 New York. Oct 15.1 = Perhaps the most significant feature .sof today's trading was the fact that dealings fell far below the million share mark sales amounting only to SS5.e00 shares.

WELSH TO RETIRE
Champion Lishtweicht Wants to Quit
 After Four More Bouts.

Freddie Welsh, the lightweight champion of the world, has announc- ed his first retirement from the roPed areno. He is earnest, he says. and no end of persuasion will make him change his mind. But, before he casts aside the felt soled shoes and the padded mits for all time he wants four bouts with the four men he con- siders the most logical contenders for the championship. These men are Willie Ritchie. the former title hold CT of the worlds title: Charlie White of Chicago. Johnny Dundee of this city and Joe Mandot of New Orleans He ignores Jack Britton. who once stopped Charley White in 19 rounds. and also Ted Kid Lewis, who recently defeated Britton.
 Welsh is almost ready to box now, and is training every day. He in- tends to take on few preliminary engagements, and, by Jan. 1, 1916, will be ready to engage any of the four men named above, in the order that the boxing enthusiasts think best. His present plan is to wind up his ca reer by the close of the boxing season, along about July 4. Should he be whipped in any one of the champ ionship\ battles, it would mean that his retirement would be hurried just that much. But should he win all four matches. he would Join Jack Me Auliffe and others as a champion who retired with his title.

With the exception of Holy Cross, neither the Army nor Colgate has met team which was capable of trying out the strong and weak points of the two elevens which play today.
 Yale and Princeton will play Spring field and Lafayette, respectively, and both should win without more than the ordinary early season opposition Springfield. which has favored the open game for several years, should if the latter stick to forward and lat eral passing as basis of attack.

PRESIDENT LANNIN WISHED TO HAVE TEAMS PLAY
Boston Boss Offered to Help Finance !! ss-. vs-s:- rc the Trip.

2
 Boston, Oct. 15.@The failure of the proposed transcontinental trip of the Championship Red Sox and their re- cent world series opponents, the Phila- delphia Nationals, was the subject of a telegram from President John J. Lannin of the Boston club. to Rob- ert B. Mccoy. secretary of the na- tional commission tonight. The mes sage of the Red Sox president, which asserted that fault for the abandon ment of the plan lay with the Phila- delphia club management. was in an- swer to a telegram from MT. McRoy notifying the Boston team that the Philadelphia men had changed their minds and were willing to make the trip.
 The telegram said in part:
 ''The Boston team and manage ment were ready at all times to make the trip to California and understood that everything was satisfactorily arranged. You were present at the meeting Wednesday night when the Philadelphia management positively stated that their players must attend banquet Saturday night in Thiladel- phia and considered it more important than the trip, which was scheduled to open in Chicago the next day. This sudden change and the unsatisfactory manner in which the whole affair was handled, led our players, Manager | SoL AA5dh oliN ny ySCAL lO bClACNC lIlGT6 would be no trip. Most of the Boston players are now on their way home Too late for Philadelphia management to reconsider"
 President Lannin said tonight that he had wished very much to have the teams play in the west and felt tbat the trip would be of great value to organized baseball. He added that he had personally offered to finance the entire proposition when the Sar l Francisco men who were also active in promoting it had failed to present guarantees that were considered satis- factory.

ABANDONMENT OF TRIP
 WON'T HURT BASEBALL
Would be Curious Spectacle to Have , Phiiiies Win Majority of Games.

Perhaps it is just as well that the proposed Pacific Coast trip of the Red Sox and Phillies has been called off. It would be a curious spectacle should the Philiies succeed in winning a maj ority of e1e games played from their conquerors in the Worlds Series. Such things are liable to happen, and in that case it would leave a doubt in the minds of followers of the game as to which really is the better team. The PhiIlies naturally, with every thing to gain and little to lose, desire to make the trip. while the reverse is true of the Red Sox. beyond a possible fn- ancial benefit. The entire matter rest ed with the Red Sox players. and ac- cording to the announcement of the National Commission in calling the trip off the Boston men asked too much in demanding expenses and a guarantee. In other words the Red Sox players were unwilling to take a chance at least on the money, end o1 the trip, demanding the promoters run all the risk, while they were certain to benefit financially. Such a series as proposed. following the Worlds Series might be full of danger to both teams and the game itself

 Now comes the argument again as to the faster league. the Nationals or Americans. The Boston Red 6oxr having walloped the day lights out of the Philadelphia Nationals brings up the subject again aud reference to the old dope book seems to lean toward the American league for the past half dozen years. Taking Into consideration the fact that the Bos- ton Braves formed the strongest baseball combination ever known in either league.Rnd defeated the Phlla- delphia Americans in four straight games in 1914, we have to concede natiopal honors to the American league in nvo of tho last six years.

IMPORTANT FOOTBALL GAMES TODAY
Unusual Possibilities for Upsets and Surprises Eastern Gridiron Virginia Goes to Cambridge With Victory Over Yale-sprine6eld Favored to Hold Els Forward and Lateral Passing.

Three games of more than ordinary importance feature the eastern foot ball card today. In the meeting, of Virginia and Harvard, Penna and Navy and Colgate and the Army there are unusual possibilities for upsets and surprises. Should ail six teams play strictly to season form. the result in each contest is likely to remain in doubt until the closing period of the game.
 Virginia goes to Cambridge with the prestige of yictorysove Yale to en- courage the eleven in its battle against the Crimson. The southerners in their two games to date have rolled up aitoS tai score of S4 points to their oppo- Rents' zero. Against Yale and Char lottesville they scored 10 points and added "A in the meeting with Richmond last Saturday. t A
 In facing Harvard the eleven from Virginia will find a further advanced and better coached combination than Yale lined up on Oct. 2, but 1t is doubt ful if the Cambridge team can muster the same power of. attack and defense that the Ellis showed in crude fashion two weeks ago. Injuries to several of Harvard's strongest players and shifts from the regular order of formation may weaken the Crimson to some ex- tent and 1t Is not unlikely that victory and defeat will hinge upon the team work coaching and strateg1ca1 ability developed during the game. .,
 At Annapolis the Middies will be called upon to meet in Pennsylvania an eleven with three victories and one defeat to its credit, while the Navy has yet to win its initial honor brackets. Georgetown and Pittsburgh have both triumphed over the sailors this season, and Pennsylvania has been de- feated by Penn State. .y ..a. The academy has excellent material, but has been obliged to play powerful teams before, passing the preliminary | stages of practice and training. Should the team find Itself in, the game with Pennsylvania and develop strong CO., hesive attack and defense, the Middies
