The Goodfellowship clubs annual
picnic was held at Bostwick lake last
Thursday and the gathering was one
of the best yet held by the club
Bathing, boat riding and big picnic
dinner were features that interested
the members and their guests ano
helped make the day and occasion .
most delightful one. There were more
than seventy Who gathered aroun'
the tables when the big spread was
on.
Much credit is due to Jerry Lam,
bertson and his wife who are presi-
dent and secretary for the very
skillful way in which they handled
the details. The bunch were quarter
ed at the Ramsdell park grounds. In
the afternoon a ball game was pulled
&C between the teams Of Earl Wilson
and Ed. Brooks who chose sides. Judge
f. B. Lapham umpired and the close
decisions made were featured with
the usual beefing and chawing the
rag. Several double plays were made
and three home runs were scored. Mr..
Lapham's decisions were generally
commended for fairness. The game
was draw.

Fu|z President Of international League

L. Fultz, U. S. A, was unanimously
elected president of the new Inter-
national Baseball League at a meet
ing of club owners here tonight. At
his own request the term was limited
to one year
Fultz, a lawyer, who formerly was
college football star and American
League outielder. was president of
the Baseball Players Fraternity from
1912 until 1916, when that organization
went out of existence. After his
election had been announced Fultz
stated that the headquarters of the
league would be located at Al Wall
Street, this city.
During the afternoon Johnny Evers,
former big league player who had
just returned from France where he
had been knights of Columbus sec
rotary, was seen in the corridor of
the hotel, where the league meeting
was being held. His name was men
toned as a probable candidate for the
presidency. In fact Evers said he
had been approached on the subject
by committee from the International
League, but as the election Of Fultz
was unoflicially announced as beng
unanimous, it is probable that those
who spoke to Evers had not presented
his name at the meeting.
All the clubs of the league with the
exception of Rochester We're repre-
sented at the meeting over which c. H.
Knapp of Baltimore presided.

TRANSPORTING CLUBS
ASKED TO CONSERVE LEAD
BY PETER P. CARNEY
Editor National Sports svndic

ECiLoF Ndllonal sports SynolCaLe
Conservation IS an old theme
1t has been preached in these United
States for many years, with few TAX
ing the subject in a serious vein.
1t took the world war to teach US
the true meaning of conservation.
We learned to conserve on many
things-and in many ways-before the
Huns were obliged TO leave the soil of
France and Belgium, and now that
the Knockout punch has been put
over it is just as necessary as ever to
conserve our resources. There is no
excuse now; we know how.
If we do not coserve, we waste.
Waste spells want. There is nothing
new or original in this re-
mark. 1t has been written and quoted
many times, and of late has proven
most effective argument.
The war has taught us possibly
not SO much as the people of other
how inexhaustible may appear the
supply of a certain commodity, there
is a bottom to the barrel, and of we
neglect to conserve we may arise
some morning to find the barrel
empty.
Therefore, conservation is the thing
we should keep uppermost in our
minds. Our thought at this time is
to get the word before the trapshoot-
| ing clubs of the United States and
| Canada. There is a lead mine at
| nearly every trapshooting club-and
very little mining has been done.
| Lead is a scarce article. In the closing
| days of the war it was at a premium.
| Lead was one of the commodities
! which came into its own during the
| war. The market quotations attest
| this statement.
| Never before was the demand for
| cad as great as at this time, and the
| thought we have in mind is that if
the trapshooting clubs will mine the
! grounds they shoot over they will re-
claim much lead and aid in the. con-
servation of this all-important com
modify. Where clay targets are trap
! ped week after week for Years the
ground in front OF the traps is we'll
worth mining.
| After three years of shooting over
| the traps of the dupont Club in Will
mington, Del, the grounds were mined
and % tons of lead were gathered.
One year later the grounds were again
mined and again with good results.
! Several years ago the grounds of a
gun club in Columbus, O., were mined
and 26 tons of lead were taken out.
| On the Columbus operation each so
pounds of earth gave up one pound
| of shot.
There are a number Of clubs that
mine their grounds yearly and en-
rich the club treasury thereby. This
is something every trapshooting club
should investigate, for the reclamation
of lead is conservation.
| In normal years it is estimated that
100000 rounds Of ammunition are
shot at clay targets. Of course the
war time consumption of shells al
gun clubs is a very small proportion
Of the pre-war consumption. There
are about 1000 active gun clubs in
in the United States and Canada. The
number Of shots fired in normal times
at the small clubs in a year would
average about 10000, while the larger
clubs would average between $4,000
and 100, 600 shots There are a few
clubs that throw as many as 250,00C
targets in q year.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS SPECULATIVE

New York, Jan. 6--Pools and affili-
ated interests were in undisputed con-
troll of today's stock market, public
or outside support falling to low ebb.
Representatives shares were heavy,
when not altogether neglected, specu-
lative issues comprising a large per-
centage of the moderate turnover.
The markets superficial character
may be judged from the fact that oils,
distilling, tobacco, food and fertilizer
issues represent the bulls or long ac-
count, while rails, shippings and the
more popular lndustrIalS and equip
ments registered losses Of one to three
points.
In substance, stocks most favored
were those which have been little if
at all affected by the transition from
war to peace, but gains were largely
forfeited in the general selling of the
last hour, Mexican Petroleum, for eX-
ample, relinquishing all but frac-
ton of its six point advance
L. 5. Steel was under persistent
pressure, losing two points and kindred
issues sagged one to two points. cop
pers and shippinSs also yielding as a
result Of selling peculiar to those
stocks.
Marine preferred was heavy from the
outset on cable indicating another hitch
in the tranfer of its British tonnage to
the United States government and the
setback in metals conceded with re-
ports of further cutting of prices.
Sales were $4,000 shares.
Liberty and international bonds
were steady, but other issues were in
clined to ease, q noteworthy feature
being the break of Ia points in
