A $1500 pitched won the 1917 world’s championship, added $115,000 to the coffers of the Chicago White Sox club and made Charles A Comiskey owner of the team in linefto pick up many more thousands during the coming season. o v Urban Faber, known in polite base- ball circles as “Red,” is the hurler whom Comiskey purchased for a pit- tance. In 1913 Faber was pitching for the Des Moines team in the Western league and was making opposition batsmen look likg revolving storm doors. While the Des Moines hurler, assisted by Clint Rogge, was pitching Des Moines into second place ¥rank Isbell and Tom Fairweather, owners, were trying to peddle him. Isbell knew Faber was a major league pitcher, and besides he needed the money. A major league pitcher wouldn’t ‘o~ him any good and the money would.- The time for the draft @rew near anf it Was a certainty that some major league club or some Class A A club would draft Faber. In those days the draft price was only $1 The day before the draft o bell boarded a train, Chicag gained an audience with Ch: omiskey, and presented hi he same time giving his ca fon of all baseball scouts. “Commy” wasn't in a generous n that afternoon, ‘but he was ch He offered Isbell offered Isbell $1,500 for Faber.

Clark Griffith, the Wash- Ington manager, fired the scout be- cause he had followed Faber in the Western league for nearly three weeks d. had then labeled him with the G” sign. , - Stumpf With Pirates. For many weeks Barney Dreyfuss had been promising Pittsburg fans a new shortstop who would prove a sen- shtion. Recently we learned that the sensation is an old friend of New York fans, for he is none other than Bill Stumpf. who played on and off, mostly off, with the Yankees during the re- gimes of Harry Wolverton and Frank Chance. Stumpf has been purchased from Portland. now demoted to the Northwestern League. Stumpf was brought to the Yankees by Arthur Irwih, who always persisted that Bill had the greatest arm in the game and berated Wolverton for keep- ing him out of the lineup. When- ever Bill did get a chance to show the strength of that arm he always threat- ened the school house over on the far slde of Old American’ League park. Hugo Bezdek had lots of opportymity to see Stumpf in action and no doubt recommended his acquisition by the Pirates. Del Paddock, once a ‘member of the Yankees, is one of the large number of minor league players who have an- swered the call to battle for the cause of democracy.

Frang Moran left for Camp Wads- worth today where he “will begin training for Fred Fulton in connection with his army boxing icting. Moran has managed to rid nimself of the heavy cold that had settled in his chest at Camp Wadsworth. When the arrived in New York a few days ago he could hardly speak above a } whisper. Moran is anxious to get down | to the grind that must come in prepa- ration for Fulton. Speaking of condition must remind Moran that Fulton has a decided ad- vantage at present, as he has been fighting often for a heavyweight, far more often than Moran has. Frank has hinted that he would like to have |a couple of one-horse-shay encounters before meeting Fuiton, but if it isn’t possible he will not fear the oatcome. Moran saw Fuiton box and is sure he can bring him down. “T'll walk in- to him, take all he's got, and as soon as he-realizes he can't floor me he’ll tering trade” said Moran the other day in speaking of his chanrces. Moran’s notion may be all right, but he .will have to be in condition for Fulton. Fred hits hard and hits often. Moran is not a Miske in speed, and simply because Billy skimmed through without being flattened, it is not cer- tain that Moran will be as lucky. He says he is going to walk and take all that Fred has. He may do all that, but he must be in condition He knows that, and for that reason he and Bart- ley Madden, his old sparring partner, will. be South Carolina-bound today. PRATT AND LAVAN SUING BALL FOR SLANDER Refuse to Withdraw Suits. St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 23. nny La- van, former shortstop of the St. Louis Americans and now of the Washington club, said today that he would not sign with Washington untii his suit against Phil Ball, president of the St Louis club, had been settled.

The final reversal came on the heels of Secretary McAdoo’s statement be- fore. a congressional - committee in which he again urged prompt action on pending railroad legislation, with dirgct reference to its hearing upon further government Joans to be float- ed by the end of the fiscal year. Other Washington developments which served to unsettle the market included the extension of the freight embargo and maintenance of the ex- isting price schedule on copper metal by the war board. Specialties again comprised a very large part of the day’'s limited deal- ings, pools continuing their activity in speculative issues, while many other standard stocks were ig- nored or moved within narrow bounds. Industrial conditions, especially the production of finished iron and steel, were further aggravated by the freight blockade, according to trade authori- ties. U. S. Steel was again the most active issue of the day, losing a point on persistent pressure. Sales amount- ed to 400,000 shares. Money on time was unchanged, but call loans continued to relax on the redepositing of government funds with local institutions. Foreign exchange was unaltered on extremely light trad- ing.

Swift, superintend- ent of schools, was attended by all teachers of the town of Griswold. The foliowing topics were taken up and discussed. School Libraries—Mrs. Johnson and Miss Scott werc appointed méembers a committee to organize and cata- logue all reference books in the River- side school and o propose any steps which thy may think advisable in con- nection with the library. Music—A . committee consisting of Miss Hodgkinson and < Miss Alice Brown will organize -a school liberty chorus of from fifty to a Hundred voices. Only those pupils well quali- fied will be permitted to enroll. This chorus will be ready .to take part in any patriotic meetings held in connec- tion with the school or town in a short time. It will include pupils who qual- ify from all schools of the town. ‘War Programme—It would seem that in these davs when the greatest of all wars is taking place, we might well set apart a proportion of our school time for the purpose of emphasizing the war in its relation to industries ory, Civics and patriotism. In the upper grades one-half day a weex will be taken for this purpose and a spe- | programme arranged in something | :c the following order. Ncne of the! fundamentals of present culriculum will be dropped. 1. Tlag salute. Use of flag and pa- triotie songs.
