Philadelphia, Feb. 26.—“Bullet Joe” Bush, the star pitcher of the Philadel- phia American Leasue baseball team, who has been a holdout, signed a con- tract today. Connie Mack also talked ith Amos Strunk, his fleet fielder, al- so a holdout, but there was no settle- ment. It seems to make no difference what way Dave Caldwell runs his 1,000 yard races these day, for he is returned a winner just the same. Only a while ago, when Dave won the Hunter mile, his specialty was supposed to be run- ning his race from behind, but in the special 1,000 yard at the schoolboy games Dave ran_his race just the_re- yerse. He set the pace from the be- ginning and made every post a win- ning post, in_spite of the fact that he was supposed to be & no-pace winner. ‘oil stocks A remarkable dispari 228 South La Salle Street CHICAGO Long Distance Phone, Harrison 4992 WILLIAM C.

There is no doubt whatever that the change in the distance of the varsity eight-oared race at the regatta this year from four miles to three is a good thing. Bveryone is pleased. But it is not going to affect the winning or losing of races. Crews | are much like Ted Meredith, when; good they can go any distance just a| little than all competitors. Nor is the she distance going to make college oarsmen more or less healthy. But to read of the change ons might think the three-mile race a departure from all precedent. On the contrary three-mile races are old and establish. ed customs. The Pacific oCast regat- ta are three mile acairs and the inter- collegiate Rowing association held one at Saratogabeck in 1898, Pennsylvania winning. Penn Crew Remarkable. That Pennsylvaniu crew was a most remarkable one. It was good at any distance. For a period of four years, beginning in 1898, when John Gard ner, who played quarter on the eleven, was stroke oar, this boat was a win ner, excepting in one race. Most of the men were in the same class, men like Gardiner, Flickwir, Davenport, Growther, Kintzing and Allyn. They began life by winning ths intercolle giate regatta—a three mile race—i 1898, defeating Cornell and Columbia. | For the next two years this boat won MARKET CLOSED ACTIVE. Midday Session Was at Standstill While Excerpts of President’s Ad- dress Were Being Issued. New York, Feb. 26.—President Wil- son’s message to congress requesting authority to arm American ships and recommending other means for _the protection of the country’s merchant marine was the outstanding incident P T O e e et. Trading was almost at a standstill during the mid-session while the news tickers were issuing excerpts of the president’s address, but business be- came more active in the final hour to the accompaniment of-the day's best prices. Extreme gains of 2 3-4 and 4 1-2 points, respectively, were scored by Mercantile Marine common and pre- ferred, with 2 1-2 for United Fruit and 6 5-8 for Atlantic, Gulf and West In- dies. TUnited States Steel moved unevenly at times, but steady absorption of fair- 1y large lots finaily effected an extreme gain of two points, with an average of one point for allied industrials, nota- bly Lackawanna and Crucible Steels and Republic Iron. Metals, particularly American Smelt- ing and Anaconda, Utah and Inspira- tion Coppers, hardened on familiar trade reports of a favorable character, and such equipments as Central Leather, American Can and American and Baldwin Locomotives were firm to strong. Ofls were unusual®y active, consid- ering the relatively narrow scope of the day’s operation, with Texas Com- pany leading at a gross advance of 4 1-2 points. Some of the motors, su- gars and fertilizers suggested further short covering and utilities were fea- tured by Brooklyn Transit, which rose 1 1-2 points on declaration of the reg- ular dividend. High grade rails, aside from Reading end Union Pacific, which made mod- erate gains, were dull and without material change, but New Haven, Southern Railway preferred and Sea- board Air Line preferred reacted one to_almost two_ points. Bethlehem Steel issues and Indus- trial Alcohol were included among the heavy Industrials and specialties. Total sales aggregated 427,000 shares.

It appeared to be fairly digging its way down the river. But at each stroke the low-measured beat of the Henley eight brought its shell nearer and nearer to the second crew: with long runs between stroke it passed it and ing at each dip of the oar untii it crossed the line several lengths in ad- vance. All the while the rowing critic was sitting in_the launch with the coach saying, “My, how they do row!” * * * “[ have never seen a crew so fast as that”” * ® * * “Mr Ward, you have worked wonders. Navy Proved Hard. This crew was a wonderful one at that. At Annapolis in May of the last year of its life, the season it went to 1 it met a tartar in the Navy eight in a two mile affair. The water was very roug! condition the Quak- ers were not accustomed to but none most favoratle for the N: Fortu- nately, for Pent: Navy had the outsi rs» coming up the Sev- ern. the first stroke the Navy had all the better of the argument and it lool ictory for this eight. After a quarter mile had proven to Smith, the Httle coxswain of the Quakers, 'that his crew could not row over whitecaps, pump water from the shell as he might, he turned the nose necessary Francis J. Heney, speaking for the commission, told the publishers that any of their number who would not agree. to hold paper recuirements to the minimum would be kept from ben- efiting by the. price reduction if the commission could accomplish it. More than 100 publishers, representing both large and small newspapers, were present at the. meeting. The publishers’ assent to the - al removes virtually all doubt of its acceptance by the trade commission, and after manufacturers are seen again Wednesday, it is believed the commission will announce it i ready to go ahead with the plan. Most of the publishers present buy from the paper mills whose representatives signeq the proposal. The trade com- mission pelieves enough manufactur- ers are particinating to insure a gen- eral price break. Paublishers made it clear today that in ascepting the proposal they will not accept any plan carying with it a promise that manufacturers guilty of violating the anti-trust laws escape punishment. At a meeting held before they saw the commission a resolution was adopted saying: It is the sense of those assembled that whatever may be the outcome of these pending ~ conferences there should, in the judzment of this meet- ing, be no suspension or interruption of the investigation jinto the causes leading to the. conditions now exist- ing in the news print paper trade now proceeding throusgh the agency of the Aepartment of justic ‘When this declaration was re=d to thé commission, Mr. Henry, who is conducting the ' commission’s news print investigation, declared the de- partment of justice had no intention of stopping its investigdtion. Fub- lishers have insisted that they want free competition restored in print pa- per manufacture and .thruoshout con- ferences here within the last few days have demanded naction either by the trade commission or the department of the boat toward shore, moved far off the course and along the bank Then his crew purted and pulled, spurted and palled, and by great bursts of speed tot a lcad. As shells had to finish be- tween stake boats well out toward midstream Smith hac to bFing his boat back to the middie of the river at an angle. We never kncw on the stake boats which eight lead. The Quakers and th: Navy sprinted the last quarter ard the Red a Blue came in over the line some 19 feet ahead. When the Navy shel] crossed the line it was so filled with water taat it submerged, the men taking to the water. The Freshm Navy was of as “n order, for_differe, After the crews had rowea yards or more, Catcheart, the Penn Fresh- men boa: car. He warited to jump overboard but his crewmates would not permit, fearing an ocar or < him in the head. Yet, in spite of this handicap, the Freshmen came in first. Men All in Best of Health. All! of the men who sat in those shells have been in good health since. None have athletic hearts or have been affected in a detrimental way by their rowing experiences. The men of the Pennsylvania Hanley eight, who rowed all distances from a mile and five-eights to four all thought the hardest race they ever pulled was the shortest, that at Hanley, though the reason for this mizht easily be traced to defeat. Indeed, the more one thinks of it the more one is inclined to be- liv_that it is th “psychological mind” and not the athltic heart which caused most of the trouble in athletics, in- cluding many defeats. Boys will fall over in a boat at New London, if it is a losing one, although the crew which rowed harder and comes in first usual.- Iy sits up and cheers. Recently in Florida, a former Quak- er oarsman and the writer of this ar- ticle viewed the last tournament play of Walter J. Travis in golf. ‘The “Grand Oll Man” of the same was far Off in the game, that had brought him in winner of three American and one British amateur championship. For four days he.played men, one a mere voungster, who could outdrive _him, approach with him and putt with the same unerring accuracy. Twice, on his way to_the finals, he was down at the turn. But in every match he won, generally between the 15th and 1Sth holes. It was not good plaving by Travis that caused these results, for his game was not as of old. It was the “psychclogical mind” of the oppo- nents. When they got in sight of home the.idea of beating Travis was too much to carry. Down they went. All of which caused us to remark to each other that athletics cause and later cure, “psychological minds.” All in all they do a good work.

The final consent of the publishers to the plan came after a da% of con- ferences at which many of the larger newspaper owners objected strongly condition that wou'd take from thev have contracted for. Smail publishers and members of the trade cormwjssion, however, pointed out that swcress of the proposal de- pended entirely on such a concession and when vote was taken not a pub- isher vot in the negative.

They said, however, that it might not become necessary for any publisher to use less than he needs. The danger, as they saw it, was that publishers wonld take advantage of the lower price to go into the market for large quantities of paper and bring ahout a shortage. The statement was made that the commission’s investi- gation had shown there was no short- age, but that the margin between pro- duction and. consumption was close. It was made clear that the commission would enter into no arbitration plan with the price alone the factor and FOE no asmpent | aw to. distziin tion.

Billy Hamiiton appears to be in bad there. ‘The Boston National league club has set aside Monday, May 14, as Fred Mitchell day, that being the occasion of the Chicago Cubs' first visit to Boston under the managerial direction of the late Braves' scout and Harvard baseball coach. Sherwood Magee's signed contract made its appearance at Draves' fleld Sunday via special delivery from Phil- adelphia. Manager George T. Stallings rather looks forward to marked improvement this season from George A. Davis, Jr., who pitched that memorable no-hit game for the Braves, back in the fall of '14. Although Davis is now a full- fledged New York lawyer, having pass- ed his examinations only this month, he has decided to follow baseball for another year, although it had been generally expected he would retire from the game, SWAMP-ROOT STOPS SERIOUS BACKACHE When your back aches, bladder and kidneys seem to be dis- ordered, remember it is needless to suffer—go to your nearest drug store and get a bottle of Dr. Kilmers Swamp-Root.
