The interest in the Yantic-Nationals series is fast growing end indications point that it will surpass the serles between the All Stars and Sachems, which last season was the zenith of baseball in this city. The first game will be played at Yantic Saturday and the second Sunday on the Cranberry. According to Manager Hughes of the Nationals, the money has been posted with the stake holder, Moran of Yan- tic. As no umpires as yet have been appointed, as a suggestion Joe Sulli- van of Greeneville and Luke Riley of the city are very capable of filling the indicator job satisfactory to all. It is rumored fhat the Yantic management have a stronger backing than thought end that they are out to capture the series at all costs, barring no expenses, especially in the battery line. Mana- ger Hughes predicts two etraights and announces his ‘batteries: Saturday, Leary and Walsh; Sunday, Greenwall and Walsh. Manager Strifch of Yan- tic has not vet revealed hurlers, but he has two up his sleeve that are capable of holding the Nationals and without doubt will baffle them. To prevent rising questions, it might be a good plan for the managements to appoint an official scorer. The second game on the Cranberry Sunday looks as if complications wiil arise owing to the fact that the City league plays there and have a written permit to play there from one having the control of the ground. INTERCOLLEGIATE RECORD MARKS IN DANGER Several Are in Grave Danger of Being Erased This Season. That this year's intercollegiate track and field championship meet ,to be held at Philadelphia May 28 and 29, will see more new records than ever before is the belief of college men and athletic sharps. New evidence for the belief was furnished by the sensational performances on Saturday at Ithaca, where Pennsylvania and Cornell met and at Yale field, where Harvard and Yale clashed. Here are the marks which are in grave danger of being erased: 440 vard dash, 48 seconds, held by C. Reidpath of Syracuse. Two mile run, 9.23 4-5, held by D. S. Hoffman of Cornell. 880 yard run, 1.53 Caldwell of Cornell. Running high jump, 6 feet § 1-2 inches, held by T. Moffitt, Pennsylva- nia, Hammer throw, 164 feet 10 held by John Dewitt, Princeton. Running broad jump, 24 feet 3 1-2 inches, held by A. C. Kraenzlein, Penn- sylvania. Two of these records have already been beaten and one equalled. The other three have been closely ap- proached, and in all the class of com- petition is so high that the meeting at Philadelphia is likely to cause new fig- ures to be set up. The mark most certain to be beaten is in the high jump. Alma Rich- ards of Cornell, the Olympic champion, has done 6 feet 4 inches twice and once 6 feet 5 inches. In the quarter mile run, Wilcox of Harvard did 48 seconds when he beat Wilkie of Yale. The only man in the country with a chance to beat the Harvard fiyer is Meredith of Pennsyl- vania. The Queker has never run this fast, but that is because he has never & held by D. S. inches, been pushed to the limit. Both men will be comparatively fresh when they meet and the chances are that the winner will not only beat Reidpath’s time but equal and perhaps _better Long's world record of 47 4-5 on a circular track, Bailey of Maine, who enters inter- collegiate competition for the first time this year, has done better tham 170 feet in the hammer throw and is a consistent performer. In the broad jump the sensation of the year is Oler of Yale. The Eli never tried broad jumping before this year seriously, but on Saturday leaped 23 feet 11 inches. Yele men think he will beat Kraenz- lein’s mark. In the half mile and two mile runs the competitors are good enough to beat the'present records. The present week will see the last hard work for the big games. There is only one important meet. That is the New England intercollegiate on Friday and Saturday. BAN PLACED ON CLABBY AND CHIP., | Suspended for 60 Days by the Boxing Commission. Jimmy Clabby and George Chip were declared zuilty and suspended for one month by the New York state ath- letic commission on the charge that they did not give of their best in a bout at the St. Nicholas rink, New York, a few days ago. The commission examined a number of witnesses before upholding the ref- erce, who ordered both men out of the ring in the eighth round and stopped the bout. Among the witnesses who appeared before the commission were Roger Bresnahan, manager of the Chicago Cubs; Scotty Monteith, manager of Johnny Dundee; D. J. Burke and Wil- liam Newman, referees, and E. C. Ca: ter, Fred Keats A. W. Dickinson, W. O. McGechan, John Poilock, Dan Lyons and Vincent Trainor, sporting writers. Tne commission aiso pended the license of the Federal Athletic club. Several complaints recently have Dbeen made against the club, and as the officers have failed to appear before the commission when ordered to do so it was decided to take drastic action. CONNIE MACK STANDS FIRM AGAINST BAKER. Refuses to Sell the Home Run King to White Sox. Chicago, May 19.—Efforts of Charles Comiskey, owner of the Chicago mericans, ‘to induce Cgnnie Mack, manager of the Philadelphia Athletics, to change his mind regarding selling “Home Run” Baker have proved fu- tile according to a story printed here today. Mack is A said to have repeated his statement that Baker would not be allowed to play with any other team but the Athletics, esides a big cash price, the Chica- %0 team is said to have been willing to give a pitcher for the third sacker. Harper Pitches No Hit Game. Minneapolis, Minn., May 19.—Harry Harper, the twenty year old left hand- ed pitcher recently obtained by the Minneauolis club from the Washington American League club, pitched a no- hit, no run game agains St. Paul to- FINANGIAL AND COMMERCIAL MARKET DEALINGS NARROW. Price Changes Were Irregular and Dealings Insignificant. New York, May 19.—In its salient features today’s stock market was al- together a repetition of the previous session. Dealings were of the same light and insignificant character and price changes were again irregular and narrow. International conditions were once more the chief influence, the sit- uation in Italy and the relations be- tween this country and Germany over- shadowing all other developments. London’s markets reflected the con- cern felt in that quarter regarding the impending changes in the British min- try. Incidentally, London reported the release of $5,000,000 gold at Ottawa for shipment to this center. Americans were without feature abroad, except for isolated strength in Canadian Pacific. The stock market as such calis for no detailed comment. Prices were generally higher at the openimz, yield- ed before the end of the first hour, rose again after midday, and fell back slightly towards the close. Except for specialties, extreme fluctuations were within a point. Mexican Petroleum weakened on rumors of fire damage to the company’s property and war shares rose one to three points on extremely light sales. Secondary railway shares, such as Missouri Pecific and Chesapeake and Ohio, were heavy, the former because of a reported hitch in the plans to ex- tend the $25,000,000 of notes maturing June 1 and the latter on rumors that the forthcoming dividend is likely to be suspended. The short maturities of these companies and others under sim- ilar financial pressure were weak. Total sales of stocks amounted to 196,000 shares. The weekly review of conditions in the steel trade lays stress on the fact that the war has played no consider- able part in that industry to date. It is acknowledged that some large do- mestic contracts have been halted. Foreign exchange was again fever- ish, francs and rubles descending to lower quotations. A sharp advance in sterling remittances at par is also regarded as an outgrowth of France's heavy obligations to London. The local bond market was steady. aside from weakness in Wabash fours, which fell two points on heavy offer- ings. Total sales, par value, aggre- gated $1,525,000. United States coupon and registered threes advanced 5-8 and 1-2 per cent., respectively, on call. STOCKS.

Philadelphia, May 18.—Griner per- formed the remarkable feat in today's game, in which St. Louis shut out Philadelphia 3 to 0, of pitching to only twenty-seven batsmen in nine innings. Griner was touched up for only two singles and he did not give a pass, while he was given perfect support by his team mates. Chalmers gave a splendid exhibition of ling, but he was given poor sup- port. In trying to reach second when Becker fanned in the first inning, Byrne was touched out by Butler Whose foot struck the runmer on the head.

Burmah to clear all doubts has origi- nated a name of his own for the spec- ial. The department of interior will per- mit automobiles to enter Yellowstone National park on and after August 1, 1915 under appropriate rules and regu lations. These rules and regulations are now being formulated but will not be available for general distribution until sometime next month. Regulation of jitneys in various parts of the country has been found more and more necessary as the ser- vice has spread from the western where is originated through- out the entire country. The compe- according to reports from all s’ in which the jitney has flour- ished, has been a serious menance to the prosperity of street railways, and indirectly to city revenues, and these facts, taken with the danger from congestion in traffic caused by them in _already crowded streets, have re- Guired regulation by the mun pal authorities. Chambers of com- merce, merchants’ associations, and realty boards in various cities have joined in protest, and it has in many Dlaces been found necessary that ome action be taken to control the jitney driver.

To the lay mind, the fact that the surfaces to be cooled in an eight cy- liner motor are so much greater than in the four or six would seem to pre- sent a problem in cooling systems that would be difficult of solution. As a matter of fact, an eight cylin- der motor is most efficiently cooled b the simplest of systems, that of ther- mo-syphon, which we hace adopted af- ter a careful series of tests,” says Claude S. Briggs, president of a2 De- troit, Michigan auto company. We found that pump circulation did not cool the two cylinder blocks even- ly due to the fact that a single pump would have to be placed on one side of or the other of the motor, and the block farthest from the pump would be several degrees hotter than the other. Efficient forced circulation would require two pumps, which would not only add to the expense of con- increase the car the of struction but wouid weight and consume a share of power, besides becoming a source noise and trouble. The thermo-syphon found to cool the two cyl: evenly under all conditions, by reason of a large water capacity and exce tionally large cooling surfaces in the radiator. Supplementing this is a four-blade aluminum fan drawing air through the radiator with sufficient force to cause a picce of heavy card- board six inches square to adhere to ths radiator surface from the fan suc- tion.
