New York, Sept 14—A major league team that can crowd no more than two safe blows into nine innings stands convicted. =~ Wherefore there are no excuses for the defeat of the Yankees at the claws of ‘the Tygers yesterday afternoon. In behalf of Bill Donovan it must be said that he made every available ‘effort to handle the Jennings gang without kid gloves. But his boys could do littla with Bill James; they couldn't get even one run with their paucity of safeties.

Les Darcy, the Austrailian, who 2landed a sleep punch upon the jaw of Eddie McGoorty, is only 19 years old. He used to be a blacksmith, but quit the forge about a year ago, when friends convinced him that a great future was in store for him in the fighting game. Darcy’s first real ring encounter s took Pplace last January. His rise in the pugilistic game has been meteor- fc. He is regarded as a born fighter and Australians predict that he will rank soon as Lhe greatest middle- weight battler of all time.

Hart- man of Worcester, Mass., the latter fwrites of witnessing a baseball game Trecently for the championship of the factory league in: Fitchburg, Mass., in which *“‘Chappie” Ward the former idol of the New .Britain base- ball team under the management of Billy Hanna was a participant. Ward ' played right fleld for the losers, and hit the pill in a savage fashion, In _4peaking with Mr ' Hartman, Ward showed great interest in: affairs in this city. He is now employed in one of the mills in Fitchburg. On the me team 'With “Chappie” is Ru. lange, o brother of the lamented Rufiange. . | SQUAD OF NINETY NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1015, REPORTS AT HARVARD Largest Batch of Tryouts in Years, Reports to Haughton and Mahan at the Stadium, Cambridge, Mass.,, Sept. 14.—More than ninety football players, the largest squad ihat has reported in years at Harvard, were on hand for the Crimson’s first day of football drill yesterday. The squad -com- prised practically all of the old men who are back, all save a few of the most promising freshmen and dozens who have previousy played on their class teams and the scrub. In point of size and experience it was the huskiest and likeliest look- ing squad Hauguton ever has had on the first day- Capt. Mahan was in charge of the practice, but Parson, the tackle, was the only regular left from last year, ‘Wallace, the center, not belng on hand- The first substitute list, how- evere, was well represented by Wat- son, the quarterback; Bigelow, R. Curtis, C. Coolidge and Soucy, line- men, and McKinlock, Rollins King, Whitney and Wilcox for the back field. Gilman a varsity tackle two Vvears ago, reported for work although with a slightly lamed ankle, while Lyman and Caner, two strong men, on the 1917 freshman team who were not eligible last full, were on the field. The work was light because ot the weather, but the coaches got right down to work with the position squad. Percy Haughton, Bob Storer and Derric Parmenter were the only old varsity coaches, but Mal Logan and Harry Gardner, the veterana, looked over the quarterback material, and Gil Brown and Frank O'Brien were in charge of the ends. Pennock who was an all American guard for three years, will help coach the line- men until college opens. l The material from last year's fresh- man team was out full force and some of it looked mighty good. Enwright, Taylor, Robinson and Wiggin all sized up well for varsity timber. Rob- inson was coached in kicking by Percy Haughton and his punting was re- markable for the first day. Reggie Brown, the strategy man, also came out for an hour and watch- ed the back fleld men closely. Joseph A. Pipal of Oriental college, Los An- geles, was on the fleld as the guest of Percy Haughton. He has been suc- cessful as a forward and lateral pass coach and will be at Cambridge for a few days. In addition to the var- sity coaches, Bob Giuld, a former tackle, who will coach the second team again, was' on the field, and so was Baltonstall the freshman team coach: This week and ngxt the var- sity squad will have two sessions a day. Twenty more men are expected | tomorrow, and by Wednesday the squad probably wilNbe 125 strong. —— RAIN AT SYRACUSE. H But One Race Run On Account fof Inclement Weather.

According to Ned Egan , the onnie Mack of the minors,” more bonehead plays are made in Class C and D leagues in a week than you see in the big leagues in a season Egan describes a play made in the Central association that kept the circuit amused for several days, Waterloo was playing at Muscatine and Wetzell, Muscantine’'s right field- er, was at first base, With Bours, of the same team, at bat. Sours gave the hit-and-run signal and Wetzel started down for second base as scon as the pitcher began to wind up. Sours hit a long fly. Just as he reached second base Wetzell thought he saw Hill, Waterloo’s left flelder, reaching up to catch the ball. : Without waiting to see whether the fielder made the catch, Wetzell raced back to first base. Meantime the ball had soared high over Hill's head, and Sours turned first base and raced for second. Wetzell passed him at full speed, going in the qpposite direction. When Sours reached second he thought that he had made a mis- take about seeing the ball fall safe, and started mavk to first. Simultaneously Wetzell saw Hill chasing the sphere and he again ve- gan the dash for second and once more both players passed each other on the dead run, both badly confus- ed- The result was that a hit that should have been for a triple and a score went for a double, DOUBLES ONLY FOR JOHNSON. Champion Will Not Play In gles at Cincinnati. Cincinnati, Sept. 14.—William M. Johnston of San Francisco, the nar tional tennis champion, with his part- ner in doubles, Clarence J. Griffin, played an exhibition match against Elia Fottrell of California and Irving C. Wright of Boston at'the tri-State tennis tournament here yesterday, los- ing one and winning one set. Previ- ously Johnston said that an advice of his physician he would not play in the singles, but would appear as a reg- ular entrant in the doubles later in the tourney. Miss Molia Bjurstedt of Norway tholder of the women’s singles cham- pionship of the United States, won her first match, defeating Miss Iris ‘Wilder in straight sets, 6—0, 6— Clarence J. Griffin of San Francisco, champion in doubles with Johnston, played one round of singles and de- feated Francis Benson, 6—0, 6—2. Ella Fattrell of California won his way to the third round, defeating Henry Beckett, 6—2, 6—2. 8in- ATHLETICS SIGN ANOTHER. Lewiston, Me., Sept. 14, “‘Buck"’ Danner, shortstop of the Rumford I"alls baseball team, an independent organization, has been signed by the Philadelphia Athletics, it was an- nounced yesterday by Harry Davis, scout for the Athletics. He will re- port immediately. NO COLLATERAL FOR BIG WAR LOAN Trade With America Will Cease Unless Funds Are Forthcoming New York, Sept. 14—The report that the Anglo-French financial com- mision contemplated borrowing a bil- lion dollars here without collateral of any sort and solely on government notes of Great Britain and France overshadowed all other topics in the financial section today. All calculations of American finan- clers prior to the commission’s arrival here had been based upon the as- sumption that Great Britain and France would secure the proposed loan by American securities, dollar for dollar, or by some other accept- able form of collateral. It was the consensus of financial opinion that' the commission would find a difficult task in the negotia- tions of an unsecured loan than would be the case were the proposed credit loan based upon collateral of Amer- ican bands and stock, as at first sug- gested. Action Unneutral, ‘Whether a strict interpretation of American neutrality would permit the issuance of a straight commercial loan on bonds of two of the allied warring nations was a tapic of con- siderable conjecture. While it was the general belief that.the adminis- tration at Washington would not in- terfere, no one could be found to stand sponsor far a publi¢ announce- ment to that effect, nor was any one, apparently, willing to say upon what the opinion was based. Plan of Commission. In brief, the reporfed plan of the commission, so far as it could be called a plan in the present some- what nebulous nature of the commis- sion’s program, was as follows: The establishment here of a mam- moth credit loan from the proceeds of which would be paid all bills for exports to Great Britain and France, and probably Russia. To fix the amount of this loan at | as nearly a billion dallars as possi- ble. The commission itself declined pos- itively to discuss the report that this was its plan. Curtailment Of Exports. . In case the commission should fail in its plan, it was said, Wholesale curtailment of _American exports would ensue. There is nothing, it was said, that Great Britain and France buy here that they could not obtain elsewhere with the single ex- ception of munitions of war. These they were prepared to pay for in gold if necessary, the Wwheat they will need for the next yfar, it was said, could be bought in Can- ada, Argentina, Australia, India and Russia, should the Dardanelles be forced by next March. Irrespective of the Russian supply the visible ex- port supplies of wheat in Canada, Argentina, Australia and India were placed at 325,000,000 bushels or suf- ficient to last till March. Cotton is already held in quantities in Great Britain, it said, and by stinting the supply could be made to last till the great fields of Egypt, now ldle and untiHed could be made to produce sufficient to take the place of what otherwise would be bought from the southern states. Mecats From Argentina. Meats would be bought, to large extent, it was said, from Argentina, and manufactured goods from the neutral nations of Europe. Amer- jcan exports would dwindle to the leanest figures of the leanest years, it was said, for all Europe that could import goods would import from whatever other markets it could find. Such was the dark picture held up by financiers who spoke of the possi- ble failure of the commission to es- tablish its hoped-for loan here. It is more to the interest of the United States, they said, than to that if either Great Britain or France that the mammoth credit be forthcoming. Before the commission reached New York, the belief was prevalent in some quarters here that Europe was virtualy on her knees to the United States, begging for money and that the American bankers were con- sequently, in a position to dictate the terms. Those who held this view are said to have awakened with some- what of a shock to find that the American bankers would be, to great extent, suppliants themselves for fav- orable terms. FRED CLARKE RELEASED. Pittsburg, Sept. 14,—Fred Clarke, who recently resigned as manager ol the Pittsburg National league Base- ball club, after a 'continuous service of sixteen years, today asked Barney Dreyfus, presidant of the club, tor his unconditional release, Clarke ex- plained that in his 24 years as a baseball player he had never received a release and he would like to have the document to show he had been honorably discharged from the ser- vice and to add ‘o his other souvenirs of the game. Mr. Dreyfus readily consented. large was CANAL CLEARED. . Washington, Sept. 14—The Pan- ama Canal has cleared of recent slides so that ships drawing not more than 28 feet may now navigate the waterway, according to official dlis- patches received today at the war department. IN BRITISH ARMY Honorable Artillery Co, Allied With Boston Gompany (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) London. Sept. 2.—The oldest regi- ment in the British army 1s not a part of the regular establishment, but a militia regiment, the Honourabls Ar. tillery company, which is allied to the Honorable Artillery company of Bos. ton, Both the English honorable artillery companies trace their documentary history back to Henry VIII and their legendary origin to Willlam the Red, son of the Con- queror. The London company has just celebrated its 378th anniversary, for it was on August 25, 1537, that the King's charter granted to ‘‘cer- teyne welbiloved S'rvants & Sub- glettes” the right to establish the “Guylds or Fratennities of Saint George.” The guild established an “‘Artillery of Longbowes Crosshowes and Handgonnes,” which had as its obpects “the. better increase of this o’r Realms and Maynetenance of the Science and Feate or Shooting.” In return for their patriotism the mem- bers were granted the privilege of wearing ‘‘any man'r of Imbroidery or any Cognisuance of Sylv'r * * * or any man'r of Sylks as Velvet Satten or Damaske,” and also were freed from serving on juries. Moreover, they could not be charged with murder if and American they happened to kill accidentally any trespasser during target practice in the “Fynnysbury Felds, provided they shouted a warning. Offspring in Boston. The company leased a piece of ground which became known as Artillery Garden. Other towns be- came envious and began to apply for charters, Colchester, Bristol and Yar- mouth among them, but the parent company had but one genuine off- spring, and that is the Honorable Ar- tillery company of Massachusetts, which was founded by some members of the London company who emi- grated to Boston. In 1641 the H- A. C. obtained the land they now occupy in Bunhill Fields: In a dispute as to the choos- ing of officers that arose. a compro- mise was affected by Privy couneil Since then, their captain general has been either the Prince or Wales or the king himself, During the civil war in the middle of the seventeen century, the H. A. C, took no part, although its members aided individually with King Charles. Yet they attended Cromwell’s funeral as a body. At the restoration they threw off their republicanism and ac- cepted James, Duke of York, as their captain general. The H. A. C., on James' departure to France, wel- comed with equal enthusiasm its suc- ceeding commangders, wno were Wil- liam, George of Denmark and George of Hanover. Their hearty reception so pleased King George that he sent them a donation of 500 pounds with which a new armory house was built. In their Bunhill quarters there are kept as relics the Royal warrant book, the drum major's staff of 1679 and some of the magnificent uniforms worn during the reigns of Queen Anne and George I. The Great Vellum Book, containing the names of mem- bers from 1610 to 1682, stands un- paralleled as a muster roll, as John Milton, Christopher Wren and S8amuel Peppys as well as the leading names among the royalty and nobility appear on it. The H. A. C. is not a parade organ- ization. Not only have its present members gone to the front, but also great numbers of recruits, A large number have been commissioned in other commands.

None of the men in the battery had any idea that he was coming. They were lounging and chatting as they waited. In a glance every one iden- tifled the figure with fts square chin and the white drooping mustache with the pictures they had seen in the papers. There was no need for a call to attention. The effect was like and electric shock which was every man to his place and made his backbone a steel rod. ‘““Does 8ir John French often slip up on you that way?" gasped one of the battery lieu- tenants, who was all of nineteen years old. The battery had just come out from England. It took the command- AT BERLIN FAIR The Popular Forbes Furnace will be on exhibition at the Berlin Fair, or can be seen at any time at our store.
