New York, Nov. 6-Po!isics wielded far more influence over todGy's stock market than any other factor, even the foreign situation being rclesated to the background. Although the re- suit of the congressional elections re- m9iued in d1ubt, much of the buying was attributed to investment sources.
 This was evidenced less by the strength of stocks than hy the de mand for bonds of various descrip lions and grades, many of which reg istered highest quotations of the past year or two.

 Quite a number of suggestions for the betterment of trapshooting will be brought up. An effort will be made to get the association to adopt class shooting, also devise some equitable handicap system. Many systems have been tried, but no system has been uncovered that pleases every one. It isn't likely that such system will be unearthed, but there is a Likelihood that improvement can be made on existing conditions.
 The Interstate Trapshooting Asso- citation advocated year ago the cut ting down of trapshooting programs and it is likely they will ask the clubs l to still further decrease the number of targets thrown in 1919 in order tc conserve the supply of lead.
 At the meeting last year a rule was adopted which goes into effect on January l, 1919, that the 1 1-S-ounce load be the standard load for target shooting in registered competition.

 The war will change many things. One of the changes will take men from the office to enjoy outdoor pas times more, and another idea we have is that not so many men will re- main caged in office buildings as in the past. This is the time for the trapshooting organization to make it's plans for the future.
 It isn't possible to erect a rifle range in the city limits, but it is pos sible to have trapshooting clubs in baseball parks, fair grounds, city parks in fact, any place where there are a couple of hundred yards of ground not being utilized. Now is the time to sew the seed.

 Sammy Blink fought down in Bos- ton the other night, and that is just how he looked after, Danny Duggan, his opponent, got through with him.
 Jim Coffroth, who has charge of the boxing end of the program for the united sport week drive, has been asked to referee. Levinsky protested agaiT'k the Philadelphia referee, and Dempsey agreed with him that Cof- froth was the proper man for the place.
 If plans at present entertained by soldires in the service across the wa ter are really carried out, there may be a new worlds series on the cards next fall, Fred Mitchell, the CubS' manager, now over there, claims that | there are enough high class ball play CTS in the service to stage a worlds 1 series in France and that the fans will follow the work of any two teams entered in such series of contests with even more interest than the pair of big league teams that may be battling in this country next Octo- 1 Der.
