lNTER-ELKs LEAGUE.
Individuai Pocket Billiard Champion
 ships of the B. F., o. Elks

On the evening of February the 18th at the home of the New Haven Elks there will be staged on of the match games of pocket billiards between Will liam White of the Asbury Park Elks club and Zack Isangold Of the Brook lyn Lodge of E,llls, this will be the first game in which these two players will have met. The game will be 200 points.
 They are both champions of their district in good standing in the com munities as Ell1s and citizens.
 A trophy is now being designed by one of the largest silver miths in the country, which will be a marvellous work of art from the artistic point of view and when completed will be valued at s1,000.
 The lodge of which the winner is a member will be the custodian of this trophy as long as the member can re- tain the title of champion at pocket billiards in the Benevolent and Pro- tective Order of EIks, he must accept fifteen days, and the games must be played within sixty days after the ac- ceptance of such challenge.
 These championship match games will be 200 points each and for three successive nights, the title holder to club in which these games are to take place, the tables must be of reEula- ton size, all ivory balls will be used in these contests.
 The Elks all over the country are casting eyes toward the East to see who will be returned the winner in the first contest of it's kind ever staged as long as the B. r. o. E. have been organized. It is more than likely that that at the state conventions champ iOnship matches will be held as it will have tendency to attract lovers of the game who would like to witness these time to travel to do so at any other time.
 To the Exalted Ruler, Charles w Birely of the New Haven lodge of Ellls great credit is due for having arranged with president of the league Buddy r. Domscke to have on of these games played at the home in New Haven, which will undoubtedly attract not only their own membership but many Elks from other lodges in this vicinity.
 The games will start not later than D. m, giving all those who desire to get there ample time to see the opening shot.
 Delegations from Danbury, Water bury, Ansonia, Bridgeport, Hartford, New London and other lodges will be present, and it may be possible that at ticut lodges can be arranged whereby erton trophy, valued at $500 and which the clubs can compete for the Heath was donated by a, member of the Brooklyn lodge, that good sportsma n, James M- Heatherton, who is eN-ama- teur pocket billiard champion of the United States.

New York, Feb. 3.-F'or five hours today President Ban Johnson and tl2e baseball club owners of the American at the league annual schedule meeting. Various matters of moment to the league were under discussion, but at the close of the meeting the only af drmative action announced was the addition of the playing schedule for 1915, which was made public. While the session was in progress President Barrow and several International League club owners held whispered conversations in the corridors of the hotel, but none of them was admitted to the American League meeting. It was expected that some definite ac- ton would be taken by the major league today in reference to the re- Tnoval of the draft rule from the class AA league clubs of the National As sOciation. President Johnson's Secre- tary announced that this matter had been discussed and that it was unan- Imously agreed to leave the question of abolition of the draft in President Johnson's hands and that he will prob ably take it up within a few days with the other members of the national commission or some representatives of the National League.
 No change was made in the play CT liIillL OI -J HUN III lOI CS III IilS American League, although at the De- cen1ber meeting of the National league that body reduced the number from 9 players to 21-
 Although there were rumors to the effect that some of the American League clubs would offer players to the New York Americans in order to add | Othe playing strength of the Yankees, no mention was made of such intention, according to the statemets Of the club representatives. Colonel Jacob Rupper, Jr,, and Captain T. L.. Huston who recently purchased the local American League club were electedl members of the league. The new owners wre introduced formally to their brother leaguers and each in q short speech promised to do every thing possible to gather the strongest players available in order that New York would be represented by a club worthy of the city.

New York Feb. 3.-The outstanding feature of today's dull and irregular stock market was it's extremely pro- fesSIonaI character, Trading was all most entirely given over to that fac tion, which continued it's operations on the bear side, judging from the quiet but persistent pressure upon leading issues for the greater part of the ses- sion
 United States Steel. which led yes terday's rISc, kept well above its new minimum, most of the selling concen- trating upon Reading and Canadian Pacific These stocks, particularly Reading, manifested some heaviness in the London market. where the inter national list, with few exceptions, tended towards a lower level. Selling for foreign account here was not suffi- ciently large to affect quoted values.
 There were some contrary move ments in the industrial and speculative groups. Petroleum shares adding to re- cent gains on reports of another ad- vance in the price of the crude product. Fertilizer issues also scored substan- tlal advances, while Sugar stocks de- clined precipitately during mid-session. Closing prices in numerous instances were below yesterdays. National Bis cult and Missouri Pacific developed sudden weakness.
 Cereal markets attracted less atten- ton, although May wheat once more moved in sensational fashion, suffering q severe decline at the close Com mission houses with local connections report a marked gdecTeas SC in wheat op- erations for New York account. Un- official advices suggested a continuance of the large foreign demand for our foodstuffs and cotton.
 Trade authorities report better feeling this week in the steel industry, the more important companies expect ing further increase running into March. This is evidenced in the addi. tions recently made 10 the working forces in Pittsburgh and Cleveland dis tricts.
 The feature Of the bond market, which reflected the contraction in stocks, was the addition to the board of the new Pennsylvania railroad 4 1-2 per cent, which sold at their recent high price. Otherwise the price move ment was irregular. Total sales (par Valuel aggregated S1,969,000.

 It was pointed out recently that when the Federal league reached the stage where it was forced to get rid of some of it's players, and these men found themselves barred from organ ized baseball the players already within the ranks would change their attitude This is about due to hap pen if the New England minor league plan is put through by the indepen- dents. Should the play go through the players of any club that left the ranks of organized baseball would bc outlowed and organized baseball would feel justified in trying 10 sign them for some other clubs in the ranks. This, of course, would mean more law suits, but organized baseball is certainly in Q, better position to rishL for the men in the courts than the new minor league, even if il was backed by the Federal league.
