FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAs uNsErTLEo.

New York, Feb. 11-Trading on inc stock exchange today was dlvid- cd into three distinct phases, a heavy to weak tone. perYadlng the early dealings. with irregular rallies during the mid sess-on and another sharp reversal at the disorderly close.
 Resumption of selling for both ac- counts at the outset doubtless had it's inception in the more unfavorable railroad labor situation and various uncertainties attendant upon the, i'm Vending holiday.
 Very heavy offerings of the first hour which comprised almost one third Of the days turnover, repre- sentec a combination of enforced li- ouidat5on and bearish pressure. Re- ports agreed that much of the selling came from disheartened traders and weakened speculative accounts.
 While the decline was in full swing virtually all classes of stocks estab- -shed new low records. qp man.; in- stances losses ranging from 9 to 109 points from highest quotations 0f the previous month were regis tered.
 The most disturbing feature was he weakness Of investment rails, which rallied only feebly eveni when stocks of less intrinsic worth re- sRoEoed for short covering. Some of inc high class transportations, with assured dividend regulations, were at lowest prices in one to almost three years.
 Among high priced specialties Gen. eral Motors was again in the fore ground at an extreme decline of II l-2 points. only a small part of which was retrieved. Other motors, oflA, equipments. shipp ngs and steels lost Ito 1-2 points. L. s. Steel falling to a fraction over 9e. with virtually no recovery Sales amounted to l. S75.e00 shares

CARPENTER EXPECTS To BOY
 DEMPSEY IN SEPTEMBER

New York, Feb. 11.-Paris cable ad- vices received here today state that Georges Carpentier, European heavy weight champion, will sail for this country on March 13 and expects to box Jack Dempsey for the worlds title in the United States during the month of September. In addition to Carpenter and his manager. Des- camps. the party will include two French pugilists of lighter classes, Charles Ledoux and Georges Papin.
 It is understood that Carpenter has both film and vaudeville contracts which will occupy his time for four or five months after his arrival in Amer ica. Before the expiration of these contracts it is expected that the sen sational French pugilist will have been formally signed to meet Dempsev for the title which the latter won from Jess Willard last July.
 tlTeX RScAard. who promoted that contest at Toledo. refused today to discuss the report that Carpenter was coming to this country under contract with him. It is known, however, that DescamCs has requested Rickard to secure matches for both Ledoux and Papiu, which leads to the general ex- pectation that Rickard will announce the formal matching of Carpenter and Dempsey shortly after the formers arrival. In case Dempsey is unavail- able for any reason, Mike O'DoWd or promising light heavyweight may be used as Carpenters opponent in the Frenchman's ring debut in America.

COMMITTEE LOOKING INTO
 CHARGES AGAINST DEMPSEY

New York, Feb. 1.-The special committee appointed by the board of boxing control to investigate the charges that Jack Dempsey was a draft dodged during the war held it's first meeting here tonight. Little was attempted beyond formation ana foundation work. According to a state ment issued by the chairman after the meeting, the committee confined its deliberations to determining the ques-. ton to be investigated and the issue to be adjudicated.
 It was decided that the scope of the committee investigation would be con- fined to the question as to whether Dempsey had evaded the draft and merited the charge of being a draft dodser as alleged by certain American Legion posts and Commissioner Smith of the New Jersey state boxing com mission.
 No definite date was fixed for the holding of the second meeting of the committee. which hinges on receipt of evidence to be submitted by Dempsey which. it is understood, is. being for warded from California by mail. All future meetings in connection with the case are to be open bearings. Those present at tonigh1s conference included Major Anthony J. Drexel Riddle, Gutzon Borglurn, pr. Joseph R. Raycroft, R. B. Steele, A. L. Marilley and Adam Empie.

 Cleveland fans believe that this is Cleveland's year and decline to cha~ ~ge the view because the Yankees grabbed Babe Ruth. It might be added that Cleveland fans felt the same way about the pennant last winter and failed to have the hope realized.

Comiskey of the Chicago Americans, were the champions of the plan. As the mat ter stands it will be possible for club owners to allot seats for the youngsters.
 While owners of the American League franchises refused early to- day to discuss the ''pac of Chicago, which ended the factional fight in the organization, supporters of the minority faction, which included Ja- cob Ruppert, New York. Harry Fra zee, Boston, and Charles Comiskey, Chicago, claimed a victory for their side and asserted that "Johnson's wings had been clipped
 On the other hand admirers of President Johnson and his loyal five Connie Mack, Philadelphia; Frank Navin, Detroit; Phil Ball. St. and James Dunn. Cleveland, declared Johnson was victorious over the 'tin- surgents'' and pointed out the follow ing reasons:
 Johnson still remains as president of the American League, despite the declaration of the minority faction that they would oust him from the office
 The dismissal of the three suits filed against Johnson and one against each of the five loyal club owners by the New York club.
 That Johnson still has his five loy- al club owners and will be champion ed by Clarke Griffith on the arbitra- ton board.
 The reinstatement of Carl Mays was said to be automatic because a suspension. as in this players case, is seldom carried over into another season.

Norwich bulletin., 1920-02-12

Chicago, Feb. 11.--Club owners of major leagues, meeting in joint ses- sion today received recommendations of the joint nominating committee for chairman of the National Baseball Commission to succeed August Herr mann. whose resignation became ef- fective today. Five names were sub- nitted and final decision was left to Presidents John Heydler of the Ma tional League and B. B. Johnson of the American League, who will an- nounce their decision at their dis cretion-
 The names submitted according to club owners. were: Judge K. M. Lam dis, Chicago; William Edwards, New York: State Senator J. E. Walker. of New York; Harvey T. Woodruff, sporting editor of the Chicago Tri- bune. and J. Conway Toole, New York.
 Of the foregoing names, those of Senator Walker and Mir. Woodruff were most prominently spoken of for the position. Retiring Chairman Hermann declared to newspapermen that he favored Woodruff as his suc- eessor, because he was of the opinion that a newspaperman was best fitted for the position. A high official in the American League said the. name of Judge Landis could be eliminated as the federal judge would not be chosen.
 A resolution commenting the work of Hermann as chairman of the Ma tional Commission was adopted by the sixteen club owners. The reso- lution went back to the days when Hermann went into the office with the birth of the commission. It was largely to MT. Herrmann's efforts that he brought about the accord which ended the strife between the Ameri- can and the National Leagues, the resolution stated. and it also said that in every baseball event, he had borne an active and honorable part while his keen judgment of situa- tions. his rema rkable mastery and memory of detail. and Hntiring eneraa gy in forwarding his plans. have been the marvel of his associates
 We regret the decision of Mir. Hermann to remain at the head of his club in his own city has made it impossible for him longer to give his time and attention to the affairs of the commission, the resolution con- cluded.
 4 slight increase in admission to 1920 championship games also was decided upon. The scale for unre- served seats in the bleschers, pavil- ions and gran6stand will be fifty cents and S1, var tax included. The reserve seat scale will be decided up- on by the individual clubs.
