WILL NOT BID
 FOR RUN BAKER Red Sox Satisfiee With Larry Gard
 ner's Work

If Home Run Baker is really to be put upon the market and the former star third sacker of the Athletic pass ed up by Connie Mack, who is riddinG his team of extravagantly high-priced players and stifiing pro-Federal lea gue sentiment at the same time, 1t may be put down as certain that the Bos- ton Red Sox will make no effort to secure him.
 One year ago at this time the very suggestion that Baker could be pur- chased or traded for would have put every American league manager on his trail; but times have changed since the fall of 1918, and if Baker is really turned loose there vii be no mad scramble to annex him
 At any rate, he will not come to the Red SoX. He may be a harder hitter than Larry Gardner in a pinch, and his seasons average may overtop the Boston mans by many a point; he may be mora reliable in the field and a better maTpalong the base paths, but in spite of al this Manager Carrigan and President Lannin would far pre- fer the regular incumbent of the third base berth on the Boston team.
 The announcement of Bakers ap- parent loss of prestige in Philadelphia will cause no great sensation in the baseball world. During the greater ra~t of the season just passed he suf- fered the same slump that his team mates were experiencing, and in the big series he proved one of the colos- sal disappointments of the year. For the first time in a battle for the worlds championship he failed to do anything that would enable his team to take the measure Of the Braves.
 This is the principal reason why such a. decided loss of prestige has been suffered by Connie Macll's great star But there ae othe causes, too.

But perhaps the strongest mo- tive that has actuated Connie Mack in his determination to get rid of him is the disposition that Baker has shown toward doing business with the Fed eraI league has made Mack doubly anxious to replace him.

To Participate in Panama-Pacific In- ternationaI Exposition.

Bordeaux, Nov. 23, via Paris, 5.30 D. m.-The semi official communication announcing the intention of the gov ernment to participate in the Panama Pacific international exposition says that this country's participation will be an expression of the good will of the French toward the United States and that it is the desire of France to draw yet closer the bonds connecting the two great republics.

He di- rected Solicitor Edgerton of the navy department to confer with the district attorney to determine whether there was basis for legal action.
 Managers of the theatre called on the secretary today to explain the in cident. They declared no discrimina- tion against sailors or soldiers in uni form was shown at the playhouse and said several men of each service were in the audience Saturday night.
 The doorkeepers believed the two men, who had purchased tickets but were refused admission. showed evil dence of being under the influence of liquor, they said and excluded them for that reason.

Secretary Garrison Replies to Repre- sentative Gardner of Massachusetts.

Washington, Nov. 23.-War depart ment officials possess no information which they feel free to disclose as to the state of the nations defenses which has not already been made pub- lie in a letter addressed by Secre- tary Garrison today to Representa- tive A. P. Gardner of Massachusetts. MT. Gardner introduced a resolution providing for congressional investiga- tion of the military situation in the United States at the last session and had written the secretary regarding his appearance as witness during the proposed hearing. MT. Garrison's let ter says in part:
 "I note that you express the hope that I will be the first witness before tary Breckenridge will likewise con- sent to give his testimony, and that you have invited a number of army officers to testify. do not think it seemly for me to offer myself to the committee nor do l believe that the assistant secretary would think it proper for him so to do and I feel sure that officers should not place themselves in. position of volunteering information or views to congress or one of it's committees.
 q am not, as you must be aware, standing on any question of technical procedure or insisting on any partic- ular form of red tape method. I am simply endeavoring to do what seems to me to be the proper thing to do in any matter between one of the departments and congress. Whomso- ever and whatsoever the committee expresses a desire to have from this department, will be immediately fur nished it. Until otherwise advised will not offer myself to the commit tee or approve of anyone else under me doing so.
 With respect to your suggestion that, the testimony of myself and the officers will disclose a, state of facts so astonishing as to challenge the at tention of the country. I can only say that practically every fact which I or any officer would feel free 10 disclose is now available to the public and

As Evidence in Behalf of Man Accused
 of Fraud in Selling Lands.


 Kansas City, Mo, Nov 2s.-Fruits and vegetables grown on Florida Ev- erglades land were brought into the federal court here today as evidence on behalf of E. C. Chambers and four others accused of fraud in selling Florida farms.

Callahan and he showed them oats, wheat, alfalfa, corn, barley, rice, grapefruit, lemons and sweet potatoes which he said he had grown, without fertilizer on his everglades farm this year.
 Callahan said, on cross examination, that his farm was used as a show place for visitors to the Everglades and that it was on the edge of Lake Okeeohobee and contained a much larger amount of mineral matter in the soil than land further down the Ev- erglades.
 Barkley, who brought nine pound sweet potato to the stand among other that he had been associated with Chambers in the sale of Florida land and that he was one of those arrested with him.
 Several other Everglade farmers tes- tified that Everglade lands were val uahle, the defense seeking to show that Chambers had not asked too much for his land.

NO CHANGE OF PRESENT
 RATE OF DISCOUNT.
Until Federal Reserve Board Has Ae-
 urate Information,

Washington, Nov 2S.-Until the fed eral reserve board has accurate in formation. on the surplus reserves held by member banks, it does not expect to change the present rates for re- discount of commercial paper.
 Present information has led the board to believe that there is about S2OO, 0O0 of surplus reserve in the member, banks in the north and east They fear that a lower rate of re-dis- count might lead to a exportati6n of gold. which they do not wish to see at this time. Until this reserve stock has been lessened the rates probably will be unchanged in these sections.
 In the south and west, where much of the pressure for changed rates originates, the boards information shows less surplus reserves and it is possible that changes will be made there fin the near future No definite action, however, has been taken in regard to any suggestions on discount rates.
 The board announced tonight that each federal reserve agent shall be bonded in the sum of S25O. 900 and each deputy agent $150,00O.

STOCK EXCHANGE TO OPEN
 BEFORE END OF MONTH
Substance of Assurances Received
 from Banking Authorities.

New York, Nov. 23.-That the stock exchange is quite certain to reopen for limited business before the end of the month was the substance of the assurances received today from re- spopsible banking and brokerage au- thoritieS. It was declared that a ma jority of the banks with Wall Street connections now favor resumption of bond trading, subject. of course, to price concessions.
 A canvass of the more important local banking interests eicited con- ticting opinions respecting the prob- able extent of foreign offerings of American bonds in the event of an early renewal of dealings. Some houses of prominence asserted that buying orders on their books far exceeded of fers to sell, but the prospective de- mand, it was added, was limited al- most entirely to high grade issues.
 Houses with German connections freely admitted the possibility of heavy selling orders and intimations along these lines were also conveyed by bankers representing French and Dutch interests. It was noteworthy, however. that these overshadowing factors exercised little if any influence on the transactions during the day in the private market for bonds, all of which were at or near their recently high levels.
 Reopening of the Chicago stock ex-
 
 tion. The fact that some of the more active stocks traded in there changed hands at prices approximating July 30 quotations was received with satis- faction. Dealings were on a moderate scale and denored much caution. The market for foreign exchange failed to reflect any developments of importance across the water. Cables aid sight bills on London were notably higher because of an increased de- mand, in which cotton figured prom inently.
 Money for all dates was offered at five per cent, indicating further mone- tary ease. Western banks put out considerable sums through their local correspondents.
 News from the middle west indicated an awakening of activity in various lines of industry, although rail traffic was lower by five to ten per cent. than year ago. Grain receipts at Chicago were much lower than in the preceding week, but more than 4,000 0OD bushels in excess of 1913

Why Yale Was Not Allowed Safety.

Tn view of the claim that Yale should have been allowed two points for a safety when Mahan fell on the ball back of his own goal line, The Bulletin quotes from Spalding's Official Football Guide for 1914, Rule VI, Sec ton Is. Page 10S, Paragraphs and 3:
 Tt is a TOUCHBACK when a play CT on defense permits a ball, kicked by an opponent, to strike his person and then roll across his goal line and he or any player of his side then falls on it back of the line.
 Tt is NOT TOUCHBACK if such player jugg1es the ball so that he in any way forces it over the line, and he or any player of his side then falls on it."
 The referee decided that Mahan did not in any way force the ball over the line. He decided that the first para graph quoted above applied to the play. Therefore, Yale went scoreless instead of being given two points for a safety.

Nov. 2S-To maintain successfully her right to seize or de- tain cargoes of American copper car ried on an American or other neutral vessel to a neutral country, such as Italy in the south or Holland in the north of Europe, Great Britain appar- ently finds it necessary to establish the probability that copper actually is destined for Germany or Austria or even Turkey. One means Of establish ing this probability is to demonstrate that there has been an increase in the imports of copper into any neutral country in excess of the normal re- quirements of that country, as tend ing to prove that the surplus copper, or a corresponding quantity already in the country has been allowed to pass across its borders into beIli- gerent country.

The most sensational football sea- son in recent years will close this week with the playing of the Penn sylvania- Cornell game at Philadelphia on Thanksgiving day and the Army Navy game on the same field two days later. Compared with the Prince ton, PrinceIon-Harvard and Yale-Har- ward series. these annual games are of comparatively modern origin. The in- terest, however, is keen and each sea- son the elevens play before crowds that tax the capacity of the stands.
