SPORTING NOTES | Billy Gleason of Holyoke is shaping hp well at third base for Lynn. Norman Elberfield, former big leag- » has signed with Chattanooga. Bill Donovan is praised for making he Yankees think while they play. New York boasts of two of the great- est base runners in the game. Maisel of the Yanks and Lobert of the Giants, Philadelphia fans hope Alexander, Mayer and Demaree may do the Ru- Holph, James and Tyler stunt this ear. Manager Herzog of Cincinnati is a big favorite with the home fans. He ets an ovation nearly every time he oes to bat. President Lannin of the Red Sox sure that his team will make lots pt noise just as soon as the pitchers t into form. “If the Athletics are to figure in the ennant race,” says the Philadelphia “their battery work must im- prove 100 per cent.” The Phillies are hustlers They have rted in fine fashion and against ood clubs, too. Manager Pat Moran s saying nothing, but is getting re- ta. Edafe Murphy began to slow up at third- and that is probably the rea- on Billy Kopf of New Britain was tried at third base by the Athletics re pently. The backstopping of the Athletics ince Schang was hurt, has been so boor that one writer remarks some an Athletics’ catcher may catch no-steal game. Manager Lee Magee of the Brook- n Feds is a very valuable player, but he certainly is a hot one for get- fing in trouble. Magee will have to nend his ways or his team will suf- er. 3. Franklin Baker will play with the fpland team of the Delaware Couny He has been made captain. But even the Upland team thinks he o wants to get in some pracice be- ore going back to the Athletics, Jim Clarkin of Hartford says the Hartford, Springfield and New Haven lubs will take their row to the courts, necessary. But he adds that this nove will not be necessary, for he hinks the Eastern accociation will fot attempt to run baseball in any of he three cities.

S. in Opening Game— Score 13 to 6. In the opening series of baseball games between St. Mary’s and Greene- ville Grammar school, the St. Mary’s team walked away with a_victory hands down on the Cranberry Wednes- day afternoon by a score of 13 to 6. Downing pitched for the victors and had all kinds of stuff on the ball and fanned 12 opposing batsmen. Reily, a recruit catcher, showed up in good style, and the fielding of Carter and Riordan was the feature of the game. Ricketts played the best game for the Greeneville Grammar. The prospects of a good season are in evidence at St. Mary’s, and under the direction of Coach_Billy Bowen the boys will make a good record. The_teams lined up as follows: St. Mary’s — Reily cc, Downing D, Driscoll 1b, Carter 2b, Carey 3b, Rior- dan ss, Bellefleur 1f, Carroll cf, Liberty If. Greeneville—Finlayson ¢, Tilley and Ricketts p, Eaton 1b, McGill 2b, Rick- etts, Tilley 3b, Sheahan .es, Hoar If, Dilworth cf, Dawley rf. Joe Sullivan umpired satisfactorily to all. The St. Mary’s are Gesirous of arranging series with St. Patrick's, ‘Broadway, West Chelsea, Sacred Heart and other fast nines. TAFTVILLE FOOTBALL CLUB SIGNS NEW PLAYER. Comes from Oldham, England—H. Fin- layson to Play in State Finals. Already the Taftvile association football team is preparing for the fall series, which has The Bulletin cup at stake. They have signed H. Woodger, a star man from Oldham, England, who has just arrived here and comes highly recommended. The management have received a letter from the New Britain team ask- ing for the services of Goal Tender Hugh Finlayson to play in the finals against New Haven. The New Britain Y. M. G. A. Will Conduct Marathon Race Cup for First Prize—Boys’ Running Race—Only. Local Runners Can Compete in management were attracted by the playing of Finlayson in the game last Sunday at Charter Oak park. ANOTHER TRIPLE TIE IN INTERCOLLEGIATE SWIMMING. Yale Will Ask for Swim-off of Tie— Delegates Will Meet Soon to Discuss the Question. Columbla’s defeat of the Pennsylva- nia swimmers last Saturday establish- ed for a second time a triangular tie in the race for intercollegiate team honors, these two and Yale now hav- ing won four meets apiece and lost two. It was the general bellef before the start of the post-season series that if no decisive result was reached the question of supremacy would be left unsettled owing to the lateness of time. The Yale watermen, however, will insist on a swim-off, invoking the league rule which states that a tie in the championship tournament must be split. They are confident that with Charles Hoadley, who was unable to compete in the last clash against Pennsylvania, they can not only turn the tables on the Quakers, but also beat Columbia again, thus capturing the title._ The Morningsiders are quite as eager to face the rival teams once more, but feel doubtful of the attitude of the authorities. They hope, though, that the faculty will take the same position it did a few weeks ago and vote for the upholding of the swim- ming association rules, which call for another series of meets. The Philadelphians, on the other hand, seem willing to let matters stand as they are. The surprise fur- nished by Columbia in pressing into service the crack fancy diver, Wilson, who_took the measure of both their candidates in the recent fixture, has somewhat discouraged them. Still, they are not likely to_ forfeit if the undergraduate board indicates that the tournament will be continued in the near future. A meeting of the delegates will be called immediately to discuss the question, and it is probable that the Elis will carry their point. In such an event, the pools of the New York A. C. and City college will be used for at least the Yale-Columbia and Yale- Pennsylvania meets. EASTERN STA:TUS WILL BE KNOWN AFTER SATURDAY. President O’Rourke Expects Fran- chises - Will Be Awarded at the Meeting. in Bridgeport. President James H. O'Rourke of the Eastern association has notified the club owners and those who are bid- ding for franchises in _ Hartford, Springfield, New Haven, Waterbury, Danbury and Stamford that he has FINANGIAL AND COMMERGIAL MARKET WAS IRREGULAR. Periods_of ‘Relative Daliness in Strik- ing Contrast:to Recent Sessions. New York, April 21.—The most nota- ble feature of today's irregular stock market was its frequent periods of relative dullness, in triking contrast to Tecent feverish sessions. Despite - the apparent falling away of business, however, transactions again exceeded 1,000,000 shares for the seventh con- secutive full session. 3 On the surface there was indubitable signs that what is vaguely known as the substantial interests, including a large proportion of the- professional element, had renewed operations on the selling side under cover of spas- modic gains in the specialties. Rock Island was once more a disturbing factor, declining below its minimum price of the previous session and con- stituting one of the most active issues in the list. Heaviness in this stock found immediate reflection in the southwestern group of railroads, which fell three to six points, pre- sumably on apprehension that these properties might be handicapped in their impending financial = readjust- ments. . United States Steel was under heavy pressure and early in the session re- linquished leadership to Amalgamated Copper, which, with allied stocks, con- stituted the most impressive features of the list. The further advance of the metal shares was concurrent with yet another rise in the quoted price of that commodity, coupled with cir- cumstantial reports that the British government had virtually acquired control of all the available supply in this market. Steel's failure to move with other leaders was ascribed to authoritative trade advices which confirmed Chair- man Gary’s recent statement and pointed out that production was still in excess of demand, despite the recent placing of large equipment orders. London reported a buoyant tone for our_securities, but that did not pre- vent further selling for foreign ac- count here. Other developments touching upon the foreign situation included weakness in German ex- change and an easier tendency to re- mittances on Rome. Total sales of stocks amounted to 1,010,000 shares. Trading in bonds marked a high record for more than a year. A very considerable part of the day's busi- ness was in New York Central deben- ture sixes at a further advance. Total sales, par value, aggregated $7,550,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. STOCKS.

The session will begin at 2.30 o’clock. At this meeting the association will award franchises to those who pre- sent the best propositions. Applicants will probably be guaranteed that they will not suffer any legal action on the part of Clarkin, Carey and Cameron, the three magnates who forfeited thelr franchises and thereby did their best to wreck the league. The answer of the national commission to their ap- peal, following closely upon the sweep- ing decision of the national board, has taken them off their pins. They didn't think it could be done. No one has any sympathy for the three directors. They had plenty of warning, and the course they took was adopted deliberately and arbitrarily, the ideat being to force the remaining three directors to their way of think- ing. When they found that the oppo- sitlon was not to be forced they floun- dered about helplessly. The life of the Eastern association now depends upon_the meeting Satur- day. President O'Rourke says that there is every indication that the league will start early in May with at least six clubs. The New Haven franchise will probably be taken over by_Mickey Flynn. Barney Gerard, the burlesque pro- moter, who was negotiating for the Bridgeport club a month ago, says he is still anxious to buy and that he will do so as soon as Secretary Reddy is able to show him a league. Gerard promises the fans a club that will never be far from the tod of the ladder if he takes the helm. GAMES SCHEDULED TODAY. National Boston_at Philadeiphta. New York at Broklyn. Chicago at §t.

New York, April 21.—The Philadel- phia Nationals made a clean sweep of their series with New York, winning the fourth game by a score of 6 to 1. It was the sixth straight victory for Philadelphia and the fifth consecutive defeat for McGraw’s former champions. George Chalmers, who went south with the New York team this spring and was permitted to sign yesterday with Philadelphia, pitched against his train- ing camp associates and held them to two singles.

Tigers Won by One Tally. Detroit, Mich., April 21.—Rallying in the eighth and ninth innings, the De- troit Tigers won from Chicago today, 4 to 3, and made a clean sweep of the four-game series. Russell was invinci- ble until the eighth. When the Detroit half of that inning began Jennings' men were three runs behind. A triple by Bush, Young's infield out and doubles by Cobb and Crawford pro- duced two runs. Kavanagh's single, Russell's wild throw and Fuller's in- field hit filled the bases. Bush walked, forcing in Kavanagh, and the win- ning run was scored when Young beat out an infield hit. Score: Chicago ab Quintan.rt 5 Bush,ss Young.

Sport to Be On Five Years' Trial Un- der Several Restriction: By unanimous vote of the Univer- sity council, football has been restor- ed to Columbia Tuesday afternoon. The sport by the resolutions adopted will be placed on a five-year trial basis. Many restrictions have been thrown around the inauguration of the sport and it will be necessary for the un- dergraduates and alumni to live up to the spirit of these regulations if the game is to come to stay. The Co- lumbia men agree that they will not raise any objections to the regulations within the five-year period. It is an- ticipated that the studénts will be too glad to receive half a loaf rather than none to again antagonize the authori- tles with any objections to their plans under which the game is restored. The action on the part of the council came after a carefully planned movement which had for its founda- tion the convincing of the authori- ties of the sincerity of the under- graduates in their petitions for the reinstatement of the game and their willingness to support it. Work will start immediately in_the arranging of a schedule for the Blue and White team next fall. A manager will be elected and negotiations will be opened at once with the managers of the teams of local colleges with the hope that a game with Columbia can be squeezed in somewhere, The task is a diMcult one, owing to the fact that the schedules of all the college teams have been completed and more or lees readjustment would be found necessary to admit Columbia to their lists. ~ Yale Trimmed Columbi: New Haven, Conn., April 21.—Yale's baseball team defeated Columbia_to- day, 8 to 2, in & lifeless game. Yale scored six runs in the first inning by timely hitting, aided by poor_flelding on the part of the visitors.

Repre- If King George allows the English Derby to be run at Epsom Downs this year America may be represeated in the famous classic. August Belmont, Harry Payne Whitney, Herman B. Duryea, Thomas F. Ryan, Louis Win ans and Charles Carroll are the Americans who hove eligibles for the big event. Mr. Belmont’s candidate is Danger Rock, by Rock Sand-Delusion, which is a full brother to Defendum. Danger Rock, tralnedby J. Watson, finished second to Major Hall Walker's Let Fly in the Exeter Plate at Newmarket last July. Let Fly, by the way, is one of the Derby choices of which King George's Friar Marcus appears to be the most formidable. | The Whitney candidates are six in number, but Trainer Jack Joyner is grooming only two of them for the Derby. They are Purdey, and English bred colt by Fowling Piece—Lady Hamburg, and Old Broom, a colt by Broomstick—Rose of Dawn. Neither won a race in the two year old events last season. Vanite, a colt by Ogden-Veil, bred by John E. Madden in Kentucky, is the leading candidate of Mr. Winans, who bought him last fall. Vanite won_a stake race at Alexander Park in the fall, but was beaten in four other events. Mr. Winans has two other eligibles, Sir Rupert, a son of the great Sir Martin, which, it will be remembered, Zfell in the 1909 Derby, and a colt by Ogden, which is a half brother to King James. BASEBALL BRIEFS. Detroit has sent Pitcher Karr to the San Francisco club. Connie Mack says his pitchers will keep the Athletics up in the race. The Athletic players think that with Baker in the. lineup they would win the pennant. Banta, one of Springfleld’s pitchers early last season, is now with a New York semi-pro club. Johnny Evers will be back in the game in less than two weeks, accord- ing to Manager Stallings. The Philadelphia Record raps C. Mack for selling Eddie Collins and for not being more liberal with Baker. One of the club owners in this sec_ tion _continually howls for_control of baseball by the scribes. What's the game? ‘Walter Johnson and Grover Cleve- land Alexander, -two of the greatest pitchers of the day, have yet to pitch a no-hit game.

This proposition of dimming the head lamps of automobiles in order to reduce the light for city driving or when the car is left standing seems to be a puzzle to most people. “To make the matter clear, suppose that there are two tubs to be filled with water and that a separate pipe carries the water to each tub. The tubs will receive a certain amount of water within a given time. One of two methods may be used to reduce the amount of water flowing into the tubs. ‘Both tubs may be filled from the same_pipe and the other pipe’ turned off. In this method less water is used in the same time that both pipes were flowing. The second method is to al- low the water to flow into the tubs through the two pipes and cut holes in the pipes so that part of the water in each pipe may leak out. In either case the amount of water reaching the tubs will be less than in the first case. ‘Now the electric current behaves in the same manner. The head lamps are the tubs and the wires the pipes. The electric current is_the water flow- ing through the pipes. When the lamps are burning at the full intensity, cur- rent is coming to each one through separate wires. The only way to make an electric Jamp give less light is to cut down the current flowing through it. The wires may be cut the same as holes were cut in the pipe, and resistance or coils of wire connected in to use up part of the current so that less current will reach the lamps. Obviously more current is being used when the lights are dimmed by this method than were the lights burning brightly, but this system can still be found on some cars. “The most economical way is to act- uvally reduce the amount of current going to the lamp by switching both lamps into series the same as both tubs were filled from the one pipe and the other pipe shut off entirely. In this method the electricity is saved by turning the dimmer switch just as gas is saved in a gas light when the gas is turned down low.” mmong the 242 makes of cars regis- tered in the state of Michigan during January there were 106 lines of Michi- Zan manufacture, but it must not be inferred that all of these lines are now being manufactured, for a careful perusal of the list shows that no less than 27 lines have been discontinued through failures and have gone out of existence, while nine lines have been absorbed by’ other companies. Few companies that have failed have been reinstated to good standing by the purchasers. The buyers of the plant have sold the machinery and disposed of the parts and what cars have been found in process of manufacture. The companies that have been revived are ;asi’ljy counted upon the fingers of one and. With many motorists, it is very nat- ural that they give very little atten- tion to their cars,when they are laid up for the winter. As a result, when overhauling them for use in the spring, they find that some of the most important parts have suffered from neglect. One of the most im- portant factors in- modern. motor car construction is the storage battery. Upon its condition depends, to a great extent, the performance of the elec- tric starting and lighting system. It is very provoking and sometimes ex- pensive to-find that your storage bat- tery is dead, when you inspect it after winter storage, Since it is such an im- portant part, it is of interest to every motorist to know a few things about battery care- and inspection to de- termine its condition. “Probably the most frequent cause of a dead battery is failure to keep it filled with pure water. This has a very bad effect upon the construction of the battery, and if allowed to go too long will result in damage, which necessitates expensive repairs, and sometimes' the purchase of a new bat- ery. John De Palma, brother of the fa- mous Ralph De Palma, has been en- tered in the next Indianapolls 500-mile race. E. Wilson, of Rochester, N. Y., owner of the car in which De Palma won the 500-mile race is having It equipped ~ with smaller cylinders at present, believing the change will not sufficiently reduce its speed to affect its chances. In view of the fact that it weighs only little over 2,000 pounds, it is not thought the alteration will make much difference. During the past season the car has participated in many contests, but without much luck. It is hoped that De Palma’s training, as acquired un- der his brother Ralph, whose mechan- ician he has been since the last El- gin races, will once more make it a winner. 4 An American cup defender, which it is fondly hoped, will once more re- store Indianapolis 500-mile race hon- ors to the stars and stripes, is being constructed at a New Jersey automo- ‘bile factory. This craft, it is said, mounts a mo- tor that is capable of 3,000 r. p. m. without a drop in the power curve, a performance hitherto undreamed of in ‘the automobile world. Detalls of tha new machine are being carefully kept secret, it not being planned to give & public_demonstration until the Indian- aplis 500-mile race. As driver of the new care it is thought Eddie Pullen, holder of the world’s road racing record of _87.8 miles an hour, will be selected.

That the exploding of gasoline is playing a more important part in the European war than the exploding of gunpowder, is the assertion of a prom- inent military expert, writes John R. Bustis in the New York Evening Mail. This may seem an exaggeration, but the fact remains that the use of gas- oline, as the fuel for aircraft and sub- marines, portable field siege lights and motor vehicles is one of the biggest factories in this terrible armageddon. The motor vehicles being used in the present European war, particularly the motor trucks in the transport service, are being subjected to unusually se- vere service. They are being worked night and day with relays of drivers, and get little or no garage attention. As a result, many have become perm- anently disabled. In addition, large numbers have been captured by the enemy. To supply motor vehicles to take the place of those whose services have been lost, the allied armies have been obliged to turn to America, and al- ready orders for severa] thousand have been placed with manufacturers in this country. Shipments of these began in the latter part of September, and have increased in volume steadily since that time, The export busines has given a tremendous impetus to the Ameri- can motor truck industry at a time when large orders were most needed. They have shed over the industry dazzling sunshine which promises even more for the.future than it has pro- duced for the present and immediate past. Of the various uses of gasoline in this war, its employment as fuel for motor vehicles is unquestionably of the sgreatest importance. - It is propelling every known type, including the fast dispatch-bearing and scouting motor- cycle and runabout, the powerful tours ing cars which carry staff officers at high speeds through the entire theatre of war, or fitted with® armour platé and mounting quick-firing guns; sow death asthey tear through -the ranks of cavalry-and.infantry; the easy rid= ing motor ambulances; : the -heavy trucks which transport food, supplies and ammunition to the firing line; the lighter vehicles which ‘convoy the aer- oplanes; the tractors which haul slege artillery, and the big plows which open ditches for intrenchments; the- trucks which mount fully-equipped field kitchens; and portable machine shops, and many other similar types almost too numerous to mention. The manuals of military strategy and tactics are, being completely re= written by this widespread and highly successful use of motor vehicles. In former times the advance of an army was led by regiments of-cavalry. Plod= ding along in their rear came’ the in- fantry -and light artillery, and many miles behind great teams. of horses struggled to' advance the heavy siege guns. Now, the advance of a hostile army’ is heralded by a’great fleet of motor vehicles, - traveling at _high speed, those in _front protected by armor plate -and mounting - machine guns, and ‘those following many of them large motor omnibuses, carry~ ing picked troops. In the rear of this flying advance comes the cavalry, and right up with them the heavy artillery hauled by motor tractors. The march- ing infantry is actually accompanied by its motor transports which carry ample supplies of food and ammunis on. Trolleymen to Orga The baseball fever has struck thd local trolleymen and on Wednesday afternoon some ten or twelve went to the Cranberry where they had a stiff practice game. Conductor Maurice Looby made an exceptional showing-in the box while Motorman Lovett play in fire form behind the bat. The trol leymen expect to have one of the strongest teams in these parts. Helne Wagner’s comeback is one of the features of the Red Sox's. playing so far. He is batting and fielding su= perbly and really keeping the whole infleld traveling at a fast clip. “The nine pitchers of the Red Sox draw $40,000 salary,” says the Bo Globe, “yet Manager Carrigan is dafs ly put to his wits’ end to_find a boxs man willing and in shape to go ning innings.” N.Y.—~San Franciseo THROUGH HE n|r AND Pl::l'u, CANAL IME.L|Toisins PANANA PACIFIC LIRE, § '.'
