considerable appreciation and was looked
upon in financial circles as step In tho
tsAt direction.
In an interview a few days after he
offered his resolution at tho Chamber Of
Commerce Mr.. Scheftel said that COM
mandatory letters and kilograms poured In
from investors. institutions and estates
al over the country. Before Offering his
plan Mr. Scheftcl put It to successful
application in tho case of large indus

A Tip" OH a big move In Reading is
not the kind that IL allowed to fall to
the ground. On the contrary, such
things circulate industriously among a GER
tain class OF inveterate spectators
Everybody who IL vitality interested in
fluctuations In the stock has some opin-
lon about the true inwardness OF the
latest developments in the market for
Reading. and presumably considerable
proportion have taken one side or other
in the stock market, according to
different Interpretations OF their probable
results. 1t is, however. entirely possible
that these pyrotechnlcs may mean nothing
at all so far as the immediate course of
the stock II concerned. Some OBJ
servers profess to have mental picture
Of q large company Of disguised bulls on
Reading, with the stock or about
points. and at least that Is a situation
which might easily develop. One reason
why Reading IL not a more popular
medium of speculation is common be-
lief that the INSIDERS can tell at any
time whether or not outside buyers or
sellers predominant. while the outsider
never can tell whether he IL on the side
OF the inside crowd or not.

A Welcome Development.

A more or less sharp reaction at the
present time would not be an unwel-
come development In Wall Street proper.
Some houses assert that II would probably
double their business. The average COM
mission house has n lot of prospective
customers hanging around waiting for just
such relapse Many of these customers
are people who took profits too early and
are now waiting for an opportunity to get
In again, others are operators who missed
the first upswing and who believe that
even II prices do go UP little further
they will sooner or later come back to or
90 below the present level If this be a
general experience II Is perhaps an In
teresting commentary on technical con-
ditions. But orders Of this kind placed
just underneath the market are not always
executed Frequently they are moved to
q hover level when prices actually turn
down, sometimes. too, when the market
postpones its reaction they are moved up
to the current level.

halt of this kind Is taken as representing
a period when the previous advances are
