Calibre of Mclnnis, Collins, Barry and Baker is Proved It J. Franklin Baker, of the Philadeiphia Athletics, adheres to his determination to drop base- ball in favor of farming, Connie Mack’s famous $100,000 infield will pass into that portion of history re- served for the national sport. TFol- lowing closely upon the sale of Eddie Collins to the Chicago White Sox it appears as though this remarkable combination of players was broken bevond reassembling or rebuilding. McInnis and Barry remain, but the probability of finding among the Ath- letic recruits two players capable of filling the places of Baker and Collins and bringing the infleld machine up to its previous standard appears extreme- ly remote. A quartette of players of the cal- ibre of McInnis, Collins Barry and Baker playing for several years in succession in the same positions upon the same team is a combination not duplicated in a baseball generation. Manager Macj; Was some years in as- sembling this hard hitting accurate fielding and throwing machine and it was not until the season of 1911 that the Athletics inner line of defense be- gan to work in its most effective ma ner. Collins joined the team in 1907 and was followed by Barry a later. In 1909 McInnis and Baker also donned Athletic uniforms and the $100.000 infield was in the making. Mclnnis was still shifting about the MeInnis, 1b. Collins, 2b.

In 1910 Mc- Innis succeeded Davis and from that time until the close of the world's se- ries of last season the auartette work ed regularly. except when illness or injuries tempirarily broke up the com- bination. It was between 1910 and 1914 that the Athletics traveled their fastest as their record of winning four out of five pennants shows. The cali- ber of the quartet is proved by the averages of the players in both batting and fielding for the period between 1909 and 1914. The regular season record was: Batting. .311: fielding, .956 and the world’s series figures: Batting, 27i: fielding. 938. McInnis showed an average for five vears of .31§ and .977: Collins for six years averaged .35 at bat and .963 in the field: Barry in a similar period hit and fielded .936, while Balker's 1909 to 1914 was .32 h Collins and Baker and Mclnnis are left as a nucleus about which Mack must rebuild his infleld. As batters Collins and Baker outshine McInnis and Bar- ry for their combination average is .333 to .28%. 1In fielding, however. Barry and _McInnis average .9355 to .9485 for Baker and Collins.

Coach Jack Moakley, of the Cornell University track and field team, Is working on a chart showing the seven ages of the athlete. Moakley has not vet completed his dlagrams but is sure that Shakespear's efforts in a some- what similar, direction will be outclass- ed when he finishes his work. Moak- ley names bhaseball, football, track and field athletics for the vouth and men between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five. From twenty-five thirty the athlete should begin to drop the more strenuous pastimes for those of less exhaustiing effect. For men be- tween the ages of thirty and forty the Cornell coach strongly recommends tennis. From forty onward he pre- scribes golf. Asseciation Football. The final match for the profession association football championship of England, popularly known as the cup tie match will not be played in Lon- don this spring, but in one of the provincial _cities. Professional as- sociation foottall is the game of the British masses, like professional base- ball in the Urited States. The game to decide which team shall hou: the Eng- lish cup is even more important than the English-Scottish championship. It usually held on the Crystal Palace field, and draws a crowd, in normal times, of about 150,000 persons, of whoni perhaps a third are unable to set a sight of the field and leave the grounds. While it is doubtful if these attend- ance figures will be reached this spring the final match will not lack patron- age. Notwithstanding the war 918,- 000 spectators paid $128,565 to witness the forty-eizht matches in the first two rounds of the cup ties. This is roughly fifty per cent of last season’s attendance at the same stage for the gate receipts at that time amounted {to $221,500. Kahanamoku a Great Swimmer. General interest in swimming has received a big impetus in Austraiasla as a result of the tour of competition by Duke Paca Kahanamoku, the Ha- ralian swimmer, who won several events for the United States in 1912 Olympic games. The Antipodes has been looked upon as the center of speed swimming for some vears by the visit of Kahanamoku entirely upset the principles and traditions of the sport in Australasia. Many of the “Down Under” swimming experts were FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL SATURDAY’S MARKET IRREGULAR Movement of Prices Upward at Open- ing, Downward at Close. New York, Feb. 27.—Irregular prices and moderate trading were the features of today's two hour session on the stock exchange. The movement was upward at the outset, followed by gen- eral declines and uneven close. Amal- gamated Copper was strongest of the active list, its rise being accompanied by rumors that large orders for the metal had been received from abroad. Other speculative favorites, including United States Steel, the Pacifics and coalers, made only fractional changes either way. Foreign exchange was easier, the rate for London hills being slightly under yesterday’s final quotations, while remittances on Germany repeat- eed recent low record figures. It is expected that the coming week will bring developments of importance to the various markets for exchange, with further gold imports frem Canada. Weekly trade reviews refer to re- newed expansion of business, partic- ularly in the southwest, with increas- ing promise for winter wheat pros- pects. Retalil trade in most sections is expected to be stimulated by the first indications of spring weather. Foreign news of interest included despatches of a probable Swiss lcan by our bankers. The amount men- tioned is relatively small and if car- ried out may take the form of treas- ury notes. A more cheerful tone pre- vailed in London’s markets, but the volume of operations there, especially in Amcricans, was little more than nominal. This week’s bank statement fulfilled expectations by showing few changes of importance. Reserves in bank vaults underwent small contraction, with a correspondingly light decrease in ex- cess reserves, Announcement that Western Paci- fic would probably default on its bond interestgand that receivership proceed- ings would be instituted against the road excited little interest by reason of the fact that such action had been foreshadowed. Today’s bond market was irregular %fl: total sales (par value) of $1,133,- U. S. registered 2s declined 1-4 per cent. on call during the week. $TOCKS. Chic. & Alt pr . Chic. Gt W. pr C. M. & SL_P.

The Kansas Newark dispute occupied most of the time of the opening session and the legal side of the proposition was discussed.

CAPTAINS OF BIG THREE AGAINST NUMBERING PLAYERS. Subject Will Be Discussed at Second Football Meeting. That one of the subjects of the r cent conference between Captain Glick of the Princeton eleven, Captain Mahan of the Harvard footbali team and Cap- tain Wilson of the Yale kickers was the numbering of players, and that it will come up for discussion again at a second meeting to be held very short- 1y, has been learned since the gather- ing early last week. A number of things came up_during the meeting relative to rule changes. the rights of the coaches, numbering of the players and other details, every- thing being discussed in an amicable way and most informal Tt was not announced at whose instigation the meeting was called, but on all sides great satisfaction was expressed that such a conference could be held, for it is apparent to everyone that these sort of get-together affairs at which things can be settled will obviate the possi- bility of misunderstandings arising during the last few davs before big matches. No official confirmation of Pudge Heffelfinger's appointment as coach of the Yale linemen has been announced as vet, in fact evervone connected with the football situation is silent on the matrer. Heffeifinger is saying nothing, and Captain Wilson 1s mum, too. SOCCER GAMES ABROAD. Southampton Lost to Hull City in Eng- lish Cup Champions Hull City trounced Southampton in Saturday. having things all their own way and never having to extend them- selves to win. The first league brought out some very good games, the best being between Bolton Wanderers and West Bromwich, a drew well repre- senting. the game. Liverpoo! easily accounted for Burnley and if it had not been for the good goalkeeping of Burnley, the score would have been tigger. Oldham Athletic drew further ahead in the first division, entertaining on their own grounds Tottenham Hot- spurs, which is rubbing the bottom of the table pretty closely. Derby coun- ty also strengthened its hold on the second division lead in a close match at home, while in the Southern league West Ham Inited failed to add_to its lead, being shut 6ut by the Bristol Rovers, which has no chance of im- proving its present standing far down the column.

A number of the mem- bers spoke in favor of holding the convention in this city as it is con- niently reached from all parts of the state and because this event has not been held here in some years. Quite a number of the members. however, seemed to favor Norwich for the next convention and spoke in favor of that place. The decision as to where the convention will finally be held has been left to Mr. Lee and he has stated that he will announce his preference in a very short time. Mr, Lee is one of the most popular fourth degree men of the order and quite a large delegation of his friends and other members of the organiza- tion were present to hear his talk.
