CHICAGO, Feb. e2.--rt was announced
tonight that Jake Stahi will not manage
the Brooklyn Federal League team or be
connected with the league In any way.
AS Il result the hackers of the Brooklyn
team will have to look elsewhere for
managerial timber
This decision on the part OF Stahl came
late to-day rs result of n meeting OF
the board OF directors OF the Englewood
bank with which Stahl has been con-
nected. The bank officials were spurred
on by the announcement by Stahl that
he had practically closed a deal with the
Federsls and that only slight hitch
as to his contract prevented the deal
being closed. The bank officials met and
a. a result Of the conference Stahl was
persuaded that his place was with the
bank and that he should not return to
baseball at this time, IL at all.

The lack OF prestige In the National

Conclusive evidence that the American
automobile manufacturers are conQuerins

analysis OF the report OF the Department
Of Commerce for the past year made by
Alfred Reeves OF New York. Last year
he United States exported 26,sS9 automo-
bles. 1908 OF them commercial vehicles,
valued at e27,o29.4bl. an increase Of al
most 10 per cent. over 1912. when the ex-
ports were 23.72o cars. valued at 3?3,-
7o3.9se. In 1911 the figures were 1897
cars. Mr.. Reeves calls attention TO the
fact that the average value for the three
years Is about $1,000, proving that the
higher grade cars are holding their own
and that besides absorbing moderate
priced automobiles the foreigners are In
equal ratio. showing appreciation Of the
big and luxurious products Of American
makers.
In addition 10 tho regular figures II
must be remembered that two American
factories In CANADA and one branch fac
tory In London made approximately 1900
automobiles for tho foreign trade. The
parts and accessory exports amounted to
