EASTERN ASSN MUST PERFECT
ORGANIZATION BEFORE JAN. II
Committee Held Lengthy Session
Merger Plan Recommended if East
erners Fail to Make Arrangements.

New York, Dec ia committee
appointed at San Francisco last month
by the National Association of Minor
Baseball leagues to revise playing ter
ritory in New England met here today.
The committee, composed of Secretary
John H. Farrell of the association,
President E. G. Barrow of the Inter
national league and President T. H.
Murnane of the New England league,
held lengthy session. After hearing
representatives of the International
and New England leagues and Presi-
dent James H. ORourke of the East
ern association, the committee decided
to give the last named association I'M
til Jan. IT to perfect it's organization.
If at that time the Eastern associa-
ton cannot show that it is in a posi-
ton to make arrangements for playing
its schedule during the ensuing sea-
son, the committee will recommend a
England league will add Hartford,
Springfield and New Haven to its cir
cult
Presidents Barrow and O'Rourke
both posted money for protection of
the Hartford and Springfield territory
with Secretary Farrell last month.
Both desired that the money should be
held pending a settlement of the terri
torial claims by the committee. Presi-
dent Barrow announced that he would
be willing to fOregO the International
claim on Hartford and Springfield if
his league were given a free field for
the location of a club at Worcester
Mass. This, however, may not be
necessary if the proposed peace agree
ment with the Federal league is con-
summated
In that event, the International
clubs would move back into Baltimore
and Newark.

FINANCIAL and COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS HEAVY.
Caused by Acute Phase of Situation
Between Washington and Vienna.

New York, Dec 16.-The more acute
phase of the situation between Wash
ington and Vienna was popularity ad-
Vanced as the principal reason for to-
days heavy market. The furry ere
ated yesterday by the extensive sales
and resultant declines in Anglo
French bonds seemed to have run it's
natural course. That issue was only
moderately active today, with mini
mum quotations of "a 3-S and "a Is
respectively, for regular and future
offerings.
Another break in exchange on Ger
many and Austria accentuated the
tense diplomatic relations. Marks fell
to rs and KrOnen, or bills on Vienna
fell to IS IA, both new minimums, but
marks recovered substantially later.
Sterling was barely steady and francs
were strong.
Dealings in stocks once more SAVIOR
ed strongly of professionalism and
were confined in undue proportion to
specialties. Mercantile Marine pre-
ferred, Texas Company and Westing-
house comprised the most prominent
features, several Of these far out
stripping U. S. Steel, the usual leader
in point of activity.
Clans in these industrials and
others like New York Air Brake Cru
chile Steel, United Fruit Consolidated
Gas, U. S. Industrial Alcohol, National
Biscuit and the department store is
sues reached very decided proportions
in the forenoon, but were largely, if
not entirely dissipated before the close.
General Motors common and preferred
were consistently heavy, the former
dropping % IL to $40 IL.
U. S. Steel reflected selling of the
same character recently noted, making
an extreme decline of 1 is at So!
Bethlehem Steel remained unquoted
and coppers were a negligible factor.
Prices were at lowest levels at the
close, rails osing one to two points
on charged offerings of the more rep
resentative shares. Total sales amount
ed to $500 shares.
Further selling of the international
list was the only external evidence of
the British chancellors plan to mo-
Billie American securities The Bank
of England reported a slight decrease
in its liability reserve and inf1nitesimaI
gain in gold. Bonds were heavy, with
numerous future transactions. Total
sales, par value, aggregated 81, 537, 900.
L. S. bonds were unchanged on call.

CALLAHAN TO MANAGE
PITTSBURGH PIRATES.
President Dreyfuss Announces the 40
pointment of White Sox ex-Mana-
ger,

Pittsburgh, Pa, Dec. 16.-President
Barney Dreyfuss announced tonight
that James ]. Callahan, former mana
ger of the Chicago White SOx has
been appointed manager of the Pitts
burgh National league club to succeed
Fred Clarke, resigned
The announcement came as a COM
plete surprise, as Callahan's name had
not been mentioned in connection with
the job. 1t is understood the new
manager signed a contract for one
year only. Callahan managed the Chi
cagO White Sox for three years, being
succeeded last season by Clarence
Rowland.
Mr.. Dreyfuss left tonight for New
York, where he will make a report to-
morrow to the National league mag
mates on his recent trip to Chicago,
where he presented the plan for peace
between the two major and the FEEDER
al leagues to American league leaders
and obtained their endorsement.

HAUGHToN's KEYNOTE
is PREPAREDNESS
Crimson Coach Has a Wonderful Sys-
tenn.

System" is something that makes
one bunch look like a million dollars
and makes the other bunch look
cheap. Tom Lawson gave the system
its name, but Percy d. HaughtOn
gave it publicity.
Haughton is Harvard's football pow
er. He isn't half so dynamic as Tom
Shevlln, or half SO speedy as Johnny
Rush, or half so explosive as Fielding
Yost. He doesn't have to be. because
HaUghton has a system up his sleeve,
writes Neal r. O.Hara in the Boston
Post.
The system has not got a lot of free
advertising this fall. Tom Shevlin
took q slam at it just after his revit-
allied, but unsystematized Yale team
had taken a bit out of the Tigers hide.
Tom said that there wasn't anything
in this system bunk, that he didn't
have one. didn't need one nd
wouldn't use one. And all that hap
pened to Tom was Al to 0 earth
quake, with the system at the bottom
Of all the quivers. So maybe there is
tidbit of usefulness in a system after
all.
The Haughton system is not nearly
so formidable as word painters have
made it. 1t isn't invincible. as Cor
nells score sheet will show, and it
| isn't overwhelming as the narrow
squeak that Harvard had in it's Prince
ton game will indicate. But it does
serve to give a pretty polish and an
attractive lustre to a football season
| in its ebbing days, so Percy D. hangs
| onto the system idea year after year.
Haughton does not practice magic
| when he prepares his Harvard young
men for their big time engagements.
| He is no gridiron SvengaIi. Eddie
| Mahan is ready to swear to a ream of
| affidavits that Haughton never hyp-
| Noticed him. Charlie Rrickley will
! take superlative oaths that Haughton
| never made him inhale Arabian in
| cense and imagine that he was unbeat-
! able. There never was a Harvard
| athlete who produced the goods in a
| pinch who performed the trick solely
| by inspiration. The Wanted system
| is only a staple utility of the CONNER
| cial world. 1t is a lot of thorough
| ness mixed with efficiency, with a dash
| of COnfdenCe-aH poured into eleven
| sets of brains. 1t is nothing more
| than the proprietor of the family
| grocery store or the corner pharmacy
| uses every day.
| HaUShtOn's system can do its work
| without stars, but it has rarely been
! compelled to do so. When the Har-
| ward boss has a luminary on his list
! he loses no time in framing an Of
| fence that will be of great value for
| the amount of energy expended; but
| if the worst comes to the worst, his
| system would still be operative with
! out brilliant performer.
