Pitcher schneider, OF this city

from the game last season to accept
a position at electrical engineering in
Allentown, wants to get back in the
game again and 1t is said that he

Dank is small but he has more speed
than some of the giant players in
the State league He first attracted
attention to base bail managers in
1909, while pitching for Lafayette
College. Wilkes-Barre gave him a
tryout that year, but Kittredge let
him out and he won a large majority
of games for Reading, where he fin
ished the season. SO good was his
work at Reading that he was drafted
by Oakland of the Pacific Coast
League and did fine work for them
but cuold not win and was shipped
to Buffalo, where it was hoped his
luck would change. From there he
went to Syracuse. He Is at present
in Allentown and Manager Burschell
will try and make a deal for some
other pitcher, using him In trade IL
he insists in refusing to report to
the Salt city team.

NO FREE PASSAGE
IN PANAMA CANAL
American Ships Not Exempt,
Says Congressman Stevens

The first authentic statement as to
the attitude of the house committee
on commerce with respect to the
legislation that must be enacted this
session affecting Panama canal tolls
and the operation of the canal was
made by Representative Stevens OF
Minnesota, a Republican member of
the committee. Public hearings be-
fore the committee have Just been
concluded. 1t appears that the COM
mittee Is against free passage of
American ships or any discrimination
against the ships of foreign nations.
The committee Is therefore, opposed
to the administration suggestion
that tolls on American ships be re-
bated.
The concensus of opinion is,"
says Mr.. Stevens, that the present
form of government for the canal
zone should be continued.
1T has been urged strongly" he
says, that free tolls will upbuild the
merchant marine of the United
States, afford supplies and vessels
for the military and naval depart
ments, cheaper freights, develop re-
sources and help the consumers all
over the country Opposed to this
view primarily must be the construc-
tion of treaties between the United
States and Great Britain and other
nations, in which it is expressly
agreed that the vessels of commerce
and war of all nations should re-
ceive terms of entire equality, with
out discrimination as to conditions or
charges for traffic"
Mr.. Stevens asserts that the canal,
wnen completed and fortified, will
have cost s400,000,O0O; that the cost
of operation, maintenance, regulation
and protection, including interest on
investment, will be about S2S,00O,-
600 a year, and that the mainten-
anCe of a sufficient military and ma
val defensive force may in the future
cost indirectly S40,O0O,OOO.

Larned and Wright No
Match for Australian
Lawn Tennis Stars.

Christchurch. N. H., sJan. 1.-America's $
challengers for the Davis international
lawn tennis cup were defeated in both of
the singles matches here to-day. william
A. Larned, the American champion and
captain of his team, made a sorry showing
against Tod Heath, the Australian, who
won by score of 2-s, 6-1, 7-5, 60. Nor
man z. Brookes who, with Anthony F.
Wilding, captured the cup for the Aus
tralasians had an even easier time Of It
with Beals c. Wright, as he defeated the
American at Ga, 2-e. 6-3. 6-3.
The two singles matches were the first Of
the series of five contests for the world
famous trophy. AS the doubles match.
which Is to hold the court to-morroy and
which will bring Brookes and A. w. Dun
lop, the defending pair, against Wright and
Maurice D. Mclaughlin. the latter the
Californian, has generally been conceded 20
the Australasians, there seems little likeli-
hood that the cup will return to America
this year.
There was no surprise expressed among
the Australian followers of the game at
the o1tcome of the two matches. The fact
that neither of them was closely scored
discounted any contention that the post
ponement from last Friday until to-day be-
cause Of the rain had had any effect upon
the Americans. Both Larned and Wright
yielded TO superiority Of skill. This result
came about too. before one Of the largest
galleries of spectators which has ever as
sembled here, and which included the Gov
ernor General. They were disappointed
that Larned failed completely to live up TO
his reputation, as the famous American ma
tional champion was at every stage out
played by Heath, rated as the third string
OF the defending team. Furthermore, 1t
was American weather, with brilliant sun
and cool breeze and the splendid turf play
ing surfaces We're fast and true
Before the matches were put on the fact
that Tod Heath had been selected for the
singles instead OF A. w. Dunlop caused
some comment. Dunlop is regarded as far
stronger than Heath, and there were some
who believed that Brookes. the captain OF
the defenders had made a mistake, especial
" as the draw. when made, brought Heath
against Larned. But Brookes wished to
save Dunlop for the doubles competition, as
the latter will be compelled to out-smash
Mclaughlin. and the wisdom of the Aus
I
first two singles had been finished.
The matches were played on adjoining
courts, and that in which Brookes defeated
Wright was the first TO end. From the
opening service Brookes was fast and ag-
gressive. His service which he played with
terrific speed, frequently drove Wright
wide Of the court. Then the Australasian
proved a marvel at getting the ball when
the American ex-champion attempted 10
bring of a passing shot. Wright's left
handed welding OF the racket old not
bother him in the least. Brookes was
usually successful in man9uvring for his
openings. and when he got up to the net he
upheld his reputation as a volleyer
In the second set Of the match the
American made his one bit OF brilliant
playing BY sheer force he drove Brookes
