WELL DEVELOPED
Outlaw Plans So Far Advanced That
 Circuit Has Been Decided Upon.

While President James O'Rourke of the Eastern association of baseball clubs and Tim Murnane of the New England league are doing the gum shoe act in an endeavor to ascertain just how far the Federal movement has developed in Connecticut and Massachusetts, fans will be interested to know that the movement has gone much farther than either of the two league heads have imagined.
 It may be stated upon good author ity that a. circuit consisting of Bridge port, New Haven, Hartford. Spring field, Worcester and Providence has been planned and other cities along the route ignored. There is no ques ton but what if the outlaws put even fair clubs in the places mentioned those operating under organized ball rulings would collapse forthwith. Old baseball men of experience say that such a thing would be sure to follow at the present time,
 Organized baseball has a big job on it's hands if it intends to retain it's standing and field around here. This job may necessitate something more radical than a mere rearranging of the clubs. If the Feds want to come

 Donovan had come through with a pennant winner for President Lannin last season, and there was hardly any conceivable cause for giving Bill his release.
 Donovan had been a faithful employe of the Providence club since leaving Detroit three years ago. and had been grand success. Wagner had played wonderful ball for the Red Sox for a number of years, and being a brainy ball player and a born leader, it was only natural that President Lannin should want to place Heinie in posi- tion where he could do the most good.
 He kenw Heinie Wagner. knew his ability as a ball player and had ex- plicit confidence in him. President Lannin wanted to make Heinie mana ger at Providence. and now that the loophole has come. the next step will be to put Heinie in charge of the Grays-

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET PRICES DECLINE. Drop in Some speciaiies Was as Much
 as Fifteen Points.

New York, Dec. 2S.-For the first time since the recent renewal of open trading in all stocks there were un- n1istakable signs today of general H- quidation. A number of speculative issues, including United States Steel and Southern Pacific, fell to their min fmum and many others in the same class, including Canadian Pacific. Union Pacific. Great Northern pre- ferred, Northern Pacific, Pennsyl- vania. Baltimore and Ohio and United States Steel preferred came within easy distance of their established low prices.
 As usual, the receding movement began with steel, which held steady until midday. when it broke new low ground. Almost immediately other leaders began to decline, the whole nouncement of the reduced PennsyI- vania company dividend was made. From that period the movement was marked by increasing weakness, with only an occasional ftf11 rally. The selling was too general for analysis. but foreign offerings and bear activity contributed their part, together with unloading by discouraged investors.
 After the close of the market Steel was offered at 4s, with no bid and other speculative issues showed lit- tie disparity between bid and asked

 Routine news, favorable in the main, included more cheerful outlook for the. steel industry easier money ten- der4cfes and steadiness in foreign ex- change. except francs and fires. Re- gardless of the course pursued by the steel and iron stocks yesterdays de- cision of the United States Steel cor poratio11 to maintain the existing wage scale was accepted as a sure sign of betterment in that industry and this was confirmed by the statement that a number of large equipment orders are impending.

california Tennis Player Captures First Place for His Third consee. utive Year.

The ranking committee Of the U. S. N. L. T. A.. has issued the annual list Maurice E. Mclaughlin of Cal ifornia gets the honored place of No. for the third consecutive year. In placing the hero of the Davis cup matches above R. Norris Williams. 2d. the national champion, who beat Mc- Loughlin at Newport. the committee clearly state in the report that the ranking is according to the record.
 Fred c. Inman (chairman). W. L. Patee and w M. Hall, the committee. sum up their finding as follows: The committee deems it unnecessary to comment on the comparison of these two records. The data tells it's own story. It admits of no discussion. It establishes without any doubts what ever the superiority of NJ. McLough- lin's record over that of Mir. Williams and the former has therefore been awarded first place"
 The committee recommends that the national association pass a. rule that in coming years the national champion be arbitrarily rated No. 1. and that the rule be made clear as to whether or not Davis cum matches arc to be taken into account. Altogether 100 men are rated in the singles. The women's list again head ed by Miss, Mary Browne of Califor- mia was prepared by Mrs. B. Wallach, chairman; Mrs. Thomas c. Dundy and Mrs. B. F. Briggs

tests that took place at Shibe Park At no time did the rooters Of the Quaker City feel any apprehension over the ability of the club to land the American league penant, and their enthusiasm was not a variety that led them to pay the price of admission to see the team in action. Philadelphia took 1t as a matter of course and that the Mackmen would finish in front even if they travelled along at only half speed. For the greater part of the season they were head and shoulders above all rivals, and the games they played were looked upon as more or less perfunctory steps that led to a goal which was sure to reach no mat ter what might happen And the own son were something like $17,000 in the hole, with only the worlds series left to make up the deficit.
 Winning baseball, much to the sur prise o2 club owners and fans alike, proved a dismal failure. That is the reason 'tConnie'' Mack has been com missoned to get rid of some Of his cell ebrated stars at such prices as will tend to make up for the financial set back of 1914. Although the Athletics were soundly beaten in the world s series, Mack has some of the highest priced ball players in the game as the record sum paid for Collins indicates. In fact, it is more than likely that the Athletics, man for man, would bring more on the auction block than would the players who compared them so easily in the championship battle. The Mackmen were a team of stars, each famous at his own line and a big d- nancial asset to the club. The Braves are a team of diligent workers, with their Armament Of stars narrowed to two infielders and three pitchers
 The desertion of Plank and Bender to- the Federals represents an absolute financial loss to the Athletics, brt the big sum obtained for Collins makes up for this in a large measure. Persons in close touch with Mack say he has in mind other deals which will add tidy sums to the treasury of the club and at the same time provide a revamped team for the inspection of Philadelphia next year. The sale or Frank Baker who is said to have become dlssatis- fled with his present surroundings, may possibly be the next move of the satutt manager. Baker is reported to have been disgruntled over Macks actIoI in asking waivers on Plank, Bender and CoombS, and thus, combined witt the policy of breaking up the wonder full baseball machine, may sec him con- nected with another club when the 1915 season starts.
 The Athletics of 1915 will be a much changed team from that which has ridden roughshod over all competitors these last few years. Mack and the owners think it will prove a better
 drawing card than the club in it's olC form, because it will have to fight fol l the games 1t wins. It is an interesting test of, the psychology of fandom anC
 the result will be worth watching.
