New York.

NEW YORK, June 10, 1916.
The leaf market is in one of those
paroxysms that occur only once in
every decade or two, for nearly every
type of tobacco is being taken out of
the leaf dealers hands almost as fast
as it is shipped. While high prices
have to some extent a deterrent effect
in withholding sales, nevertheless, it
seems that the cigar manufacturers
have become somewhat reconciled.
Hence there is little more activity
than even in the past few months. The
high-price bugbear in this years Suma-'
ira, while it is being felt to quite a
considerable degree by the nickel cigar
manufacturer, nevertheless does not
now show an enormous advance consid-
ering the quality of the tobacco but
sufficiently, of course, to cause hard
ship on this particular manufacturer,
owing to the advance he has to bear
not only in this but in other commodl-
ties used in the manufacture of his
product, and in labor as we'll. The
American wrapper trade has exper-
fenced and exceptional good year only
insofar as the packer was concerned
regarding the disposition of his hold
ings. Porto Rican leaf is being dis
posed of as fast as it is shipped into
this market and the Havana leaf mar
ket, which has been more or less stag
nant the last few years, seems to be
coming back to life again. The seed
leaf market is being swept cleaner this
year than it has been for a long time
past. Journal.

A. L. IN SESSION-WEEGHMAN
AFTER STALLINGS- FOR CUBS
BY Mark Shields

No matters of great moment are
scheduled to come before the Amer
lean league meeting, which cOnyenes
this afternoon. A new form of con-
tract is to be considered. 1t embod-
les the liability clause and will prob
ably be adopted without argument.
Magnates and managers from all
over the circuit are present at the
Hotel La Sale and there was some
talk of trades, with each manager
wanting a load of coal for a scUttle
of ashes. There was a hot tip that
Ray Chapman, Cleveland shortstop,
might come to the White SOx in eY-
change for a pitcher and an infeldeF.
Cleveland executives are here in
force.
Jim Scott is the pitcher named in
the deal and the infielder on the SoX
end will be-either Terry or McMul-
lin. The move would strengthen
both teams. Lee Foil needs an ex-
perienced pitcher to make his team
a hot contender all the way. With
Chapman at short and Weaver at
third that department of the Sox in
ner wall would be the best in the big
leagues.
But before any great advances can
be made by the Hose an improve
ment will have to be made at first
base.
Pres. Weeghman of the Cubs is
still shopping around New York for
a manager and some athletes to boil
ster the fortunes of the North Sid
ers, handicapped by lack of advice
from an experienced baseball man
in his efforts toward the latter
achievement.
This morning there was a rumor,
apparently with some foundation,
that, George StaIlings might be
weaned away from the Braves and
head the Cubs, Fred Mitchell sue
ceeding Is chief as head Of the Bos-

an effort to put over the deal. Fail
ing to secure Stallings, Weeghman
will make a new offer for Mitchell
Ban Johnson, head of the Ameri-
can league, has received word from
New York that StaIlings is a real pos
sibiity to head the Cubs. He has
not been getting along well with
Percy HaUghton and would not be
averse to a change. He has a con-
tract with four mole years to run,
and this would have to be assumed
by the locals.
To get either StaIIings or Mitchell
Weeghman must give up money and
a player. He wants to hold to every
man named as acceptable to the
Braves. He is also dickeTing with
St. Louis for Snyder and Hornsby.
Right there is where he needs the
advice of a baseball veteran; for Mil
Ter Higgins of the Cards is one of
the closest traders in the pastime.
Higgins is said to want Cy Will
iams for Snyder. Weeghman balks.
And he needs backstopping material
badly, much worse than he needs
Williams. With Mann and Flack left
over from last years TegularsS ia
cobso1, Hunter or Kelly should be
able to fill the one remaining gap in
the order named.
If Weeghman gives up anything
besides money for the release of
MitcheII-in the event it is impossi-
BILE to secure StalIngs every base

nothing for something. They will
have the North Side executive
pegged as something easy.
Mitchell is untried. He has been
given much credit for his work as a
Stalings lieutenant, but many lieu
tenants have made poor captains.
Harry Davis of the Mackmen is one
notable example.
Davis was big aid to Connie Mack
and was boosted as a potential world
