LOST MEN WERE
WELL-KNOWN HERE.


The above special, received by The
Journal yesterday, was the first def
mite information here concerning the
loss of the smack, Nettie Franklin,
owned by the Saunders Fish COM
pany, of this city. This vessel was
one of the largest operated out from
Pensacola, and was in command of
Captain Joe" Caminetti, one of the
best-known of the deep-sea fishermen
engaged out of Pensacola.
Galliotto, the man mentioned in the
above, resided at No. 312 West Main
street, where he had a wife and thres
children. The Journals special was
the first definite information about
the loss of her husband.
The other man, Salvatore Brocato,
resided on North Thirteenth avenue,
having wife and child there. re
married Miss Farine, and she was
/ told by a friend of the family soon
after it was known for a certainty
that her husband had been lost.
Funds were wired the eight sur
viving members of the Nettie
Franklin's crew yesterday by the
Saunders company, and they arrriv-
ed in Pensacola last night. There
were ten men aboard, and as the firm
was notified that eight are at st. An
drews, transportation for that num-
Der was sent by wire. There is con-
siderable anxiety to learn from the
survivors just what thei oerience
with the hurricane, as the smation
thus far is indefinite, anG does not
say whether the vessel had foundered,
or whether the crew rescued were in
boats when the steamer International
showed up and rescued them.
MORE SMACKS UNREPoRTED.
Up to last night, there was total
of sixteen fishing smacks yet unre-
ported, and while some of them are
thought to have been off Tampa,
where the hurricanes force was not
felt to any extent, there are others
thought to have been fishing near CAL
weston, or across" as the fishermen
refer to it, and possibly some distance
from the path Of the hurricane.
The firm of Saunders & Company
last evening reported the following
smacks at sea: Frances Silva, Maud
Silva, Dorothy, Mary E. Cooney, Ida
Silva, Favorite, Ruth A. Welles,
Kwasind, Wallace Mcdonald and
Yakima.
The other firm, Warren & Com
pany, reported the smacks Clara v.
Silva, Chicopee, Ariola, Hope, BARGE
Iona and Seminole.
The fact that the vessels were at
sea, however, does not necessarily
mean that they were in the path of
the hurricane, nor is it an indication
that they were damaged in the least,
but there will be much relief shown
when they reach port.

MISTAKE CAUSES WESTERN TIE.
Minnesota Sub Back Got Signals
Mixed and Scored Lone Touchdown
Against Illinois.

When Minnesota scored against H.
linois few weeks ago, and thus man.
aged to wind up in a tie for the con-
ference football title, it was a hith-
erto unknown halfback who crossed
the line for a touchdown. Bierman
the Gopher captain, had been laid up
with an injured side and, at the last
moment. Coach Williams decided to
give SpraflIa a chance.
This youth had broken all strength
tests at Minnesota and had shown
some ability as a scrub end. But
Williams believed he had the goods
as a helfback. So while the Mime
sofa team was going down to Urbana,
Ill, that Saturday morning, Williams
took Sprafka aside and coached him
Sprafka knew about his position was
what he learned on the train the
morning of the game.
When he appeared on the field ev-
erybOdy asked who he was. There was
considerable difficulty getting his
name correct and the telegraph oper-
atOrs cOuld scarcely send it. Sprafka
made some brilliant slides off tackle
and during the early part of the game
surprised even his own mates by his
splendid work.
Finally, when Minnesota advanced
to the Illinois 2S-yard line Quarter
back Long of the Gothers called out q
signal and the visitors made two rap
id shifts. Judging from appearances
some sort of a play was to be shot at
Illinois's right wing. This was the
case. Minnesota's back field lunged
off the Illinois right tackle Every
body piled up there with a single ex-
cePtion. This was Mr.. Sprafka, who
was charging around Illinois's left end
with the nall under his arm. Sprafka's
long legs were working like q piston
rod, and, as the tacklers got after him
he simply beat them down or lodged
them with awkward stride. Finally
only Clark stood in his path. Spraf-
ka literally ran over him and scored
the touchdown. Illinois scored later
and the game ended, 6 to 6.
Two weeks later several men were
interviewing Assistant Coach Sig
Harris of the Gophers. Sprafkas name
came up and Harris agreed that he
was find and a conner. But wasn't
that run of his at Illinois a peach ?'
said one. Yes" exclaimed another,
but wasn't it funny he went around
left end alone?' Then it was that
Harris admitted that Sprafka had mis-
taken the signal. Instead of going
with his interference he had cut out
the other way, and, by his mistake.
had given Minnesota a clean record
and an equal claim to the big o.
title.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
STANDARD STOCKS DULL.
Wall Street Regards Main Points OF
Presidents Message with Disfavor.

New York, Dec. If the course of
today's stock market may be accepted
as a criterion, Wall Street and the
financial community as a whole re-
earded some of the main points of the
PRESIDENTS message to congress with
disfavor Standard stocks, which were
dull but steady in the forenoon and
became more active and stronger on

ably were no small factor.

JOHNSTON RISES TO TOP
RANK IN TENNIS.
Californian Played Sensational
Throughout Season.

The rise of William NJ. Johnston to
the topmost ranking among American
tennis players had been little short
of phenomenal. The National Cham
piOn's name was not found in the list
of the first ten players four years ago.
Johnston gained his first brackets at
the end of the 1913 season when he
was placed fourth, with Mclaughlin,
Williams and Clothier ranked ahead
of him.
Last year Johnston dropped to sixth,
Behr and Murray being ranked in
front of the Californian in addition
to the trio which led him the previous
season. His feat in leaping to the
top of the list this year was due al
most entirely to Johnston's sensation
al play in the National Championship
tournament. Since This tourney is
the supreme test of the tennis season
there can be little, if any, grounds for
fault finding with the decision of the
ranking committee.
