NEW, BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, JANUARY 6, 1916. 9 WERE FAST IN CONN. BUT SLOWER IN MASS. Former Eastern AssOciation Players Found Going Fast—Jake Warner | Batted Hard. Lawrence, Mass., Jan 6.—The official averages of the New England lrague for the season of 1915, com- piled by W. P. Peters, have just been released for publication, and show rinks in the “stee! city” now, hence the university candidates should not Jack opportunity for practice. Fif- teen to twenty candidates have re- sponded already to the call of C. 8. Miller, director of athletics, The team will compete in a league comprising Carnegie Tech, Yale and Princeton alumni teams and the Pittsburgh ath- letic association. The Cleveland American lcague baeball club will not be sold to Cleve- land capitalists, but will go to outside buyers. This announcement was made by George P. Steel, representing the that the pennant which Portland sqeured through the team piloted hy Hugh Duffy is the first that the Maine city has had to crow over since 1901, 2 lapse of fourteen years. Rowland Barrows of Lowell, former JTersey City outfielder, was the leading swathemith of the league, having an Average of .332 in 114 games. Parker wf Lowell was second with .325 in twenty-four games. Chick Farrell of Portland, also former Jersey City man who has been signed by the Giants, is really second, with .315. Jake Warner, formerly of Waterbury nnd New London, was fourth best hatsman, hitting .304 for Lawrence, | while Luyster, also of Lawrence and a former Hartford product, Was next, two points shy of the charmed circle. Triggs, formerly of New London, bat- ted .271 for Manchester, and Gus Gar- della, an old Hartford favorite, | clammed the pill at a .270 clip for| Worcester. Jack Hoey, another of the pennant | winning Hartford combination of 1913 fell off in the New England league and only batter .260 for Lynn and TMitchburg, while Walter Ahearn, an- | other New London player, working for Lowell, hit for the same mark. Recker, the New London outflelder, ¥'ho was sold by Arthur Irwin to the Ciants, and who is to be farmed out, had mn average of .250 with Lewiston, | while Prysock, one of Jack Zeller's Pittsfield club, had an average ot .236. | IKcegan and Young, former Springfield | players, had marks of .219 and .218, respectively, and Mickey Flaherity, a'nother Pony, hit for .216. Mickey Keliher, a hard hitter with the Sena- tors, fell down miserably with Wor- cester and was let go in the middle of the season, his average being .195. Cabrera of Worcester, another player from this section, also failed to do his | share in that league, and hit for only | .150 in thirty-four games. Portland was strong in pitching tal- snt, and this helped them in the main to the pennant. Martin of Duffy's outfield led the league with ten straight wins, while Doc More, a for- mer Springfield twirler, and one of the hurlers who always worried Hartford, renked second with eighteen wins and eight losses for a percentage of .692. Thompson of Lawrence, the twirler whose work practically beat New London in the New England series of | 1914, was third with .692 for fifteen | wictories and seven defeats. He has | Leen drafted by the Pacific Coast | lezgue. Lowell led the league in club batting and ranked third in fielding, hut lost so many close games that the best it could do was to rank fifth in | the standing, Lawrence led in team tielding. FOLWELL WILL HAVE THREE ASSISTANTS Wharton Probable Line Coach and Gaston May Teach Scrubs—Third 4 Man Not Named. Philadelphia, Jan. 6.—Charles Wharton and Harold Gaston will be chosen assistants to Bob Folwell, new head coach of the Pennsylvania foot- ball team for 1916. One more as- sistant will be selected later, but the ! man has not been decided upon as vet. Neither Wharton nor Gaston Kave been officially appointed, but | both Folwell and Wharton Sinkler, chairman of the football committee, declared today that these men would be offered the positions. Wharton was line coach during the i past season, in which the line was the only dependent part of the Quaker machine. After the Dartmouth game | dast season Wharton declared that he was through with coaching, but it is believed that he will reconsider his de- cision. There was considerable fric- tion between the members of the board of coaches and this was un- doubtedly what caused him to an-| nounce his retirement. Gaston will again have charge of the scrubs. It was generally believed that Bill Hollenback would be appointed Fol- well's first assistant, but the new head coach intimated vesterday that the football committee is opposed to this | plan and that another man will be se- | iected to handle the backfield candi- dates. Just who this man will be Folwell refused to sa In talking over the situation this afternoon at the training house I"olwell stated that he expects to sign his contract Fri- dav. asked only for a one year contract,” he declared, “because T am | corgident that I can make good in that time. I will take blame for a poor season and if we have a first rate team I expect the credit. T know little about the material at Penn, but you cannot tell me an in- stigution that has 7,000 undergradu- ates cannot turn out a great team. SPORTS TERSELY WRITTEN Two more universities are about o include hockey i ntheir Winter ath- letic activity, these being the Univer- sity of Maine and the University of Pittsburgh. Maine will take it up this year only in inter-class form, but, ¥ much interest is shown and the ma- terial looks at all strong, a 'varsity seven will be selected next vear, and a schedule of intercollegiate games arranged. One great advantage for Maine is that it rarely will suffer for lack of ice. This year there was a thickness of eight inches of ice be- fore Christmas on a stream of run- ning water near the college. A rink has been constructed on the campus fér the inter-class games. The uni- versity of Pittsburgh is adopting senting the Harvard clup, | Athletic association, hockey once again after a lapse of veral years. There are two indoor Bankers' committee which has charge of the affairs of Owner C. W. Somers, and which has insisted that the club be sold. An effort by members of the Cleveland Athletic club to form a syndicate and purchase the club failed because the syndicate refused to pay the price asked by the bank- ers, which is sald to be $560,000. Chicago's second six-day bicycle race this season will start on Febru- ary 2, Instead of riding continuous- 1y, however, the entrants will only race twelve hours out of every twen- ty-four. Many of the riders who com- peted in the Madison Square Garden event will race there. The race will be decided thout the sanction of the Natlonal Cycling association. Coach Orton of the university of Pennsylvania. will call out the track and fleld candidates tvaay. There was an informal gathering of athlotes at the gymnasium on Monday, when eighty men reported to Dr. Orton. These comprised 'varsity and fresh- men, and Dr, Orton was well pleased over the turnout. He says there more good material this year than at any time since he has been coach, To avoid a conflict with the Yale- Princeton football game sceduled for Nov. 18 at Princeton, the Dartmouth- Pennsylvania game will be playved in Philadelphia on Nov. 11, while the game with Michigan at Ann Arbo originally scheduled for that date, wi be payed in Ann Arbor on the 18th. This transfer of dates was approved at a meeting of the board of direc- tors of the university of Pennsylvan- ia’s athletic association, at which tne football schedule was ratified. Ted Lewis of England and “Kid" Graves of New York have signed to box at Milwaukee on Jan. 17 in a ten-round no-decision contest adver- tised for the welterweight champion- ship of the world.

According ment to the Captain Chickering of Pennsylvan- fa’s crew is trving out 150 youngsters for the various boats before Coach Wright arives from Canada to take charge of Penn.s rowing, when he will call out the ’varsity men. Wright expects to use a stroke which is an English and American combination. He expects to teach a body swing which is a compromise between the long swing of the English and the shore swing of the American styles. He will introduce the long slide in- stead of the short slide which Cor- nell, Columbia and Syracuse are us- ing at the present time. All of ‘Wright's crews have been using the thole pins instead of the swivel oar- locks, and will continue thelr use at Penn. The Red and Blue crews have been using the thole pins ever since the advent of Vivian Nickalle three vears ago, More than 500 entries have been received for the interscholastic and A, A. U. events in the annual games of St. John’s College at the Thir- teenth Regiment Armory, Brooklyn, on Saturday night. Willie Gordon, metropolitan mile champion, will start in the 100-yard handicap at scratch. The Seventy-first Infantry will hold its annual games at its Thirty-fourth Street Armory on Feb. 3 The events cpen to A. A.

Yerkes of Newton led in the scoring, making ten points for the winning team. There will be a meeting of the hox- ing committee of the Metropolitan as- sociation of the A. A. U. on Monday at 21 Warren street, to make arrange- ments for holding the metropolitan boxing championships. The date se- lected will probably be toward the end of March, about a week or more be- fore the national boxing champion- ships, to be held in Boston on April 3-4. SAYS ACID STOMACH CAUSES INDIGESTION of Hy(lmr‘hl:;' Acid Sours the Food and Forms Gases. Excess Undigested food delayed in the stomach decays, or rather, ferments the same as food left in the open air, says a noted authority. He also tells us that indigestion is caused by hyper- acidity, meaning, there is an excess of hvdrochloric acid In the stomach which prevents complete digestion and starts food fermentation. Thus everything eaten sours in the stom- ach much like garbage sours in a can, forming acrid fluids and gases which inflate the stomach like a toy balloon. Then we feel a heavy, lumpy misery in the chest, we belch up gas, we eructate sour food or have heart- burn, flatulence, water-brash or nausea, He tells us to lay aside tive aids and instead get pharmacy four ounces of Jad salts and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast and drink while It is effervescing and further- more, to continue this for a week. While relief follows the first dose, it is important to neutralize the acid- ity, to remove the gas-making mass, start the liver, stimulate the kidneys and thus promote a free flow of pure digestive juices. Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon Jjuice, combined with lithia and sodi- um phosphate. This harmless salts is used by thousands of people for stomach rrouble with excellent re- sults. ALL NAVY GRAFT HAVE FULL CREWS But We Must Look to Future, Daniels Declares all diges- from any New York, Jan. 6.—There a ships of the United States account re navy of commission on of a shortage of men, according to Secre- tary There ships in commission the secretary says. The question now is one of getting men to man ships which will be added to the navy within the next year or two, and for this reason Congress has been asked to authorize an increase of 11,600 men to the na s person- nel. These statements are made by Sec- retary Daniels in a letter to Dwight Braman, president of the Law and Order union, who recently wrote the secretary directing attention to an a parent inconsistency between his statement that the navy had a large waiting list and press despatches from ‘Washington that veral large ships had been unable to leave port on ac- count of a lack of men. Only 0 Men, “Under the the no out Daniels. also are more than formerly, sufficient law, secretary savs enlist for in his letter, ‘‘the only 51,500 plus one man each sailor serving sentence under general court-martial or assigned to duty with the naval militia. This maximum has been in effect since 1912, When the present administra- tion came to Washington there were only 47,347 enlisted, so that the navy was about 000 men short of the number alowed by law. Since that time we have made up the defi- cfency. “Today we have volled. We are as fully enlisted as possible under the law, and we have nearly 6,000 more men with. the colors thanformerly Secretary Daniels explains that like every other navy, our does not main- tain in full commission during peace every warship on the roster or every ship that would be in commission in time of war., Instead of a number of ships being out of commission be- cause of a shortage of men, as has been stated, the fact is, he avers, that there are today no more ships and probably fewer in reserve than two and a half years ago while on the other hand there are at least thirty or forty more ships in full commis- sion, navy may men, 53,011 men en- British Navy. “Just prior to the outbreak of the European Daniels writes, ‘“the organization of the Brit- ish navy that one-half of war,” Secretary provided its battleships should De in full com- | mission and the remaining half in re- serve. The organization of the Ger- man navy was along the same lines. In our own navy the general board has recommended that all battleships of fifteen vea of age be kept in commission. ery one of onr hattle- ships within that classification, ex- cepting the North Dakota, which laid up because of poor engines, in commission, and in addition there are a number of pre-dreadnoughts, All the vessels now in reserve are maintained in condition for immedi- ate service. ““The last congress authorized the organization of a naval reserve, some- thing for which the navy has been striving for vears and in time it will provide the necessary crews for man- ning such serviceable =hips as are in reserve. This act has already con- tributed largely to the retention of ex- perienced men in the service, so that today we are reenlisting 85.5 per cent, of experienced men in place of the 54 per cent. which were reenlisted in 1912.” Our navy.” he concludes, ‘today is fully recruited and we have in com- i on all ships that are needed in commission. In order to man cer- tain new ships which will be com- pleted in the next vear or two and to provide crews for those which go in- to reserve, I am recommending to this congress an increase of 11,500 men'. | CONGRESS MAY BALK | PAN-AMERICAN PLAN Lansing Proposes Binding Twenty Repuublics for Republican Gov't.

In addition to these two important items the proposed convention, as al- ready bind the republics of the hemisphere to submit troubles explained, would disputes, including boundary controversies affecting the in- | except dependence of the countries, to settle- ment by diplomacy, arbitration or by | investigating committee. | The treaty also includes a general | agreement that exportations of arms | will be prohibited except to the legally ! constituted Governments and that | neutrality laws will be adopted against the operation of filibustering expedi- tions.

The disclosurc that Secretary ress is Interested. interest in Mr. Lan- as Lan- arrangement of this character and territorial integrity and ment to maintain a of government, has led to a desire for more complete information as to the administration’s purposes before members of congress are willing to subscribe to the entire proposal. In fact it is already apparent that Mr. Lansing will encounter stubborn opposition in the Senate to the two latter proposals. Heavy Burden on As viewed by many congress these two prospects throw a heavy burden upon United States in addition to which it is already carrying in main- taining the Monroe Doctrine. Any violation by one country of the territorial integrity of another would lead to complications in which TUnited States as a party to the gen- cral treaty would be involved and in which, as the strongest nation, would have to take the leading mESNT T other words the treaty apparently would force the United States, if the convention was to be maintained, to step in and prevent any war of con- quest. Trouble Breeder for United States. The provision in the proposed treaty which provides for the maintenance of a republican form of government, | also is believed by many members of congress to be a trouble breeder for | the United States. The chief objection voiced, how- | ever, is against committing the United States in advance to a policy which the future may show to be very em- Larrassing, especially in connection with the interests of this government in the neighborhood of the Panama Canal. The new treaty proposed by Secre- tary Lansing gives expression to his ideea already publicly voiced that the republics of the Western Hemisphere should stand together in the enforce- ment of that doctrine, The treaty which Seceretary Lansing now proposes | will, he believes, make for peace and friendship among the American re- publi and by so doing promote the policy of “one for all and all for one,” as against any attempts at European aggression.

Many in Washington doubt whether | there is any likelihood of such a treaty being drawn and ratified by all the American republics. The general impression is that the Administration has made this move to demonstrate impressively the good faith of Ameri- | :an officials, who have said that the TUnited States does not scek any ter- ritorial aggrandizement. Suspicion on the part American countries as to the ns and ambitions of the “tates in the way of territorial expan- | sion southward has been the greatest | handicap to the relations of this gov- crnment with the South and Central American countries.
