Final Scores and Relative Standing to Be Settled Next Week. The hens in the sixth laying con- test at Storrs are now on the last lap. ‘After one more week, the final scores and relative standing of each pen will be settled. Meanwhile, however, things continue to hapren. In the 51st week Applecock Farms Barred Rocks from Fitzwilliam, N. H., moved up into first place, thus supplanting the New York pen of Leghorns that have been lead- ing for.virtually the whole year. In the 'Wyandotte class a Connectlout pen was displaced by Jay H. Ernisse’s pen from Webster, N. Y. In the R. I. Red group a pen from St. Albans, Vt, eased up enough to let in Jacob E. Jansen’s birds from North Haven. During the week there were seven pens, including White Rocks, Rhode sland Reds and Leghorns, that did not lay any eggs at all, as compared with an average yield of a little over 44 eggs for each of the three best pens. such discrepancies in _ production among the several pens at once sug- | gest that changes must be expected | even up to the last week. All three ‘of the leading pens for the week werg. White Wyandottes. Obed G. Knight's birds from Bridgeton. R. I, got first place with a yield-of 48§ e£gs. This was the only pen in the entire contest in which the whole 10 birds were laying. Tom Barron’s pen from Catforth, Eng., won second with a production of 43 eggs. and Jay H. Ernisse’s birds from Webster. N. Y., vere third with a_yield of 42 esgs. Laurel Hill Farm’s Rhode Island Reds, Nos. 412 and 418, were the only two birds in the entire contest that made verfect individual scores for the week.

Coast Guard to take care of New York, Oct. 25.—President Jacob RIIDM of the New Yark _Ameri- League team, announced today he had signed Miller Huggins, mana- ger of the St. Louis team, to manage the Yankees under a two year con- tract. Huggins will succeed Willlam Dono- van, who has managed the Yankees for the last three seasons. He con- forred last week with’ Branch Rickey, president of the St. Louis Nationals, and they were unable to reach term: He then accepted the offer from the New York club. Huggins has spent his entire ma- jor league career in the National League up to the present. He was purchased by Cincinnati from St. Paul in 1903 and played there until 1910, when he was traded to St. Louis. He was appointed manager of the St. Louis club in 1912 and retired as an active player last season. During his career as manager, St. Louls fin- ished third twice, the highest the club bad been since 1876. President Ruppert sald Donovan will not be retained in any capacity although Ruppert paid’ an eloquent tribute to the former manager, say- ing his release caused him more grief than anything which has happened during his business career. Huggins said he had no immediate plans for the club, although he thinks he has the nucleus of a strong team and expects the club to be ‘well up in the race. He will bring with him Thomas Connery, the former scout of the Cardinals. In comment on Huggins' engage- ment by the Yankees, President John K Tener of the National League said: “The National League wishes Hug- gins every success in his new field. He always was a hard worker as a player and manager and we trust he ci.’.\n make a success of his new posi- tion. Huggins {s the ninth manager en- zaged by the New York Americans since a club was placed in New York, the others being Griffith, Elberfeld, Stallings, Chase, Wolverton, Chance, Peckinpaugh and.

Two Unfinished Races Left Over From Tuesday Run Off on Thursday ‘Windsor, Conn., Oect. 25—Two un- finished races left over from Tuesday, 1116 i which @gured the 2.16 pace and the 2.23 pace, were Jun off today and the 2.20 trot was MARKET WAS UNSETTLED. It Wi Caused by Further Drastic Liquidation of Rails. = - New York, Oct. 25.—For the further drastic liquidation of rails, which again unsettied the stock market today, the explaration most commonly accepted was that the movement bore Airect re- Jation to enforced selling incident to the seizure of German holdinss in this country. This theory was strengthen- ed by the fact that, the stocks that suffered greatest losses included those once in favor with German investors. Canadian Pacific, an erstwhile fa- vorite on the Berlin exchange, was the weakest stock, falling 5 1-2 points to 143 3-4, with practically no recov- er; United Pacific made a new min- imum for several years at an ex- treme setback of over two points to 7-8. Other high grade rails in the international markets prior to the war yielded one to three points in active and minor issues recording similar Josses. The weakness of transportations was the more striking because of the better tendencies- manifested else- ‘where. Shippings were the strong- est feature of the earlier session, at gains of one to two points, steels and allled industrials were then one to 2 1-2 points higher and numer- ous specialties advanced substantial- ly. In every noteworthy instance, ‘| however, gains gave way to losses un- der the increasing depression shown by _rails. Reversals were accomplished 4n nom- inal operations, trading at no period being more than moderately active. Little support was forthcoming at any time, the list closing with a weak undertone. Sales amounted to 635,- 009 shares. The strength of Liberty bonds at 99.80 to 99.94 was the only feature cf the heavy bond market. Sales (par value) aggregated $7,7000,000. United States bonds (old issue) un- changed on call, coupon 4's losing 1-4 per cent. on sales. 200 Dome Mines MILLER HUGGINS TOMANAGE YANKEES —— Former St. Louis.

The score tor the match is De Oro 150; Daly 129. De Oro’s high run tonight was six, while Daly’s best was a five. SCHALK MOST VALUABLE PLAYER ‘IN LEAGUE White Sox Would Have Different Team Without Stellar Backstop. Who is the most valuable man to his club in the American league? was asked of an American league umpire, who for obvious reasons shall remain unnamed. “Ray Schalk, beyond any question,” he said. “Without Schalk the White Sox are a different club, they play ragzedly, the pitchers work erratically. Outside his mechanica! playing Schalk is a wonderful influence on a ball clul But on top of this Schalk is a won- derful ball player, the brainiest, fast- est catcher in baseball today. There was a little incident at the Chicago park a few days ago which illustrates how he fields his_position. Schalk had just missed a high foul ball which twisted and spiraled in the air. “I have watched almost every game he played In this park for years,” commented a man in one of the boxes. “This is the first time I ever saw Schalk drop a foul ball.” It wasn’t the first time Schalk had dropped a foul, but the occasions have, been so rare that it attracted more attention than if many catchers had dropped half a dozen during the game. Schalk, by the way, started out to be a linotype operator and was an as- sistant arcund a printing shop until he found minor league baseball more lucrative. He started playing down at Tay- lorsville, Ill, but lasted only about half a season in that league, being sold to Milwaukee. Tt took Ray less than a year to show his caliber in class AA baseball and he was pur- chased by Comiskey at a price said to have been $17,000, more than h: ever been paid for another catcher. DAVE ROBERTSON HITS HARD IN SERIES Would Be Top Batsman He Could Hit Daily at Rate He Mlk“ In the World’s Series Games. Oné of the most interesting aspects of the late world series has been thfl transformation of$>Dave Robert: the husky young Virginian right ne|. ing for the Giants. Two_ years ago Dave, then a with the ancient Second Ty Cobb la- hteil,k!!x.rted out to make that label stick. By July of 1915 he was batting .360 and hitting the ball with terrific force. A few weeks later his descent be- gan. He dropped to .300. And this year, in place of resuming, he slum; ed still further, until he Anished the year below .260. As a resuit of this long slump from his old heights, no great attention was paid to Robertson, when this se- ries, swung under way. But before any ‘one knew it Dave was out beyond such stars as Joe Jackson, Eddie Col- lins, Hap Felsch, Benny Kauff and George Burns. the fifth game he had ten hits packed away, with an average only a shade below the four- game world series mark of nk Gowdy in 1914. bertson not only started out hitting. but hitting with ——————_—-—_—_—._..__—“__ the ease and confidence of a Cobb at nis ‘best. From an averageé workman he had climbed to the appearance of great- ness, and it was no one or two game flash. Being a ball player of fine -speed and tremendous physical power, he has-only to carry this confidence along to be one of the great stars of .the same. 1f Dave would orly go into.an or- dinary cveryday pennant-playing ball game as he went into this world se- ries he would be up around the rest. One of the most popular Giant ath- letes in a strictly persanal way with the White Sox has been ‘Benny Kauff. “I'll take my hat off -to Kau#,” re- marked Eddie Collins. “In the first three or four games he went to bat thirteen times without a hit. Yet he bad no alibi to offer and no excuse to make. He knew how much was expected of him, and it was easy -to see his bitter disappointment in thoso early games. But throush it all he only blamed himself. “The balls are there to hit,” he.told me, “and I have no_excuse to .’ The fielding and-batting of Eddie Collins from the start proved beyond any debate that he is still the star second baseman of the game, and.for all-around value probably .the great- est second baseman that ever -lived. He can hit, field, run bases and.come through with any needed play. Old- timers refer to Fred Pfeffer was a great second baseman, .but he could never hit within a block of Collins, according to baseball veterans who bave seen both play. Collins failed to bat .300 thig last season, but when the series -started, even against left-handed pitching, he lost no great time in pulverizing the ball. A left-handed batsman who can hit first class left-handed pitching-as cffectively -as Collins did most of the way is not to be linked t6 any known weakness at bat. Chips From the Cla; Trapshots - By Peter P. Carney,’ Editor National Sports Syndicate. On_the program of a recent shoot of the Old Forge, (N. Y.) Gun Club, un- der the title of trophies, this one by a local dentist: “My services to fill or pull one_toot! It would be a good thing ‘for the In. terstate Association next season to try and prevent conflicting dates for state championships in adjoining states. Fifty thousand turkeys, weighi average of 12 pounds, Or a to 600,000 pounds, is the estimate of the number of turkeys used yearly in.the ‘hanksgiving day shoots by the gun clubs of the United Stdtes. It is within the range of. possibility that there will be more prizes in the Grand American Handicap in 1918. Fifty prizes have been en for a number of years, but with the list of entrants touching the 800 mark there should be at least 100 men to divide the purse. An unusual incident occurred _at Newcastle-by-the-Sea (N, H) one day late this season. A. ), of Wa- tertown, Mass., was lhooun‘ in a 100- target event for the novice prize. He had broken 84 targets and as he called “pull” for his last .clay, two wild started across the fleld, flying low. Mr. Gosse passed up the clay target and brought down both birds, as he was using a_double-barrel gun. Ths ‘Westy Hogans shoot should be known as the Lewis and Clark Expe- dlflon to Atlantic City, for Lloyd Lewis Clark are the fellows who hl.ndll the shoot. In five days this an of n:.ooo ‘The receipts ran from $1.50 to $28 a'man, and the pay- ments were made from 30 cents to $300. When they checked up there was a difference of $3.35, which isn't much out of the way on $22,000. With the running of the recent Grand American Trapshooting Tour- nament, Elmer E. Shaner celebrated his twenty-fifth anniversary as man- ager of the Interstate Tournaments. He has. seen trapshooting grow from nothing until it is now one of the leading sports of the world. Warren G. Ferren wanted to attend Harvard. “You'll have to dig up the price,” sald his folks; and that is what he is doing. With a spade and bucket Warren went to the Welling- ton (Mass) Gun club’s range and scooped up three tons of spent bul- lets. Club officials opine that 315 tons of lead -have been poured across the marsh, so Warren’s problem of an ed- ueation-is. solved. Here 18 a team of women trapshoot- ers that would make it interesting for any five male trapshots: Mrs. F. I. Butler (Annie Oakley), Mrs. Ad. Top- perwein, Mrs. D. J. Walton, Mrs. A. H. Winkler and Mrs. L. G. Vogel, and the team would be made 10 without lcsing any -strength with Mrs. Ada Schilling, .Mrs. Groat, Mrs. H. D. Hammond, Miss Lucile Muesel and Mrs. O. L. Garl, . Puts Foot In It. Manager Clarence Rowland caused something of a storm in St. Louis when he was there with his White. Sox 'recently by expressing the opinion that George Sisler is not the best first baseman in the world. Row- land admitted that Sisiter is a wonder as a hitter, but talking about his oth- er accomplishments remarked that h could not use him on first base. “What, with Gandil all you've got!’ was the astonished answer and ques tion of a newspaper man. “Exactly,” said Rowland. “Gandi is more of a first baseman than Sislter If I had George Sisler I would have to use him in right field. He can't shift his feet like a first baseman should.” And then. seeing there was likely to be a riot, Rowland hastened to change the subject. Will Prepare. President Comiskey won't be caught short again in case his White Sox got into another world's series. He has announced that the gaps in the stands and bleachers at his Chicago park are to be filled, making a continuous line of stands around the fleld -~except where the score board is marked. and increasing the seating capacity to 45,000. The work will be done before the 1918 season opens and will give Commy the greatest seating. capacity in the major leagues. The 2,000 addi- tional hox seats built for the world's series will be permanent and are a part of the plan to make Comiskey Park the biggest and handsomest in the world. Dismal Dope.

The Weegham treasury is wide open for Frederick to dip into the snaring of phenoms Nevertheless the road ahead of Mitch is not as smooth as glass.
