FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
A SELLING MOVEMENT.
Profit Taking Results in Disposition ct
 Over 100000 Shares.

New York, Jan. 25.-The profit talk ing tendency shown in the earlier trad ing of Friday ruled throughout the course of yesterdays stock market. Following a lower opening there was active selling of leading securities. The market became rather dull in the sec ond hour, but renewed pressure toward the close resulted in final prices not far above the low levels. Transactions totalled over 300,00O shares, the largest Saturday business for many months. Bonds continued to be heavily purchas- ed the days dealings. being nearly $3,- 500,00o.
 The London market for American se- curities was generally depressed. On the opening here fractional declines were made in Reading. Steel. Union Pacific, Copper, Baltimore & Ohio and other active issues. Reading accounted for about one-sixth of the days deal ings, giving way over a point. United States Steel also was heavily sold, and declined point, as did Bethlehem Steel. American Smelling and Rein ing, Baltimore & Ohio, Lehigh Valley and the Pacifics all declined over l point.
 Beyond the expectation of a large increase in loans to be shown by the bank statement there was litle except realization selling to depress the mar ket Some beariSh argument was pro- duced from the renewed talk of trouble with Japan, which with the Mexican difficulties was announced as subject of a White House conference for Mon day night The prohibition of inter locking directorates, as it appeared in the text of the proposed anti trust law, was considered more sweeping than even the framers of the bill had proba- ply intended, and thetre was general confidence that when the final bill was passed some previous or possible com petition or connection between corpo- rations must be supposed if separation of directors was to be enforced

NEW RAcouETs CHAMPIONS.
Davis and Wear Defeat Champions for
 National Title.

New York, Jan. 20-New kings were crowned yesterday at raequets when Dwight F. Davis and J. W. Wear, of St. Louis, came through the final round of the national championship at the Racquet and Tennis club with flying colors. This pair, which was practi cally unknown in this vicinity. lived up to all the promise they showed when they were working out ill prac tice on the local court and they added to their we'll earned honors of the day before when they won from the two veteran cracks, Lawrence Waterbury and Payne Whitney, by defeating H. D. Scott and G. R. Fearing, of Boston who had won the first place in this sport year ago. It was no easily earned victory, however, for it took six hard fought games before the de cision could be rendered.
 The St. Louis pair lost the first two games and by the way the champions were playing it looked as if the St. Louis entrants would have the time of their live to make any sort of a show ing. But they had the stuff out of which champions are made and ran out the next four games in dazzling fashion. There was nothing in the way of a lucky victory In it. They played racquets that could not be de- nied in the final stages. and when the final stroke was made the gallery ap- plauded them in a style that was a fine tribute to their skill. The score was 12-15, 615, 15-3, 15-11, 15-4.

FEDERAL LEAGUE MUST GET BUSY
To Continue Center of Baseball of Train ing Season Will Show Strength of Outlaws-Majors Prepare For Southern Exodus

New York. Jan. 25.--Ignoring the act ivity of the Federal leagues magnates in their quest for big league stars, the club owners of the American and Ma tional leagues have completed their plans for the spring training campaign and are issning formal calls for the gathering of veterans and recruits. Within month the exodus to the vari- ous sou thern camps will be underway.
 With the actual beginning of prac- tce. 8 clearer idea of the status of or ganized baseball in relation to the new organization will be possible, for, with a few exceptions, the 1914 personnel of the. sixteen clubs forming the major leagues will be shown by the players who report for training. Certain clubs, such as the Athletics and the Giants. do not anticipate any trouble in show ing virtually 100 per cent attendance. but jthe average magnate win not feel assured of his enrolment until each Elembers of the club has dopned uni- form, and answered ''preSentN to the roll call.
 Radical Move Necessary.
 If by that time the Federal league has not announced some definite cir cult list of players and plans for traipingA camps and parks, interest
  expected to return to normal channels. This. it Is understood is what the big circuit owners are counting upon, and it is for this reason that they have ex- ercised unusual promptness and care in arranging their training camp plans and the spring exhibition series. Ac cording to the veteran baseball promot- CTS, once the preliminary playing sea son activity is underway the new or ganization will find it difficult to hold the center of the baseball stage unless some radical move toward actual play is made.

HARVARD BASEBALL
 PROSPECTS BRIGHT
Only Three Regulars Lost Through
 Graduation.

Shortly after the mid-year eXamina- uons at Harvard, the candidates for the baseball team will be called out for daily practice in the baseball cage. The battery candidates have been working on the chest weights in the Hemenway gymnasium since the close of the Christmas vacation. The first call for candidates was issued last fall when all men who had aspirations for making the team except those who were engaged in other sports during the fall were supposed to report s the diamond on Soldiers field for daily practice. \ few cuts were made in the squad and it now contains 50-odd members.
 Only three regulars have been lost to the team through graduation Hitch cock and Frye, both of whom pitched in the Yale series last spring, are still in college. In addition to these men there are Boyle, Macdonald and Whit ney, last years freshman twirlers, who are trying for the box position.
 There is a gap left in the catching department owing to the graduation of Young. Osborne. who was 2 sub There is a possibility that Coach Sex ron will move Clark from second base behind the bat
 The candidates for first base are Ay-res, who played the position last year. and Nash who was captain of the freshman team. Ayres appears to have the cali. Nash may be used in the outfield.
 In case Clark is placed behind the bat the contestants for second base will be Phillips, who played in one Of the Yale games last year in that po Sition, and Harvey, who was captain of the second team. Capt Wingate will tnke care of the short field posi- ton. The likely candidates for third base are Fripp, West, Mason and Err win.
 Gannett and Hardwick. two regulars from last years team, undoubtedly will hold their positions in the oN- field. Gannett plays right and Hard wick center. The fight for the left gar den will be between Milholland, Cur tis and Nash
