LOOKING BACK
TO THE YEAR 1902
How the Situation Was Viewed
by Students at That Time
Conditions Then.

Now that the currency bill has become
a law. it is interesting TO glance back
ever the years gone by during which the
progress of movement for more COM
prehensive banking and currency system
has been in operation. In 1872 there APP.
peared In THE Bankers Magazine Chi
caro-. an article signed by Daniel b. Ely,
which was prophetic in way of the
present status Of government supervision
OF the trusts and the new banking sys-
tim. The following is an extract:
THE same glarng defects which now
exist in our laws relating TO the govern
ment OF Industrial consultations would
apply with much greater force 10 me

these modern industrial giants brought

that the uses of this concentrated power

American banking facilities. II banks

should be organized.
This consolidation movement may be
ACCOMPLISHED and the benefits derived
without the transfer Of local control Of
the banks 10 the financial centre OF the
country. as is feared under the adoption
OF the English branch bank system. The
incorporation OF the state bankers as
soc.atlons in each state and the consol-
dation of interests into great state
banking corporation do not seem I'M
possible. II would secure the DEMENT'S OF
the branch bank system. and yet retain
the good features OF our present banking
laws For still greater unity OF acton

COOPER TO RED SOX;;
 NUNAMAkER TO TANKS
Interchange of P.ay5Ts Made by
 New York; and Boston.

New York. May 2S.-President Frank J. Farrell of the New Yorks announces the sale of Pitcher Guy Cooper to the Boston Red Sox. MT Farrell said that the young boxman was disposed of for cash. It was also announced that Catcher Leslie Nuna- maker came to Frank Chance on cash purchase. The inference Is nat ural that Cooper goes to Boston in exchange for Nunamaker.
 Both teams are likely to benefit greatly as a result of their recent bar gaining. Nunamaker certainly gave the very best account of himself be- hind the bat for New York before he was so. unfortunate as to sustain split thumb. Cooper should develop into a rattling pitcher for the Red Sox. It is not likely that Chance would ever have thought Of sacrific- ing him if the manager had not been so hard pressed for catching talent about the time that Sweeney showed signs of bronchial affliction.
 Cooper made a very favorable inn pression on Chance during the spring training trip. He Is big right handler and almost an exact counter part of the famous Ruhe Waddell in looks and build. If the Peerless Lead CT had not zeen so bountifully sup piled with fine pitchers it is likely that Cooper would have had chance to prove his worth before this. He is a very aggressive fellow, game to the core and possessed of remarkable spede and fine curve. Cooper came from Petersburg of the Virginia league, where he won the pennant single handed last season. New York outbid Brooklyn for his services. Cooper was formerly a star athlete of the United States navy. For couple of seasons he held the mid dleweight championship of the Att lantic squadron.
 Now that Farrell and Lannin have broken the ice it will not be surpris- ing if further exchanges in players are made. Chance is very desirous of adding a couple of hitters to his team. Boston possesses one outfielder who is doing bench duty who appeals to New York, and has also a utility in- fielder for whom the locals would go

SC|NSkI TURNS THE TRICK ON HAMILTON
O'Haa and Jones Assist in TrOunc- : inc Former Associates.

Springfield, May 2S.-Until some of Websters successors coin a more fit ting expression it will be necessary to describe yesterdays game between New Britain and Springfield as 'tweird." That poor old word has been mgged into print on numerous occa- sions this year in the Eastern asso- citation and it will probably apply to the union for relief from overtime work. But it happens to describe quite well the battle fought between William Jennings Scinski's subway workers and William Careys stable of colts on May 27, 1914, A. D., in the Superior city. The Connecticut in- | Yaders won, 10 to '.
 Scinski used fifty per cent. of his pitching staff to stem the tide and it was not until Ray Hancock ascended the mound that the Ponies were squelched. Billy Hamilton, the Springfield pilot. kept Hal Justin in the box long enough to put the game in the cold storage plant for New Britain and then sent Johnny Lower in for relief work.
 Even Hod Johnson, the Haddam prophet, would not have dared to forecast fourteen hits for New Britain ard Hod has taken some chances as a prognosticator. But that Is the num- i, her the visitors turned in and some of them were good, healthy clouts that mean work for the scorers when there were men on bases.
 Catcher Egan of New Britain led his Club in swatting, poking out four clean singles. Larry Pratt, Egan's Contemporary. did him one better by connecting for three singles and triple The particularly exciting moment in the game was when "Bill'' Luby, the New Britain first baseman, stole second. Luby was used as model by T. F. Powers, the New York cartoonist, who originated the original picture of the ''beef trust.''
 New Britain showed so much pep that the local fans were surprised. The Nutmeggers came here with the reputation of being fast semi-pros but the shoe was on the other foot as they uncovered considerable big league stuff. The score: -.@ s es $.
