NEW YORK. Dec l5.--After a ses- sion lasting four days the National League club owners ended their annual meeting here tonight. During the day President Dreyfuss of the Pittsburg club endeavored to get his brother club magnates to agree to a reorsaniza- ton of the national commission. He based his plea for the proposed change on the outcome of the Sisler case. and claimed that the commission should be made nou- partisan by appointing some person unidentified with baseball as chairman in place of Garry Hermann of Cincinnati. Just how this could be donc or who he thought might prove 10 be a capable outsider for the po- Stiou was not learned from the Pitts burg club owners remarks

COOMRS READY FOR FRAY.
Iron Man Confident Brooklyn Will
 Make Great Showing.

Jack Coombs is one of the brainiest pitchers of the game. Because of his long experience in the American league before Robinson gave him a chance to make a real comeback with the Robins his views are doubly interesting. Colby Jac kwas pressed to eelucidate and after a great deal of coaxing did so.
 Just remember this," said the for mer iron man of Connie Mack, who beat the Cubs almost single handed in the 1910 series, nobody can tell how any player is going to act when he goes into his first worlds series.
 "Only in worlds series experience have the Red Sox any advantage over us that l can see. I really look for Brooklyn to play quite as we'll in the more important series as they have played during several crises of our championship. That, I think, will be good enough to beat Boston for the long end of the prize money.
 This Brooklyn club contrary to some views of the out of town critics, is as game as any team with which I have associated. I do not think the team as a whole will suffer the slight est nervousness. A great deal of course, always depends on the batteries of the first game. Chief Meyers is a catcher who has been through three worlds championships. Maruuard was with the Indian in all of these, and the pair did valiant service. I'll be reday any time WIlhert Robinson calls upon me. Personally I can guarantee that I'll not suffer from the f1dgets.''

WORLDS SERIES OPEN TODAY

 Interest in Games.
GlMlHs1'l1 SpnaER

Boston. Oct. 6.-This ci ty. the home of winning worlds series baseball teams, awaits the opening of the 1916 clash tomorrow between the Brooklyn Nationals and the Boston Americans with the calm confidence that comes from faith in it's playing representa- tives and the unbroken string of vic- tories in past contests.
 Brooklyn Club Optimistic.
 The optimism and fighting spirit that the Brooklyn club and it's accompany town tonight added interest to the impending struggle for the premier honors of the diamond without shaking in the least the faith of the local fans that the Red Sox would triumph over the invading team from Greater New York.
 Betting 10 to on the Red Sox
 This confidence is reflected in score of ways and in every portion of the city as well as throughout New Eng land. In baseball debate and wager ing its crops out time and time again until it would appear as though there was in all of this section one Amer ican League rooter who even consid- cred the possibility of defeat While the betting tonight is 10 to ' on the Red Sox with but little Brooklyn money in sight, the average supporter of the Boston Americans, despite his confidence, is far from predicting a walkover for the winners of the American League race.
 Stiff Battle Looked For.

 Diversity of Dealings.

New York, Oct 6.-Rumors of a re- newal of peace negotiations, which seemed to receive credence in high fi- nancial quarters, were effective in de- pressing prices in the stock markets later dealings today. after much pre- vious uncertainty and hesitation. Val ues declined ?, 3 and even points from top levels of the forenoon, the selling being the most precipitate of any recent session, with some nominal rallies at the close. Total transactions were 1,370,000 shares, of which 30 per cent. occurred in the first hour.
 Prior to the final period the list showed numerous cross currents, for greater activity in minor rails and a few industrials of recent prominence, such as the sugar group, Central Lea ther and American Hide and Leather preferred, fertilizers and chemically, zinc shares and rubber stocks.
 In fact, the most interesting devel- opments, apart from the sharp rever- sal of the flag end of the session, was the extraordinary diversity of the dealings. More than 250 different stocks were traded in during the first half hour, this number being consid- erably augmented later and establish@ ing a record for many years.
 Extreme gains in secondary rails and some of the specialties referred to ranged from 9 to f points. with Dem yer ana 1tlO OTIdIlue piG16II6u, WSol- ern Maryland preferred, Chicago and Alton, Chicago Great Western, Wa bashes and Kansas City Southern pre- ferred the most conspicuous features.
 New maximums were supplied by Central Leather at S3 3-4 and Ameri- can Beet at par. but other stocks of that class and some of the utilities at tained highest quotations of the past year, only to be sacrificed in the sweep of the last sixty minutes.
 Those who regard the foreign eX- change market as an infaIlible baro- meter of peace overtures extracted lit tie comfort from that quarter. Ger man remittances, which should strengthen at the first signs of peace, were slightly heavier and francs also shaded, with no change in rates to London.
 Bonds were strong most of the day, but eased with stocks towards the end. Total sales (par value) were $6,625O0O.

INTERSECTIONAL FOOTBALL
 CONTESTS TODAY.
Five Southern Varsity EIevens Will
 Battle on Eastern Gridrons.

New York, Oct. 6.-Intersectional contests will be the feature of eastern football games to be played tonor- row, Five of the leading southern university elevens will appear upon varsity gridirons in this section to test their prowess against eastern teams. The University of Virginia will play Yale, over which it triumph ed by a 10 to 0 score last year. Prince ton will have North Carolina as an meets Washington and Jefferson; and Western Maryland faces F'ordham while the Army will be entertaining the Washington and Lee University. The west will also be represented, for Ohio University will oppose Syracuse in the stadium of the latter university.
 All the contests, together with sev- eral others between eastern teams, promise to develop play rather more advanced than is usual at this period of the football season. The records of the invading southern and western elevens last year show great scoring power and strong defensive strength and as they have retained a majority of the 1915 veterans, it is expected that the home combinations will be forced to uncover something more than prac- tice football if they are to hold their own, or win from the visiting elevens Among the more important east vs. east games. Harvard will meet Tufts: Pennsylvania will play Franklin and Marshall; Navy forces Georgetown; :; Colgate tackles Maine; Brown has Trinity as opponent; Williams oppos- es Union; Columbia lines up against Hamilton: Penn State meets Bucknel and Lafayette plays Swathmore.
 Last fall Georgetown defeated the Navy, Brown and Trinity playerd a no-score tie and Union defeated Will jams. The contests in a majority of the other games were exceedingly close

 Interest in Series is Nationwide
 The series which opens at Braves Field tomorrow is far from being, a local or even a sectional affair, how everever, from the standpoint of in- terest. Notwithstanding that the con tending teams are eastern clubs, the interest in the coming struggle for the worlds championship is national and this is clearly demonstrated by the gathering of the spectators for the two games that will be played here tomorrow and Monday, weather per mitting. Whit 1t is but natural that the majority of the fans should hail from New England and New York, the fact remains that hundreds of base ball enthusiasts from all parts of the country are here tonight awaiting the umpire's call of Play ball." to set going the machinery of the 1916 worlds series.
