Ebbets Still Hopes
ToLand Joe Tinker

KANSAS CITY, Jan. 16.-Chas.
Ebbets, president of the Brooklyn
National League team, oday is due
in Chicago, where he hopes to confer
with Joe Tinker and induce him to
accept his offer to Join the Dodgers.
The boss OF the Brooklyn club, before
leaving here, expressed a belief that
he can sway Joe and bring him back
into organized baseball. While here
Ebbets signed four players, a fifth
holding out.
After the Brooklyn man departed,
Chas. Stengel said he would sign to-
Gay. Wheat's contract is for three
years and those of Riggert, Aitchison
and Raglan are for one year each

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 16.-Without the
financial backing of Charles Weegh-
man. W. M. Walker and their asso-
ciates in Chicago, the st. Louis (Fed-
eral League) team probably would
still be without a ball yard. The OPP
ton on Hanlan's Park was about to
expire and the local hackers were ct
loggerheads when Weeghman and his
associates appeared on the scene and
closed the deal for what is considered
the best location in st. Louis.
With Chicago's aid, the local Fed
erals are now on their feet, and Man
ager Mordecal Brown stated to-day
that he has started to sign players
from the National and American
Leagues. He is reported to have
signed Bobby Byrne. Philadelphia, and
Lefty High, Detroit.
He is dickering with Lefty Leileld

Collins and Baker

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 16.--Eddie
Collins and Frank Baker, the prize
Of the Mack family of world cham
pions, have been bounced bodily from
the Baseball Players Fraternity by
President Dave Fultz.
A trifiing matter Of refusing to pay
their dues in the organization brought
about the expulsion of the two famous
infielders of the Athletics. Neither,
however, is worrying about the fra
ternity. Baker said: II never did care
a rap for the order" While Collins
takes more interest in the political
side than the home-run king, Eddie
said o-day that he guessed he could
get along without worrying himself
into a nervous wreck.

any other club and the Browns Gas

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
ROCK ISLAND FORGED DOWN.
Common and Preferred Stocks at Low
 est Prices in History.

New York. Feb. 2.-Extension of the upward movement in stocks was pre- vented today by a combination of bearish influences. The most disturb ing factor was renewed selling of Rock
 Island securities, which became acute
 ly weak. Last weeks report that the company would be reorganiZed was followed today by intimations that
 dividends might be suspended on the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific stock, which is security for the Rock Island
 collateral fourS. Denial of this report
 lessened the volume of selling, which
 for 8 time was of unusually large pro-
 portions; but the stocks reached the
 lowest prices in the history of the
 company. The common dropped 3-4
 to 38, the preferred 5-8 to fl 1-2,
 the collateral fours 2 7-8 to 45 1-2 and
 the refunding As 1-2 to 75 -94. Par
 tiaI recovery was effected later.
 The effect on the general market
 of the drop in these securities was
 heightened by extensive selling here for European account. London un-
 loaded perhaps 35,o00 shares, princi-
 pally Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific,
 Steel and Amalganated. Another un-
 settling feature was pressure against
 various investment stocks, among
 which American Telephone, Canadian
 Pacific and New York Central were conspicuous. Western Union sold off
 in sympathy with American Telephone, these shares being influenced by the postmaster generals recommendations in favor of government acquisition of the wire system,
 December reports of the larger east ern railroads were distinctly unfavor- able. New York Central showed a decrease in lot of $S,057, GOO. which was largely responsible for the heaviness of the stock. Pennsyivania's operat- ing income fei1 off s7e3,0O0. New Ha- ven reported 8 deficit for the month of $114,00O.
 With nothing in the way of bullish news to counteract the effect of these influences, traders on the long side | were unable to bring about 9 resump- l tion of the upturn of late last week. l The movement in general was not large. but the undertone was heavy
 and before the end of the day some of the popular stocks were depressed a point or more.
 l Bonds were irregular. The market was little disturbed by liquidation of l the Rock Island bonds. Total sales, par value. $3,90O, 600. Panama 3's reg l istered advanced If and the coupon 3s a point on call.
