MAJOR BATTLES
FOR NEXT YEAR
If Peace Note Is Signed by
January, Fans Can Ex-
pect Game in 1919.

With the first harbingers of pro-
spective world peace professional
baseball stirs itself There has been
an undercurrent of hope in certain
quarters of both major leagues ever
since Secretary of War Bakers rul-
ing cut short the 1918 campaign a
month before the scheduled close
that 1t would be folly not to operate
in some fashion in 1919.
Those who held this opinion de-
clared that to cease operations en-
tirely would mean the undermining of
the game indefinitely. They held that
the clientele of the national pastime
would be attracted to other sports,
amusements and reCreations; in 1.
word. that the patrons of the steel
and concrete edifice would forget their
first love.
Opinion on the point seemed clear
ly divided. The majority of the
American League. headed by Ban
johnson. was set upon a complete
shutdown until the end of the war. A
certain element of the National
League and a few owners of the
American League as well were hope
full that their parks might be put to
use by a high grade of semi-profes-
Sunday games. This plan was frowned
upon by Johnson. by c. A. Comiskey
and other prominent American League
club owners, Jim Dunn. of Cleveland,
included.
Within the last several weeks each
succeeding day apparently has has
tened that erstwhile remote day OF
peace and good will. 1t is not be-
yond per cent of the total to be
raised by the realm of possibility or
proba bility that long before the time
for spring training arrives hOstilities
in Europe will have ceased. But even
that fact is no guarantee that base
ball can come back to the Oldtime
standard as early as 1919.
Many of the greatest stars Of the
game are in olive drab in France or
in the naval service. Another great
number are engaged in the ship
building industry. But in any event
it is not likely that Uncle Sam will
relax his vigilance until satisfactory
guarantees have been given by the
enemy And it will take some time
for suCE an arrangement. If the
war were to end tomorrow. it is
doubtful if any of the player-sol-
diers in France would be available
for ma jOr league play next Aprn
Favoritism is a word not tolerated
in military or naval circles.
However, if the war should end
this year there is no doubt that both
major leagues would be in the field
next spring. Rut it is question
that well may await the present
delicate issue. Even as late as the
customary schedule meetings next
February it will be time to decide
the fate of baseball for 1912. There
seems no occasion for the furry OF
expectancy on the part of promoters
al this particular time.

STOCK MARKET
{ FLUCTUATES
Brokers Hold on to Stock
Despite All Peace
y Rumors.
BY BROADAN WALL.

New York, Nov. S.-Stocks were
irregular at the close today but
many of them had rather violent
fluctuations in the course of the
day. Among the most active ones
were Mexican Petroleum. Southern
Pacific. Baldwin. the tobacco shares
and Wilson Packing Company stock.
Stocks were in greater demand
than the actual transactions indi-
Gated for many brokers were COM
PEELED to refuse orders because by
taking them they would have ex-
oeeded the limits fixed for them by
the stock exchange governors which
require all brokers to stay below
the volume of business on their
books on September l6.

taking them they would have ex-
oeeded the limits fixed for them by
the stock exchange governors which
require all brokers to stay below
the volume of business on their
books on September 16.
Return to Loan Basis.
More important than actual prices
is the money situation that has de-
veloped out of the money committee
order to brokers to return to the
loan basis of September 16. This
order hurts houses that happened
to be acting cOnservatively on Sep
tember Is. but rewards those houses
which were on that day exceeding
their usual limits. Because of this.
there is much complaint and efforts
are being made to have the ex-
change modify the order.
Strength of Wilson stock is based
on belief that the company will
do some financing soon. Many
rumors have been current. but it can
be said that no one plan has been
adopted yet.
Buying of Southern Pacific the last
few days has been by professionals
who propose to celebrate what they
expect to be a favorable decision by
the Supreme Court of Mexico in re-
gard TO the tax cases affecting oil
lands. They started to do this in
Mexican Petroleum. but the stock was
too valuable and ran away from
them Besides there is not enough
of it available for a good trading
market. and a corner might easily
develop. With Southern Pacific there
is no danger OF corner. and the in
trinsic value of the stock is such as
to justify considerable market ac-
tivity.
Attention is directed to American
Can. which has not at any time cele-
hrated its war profits i'm the market.
This COMPANY has put away such
liberal reserves that II might easily
begin dividends on the common stock
next year even though 50 per cent
OF its war profits must be paid to
the government.
In connection with the advance OF
American Sumatra and Tobacco
Products there is renewal Of the
merger talk.
The Washington herald., 1918-11-09
Brokers Hold Back stock.

Careful market observers do not
believe the price fluctuations Of the
last two days represent the real pub
lie sentiments regarding peace. The
reason is that so many well-informed
bankers knew early on Thursday
afternoon that the armistiCe had not
been signed. and they therefore held
back many stocks that would have
gone skyrocketing If there had been
an official announcement In addi-
ton to this there is the restrictive
policy in regard to loans which COM
pels most OF the high-grade houses
TO refuse business except for cash.
because they have reached the limit
allow ed for their loans. Most Of the
activity has been in houses where
professional traders were willing to
sell one set of stocks in order to get
money for purchases I'm other issues.
thus financing themselves. The real
test of the market will come when
President Wilson announces the end
of the war. and then il is believed
that the money committee will find
itself facing tremendous problem.
