NO ACTION TAKEN ON BARRED ATHLETES Joint Committec Hears Case of Dis- qualified Baseball Players—Matter To Be Left To College Opinion, New Haven, Conn., Jan. decision was reached last night the Harvard-Yale-Princeton eligibil- ity committee ‘in charge of the ca: of the five Yale athletes who suspended from college athletics last fall for recovering board while play ing baseball at Quogue, L. T. It is expected that the reinstate- ment of the athletes will be left for Yale to act on and the opinion pre- vails on the Yale campus that their reinstatement will be made before the baseball season opens. The committee opened its session at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon and heard evidence on Quogue conditions for four hour The committee con- tinued its ion until 11 o’clock when it adjourned. The committee Briggs of Harvard of Princeton and Corwin, 29— included Deans and McClanahan Professor Chairman of the Yale Ath- letic Committee. Yesterday after- noon Milburn, LeGore, Pumpelly, Taston, and Rhett, the five disquali- fied players, stated their case before the committee. President Crocker of the Yale Rase- ball Association said that he believed the fault of the players were merely technical and unintentional and not in violation of any rule violating pure amaturism. William Ross Proctor, Jr Chairman of the Yale News Board, and several other undergradt ates testified in favor of the disqus fied players. President Arthur T.

Weeghman Buys Last Block of Stock from Ackerland. Chicago, Jan. 29.—All the stock of the Chicago Cubs is now owned by Chicago men. Charles Weeghman purchased the block owner by Harry Ackerland, the Cincinnati and Pitts- burgh fan, yesterday for an amount said to be nearly double the price he paid Frank Chance for it in 1912. What the price was the Cub president would not say. If Ackerland received $80,000 for his ten shares he made close to $60,- 000 on his investment in three years. In 1913 and 1914 the Cubs-paid a big dividend and also a small one last season, so it is known that Ackerland made a profitable move when he toolk the stock of Chance when the latter had his trouble with Charles W.

Important exploratory vork and pre- parations for milling have been ca: ried out at several mines in Virginia, Tennessce, Colorado, and California, but except in the case of one mine this { has not yet resulted in production. A close estimate of the production in the United States for 1915 cannot be made, but it is v exceeded 6,000 tor 2,635 tons produced in ing to D. F. Hewett, of % U. 8. Geological Survey. The shortage of ore is indicated by the rise in domes- tic prices. During 1915 ore contain- ing 50 per cent. managanese and adapted to making ferromanganese has sold as high as $22.50 per ton, which compares with §12 per tou, the price paid a few months before the war began. The shortage in high-grade ores for use in the man- ufacture of flint glass and dry batter- been keenly felt and several dry-battery plants have been forced 1o close down. One producer in San County Colorado, reports the sale of a small tonnage of ore con- taining 80 per cent. mangancse dio- nd less than 1 per cent iron, at $65 a ton f. o. b. at point of ship- ment. hington, mang- con- , as compared with 1914, accord- Consequence of War, One consequence of the war has been the great change in the sources of imports into the United States. For the three years prior to 1915, India supplied slightly more than one- third of the omported tonnage which averaged 309,682 tons vear, while Russia and azil supplied about equal parts of the remainder. During the first ten months of 1915, Brazil supplied 181,- 258 tons out of the total of 192~ 286 tons imported. The receipts from India were about one-twelfth normal and from Russia, negligible. In other words, receipts from Brazil were more than twice the average for the three preceding years and partly made up for the failure of supplies from Russia and India. The most recent information up to June, 1915, shows that although the Indain mines are being operated, the production is about one-fourth that of the pre- ceding year. Even under normal conditions in the United States, about one-half of the supply of ferromanganese is im- ported and the other half is manufac- tured largely from imported ores. The restrictions placed by England upon the exports of ferromanganese great- 1y reduced the imports for the first las of v doubtful that it | 1915, although they were normal during the next three months. For the first nine months of 1915 the imports were 40,863 tons, compared with 62,333 tons for the same period of 1914 and 99,752 tons for the same period of 1913. This shortage has forced two important steel producers, Jones & Loughlin Steel Co., of Pittsburgh, Pa. and Maryland Steel Co., Sparrows Poinf, Md., to devote furnaces to the man- ufacture of ferromanganese. This is noteworthy because most of the do- mestice ferromanganese has hereto- tore been made by two subsidiaries of the United States Steel Corpora- tion, although several more firms have occasionally contributed. During the year the price of ferromanganese has almost steadily risen from §$70 a ton in January to $115 a ton in De- cember. Small lots are reported to have been sold at $120 a ton in De- | cember. Looks to Foreign Countries. Although the activity of several mines may enable the production of 1915 to be trebled or quadrupled in 1916, there is little prospect that do- im- six months of mestic deposits will make more portant contributions of ore. Manu- facturers of ferromanganese, as weli dry batterles and flint glass, must continue to look to foreign coun- tries for most of their ore supplies. Unless important new sources of ore are found, there is little prospect for reduction of prices of ores and fer- romanganese to the average of pre- vious years until the end of the Eu- ropean war. Efforts are being made to conserve during refining the man- ganese contained in raw pig iron, thereby reducing the amount of fer- romanganese that must be added to make steel. If these efforts are suc- cussful, they will mark an important advance in eteel metallurgy.
