EASTElnN LEAGUE
MEETING SOON

The Eastern league magnates are
beginning to prepare for the COM
ing seas son, for with Bridgeport ready
to announce the name q it's manager
this week. and the New Haven club
ready to announce that the ancient
stamping grounds at Savin Rock are
to be abandoned in favor of Light
house Point, a call is expected from
Dan O'Neil any time for the annual
meeting of the league which was post
pointed from last fall because of cur
tailment of the season.
It is stated by a person in a posi-
ton to know the inside working Of
the club interests. that it has been
practically decided to give up the
Savin Rock mud hole and give the
people of New Haven class A base
ball in a decent park. While the East
Shore Amusement Co officials say no
arrangements have been made as yet
for the lease of the park for Eastern
lague ball, it is understood plans
are in the works and very soon an Of
scenery will be made by someone,
purporting to be the owner Of the New
Haven club. 1t is said that James H.
Clarkin is seeking new home for
his Hartford club, as the fans in the
Capital city have become disguised
with the old park on Wethersfield
avenue, and demand a new and up
to-date baseball plant. II is figured
that Eastern league bill will never pay
in Hartford and New Haven op-
Grated on the old grounds. One of the
Eastern directors says meeting of
the league club owners will be called
very soon when it is expected plans
for the coming season will be made.
Another director isn't any too sure
about the Eastern making much of d
success during the 1919 season. He
says he believes it will take several
seasons for baseball to fully recover
from the effect of the war and that
the coming season bids fair to be a
mighty slim one from a profitable
standpoint. He points out that no
minor league club owner can expect to
make money the coming season as
many of the boys will not be home
and the country being in such an
unsettled condition, will make it hard
to draw the crowds necessary to sup
port the games. He believes it will
| take three or four years to get base
ball back on it's feet and prove a
money making proposition

Heavyweight Battle viii Smash Records

The Willard Dempsey bout next
July 4 promises to attract almost as
much attention as the Jeffries- John
son at Reno in 1910, which was
known as the battle of the century,
Possibly the coming bout will not re-
ceive quite as much advertising as
the battle between the white man and
the black. but it is sure to be more
profitable.
For months before the Reno fight
the sporting pages of every newspaper
in the country were filled with the
news of the gladiators. A full week
before the fight the story assumed
front page proportions, with pictures
o. scenes in the training camps ap-
pearing every day to the exclusion Of
news of national Importance.
The result of all that publicity
brought out a crowd of some 10000
persons, who paid $270,775 for tickets.
However, by far the larger part of
the crowd had come from long dis
tances, SO that the cost of the ticket
was only minor part of each fan's
expenses.
For the coming bout Promoter Tex
Richard plans to build an arena with
double the capacity of the one he
erected in Reno. The scale of prices
will be trihe. higher, ranging from
SO to $50. The scale at Reno was
from IS to $50.
Because Of the fact that the JEFF
fries Johnsou fight was held in far
away Nevada, the crowd was not such
q large one. considering that the
whole sporting world had been talk
ing Of nothing else but this match for
whole year before it was staged.
The total number of paid admissions
was only 1880. There We're $50 com
rlimentaries issued and it was esti-
mated that about 1000 impecunious
persons were allowed in free of charge
at the last moment. when it was made
apparent that the seats would not be
filled otherwise.
If the coming bout is held in CT
near one of the largest cities there
is not doubt that every seat will be
taken, so that the only Limit to the
size of the crowd will be the seating
capacity. Promoter Richard asserts
that the plans for the arena which
was in course of construction in San
Francisco for the johnson Jeffries
fight before word came from the gov
ernor of California to stop proceed
ings, were for an arena seating $4,000
persons.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS SLUGGISH,

New York, Feb. 18.-Uncertainty and
consequent irregularity of prices
marked the sluggish trading on the

hecting none of the previous days

Motors and some of the minor or I'M
! important specialties comprised the
firm to strong issues and oils were
again variably depressed on profit
taking and bearish pressure. The net
result represented little more than the
conflicting views of cliques and pools.
Almost the sole hopeful feature was
the relative strength of rails, buying
of that group at intervals including
most Of the representative shares in
the granger, transcontinental and coal
divisions at to l IL point gains.
Rails were almost the only shares to
retoin a. fair proportion of their ad-
vance in the selling movement of the

eral Motors extreme rise of four
points and effected moderate unsettle-
ment elsewhere.

acted one to three points, with Marine

further reversal extended to other

in local fractions were held and pop

vances. Sales amounted to $4,000
shares.
Recent mixed conditions in the bond
market continued, speculative rails
showing further heayiness, while local

70 years ago. The contest took place

however, bowling on the green was a
