RAY RYAN ARRIVES
FOR BIG TALK ON
BASEBALL MATTERS
MANAGER Is CONFIDENT OF WIN.
MING TEAM-SF.ND OUT CON
TRACTS THIS WEEK.

Ray Ryan. manager OF the 1914
Colts. arrived in Richmond yesterday
and immediately began to talk base
bali fer the coming season, breaking
a rule of reticence, which had al
most o~en credited him because OF
the HIDE gossip which has been Alr-
rished the fans thus far tbs winter.
lie was very optimistic over the pros.
poets for the coming season. and pre-
diets that he will gather bunch of
players here in March which will
make a great bid for the rag.
Contracts are to be sent out within
the next few days. The manager has
not definitely decided which OF the
old men are to be given the chance
to sign again, but will do 20 probably
today, and announcements will be In
order by night or the following day
at the latest 1t 10 expected that the
greater majority OF the old players
will be either traded or sold. and
there are number OF deals hanging
fire just at the present time.
The manager said yesterday that
he expected to have team largely
composed Of youngsters. There are to
be probably two or three men with
considerable experience in the lineup
SO as to serve to hold the others to-
gether in the tight places. but the
greater dependence will be placed in
the fighting blood, and the ambitions
OF the younger men, who have had
one or two seasons work In pro-
fessional bali.
Manager Ryan is OF the opinion
that there will he twenty-five or three
men to report here in the spring. They
will begin outdoor work at once. and
will have bare week of practice be-
fore the first of the practice games.
1t is not improbable that several of
the pitchers may be brought to Rich
mond slightly ahead Of the others OF
the squad so as to be In fair condi-
ton for the exhibition affairs. Ryan
himself win arrive for the season at
least week ahead OF the main part
Of the squad, and will have every
thing ready for their reception.
Letters are being received every day
from various members of the old
team. and from men recently signed
hy the new manager stating that the
players are ready for the opening, and
are in shape already to begin play.
Walter Smallwood Is one OF the latest
TO write, and seems anxious to get
into the center of the diamond again.
Billy Laval also sent letter last week,
and says he never felt better in his
life 1t Is more than probable that

HEARING FOR MOLTz
AFTER CORONER HAS
MADE INVESTIGATION
Preliminary Investigation Of Death
of 12-Year-0 Old by Auto To-
morrow Evening

Immediately after the inquest to-
morrow night into the death of Chris
tian II. Snavely, Rockville, who was
killed by an auto Saturday night near
that place, Theodore H. Moltz, who
was driving the car at the time, and
who is under $4,000 bail will be given
a preliminary hearing before Squire
Hilton.
Snavely, IL, a son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Christian Snavely, was returning home
with a companion after an errand to
Rockville. They were playing
catch" Snavely muffed the ball, and
darted across the road after it when
the auto cut him down.
The car is owned by William E.
Wilson, 16031a Derry street. 1t was
said to-day that he had been driving
1t but wishing to relieve an irritation
due to an attack of hay fever asked
Moltz to take the car awhile Moltz
had been driving only a few seconds
when the fatality occurred. In the
car besides Moltz and Wilson were
the 1atter's mother and sister, Mrs.
Frank Wilson and Miss Margaret Will
son. According to members of the
auto party the fatality was unavoid-
able, the boy darting unexpectedly
across the road. They assert the car
was proceeding at comparatively
slow rate of speed. Coroner Eckinger
said last night that witnesses he ex-
amined near the place said the car
was going 25 or 80 miles an hour.
AS soon as the party saw what had
happened the car was stopped and
Snavely cut and bleeding placed in
the tonneau. The boy lived during
a quick run to Harrisburg, but died
ten minutes after his admission to the
hospital. He will be buried Wednes-
day. Funeral services will be con-

WIFE WHO LEFT 8
YEARS AGO NAMES
HUSBAND AS HEIR
Lucky MOtorman Says He Paid For
giving Spouse So Weekly
For Support

Although news that he would fall
heir to several thousand dollars from
the estate of his former wife, who
died intestate in Chicago, reached him
yesterday, w. Curtis Chronister, 326
Crescent street, to-day nonchallantly
continued handling the lever on one
of the Harrisburg Traction company's
PaXtang Park cars. It's only getting
back what l paid" said Chronister.
After Mrs. Chronister had left the
home without giving any warning, she
sued for divorce and for maintenance,
and the court directed Chronister to
pay the sum of SO per week. That
was eight years ago. The woman went
West, and Chronister heard nothing of
her since, except that he continued
to send the SO weekly to an address
in Chicago.
After her death, it was discovered
that she was the possessor of a snug
bank account. Inquiries revealed the
fact that she had made no will, so
that the money will revert to her hus-
band. 1t is said that the sum amounts
to about $4,000. Chronister, however,
thinks it will not be so large. He will
forward proofs of his identity and
other papers necessary to Chicago and
hopes to receive a check by return
mail.

Fight Awaits Report
of Minority Members
in Jones Confirmation
By Associated Press

Washington, ID. c., July 20.-With
the Senate still apparently in deadlock
over the confirmation of Thomas J..
Jones. of Chicago. nominated as a
member of the Federal Reserve Board,
renewal of a fight awaited to-day the
report of the minority members of the
banking and currency committee, who
favor his confirmation. Submission of
the report was being delayed pending
receipt of a supplemental statement
from Mr.. Jones in answer to the ma
icrity's adverse report.
Meanwhile administration leaders in
the Senate were as determined as ever
to prevent an immediate vote, in the
hope of winning over some of their
colleagues who oppose Mr.. Jones con-
firmation. Prospects were that a vote
hardly would be reached before the
latter part of the week. Each side
claims to have sufficient votes to carry
its issue The outcome. however, still
is in doubt
President Wilson expects a definite
outcome of the fight and plans to take
up the case of Paul M. Warburg, the
New York banker, With view to his
confirmation. The President has re-
ceived assurances that If compro-
mise can be arrived at on the question
OF the appearance of Mr.. Warburg be-
fore the committee his confirmation
would be assured.
