BosToN's COMBINATION
Compared With Evers- Tinker Combine
 -MaranVilIe Speedy Man.

Johnnie Evers has already been one half of @ world-famOuS second base shortstop combination, the Evers-Tin- ker team. It Is not quite on the cards that he will have his name linked with a second shortstop, and that the two will stand equal with Tinker and Ev CTS Barry and Collins, and all the other famous force-out duos.
 Rabbit Maranville is the young man who will shortstop opposite to Evers' second base The Boston shOrtstop has been one of the stars of the National league. He is 8 brilliant ground GOV erer, a sure fielder.
 In 1918 he made 43 errors in S35 chances, playing in 143 games. Fifth in the ranking of shortstops on aver ages only Mike Doolan of Philadel- phia accepted more chances than the Boston rabbit.
 Of Evers, little need be said of his ability as a second baseman. Not the mechanical equal of Eddie Collins, he does not have to take off his hat to anyone in the matter of brains. He can be of immense value in helping Maranville.
 Evers was third in the number of chances accepted by second basemen, and that while in only 136 games. So with this pair on the job 1t will be a real safe hit that gets through.
 One odd feature of the Evers- Mar anville combination is the small size of the players. The two weigh, together, less than some white hopes, running between 120 and 130 pounds apiece.

CHASE COMES TO TERMS.
Will Join Team in Few Days
 Johnson Ready for War.

A special from the training camp of the Chicago Americans at Paso Robles said Hal Chase, the holdout first base man, had finally come to terms and would join the team in a few days in Oakland. A cut from the salary Chase received as manager of the New York Americans, it Is understood was the cause of the difference.
 If the Federal league wants war they can have it, said President John son as he boarded the train. He dis cussed briefly President Gilmore's threat of war, conveyed in telegrams yesterday to him and to President Tener of the National league and in the foregoing phrase showed the atti- tude of organized baseball towards the Federals. He said he would not an swer the telegram.
 "Organized baseball does not fear any war. As for the Blanding case, on which Gilmores complaint of injury is based" Johnson said, President Somers of the Cleveland club was con- hdent he was within his rights in re- signing the pitcher. I have personal knowledge that Banding never wanted to leave the Cleveland club.''
 President Johnson refused to discuss the reserve rule, but said the American league was ready at any time to make a court test of 1t.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
NEW HAVEN STRONGER.
Develops Strength Despite Depression
 of the Railroad List.

New York March 5.-Closing quo tations today showed general losses, which were largest among the railroad stocks. The market made a. small ad- vance in the early trading, under the stimulus of active speculative buying. The steel stocks, yesterdays strong points, were again the favorites While the buying appeared to be largely in the nature of short covering, there were evidences of increased speculative dealings on the long side.
 A severe break in Chesapeake and Ohio effectively checked the movement. Announcement after the close yester- day, of SS2, 900, 900 issue Of five per cent. notes caused the stock to sell off two points at the opening today, Later it became known that the terms of the issue provided that S17,000, 900 should be set aside out of earnings during the next five years for i'm provements and betterments. these ex- penditures to be made before dividends were paid. As Chesapeake and Ohio's surplus for the last fiscal year, after payment of dividends, was only S159,- 000 it was thought that this new ObN- gation impaired the prospect of con- tinued dividend payments, and the stock sold off abruptly to 58 IS, a loss of nearly six points, and closed with only a fractional recovery.
 So much importance has been at tached recently to matters affecting railroad finances that the decline in Chesapeake and Ohio depressed the general railroad list considerably. Less favorable prospects for the enlistment of new capital, decreasing railroad earnings and the uncertain outlook for the five per cent. increase in freight rates all bear upon the speculative position of the railroad stocks which have been increasingly sensitive re- gently. It is a favorite theme of trad CTS that no sustained bull market can be expected until the railroads are definitely in a better position. Can adian Pacific and Baltimore and Ohio showed decided weakness at times, and Reading, Lehigh, Union Pacific and other stocks also gave way materially New Haven developed marked strength In the late dealings.
 Copper shares were heavy on less favorable trade reports. Texas Com pany continued to advance, reaching new high record at 149 7-S.
 Bonds were irregular. Some issues yielded sharply. Total sales. par value, $2,6S5, 900.

TWENTY YEARS ON THE CINDER PATH
By JOHN D. NOLAN.

The season of 1894 was the best I experienced, both from an athletic and financial point of view. Beginning with my s1.000 race with Hegelman, a few weeks after my return from Europe, up to the close of the season, l enjoyed an almost continuous series of sue cesses, and for the first time l was able to deposit a few hundred dollars in the bank with which l soon after wards bought a small farm near Taft vile, which has proved to be good investment.
 I did little running in 1895, up to July 4, when I went to Newark, N. J., Several thousand people witnessed these games. coming from all over eastern New Jersey, and this was the cause of a rather comical betting mix up that day. There were 20 events on the programme. the principal one be- ing three mile race. When the mile race was called at 1.30 o'clock D. m. there were not 6 great number present and this l won rather easily in Am. 0os. Alter this the attendance increased rapidly and when the three mile race was called at o'clock p. m. several thousand people were present. There were nine entries in this race, among whom were Dunkerly of Paterson, Du- frame of Elizabeth and Peter Golden, the slx-day runner of New York city.
  ters. and that day many of them were in d speculative mood. and during the race l observed Q good many bets be- ing made. Dunkerly and Golden alter mated in the lead during the first two miles, when l went to the front and won by 50 yards in 15n. 45s. My vic tory seemed to be a popular one, judg- ing from the applause l received, and I hastened to dress as I wished to return at once to Elizabeth.
 I had nearly finished dressing when three men rushed into the room and one excitedly asked: will you be good enough to tell us your name, sir?'' Certainly" I replied. My name is John Nolan ''The devil 1t isl" exclaimed the inquirer. Do you mean to tell me you are not Mccoy of New Brunswick" '%Why, of course, he isn'tI" chimed in another of the trio. That is Jack Cunningham of Morris town, or my name isn't Tom Brown" "

RECEPTION FOR TOURISTS.
Special Train Coming from Chicago
 Feds Will Be on Hand.

New York expects to entertain a big collection of baseball enthusiasts at the end Of this week when the worlds tourists will be welcomed home from their long trip. A special train carry ing several hundred Chicago fans and other large delegations are reported about to start from Philadelphia. Bos- ton, Pittsburgh, Washington and other cities.
 The Biltmore hotel has been selected as headquarters for the demonstration of welcome, and the touring Giants and White Sox will be taken there af- ter their arrival on the Lusitania on Friday. On that day there will be meetings of the officials and club owners of the National and American leagues, and 1t is likely the gathering will be taken advantage of to hold meetings of other baseball organiza- tons. On Saturday night cirtually all of the men who control the national game, together with an army of play CTS, sporting writers and invited guests, will gather about the festal board in the Biltmore at the great banquet arranged in honor of the globe trotting baseball teams,

Well. you lads are all surely da1t said the third, who was a Scotchman- If he isn't Jack Gleason of Orange, and if can't find a thousand people Tn this park to prove 1t, I'll eat my olo hati"
 By this time I had finished dressing. and seeing that this unexpected com plication would lead to disagreable ar guments, without result. 1 said: Gen tlemen, you are all mistaken as to my identity. All you need to do Is to con suit the official who took the entries and he will enlighten you at once"
 The three men left the room and at once cashed my checks and left for Elizabeth. while the judge informed them that my name was Nolan and declared all bets off. I had formerly run races in those cities under these names, when 1 first went to New Jer- sey as a ringer. which was the custom in those days, and all these people were betting on the same man. No one was heeced, however, and the Jersey people enjoyed the joke-whlcn was published in the Newark papers for some time.
 The following day Conrad Marks of Suspicion, Staten Island paid US a visit and asked us to furnish him with several hundred dollars for a 200 yard race with Jack Oliver of Perth Amboy, N. J. Marks informed us that it was a sure thing, as Oliver wished to get even with hotel keeper who had kept the Hons share of the win nings in recent race won by Oliver We did not like the looks of things and declined to take part in the scheme, advising Marks to have noth- ing to do with Oliver. He said he would drop the matter. but @ few days later we read the following item in a Staten Island paper:
 Connie Marks, the popular distance runner of Suspicion. was defeated yes terday in a 200 yard race by Jack Oli- yer of Perth Amboy. Marks and his brotherin-law, Paul Volknlann, drew $700 from the bank and placed 1t on Marks. We understand that Connie got the double cross from Oliver, who won his confidence and then trimmed him to the queens taste. The result of this race will probably convince Connie that it is safer to stick to legitimate races than to attempt to make a fortune by the easy route.'"

Though the motorcycle had kept pace all the way with the larger car, it was still in excellent condition, and journed back to civilization, returning with the necessary repairs and sup plies.

SUBSCRIPTION FOR wADDELL.
Philadelphia Fans Are Getting Purse
 for Rube-Siek With Tuberculosis.

The plan to get up a. public sub scription for "Rube" Waddell the once great southpaw, has been nipped in the bud. Wadden is now in San Antonio making a hard fight to over come the ravages of tuberculosis. AS soon as the fans of Philadelphia heard of the man who was once their idol they began talking of getting up a purse for "Rube.''
 Such move would undoubtedly have proven very popular but the plan will not be permitted by Connie Mack.
 WaddelPs old boss has given orders that Waddel should have the best of medical attention and nursing and that no expense should be spared to help the once mighty Rube regain his health or to ease his sufferings if his battle is to be a losing one Messrs. Mack and President Benjamin Shibe will share the expense.

Then came the question of how to get his vegetables to market more quickly than his neighbors were able to do.
