WAR SITUATION GLOOMY

AT the present time the war situa-
ton is more unfavorable, perhaps,
than at any other stage. The Rus
sian army is in complete route and
mutlny, leaving clear fields for the
Germans. This condition enables the
release of large forces for service on
the western front against the French
and British armies. The condition is
serious, much more SO than is real
lzed by the people Of this country.

ed States will have II half million
men in training camps in this coun-
try. The vast army of young strong
men will be taken from every occu-
patton and calling-from the ranks of
producers to that of consumers. They
must be supported by those of us who
are left behind. Where will the labor
come from to take their places? In
France and England where like con-
dition exists thousands of women,
are doing work formerly done by
men, and filling the places vacated
by the men in the field. The situation
here will be met,-just how remains
to be seen. The men called in this
present draft will not be ordered to
camp until sometime in September,
after most of the fall crops are saw

the fact that he Is ready to throw in | the sponge and dispose of his hold | ings before another season rolls | around. Consequently there IS an op- moter to take the club off Collins hands and make it a moneygetter a year hence. That is, if he can.
 The opinion has been prevalent in sporting circles that Collins reaped a barrel of dough through his baseball venture. Those not thoroughly famil jar with conditions have enter ! tained the idea that Collins could not help but derive a big financial har- vest by reason Of a pennant winner.
 But the, real truth is that Collins did not make money and furthernhore he had a desperate struggle to make ends meet. Collins fate is one of the real tragedies of New Have base ball. .f'-' ft-- According to reliable reports from
 other Eastern league cities, there was
 not a single club which managed to
 wind up the season a few dollars to
 the good. Such cities as Bridgeport.
 Lawrence, New London and Portland
 ball but failed to get any returns
 Hartford and Springfield lost heav-
 fly while Worcester got no better
 than an even break. Poor weather and the heavy expenses entailed in
 railroad fa.es and hotel rent ate up
 a whole lot of. money which came through the box office.
 The failure of the Eastern league
 stands out as another victory for Jim
 O'Rourke. ORourke maintained
 right along that the merging of the Eastern and New England leagues would eventually spell disaster and now the magnates are back in the same fix they were two years ago. During the past season the fans have been treated to the best baseball in several years, but the magnates can not be expected to allow things to run along if they are no. to receive some return for their investment.
 The principal reason advanced for New Haveh's failure is the refusal of the authorities to allow Sunday baseball. Had Owner Collins been granted the privilege of staging Sun day games during the past season | there would be more sunshine than gloom at local baseball headquarters | today. Owner Collins also received an unfortunate break from the | weatherman. especially during the | closing days of the season. His only | ray of hope now Is to have a player l

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS BUOYANT.
Advance in Prices Ranged From One
 to Three Points.

New York, Sept. IA broad and vigorous upturn in stocks today offset in part the losses sustained in the last few days. At the top prices ther< was a representative showing of advances ranging from one to three points. all though these gains were scaled down on late realizing the net result was a material improvement of position. To- tai sales were 415, 900 shares.
 The advance was accompanied by a revival of bullish- interest, and out side buying increased considerably. There was some feeling that the bears had over-reached their recent at tacks on speculative favorites, and the scarcity of these stocks forced the shorts to raise. their bids rapidly to meet their requirements. Liquida- tion of investment shares was sus- pended and issues which have devel- oped marked weakness recently were prominent in the rise.
 The upward swing was facilitated by the announcement from Petrograd that the insurrectionary movement government. In the exchange mar ket rubles responded strongly. The rate was advanced to r cents, as compared with the recent low record of II IA.
 In the railroad list New Haven, con- spicuously heavy recently, was sold at an advance of more than two points. Reading, Delaware and Hud- son, St. Paul, Canadian Pacific and other weak features were in good de- mand at higher prices. In the i'm dustrfa1 section there was an active inquiry for the coppers, steels, oils, equipments and shipping shar- es.
 A decidedly better tone prevailed in the bond market Active issues av- eraged higher, although the bid and asked quotations for some of the. less prominerS liens continued to be wide apart. Liberty bonds reflected brisk demand, with large trans actions at par after earlier sales at 99.94. Total sales of bonds (par value) $3,550, 900.

FEW CHANGES IN
 1917 FOOTBALL RULES
Most Important Will Eliminate Con. versaticn Between Substitute ane Teammates,

Minor in character are the few changes in the football rules this year, l and they may be told in a few para graphs. Perhaps the most important is one that prevents Gn incoming sub stitute from communicating with any of his team on the field until after the first play This is intended to bar as much as possible the advice of a coach while tho teams are in play and when
 the situation is a critical one for either
 side. The new rule, however, has it's
 exception, for If the substitute replaces
 1he quarterback he is permitted to give
 his signal. Interference with a man
 attempt to catch a forward pass has
 been changed to the loss Of the ball to the offended side at the spot of the foul. This replaces the penalty which cost the offending side a certain dis
 tance toward its own goal line. The penalties for running into or roughing the kicker are now measured from the spot where the ball was put in play A place kick has been more clearly defined. It must be made by kicking the ball from its posi- ion when resting on. the ground A player may scrape up the earth but may not make use of artificial tees. On kick-offr and free kicks not made from scrimmage the players may be in motion in any di- rection, provided they are on-side when the ball is kicked
 Provision Is made that an uncom- pleted pass does not constitute a foul, which makes it possible to decline any penalty.
