CHIEF MYERS BOOKED
 FOR THE DISCARD
All Indications Point to the Redskins
 Exit From Big Time.

The passing of Wheezer Dell from the National League has the fans of Brooklyn speculating over the identi- ty of the next member of the Dodgers who must place his noble sconce upon Charley Ebbets' well-worn chopping block
 Three of the 1916 champions have already traversed the beaten pathway to the minor leagues-DeIl, Appleton and Mails. Jimmy Smyth. m untried product of the brush, has also sev- cred relations. There are to be others
 And this time the grip packing, so the signs say, will be done by John Forte Meyers, the famous Missouri redsl<in. The signs in his case are quite plain. So plain, indeed. that even the untutored in baseball can read them.
 or three ask the question, Why 2" this answer alone should suffice: Miller Snyder, Mack, Wheat. Cunningham" No club in baseball in July has five catchers upon Its roster for merely playing purposes They are there to take the place of some one, and that some one, so the dope says, is the old est and most toil-worn of the lot, and he happens to be the Chieftain. Mey- CTS is thirty five, or close to it, and he has been drifting back for several years. drifting slowly, but drifting nevertheless.
 And if perchance the signs, like in the case of Dell and like in those of Appleton and Mails, should bear fruit in the case of Meyers an elimination contest will ensue among those catch CTS who remain-Miller, Mack Wheat, Snyder and Cunningham. Four catch CTS for a major league club to carry in these modern days of the pastime are one too many, and therefore one must be returned to the lower classes.

NATIONAL TENNIS ASSOCIATION
 MAKES SCHEDULE CHANGES.
First Break in National Championship
 Singles in 36 Years.

New York, July 19-The final and definite decision of the National Lawn Tennis association to replace the championship singles tournament with a patriotic singles tourney brings about the first break in the national tennis championship since 1881. While the patriotic tournament to be played at the West Side club, Forest Hills, L. l., beginning Aug. 2o Is expected to draw the entry of a number of the leading eastern and western players, there will be no title or trophy at stake. The winner will receive a certificate stat ing that he won the tourney which owing to the war replaced the cham pionship matches. The winner cannot, however, claim a leg upon the present utular bowl which has been in compe- tltion for several years.
 Under these conditions there is a break in the chain of singles champion ship competitions, the first in 36 years. During this period fl players have won the title of singles champion Of this number two veteran racquet experts divided 14 years between them-R. D. Sears and w. A. Larned having won the title seven times each. Sears holds the greater share of the honors, how ever as he won his seven champion ships and two titular trophies in sue cession. His record shows that he cap tured the cup each season from 1881 to 1887, inclusive, while Larned after winning in 1901-2 did not reappear as five year tenure of the premier tennis position.
 R. D. Wrenn comes next with four championships, but not in consecutive Whitman each won the title three times. Maurice E. Mclaughlin and R. N. Williams, 2d, have been two time winners, while H. L. Doherty, Beals Wright, W. J. Clothier. H. Ward and " M. Johnstone appear as one year

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MINOR STOCK BUSINESS.
Foreign Disturbances Furnished Bears
 New Material.

New York, July 19.-Business on the stock exchange today dwindled to mi nor proportions, the stagnauon pelns attended by further substantial depre- citation of prices Foreign events as sumed greater speculative Importance, latest disturbances in Russia and the changes in the British cabinet furn1Sh- ing the bears with new material.
 The trend of the money market was not calculated to inspire confidence ln local monetary conditions Cal loans were again renewed at 6 per cent, put long time accommodations, though ouotably easier, were less readily ne gotiated because of the increasing scarcity of available funds.
 Industrial shares owed much of their further depression to the deadlock con- corning the long deferred question Of war prices and taxes, shippings were at least moderately affected for re- lated reasons and conflicting dividend rumors helped to restrain any bull1sh activity in rails, St. Paul, however, making up part of yesterdays severe loss.
 United States Steel fell to 11s 7S. at which quotation many stop loss orders were dislodged, but closed at 119 3-4 net loss of one point kin dred stocks yielding to the same or greater extent. Motors and their sub sidiaries were heaviest of any issue as a group, Studebaker losing points at 52 1-2, it's maximum for over year
  for United States Rubber and for Kelly Springfield Tire.
 Copper reacted 1 to 3 points, Inspir- ation being extensively offered at the greatest concession and high grade equipments like General Electric and New York Air Brake lost to points.
 Tobaccos oils, sugars and utilities, including local fractions and Peoples Gas, were the objects of occasional bear attacks at to 5 point declines Final quotations were variably above lowest levels, except for coalers. Read ing displayed marked heaviness. Total sales amounted to 545,000 shares
 RubIes and Russian government bonds, despite adverse Petrograd ad- vices, rallied from yesterdays mini mum prices. Continental exchanges were una1tered.
