In the meantime, the Eastern repre- sentatives—President O'Rourke, Sec- retary Reddy of Bridgeport and Jack Zellar of Pittsfleld—had a meeting by themselves and decided to go ahead on plans for the coming season. Franchises in Hartford and Springfield were awarded to John T. Irwin of Worcester, Mass., and T. F. O'Connor of Springfleld, respectively. The association refused to accept the ation of Commodore Morton F. Plant of the New London club. Apllications for Franchises. A statement was given out after the meeting, declaring that there were two applications for franchises in both New Haven and Waterbury. The names of the applicants were not made public., Both sessions were executive. Messrs. Reddy and Zellar of the East- ern Assoclation went to the meeting of the mergerites and named the price asked for the Pittsfield club. They later reported to President O'Rourke the rejection of the offer.

New York, Jan. 10.—Selling pres- sure prevailed during the greater part of today’s irregular trading, with vari- able and substantial declines in some of the more active issues. Sentiment over the week-end appeared to be in- creasingly pessimistic, much of today's Hguidation being ascribed to out of town points. Labor troubles, actual and prospec- tive, proved more than an offset to the improved foreign situation and the assurances of the attorney general that the department of justice in- tends to adopt a more lenient attitude towards Inrocent offenders of the anti- trust laws.’ Commission houses coun- selled greater caution to their clients and a further elimination of weak speculative accounts resulted from an- other contraction of loans by local banks. U. B. Steel continued as the pivot around which the market revolved in its fitful periods of activity. Opening at 87 §-8, a slight fraction over last week's close, the stock soon fell to 86 1-2. This was prior to the issu- ance of the December tonnage state- ment showing an increase of about 617,000 tons in unfilled orders over the preceding months and bringing that item up to the largest total since the early part of 1913, Steel hardened slightly on this ex- hibit and other leaders also moved upward fractionally, but receded in the last hour, when offerings of stocks seemed much in excess of demand. Steel’s. minimum_quotation was made in the final dealings, the stock closing at 85 7-8,-a Joss of 1 5-8. Actual weakness developed during the forenmoon in all the ofl stocks, American Smelting and. other metals, the auto. group and recognized war shares.

The Yale corporation and faculty re- garded = undergraduate direction : of football, if not of other major sports, as having broken down through the occurrences in football and baseball during the past season. A head coach probably, after the middle of the past football season. Direct control of ath- letics. through .the faculty and cor- poration, have now arrived at Yale. Vance McCormick is the first member of ‘the university corporation who has beer. a member of any athletic com- mittee. Conversely, he is the first ath- lete given a seat on the university cor- poration and those who grumble at the loss of undergraduate control of athletics or undergraduate control athletic control or influence on the corporation. in the presence of ex- Captain McCormick of the football eleven on the corporation, or universi- ty trustee board. The most significant feature of the rresent special football committee of three will be the fact that its life will not end when it names a head coach but that it will continue its existence as the controlling body of the new. Yale football, if not athletic system. The committee will' go right ahead, after it reports on the head coach to perfect its, reorganization of football, to act as’ the system with the head coach. Another significant step which the special committee will take will be to add to its present membership. It would create no surprise if,: at . its meeting next Wednesday night, it should ‘be announced by the general athletic committee that the special committee on football would hereaft- er consist of five rather than three members, additions of possibly “Pa” 7Corbin, a former captain and advisor John Field, a prominent member of the footbull committee the past two or three years, Guy Hutchinson, Ray Sigelow or Burr -Chamberlin being made. R Such a committee will compose the new Yale football system and it will be a committee more directly associat- | ed with the. faculty and the corpora- tion than any that has before con- trolled Yale footbal. If great importance is the fact that Clinton Black will be the first Yale, captain who will not select either his head coach or his staff of advisors and graduate committee. Under the revised system the committee now endorsed by the faculty and eorporation has that power. It has been stated that the committee of three had - mot ye: - picked a definite coach to rec- ommend cn Wednesday evening. It is believes that several names will be presented to that meeting. While those of Fred Murphy, Tad Jones ana Fred Daly have been mentioned, most frequently that of Dr. Arthur Brides. for several years coach of the Massa- chusetts Agricultural college and at University of North Carolina, is warmly favored by some of .the com- mittee. He was one of Yale's . best all-around players, both in the line and in the backfield, for several sea- sons and an eleven was wrecked when he was not given the captaincy he had' earned by three seasons’ service. Growing objection has been heard-out of college for more-than twenty. years. This and the fact that Harry Wiiliams of Minnesota is reported to have been growing deaf have hurt his candi- dacy. NO DEAL PENDING FOR SALE OF NEW YORK NATIONALS Signed Statement of Denial Made by President Harry Hempstead. New York, Jan. 10.—In a signed statement made public here late this afternoon, President Harry L. Hemp- stead of the New York National league baseball club denied that there was any deal pending at this time for the sale of the Gilants or that the club had been negotiating with James F. Gaffney, formerly president = of the Bolton Nationals, with the idea of dispost: f of the control of the local NBUO league club. Mr. Hempstead's statement was as follows: many and different quarters comes the statement that the con- trol of the New York Giants is about % |to pass from present owners to sev- i | eral different interests. I would like to state that neither Mr. Gaffney nor % |any of his representatives have ever approached me regarding the purchase of the New York club. “It has been a number of weeks since Mr. Sinclair has taken this sub- ject up with me, therefore the public may be assured that so far as I know no_sale of the Giants is pending. “The citizens of New York city have more than appreciated my efforts. I have no thought of being tired.of baseball as has been suggested. Fur- thermore thtre are no differences be- tween Mr. McGraw and myself.” HAUGHTON WILL COACH HARVARD FOOTBALL TEAM.

The Russians are known to have destroyed 229 wella during . their occupation, but = many ‘were not destroyed and those w( out of commi: have doubtless long exportations of petro. ln 1914 amounted to a million tons. A large amount of the ital amplcyed in the operation of the manian flelds is German. is the Athlrd consumer of petroleum 1n Europe and before the war was tak- Ln&olbout 120,000,000 tons annually. umania has enforced a decree for- bidding the exportation of those parts of the crude which can be ‘used for .motor spirits or the lighter oils. The figures indicate that while Germany has been inconvenienced by the short- age of the supply and has been forced to develop intensively the wells in her fleld of influence, she has still in all probability been able to get what- ever she needed for her army. on- Motorists who do considerabls driv- ing in crowded traffic, naturally op- erate the clutch and brake: pedals more than the average driver, and the continual. rubbing of metal and . the soles of the shoes will quickly wear the leather. Caster oil applied to leather soles will soften them and add greatly to their wearing quali- tles and better convenience the driv- er. The soft sole shoe.is much, to be preferred to .the heavy sole, as with the thin and flaxible leather the oper- ator can “feel” the pedald. The soles of new shoes can ‘be treated, increas- ing .their endurance and your com- fort. In the “smaller provincial - towns of England women taxi drivers have be- come common since the war develop- ed and are pursuing.that business with apparent success. Whether they could be successful under . the more severe traffic conditions of. the large cities is yet to be determined. The change in the.grade of lubri cating ‘made by experienced motor- ists. to meet the different conditions under which motors are used should not. be made exclusively on a basis of weather. The condition of the engine should chiefly be taken into account. ‘When a motor is new is. has as near perfect compression as possible and whether it is winter or summer it should use the same grade of lubricant successfully. When a car has been run sevéral thousand miles mechanical’ wear takes place and then a ' heavier oil lhould be used. There have been a number of charts made for choosing oils, putting em- phasis exclusively on weather condi- tions rather -than on- the condition of the motor. A new machine for preparing the soil for crops which differs in a revo- lutionary way from the plow and har- row that have been used without change in principle since Pharoah's | time, is now being built commercially. ‘This machine is known as ‘a rotary tiller and was invented in Germany by K. V. von Meyemburg. It is desigfied to do the work of the plow, disc and harrow, in one operation, fully pre- paring the soil for the crop. ‘Whereas the plow cuts, lifts and breaks the soil. the rotary tiller or soil miller makes chips like a hoe and breaks them into small pleces by throwing them against each other. The plow when used must be followed by a series of other tools to make the seed bed, but the tiller does it all in one operation. It pulverizes the soil to the full depth even when the earth is comparatively heavy. Featherweight pistons are guaran- teed not to crystalize on the dome, ovalize In the pin bosses or to cause enlargement o the ring grooves, re- gardless of length of service. They are made of aluminum alloy, which is stronger than cast iron, and will not score the cylinder walls. A “set of these pistons for a certain car weigh but four pounds as compared with the present cast iron set weighing 12 pounds. Featherweight pistons tend to reduce vibration and afford a si- lently operating motor when running at high speeds by eliminating a tre- mendous pounding strain on the bear- ings. This piston metal has been thoroughly tested and found efficient by use in the mapority of this year's racing cars. Four alzeg of pistons for this car are carried in stock by the manufacturer; standard, .0025 over- size, .081 for rebored cylinders and 083 oversize for rebored cylinders. The increasing popularity of con- vertible types of motor car bodies has served to emphasize the features of convertibility heretofore found only in high priced cars and now carried to a higher state of advancement by a few manufacturers who -epecialize in fine body. work. In fact, the lnur- est In convertible bodles is only to the interest in the lmportuu general improvements of the year. The practice of keeping cars in ser- vice all winter has grown apace with the increasing knowledge of the du- ties required by cold weather and tno increasing facilities for making wi ths:‘ motoring . a comfort.

Langford Out of Running. ‘The Harry Wills-Sam- Langford 20- round battle which was held at ..ew Orleans last week -was not only a_de- cisive triumph for Wills, who is a New Orleans product, but it signalized the passing of Langford as a fighter of the s and ‘a possible heav)'welght n. Wills. is. only 28 years of age and spent his youth. working on the levees of New Orieans. It was - Wills who dropped -Fred Fulton in 18 seconds— one of the quickest fights on record. ‘Wills can punch equaily well with deft or right. - He is.the only heavyweight in the ring today who can.do the old ;‘i:z.shnmunu shift-and do it success- ully. The secret of Wills' success against Langford in the bout last week was this: He moved toward Langford- ev- ery time Sam sent over a hook or -a swing. By thus stepping inside Lang- ford's attack the blows curved harm- lessly around him. In other bouts, gford won decisively because. his opponents invariably moved away from him. Wills’ one fault. is a tendency to drop - his hands when pinned on- the. ropes. . It was-only when in. such a position that Langford was able to hit him. Wills is now under the man- agement of Jim Buckley of New York. HORSE NOTES.
