Birthday of First Chief
 of the National League


 sunday marked the seventy-seventh Anniversary of the birth in East Had dam Conn, of Morgan Gardner BuIke1ey, soldier. statesman, ana m 1na-5a mortal in baseball annals as the hrst rlresident of the National League. It will be forty years next February since the National League was launched in New York, following a. preliminary meeting in Louisville Most of the pioneers of professional baseball are dead. and the Hartford statesman is among the last of the survivors of the baseball rulers Of 1876.
 The first president of the National League. like the present head of that circuit. has served as governor or a State and as a member of Uncle Samss Congress- Mr. BuIke1ey was educated hood he left the Connecticut capital to establish himself, in business in Brooklyn. When the civil war broke out he Joined a New York regiment and served brave1y throughout the bloody conflict He was one of the ball in the early days of the game, following the war. He returned to Hartford in 1872, and organized a bank, of which he became president. Immersed as he was in financial af- fairs he continued firm in his devo- tfan to baseball, and when the pro Eessfona1 game seemed in danger of sxtinction because of the gambling and other evils which had attached themselves to it, he headed the res cue party. With William A. Hubert of Chicago, Nicholas E, Young of Washington. the late A. z. spalding, w ". Haldeman of LolIisville,/ and other patriots, he helped to establish the National League on a. new, clean and sportsmanlike basis.
 Besides being the president of the league. MT. Bu1ke1ey was the owner of the Hartford franchise. and made his city one of the charter members of the oldest major. He retired as head of the league at the close of the 1876 season. but continued as presi- dent of the Hartford club for another year, when. owing to the press of other matters. he was forced to break off his active connection with the sport. During his brief administra- ton. however, baseball was purged of many evils, and under his successor, William A. Hu1bert, who died in 1882, the game was placed upon a sound basis.
 Very few of the pioneer magnates of the National League remained in the game very long. Hubert was president of the Chicago club for six srsars. Mr. Bu1keley was president of tsae Hartford club two years, and J. l.. Neck of Cincinnati and J, R. c. Lucas Of St. Louis for the same period. w. N. Ha1deman also headed the Louis vile club for two years. All the other charter presidents, including N. T. Appo1onio of Boston. William H. Cam meyer of New York. and Thomas J.. Smith of Philadelphia. retired at the end of the first season.
 As governor of his native State and a member of the United States Senate, the first head of the National League afterward distinguished himself in

That President Wilson is sending Colonel B. M. House to Europe to be on the ground when the time for peace negotiations comes is a report that went the rounds in Washington From various sources, diplomatic and other, the American government has been informed that in six months time the peace movement in Europe will have gained great momentum At that time, according to belief en- tertained in administration circles the present military deadlock existing on all the fronts will have been empha- sized and. become clear beyond per- adventure to all the nations. It will then be realized that 8 decision can be reached only by years more of fighting and a trenuendous cost of lives and money. All the be11igerents, 1t is believed, will be in a frame of mind to accept even a temporary peace. Colonel House, it is under stood, will be then in an ideal posi- tion to act as agent of President Will son as a mediator and go-between for the belligerent nations.

THE STOCK MARKET
CT. L. watson & Co9

In our opinion, much of the slug gishness of recent markets may be charged to, over-indu1gence in spices and paprika last summer, when the War Order stock mania was in vogue. In that period prices went up 10 to Is points daily, sometimes hourly. The people who made big money in that frenzy are reluctant to buy properties for a slow advance. But a penalty of very high margins-3O to 60 per cent is imposed by conservative brokers upon business when they execute or ders in the shares that have had enor-
 nous advances in price and that are not under the 1iInelight of frequent statements of earnings. Furthermore,

the o1d-style standard stocks have a better and wider market under ad- verse developments than any of the specialties enjoy; they are now repre- senting properties that are making large profits; their quotations are rel atively low and a larger amount of them can be bought on the same mar gin required to carry the issues which are subject to rapid and sometimes violent fluctuations.
