SATURDAYS MARKET.

New York, Aug 24.-Buying for both accounts including extensive covering of short contracts was wit messed in today's broad and active stock market, some leaders register ing maximum quotations of the year.
 The remarkable change of senti- ment was caused as the further de- velopment, such as the further sweep of the allied forces in the western war arena and signs of cas- fer money as indicated by the inten- lend call money on high grade col lateral at rate of discount fixed by the local Federal Reserve bank.
 Foremost features of two hour ses- sion, in which the turnover or 325,- O00 shares far exceeded any full day of the week were Canadian Pacific which made an extreme advance of eight points, retaining all but the smallest factions, and U. s.

 cratic country, he thinks is fast be coming converted to militarism., Like Russia and. China, she has broken away from the past and her future is pos

TROUBLE OVER WORLDS SERIES DATES

Boston, Aug. 25.-The Boston Amer ican League club will refuse to abide by the schedule arrangements for the world series as given out, by President Ban B. Johnson of the American League in Chicago on Saturday, Pres ident H. H. FTazee. of the Boston team, the league leaders, announced tonight. President Frazee said the proposal to play the first three gales in Chicago was unfair to the Boston team. He suggested as an ideal ar rangement the first two games, We'd nesday and Thursday, September 4 and 5, in Boston, and the next two on Saturday and Sunday September ' and 8, in Chicago. He did not refer to the other games of the series, if any are required.
 If the Boston club wins the Ameri- can League pennant I will refuse to abide by the schedule arrangements for the worlds series as given out by President Johnson in Chicago on Sat urday,n MT. Frazee said. Such a schedule is not only very unfair to the Boston club, but it is an insult to Bos- ton fans and to the baseball town in the American League.
 While it has been the custom for the contending owners to toss a coin to de- eide upon the place of the opening of the series, I do not mind waiving that formality and playing the first two games in Chicago and then coming to Boston for two games. But 1 abso- lute1y opposed to playing three games in Chicago and then as President Johnson says. playing the remaining games if any (whatever that meansl in Boston,
 The ideal arrangement would be to play the first two games on Wednes- l day and Thursday in Boston and then | the next two Saturday and Sunday, in | Chicago. The schedule as given out by l MT. Johnson will necessitate the pass | ing up of both the Saturday and 1 Sunday dates which I think is a big mistake. The series should so be ar ranged that each club shall have an equal chance to win. The expense of an extra trip between the two cities should not be considered at all. There is absolutely no reason for curtailing i the series.
 | Secretary of War Baker has given l hils official sanction to the affair and l the clubs will have until September 15 in which to play the regulation number of games.
 1 T am quite in sympathy with al the other plans outlined by MT. JOnn- son and 1 look for a series up to the standard, both in general excellence of play and in popular interest"
