SHORT NOTES FROM
FIELD OF SPORTS

Cincinnati, March 10.-"Old brains
and young brawn"-the same being
the combination that Manager Charles
Herzog will apply to the 1915 Reds
in the expectation of making better
showing than last year.
1t must be said that HerZog's calm
confidence consists of something more
than glimmer. Not many ball clubs,
if any, have been so thoroughly torn
up between seasons as the Reds
present makeup contrasted with that
sorry squad which finished last in
1914.
A score of players have been dis
carded or lost to the club through the
activity of the Feds. Twenty-siX
men, including Herzog, will report at
the spring training camp in Alexan-
dria, La.
Of these, 10 are pitchers. Four
others are catchers. That leaves an
even dozen from which an infield and
outfield must be drawn.
Herzog is very sure that he has
turned the corner with his brigade,
now that he has signed Tommy Leach,
Charley Doom, late of the Phillies,
and Ivy Wingo, the lanky Georgian
who was lost to the Cardinals be-
cause he would not play under Miller
Huggins.
Leach and Doom will fill lack in
the department of experience keenlv
felt last season. Tommy will lead
off in the batting order and Doom,
promises Herzog, will catch most of
the games.
Wingo probably will be played reg
ularly in the outer precincts because
of his steady noodle and ability with
the stick. The club has need of a hit
ting first baseman. Mollowitz will
develop into a corking good man,
Herzog believes, but his batting eye
is lamentably weak.
Herzog will play short again, and
Heine Groh will be at second. The
possession of the third station will be
fought out between Won Kolnitz and
Ivan Olson, the former Nap.
With Tommy Leach and Wingo
backing 'em up regularly in the sub
urbs and with Twombly, Killifer and
Griffith alternating, the outfield real
thing akin to hope.
nave SuCCeeueO Ill Ofle CIllIlS,
says Herzog, "and that is, We'll have
the spirit and We'll have young fell
lows who aren't averse to taking ad-
vice from players older in the game"
Of the young blood, which comes to
the Reds practically untested, one of
the most promising samples is c. r.
Brown, from the Southern Associa-
ton. He led that organization last
season.
knight, from Ogden, also a pitcher,
is rated steady youngster.
Griffith, who played with Indianap-
oils, in the American Association, last
wear. is a good hitter, as also is
Sheehan, contributed by Terre Haute.
OF course the Reds need more
material of class. Douglass,
Schneider, Ames and Lear are being
looked to as the chief performers.
Sayre, an eastern college prospect,
comes with a brightly FURNISHED rep
utation. 1t looks as though Rube
Benton would be traded for Wingo,

Today's Oddpst Story

Saginaw, Mich, March 1O.-A live
ly scrap for the office of justice of
the peace, with an armless man and
one with a leg missing, as the can
didates, has developed here to enliven
the spring election.
Justice Arthur Clemens, who lost
both his arms in mine accident sew

His opponent is George Sonsmith, who
has but one leg, the other having
been severed at the hip in a railroad

Coppers Getting Together.

Oficial announcement that tIe
Kennecott Copper Corporation would
purchase certain shares of the Braden
Copper Company and would probably
agree to buy other Braden shares on
equal terms did not have much effect
on the stocks of either company on
the Curb. the news having been dis
counted, TO a large extent. At the
same time IL was circums tantally re-
ported that the Guggenheim Explora-
tion Company would be liquidated and
that the Kennecott company would
take over from it the 404,504 { a ma
jority) shares of Utah Copper that 1t
holds. A report that the GuggeLheim
company's holdings of Shelters, Rag
Consolidated and Chino would be dis
trbuted to the stockholders was made
an excuse in the stock market for sell
ing those stocks, on the theory Aat
the floating supply of them would be
largely increased. When last report
ed the holdings of the Guggenheim
Exploration Company Of the stocks
named were as follows: Shelters
common, $1,000 shares; Ray Consoli-
dated, $4,000; Chino, 1880 shares

625 shares of Yukon Gold, which, 1t Is
said will also be distributed to the
stockholders. The company sold IS

excess Of zeal on the part of some'of

been some extravagant statements or

Kimberley diamond mines, and there

As it was, official denial was swift.

GOVERNMENT BONDS.
PRICES NO CHECK TO
DEMAND FOR STEEL
Doubt as to Filling Regular
Needs of Home Trade.

According to steel trade publications
il has been found impossible to keep
demand for finished products in control
through advancing prices. The pig iron
market Is also very strong. With the
great foreign orders there Is question
how regular domestic needs in steel can
be Accommodated.
"The Iron Age" says:
conservative men in the trade who
thought two months ago 70 hold de-
mand in check BY asking sharp ad-
vsnces have given up effort on that
line. The last week mas shown un-
mistakable signs of a steel market
that has cut loose. Pig iron, with
somewhat less reason, is following the
course of steel. In a situation without
any precedent the usual dangers OF
high prices are being ignored. IL should
not be forgotten that buying in building
and various other lines is not forced
by war necessity.
Building of new steel capacity Is be-
ing pushed in every direction, and each
week brings announcements OF new uh-
dertakings by the Steel Corporation
and independent companies. The steel
industry is compelled TO add to its own
embarrassments by the steel II IS re-
quirng for new work. =. -,
"The Iron Trade Review VIII say:
Shutting off quotations on steel
products for export oy various pro-
ducers is reflective Of the extraordinary
expedents which makers have been
forced to put into play to protect them
mands Of the present market. Conges.
ton of the mills has reaened the point
where Il is a serious problem, with the
unprecedented foreign tonnage, how the
nasds of the regular domestic trade
can be accommodated during the next
three or six months.
"Railroad buying of cars and loco
natives remains brisk. The pig iron
market is very strong, with an advanc-
ing tendency, and sales are liberal in
sll districts"

ROCK ISLAND GAINS
ON FREIGHT EARNINGS
Operating Revenue for Twelve
Months S2,272,047 Increase.

The annual report of the Chicago,
Rex Island & Pacific Railway Company
for the year ended June so last, made
by the receivers, shows that total op-
Grating revenue for that period was
S70,947,Ss9, an increase Of s2,272,O47.
This increase was due entirely TO the
gain Of S3,243,220 in freight earnings,
as all other sources making up gross,
with the exception of the mail depart
ment, suffered decreases.
Operating income advanced only
sS3S.142, owing to the fact that op-
Grating costs were increased to the eX-
tent Of SI,8S5,794, the greatest increase
being in the maintenance of equipment
department. The deficit for 1915, after
allowing for all charges, was S734,6!6,
compared with surplus of s450,62l the
previous year. The company's balance
Sheet showed a debit balance Of s12,-
500. 1862, against ss,733,81l as of June
80, 1914.
The report says that the increase IN
freight revenues last year was due al
most entirely to the increased move
ment in wheat. During the year Z,2o5,-
72O tons of wheat were moved

More Foreign Selling.

Foreign liquidation Of the standard
shares was again in evidence yester-
dav. and there was good reason for it.
When a foreign holder sells stock here
he gets a balance in dollars. That bal
ance. divided by the price Of sterling
exchange, determines the number oil
mounds he will get for his stock. When
exchange rises he naturally can get
fever pounds with his balance in dol
lars. when il falls he can get more:
Lately exchange has been moving all
in one direction, upward-that 49,
against the foreign seller of stocks.
So there is temptation 70 hasten the
sale of his securities, especially since
the current of the exchange market
seems to have turned definitely in the
direction Of normal prices.
