later.
Abrogation Of the national agreement
under which the major and minor leagues
have operated since 1902 was approved BY
organized baseball that has supported
the sport for nearly twenty years already,
by a vote Of the majority of major league
magnates, has been torn down.
The "Lasker plan" as approved by the
magnates, provides for the establishment
of a board of control composed of three
men of national repute," none to be in
any way financially interested in base
ball This board will nave control and
authority over every phase of the national
game, having power to discipline club
owners as we'll as managers and players.
The chairman will be paid $4,000 per
year and will be required to devote all

members will receive $4,000 each per
year. but will be required to devote only
such time as is necessary to the affairs
of the board.
The club owners will meet in Chicago

velopments that might promise liquida-
ton on the part of the public
The public at present is not disposed
to follow the market on any large scale
because conditions are very uncertain.
Not only have we an unsatisfactory
state of trade here, but England presents
a serious problem at this time. fully as
important to US as it is to the people
there.
Money has turned easier and will likely
continue in the direction toward normal
though with occasional fiurries such as
we experienced last week.
Theoretically, the present unsatisfac-
tory state of trade should be reflected in
decreased volume of business for the rail-
roads. but up to the present time there
has been no indication of a falling of
in railroad tonnage, and it is Just posi-
BILE that this may be due to seasonal
requirements. and the shrinkage may be
felt later on.
There is certainly nothing at this time
to create any market enthusiasm, though
it is generally maintained that follow
Ing the presidential election we may ex-
pect a general revival of confidence and
business. and this is counted upon TO give
Us an ultimately higher market.

HOG PRICES
ON BIG CRASH
Hog Market so to rs Cents
Lower-Cattle Slow.
RANGE OF HOG PRICES.

There was a flood of hogs on the local
stock market today and prices opened
so to IS cents lower, due to the lower
tendency of the outside markets and to
the 600 hogs that came in.
The flood of stuff that was rushed TO
the market is believed to BIO caused by a
sentiment among the farmers that the
stage of high prices is over, which they
take as an opportune time to unload their
hogs on the market.
Ii is believed by some commission men
that this flood of stuff may continue for
some time unless there Is another upward
movement of prices.
The clearance of the market of the day
before WAS fair at less than 500 stale
hogs for today's market, but indications
were that there would be large number
Of hogs left over from today's trading.
Good heavy hogs generally brought
$1475@14.90, with top of SIS, and a
few that sold outside the market at
$15.25, but that number was very few.
Good medium stuff brought close to
$1475, and lights S14.50@14.75.
Roughs were about steady with the
Monday market at $1575 and down, and
pigs were of. selling at $3.50
The bulk of sales for the early and
forenoon trading was STATS
Trading on the cattle market was slow
with the exception Of lively movement
among buyers who wanted Gamers. and
tie prices for the early and forenoon
trading were about steady for the stuff
that was sold, but there were indications
which would lead one to believe that
there might be lower prices before the
close of the market.
Trading in bulls, cows, heifers and
steers was slow, with a slightly lower
tendency in prices
Receipts for the day Appropriated 800,
with some stale stuff Of the day before.
To all probability a goodly number of
the receipts of today viii be held over
for the Wednesday market.
There was an exceedingly dull tone TO
the trading in the calf market, and prices
were down. Good TO choice grades were
fully SOC lower. with a top Of $3.50, and
the bulk Of that grade bringing S14G
1850.
Common and poor grades were gener-
ally fully 81 lower.
Sheep were about steady at S4G4.50,
and lambs were off SOC TO 81, with a top
of $1,000, the bulk OF the choice lambs
at $40 and the range OF prices at $6@10.50.
There were 100 sheep and lambs on
the market.

ket opened active and much stronger to-
day, initial quotations being 10 to 20
ppoints net higher.
The upturn was due to very strong

cording to private messages for a settle
ment OF the strike of British coal miners.
Cables also mentioned buying by Man
chester and better inquiry for the spot
articles as factors at Liverpool.
Although local prices did not fully
reflect the gains abroad, it was due to

GRIFFITH CALLS
'EM CUT-THROATS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-Clark Crit
fifth part owner and manager Of the
Washington American League Baseball
Club, expressed his disapproval Of the
meeting of the baseball magnates in
Chicago last night in no uncertain terms
here today.
Talk is cheap" said Griffith, "and
some of the men that attended this meet
ing and talked the most are the most
responsible for the present unsausfac-
tory condition of organized baseball.
Take President John Heydler OF the Ma
tional League, for instance. He Is one
OF the biggest failures in baseball. IL
be had taken hold of the Chase case
two years ago and cleaned it up We
would not have had the present trouble.
I'VE, are for reorganization, but we
want it accomplished in the right man
ner. This meeting was not called IN
ing called by belligerents who wanted
TO clean out Ban Johnson. The Wash
ington Baseball Cluo wants to wait for
the grand jury to finish with the pres
emit case and then proceed to reorganize
along proper lines"
Griffith said he did not wish to convey
the impression that he or his club was
lining up on the side of Ban Johnson in
the controversy. But" said Griffith,
I'VE are not going IN with lot of cut
threats aud help them grind their axes"
DETROIT, Oct. 19.-Frank J. Navin.
president OF the Detroit American
League Baseball Club, is not in sym
patty with the movement inaugurated
at the meeting Of baseball magnates in
Chicago last night.
In commenting upon reports Of the
Chicago meeting NaYin made the fol-
lowing statement:
IF reorganization of major league
baseball is desired, action should be de-
ferred until the United States Court Of
Appeals decides whether or not base
bail. in its present state. is trust.
should the Court OF Appeals decide
that baseball is a trust it will be impos-
sible to have an organization on the
old lines At present, with the decision
pending. the majors do not know just
where they stand, particularly in rela-
ton to the matter OF minor leagues. We
do not know whether the minors can
be part of the major organizations or
whether they must be entirely indie
pendent II court decision demolishes
the present form of organization all the
work now planned will go for naught.
Also I think that the majors should
wait until the grand jury In Chicago
completes It's work. The present action
looks very much like political PROPOSE
ton"
