MUST BUILD A NEW PLANT Ldkely That Dick Smith Will Again Be Selected to Lead Senators In 1012. Springfield, ni., Not. 4. Plans for the organization of a stock company to assume the Springfield franchise in the Three-Eye league are maturing, and it 1b -probable that the deal will be per fected soon. President Kinsella is said to be willing to dispose of his holdings and retire from the local game. It Is the intention of the promoters of the stock company to interest as many persons as possible, in order to give the game a boost. No controlling t-tock will be sold. It is said that Kin sella Is willing to sell his franchise for $4,000. This will inclaude the play ers under reserve, in addition to a three years' lease on the ball lot. Wn.I. Bl'TI.D SEW HRAMJ STm It Is estimated that the cost of stand to replace the one consumed by fire last summer. In the reserve list of players Man ager Dick Smith is listed, and If he re turns to Springfield, It Is likely that he will be named leader of the Sena tors in 1912. Kinsella Is said to be willing to retire frcm the game, but is anxious to have the franchise which he owns remain in this city. GROH MAKES GOOD. Shortstop Henry Groh, who was sold by Kinsella to Manager McGraw of the New York Giants for $3,500. probably will be a candidate for a regular berth on the Giant lineup next year. Groh hit the ball in the Three-Tye league, and after his transfer to New York he was sent to Buffalo for seasoning. He continued to meet the pill, and Mc Graw believes he will be a valuable player next year. qiixcv STOCK rOMPAW. Quincy, Nov. 4 --If Quincy has a team in the Three-Eye league next year it will be backed by a stock com pany. At a meeting of the directors of the Quincy Baseball association last night at Highland park. President Har ry Hofer announced that under no consideration would he be identified with baseball in Quincy next year as an individual. This is final, and it means that it will be up to the base ball loving public of this city to sub scribe and pay for as many shares of stock as they can carry. The direc tors expect to get out today and begin a canvass of the city. It will be up to the fans to make up their minds in a hurry if there is to be professional AMERICAN LEAGUE PLAYERS WANT COBB BARRED FROM RACE FOR AUTOMOBILES a. . ... . i VUil There la a movement on foot among ball pL-yers in the American League to petition the automobile manufacturer who is giving two cars annually to the players adjudged the most valuable in their respective leagues, to prohibit any one player from winning more than one auto mobile n flv years.

ATHLETES ABSENT: MEET CALLED OFF Indoor Events at Y. M. 0. A. Fail to Create Enthusiasm Among Students. ONLY A FEW ON HAND Jsk Promoters and Officials Ready but Those Who Had Kntered Failed to Appear. Baseball Stars on Stage It was a case of waitine at the Y. M. C. A. (not the church) with seven! ! promotors of the Inter-Sunday School ; Athletic association Jast night when1 the first program, including an indoor! track meet, was to have been run off. t The numerous promoters and the offl-! cials of the meet were all on derk at an early hour in the evening, anxious for the arrival of the athletes who had signed the entry blanks. As the hour of the meet approached, they became more and more impatient as but one or two of the dozen who had signed up to appear had come. FIX ALLY CALLED OFF, A half hour after the regular time for the meet, the event was called off because there were not enough con tenders for athletic honors present. This probably means that the inter-Sunday school associations will abandon all efforts to inaugurate an athletic association during the winter months. The Sunday schools have not cooper-, ated with the Y. M. C. A. officials in! the scheme and that is one of the rea- j sons for the failure. The Fir.-t Bap-j tist and the Memorial Christian; schools were the only ones to even re-; spond to the invitation of the officials. ; nSTERFERES WITH CLASSES. J Another reason for the abandonment!

A Tax Exempt Stock That Pays 7 Dividends As typical of the best and most up-to-date practice in the central electrical etation industry in our larger cities, there is no investment more worthy of investigation than the stock of the Commonwealth Edison Company of Chicago. Notwithstanding its astonishingly rapid growth and its present strategic position, this Company is as yet doing only a fraction of the business that it will do in the near future. The Coi imon wealth Edison Company is at present retailing electricity in a territory that covers 200 square miles, but that territory is only "tapped," so to Epeak. There is expert authority for the statement that three times the present volume of business should naturally come to the Company's Central Station. Yet, gigantic as is the retail business of the Commonwealth Edison Company, it forms only one-third of its total business, two-thirds of which is wholesale. It supplies electricity to 12."0 miles of street and elevated railway track and its ser vice to smaller Central Stations extends bo miles to the north, 55 miles to the soutli and 35 miles to the west of Chicago. A very considerable portion of the Company's wholesale business is concerned in the sale cf electricity for light and power to manufacturers. In this field there is still opportunity for avast increase of business in replacing pri. ate power plants with the more economical Central Station service The Commonwealth Edison Company represents an investment of over $70,000,000, and is paying dividends at the rate cf 7co per annum on its capital stock. The future prospects of this stock are indicated by the recent advance in the dividend rate from d'fo to 7. At the present market price of about $130.00 per share, the net return to the investor is atout Ti. While the stock was pay ing 6 dividerds it sold at average prices that yielded a f,maller net return. This justifies us in the belief that Commonwealth Edison stock is now a more desirable investment than ever before. Commonwealth Edison stock is listed on the Chicago Stock Exchange. We recommend this stock as an investment of exceptionally high character, paying 7 dividends, and as being exempt from taxation under Illinois law.
