FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS sTEArIt.

New York. Sept. 23.-The gradual advance in prices which began in the stock market at the termination of the liquidation caused by the restric- ton of loans, was resumed today at the point where, it left off on Satur- day
 Opening with quotations fractional ly higher, the market responded to steady buying short covering and stimulating war news. Except for oc- casional profit taking around mid day and a brief period in the final hour, the progress was maintained through out the day. and the closing was strong with a number of substantial gains.
 The ready absorption of the stocks made available through the profit talk ing was an indication of the markets strength. the recessions furnishing only new level from which to start the upward movement again. The only notable exception in the for ward trend was the weakness of American Sumatra Tobacco, which declined two points.
 The investment railroads made i'm portant gains, this strength beir< at- tributed to the published indications that the railroad administration would take over the snort line roadS unuer contracts which would permit rate increases, '. s.

FOOTBALL STATUS
 IN CHAOTIC STATE

New York, Sept. 23.lWith the open ing of the eastern college football sea- son less than a week away, conditions in the gridiron sport are in chaotic state. Although the status of the sport was adjusted to wartime rating earlier in the year. the recent orders placing the entire student bodies of the vari- ous institutions under military control and training have complicated the situation. At the present time it would appear as though the schedules and training arrangements would have to be completely overhauled in order to meet the new requirements.
 According. to the general under standing of the instructions issued by the war department, football practice and play must not be allowed to in terfere with the military training of the students and the final word in such matters will rest with the mili- tary officer in charge of the training at the individual colleges or uniyerHi- ties. Such being the case, it can be readily seen that the time allowed for practice and the playing of games is certain to be greatly curtailed as com pared with the periods devoted to the sport in normal times.
 It is probable that not much more lIldIl OHe IlOuI per udy CdH D6 to football practice. Normally this players into condition for stiff compe- tition, but it is expected that the ad dition of military training, with its rigorous physical conditioning, will greatly improve the bodily develop ment of all candidates for the team. If this should prove to be correct, those in charge of the coaching will be able to devote Virtually all of the practice periods to instruction in the. finer points of individual and team play and on this basis should be able to place fairly efficient elevens upon the field
 All institutions will be upon an equal footing, so far as practice time is concerned, which will greatly simplify matters. Somewhat similar conditions have prevailed at the United States naval and military academies for some years, and no follower of the game will deny that the army and navy have been represented by high class foot ball eievens both from a physical and technical standpoint.
 The time allotted to the actual con- petition each week is. however, a more serious matter. The army and navy teams never leave the academy grounds except for the annual meet ing on a neutral field. All opponents journey to Annapolis or West Point for play and this also holds true in the case of nearly all of the canton ment elevens. Such a condition is en- tirely out of the question at the vari-
 ous colleges. If all were obliged to play home games entirely the sched- l ules would go to pieces over night. In many cases in past years the squads have been permitted leaves of absence from the campus of several days in order to make trips to dis tant gridirons. This was particularly

true of all intersectional games which involved railroad journeys of many hundred miles. A number of these are to be found upon the present seasons schedules and they appear certain to be cancelled. In a majority of games the visiting team can probably make the round trip in "A hours, but longer periods of absence are likely to be few and far between.
 Allowing teams a leave of A hours from actual scholastic or military du- ties at the week end would permit the playing of most of the games already scheduled by the majority of the east ern college elevens. Games that re- quire a longer period away from the institution will probably have to be abandoned Owing to the many eleventh hour changes in the football plans and schedules it will not be as difficult to fill in such open dates as would at first appear. Until the mili- tary officers, football managers and coaches have time to discuss the sit uation, however, little if any progress in readjusting schedules is to be ex- pected-

of the state, most of which would be classed as essential. There. ih one feature of the building record which is very conspicuous just now and that is the geat number of small garages which are being built. It is not unreasonable to huppose that considerable portion of the high wages now being paid to thousands of men is finding its way into automobiles. During the week in the cities of New Haven, Bridgeport, Hartford, Waterbury, New Britain, Stamford. Stratford, Hamden and Springfield, Mass, permits were issued to the number of 14S, which compares with IFS year ago and 25S in 1916 The cost fo the buildingh for which permits were issued for the week was $396.39O, against s338 573 last year and $607 AT in 1916.
 A number of contracts have been given out during the week for new construction, among them being a store and tenement block in Bridge port, roundhouse in Bridgeport, sewer system in Torrington, large COW barn in Litchfield, factory ad- ditions in Waterbury, restaurant in New Haven. storage building in Hartford, garages in New Haven, Bridgeport, Waterbury, Hartford, and Torrington. boiler house in

ANOTHER VICTORY
 FOR THE MARINES

The baseball season came to close at the submarine base Thursday with another victory for the Marines. The sea soldiers won one penant this year in a league of 12 teams, allof which were from the base.
 Last month the Y. M c. A started two new leagues, the winners of which were to play a post season series of three games for silver cup to be do- mated by A. G. Spalding.
 One league was composed of eight teams which played all games at 4.30 p. m. and the other was made up of four teams which played at 2.30 clock. The Marines copped first place in the twilight league ;ss did the Base Cooks in the afternoon league.
 Mir. Benin. of the local Y M. c. A, then arranged the series between the winners. The first game was played Tuesday and won by the devil dogs by the score of TO. Mathis was in rare form and allowed the Cooks two hits and was never in danger. A fast double play pulled off by Poseley, Pyfer and Jennings, in the Elird in ming killed the only chance the Cooks ever had of scoring. The second game was played Thursday and was also gathered by the Marines by the score of 9-4
 In this game Lyons had the Cooks under his thumb at all stages of play and was given perfect support by his teammates. The fielding of Breen and Jennings and perfect throw by Mathis which nipped a runner at the plate were features of the game.
 The scores:

Red Cross rrapshooting Tour.

There has been a great deal of fa- vorable comment lately over the pro posed tour of trapshooters in the in- terests of the American Red Cross.
 The idea for the tour as suggested by the writer to the most progressive member of the Interstate Ira pshooting association was that team of profes- sional trapshooters make tour of the United States and engage in exhibition matches against local amateur trap shooters in the principal cities
 This idea may be enlarged upon. For instance:
 Two teams of professionals, five to a team, might tour the country and op- pose each other in the principal cities. One of these teams could be chosen from the western trapshots and the other from the eastern field
 Or a team of eastern professionals could tour the eastern and middle

CHICAGO ATHLETE BEATS THE FIELD

Great Lakes H., Sept. 2S.-In re- markable test of endurance, Avery Brundage, a veteran star of the Chi cago Athletic Association, won the all- around championship, the closing event of the three-day National A. A. U. outdoor track and field carnival at the Great Lakes naval station. He had won premier honors in the nation al games at Newark in 1916 and at Birmingham. Ala, in 1914. Today's victory ended his unusual athletic career he declared he would never compete again.
 Brusdages triumph was achieved by stamina and versatility. He did not win as many ffrsts as B. J. Thompson, a cadet in the Royal Air Force of Toronto, Canada, but finished well up among the leaders in the ten events. He won the shot put and ffty-six pound and scored a dead heat in the mile walk.
 Nine men competed in the gruelling seven-hour test and all finished but they were exhausted at the end. Brundage scored s, 70S points on the basis of possible 10000. J. Hellum, a Norwegian athlete representing the Pastine A c. of New York, was sec ond with 6,419 points, although he did not win a single individual contest
 Thompson, who won four individual events, was third, with 5,1S2 points. Brundage's well-rounded performance is shown by his record for the ten events of two f1rsts. a dead heat, two seconds. a triple tie for second, one third, a quadruple tie for third, a fifth and avictory in one of three heats in which the. 1ocyard dash was run off.
 The all-around competition divided attention with the national relay championship, which resulted in fea- ture brushes in all five races, all though none went to record time.

 Or two teams-one of professionals and one of amateurs-m might be chosen to tour the principal cities as oppo- nents. There are number of wealthy amateur trapshots who would no doubt like to engage in such a tour with the Red Cross as the beneficiary. Any of these schemes we'll advertised would attract thousands of persons in every city in which the teams would shoot.
