M looks as though Joe Lynch, the | New York bantam who recently knock- !ed out Kid Williams, is going to have ‘e hard time cornering Pete Herman for a _championship match. Promoter ‘ortorich of New Orleans, put in.a Miberal big for the match, but Her- man refused to considér it at all. In order to avoid being called for mili- tary service Herman put in the’ plea that his eyesight was very weak, but this availed him little and he has been placed in Class 1, Division 1. He-of- fered the same reason as an excuse for_not meeting Lynch. However, he appears to have recovered rapidly, as he written to.promoters in' Balti- more and other eastern cities for bouts. Herman insists upon picking his own nppo;:lnu, two of his selections being Joe Tuber and Johnny Rosner. These men are both flyweights and not with- in several poiinds of Herman’s weight, :n” the promoters did not accept his er., . «If Herman were anxious to defend Lis title in a real fight there are sev- ~eral midgets who are capable of ex- tending him. Besides Lynch there are Johnny Brtle and Kid Wolfe, the youngster who twice outpointed Ertle in ‘recent bouts. Then there is Pal Moore, the Memphis bantam. Another Star in Texas. . Pown in the Texas league they art boosting Storey, an outfielder of the club, as a second Tris Speaker, and baseball sharps who follow the do- ings of the Lone Star:league: predict that the youngster will be in fast com- pany before -another winter . roHs around. Storey, it is said, is sure death on fiv ‘balls anywhere in his territory and hits a ball better than any player the Texas fans have seen since the days when Speaker left that circuit to become a major league star. The piayer probably will be given the care- ful attention of big league scouts dur- ing the course of the coming season. Dodgers Not to Pay. Considerable - embarrassment has been caused the Brooklyn club by. the announcements that the Robins’ man- agement would allow half pay to any of the players who entered the army or mavy. This, according to President ‘Ebbets is wrong. Seven of the Brook- Iyn players are in the service now, and their salaries would aggregate about $20,000. to son of 1917 and the rather gloomy out- look for 1918. e Ridgemark. 207 1-4, raced ihis year. wil 1 not Bowling.- THE AETNA- Biliards | 7 ALLEYS Phone Conn. 6 TABLES Majestic Building, Shetucket 8t.

Loved the Game While Wil- lard Is After the Coin. It would be hard to find two fighting men-more, different than John' L. Sul- livan and Jess Willard, the man who now holds the title. Willard has not one of the attributes that made Sulli- van the idol of the sporting public. Sullivan was the ideal champion both in and -out of the ring. When he was not fighting, his personality was such ‘that he was ever in the public eye. In action his every move was that of a man -absolutely sure of himself. Willard js “the Jeast colorful of all the champions and outside of a few personal friends he has no followers, whereas when Sullivan was champion there was hardly'a person in the Unit- ed Stateg who did not take an active interest in his doings. Sullivan loved to fight anq was not particular how much he was paid for it. Willard can- not be dragged into the ring. although the promoters are offering him a for- tune to box ten no-decision rounds. If Willard had appeared on the scene when Sullivan was in his prime there is little doubt that Sallivan would have polished him off without any trouble | whatever. . As a matter of fact, Wil- lard never would have tried to be a fighter under the conditions that ob- tained when Sullivan flourished. As a ringster Willard is entirely out of his element and he ‘detests the sport as thoroughly as the most rabid anti- | hoxing reformer. When Sullivan was at his best he would have been entirely too fast and jasgressive for the big Kansan. Wil- larg would have been an easy mark for Sullivan’s terrific right hand wal- lop, and as tough-as Willard is he could not have taken many of those blows without going down. The: only style of fighter that caused trouble for Sullivan was a fast littl> man who could use his feet to good advantage. KONETCHY SHYS AT SIGNING BOSTON CONJRACT Big Ed Objeéts Strongly to tne Salary’ Cut. It is reported up around Boston way that George Stallings. is having tro ble in signing Ed Konet¢hy. to a con- tract with the Braves for 1918. Konet- strenuously to a cut in salary. and vows that he will retire undess he gets more motey than the document offered him calls for. The loss of Konetchy would ruin whatever little chance the Braves might have to make a showing next summer. Big Ed has not set the worl afire since he joined the Braves, but he is a capable first sacker. And such ! Lids -are scarce in these times It has been suggested if Konete sticks to his determination to retire | that Stallings will bring Butch | Schmidt hack te the game and first base. The prospect of Schmidt's re- turn may warm the hearts of Boston | fang, in these winter months, but if not apt to prove so pleasing and sat- isfactory ‘as they may believe. Schmidt was always a big, clumsy lad. “He played first base fairly well for the Champion Braves of 1914, and his hitting was a big factor 'in the pennant drive of the Braves that year. | Butch got heavier and slower during 1915, however, and this may have had something to do with his retirement. It is two vears since Schmidt has played ball' He has been engaged in running his butcher shop in Baltimore. This is hardly an occupation tended to_ make a man lean and fast.

The president, Secretary Baker, and | n. fact, all of official Washington, were p late waiting for further news, Only the briefest despatches were received | and none- gave details. of the attack on the liner. Even the time was miss- ing, but it was assumed that it oc- curred early this morning as the first message was filed at London at' 3 o’- clock this afterncon, probably within an hour after the refief ships reached the Trish coast. = v The president’ was at the theatre when' the news :ivas received and .he Wwas not told until he returned to. the ‘White House, t war, navy and state departments had sent yrgent messages by wireless and cable instructing their representatives in England and Ireland to forward ev- ery avaflable fact immediately. « Because -o e-qature. of the mili- tary organizations carried by. the.ship, the war department announced that. it would be impossible. to say definitely what troops were aboard until the list of Survivors was received. Later, how- |ever, the adjutant general's office made the list public. . It foltows: . ’ Detachments Aboard. The war department announced that its records show the following were on board the Tuscania: Headquarters Detachment and Com- panies D, E and F of the Twentieth Engineers, *” 107th Sugp]y Train. -+~ Number 100 ‘Aero Squadron. 158th Aero Squadron. 213th Aero- Squadron, Replacement ' Detachments Numbers and 2 of the 32nd Division. Fifty-one casual officers. The Thirty-Secord Divisien is com- posed of national guard troops from Michigan and Wisconsin. The divi jon trained at Camp- MeArthur, Texas. Thus, all the socldiers are former Wisconsin .and Michigan guardsmen except those in the aero squadron, who probably were recruited from all parts of the country. Neither the despatch to the war department nor that ta the state department referred to the fate of the members of the Tuscania’s crew. TUndeubtedly many of them were saved and when all reports are in officials hope. that. the loss of life will be re- markably small. The’ liner; which is rot a regular transport, was under convoy and the warships apparently were quickly alongside for rescue work when the torpedo :struck. . The first news was given here in this terse an- nouncement from the war de ent: Official Announcement. “The war department has been offi- clally advised that the steamship Tus cania was torpedoed and sunk and that survivors numbering 4,100, as far as_could“be ascertained, were landed at Buncranna and Larne in Ireland.

The pan- eling of her main lounge room was in olive wood, inlaid with line sycamore. The floors were of polished oak. A veranda, cafe and gymnasium, smoking rooms;, dining saloons and a novel system of heating and ventila- tion were features of the new liner. The first and. second. class staterooms were situated on. the bridge deck and shelter deck amidships and were large in_ size’'and" well furnished. It is probable, however, in view of the exigencies of the situation, ‘that the steamer had been stripped of most of her luxurious fittings in order to take as great a number of troops as possible on each voyage. 3 Buncranna, at which survivors from the Tuscania were landed, is located on Lough Swilly on the northern coast of Ireland, twelve miles from London- derry. Lough Swilly i a long, narrow bay running into the Atlantic ocean. Larne, ai which other survivers ‘Wene landed from the vessel, is on the nostheast coast. of Irelana, 23 miles from Belfast. It is a North Channel port. - ‘The approximate distance by ‘water between the two ports is one hundred miles. FOOD HOARDED BY SPECULATORS IN PETROGRAD Authorities Found 100000 Pounds of Butter Among the Lot. % New York, Feb..6.—The search for food conducted by the Bolshevik au- thorities in Petrograd disclosed nearly 100,000 pounds of butter which had been hoarded by speculators. The au- thorities also found 150 carloads of matches, 150,000 gallons of kerosene and large quantities of meat, potatoes, peas, fats: and-sodp. One speculator had 8,000 pairs of children’s shoes. The prices of foodstuffs in Petro- grad have fallen temporarily but ow- ing to the failure of tranmsportation higher . prices are expected. M. Nevski,-the new minister of com- munications, addressing the food. con- gress, gave a black picture of. the sit- uation and threatened to resign uniess trains were: given machine guns and armed guards to protect them against soldiers who, he declared, were run- ning unrestrained, aftacking, robbing and killing. The minister sadi pas- senger traffic must be eliminated in- definitely. ’ The situation is all the more serious because the peasants refuse to ex- change food for the depreciated mon- ey. Consequently, manufactured ar- ticles must- be supplied to obtain food. The manufacturers are runnimg short of wood and soon will be without coal because they are unable to haul i Madame Smsth-Faulkner, a member | of the food control board, told the As- sociated Press today that the bread situation in Petrograd was improving {and that the allowances would be in- icreased. .In the first part of January, i{&he said, the food board received oniy six carloads of grain daily while re- tquiring ' sixteen carload: The board ; was now getting ffom sixteen to twen- survivors was reported.

The state department’ issued this statement: » “The latest advices received by the state department from the embassy at London regarding the Tuscania is that at 11 p. m. ¥ formation was that 1 officers and men on tne Tuscania were accounted for, out of 2,173. The ambassador has sent an as- sistant military attache and anofher army officer to Belfast, Ireland. Rep- resentatives of the American Red Cross and the Y. M: C.

Since then, however, there has been no report of an attack on a ship carrying Ameri- can troops to Europe.

Her sink- ing definitely - discloses ‘that British ships are being .used to.carry Ameri- can troops abroad, supplementing American transport tonnage. This fact has beepn intimated before and probably arises from the decision of the supreme war council to make ev- ery effort to augment General Per- shing’s army during the present year. Naby officials have insisted that de- spite the most careful plans and ef- forts to safeguard transports, there was always a chance that a troop ship would stumble u;x‘n_s lurking sub- marine and' the géneral belief tonight was-that this is what had happened in this case. » The same regujations as to life sav- ing apparatus govern the movement of American troops on.a British ves- sel as would govern their passage on an ‘American craft. These regulations, which are rigidly enforced, provide‘for sufficient. life boats and life raft ca- pacity for every man- aboard the ship, even if one-half or the boats are ren- dered useless through the listing of the 'ship when it is struck. The Tuscania was & British passen- ger and: freight steamship of .14,348 tens. gross register. She was built at Glasgow in 1914 and was owned by the Anchor Line.

Petrograd, Feb. 6.—“The economic condition. of Russia is grave, very grave,”. M. Shliapnikoff, the commis- sioner of labor, declared to The Asso- ciated Press correspondent today. “We .are now. going through . the transition period from war to peace,” continued the commissioner. “This is a' most difficult period in - better or- ganized countries and is particularly difficult in Russia. The difficulty is aggravated by the fact that neither the emperor’s nor Kerensky's govern- ment regulated' the industries. ‘“There was unevenness of produc- tion even in the branch of industry making munitions of war, there being too much produced of some articles and too- little "of ‘others. ~ The first measure we are taking is_to cut down the manufacture of other than neces- sary things and to produce useful ar- ticles;, those we need most, such as locomotives, cars and automobiles.
