view YORK, Feb. S.--Announcemcn mt

expenditure and receipts and that it
would shortly begin paying OF certif-
Gates of Indebtedness out OF the pay
ment of income and excess profit taxes
causes the financial district to begin
a new week with the expectation that
the governments financial necessities
have been supplied and that the drain
upon the banks for government pur-
poses has stopped.
fnEsUuch as It has been the heavy
demands made by the United States
government on the money market that
has been directly responsible for the
tightness of money. which in turn has
furnished the basis for the recent
break in the quoted market prices for
securities Wall street tomorrow begins
business with more optimism than for
many weeks.
While there are many who can be
found who believe that liquidation has
not been completed in the stock mar
ket. the most important people in the
financial district think that 40 far as
the prices of stocks are concerned the
low record prices recorded last week
discounted falling OF in exports and
contraction in trade that is expected
to result from the unusually sharp de-
probation in European credit as ex-
pressed in the foreign exchange rates
which last week touched the lowest
levels in the history Of the world.
With so much business on hand the
optfmists entertain little apprehension
AS to the falling OF In export bust

quarters as a result of the sharp de-

LIMIT IS FAVORED
ON PLAYER DEALS

Major league club owners at their
conclave in Chicago this week. will
make another attempt to place an
early time limit on player deals be-
tween clubs.
As the rule in both leagues now
stands. clubs may make deals until
August 20. At the league meetings
in this city last December an effort
was made to move the time limit to
an earlier date in the season, but
this did not meet the approval of the
National league. The subject will
come up again for consideration this
week.
President Ban Johnson of the
American league liz in favor OF barring
Sthe transfer of players after June /.
The object OF the change is to pre-
vent clubs from strengthing their
lineups late in the season in order to
make q pennant drive. At the joint
meeting next Wednesday johnson will
suggest that the change be made to
June 1.
For several seasons there has been
a demand by some club owners for
limitation of inter-club trading. They
believe that the managers should be
able to decide on their teams by June
! and finish the season with the talent
at hand instead of trying to strength
Ell dl LIE expense Of ot1eT CluDs. An
earlier time limit would squelch the
mercenary spirit which was so evident
last season and prompted some clubs
to sell their star players late in the
season.
The National league opposes the
change because of the uncertainty of
the game and the constant possibility
of accidents putting star player out
of the game for the season. Some
club owners maintain that il club
was leading the league and a star
player was injured after June / the
inability TO replace him would rob
| its club of the pennant chances.
The statement alleged to have been
made by Manager Connie Mack of the
Athletics that there was possibility
of there being no American league
next season, was not taken seriously.
The owners of the Yankees, Colonel
Rupert and Colonel Huston, made 1t
known that the three insurgent clubs
New York, Chicago and Boston. would
play anyway.
Colonel Huston remarked, IF Con-
ME Mack. and the four other members
of the loyal five decide to draw off
and play By themselves. that would
insure Mack's club OF finishing In the
race in NTH place, which Is three po-
sitions higher than he has furnished
during the past five seasons"
Colonel Huston said further: "Mr.
Mack is quoted to the effect that the
fight against President johnson will
| hurt no one except the innocent
clubs. II he means by the innocents
himself. Clarke Griffith of Washing
ton, and Phil Ball. OF St Louis, well,
they were the first to rush to John
sons assistance and refuse all offers
of Cancellation. He says that there
may be no American league next year.
No american league would be big
beest for the Athletics. The clubs
which are opposed to johnson are GO
| ing to play baseball next season.
That's q certainty
