coLLEGIANs TOO MECHANICAL. Hugh Jennings Prefers Graduates of
 the Sand Lots.

Notwithstanding the success Connie Mack has had with collegians, and in spite of the brilliant performances of Hal Chase, Christy MatheWson and a few others who were college stars, Manager Hugh Jennings is opposed to searching the different schools for baseball players There are hundreds of college teams, and thousands of college players, yet the graduates who have made good in the major leagues can be counted on the fingers of both hands, declared the peppery Detroit manager a few days before the close of the 1911 season.
 ''The college players-I am speaking generally-haven't initiative. Particu- larly is this true of the inielders. When they get the ball they have a set play in mind, and they go through with it in 8 mechanical manner. It doesn't matter what situation has de- veloped, 1t Is the one thought -out-be- forehand play that goes through. There are only a few men, like Eddie Col lins, Jack Coombs, Hal Chase or Chief Bender. Mack has had his success with collegians, and that has been a mat ter of individual good fortune. I might say, also that Mack has & monopoly of college players who have proved their worth, A ball player who has been brought up on the sand lots plays baseball He is forced into situations and he copes with them. I want play CTS who, with the field before them can pick out the important plays. ] would rather a player would go after the right play for that situation and miss it. than go by the book and come through with a play that wasn't as good for that place.

OLYMPIC PROGRAMME.
Swedish Committee Makes Early An. nouncement of the Order of Events.

The Swedish Olympic committee has just announced the order in which competitions will come off in the games at Stockholm next summer, so that athletes from here and elsewhere will know the day exactly to be ready for action. The official starting of the games will take place on Saturday, June 2g, with such events as football, lawn tennis and shooting, but the con- tests in the Stadium will not get under way till the following Saturday, which will be July 6. For some time past there has been some discussion as to whether any of the contests should be held on Sunday, but if one is to go by the arrangement of the heaviest day of the whole festival has been scheduled for Sunday, July [, and on Sunday, July If, an equally heavy batch will be up for discussion.
 Evidently the Swedes are going to do things their own way irrespective of what the other countries in the world might think of competition on the Sab bath. In their policy the Swedes have precedent to go by, for when the games were at Paris in 1900 there were competitions on Sunday, the American athletes coming in for some severe criticism for participating in the al legged dissertation of the Lords day Although the Athenian festival in 1906 opened on Sunday, the real compett- tlons were left out, the athletics in the Stadium being confined to a parade of all the teams followed by exhibitions of jumping and turnbIing by men and
 women. At London in 1908 there were no contests so that the Swedes are safe as far as precedent goes either way. A glance at the arrangement conveys
 the idea that the Swedes have adopted
 much the same schedule as did the 1 Olympic council in 1908. That is they have put some of the long distance events at the foremost part of the list On the first Sunday, which will be the second day of the games, there will be 1 the trials of the 300 meters fiat and the 1,500 meters and the 10000 meters l Perhaps on more than one of the teams to visit Stockholm there will be men with ambition to take part in
 more than one event. There may be men who would compete in both the
 800 and 1, ,500 metres or the 1.6O0 and { 10000 meters if they were held on sep arate days, but the Swedish schedule will prevent any such indulgence. A wonder such as John Paul Jones of
 Cornell might successfully essay the
 800 and 1,500 the one day, but he is an
 exception.
 1 IL is certain that the majority of the
 athletes will not like the way the
 events are laid out, but against that there Is one thing no doubt everybody
 will like, and that is the timely an-
 nouncement of the schedule.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
PRICE CHANGES SLIGHT.
Opening Depression Followed by s
 Hesitating Advance.

New York. Jan. 15.-There is little to distinguish the record of today's trading in stocks from that of last week. with it's uncertain movements and undercurrent of heaviness. No new influences of importance were brought to bear upon the securities market, and traders showed an increasing predis- position toward the bear side. Prices were depressed in the early part of the day, but later the market advanced in
 hesitating way. Toward the close a brisk buying movement largely erased
 the losses. and the end of the day found price changes in most cases in- significant.
 As prices moved downward opera tions for the short account were en- couraged by reports of selling by im- portant financial interests. The move ment seemed to derive its chief im- petus, however, from short selling by the professional element. It was di- rected against the stocks which were conspicuously heavy last week, par ticularly the coppers, Harriman issues and St Paul. These issues and 8 few of the less active stocks were depress-
 ed a point or so, but the bears were unable to dislodge long stock and loss-
 es in most cases were smau.
 The coal stocks moved in eccentric fashion. After declining moderately i they became strong, and both Read 1 ing and Lehigh Valley at one time
 stood nearly two points above the pre- vious close. St Paul was the con- l spicuous feature of the late trading | For several weeks it hag been under pressure, owing to the expectation
 that the dividend would be reduced ] fo la | came strong and active late in the day ard closed with a small gain. Action on the dividend is to be taken soon by
 the board, and large short interest is | believed to have been built up in the | stock, which at it's present price ap- parently has discounted the effect of g ! change in the rate.
 An influence which helped to brinR about the improvement in tone was the evidence, as the day progressed, of a broader inquiry for investment securi- | ties. Trading in speculative bonds or | the stock exchange was lighter than or some days of last week, but private sales of investment issues increased l considerably. The report of an i'm | pending bond issue of $1h,00o, 600 b, l the Chicago and Northwestern, follow. | ing the announcement last week of

MACKMEN TO REPEAT.
Chance Says the Athletics Should
 Win Another Worlds Championship.

Frank Chance. the peerless leader of inc Chicago Cubs. is of the opinion that the worlds champion Athletics will be invircihle for at least another Seer. This statement, made by Chance recently in Los Angeles, is unique in that so far as known he is the only Eational league manager to volUntar- fly recognize the superiority of the American league leaders.
 The great strength of the Athletics sies in the fact that the Mack machine really has no glaringly weak points in its lineup" said Chance. First base is the only position that is open tC question, and I am not qualified to lass OF that, for the simple reason that did not have an opportunity to zee McInnes in action. If he is as good as claimed, the Athletic infield prac- tically is without a flaw
 ] Just to what extent McInnes would have increased the effectiveness of the ! Athletics during the series with the New York Giants is problematicdl, but Stuffy certainly made fine and dandy secord during the regular season. I Mack has a fine pitching staff, his outfield has shown it's ability to deliv- CT the goods, while the catching force las O6UkOuSlIdlSu QldL IL IS BOOI enough for all practical purposes. IT short, the Athletics are well rounded baseball machine, and I believe that they are in line for another worlds championship and possibly two. Returning to the Athletic pitching staff, I regard Bender as one of the best beavers which the game has pro : d1 ced. While CoombS won from u: every time he started in 1910. he was hit hard, and there is no discounting ! his ability.

The worthy people of the historic town of Newark, Nottingham, Eng. land, have lately been much exercised In their minds regarding the selection of motto to go with the borough arms. Ultimately it was decided that the motto of the town should be the historic remark made by Major Smith ln 1646, Trust God and Sally"
 It was in that year when Newark was surrendered to the Scottish army after sustaining three sieges during the civil war, and the remark was made 10 Lord Bellayse when the for. tunes of King Charles I were at tho lowest ebb. The word sally" of course, as used in Newark's motto. means to rush forth, leap out, or issue suddenly.
