MAcNATEs ON THE VERGE
 OF CLOSING YANKEE DEAL
Officials of American League Held a
 Mysterious Meetina.

Chicago, Dec. 21.-Ofncials of the American league. believed to be on the verge of closing deal involving the sale of the New York club, made a mystery of meeting today, deferred a statement several times and finally adjourned until tomorrow without making known the subject of their discussion.
 The meeting was called by B. B. Johnson, president of the league, and it was reported that the representa- tive of each of the clubs was invited to give one player to the New York club, in order to interest further Col onel Jacob Ruppert and T. l.. Huston of New York, prospective purchasers Ruppert and Huston left Indianapolis last night and are expected to attend tomorrow's meeting here.
 In addition to Johnson, Joseph J. Lanrin, Boston; Frank Navin. Detroit; E. $. Bernard, Cleveland; Robert Hedges, St. Louis; Charles Coniskey Chicago, and Ben s. Miner, Washing ton. were present Connie Mack ef Philadelphia was expected, but failed to arrive.
 Clark Griffith, manager of the Wash ington club. arrived here on his way east after obtaining Walter Johnson's s signature to an American league con- tract and told the club owners how he had saved his star pitcher from the Federa1s. Comiskey admitted try ing to obtain Eddie Foster, Washing tons third baseman, from Griffith, but said he had been unsuccessful.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS UNSETTLED. Decline in Prices in Final Hours Was
 Led by United States Steel.

New York, Dec. 21--Such hopeful differences as the financial district may have drawn from last weeks rate decision granting eastern railroads a general freight advance was largely nullified or set aside today when it became known that the Pennsylvania public service commission had order ed 8. drastic reduction in coal freight rates between some of the important anthracite centerS and Philadelphia While officials of the roads most con- cerned. profesSed to regard the de- cision as entirely local in extent, spec ulatiVe Wall street evidently chose to accept it in less favorable spirit. This was reflected in persistent selling of Reading and Lehigh Valley shares, present movement.
 In the. final hour the list was sub jected to further unsettIement and lower prices. The decline was led by United States Steel, which had held at a fraction above SO, despite contin- ued offerings, some of them being in blocks of 1000 shares or more. Steel finally fell to 49 Is, or exactly 1 Is above its minimum figure.
 It was regarded as significant of market conditions that the committee which controls prices on the exchange deemed 1t expedient to establish new minimum quotations for the southern group of roads, including Atlantic Coast Line, Louisville and Nashville, Seaboard preferred and Southern Rail- way common and preferred. As a mat ter of fact, there has been no recent trading in these stocks, most of which have undergone dividend revision dur ing the closure of the exchange and since it's reopening.
 In the course of the days business. which was far below. normal, some of the equipment shares and Bethlehem Steel preferred showed signs of de- mand at slightly higher prices, but this group fell back with the entire list at the close, which was weak.
 Much of the days news was of a hopeful tenor. Money rates were easier. some special 30-day loans be- ing made at 1-2 per cent Exchange on London fell to it's lowest quotation since last February on an overabund- ance of offerings.

Charles White and Joe Shugrue have agreed to make 136 pounds ringside for their bout at Madison Square Garden Dec. 29. The weight will bring the contestants into the ring with their full fighting strength. which will leave no room for alibis in regard to making a low weight too weakening to have the men at their best. Nate Lewis, manager of White, wired Jimmy J Johnston, matchmaker of the club, last night that the Chicago lightweight would be in New York at the earliest possible date and not later than We'd nesday. White is in good trim at pres ent, having engaged in light training for the past three weeks. He stopped his last opponent, Jimmy Burns, in two rounds at Kenosha, coming out of the match without a scratch.
 Shugrue will start active training tomorrow, having rested up since go- ing draw with sammy Robideau at Bridgeport in 15-round bout last Friday night. White has not appeared in New York since he met Shugrue, when the latter received the popular verdict. Since then White has defeat ed both Ritchie and Welsh, two con tests that put him in class with the greatest lightweights in the country.
 The match is of importance to both men, as a championship bout with Welsh will be offered the winner at New Orleans Both have beaten the champion in 10-round no-decision contests.

ON cLARKIN.s TRAIL.
President o'Reurke Will Make Mat ters Hot for Hartford Baseball Mo- duI.

Assuming, if 1t is true. that James H. Clariin of the Hartford baseball club contemplateS deSerting the East ern association by aiding the Federal league in their efforts to form an outlaw minor circuit the O'Rourke men stand splendid chance of bring ing legal action against the Hartford mogul. Clarkin, it has been reported, dickered with Federal leaguers, in hopes of selling his franchise to the outlaws as a foundation for a strong circuit in this section. Although Clarkin might be expected to do any thing in his power against President O'Rourlke and his associates, there is no chance of the Hartford mogul com pleting the reported deal.
 When President O'Rourke was elect ed for a five year term as Eastern association head, there were other matters pertaining to the leagues fu- ture good that were discussed. One of these was the Federal league. Pres ident O'Rourke, at that time, pointed out that the Inagnates must cooper ate and do everything in their power to prevent any possible invasion of the outlaws. The magnates pledged their support and entered into some sort of a binding agreement that would prevent any magnate affiliating him self with the Federa1s. Clar5xin, it is said, was one of them.
 When the above was brought to the attention of President O'Rourke at his home in Bridgeport. the league execu- tive stated that the facts previously stated were true. O'Rourke said that he did not take Clarlin seriously. as he believes him to possess brains enough to live up to his agreement. Should Clarkin take such action as reported in some of the newspapers or if it can be proven that he offered the Federal league any encouragement. the probabilities are that President O Rourke will make matters warm for the Hartford disturber. O'Rourlze stated that he is not in accord with Clarkin's actions and that he has gone trifle too strong in his nlutterings through the press.
 O'Rourl1e challenges ClarlSin to over throw the Eastern association in fa- vor of the Feds as there will be noth- This would mean a great victory for O'Rourke and would also blacklist the Hartford man from organized baseball. Clarkin has always been a trouble maker and has few friends. There will be many joyous hearts when an- nouncement is made that he has re- Iinquished holdings on the Hartford franchise. It is believed that that day is not far distant Older baseball men believe that there is little or no pos sibility of a Federal league invasion within the territorial rights of the Eastern association. As the Eastern are stoutly opposed to any alliance with the Feds. the date is too late to construct baseball parks for this sea- son at least. New Haven is the only city in the association with two fenced baseball parks.
