GRAND OPERA GREAT PAGER.
Canadian Stallion May Prove Sensa
 ton the Coming Season.

Canadian pacerS promise to be nearly prominent in the grand cir past season when they swept every thing before them in all but the fast CT. classes. Of course. another Joe Patchen II can hardly be looked for, as that kind do not appear every year. but that there will be lots of class among the sidewheelers from across the border now appears likely, if one may judge by the early performances of the nags which are slated to make the big ring trip the coming season.
 The Canadian pacer who will be watched with the greatest interest the coming season is Grand Opera, young. stallion raced in the stakes the past season by w. L. Snow The fates picked out rather bad season for the horse with the musical name for he was up against the phenomenal Joe Patchen II in all of his starts. It was too much to ask of a green, young horse to tackle such formidable game as the Big Train, but he was getting piece of the money in practically every start, the battles with that other Canadian stallion, Knight Onwardo, for second money, being one of the feat ures of the 1912 campaign. The lat ter had a slight edge on Grand Opera, his greater racing experience standing him in good stead.
 The New Hampshire trainer Walter Cox was a great admirer of Grand Opera and on more than one occasion attempted to buy him. Since the close of the campaign he has changed hands and will probably be raced the com ing season by Al Proctor, well known among the Canadian trainers a few years ago when he raced such pacers as Harold H (2O3 3-4), the greatest rival of the racing king Dan Patch, when the latter was making his first bid for championship honors; Darkey (2.10 1-4) and others. When Can adian pacer is spoken of 1t is generally taken for granted that he wears hob bles yet two of the greatest side whee1ers which ever came across the border-Angus Pointer (2.01 3-4) and Joe Patchen (2.03 1-4) were of the free legged variety, and the same is true of Grand Opera. A years school ing on the major circuit did the lat ter a lot of good and he is liable to be a star in the stakes the coming season, to all of which he is eligible as he did not win a heat all season
 A forInidab bIe candidate against Grand Opera in the pacing stakes will be the Canadian gelding, Frank Bo- gagh, Jr, (2.12 14). This pacer- re- gently passed into the hands of Tom Murphy, who will race him the com ing season so he may not be classed as simon-pure Canadian, but up to the present time he has been owned in Canada and raced on the Canadian and New England tracks by Yer mont driver and was undefeated last season oEer the two lap courses, his net winnings being well over $3,o0o. He cost Murphy 5000, and as ha is q geIding, was subject to import duty which amounted to s125o. making the wfggIer from the Dominion cost Mur-

BATTERY MEN IN HARNESS.
Princeton and Brown Begin Baseball
 Practice.

Princeton and. Brown have begun baseball practice with small squads, only the battery candidates being called out so far. The early start at Princeton has been necessitated by the absolute lack of battery material af- ter the loss Of Capt Sterrett at the backStop position, and King Lear last years mainstay on the mound. Lear was practically the only reliable pitch CT on the squad last year and has been declared ineligible for the coming sea son on account of his studies. Green baum who was first substitute last year. and two of the other most likely candidates have been lost by gradua- ton. No strong material is available from last years freshman nine, so Coach Bill Clark feels rather anxious as to the prospects for the approach ing season. Practice foEa three catch CTS and four pitchers for three after moons a week until the regular prac- tice starts, is the decree.
 Eight candidates are in practice at Brown. Most of the regular battery men have reported and only the new men will be worked until the begin ming of the second semester. Six of the eight men are prospective twirlers and all but one are first year men. Saxton has the best reputation of the squad, having made a good record on the Brockton high team last year. Don ahue of Morris Heights and Dick, last years New Bedford high school pitch CT, will receive careful attention. There were but two candidates for the catch Ing staff. Wetnore was on the squad last year and caught on his class team. Swaffield made 8 good record at Ped die Institute. Eddie Eayrs, the for
 ner Morris Heights star. will join the pitchers later. Hazlett, catcher from Morgan Park academy, Chicago will also come out, within a few days. The list of men reporting follows Pitchers, Bracket, 1918, Donahue. 1916. Saxton, 1916, Dick. 1916. Healey, 1s16. sprague.

Pittsburg Jan 9.-Ora c. Morning star of Pittsburg, worlds champion at 1S.1 balk line billiards. retained his title tonight by defeating George Sut-H ton of Chicago. 500 to 47S. The game went 32 innings.
 Morningstar made an average of 1b 2e-32 and Sutton 15 13-31. High runs were: Morningstar 65. 59, AT; Sutton, 5S, 45, A.
 Morningstar won the title from Sus- ton in Chicago, May IS. 1912, and this is the first match they have played since the Pittsbufg player became the champion.
 The champion started the game by forging ahead, but was caught by Sut-. ton in the tenth inning, the score at that time being 114 to If. Sutton then gained the lead and held 1t until the last few innings of the game.
 The excitement came after the 18th inning. Sutton at that time had lead over Morningstar of 72. Morn ingstar who had gained confidence in himself, made a run of 59 in the 30th inning. Sutton followed with the small score of 8. In the 31st inning Morningstar passed Sutton's score by a run of 43, going to within one point of 500. He missed on the last shot. Sutton came up and made one shot and failed on the second. The balls were left in such a position by Sut- tom s final play that all the champion had to do was to shoot and the game was won

2hy a tidy sum before he was lodged

phy a tidy sum before he was lodged in his stables at Poughkeepsie.
 Another -pacer who will be out the coming season is Knight Onwardo (2.05 12). This savage little pony was the only one to take the meas ure of Joe Patchen II the past season, winning at the Fort Erie track. Had the Patchen horse been out of the way Knight Onwardo would undoubt-i edly have been the leading money winning pacer of last year. He was driven by Nat Ray, formerly well known on the Canadian and Eastern tracks as a Steeplechase rider. The little horse is about as savage as they make them, but Ray had no trouble with him: he knew his master and raced like a bulldog. His record bars stakes, but there are few for the 2.05 and 2.06 classes and he looks to be as likely a pacer as will be out eligible to those classes.
 While. but few high class trotters have ever come from across the bor- der, nearly every season sees one or more of the side wheelers who get the money. The Patchen horse, Knight Onwardo and Grand Opera got the bulk of 1t in the stakes last season; Vernon Mckinney, a California pro- duct but owned in Canada, was big winner in 1911 and other seasons have seen such high class perform CTS as The Eel (2.02 1-4), Angus Point CT {2.01 34, who swept the grand circuit in 1907; Harold H. (2.G3 3-4), Merry Widow (2.03 3-4) and others

SAYS EvERs WILL FAIL.
Jennings, Tiger Manager, Thinks
 Johnny is Too High Strung.

Hughie Jennings says that Manager Evers would be a failure as manager of the Cubs simply because of his exoitable temperament.
 He is too high strung" the Tiger leader said. "He was so nervous even as a player that she suffered a break down a couple of seasons ago and had to quit. With the added cares of managing that Chicago bunch of crab bers, it will be all the worse. Besides, he has to contend with the trenen- dous and growing unpopularity of hIs owner and with the fact that the Cub fans have been accustomed to a win ner for SC many years that slump is going to put the team in bad ifnnne- diately. The slump is certain, because of loss of such stars as Brown, Tinker and Chance, and the fact that he has, mt q pitcher on his staff whom he can send in and feel that he'll win, When he finds the Cubs trailing he simply will go crazy,
 T am not knocking Evers, either. I like him. Last fall when he first was spoken Of as manager I encouraged him all I could, hoping that the re- sponsibiiity of the nagership would steady him, but, frankly, I don't

 It has not yet been definitely de-
 cided when the freshman candidates
 will be called out for winter work in the cage. The work for the freshmen will be along the same lines as those of the varsity During the season of 1913 particular attention will be given to the class teams. It is the wish of
 Captain Blossom and of Coach Quinby to make the class teams more than ever the stepping stones to the varsi ty. Although probably they will not course the freshmen there will be a. call for candidates for the class teams as soon as the weather permits. A more extensive schedule than that of previous years will be arranged Gnd games will be started immediately af- ter the Easter recess. It Is the earnest desire of the coach and captain that all who have ever played baseball will come out for one of the class teams as in this way promising material which might not be able to remain on the varsity squad will be given an op- portunity to develop.

WHY PITCHERS CAN'T HIT.
Deacon Jim McGuire Throws Some
 Light on the Subject

Deacon Jim Mcclure, the old High lander catcher, former manager of the Red Sox and the Maps. and now scout for the Tigers, has solved the puzzle why pitchers cannot hit. Tn venera- ble deacon says the reason why pitch CTS cannot hit is not because they are pitchers but because the men who do the big league pitching are naturally
 "The fellows who pitch in the big leagues could not hit bit better if they played right field or third base, Mcclure says. When a kid begins to play ball he likes to hit it out, but when he grows older and finds he can not hit he devotes his time and energy to pitching as he does not have to hit to make a pitcher The same IS true in all the small minor leagues.
 Good hitters do not stay pitchers. When a. young fellow starts in a bush league as a pitcher and they find out he can hit they quickly shift him to cry day. They make outffelders of most of them, a few turn infelders and some become catchers. On the other hand, a --oung inf1e1der or out fielder gets Joo Tn tne pushes ana finds out after time he is unable to
 Almost all of these fellows have done little pitching, and they ask the manager to give them a chance in the box Some make good and subse- quently graduate into the big leagues.
 Some of the best batters in the big leagues started in the game pitch CTS. Bresnahan, Seymour and Wolter are players who started in the big league as pitchers, but their battir~ was so strong that they were shifted to other positions. Johnny K1ing and Harry Hooper are other players who started as pitchers, but picked out regular jobs after they found they could sting the ball. Veach, our new outfe1der who hit .342 in the Ameri- can league last season. was a pitcher in the Coast league. but hit too we'll to be a twirler.'

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
AN UPWARD SWING. Prices Ascend Despite Limited De-
 mand for Stocks.

New York Ja-n- s.-Although the de- mand for stocks was still limited to- day and trading continued dull prices were elevated in all departments and the best figures of the session showed gains of one to three points in a large number of issues. The success which attended efforts to mark up manipu- lated issues early in the day led to broadening of speculative operations to include the standard shares and there was a comprehensive upward swing. The coppers lost all trace of their weakness of yesterday and show ed marked strength. The petroleum shares the local traction issues and some of the independent steel stocks were prominent in the dealings, and rubber rose to 6s IA. its highest price on record.
 The expected announcement of new made today, it's forthcoming s64, 100000 issue of convertible 41-2 per cent. bonds being the first large undertaking of the kind this year. The price of 95 1-2 per cent at which these bonds are to be offered to stockholders gave some indica tion of the terms on which the extensive new financing now con templated may be accomplished. If the success of this financing condition warrants it, it is probable that other offerings will follow rapidly.
 Call loans again ruled under 3 per cent, and with money still flowing in from the interior there was every indi- cation that the money market had set tied down for a period of ease. For eign exchange rates continued to rise, the market not having been affected by the exportation of gold. The scare ity of commodity bills. the foreign financial situation and the relaxation of money here accounted for the con tinued strength of exchange.
 The bond market was steady. Total sales, par value, $3.047, 600.

o'RoURkE UP IN ARMS
 OVER BASEBALL DEAL
President of Eastern Association to
 investigate Alleged Sale of Short
 Sstop Cabrera to Indianapolis Team.

Jim Murphy hasn't a right in the world to sell or have sold Al Cabrera 9sso 9s Johnny IeweT" said a tna PTssidsnt res Iaa association in talking of the sale of Cabrera by the former owner of the New Britain and Waterbury franchises and the prospective disposal of Lower. Those players are the property of Sam Kennedy and when he bought the club he took with it the sole right to self any member of the club.
 It is said that Murphy and Ken nedy had either a written or verbal agreement about the two players but that does not straighten the matter out. If there was any such agree ment, it should have been reported to me so I could enter it upon the league books and have 1t entered in the records of the national associa- ton.
 That is not because Sam Kennedy IS not man to keep his word but because 1t is according to the laws of baseball. Murphy as an individual cannot own a ball player. No power In the world could have taken those players from Kennedy and given them ment the league should have known about it officially.
 Sam Must Explain.
 Tt Is this sort of work that de- Inoralizes baseball and weakens the structure of the league. It is poor business and is entirely, contrary to the welfare of the Eastern associa- tion. Sam Kennedy is the only one who can explain it and think there is an explanation ldue.'
 President O'Rourl<e, who is just able to attend to his legal business after a long illness with heavy cold, ap- peared much put out over the deal, and it may be that he intends to ask the Waterbury club for an explanation.
 MT. O'Rourke says that nothing of n hn Y~nr two 3nxy stand" schedule will come up at the league meeting in Hartford this month. He says that it will be a difficult mat ter to arrange this sort of schedule for the league, but that he has inn p1fcit faith in Sid ChalIenger's ability to do it.

Famous Expert Claims That Man Must Train Faithfully to Become Prof. cient in Game Upon the Courts.

Shelf Director Says Unconventional
 Marriage Bars Him.

According to the statement of Di- rector Russell H. Chittenden of the Sheffield Scientific school, Lefty Flynn, Yale's big halfback, has excommuni- cated himhelf from Shelf by marry ing. Professor Chittenden made it sari1y debar an undergraduate from continuing his studies at Shelf. but that such an unconventional one as Hymns was reported to be, did.
 Director Chittenden stated that Flynn had been 8 good scholar and that although he was twice a fresh man that was due to illness the first year. He was not an honor man, so it was stated, but his work has been satisfactory to the Shelf faculty.
