HAS AVERSION TO sWEET-scE'NTED'NOTE,sj Arthur Shafer, Clever New ‘Cark 7Shortstop. Arthur Shafer Spoiled a romance and madeéa good baseball item wiiem he reported to the Glants at Marlin this spring,. The romance concerned his aversion to playing Joseph to Potiphar's. wife. The public prints last winter ] printed the story that Shafer had deeided to quit the game because he ob- jected to so many mash notes. Shafer says theiman who sent out the story exaggerated it, to say the least. He admits hle did say that a ball player was burdened with a lot of scented missives from love-sick girls and that. they got mighty tiresome, but he denies that he ever said a thing like that would make him quit baseball. He will play the game, he says—and thnow the notes in the waste basket. The item of interest to the fams on his report- ing to McGraw was that the leader of the Giants would make him the regular shortstop this year in place of Fletcher. GERMANY HOARDING * BIG RESERVE FUND (Continued from first page). gether with small withdrawals, is to be piled up in’ the Imperial Bank un- til the gold reserve total reaches the $375,000,000 mark. In place of the 20 mark “Kassenscheine” or “Green-| backs”, is to- be printed to fill the gap. Aside from this, $5,000,000 gold annually is to be withdrawn trom circulation until $30,000,0600 has been added to the “war chest.” ‘This gap also is to be filled with pa- per. Next, $30,000,000 is to be coin- ed especially for the “war chest” 8o as to bring the total up to $90,000,~ 000.- The $30,000,000 in silver is to be distributed among the large banks throughout th® kingdom' to be held until ‘the trumpet 6f war sounds. Should war be declared, the law provides that the government may is- sue paper money to the extent of $3 for every dollar of gold in the “war chest.” " Thus:Germany would have a gold reserve of $375,000,000 in the Imperial Bank; $60,000,000 special war fund in gold. specie in the Julius Tower, and $30,000,000 silver war fund deposited with the banks. As $180,000,000 ‘paper money could be issued upon _the $60,000,000 “war chest,” the German government would have immediately -available $645,000,000 for a “war panic” in bank, or industrial circles.
