New NiCkeIS Are Here
 They're Classy, Too,
Harry Quinn's LaCOniC Upon Be- ing Appraised of Their
 Arrival

There were many dubious conduc- tors, bartenders, and clerks today when they were handed little discs of nickel upon which was the imprint of Chief Iron Tails profile as the decoration of one side and on the other a. likeness of big bull bison that is on exhibition down at the Bronx Zoo. Buffalo Bi1l,'' coming again asked one conductor who had to be convinced that the small medallion was really the coin of the realm and was one of the first batch to be re- ciVed in this city from the U. s. Mint. The first shipment came to the Con necticut National bank this morning The coin is perhaps the most artistic piece of low denomination currency ever turned out in the world outside of the Lincoln penny.
 The profile of the Indian chief stands out in bold relief and is the only thing shown on the obverse out side of the word Liberty and the date s'1a13''. NOn the face with the hump backed Buffalo are the words ''E pIuribus unum", United States or America" and Five CentS.' All ot the lettering is in very small letters, but the face of the coin is con caved that the letters will not be worn off readily.
 The new coin will work to the detr1- ment of the nickel in the slot ma chimes and it is said to clog up the machines. The slot machines conpa- nies failed in an effort to restrain the treasury department from putting the new nickels into circulation.
 When Harry Quinn was handed one of the new coins this morning he sig ed up the buffalo on the nickel and do1ng-throwing the bull this morn ing2''

Extra Sporting Page
IN MAJOR LEAGUES

The first week in March will find all of the big league teams in their Southern training camps and the pre- iiT1inary work to another year, of baseball will be in full swing. The Brooklyn team is scheduled to report to Manager Bill Dahlen about the time that the Yankees will line up be- fore their new leader. Most of the other clubs have already started for the South.
 Haskell Institute at Lawrence. Kan, lays claim to another James Thorpe who is g. ball player. This Indian, who is a half-brother of the new &C., Quisftion of the Giants, is not an all around athlete. But he is said to be a very good ball player. He is only IS years old and expects to be the first basenran on the varsity team this sea son.
 Manager Griffith. with his eye set on a pennant this season, is going to leave no weak spots in the makeup of the Senators if he can help it. He is who can flash a brand of brfl11ancy shown by Pratt, the find of the St. Louis Browns last year. Eo this end he has started Scout Ka.aoe out on a hunt of the minor leagues for a man who can fill the job. It fs quite prob 8Dl6 LIGaC VIII DS 04SS1RPO40ASo III finding a man who can jump in and take the stride set by Pratt at the very beginning However, the Old Fox will be pretty well satisfied if he gets a man who can be developed for next year.
 It is a noticeable fact that tt1as sea son nearly all of the big league teams have old time catchers with them acting in the capacity of coaches for the young pitcher4 McGraw set the fashion when he sought the assist ance of Wilbur Robins on, who brought out Marquard and Tesreau. Now De trott has Sugden and Jim McGuire- The Red Sox have Charlie FarrolI, the Browns have Lou Crtger. the CarH- nals Heinie Peitz, and Jack Ryan h2ls a similar position with the Washing ton team.
 When Manager Callahan counted noses on the White Sox at the open ing o6 training work at Paso Faob1es, Cal, four faces were not present and the Sox leader was considerably sur prised. He could net locate Fournier, Easterly, Kuhn or Russell, all of by that time. He expects them to turn up within a short time.
 The Comiskey team is being favored by fine weather, and Callahan got his men out as soon as they had limbered their legs after the long ride on the Comisluey special which carried them into the West Morris Bath, the teams second haseman, had an accident the first day of training, which was for tunately not serious. He dived into the swimming pool, which had only two feet Of water in 1t, and injured himself as he struck the bottom
 
 Roger Bresnahan, who got heavy dickering with the St. Louis Cardi- nals for the money he claimed on his contract is now \ busy taking off weight at Tampa, where he is train ing with the Chicago Cubs Roger finds that it is not easy to get off the avordupois as formerly, and he will probably have a harder time than any of the other members of the team to get into the proper condition.
