Hermann Winner
in a Player Deal;
Handed Rich Stake

New York, Feb. 14.-When Garry
Hermann left for Cincinnati yester-
day he was ahead of the game Just
81, 600, that amount having been won
from Samuel Lichtenheim, owner of
the Montreal club on a wager that
President Hermann of the CincIn-
natl "Reds" would land a certain
player within two hours after he
started negotiations.
Last Fall the Philadelphia Nation
ais sent Outfielder Doc Miller to
Montreal, but recently Miller has been
flirting with the Baltimore Federals.
Lichtenheim, it seems, could not sign
him, and when asked by Hermann
yesterday to explain the reason, he
said to the Cincinnati magnate:
"I will bet you $1,000 to $40 that
you cannot sign Miller inside of two
hours"
Hermann put up a $40 bill in the
hands of stakeholder and told Lich-
tenheim that he did not have to post
his money. Lichtenheim, believing
that Miller was in Philadelphia, rub
bed his hands together and chuckIed.
Hermann, who knew that Miller was
practicing medicine about three
blocks away from the hotel, disap-
peared, and in one hour and twenty
five minutes by the watch he returned
with the players signed contract
much to the CONSERVATION of the
Montreal magnate, who, however
paid the bet with display of good
humor.

Will Lease Maximus
For Tri-State Games

Reading, Pa, Feb. 14.-That the
owners of the Reading Tri-State base
ball club have fully decided to lease
the Circus Maximus in preference to
Lauer's park for the coming season
was indicated yesterday by the fact
that Jacob l.. Weitzel, representative
of the local club, received word from
John Myers stating that he should ar
range for conference with the direc-
tors Of the Farmers National Bank,
which controls the modern Twelfth
street plant.
In his letter Mr.. Myers stated that
he would come here early next week.
He will meet the directors of the bank
and it is certainty that he will lease
the big park for the games this sea-
son. When Mr.. Myers was here a
week ago he stated that he was not
much impressed with Lauer's park
and that 1t would cose several thou
sand dollars to put it in condition.
The hackers of the local club built a
new park at Atlantic City last season
and lost nearly $4,000. Instead of
putting out any money this season
for building or improving grounds,
they want to use the cash to buy new
players and put a pennant winner
here.

changes in the playing rules Of base

NATIONAL LEADERS
MEET TO DISCUSS
Big LABOR ISSUES
Gompers, Morrison, Mitchell
and O'Connell Confer on
Topics to Be Considered by
Federation.

The general staff OF the executive
council, of the American Federation of
Labor, under the Craftsmanship Of Sam
uel Gompers, president of the federation,
met in the Hotel Walton today to con-
slider issues and proposals preparatory
to the opening of tho annual convention
of the federation in Horticultural Hall.
Monday. Among those who attended the
meeting OF the executive council were
Samuel Gompers, Frank Morrison, James
ODonnell and John Mitchell.
President Gompers has strongly opposed
the plan for the amalgamation Of all
metal trades into one organization, on
the ground 1t would create trouble, con-
fusion and misunderstanding among
men employed in the various trades. In
his opposition, Gompers said he voiced
the sentiment of the conservative faction
of the American Federation Of Labor as
against the more radical
Although, in an interview Mr.. Gompers
expressed himself in favor Of the In
dustriaI form of organization and point
ed to the resolution OF the Rochester
convention on the matter, he opposed
the method of industrialism.
The argument OF those favoring ANAL
gamation of this faction is that since
capital organized 1t is necessary for
labor to organize along industrial lines
instead of dividing the industry into its
various crafts.
Mr.. Gompers also took occasion to ex-
press. satisfaction with the labor clause
of the CLAYTON antitrust bill saying tho
exemption of labor from prosecution
under the Sherman antitrust law was a
distinct victory for labor. He depre-
Gated the result of last Tuesdays election
and said that it was due to tho blindness
of the unorganized workingmen OF this
country.
The Metal Trades department will con-
clude its convention today with the cleo
ton OF officers. other departments OF
the Federation will hold their conven-
tions on Monday, Immediately following
the Federations sessions.

.SHTPYARDS IN CITY
WEIGH PLANS FOR
GIANT SUBMARINES
New Craft for United States
Navy Will Be Largest and
Most Powerful in the
World.

Local shipyards have in hand the specl-
fications for the new giant submarines
to be constructed for the United States
navy. Bids for trese naval wonders
will be opened by the Navy Depart
ment on December Is. officials of the
William Cramp 6 Sons Shlpbuiding
Company and the New York Shipbuild-
Ing Company, while admitting they were
estimating on the plans and specifications,
were unable to say definitely whether
they would bid for the boats. The amount
appropriated for tho craft is 1926, ,0OO Six
of them will be built
These submarines, a new type said to
outclass any of this craft afioat, will aug
ment further the rapidly growing navy
OF the United States. Last year IL sub
marines were finished for the Govern
ment at shipyards on the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts and on the Lakes. Cramps
turned one OF these over to the Govern
ment. 1t was the Ga, built after the
laurent model in use by the Italian Gov
eminent. At the time it was supposed
to be the last word in submarine building.
The Ga is 157 feet 6A inches in length
over all, II feet 61s inches beam, with a
floating draft of 10 feet. Her displace-
ment submerged is 457 tons. She has a
speed of IA knots on top of the water
and nine knots beneath.
The increased power of the new sub
marines can best be realized by compar-
Ing their dimensions with those of the
GA. The new craft will be nearly 200
feet long, with a displacement of 1900 tons,
almost three times that OF the GA. They
will have a surface speed of 2l knots and
an underwater speed of 16 knots. Their
swiftness under water viii be greater
than that OF the Ga on the surface. They
will be able to keep up with battleship
feet, and their cruising radius of $500
miles Will give them an enormous ad-
vantage over any submarine boats now
afioat.
More than a half hundred submarines
are now IN the service OF the United
States Navy. Germany has about 70. with
England n close second. The United
States submarines, with suitable tenders,
are stationed at various ports along the
Atlantic coast and a submarine station
recently has been established at the west
ern end of the Panama Canal, where five
OF these submergible war dogs are kept.
The submarines now in use by the navy
have been constructed in three types, the
Holland, Lake and laurent More of the
Lake boats have been built than any
other model. In their trials they gave
extreme satisfaction to the naval authori-
ties. They can remain under the water
for moro than two days without diti-
Guilty.
On the surface, gasoline and heavy oil
engines are used While these engines
are in operation they charge storage bat
teries that operate electric dynamos for
the engines when the vessels are sub
merged.
