EMERALDS THROW UP SPONGE.
Withdraw From City League and Disband Players and Management Unable to Agree-President Rinela Will Fill Vacancy Before ext sunday-Timmers Sign Five Players.

President RinelIa of the City league announced late Friday evening that he had been informed that the Em- eralds have cast up the sponge and would withdraw from the league. The Emeralds from the start have had eruptions and disagreements in their camp which finally ended in the breaking up of the team. The team has changed managership two or three times and they were unable to delegate the right person at the wheel to establish harmony. The East Ends have a game scheduled with the Emeralds Sunday and President Ri- nella is trying to reorganize the Em- eralds, and if he does not succeed he will fill the vacancy before next Sum day, as several teams have already filed applications for admission.
 It is reported that the overwhelm- ing defeat given to the Emeralds by the Sturtevants last Sunday paved the way for iisbandment. Manager Woodmansee of the Trimmers has signed up the following players: Quinn, Murphy, Simcox. Cong1ou, and Zurowski, completing his list of fifteen men
 If the Emeralds do not decide to Ends will play off one of their post

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
STOCK MARKET.
Hesitation and Heaviness-Weaknes
 in Railroad Groups.

New York, July 9.-In its main aspects, today's stock market was mostly a repetition of recent days. Hesitation and heaviness were its
 chief characteristics, with increased weakness in the railway group, nota-
 ply the low priced southwestern is- sues, as well as St. Paul and New Haven and continued pool manipula- ton in war specialties. Missouri Pacific fell to 3, the lowest price in its history, and St. Paul at 781-2 recorded it's minimum figure for many years. Missouri. Kansas & Texas, Southern Railway common and pre- ferred, Rock Island and Chesapeake & Ohio also registered lowest quota ttons in years. Later St. Paul pre- ferred, one of the investment issues seldom traded in, fell to 122, its bot tom price in almost a decade. The weakness in New Haven was attri- buted to the nature of the restitution suit against the old directorate. For e1gn liquidation was again responsi- ble for today's recessions, although offerings from that source were main " Tn bonds. London was seller of Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific and coppers. According to common re- port, large sales of our stocks and bonds were again effected by private transfer.
 Almost the only speculative favorite to show steadiness was United States steel, which was supported in antici- patton of an excellent June statement or thrilled tonnage to be issued after the close of tomorrow's session. Read ing, Union Pacific and. Amalgamated copper were under constant pressure and later New York Central and Ie- nlgn Valley were added to the list of heavy issues, the market closing with a fevertsh undertone at or near the lowest prices of the session. Total sales amounted to 3S2,O00 shares. Variable tendencies were shown by foreign exchange, sterling opening at an advance over yesterday- hnt faii- ing back on a small offering of bills Gontfnental exchange reflected the Agnt dealings on 1the francs and fires.
 Sales of bonds for future delivery were almost the largest of any day gregated $2,320,00O. U. s. bonds were unchanged on call.

TOPPING WILL MEET KERR
 IN CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Only Two Greenwich Players to
 Qualify in Championship Division.

Bridgeport. Conn. July s.-Two Greenwich golfers, Henry J. Topping. of international fame and Hamilton K Kerr, who is making his debut in the state title event will oppose each other tomorrow in the final cham pionship match of the 17th annual tournament of the Connecticut Golf Association. Topping and Kerr were the only Greenwich players to qualify in the championship division, and now one other will receive the runner-up cup.
 In a way the victories of both Ton ping and Kerr this afternoon were up- sets. The former, on his record. should have had an easy time with Reginald M. Lewis, the New Canaan school boy in the semi-f1nal round. but because the latter was playing such brilliant golf he was really placed a favorite over Topping by many of the experts Robert Abbott. Brooklawn, was regarded as a certain winner over Kerr, especially after having disposed of w. Parker Seeltv present champion earlier in the day' In fact, with his morning victory An bolt became the real favorite above the field.

But Who Will be the Third Man In
 the Rinu2

In the ordinary course of champion ships the above statement that Will lard and the referee would be the two In addition to the challenger is cor rect. But we have new breed of champion in Jess, or at least in his managers. Heretofore a live wire boy Tor a pilot and talk fest merchant for press agent managed to put a top-nitcher on speaking terms with the sporting public. Not so with the Jess corps of managers. They are following a policy that is not meeting with general favor, and have wrecked the championship ship on the rocks of unpopularity. If given a free rein Jess would undoubtedly step into the ring and offer to meet anyone of the championship calibre. However, he lost his personality in the sea of man ageria1 storms and performs his twice a-day stunt on the sawdust ring like the good little breadwinner he is. If he is good and obeys his managers they give him a small hunk of public ity that evening to the effect that
 Manager Jones says" and Manager Jones predicts, not to mention that Manager Jones sums up," eac. Life with Jess is just one darn manager after another. They started rotten and If such a thing were possible. they are getting worse with each addition.
