Attorney- GIANTS LED LAST SEASON IN BASE STEALING New Yorkers Got Away With 14 Dou- , ble Steals. Steve O'Nelll of the Indians is con- sidered one of the best young catchers in the American League, but the dope sheets show he has one Wweakness—he is not overly competent in breaking up double steals in which the plate is the objective point. e hundred and seven such steals, in which all par- ties concerned handled the ball clean- ly and yet the runner on third came in safely, were perpetrated in the ma- jor leagues last season, nine being pulled on the man from Minooka. Mi- nooka, inctdentally, being also the win- ter home of Chick Shorten and Mike McNally. The major league team that Special- ized in double steals was the Giants. They got away with 14. The Braves made eight and the Red Sox four. George Burns of the Giants and Ja- quee Fournier of the White Sox each led four double steals that went through the planned, and Bert Shot- ton of the Browns, Walter Maranville of the Braves and Bert Niehoff of the Phillies each headed two. The successful steals of the plate last vear, in which two men partici- pated and in which the ball was han- dled cleanly, were as follows: BY Giants, 14—Burns 4, Fletcher 2, Merkle 2.

Pennock and Oscar Jenkins Send in Contracts. » Boston, Feb. 7.—Herbert J. Pennock, a pitcher, and Oscar Jenkins, an out- flelder, sent their signed contracts to- day to the Boston American league baseball club. Jenkins was secured last fall, from the Griffin, Ga., club of the Georgia-Alabama league. At the National league headquarters it was stated that the signed contract of Joseph W. Wilhoit had been re- ceived, accompanied by a letter saying that the contract was conditional upon the approval of the Baseball Players’ Fraternity, of which Wilhoit is a member. BOB FOLWELL RE-ENGAGED i AS COACH AT PENN. Contract Contains a War Clause for First Time History. Philadelphia, Feb. “The reappoint- ment of Robert C. Folwell as coach of the University of Pennsylvania football team for next season was ratified by the university authorities today. For the first time in the his- tory of athletics @t Pennsvlvania, the contract of a coach contains a war clause to the effect that the agree- ment will be void in the event of war between the United States and any other nation. Claims New Londoners Dead. The Sporting Editor has received a letter concerning a proposed bowling match with a New London team in which the writer eulogizes the New Londoners.

Dealings Were tainty of the International Situa New York, Feb. 7.—The conflicting and shifting movements attendant up- on today’s operations were in them- selves evidence of the increasing un- certainties arising from the inter- national situation. Shares of the numerous companies which are likely to derive additional revenues from the sale of war products were again brought forwarj. while rails evinced greater heaviness on the recurrence of liquidation commonly accepted as emanating {from Teutonic sources. This view was heightened by the weakness of Canadian Pacific, a former favorite of the Berlin bourse, which made a gross decline og 6 1. to 148, its lowest price in almost two vears. Shares of the “Soo” road, a Canadian Pacific subsidiary, yielded S points, with one to three for other transcon- tinentals, grangers, coalers and some of the southern division. Minor rails were in light demand, with fresh weakness in New Haven. Specialties were at their best during the early part of the session, losing virtually all their advantage on the later reversal in rails. United States Steel closed at a net loss of 1 3-8 points after having shown an actual gain of practically a point. Chaneges in other industrials, coppers and various unclassified issues were, greater, forenoon advances of 3 to 6 poi being substituted by net loss- es of one to three points, all the ac- tivity of the last hour being on the down scale. Total sales amounted to 935.000 shares. * The extraordinary strength of ex- change rates on Berlin, cables advanc- ing 70 1-8 in the afternoon, as against yesterday’'s rate of 67 1-8, seemed con- .of the report that Qerman selling securities here g the proceeds home.

They have determined to put it squarely up to the players—they can either accept them or leave them. 3 It is further understood that all the players who are not in line when the big league seasons open on April 12 and who have not good excuses for their failure to be in line shall be blacklisted. Of course club owners will not make statements to this ef- fect, but it is reported that such is their intention. This means that all players, regard- less of their ability, who have not signed contracts and reported ready for duty by the time the season opens will be punished by indefinite suspen- sion. Practically all of the clubs have made arrangements to fill any vacan- cies in their ranks with minor league players who have applied for posi- tions. The Brooklyn club is one of the hardest hit, but Charles Ebbets has asserted that his terms are final and that if his players do not care to accept them he will enzage other Players to perform for his club. The fact that so many of the star players ;are either under contract for this year or have signcd new contracts is regarded as a sizn that the back- bone of the threatened strike is broken and that nothing serious will come of it. However, the owners are deter- mined that striking players will be se- verely punished by indefinite suspen- sion.

BE SUSPENDED “Fighting Bob” was out to Franklin Field y_and had a personal in- | terviey with Major Pickering, grad been a staunch supporter of Folwell. In the morning Wharton Sinkler, chairman of the football committee, and Folwell were closeted together and undoubtedly talked over the question_ for next fall. The football committee will have to meet some time'| the Jatter part of this week or on next Monday as the board of - directors which mgets on Tuesday makes the final ratification of the coach. Sink- ler has not as Vet set any definite date for, this meeting. ‘The undergraduates are jubliant over .the outcome of this controversy, as they give Folwell all credit for the wonderful showing made by the Red and Blue team during the last season. 1f there had not been such an amica- ble settlement of the case there is no doubt but that the entire undergradu- ate body to a man would have risen up and declared themselves in favor of Folwell and demanded a radical change in the appointing power. How- ever, all is peaceful now and the stu- dents have settled down to their old routine which was so completely de- moralized at the start of this contro- versy. All the football men are pleased at the outcome and give the entire credit to Captain Miller who from the start heartily endorsed Folwell. “Lou” Lit- tle, the star tackle, who was operated on several days ago to have his tonsils and adenoids removed, is getting along fine at the University hospital and ex- pects to be out in a couple of days.

A. B. tug of war team has won the championship of the Y. M. C. A. tug of war league and_ therefore lays claim to the championship of the city. The team did not lose a single match. The team comprised John Clabby, John Ludwig, Edward Ed- wards, Christopher Barry, Gerald Car- thy and Charles Ludwig. Doings in The Auto World To date, the history of the automo- bilg business has been a constant struggle for perfection. The manufac- turers have endeavored first of all to produce mechanical efficiency. When that was obtained in some degree, at- tention was next turned to beautifying the car's exterior. The process of re- finement has gone on until there are practically no radical changes meces- sary in the present day automobile. The disadvantages of changing models simply for the purpose of ‘bringing out a new car each year are manifest even to the man with no knowledge of manufacturing. On the other hand, a revolution in the atti- tude of the public toward certain types of motors might necessitate an entire change in the maker's plans. It is known of one big motor company whose sales head, some years ago, announced in a circular letter to the dealer organization that his particular company would never build six cylin- der cars. But the public changed his mind for him. Inside of a year that concern was manufacturing sixes ex- lusively. In deciding to eliminate yearly changes of model the manufactgrers te manager, who has always | are merely following the dictates of Zood business. Costly experimental work, expensive new dies and patterns and other features attending the pro- duction of a new model will not be included in our overhead for the com- ing year. Instead we offer the public a product of known worth, with the testimonials of thousands of owners in our files to back up our own state- ments. Yearly models were for a long time considered a sales stimulus. Today this theory is known to be fallacious. It is believed that.the buying public has been educated to the point where motor cars are bought the same as any other legitimate article of mer- chandise. ~ Styles in motor car bodies, like styles in millinery, may change with the season. But it is entirely possible to make adjustments of this kind in mid-season, without waiting for another year to roll around. In other words, we believe the automobile manufacturer will incorporate refine- ments from time to time, without con- fusing the public with an interminable line of new models. This policy will result in twofold satisfaction. The car purchaser will know he is receiving the ‘latest thing in cars, whether he buys in June or December. And the manufacturer will benefit because it will balance his selling season and en- able him t oturn out cars at an even pace throughout the 12 months of the vear. Now that Uncle Sam has definitely set forth what the government will do in the matter of roads building during the next five years, it is_certain that during that period the United States will be the scene of the greatest high- ways activity any nation has .ever known. Uncle Sam has agreed to spend $85,- 000,000 building highways in the sev- eral states, provided the states will spend $75,000,000, the total to be $160,- 000,000 spent for roads within the next five years. Of its $85,000,000, the gov- ernment will expen: $10,000,000 in roads in forest reserves. That the fed- eral proposition appeals to the states, and thereby presages the .nation' greatest highway building era, is con- clusively shown in letters from the va- rious state highway departments to the American Automobile association, published in the Feb: issue of American Motorist. Whi all the’ states had not been heard from, the series of letters will be concluded in the March issue. This is the first assembled states’ expreui:lr‘lis ofdflle:r vlulld under the federal aid rond act, and it shows that majority of the states are g +i- heartily bw;;n Unele in making the nal a present will ‘benefit the people in either m of war or times of peace, economically, or from a pleasure-giving viewpoint.

No Further Advice From State D partment. Passengers who intended to sail to ‘Europe are referred by the state de- partment to the officials of the lines on which they are to sail, on the basis that such officials can, if they wish, show them the opinion rendered by the department as to their right to sail and explain o them any measures that may have been taken for safety. It is understood from this that Cne department will issue no further statement. Austrian Situation Hopéless. The Austrian situation seemed more hopeless today tham at any time since the German declaration. Charge Zwiedinek called at the department but no details were given out either as to his visit or as to whether informa- tion explanatory of the Austrian note has been received from Vienna. An interview cabled from here, however, indicated Austria's total adhesion to the German policy and about dispell- ed what little hope remained of a modus vivendi that would prevent a severance and allow the United States still to care for the great prison camps over which she has assumed guardianship. Vigorous Protests From .

Because of the disabling of some of the ships, however, precautionary measures have been adopted. Germans to be Treated With Consid- eration. Spokesmen of the administration went to great pains to empnasize that the American government will follow the letter of the law in dealing with German subjects and property in the United States and that no official of the government has been authorized to take any steps in violation of this policy. Even should war come, Ger- man residents will be treated with the utmost consideration. It is under- stood the government has virtually determined to observe the terms of the old Prussian-American treaty of 1828, under which the citizens of each country in the territory of the other would be given nine months in which to dispose of their personal and real | property and leave the country. DISTRIBUTION OF RELIEF FUNDS NOT INTERRUPTED Statement Given Out by Former Am- bassador Morgenthau. New York, Feb. 7.—Distribution of relief funds among Armenian and Syrians in Turkey will not be inter- rupted seriously as a result of the strained relations between Germany and the United States, Henry Mor- genthau, former ambassador fo Tur- key, asserted today after a meeting o fthe American Committee for Ar- menian and Syrian Relief. Mr. Morgenthau said that as Ameri- ca had been Turkey’'s most interested friend, it is unlekly the Ottoman Em- pire would desire to change present relations with this country. “The interest of American in Tur- key has been humane,” he asserted, “and not commercial or political. Turkey realizes this fact and further- more looks primarily to America for assistance after the war.” - Derby~—To elect a representative to the general assembly at Hartford a special city election will be held next week, the call for the meeting being issued Saturday by Mayor Sullivan and ‘Town Clerk Bergin.
