New York, Feb. 2.-Fresh demoral- ization in foreign exchange. call loans rising to 16 per cent. and time money still unobtainable at an advance of the bid to and even 10 per cent ac- counted mainly for today,s very list less stock market.
 There was a show of activity and strength at the outset, apparently pre- dicated on the belief that debate on the peace treaty might be hastened by Fiscount Grey's statement. This was soon dispelled, the market reacting at the first sign of pressure and lapsing into a state of apathy for the bal aRce of the session.
 Last weeks local bank statements were regarded as fairly encouraging but a survey of conditions at other leading centers disclosed mixed gains and losses Western ard southwestern sections mostly strengthening their re serves.
 In banking circles there was furth- sr conjecture dealing with the unset tlenent of international credits, but this tock the for-n largely of discus sion as to the ultimate effect of the adverse movement on this country's S foreign trade.
 Rails were the only important stocks to manifest degree of f1rmness and better sentiment on the part of investors and speculative interests. Their moderate strength was derived from the progress of federal legisla- ton.
 A few leaders. including U. S. Steel and other standard industrials, were at minimum quotations in the final dealings that period coinciding with the highest rate for call money and the lowest quotation for foreign exchange. Sales amounted to 475000 shares.
 There was steady liquidation throughout the session of. Liberty bonds and Victory notes, as well as speculative rails and industriaIs. For eign bonds. including Japanese As, were reactionary at slight changes.

SCORING NOTES.

It is hinted in soccer circles that the Bethlehem team has imported sev- eral star players from across the water
 Harry Greb. who seems to have out grown the middleweight division, will take a hand in the mingling of the heavyweight scrappers.
 The New York Giants and Boston Red Sox have completed their sched- ule of 20 exhibition games to be play ed during the spring training trip
 It is predicted that the 25-cent seats at major league ball games will be abolished altogether when the big leagues meet at Chicago in February
 A great deal is being said nowa- days about Ty Cobb slowing up. As the Detroit star proved last year that he was still the greatest batter in baseball, he must have slowed up" after the close of the year.
 A barrel of money in the way of vaudeville, movie, or boxing exhibi- tion contracts awaits Georges Carpen- tier in American. There is no deny ing the fact that the Frenchman is the greatest drawing, card in pugilism today.
 Terry Turner, veteran infielder of the Cleveland Indians, will return to IHS OOIuIl1DuS ledu1 or the AIQerlcan association next season. Cotton Top" graduated into fast company from the Columbus team IS years ago.
 According to the program for the seventh Olympiad to be held at Ant werp this year boxing championships will be decided on points, while com petition in hockey will be on the knockout system.
 Philadelphia boxing gossip has it that Lew Tender will soon cast his lot with Manager Billy Gibson and thereby become a stablemate of Champion Benny Leonard Tendld was supposed to belthe arch enemy of Leonard and hot on the champions trail for a fight.
 Frank Morgan, who probably is in England by this time will do no box ing there, and the heavyweight crop of that country is safe for the time be- ing. The chief object of Moran s visit is to collect moneys he claims are due from promoters of the match between the Pittsburgher and Johnson. Moran in sailing bound himself to the pass port officials to do no boxing abroad. as the pug. list did not have time to go through all the details incident to the labor questions involved.

Dempsey hy Gordon Barber Post, Mill wapkee following passage of resolu- tions vindicating him of charges of being stacker. The action of the post was wired to Dempsey at Los Angeles.
 Babe Ruth, adding his salary to his purchase price, represents an invest ment of nearly $150,000. that the Yam kee club will undoubtedly attempt to protect in some way. They will prob ably insure the big slugger against ac- cident, for should the home run hitter sustain an injury in the first week of the. pennant race, the entire invest ment would be total loss. That would be taking too great a risk. In surfing ball players against accident is nos new thing. Practically every clufb that has an outstanding star on it's roster protects itself in that way and, although the premium is high, it is worth paying when the amount of money involved is considered.

New York, Feh- 2.-Comp1alnts in a haff million dollar damage suit were a-ryed today by the New York Amer ilal League club against Byron Ban- Cru1t Jonnson, president of the American League.
 Acton was started against Johnson at the time the American League met here on December 1 for it's annual meeting, when notices of suits were served on Johnson, and his five loyal club owners Connie Mack, Philadel- phia; Clark Grinth, Washingtoni Frank Navin, Detroit; Philip Ball, St. Louis, and James Dunn, Cleveland. Complaints also were served today on these five club owners in one of three suits brought against Johnson.
 In the first Of the three suits, the New York club demands damages of s500,000 personally from Johnson on the ground that he conceived the idea of driving the New York club out of baseball and to this end did various acts injurious to the New York club, including the suspension of Mays, and by erroneous statements influenced the Giants to write refus- ing to continue permission to the Yankees to use the Polo Grounds af- ter the year 1920, and by making pub lie the plans which the New York club had for the acquisition of a new ste. prevented it's acquisition on ad- vantageous terms"
 In the second suit the New York club prays for q judgment restraining Johnson from paying to himself or receiving out of the funds of the American League any salary or com pensation either as president, secre- tary or treasurer of the American League, and requiring him to account for and restore with interest all sums which he may have taken as salary since the annual meeting of the league in December 1919.
 The third suit which is against Johnson and his five so-called ''loyaP' club owners asks that they be re- strained from doing any further acts in aid of what is said to be the pur- pose and plan of the defendant John son to inture the New York club and to drive it out of baseball"
 This complaint also asks for the appointment of a receiver for the funds of the league and for an in junction during the pendency of this action.

s,.,e Old Arithmetic.

Some er1iyersity professors are ta'k- ng about getting out new arithmetic. However. our guess is that it will bother the boys just as much to dis cover how long it will take one man to build wall IS fGet long and six feet high and IF inc..eS thick, if eight men can build wall three times that size in four days. Arithmetic has al ways been the castor oil of school life; they may fool with it as much as they will but they'll never find way to- make it pleasant to take.
