CLIPPED FROM EXCHANGES. 8till in good health, and keen enough for a joke mbw and then, is Mrs. “Granny” Lambert, of Gloucester- road, Edmonton, who was 101 years old Jan. 10. She has outlived two of her daughters, who reached the ages of ;74 and 60, At her Cbristmas party .“Granny,” as, she is known lacally, entertained four generations of her family, thus making five generations at the party. The youngest was only ten months old, and it is this little baby who is “Granny’s” great Interest. Mrs. Lambért was.born on 3 frigate, and since she was 15 she has lived at Edmonton. . That district was very different then, and “Granny” used to do laundry work and dressmaking for the nobility and gentry who lived there. A pewspaper man, who called to of- fer birthday congratulations, took a proffered seat some distancé from her. ‘This provoked the old lady, who ask- ed him to come closer, adding: “You are not married, are you!” Be- ing reassured on this point, she said “Well, you can come as near as you like, and as my husband has been dead for n'enm 50 years, you may hold my “Granny” went on to eay that she did_not take much notice of air raids. She always went into a corner and re- mafned there— “in perfect com- posure,” so her daughter daclared. The ‘war does not appear to worry her.

New York, Feb. 1.—Another demon- stration of activity and strensth at- tendeq today’s initial dealings in stocks, but trading gradually flatten- ed out. Early advances of one to two points in railroads and industrials and iwo to five points in shippings and specialties were materially impaired later. The reversal of the last hour was accelerated by a renewal of short sell- ing, based in part on an unexpected rise in call money to 6 per cent, ac- comtmodations of that character hold- ing over next Monday’s holiday. War shares figured prominently in the advance of the forenoon, although peace” talk was again a foremost fac- tor. Rails derived some of their early eastern transportation conditions. Revival of public interest was sug- the first hour, the turnover of that period aggregating 40 per cent. of the total. Yesterday’'s sensational move- ments were lacking. - Urited States Steel monopolized speculative attention throughout, but forfeited its fractional advance, clos- ing at a net decline of 1 3-8 points. Other industrials, also rails and cop- pers, pursued much the same course but shippings retained part of their substantial gains with miscellaneous jssues. Sales amounted ' to 960,000 shares. French municipals were the hgavy features of the bond list. Liberty is- sues improved, 3 1-2's selling at 98.30 at to 98, first 4's at 96.68 to 96.60 and |\’ second 4's at 96.04 to 95.98 sales, par value, were 04,650.000. 0ld U, S. #s advanced 1-2 per cent. on call.

F - when' was ranked with the -leading basemen of his day and He has fallen away somew! past two years, but at 32 better than the average fielder and the most intelligent performers- in either major league. 5 In this respect he has absolutely | targe! nothing in common with either Cady or Walker, whose assets are all of a strictly mechanical nature. Walker, at his-best, is a hard and prolific hit- ter and a fast far-ranging outfielder. He has just about as strong a thro ing arm as ever threw a runner out at the plate—and a positive genius for throwing to the wrong base. Like wise, he is moody, with a penchant for breaking training on the slightest provocation. This ‘‘moodiness” was largely re- sponsible for his failure to repeat last season his' unquestioned triumphs of 1916. He early became addicted to the habit of ‘“celebrating” his hitting streaks, and in identically similar fashion seeking consolation for his pe- riodic hitless ~streaks. As a conse- quence he was almost a total loss throughout by far the greater part.of the 1817 campaign. gy It is universally conceded. however, that Walker is pecullarly susceptible to his surroundings, and it is.expected that under Mack he will develop a reversal of his cld and best form. Cady is another Nunamaker, only more so, and it is doubtful if Mack would be bothering with him if any- thing else had offered. He can whale 2 ball a mile on occasion, but such occasions’ were few and far between. The only really notable work he ever did for the Red Sox was during the world’s series of 1912, and he wasn’t a2 conspicuous figure in that justly celebrated debate. Luckily for Mack, Cadyv is not the only catcher on the Athletic roster. In the trade which sent Wallie Schang, Joe Bush and Amos Strunk to Boston, Mack acquired title to Roy Thomas, who will doubtless fisure as his first string backstop during the coming campaign. "Thomas is a bloomin’ Kelly himself. but should be a decided im- provement over anything the Athlet- ics have shown in the catching line since Schang blew himself to his one g00g year back in 1913. WILLIAMS HITS TOBAGGAN EARLY IN CAREER 4 sl Bamtamweight Champion Gets Beat- ing at Hands of Unknown Fighter. At the age of twenty-four the bril- liant ring career of Kid Williams seems ended. The Baltimore boy, formerly bantamweight. champion of the world, was knocked out the other night in Philadelphia by a New York boxer named Joe Lynch, who is prac- tically an unknown in four rounds. This was the first knockout ever re- corded against ‘Williams. Williams claimed the bantamweight championship in 1913 from Johnny Coulon.. Coulon disputed the claim, but" Willlams proved his right to the’ title by beating Johnny. From then on the Baltimore Dane ruled supreme in his class. ‘In fact, a few years ago he so outclassed the contenders that he went out and met Johnny Kilbane the featherweight king. In 1915 Williams lost on a foul to Johnny Ertle of St. Paul, Ertle how- ever never established a proper claim to the championship and when Pete Herman got a twenty-round decision over Willams at New Orleans last year he was generally acclaimed the bantam title holder and is so regard- ed today. Williams was born in Denmark, but came to Baltimore as a young voy and he has always had a hard time making the bantam weight limit but insisted on trying and this no doubt helped to break down his remarkable physique, DATES SELECTED FOR THE - GRAND AMERICAN HANDICAP Trapshooting Classic and the Great- est of All Sporting Events Will Take Place’in Chicago August 5 to 9, In- clusive, By Peter P. Carney Editor National Sports Syndicate. The Nineteenth Grand American Handicap Trapshooting Tournament— the blue' ribbon event of trapdom— and the greatest sporting event of the year—will take place over the traps of the So.®.h Shore Country Club, Chi- cago, Ill, beginning on August 5 and concluding on_ August 9. The Grand ~American Handicap Toyrnament for years has been con- ducted during the third or fourth week |in August and the advancement of the Cates to the first week in August will make it necessary for a great number of the state' associations to schedule their state championship tournaments earlier. S The 1918 trapshooting classic will be conducted along the same broad lines as previous tournaments, with a number of innovations which should make the coming event the greatest scatter-gun tournament ever staged. 100 Prizes for the Shooters. There will be more prizes for the shooters in this tournament than were ever before given. In the past there were 50 prizes no matter how many gunners went to the traps. This time there will be 50 prizes for 350 entrants; 80 prizes for 400 shooters; 90 prizes for 450 gunners, and 100 prizes for 500, or more, contestants. Eighty-five per cent. of the purse will be given to the first 50 in case of 400 entrants; &0 per cent. to the first 50 in case of 430 entrants and 75 per cent, of the burse to the first 50 high guns in case of 500 or more entrants. For the past four vears there have Leen more than 500 participants: in the Grang American, in fact, the fig- ures have run over 800 in the last two tournaments held in Chicago. There is every reason to belieye that there will be just as many contestants in the tournament this year as last, for the war has greatly stimulated inter- est in trapshooting. Many clubs have thrown their traps open to the young men of draft age and veterans are giv- ing instruction at many of these clubs so that the future defenders of the nation-will be able to shoot—and best of all, shoot straight. 8 Trapshooting is the only sport that d Cady Are Slated for the Ath:| 1 a | shooters.the total D] the guaranteed: prize for last year, the Winner of which drew down nearly $500, With the entrance fees of the amount of the purses will amount to more than $15,000. The ecents on. the .programme will ing with at 18 ational be the same as last the South Shire In&ro«ig oiv . re on Handicap on " American Handi- 8th, énd .the Consolation Handicap on the 9th. The usual yard- age and women's .trophies will be awarded in the Grand American. The division of prizes will be the same in the Preliminary and Consolation Han- dicaps as in the Grand American. There is a new ruling on the Conso- lation Handicap as follows: “Any entrant who participates in a division of the purse in the Prelimi- rary or Grand American Handicaps will not be eligible for the Consola- tion Handicap.” There will be né joker traps at this Year’s Grand American, nor will there be any special events for professional shooters.. professiontls will shoot lown the line with' the amateurs in the 18 yards event on the opening day, end the professional with the highest score will be regarded as the Profes- sional champion of the year. There will be the usual special event for fair nas. "Contestants Will Be Numbered. FEach contestant in theé Grand Amer- lean will wear a number on his sleevé. The number will be of cloth and will be sent to the shooter in advance. A cuplicate number: will be retained by the committee. Programmes will be distributed showing the name and the number of each contestant so that it Wwill be an easy matter for the spec- tators ‘te: keep track of the different shooters.zio- ¢ The Interstate Association has ask- ed the Columbus, Ga.,-Board of Trade to allow the Columbus trophy to be shot for in the Grand American Han- dicap. This trophy for vears, has been shot for in the Southern Handicap. The Southern Handicap has been dis- continued, but the Interstate Associa- tion does ndt want the trophy to go out of commission.

The disease is said to have been brought to the stables by young- sters purchased at the November sale in New York. How much they think of the light harness game out on the Pacific coast is indicated by the recent action of the Oregon State Fair board in de- ciding to build a coliseum to-seat 5,000 spectators. It is expected that over $22,000 will be. expended. The one Murphy raced with success last year was the pacer Butt Male,| which not only closed, the season among leading money winners, but driven by an amateur gained a mark of 2.02 1- 4. Being a product of Pennsylvania, naturally he attracted extra attention at the Belmont Park meeting, and in the presence of several horsemen who had long ago declared him as a hepe- less failure for racing. 5 Westfield isn’t out of the Short Ship proposition by any means, according to well-informed authorities. The re- port that- new company is being formed here: to take over the Whip City plant-and place it in the circuit is no idle gossip, and it is known that at the ‘Short Ship banquet to be held in Boston.on Teb. 18 representatives of the new company. will be there not only to ask for the readmission of Westfield but also for the purpose of rutting the Willimansett track on the Bay State circuit. Butt Hale's win was decisive in Philadelphia,- while at Hartford the| weel“foilowing he not only trimmed Ben All and The Savoy but beat Rus-| sell Boy a heat in 2.02 '3-4. At Syra cuse. he was saved for the amateur record and made good, while at Columbus he negotiated three heats in a shade faster than 2.05 1-2 and made | things interesting for Little Frank D.: at Lexington, proving that he not only was a come-back, but,if in proper form a high class' race horse. As an attraction to harness rac- ing directly, events for fast trot- ters appear to draw the attention that the past 'season was unusually of tractmen' because of the fact resplendent in the number of fasti performers, a great majority of which | can fairly be expected to be in the live list of 1918~ A 2.06 class trot is talked about from the opening of the season at North Randall and it now seems possible to make it even a 2. and’ secure enough entries to malke the events interesting. ’ Anent the Kentucky = Futurity, a reader wants to know, as a settlement of an argument, if the value of the stake’s 3-year-old trotting division is uniformily $16,000 as given in the Lexington stake entry book, the same being listed for every year since 1909? As far as we know, the stake for that division totals up to $14,000, the amount .won by the four horses and the premiums to the nominators of their dams, the division being $8.300; $3,100, $1,325 and $775, respectively, to the first four. ,Why the stake book lists the value at £16,000, as the reader says, and so it is, we do not know, un- less it be due to a typographical er- ror. The Empire State is now the home of trainer John Hogan, who is already located at the Avon half mile track, near Rochester, in charge of a_public training stable. Hogan gained wide reputation as being the. man who brought out Mabel Trask and later the Pittsburgh owned Mignola. which John R. McCue, the owner, drove a mile in 2.03 1-4, while his fourteen-year-old daughter set a world’s record over the Brunots Island track.

Happy Felsch is a good bowler as well as a ball player. In a recent match Felsch defeated a prominent Chicago pinman and average about 200 pins per game. Pitcher Bernie Boland of the Tigers is the first Jennings' player to sign for the 1918 season. Boland is one pitcher who makes a specialty of trimming the Yankees. Lee King, the sensational youngster who played the outfield for the Pir- ates last season, may. be lost to the club this year. King has been placed in Class 1 ‘A of the draft. Orville = Overall, one of - Frank Chance's pitchers in the days when the Cubs were the greatest team in baseball, is now a candidate for sher- iff of Tulare county, California. George Gibson of the Giants is one of the real. veterans ‘of the game. When he signed- recently with the Giants he placed his signature on hi fourteenth major league contract. Infielder E4d Murray is.the lafest ma- Jor league to get into the bigger game of war. Murray formerly of Trinity college, joined the Browns last sum- mer.

All' havé been rlaced on the “voluntary retired list” and title to their services will be held by the'club. o Bill James, one of the star pitchers of the Braves during their champion- ship spurt in 1914, has received a con- tract. He has notified Manager Stall- ings that his arm is all right and he is confident that he can put over a suc- cessful “comeback.” Frank Baker got five hits in one game last season and three other games produced five hits for the Trap- pe mauler. Pipp and Miller each made four hits on two occasions. No other Yankee player came through Wwith more thar three hits in one game. Three clubs of the 16 in the two major leagues stole more bases in 1917 than in .1916. Chicago and Cleveland were the American leaguers to show improvement, while the Bos- ton Braves were alone in the National league, ¢ = No one ever has questioned the field- ing ability of Walter Gerber, the new shortstop of the Browns, and Bobby Quinn is satisfied that he will be able to hit major league pitching. He bat- ted .308 in 14 games after joining the Browns last season. If the intercollegiate rowing regat- ta is held on the Hudson this year there will be but three contestants — Columbia, Cornell and.

Al Wickland, secured by the Braves from Indianapolis, will go to Boston with no reputation as a wielder of the clab, but he enjoys a wonderful field- ing record. During the entire season of 1917 the American Association re- cruit made only two fielding troubles while playing in 124 games giving him rghge magnificent defensive,. credit of 991, Both of Wickland's misplays came in June—one on the 4th in his sixth same and one on the 18th, in his sev- enth game. /Al accepted eighty-six chances before an error was marked up against him and to,| then cared for|This is his 17 { night a Ladies” Who Wish a Toilet Cream that will keep their complexion in most perfect condition are invited tc try the kind we are offering. today which contains enough peroxide in if to make it the Ideal Cream.

Ac- cording to the present plan, each hold- er of a season book or a single pass must hand over 10 cents to the gate- tender, who will deposit the same in a box with the free coupon. The gov- ernment will collect 8 cents and the home club will pocket 2 cents. Ten- cent baseball therefore will become a real thing. At various. times more than 2,000 headheads have been re- corded on the free gate at the Polo grounds, so that Uncle Sam, if the av- erage is maintained, will not be the loser. Figuring an average of 500 dead- heads at each of the 154 scheduled games at the Polo grounds this year, the government’s rakeoff will be about $6,100, while $1,500 will be retained by the home clubs. RINGSIDE GOSSIP. Jack Williams, manager of Finney Boyle, was so pleased with the fine showing made by his boxer against Shaver O’Brien in one of the bouts on Monday night that nothing wWi satisfy him but. a crack at Frankie Britt. “Britt looks soft pickings for Boyle,” he said, “so soft that I am ready to talk iron men with Batt's manager.” “The manager of Mike O'Dowd, the middleweight champion, received a telegram yesterday from Mike stating that his match with Harry Greb of Pittsb¥rgh had beer finally completed and that they would clash in a 10- round bout at the Capitol City A. C. og St. Paul on Feb. 25. The bout had been postponed three times. Both men have posted forfeits of $260 to bind the contest. ‘Tom Gibbons of St. Paul, brother of Mike Gibbons, has at last decided to do some fighting after a layoff of near- ly five months. He was matched yes- terday to meet. George Chip, the mid- dleweight of Newcastle, Pa., for 10 rounds before the Keystone club of Pittsburgh on the night of Feb. 4. This w3l be their second meeting, they having boxed a 10-round no-decision bout at St. Paul on Aug. 22, 1917, Irish Patsy Cline, who has been booked up to meet Johnny Dundee in a 20-round bout at the Douisiana au- ditorium of New Orleans on Feb. 11, will get a good workout for that im- portant bout, as his manager yesterday signed him up to meet Tommy Carey, the Philadelphia fighter, for six rounds at the Natiomal A. C. of Philly on Sat- urday night. Carey recently knocked out Young McGovern in the latter city. The Douglas A. C. of Chelsea, Masy, made a good start the other night, put on several, contests and the mem- bers turned out in a crowd, came, saw and were pleased.
