 Inasmueh as Springfield is MT. Mi cholson's home, it is deemed appro- priate to have Springfield the oppos- ing club on Elks' day. June Spring field is due to play New London and that will be the date if MT. Nichol- sons schedule will allow of his com ing here on that day.
 Local Elks, 1t is expected, will turn out in numbers, to do honor to the grand exalted ruler and also in com pliment to the ball team. Elks' day was planned three years ago but it rained and upset the plans.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
SATURDAYS MARKET.
FeVerish Activity in Mercantile Ma
 rine Featured the Session.

New York, April 29.-Trading dur ing today's short session was almost completely dwarfted by the further feverish activity of Mercantile Marine at advancing prices. The preferred shares made an extreme gain of 3-S to the new high record of 91 and the common rose a point to 25 1S or IA under it's maximum quotation, made early in$the week. Continued dealings in these issues aggregated 10000 shares, or over 25 per cent. of the total operation.
 Demand for Marines was so insistent as to convey the impression of con- test for control, despite recent unoff1- cial statements to the effect that new and important interests are already dominant It is not probable that today's upswing presages an early is- sue of a reorganization plan, to which the various contending factions in the company will find it advisable to subscribe.
 The rest of the list was irregular and besitant at the outset bue because more active in the final hour under the lead of such mixed speoialties as Distillers' securities. P. S. Industrial Alcohol, the Motors, Petroleums and American Locomotive.
 In these and similar issues extreme gains of to almost 6 points were scored and largely retained.
 ISa1lS ana other standard stocks were disappointment to those who looked for a continuance of their re- cent strength Shares of this class were dull and pressure was effe0tiv throughout with moderate losses. U. !, Steel followed the course of the rails rising only the smallest fraction and closing unchanged. Total sales of stocks amounted to 41O.0O0 shares.
 There were further favorable rail- way returns for March, Reading re- porting a surplus increase of over $900.000 and Canadian Pacific a net gain of $448,000. Trade reports again referred enthusiastically to country wide activity in wholesale and job ping lines and predictions of higher prices for steel and iron were free ly made.
 Bonds were strong but without any expansion of dealings. Total sales (par y:tlue) aggregated $1,S90,000.

MEREDITH GREATER IN
 DEFEAT THAN VICTORY
Great Penn Runner Equals Record in
 His Efforts to Place Quakers on

Ted Meredith, the University of Pennsylvania's Olympic champion, is greater in defeat than in victory.
 Z Forced to the absolute limit of his seemingly storeless reserve power, the peerless Meredith ran the last quar- ter mile for the Qualers in the one- mile relay championship on Franklin Field, Philadelphia, Saturday after noon in AT 4-5 seconds, but even this wonderful performance, which eQuaIled Maxey Longs worlds record around a turn, was not enough to bring victory to his team. Starting in last place, he faced handicap of close to 25 yards when he took up the running, and it proved to be beyond even his superhuman speed.
 Harvard, with Willcox running the last leg in 4S 4-6 seconds, won the race in minutes 19 seconds, a full second behind the record set by the Quakers a year ago. Sandwiched between Will cox and Meredith, who were only five yards apart was Billy Moore of Princeton. It was a race of races, with the lead changing hands from gun to tape with kaleidoscope fre- quency.
 Despite the fact that the Yale two mile relay team and the Cornell four mile combination equalled the worlds record in their respective races, it was Meredith's spirited dash that stirred the great crowd of 20,0O0 to the great est emotional heights. Although not one in the vast throng dared hope, no matter how fondly he might have wished it. that Msredith would do the

uselessly at his fast breaking shoots. Harrigan pitched five innings for the Sachems and held the high school boys to a single hit and run, and famed Il. Then Austin went in the box, who was found for five hits, netting six runs. The Sachems put up a poor fielding
 Parker was the principal of the af- ternoon with the war club. He poled out three safeties out of three trips to the plate. Chance secured half of the Sachems' hits three out of four times at bat In the seventh the Red and White color bearers put the game awan by letting loose with the club. Singles by Brogan, Parker and w. Stanley, combined with the Sachems' wretched fielding, netted three runs.

 But to come down to real baseball. Putnam was outclassed from the start Willimantic men had all the stuff, luck favored them and-welI, Putnam lost, to 4. That's about all there is to it. For eight innings WiIlimantic kept Putnam from scoring. In the eighth Putnam got a taste and piled up four runs. But it was too late and Wilh mantle went home victorious
 Poor work in the Putnam outfeld was responsible for many of the visit ors' talhes. But Putnam offers no ex- cuses. They were beaten and know it. Pickett, Windham, kept the fans warm by giving them some clever batting exhibitions. Three hits are credited to him. Shaw, Putnam, famed 12 batters.

 Jim McQuade did not start the game for Fordham, so Columbia scored six of its seven runs off Martin, in the first inning. The other came on an error when McQuade went on the mound.
 After the first inning the game de- veloped into a pitchers battle between George Smith and McQuade. Colum- bia had men on the bases in every inning, but the Fordham twirler was particularly effective in the pinches and, aided by improved fielding, held the Blue and White in check
