SPEAKER SURPRISED AT RED SOX DEAL Uncertain Yet as to Whether He Will Join Cleveland Team. Boston, April 9.—Tris Speaker, the| famous centerfieldr of the RBoston American League team whose sale to announced said tonight that it was not Yet certain that he would go to the the Cleveland yesterday, club was western team. S er came here to- day from New_ York to have a. talk with President Lannin of the Red Sox. “This deal was a complete surprise to me,” said Speaker.* As I under- stood it Mr. Lannin and I had prac- tically agreed upon terms. After talk- ing with tween me and my the signing of a contract. Mr. Lannin tomorrow forenoon and look for an explanation. In the Hiomeys-at-Law on Friday I figured that our deal was practically fixed up and that there was no longer anything be- continuance as a member of the Red Sox team saving 1 shall see I have not signed any contract with the Cleveland PLANTERS REPORTING FOR PRACTICE Initial Workout Will Take Place Today—Gene McCann Satisfied With Season’s Outlook. Between snow flakes Saturday ball players dropped into New London to report for the season. Catcher Har- vey Russell, former Federal leaguer, was the ploneer. Harvey showed around Friday and others strung in behind. Sunday saw many more arrive and the first of the week should find_the complete roster present and accunted for. ‘Saturday morning T. Bugene Mc- Cann, who has again been assigned the task of bringing home the bunt- ing, returned from a trip to New York and was busy this afternoon arrang- ing a few details preliminary to the spring practice. Gene has issued gen- eral orders, Na. 1, calling for the first practice of the season down at Plant fleld on Mon morning. If the snow blizzard or what- ever it may be, that is hovering about behaves itself and moves northward for the week-end, the practice plans can be carried out as per schedule, but if Monday morning finds a blanket of snow on Plant field, cutdoor prac- tice will be an impossibility and it will be necessary to have the first workouts indoors. The state armory is the only hall large enough here to be of any use for indoor practice. Weather such as we are putting up with now is hardly baseball weather and sore muscles and bad arms are the chief productsh of raw, chilly wea- ther of the current variety. Unless there is a brighter break on the wea- ther, snow shovels and snow plows will be substituted for the customary baseball equipment. McCann Ready for Contest. Manager McCann said Saturday morning that practically all the men who will make up the squad are either under contract or else will be very shortly. A liberal assortment of bat- tery men, infielders and outfielders have been lined up and from the Iot should be drafted a eclub that will make the teams around the circait step a whole lot for first division hon- ors. The Glants and the Phillies have both been drawn on. From the Phil- lies comes Pitcher Fortune and Catch- er Fish, youngsters of great promise, according to the dope sheet. The Giants® contribution is Outflelder Elch, who is advertised as a fast fielder, a good hitter and a fast man on bases. The report that Paddy Green will not play at New London, but will play with Lowell, fails to disturb McCann. “Just put down that Green will be one of the pitchers,” was Gene's laconic reply to the query, “How about Paddy Green?” Although men from both the Giants and Phillies are to come here, Mana- ger McCann said there is nothing in the story that New London will be a farm for any big leagus club. “We won't be a farm for anyone,” he said. Gene is enthusiastic over the pros- pects. He regards the talent he has gathered as high grade in every way and thinks local fans will be pleased when they see them in action. The catchers are Russell ana Fish. Russell is too well known here for any extended eulogy. He did high grade work for Bridgeport several seasons and performed creditably for Balti- more in the Federal league. Fish was with Manchester of the New England league last season. South this sprinz in the Phillles camp he showed some class, but needs minor league priming before he is ready for the big show. Here’s the Pitching Staff. The pitching staff will be drawn from these men: Paddy Green, former Planter; Paddy Martin, also former Planter; Fortune, McDoyle and Cham- pion. For first base it is a contest between Rodriquez, the Cuban flash, who was south with the Glants this spring, and Zielka of Meriden. The Cuban is a wonderful felder, but ra- ther weak with the pole. For second base there is Jimm: SATURDAY’S MARKET. Pressure Was Directed Against Most Prominent Stocks. the New York, Apral S—Pressure was directed against the more prominent stocks at the outset of today's brief session of the stock exchange. Such issues as United States Steel and the better known rails declineq to lowest prices of the week. These losses were largely, if not wholly, retrieved before the close when a spirited de- mand for metals, especially the zinc shares, brought abdut a general re- versal. American zinc, the most active fea- ture of the day, made a new high record on its advance of 5 points to 95 3-4, and Butte and Superior, a Jub yets stock of the same class rose 3 to 95. s Other active features agan included the Marines, which ‘ollowe their GRAEIANMS ANDEIKNOUREK trend, Crucible Steel, coppers, such JOINTLY BREAK RECORD |as Anaconda, Shattuck<Arizona and Tennessee, the motors, International In Pole Vault at Chicago Indoor Meet.|Nickel and U.

First Game of Season. The Finishing room of the Admore Yantic defeated the same mill at ‘woolen mill at Picking room of the baseball Saturday by the score of 6 to 5. The game was played in splte of the storm. Throw Away Your Eye-Glasses! Hide and Leather preferred, Ameri- can Linseed, preferred and Sears- Roebuck, were lower at intervals by 1_to 3 points. Rails were again a negligible yuan- tity, as far as_their activity was con- cerned, but New Haven, Atlantic Coast Line and Norfolk and Western preferred were inclined to east about & point on light offerings. Total sales of stocks amounted to 255,000 shares. Exchange on Paris continued to fall, the Paris rate for checks mak- ing the new low rate of 6.02 for the current movement. There was again no explanation vouchsafed, other than the rather free offering of commer- clal bills by brokers supposed to rep- resent sellers of supplies to French interests. The week's various financial under- takings probably accounted for an actual loan expansion of almost $30,- 000,000, a cash loss well in excess of $20,000,000 and a decrease of almost $25,000,000 in reserves, causing re- serves to fall below $100,000,000 as against $154,000,000 in the first week of the year. Tocay's bond market was stead with total sales (par value) of $1,850, 000. TUnited States issues were variably higher and lower on call during the - e week.

Tris Speaker, the star outfielder of the Boston Red Sox, who is rated as the best defensive player of his posi- tion in baseball, and ranked second only to Cobb for all-around efficiency, has played his last game in a Beston uniform, perhaps. Bill Carrigan announced Saturday afternoon that Speaker had been trad- ed to the Cleveland Indians for a cash consideration, and Sam P. Jones, a young pitcher, who is held in high esteem by Lee Fohl, manager of the Cleveland team. One other player, yet to be decided upon, will accom- {\{:my Jones and the money to the Back ay. It is just possible that Steve O'Neil, the catcher, will hear the call to the world’s champions. There was some alk of the Sox letting Thomas and dy drift along to other parts, and the deal may be so arranged as to in- | clude O'Nel The tradir the culmination of Speaker comes of when the star of the outlaws seemed to be in its ascendant, Speaker re- ceived a salary of $35,000 for two years. But just as soon as the treaty of Cincinnati was signed, and cutting salaries became a popular pastime, the Doston management offered Tris a contract calling for $9,000 per annum. When Tris recovered from his first spasm of surprise, and was able to talk in connected sentences, he re- turned the proffered document with a note that such a salary would not buy his new limousine. He nt several other messages also, but there seemed to be no way of adjust- ing_conditions.

April 9.—Administra- tion leaders in congress are exerting unusual efforts to expedite legisla- tion with a view of adjournment early in the summer and they are meeting with cooperation on the part of the minority in both houses. The general desire to speed up was well illustrated in the senate Satur- day, when unanimous consent agree- ments were reporged for a vote on the army reorganization bill and free sugar repeal resolution and the legis- lative appropriation bill was passed, all within two hours. The senate agreed to vote on the army bill, the first of the big national defense meas- ures, on Tuesday, April 18 and to vote on the free sugar repeal resolution on next Tuesday, April 11. The agree- ment was reported without difficulty, republican senators joining with the democratic leaders in drafting the unanimous consent resolution.

Nevertheless Secretary Baker tonight reiterated his optimism for early success of the hunt for Villa. Lack of news since last Tuesday re- garding progress of General Pershing’s campaign has not shaken the hope of officials. It is pointed out that im- portant developments may have oc- curred since it was last possible for the extreme advance columns to com- municate with their field base.

A NEGRO PRIVATE KILLED AT DEL RIO, TEXAS Assaulted Sheriff Who Was Arresting 16 Negro Soidiers. Del Rio, Texas, April 9.—Private John Wade, of C company, Twenty- fourth Infantry, a negro regiment, was killed here late last night when two rangers and Sheriff Almont attempted to arrest sixteen negro soldiers who had created a disturbance in a house in_the restricted district. Three negroes are said to have at- tacked the officers while the latter were taking them to the jail. Wade jumped on Ranger Barler, according to the stories told by witnesses, press- ed him to the zround and clubbed him on the head with the butt of his re- volver. Barler drew his pistol and fired over his shoulder. Wade was killed. Protests against the presence of the negro soldiers and requests for their removal were being prepared today to be sent to the war department. A portion of the Twenty-fourth In- fantry has been stationed here for three week: COLUMBUS TO REMAIN A MILITARY BASE Nothing to Rumor of Its Aemoval to Presidio, Texas. ‘Washington, April 9. —Secretary Baker stated today that as far as he knew consideration was not being given to removal of the American bor- der base from Columbus to Presidio, Texas, as reported from the border. He said no_such suggestion had yet come from General Funston, although army officials admitted that by trans- ferring the base of operations, consid- erable mileage would be saved in holding the lines of communication.

OCEAN FREIGHT RATES INCREASE 900 PER CENT Grain Has Led All Commodities in the Rapi Rise. ‘Washington, April 8.—Ocean freight rates on some commodities, particu- larly wheat, are 900 per cent. higher than at the beginning of the war. A letter written yesterday by Dr. E. E. Pratt, chief of the foreizn and domes- tic commerce bureau, to Chairman Al- exander of the house merchant ma- rine committee considering the admin- istration shipping bill, calls attention to the jump in rates and reviews the shipping situation. Grain has lead all commodities in the rapid rise in rates. From 4.1 cents a bushel in January 1914, the rate has become 40.6 cents today from New York to Liverpool. From Bos- \lm it is some five cents cheaper. The higher rate from New York is attrib- uted by Dr. Pratt to long delays and high demurrage charges due to con- gestion of grain at New York. Cotton rates have increased at both the ports of New York and New Or- leans nearly %00 per cent still cheaper to ship from New York than from New Orieans. On Jan. 1, 1916, the New York rate was §$ hundred pounds and the N rate $3.
