there were only score Of delegates on
the floor. The platfrm was almost de-

and carpenters were putting the finishing
touches on the hall. The chairs for the

delegates and spectators being much more
congested than at either of the Chicago

delegates soon removed their coats. At

At no time since Adam and Eve

The consumer has always feared
that the producer would not supply

Mr.. Bigelow controls the situation
in Worcester. but he doesn't know

Zeller doesn't know whether or not
he has right to figure Worcester in
on his circuit.
Through d well informed source it
became known Tuesday that William
E. Carey had a chance to secure an
option on the Hampden park grounds
several days ago, but passed it up.
Zeller has already secured an option
on the old park When asked about it
Mr.. Carey did not deny the story. 1t
is understood that Mr.. Carey felt if he
obtained the lease, the charge would
be made that he was trying to block
baseball in Springfield for his own
interests, and that would not listen
very well to the investigation commit
tee of the National association. Fur
Their, it is stated he would prefer to go

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS FEvERIsH.
Anxiety Over Outcome of international
Affairs Still Apparent.

New York, Jan. 5.-The salient fea-
ture of today's feveriSh market was
its sturdy resistance to pressure. Sell
ing for both accounts was persistent
liquidation converging about numerous
specialties, while investment shares
were the target Of bearish aggressions
Lowest prices were made by some OF
the potential leaders, notably United
States Steel, In the final hour, but
losses were comparatively moderate in
that class.
Sentiment among professional trad
ers suggested greater anxiety concern
ing the outcome of international af-
fairs now under official discussion, but
the conservative element, as represent
ed by substantial bank interests, ex
pressed its belief in a satisfactory adj
justment. There were unconfrmed
rIlHnors dealing with the attitude OF
local financial institutions towards in
dustrial securities, which was height
ened by yesterdays sudden rise in call
money to per cent. the highest rate
for this accommodation in over a year.
At the active opening of the market
gains OF one to three points were made
by various issues, chiefly coppers,
Lackawanna Steel and some of the less
active specialties. Rails in general
rose fractionally, but New York Cen
trial.. after wavering at the outset,
promptly recovered it's quarterly divi-
dend of 1 IA per cent.
Heavier offerings of special descrip-
tons, notably oils and automobile is
sues, gave the market another setback
during the late session. Prices con-
tinued to sag, almost the only excep-
ton being Lackawanna Steel, which
made an extreme advance of 8 rs
points to IS 7-8 in connection with
more or less familiar rumors of a deal.
Coppers as a group were more steady
than any other division Of the list,
those issues deriving additional
strength from further large orders for
the metal for home and foreign con-
sumption. Total sales of stocks ag-
gregateG 100000 shares.
Foreign exchange was again subjected
to the same conditions and influences
which recently contributed to that err
ratio market. Remittances to Germany
made the new low record of IA IL,
and demand sterling added to it's re-
cent advance at Ats IL. Continental
rates were more variable except Rus

0coNNoR APPLIES FOR
SPRINGFIELD FRANCHISE
Old Pirate Backstop Thinks He Can
Make Satisfactory Arrangements.

Paddy O'Connor, the old Pony catch
err has applied, for the Springfield
franchise in the Eastern association,
which means that if the Eastern asso-
citation is successful in organizing its
circuit for the coming season, he will
get piece of baseball property that
under ordinary conditions is worth
thousands Of dollars. O'Connor was
offered the chance by Jack Zeller, who
has been a committee of one since the
December meeting in New York of the
investigating committee of the Nation
al association, in getting together a
circuit by January II. The offer has
been in O'Connor's hands for several
days.
Before making known his decision
O'Connor went to William e. Carey,
holder of the forfeited Springfield
franchise, and told him frankly he
wouldn't consider putting in an appli-
cation if Carey wanted it. He said he
would not be the man to stand in
Carey's way, but if Carey wanted to
OConnor would not consider the prop
osition for minute. When Mr.. Carey
declared he was just as firmly con-
WINGED as ever that the merger prop
osition was the only sound PROPOSE
ton for baseball in his section, O'Con-
nor declared he would go ahead, and
later through q third party announced
his application for the franchise.
'OConnor's home is in Windsor
Locks, Conn, and every winter he
usually is employed in Springfield. 1t
was his fine backstopping several years
ago that earned him promotion to the
Pittsburgh club of the National league
He stayed with the Pirates long
enough for them to win the National
league championship and worlds title
In 1909. He was turned over to the
Kansas City club of the American as
ISOLATION and last spring jumped to
the Pittsburgh club of the Federal
year contract. Two years of this con-
tract have yet to run, but since the
declaration of peace in the baseball
world, O'Connor doesn't know lust
where he is at. However, he feels
he will be able to make satisfactory
arrangements if the Eastern associa-
ton operates.
O'Connor in any way for taking up the
chance to secure franchise in SPRING
field. 81 am unable to see YET" he
declared, that there is anything but
the merger in New England. The pub
lie has been clamoring for the merger,
the press has been boosting it, and you
can't convince me, now that the op-
portunity is at hand. that the public
doesn't want it. 1 still have hopes,
and honestly believe that we will get
justice in baseball, and 1 feel conf
dent that the merger will succeed"
Judging from the enigmatical reply
received by Jack Zeller from Secre-
tary Farrell of the National associa-
ton, any territory outside of the
Eastern association is open to all and
no favors asked. Zeller wired Farrell
asking if he had the right to receive
an application for a franchise from

ly and it is an interesting fact that
these good friends and co-workers for
tennis were the rival quarterbacks in
the last Harvard Tale football game
played at Hampden park, Springfield.
That was in the fall of 1894 and this
game caused the break in athletic re-
lations between the two universities
which lasted for several years.
Fred Ruben, who has followed the
custom of the late Jim Sullivan in
picking a so-called All-American ath-
letic team, pays Hannes Kolehmainen,
the wonderful Finn runner, great
honor by selecting him as the premier
runner over the five mile, ten mile
and cross country distances. 1t might
be added that such a selection could
not be very well overlooked. AS a
matter of fact, Kolehmainen has
shown himself to be the greatest dis
lance runner from the two to ten
mile marks since the days of Al
Shrubb.
