Football coaches come and go but the graduate system, with few excep- tions, has not proven ‘a success. Glenn Warner and Flelding Yost ,coaches of Pittsburgh and Michigan respectively, have longest been ‘in service of the big fellows. Neither is a graduate of the instituts whose team he coaches. Harvard is the only notable exception in the East, but not until its eleven had passed ‘throush vears of failurc. Yale has again gotten away with it after many years of defeat. Prince- ton’s successes with the system in a period of twenty years could be count- ed by a child of three. Pennsylvania is right now enjoying a flurry in gradu- ate coaching quotations but its most consistent and telling gridiron record was made under George Woodruff, of Yale, twenty years back. Cornell's graduate systeln was a complete fall- ure. Dartmouth hasn‘t much to brag about. Of the smaller colleges in the East that have assumed gridiron supremacy at various times Brown, under Robin- son, and Penn State, under Harlow, both graduates of these respective in- stitutions, have been uniformly suc- cessful but they have not reached any higher pinnacles than either Colgate or Washington & Jefferson, both small colleges, coached by Dartmouth and Pennsylvania men. Bankhart, the Col- gatetutor, has worked' wonders and Folwell, now at Penn, certainly gave W. & J. a_gridiron joy-ride. In the West the Conference teams have invariably sought football tutors in the open market. Chicago, Minne- sota and_Northwestern have Yal coaches: Tllinois, Ohio State and Indi- ana, Wisconsin graduates; Purdue a Holy Cross teacher; Wisconsin, a flock of Harvard men 'of the Haughton school and Michigan has Yost, who is a West Virginia product, all reports to the contrary in the Footbal Guide notwithstanding. In the far West, Washington has defeated seasons under Dobie, a Min- nesota man ,and the other Pacific Coast teams are in the same boat. California made a new start ast fall, necessarily under a non-graduate sys- tem. The graduate system is ideal on with before- he can deliver them. Neither is this true in football alone. It works in all branches of sport The graduate system is not as good, all things considered, as going out into Murphy were at odds. Both were equally good men and neither strong will bowed to the other. No one has yet found out what Mike Sweeney, Whom the late Tom Shevlin said knew more football than any man in the country, did at Yale last fall. He was taken from the Hill school to act as trainer but he spent a listless fall in New Haven. Tad Jones was absolute. It seems that the man who has the skill, knowledge, common sesne and personality to make a successful coah has the knack of conditioning his charges. And when the coach and suc- cessful tralner meet, each with abso- lue_authority, one is bound to go. (Copyrighted, 1917, by Sol Metzger.) RED SOX FRAT. MEMBERS SIGN CONTRACTS Nine Players ned Up for Season and Five More Expected Thursday Boston, Jan. 22.—Harry H. Frazee, president of the Boston American league club, announced tonight that he had nine players under contract, including Manager John J. Barry, who signed a few weeks ago and Ruth, Shore and Asnew, whose contracts hold over from last season. He ex- pected five ‘more players to send in their contracts Thursday. At the club’s offices, it was stated that nearly all members of the team are members of the Baseball Players Fraternity.' CHARGES THAT PENNANT RACE IN PACIFIC LEAGUE WAS FIXED Edward R. Maier, Former Club Own- er, Makes Startling Statements. San Francisco, Jan. 28.—A charge that last year's pennant race in the Pacific Coast league was “fixed” so that the Vernon club could not win, was made in a statement by Edward R. Maier, former owner of the club, made public here today. Maler was gxpelled from the league last Septem- er. LARRY DOYLE WILL REPORT ON FEBRUARY 20TH Former Giant Second Baseman Not in Sympathy With Dave Fultz. Chicago, Jan. 22—Larry Doyle, the second baseman with the Chicago Na- tionals, aduvised President Weegh- man today that he is not in sympathy with the threat of David L. Fultz, the president of the Baseball Players Fra- ternity, to call a strike. Doyle is a member of the fraternity, but asserts he will report February 20 for the spring training trip. PLAYERS’ FRATERNITY LOWERS BAR Will be Ad- New York, Jan. 22.—The bars of the Baseball Players’ Fraternity have been lowered to admit class B and C leagues, it was announced here today by David Fultz, president of the league Hitherto only class A leagues have MARKET WAS UNSETTLED. Speculative Favorites Suffered Losses of Two to Four Points. New York, Jan. 22.—Stocks were moderately unsettled during the first half of today's session by the an- nouncement that the president would address the United States senate on impending international developments. Early gains of one to two points Spectalties -were soon replaced by ex- treme losses of 2 to 4 points in spec- ulative favorites, with more for shippings and Bethlehem Steel, the latter reacting 15 points. The purport of the chief executive’s speech became generally known in the early afternoon and prices rallied, but only in a few important cases were full recoveries made. The incident was interesting as offering fresh proof of the market’s susceptibility to out- side influences. Professionals had the field almost entirely to themselves, al- though a quickening of public inter- est was expected to follow last Sat- ’s very favorable bank statement Actlvity was greatest on the de- cline of the forenoon, trading later be- coming lstless. Bethlehem Steel was watched for some indication of action by the directors at tomorrow's meet- ing. United States Steel, as well as Crucible, Lackawanna and Gulf States Steel, were two to four points down at lowest levels, with similar recessions in shippings and coppers. . Aecessions of two to five pojnts in motors, Petroleums, Ohio, Gas, Pitts- burgh Coal and Virginta Coal, were supplemented: by more moderate sales in the leather, paper and sugar is- sues. Rails averaged ome point do- clines, with two points for Reading. ¥inal prices were only nominally above minimum quotations, U. S. Steel making a net decline of two points, with four for Bethlehem Steel. Total sales amounted to 870,000 shares. Further acute weakness was shown by Russian and Itallan Bxchange, both registering new low records with rub- les at 28.70 and lires at 7.07. German and Austrian rates also demoted lack of demand. ‘Bonds were generally lower on nar- row dealings. Total sales (par value) aggregated $4,275,000. . S. bonds were unchanged on call.

The. outit he carried last sea- son will never do. Jim hasn’t any time to waste. He wasted so much last spring that he had the old ex- cuseé of not having time to get a club of experienced players together for the opening of the season. He had had the experience and must have realized at the close of last season that it would be necessary to get cut and get a mew club for the next year. The excuse will not go again and Jim will have to produce the coming season. If he does not get busy this ‘winter and sign up a lot of good ball players, he will find himself in as big a hole in the spring as he was last spring or perhaps bigger. He can’t foster a lot of amateurs on the New Haven magnate to get busy at- once and connect with some ball players. It is figured that Owner Collins has five players from last season as a foundation for a new club. He has pitchers Harry Denovan and Frank Woodward, First Baseman “Moose” Miller, Outfielders Reed and Nutter. They - are pretty fair Class B Ddall players and might be used as a foun- dation for rebuilding the club. Pitcher Rube Bressler and Catcher Mickey Devine have graduated which iakes two pretty good men from the squad. Bressler would have no doubt Dproved valuable anotner scason, while the work of Devine appears to us as being far from big league calibre and not in the class with Johnny Nagle or Clyde Waters, two former local catch- ers. If Danny Murphy is back on the job again another season and this time is given a free rein, he will make many changes. He will without doubt re- place Courtney, Whalen, Smith and Weaver but give Chouinard a chance if he is in shape in the spring. Chouinard is a good ball player when right and a valuable cutficlder. He isn’t much of a success at second base, where he was played most of last season. Last season Murphy did not have full swing. He was handicapped,by the rope Jim Collins tied around the old pocketbook and for- that reason couldn’t go out and get ball players who were worth Class B wages. Mur- phy wanted Johnny Nogle. He wanted Jimmy Savage and several other ex- perienced players. He could Thave had them but in their stead cheaper players were secured who falled to give satisfaction. If Danny goes back another Season, it may be with the understanding that the lid will be off the pocket- book and he will be given full swing and a chance to sign ball players at ball players’ salaries. There is no question but what Murphy can get to- gether a good club. He did remark- '‘ably well with the talent he had on hand last season and showed that if given some players he is able to pull out a fast team and one that would stand good pennant winning chances. DISAPPEARANCE OF SLOW BALL HURLERS These Pitchers Have ' Gradually Crept Out of Big Leagu What has_become of the slow ball pitchers? Nap Kucker, who pitcned the slowest ball that ever crept up on a big league batsman, has retired from the service of the Brooklyn club, while Dean Dubuc, another rather famous slow balier, is also through with the Detroit Tigers after some years oL splendid service. ‘To the layman it is often a mystery how these slow ball pitcaers could get by. Reporters, some of whoin had play- ed ball at coliege and elsewhere, would sit behind Jack Warhop's service and their hands would itch for a bat so they could stick one of Hop's benders over the fence. But Warhop tnough never a star, lasted in the big league seven years. And Jack never had any luck or he would have been rated mucn higher as a pitcher than was the case. Then there is Al Demaree, with his dinky little slow curve, whi has made monkeys out of the. Giants for the last two years. Everybody aiwayy admitted Demaree had hardly o thing, but he gets by. While eyverybody was raving about Al the first year he was with the Giants, in 1913. McGraw once said: “No Demaree is not a great pitcher. He has nothing but a littie curve and confidence.” Al perhaps has less now than he had then but that littie curve and corfidence won five games from the Giant sluggers last season.. And Al always feels so bad after he has taken a fall out of McGraw's bunch! BATTLING KUNZ AND PITTS FOUGHT A DRAW Bout Went Ten Rounds—Plenty of Action. Danbury, Conn., Jan. 22.—Battling Kunz of South Norwalk and Charlie Pitts of Bridgeport tonight fought ten fast rounds to a draw, in the opinicn of a majority of sporting writers. There was plenty of action in every round but no knockdowns. Young Munday of New York and Pepper Martin of Bridgeport boxed eight rounds to a draw in the semi- final. In the preliminary bout, Tom- my White of Ridgefield broke his thumb in the fifth round of his fight with Bennie Hertz of Norwalk and the contest was stopped. CITY BOWLING LEAGUE. Taftville Defeated by Aetna—Palace Won From Riverview. The Aetna five defeated Taftville three straight strings Monday night in the City Bowling league. Pardy rolled high single and total. The Palace team defeated the River- view club two out of three strings. The scores: Palace. 84 81 91— 256 92 98 30— 270 101 92 101— 294 74 90 83— 247 82 120 106— 308 433 481 |a well known business man Portland Bastern league franchise of which he is thé sole owner, to Hiram ‘"‘ in_the ‘Maine city. Duffy and Abrams held a conference in Boston Saturday and ‘terms were agreed upon. It is belleved that “the sale will be ratified by the league at a special meeting of the or- ganization this week. Associated with Abrams. according to a well founded rumor are Harry Lord, the former White Sox star and Fred Parent in his day one of the greatest infielders in_the business. The sale of the Portland club’was brought about #hen Duffy failed ‘to get Fitchburgh capitalists to buy the team. At the time he asked 35,000 for the club, which was too high. It is said that he will receive $4,500 cash from Abrams. It was re- cently decided at a meeting of the Eastern league magnates to oust Portland from the circuit. This ac- tion was decided upon because of the Tong jumps from Bridgeport to Port- Jand. " There is no_telling what will happen ‘now_that Duffy has- sold the club to a Portland man. It is belleved, however, that many members of the league' will protest the presence of Portland in the league lineup for next season. Made Money. Duffy assumed command of the Portland franchise in 1912. At the time Portland was made a member of the old New England league. Dufty was_practically handed the ball club. There ,was a scrap in Fall River and Jack O'Brien, _who__controlled the mill city franchise handed his hold- irgs to Duffy for a small sum. Duffy nt to Portland where he was given a long lease on Bayside park for prac- ticaily nothing and in addition a help- ing hand from the Chamber of Com- merce. His first year in the New ¥ng- land league netted him $12,000 clear. Portland went baseball mad that year. The next year, he was the only man in the league Wwho cleaned up. Business fell off in 1915, and was al- o poor last year. This prompted the shrewd Mr. Duffy to unload his fran- chise. During the four years that Duffy has been in’ the baseball in the Puritan states, he twice finished sec- ond. landed a’ pennant and finished third. MOIST BALL WILL BE USED NEXT SEASON. Too Late to Rule Against Its Use in Opinion of Club Managers. At the recent National league meet- ing certain of the radical newcomers to the game, headed by Percy D. Haughton, of the Braves, took up cud gels against the spitball. ~ This style of delivery was discussed with other presumed drawbacks, or alleged draw- backs, only in an informal way. The idea 'was to permit several more months of reflection on_the points at issue. so that some definite stand might be taken at the scheduled meet- ing in February. At the time the writer questioned practically all of the managers of prominence on the subject. Without exception these men, irrespective of their personal opinions as to the de- livery, declared anti-legialation at this late date would be nothing short of in- Justice. A Public Institution. “The spitball” said Jimmy Callahan, manager of the Pirates, “has through very tolerance itself become as much of a public institution among _the players as the curve, It is the chief stock in trade of many able pitchers, Wwho must depend directly on this style of delivery as a means of livelihood for many years to come. There are in course of development at the pres- ent time, I dare say, hundreds upon hundreds, if not thousands upon thou- sands of young pitchers in the land who have devoted long study to the development of a style of delivery that has been recognized as legal for a dozen years and more. “In my opinion, the baseball mag- nates might as well try to bar’ the curve or speed. Mind you, I do not champion the spitball. But I do be- lieve no employer has the right to take away such an_effective weapon after it has been recognized and encour- “If the spitball ever was objection- ‘I the spitball ever was objection- able it should have been barred from the start. Legislation was taken against the emery ball immediately it was discovered. No general hardship was experienced, because _discovery came before the’ style had been mas tered by any great number of pitch- ers. Russell Ford had kept his secret well for several yeape.” “The spitball is here to stay.” said Fred Mitchell, manager of the Cubs. “But I believe it would be a good thing to guard against exaggeration of all kinds. T do not believe that any for- eign substances should be allowed in the pitcher's box. It is quite as un- fair, in my opinion, to permit the use be applied to the ball as it is to be aplied to the ball as it is to rougherf the leather surface with emery or sandpaper. Give a pitcher advantage he may possess in his cal_self; he is entitled to as much. But stop the use of artificlal Batting Too Light. . Haughton's campaign of reform was launched, he said, in the interest of striking a closer balance between the offence and defence of the game. He deplored _with others the apparent mastery modern pitching had gained over batting. Without entering into any argument or offering in rebuttal the careers of Cobb, Speaker, Jackson. Baker and E. Collins, let is be ad- mitted that the batting is too light in comparison, Every one knows that the fan loves action and that action de- pend directly on hitting. Now another element creeps in—the economy of time. Fans of today are different from those of ten years ago. With the wonderfully improved acili- ties or transportation a modern ball game should mean a few hours recre- CATARRH CANNOT BE CURED with local applications, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease.

Danny Murphy if given the right of way this year will have some team on the fleld in New Haven. Danny was handicapped at the start last sea- son. Reports state that George Carpen- tier, the fighting aviator who is in the French Aviation corps. will_come to this country after the war. When will the war end? Fans need not worry of a baseball strike unless they see Ty Cobb, Frank Baker, Tris Speaker, Duffy Lewis and other ‘moted stars performing picket duty at the ball parks. What comes next in the baseball werld. The grand old game just jumped out of controversy with the Federal league and now it is confront- ed with trouble with players. Nearly time the umps sent up a noise. Captain Huston part owned of the New York Americans in commenting on the baseball situation says that if's a shame that baseball should be con- stantly kicked around like an old tin can. Percy Haughton is_credited with a desire to establish a better balance in baseball, equalizing the offense and defense. On the other hand a majority of the magnates are worrying over the financial defense. ‘The grst indoor athletic meet of th winter will be welcomed here Wednes. day night when a team of athletes representing the New London Y. M. C. A. wili compete with the best ma- {erial available . the local Y. M. C. All Taftville and Jewett City will turn out tonight to see the initial basketball games of the series. If the dope is right it will be some clash. Taftville and Jewett City always did match up pretty good on the floor and this year is no exception. Ban Johnson says that “We do not propose to be heckled and annoyed continually and if T had my way I should have settled the question sev- eral years ago, when the fraternity members were lined up to go out in sympathy with First Baseman Kraft. Ban says his answer would have been as it is now, a lockout or a strikeout. Absolutely Removes Indigestion, One package provesit. 25cat all druggists, Dr. J. M.
