FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS IRREGULAR.

New York, Oct. S.-Irregu!ar strength, much of which was dissi- pated in the final hour, attended the moderate volume of operations on the stock exchange today, dealings fall ing to the smallest total of any full session in the past fortnight.
 The comparative dullness was at tributed mainly to an announcement made early in the day of President Wilson's intention to make public a statement dealing with the peace pro- posals of the Central Allies after the markets close.
 Interest concentrated to an unusual degree in shippings. trading in Marine Preferred at an extreme gain of 1-2 points far exceeding the inquiry for any other issue. Marine Common and the six per cent. bonds also were strong, toreshadowing completion of the long deferred deal with British interests.
 War shares rallied very generally during the morning from their recent heaviness, all the leading steels and equipments recording gains of one to two points, with reverse movements in some of the peace" issues, notably oils, the latter breaking sharply to- ward the end.
  lated utilities to higher levels, but coppers were irregular on intimations of adverse trade conditions. Inactive specialties developed an uncertain trend and rails ignored the excellent crop report. which surpassed recent forecasts. Sales were 1000 shares. Impending developments abroad ac- counted for renewed weakness in ex- change to neutral countries, Spanish remittances establishing a new mini mum.
 | Dealings in bonds were large, but confusing, Liberty 1-2's. reacting to par while internationals were firm | French government 1-2's mounting to the years record quotation at 101 3-4. Total sales (par vaIue) aggre- gated $10, GOO.
 Old U. S. bonds were unchanged or call.

assigned to Newport.
 The work has been well done and so hard and strenuous that Walter Camp, chairman of the athletic commission on training camp activl- ties has just given the old Yale athlete and associate whc is well known to the athletic world. He is Fred Walker who was ono of the pitchers on the Brooklyn Superbas during the season of 1913 and pitch ed for New Haven during the past in an advisory capacitl, the actual work being done by Walker.
 No better man could be found as a substitute for Dr. Bull. Walker is one of the best all around ath- letes who has ever played profes- >ional ball. Possibly with the ex- ception of Jim Thorpe. no man has ever been seen on a major league diamond who is better at all forms of athletics. than the new trainer at Newport. Walker is a giant in strength and is exceedingly proud of the fact that from being a sickly child he has built himself up into one of the best examples of physi- cal manhood ever seen in the United States. Athletics is a hobby with " dlhel anu lie IS past HIdoteA VI al games as well as belng an excep- tionally clever gymnast.

"BIG TEN" TO OPEN
 SEASON NOV. {

Chicago, Oct S.-Football schedules of the Big Ten" were completely re- vised at a special meting of the coaches and athletic directors here today to conform with the war de- partment ruling limiting the teams to forty eight hour trips next month. All gaines previously scheduled for October were cancelled; so the western conference championship season will be entirely confined to November.
 The season will open on November 2nd and close on November 30. the Saturday following Thanksgiving. in- stead of the preceding Saturday. as has been the conference rule. None of the coaches attempted to schedule Thanksgiving Day games with con- ference elevens, but as holiday foot ball always has been a big attraction in the middle westt some of the coach es undoubtedly will arrange games with service elevens.
 It will the first time since 1905 that Thanksgiving Day football will be served followers of the sport by the western conference.

SPORTING NOTES.

Spanish flu" is doing as much to put football out of business among the college teams as in the war. Among the latest victims is Coach Robert C.. Folwell of the U. of P team.
 We presume the kaiser never has seen a college town rough house after a big football game. If he has not, he will quit the war business when he learns that 10000 college students have enrolled in the army.-EXchange

FIX EASTERN STAR
MADE DIRECTOR

mAOG DIA EO Oh
 Probably no other naval training station has been more in the lime light on account of its athletics than the one at Newport, R. l. Last fall Cupid Black who is now an en- sign in the navy, built up a foot ball team at Newport that was the talf of the country. Tlthough de- cidedly smaller than either Pelham Bay or Great Lakes, the Newport station has been more than able to hold it's own in athletics.
 A great deal of credit is due to the hard work of Dr. William T. Bull, the old Yale football star, who was one of the first men in the country to offer to look after the physical end of naval training camps. Dr. Bull was in charge at Newport even before the commits sion on trainging camp activities was formed. Although a very busy man the old time Yale star has devoted all his time, since the country has gone to war to building up the boys
