BOW Seven in_ Norw Majestic Boston, Jan. 5.—Harry H. Frazee, president of the Boston American League baseball ‘club, announced to- night that John J. accepted the management of the team. The contract will be drawn up . to- ‘morrow. Its duration has not been fixed but Mr. Frazee said that he would let Barry “sign for any number of years ~within reason,” aund that he would be the sole manager with the privilese of choosing his own assist- ants. . Before announcing his acceptance, Barry made it known that he desired to continue to play at the second base position and President Frazee granted his request. Barry was captain of the team last year. The amount of his salary as manager was not made public tonight. Plans for the spring training trip will be made at & Conference between Mr. Frazee and J. Ward, the owners of the club, and Manager Bar- ry tomorrow. The team will train at Hot Springs, Ark., and play a series of exhibition games before the open- ing of the leazue season. z The new leader of the Red Sox, who is 20 years of age, has been promi- nent as an infleld member of _the World championship teams in both Boston and Philadelphia. It was to the American League club in the lat- ter city that he went from Holy Cross college in 1908 to win a place in what later became the famous $100,000 in- field of the champion Athletics. When that machine was broken up in 1915, Barry, a leading shortstop, becamc second baseman with the Boston Americans, to whom he brought fresh strength for the struggle that sained them the world title of that year. He is believed to be the only major league player who has ever shared in the re- ceipts of six world's series. Last season Barry was injured and could take no active part in the world’s series, games, but was a mem- ber of board of stratezy organized by Manager William F. Carrigan. CHANGE IN CLAUSE APPEARS SATISFACTORY President Fultz Comments on Changes in Contracts. New York, Jan. —President Da- vid L. Fultz of the Baseball Playvers (Jack) Barry had | Has Shared in Six World's Series Gate Receipts. Fraternity stated.that while he had not seen a copy ‘;:yf':le A% coutract recently adop! e major leagues, the reported change in the clause re- to payment to players injured n the ball fleld while incapacitated ‘was highly ory to both offi- cers and members of the fraternits. “I do_not understand,” said Fultz, “the reference to the request being dismissed ‘because the condition com- plained of dves mot and cannot exist,’ followed immediately by the statement that the 1917 contracts contain a new clause g the very injustice of which the fraternity complained. If the conditlons complained of have been remioved, as stated, however, the method of reasoning is immaterial. “The dismissal of the requests that referred to conditfons under the jur- isdiction of the national association was, broadly, a semi-legal technicality. it will be followed by an appeal to the national.commission, on the part of the fraternity, from'the requests of the National ' Association, which will_have the effect of bringing the entire matter before the commission again in the form of a nappeal is out- lined in the statement issued by that Doay” LESLIE MANN WILL BE SHIFTED TO INFIELD Manager Mitchell Believes He Pos. ses the Speed. Chicago, Jan. 5—leslie Mann, out- fielder with the Chicago Nationals, will be shifted to either third base or shortstop next season. Fred Mitchell, the new manager of the club, an- nonnced today.

B. Johnson, president MARKET WAS DEPRESSED. Short Covering Caused Rallies at the Close. Extended Nominal New York, Jan. 5—The market was again subjected almost entirely to the caprices of professional traders today, that faction availing itself of various cevelopments and complications to de- press prices of leading stocks from taree to six points. Extensive short covering contributed to irregular and for the most part nominal rallies at the close. Price_movements were most bewil- dering throughout the session, not less than three successive, declines and rallies occurring in the first three Pours, with some. relaxation of pres- suro ater. -Publc interest was alto- Eether negligible, even the more repre- sentative rails showing little support from that source. Following the usual custom, United States Steel was again the storm cen- ter, that stock recording an: extreme decline of 2 5-8 points at 109 3-8 and a net loss of 1 1-2. Steel again fur- nished a preponderant share of the day’s business, far - oustripping _the combined dealings- in coppers, rails and the active specialtiés. . Rails were inclined to advance until beavy selling in other quarters cre- ated general irregularity. Canadian Pacific was most heavy of the high grade transportation stocks, while low- paid issues of that groum were dull and sluggish. Bquipments and munitions kept pace with Steel, Bethlehem Steel losing 15 points. Shipping shares were heavy to weak, Atlantic, Gulf and West In- dies making an_extréme Teeession of 6 1-4 points, Sugars also develaped ctionary tendencies, with Petrole- ums, Indusfrial Alcohol and Central Leather. Even Sloss-Sheffield Steel, on which dividends were resumed at the rate of 6 per-cent., failed to hold its eariy advance. Total sales amount- ed_to 960,000 shares. Increased firmness in sterling and a further shading of marks were the only changes recorded in foreign remit- tances. Domestic money-rates were unaltered. with a very light inquiry over the week end. Forecasts point to another large local gair of cash, mainly on the inflow from interior points. ‘Additional weakness in traction is- sues featured the irregular and narrow bond market. Total sales (par. value) aggregated $5,040,000.

Charter Oak Wants Place in Bay State Shortsh From Hartford, Conn. -comes the word _that the Charter Oak, and Staf- ford Springs tracks may be seen in the Bay State short-ship circuit next sea- son or a circuit which will replace the present onme. Both of these tracks would like to be represented. The present Bay State circuit is very rock There are several citics down on the eastern end of the circuit which are not very hot over the racinz. These may drop out and others t their places. Some of the tracks on this end are not faring as well 25 he pro- moters had hoped they mizht, and there may be attempts to change the circuit around to better it Some of the promoters_in Connecti- cut would like to see a Valley circuit with Hartford, Stafford Sprinzs, Windsor, Sprinzfield, Holyoke, North ampton ‘and Westfield as possible members of the circu This would make a circuit in which there would be long shipments of horses and one in_which there would me many fine towns for racing. The Connecticut end of the circuit could hold up its own very well, according to the Nutmes- gers, and there is no doubt that the Massachusetts end could do the same. Of course, Westfield is in bad at pre ent because of the fallure of the man- agers of the track to meet oblizations on the final day of racing iast season, but it is thought that the track will be reinstated again this season under a new manazement. One thing is certain, and that is that there will be chanzes in the Bay State circuit next season. Things are not just as they should be in several blaces, and the managements of these tracks wish to break away from the circuit. This will probably be done at the annual meeting of the circuit which will be held in Poston next month. Changes are coming which may seriously effect the lifc of the Bay State circuit. The Nutmeszger: secing this believe that a new lineur of tracks may mean the salvation of half-mile racing in this section. A circuit of the sieadinz tracks in the valley, according to the Conna-ti- cut horsemen. wonld be a fine thin; There would be plenty of ail through, and the steppers could travel around the entire circuit without dan- ger of injury. from long shipments. There would be few i fany long jumps. Then, too. the followers of the sport could easily travel between any two different mectings on the eircuit with- out loss of much time. Nutmegzer believe the idea would prove a banner one. Whether or mot the Valley iden taken up, Hartford and = Stafford Springs will probably be in the Pay State circuit next season. Both plac are hot for half-mile racinz. Hart- ford’s new half-mile track is consid- ered ideal bv the management, and is thouzht that a week of Bay State racing would be a profitable one. Hartford would like to get the week the Windsor preceding or following SLARA WILLIAMS, IN TRIANGLE-KAY BEE PLAY “THE CRIMINAL” DAVIS THEATRE MONDAY, TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY meeting of the circuit. Some Hart- ford horsemen would even like to see the races staged on the Charter Oak park, the week of Jjuly 4. Whother or not Hartford could get this is a mat- ter of extreme doubt, as this week fs generally set aside for Windsor, Hart- ford and Stafford -Springs are =oing stronz for a place on the Bay State circuit, and it is thought by those who are on the inside in the Capitol city that the efforts will be rewarded. There should be some interesting news miven out after the mectinz of the Lay State circuit next month. QUEER HAPPENINGS FEATURE 1916 SEASON Sport Review Reveals Notable Per- formances. The sport review for the year 1916, Jyst passed into history, will show many notable performances on the jamond. For the major leagues it was a year of prosperity eclipsing all that had gone before. For the minors it was the worst season in many years. The record performance of the year in baseball was the sensational run of victories by the Giants in eptem- ber, the spurt ending on September 30, 'when the Boston Braves won the second game of a double header, $ to 3 ,after McGraw’s team had scored 26 ‘consecutive victories. The Giants had made a run of 17 straight vic- tories in May. An odd featuré of the two spurts was that they failed to give the Giants a position better than fourth place. During the first win- ning streak the Giants set a National league record in taking every game on a western trip. In the American les gZue the St. Louis Brown -compiled the longest winning streak, taking 14 | games in succession. The Athletics equalled the major league record for consecutive defeats by dropping 20 onsecutive games before they defeat- ed Detroit August 9, when a new r cord seemed a_certainty. Unusual pitching performances fea- tured baseball in the year now passed. Four hitless games were added to the record, a number that has been reach- ed_oniy once in ten preceding cam- paigns. The pitchers who achieved this distinction were Tom Hughes of the Braves ,against the Pi George Foster, of the Red Sox, the Yankees: Joe Bush of the letics, against the I-dians, and Hu- | bert Leonard ,of the Red Sox asains the Browns. tiusmes = a r markable figure in hitless_pitching in June when he worked 15 and two- third consecutive innings without al- lowing a hit. No less than 10 pitchers came within one hit of pitching hit- less games. The boxmen who came 50 close and yet failed were Adams of the Pirates, Groom and Plank of the Browns. McCownel. Paciard, Laven- der and Hendrix ¢Z the Cubs, Cicots of the White Sox, Coombs of the Rob- ins and Benton of the Giants. Several slabsters also came into prominence by pitching both ends of double head- ers, an almost lost art for many years until Dave Davenport succeeded in winning two games in one afternoon late in July. Several pitchers tried it ater and a few succeeded. Pitcher set up a new record in bases on balls in one game early in May. During a contest between the Athletics and Tig- the Detroit pitchers handed ou 12 passes and the Philadelphia me; handed out 1S. FAVORS LIMITING OF BLEACHER SEATS President Tener's Views Apt to Meet With Disfaver. President Tener expressed himself as Leing strongly in favor of the club owners’ action in adopting a resolu- tion to limit the number of 25-cent seats at the various parks, particular- lv in those cities where the clubs have been giving up considerable of their space to the two-bit patrons, writes George M. Public Ledger. club_owners have provided Young in the Philidelphia He said the owners had been forced to it through the change in the con- ditions governing the game during the He pointed out that for the of the patrons by erecting last five years. comfort spacious stands and furnishing other equipment at great expense, players’ salaries have advanced and the run- ning expenses of a major league club have multiplied until the owner is compelled to do something to get back some of his money. President Tener said he expected the action would result in criticism, but that it would reguiate itself, and that the fans would accept it as something that had to come along with the increase in every other line of business. * BIG STADIUM WANTED BY PENNSYLVANIA Most Big Colleges Have Vast Amph theatres. One of the convincing proofs of the vopularity of college athletics is the number of huge stadiums that have been put up or are in the process of construction at the present time. Most of the big eastern colleges possess vast amphitheatres, and now it seems certain that Pennsylvania will replace the stands on Franklin Field by a modern inclosure. “In former years” says a Quaker graduate, “Pennsylvania was a leader in the stadium movement. Pennsyl- vania was the first colloge to erect permanent stands and invite the col- lege world to hold its agmees and ath- letic events on nklin_Field. In re- cent years, however, Harvard, with its stadiurm: Yale and the giant bowl; Syracuse, Princeton and other col leges have surpassed Pennsylvania in building a«home for athletic feats.” It is only a question of time when Columbia will have to construct a sta- dium to replace South Field. In fact, plans have been made ‘or several vears for the building of a stadium on- the banks of the Hudson near 116th street. These have never been carried out because of a lack of funds. South Field is probably the poorest athletic field in the east. It is almost impossible for two athletic teams to practice on it at the same time. When football was restored, soccer had to be dropped because therc was no room to practice. To play baseball one of the stands has to be take down at a goodly expense each yea after the foatball season. At the ex piration of the five-vear perion, when Columbia may play Hrcvard, Yale, Princeton, or any of the big teams, stadium seems to be assured, as it w be needed more then SPORTING NOTES.

The monster fought well, but emerged from the battle with a damaged caterpillar beit, which forced it to remain where it was—in the act of crossing one of the enemy’s trenches. Field Marshal Haig’s recent report on the battle of the Somme contains fre- quent mention of the work of the “tanks”. Dne example follows: “Gueudecourt was carried after pro- tecting trenches to the west had been captured, in an interesting fashion. In the early morning a “tank” started down a portion of a trench held by the enemy, from the northwest, firing its m: ine guns and followed by bomb- ers.’ The ensmy could not escape, as ‘we held the trench at the southern.
