JOHNSONS PLAN FOR WORLDS SERIES
American League Head Would Have Playing Season End About August 20 and Then Have Series Played-Plan
 Under Consideration By Owners = Opening Day of
 Columbia Grand Circuit-Jack Cabby With New Haven

Chicago, July 2s.-Closing the ma jor league schedules about August 20 and staging the worlds series immedi- ately thereafter, is the plan now fa- vored by President Ban Johnson of the American League to comply with Sc > retary Bakers work or fight order.
 President Johnson tonight sent a bulletin to the American League club owners asking their approval of the plan, it is understood also is under consideration by the National League.
 Closing the season August 20 would leave eleven days in which to prepare for and play the worlds series and still obey Secretary Bakers order to dsband September 1. There las been talk of continuing to September 1 or even the day following which is La bor day, a legal holiday but the American League executive is strongly opposed to this. He is in favor of the worlds series but believes it should be staged within the time limit placed by the secretary of war for the sus- pension of the sport.
 If the August closing is agreed up- on the western clubs of the American League will not start the eastern in- vasion scheduled for August IA. and the eastern clubs of the National League will not start west. The days remaining before the official shutdown September 1 probably will be employ ed in playing exhibitions and games with clubs in the sections.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS DULL.
Absence of Public Interest Character
 ized the Session.

New York, July 29-Mid- summer dullnss, accentuated by a slim attend ance of members and continued ab- stention of public interest, character ized toGay's session of the stock ex- change. War news again was emi- nently satisfactory but barren of tan gible rest Its.
 An illustration of the markets un- usual indifference to favorable devel- opnlents was furnished by Southern Pacific. which barely gained a point. although the annual report disclosed record breaking earnings and a net gain of 3S.70 per cent. over 1917.
 Other transcontinental rails and some of the grangers were strong on fair inquiry in the later dealings, Canadian Pacific, St. Paul common and preferred and Illinois Central gaining l to 1 3-4 points.
 Noteworthy movements of the day were mainly downward, General Mo- tors making an extreme decline of g points with only nominal recovery, while Sumatra Tobacco was tossed to and fro at a gross reversal of 3 1-2 points and Lorillard Tobacco lost 70 points on one transaction.
 U. s. Steel was watched for some indication of tomorrow's dividend ac- tion, but the stock rose and fell with in a fractional area, closing at a half point gain.
 Related equipments were steady to firm on very little trading, but utili- ties were relatively active, Peoples Gas, Duluth United Railways and Twin City Rapid Transit displaying strength, while Western Union and American Telephone added 1 and points re- spectively, to last weeks recess.ons. Sales were 1S5,000 shares.
 Call money was easy at the opening, but hardened to per cent. at the close, time funds showing continued | flrmness.
 Liberty bonds evinced slight heavi- ness with the general bond list, Paris 6s, however, gaining fraction Total | sales, par value, aggregated $5,275 900.
 Old U. s. bonds were unchanged on call.

JACK cLABBY PLAYED
 WITH NEW HAVEN,
Local Boy Secured One of MurIin's
 Five Hits Of Chief Bender.

Sunday afternoon at New Haven the Colonials a fast semi-pro team, beat Danny Murphys Murlins in the second game of the city championship series by the score of to 0. Chief Bender, the old Athletic, star, was on the mound for the Colonials, and was never in better form, flaming 10 of the leaguers.
 Local interest in the game aside from the fact that the losers were managed by Murphy centers around the fact that Jack Clabby. the heavy hitting outfielder of the defunct AL Norwich team, was with the Murlins. Clabby played right field for the New Haven team and had only one chance in the fielding line, which he handled perfectly. The first two times at bat he famed, but when he came up in the eighth with man on base for the first time he came through with a clean single, one of the five hits regis tered off Bender. The men following Clabby grabbed his chances to score. Other members of the Murlins includ- ed Neal Ball. the captain; Frank Woodward, pitcher, and Pjura, catcher.
 Clabby is popular ball player around town and his large following of friends are well pleased at his fine showing. He bats and throws left handed
