FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
STOCK pRIcEs MovE UPWARD.
Exchange Authorities to Restore All
 Shares 10 the List Today,

New York, Dec. 14.-The unqualified success today of the first full Ses- sion of open stock dealings caused the authorities of the exchange to decide to restore all shares to the list to- morrow. The issues thus placed in the open market include such inter- nationals as Great Northern South ern Pacific, Canadian Pacific, New York Central and Baltimore and Ohio, as well as other Issues of specula- tive importance. The action Of the exchange was taken as an indication that all fear of foreign liquidation was at an end. It removed virtually all the restrictions which have been in force since July 30, except those which apply to cash dealings and sales under minimum prices. These will be continued as necessary safe guards against concerted or profess sional selling.
 From start to finish, except for oc- casiond wavering moments, today's movement of prices was upward. with especial activity in the metal or cop- per group and some of the higher priced railways. including Reading, Lehigh Valley and Northern Pacific The demand for the coppers was cluding better trade prospects, their relatively low prices and their spec ulative position.
 Long before 1t became known that the ban was to be lifted from the in- ternational list, those shares moved up from 2 to points over Saturday. So far as it was possible to judge from surface conditions, Europe was in no sense a factor in the days oper- ations. Such selling as might have proceeded from that quarter left no impression upon quoted values. The days business amounted to 2aS 900 shares, which compared favorabIy with the average for this period of the year, Routine news was in keeping with the movement of stocks. in that it was mainly of a constructive char acteH. The financial community was again encouraged by unofficial ad- vices respecting the prospects for fn- creased freight rates, the middle west reported a broadening of general bus7 mess and an increase of trafftc and more emergency currency wRs retired by local banks. which loaned freely Of their cash at easy rates.
 German exchange was agaan heavy marks failing to s9 1-4 as against e3, the middle of last week. Bills on Lon don were fraction lower.
 Total bond sales, with strong mar Bet in specuIatire fssuee, amounted to $2,627, ,08e,

French Lick, Ind, Dec. 14.-The New York American League club has been sold to Colonel Jacob Ruppert. The price is about $450,000.
 Colonel Ruppert will not acquire any interest in the Federal League.
 This is the substance of statements made here today by Colonel Ruppert and President James A. Fillmore of the gardiug the proposed establishment of a Federal League club in New York. After the conference Colonel Ruppert said:
 T have already taken over the Yankees. The price is the only thing that remains to be settled This probably will be $450,000.
 "I am afraid we were too late" said Mir. Gilmore, "as Colonel Ruppert al- ready has purchased the Yankees I shall try to find another packer for the New York club. I may interest Pat Harahan and MT. SeeIbach of Louis yille.''
 Two Associated With Him.
 French Lick, Ind, Dec. 14.-Colonel Ruppert said that George Gust and Tillinghast Huston are associated with him in the deal for the New York club. He also said that Ban Johnson, president of the American league. and Huston will come to French Lick on Thursday to complete the deal
 The question of manager for the club has not been considered yet, Colonel Ruppert said, but report was current here tonight that Hugh Jennings of the Detroit club is Rupperts favorite for the place. Ruppert characterized as absurd the report that Connie Mack would pilot the club.
 It was reported that Gilmore and Weeghman would go to Louisville to- night or tomorrow to confer with Harahan and Seelbach regarding the proposed New York Federal league club.
 Wont Be Jennings" Says NaVin.
 Detroit. Mich, Dec. 14.-President Frank J. Navin of the Detroit baseball club tonight said that Hughie Jen- nings will not manage the New York Americans next year.
 Jennings is under contract to me-" said MT. Nayiu.

 Kansas City, Mo-. Dec. 14.-No nego- tiations for the sale of the local Fed eral League club have been entered into with Jacob Ruppert, IT,, or any one. else, according to c. C. Madison, its president. When shown a report from French Lick, Ind, that Mir. Rup- pert and J. A. Gilmore. president of the Federal League, were in conference, Mir.

Not to Play eie Teams.

Although the Harvard authorities have announced the university foot ball schedule for the 1915 season with Trinity as the opponent for the sec ond game, there is small chances of the Blue and Gold eleven playing the Crimson. The Yale schedule will be announced soon and there has been a rumor to the effect that Trinity would be found on the Blue card also. How evSe it IS the opinion of those in charge of athletics on the Hill that ii would be folly for Trinity to play either Harvard or Yale with the as- surance of being badly beaten and battered into the ba@ain.

BRAVES WERE TIPPED OFF
 BY scHANG's HABIT.
StaIIinss Knew That the Athletic 5aekstep Stepped Out for Curve Ball and Took Advantage of It.

Immediately after the worlds series the baseball fans throughout the country. recovering from the shock of the Athletics defeat, began trying to dope out why the famous Mack ma chine should be so completely out classed and made to look like bush league aggregation.
 Hundreds of reasons have been ad- vanced, many suspicious voiced, and it was even hinted that the Athletics signs were all known to the Braves, while the Mackmen were fooled com pletely by trying to play from the Braves signs. The latter was un- questionabiy the truth, but the former was not taken seriously, as 1t was argued that the Athletics were too smart a club to be caught mapping for more than one game.
 Knew Every Ball.
 The manager of a National league club has come forth with the state ment that the Braves knew every ball that was pitched by the Athletics pitchers with the exception of Eddie Plank, and that Catcher Wally Schang unconsciously tipped the Braves off to what was coming.
 The managers name is withheld be- cause he did not believe the publicity given him would rdo him any good, but he is willing to -arove his statement to the satisfaction of all. He says that Schang has never been able to break himself of the habit of setting himself about six inches further to the right after signaling for a curve ball if a right handed pitcher is working, and that StaIlings, having picked up and
