OPENING OF SEASON WILL
FIND MUCKALELS READY

than anything Americas had last year
at that station.
Incidentally Davie need have no
worry about his outfeld. Walt Brouth-
ers is good enough Tor any team i'll
the circuit. Barber, semi-pro of At
lanta, has shown class the past three
years in the city league of the Gate
City. Pete McLailn is a corking good
lad in the outer works and Ellis, the
largest man on the team, will be sure
o. a place, because of his ability to
meet the ball good and hard. This big
fellow is a semi-pro, but has received
several iattering offers in the past
from professional clubs. He is little
heavy at present but is fast reducing
his weight. Ellis is a first baseman,
but may be played in the outfeld.
If the new manager gets hold of a
pitching staff in keeping with the rest
of his team and an old-head catcher
to help the boys put 'em over, Amerl-
Gus is going to have one sweet ba
club. Dave has Dacey as a neucleus
for his twirlers and will be able to get
three good ones from Scott, Geary,
Williams, Werner and Bowden or from
Bobby Gilks in the Southern leagus
Then there is a possibility of one Me-
ford Pratt returning to Americas to
play this summer.
Behind the bat Dave has Bowman
and Reilly so far. Reilly has not yet
appeared, but Bowman is a stocky
youngster that CASTOR says can play
ball. Manchester may yet show up
and give some one a run for the job,
but two Southern league moguls have
promised Dave a receiver before the
season opens.

Rain, rain, and then some more rain,
Put a quietus on the workout that was
scheduled for the Muckalees yesterday
Dave CASTOR and his boys were forced
t. spend the day loafng. But Monday
they will get at it again if the rain
holds up and the sun gets in it's good
work. The drizzle that started Friday
night came just at time when it was
not wanted by the Muckalee pilot.
Dave wanted to give the boys stiff
practice Saturday so they could get
the kinks out of their arms. Two days
rest Saturday and Sunday will hurt
the salary whips no little, and to say
the least-the rain was not welcomed
by the new manager.
BY the middle OF next week the fans
of Americas will begin to see a marked
Improvement in the Muckalees. AT
present the boys are stiff and sore and
they cannot be expected to show any
thing at all. But they will be ready
t. cut loose before the end of next
week and then the fans will join with
us in saying that Manager Oavie has a
classy bunch together.
Red" Dacey, who arrived in Ameri-
Gus Friday night, is the same old Red
and looks good" Red is due one
swell year and CASTOR is going to find
that Red will be his standby in the
pitching end of the game. Werner, a
big fellow who came in with him.
looks large enough to be a good one
and will probably give some one a
run for their money. If the Muckalecs
have nothing else they are going to
have one sweet infield. The boys
Dave has cavorting around down at
the park all show class, even at this
stage of the game and by the middle
OF the season will be ranked as the
best ever. Powell, at first, looks like
a find. Bowen at third is a known
quantity in Americas; CASTOR is at nat
ural born player around the keystone,
and Erb and We'll, who are scrapping
for the short field both look better

the stock exchange opened its doors
again. On the narrower market for
listed stocks, there were similar adj
vances in number of issues.
The absence of any decline is now
explained in various ways. First and
foremost no doubt, is the fact that
American investment capital has dur
ing the four past months been accu-
mulating in quarters where it is habit
ually reinvested in securities. There
has been only small opportunity Of
outlet for such funds since July 30.
and what the monthly accumulation
is, may be best judged by the broad
investment business transacted daily
in ordinary times, and by the multi
tude Of new security issues absorbed
by the public in normal market
This is now the main influence on
the bond market.
The Bank of England showed de-
crease of 100000 gold--the largest
weekly decline since the war began.

United Press Leased Wire Service.l
ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. 3.-The city's
detective force today refused to ac-
cept as conclusive the coroner's jury
verdict of "justifiable homicide" in
the shooting of James P. Galloway by
w. B. Carhart, wealthy manufactures,
in the Carhart home early yesterday.
Instead, Chief of Police Langford
assigned his star men to ferret out
further evidence. He announced a
new and thorough probe would be un-
dertaken. Moreover. the department
limited broadly that some Of the facts
had been so hidden that they were
inclined to doubt Carhart's story that
he had mistaken Galloway for a burg
lar.
Meantime relatives of Galloway bore
his remains today to his old home at
LAGRANGE. Ga, for burial
Atlanta society is stirred to It's
depths by the new tragedy; shocked
as it has not been since youthful
Eugene Grace, fatally shot, accused
his wife of the deed.
One of the chief points in the new
mystery is the fact that the victims
shoes were unlaced when police were
called into the home.
Relatives Of the slain man said
fatty today they are not satisfied with
the speedy exonoration given Carhart
by the coroner's jury. The united
shoe laces, they insisted. are signih-
cant OF evidence concealed. Major
Frank Galloway president Of the At
!lanta Southern league baseball club,
brother OF the dead man, insisted on
police Investigation. He also decided
to engage private detective aid in solv.
ing the mystery and limited that he
would see that grand jury considered
the case more fully.
The major insisted that It must be
explained why his brother was in the
Cahart apartments, mile from his
home, after being a member Of Car
'hart's family in one of the city's most
exclusive clubs. He left this place
ahead of the Carharts. but thus far no
clue has come to light to show his
subsequent moves.

VATICAN AND
RUSSIA MAKE UP
To the Advantage Of Both to End
Their Quarrel While War
is in Progress.
BY Henry Wood. United Press Staff

BY Henry WOOD, united Press OtaH
Correspondent
ROME, Dec. 25-(By mail to New
York 1.-The vatican and Russia have
just re-establish.ed cordial relations.
This smoothing over Of the past diff
culties, brought about friendly intt-
nation from the holy see and more
than willing response from Russia, is
one of the first steps accomplished by
Pope Benedict in his plan to have the
vatican offfcially represented at the
peace conference which will follow
the European war
During the last few years of the
pontfffcat.e Of the late Pope Plus x,
relations between the vatican anu
Russia became rather strained. The
vatican alleged that Catholics in Rus
sia were being submitted to the Sc
verest prosecutions Russia failed to
offer any satisfaction and when her
ambassador at the vatican was obliged
to leave his post, no substitute was
ever sent, although diplomatic rela-
lions were never officially broken of.
With the present European crisis, 1t
became highly desirable to the vati-
can that it be on friendly relations
with all Of the powers who are likely
to participate in the coming peace
conference. 1t became equally advan-
tageous also to Russia that she be
back on friendly relations with the
vatican. The latter, for example,
through her strong influence at the
Austrian court might otherwise be
abl., to operate against Russia at the
peace conference. The fntimation
from Pope Benedict that the vatican
would be glad to see the Russian am.
bassadoral place to its courts. filled
met with quick response and the new
ambassador Signor Nelidow from the
court of the car has just presented
his credentials to the court of Pope
Benedict XIV. Amba ssador MELLOW Is
already in communication with Car
| dinal Secretary Of State Gasparri.
