Captain Mack V. Thralls, now farm.

the man who put his county on the
map at the State Fair. Asked how
he helped put over the county exhibit
he made a reply TO W. II. Jackson, OF
Maryyille, that tells how TO 10 after

as We could gather In a very short
time-less than q week. The county
papers were liberal with their space,

with the best OF their field, orchard
and garden, all being assembled at

CHANGES SUGGESTED IN COLLEGIATE TRACK ATHLETICS
Officials of Intercclleg ate A. A. Pre- pose Several Amendments at Joint Conference.

New York, Jan 11.-At joint con ference this afternoon of the officials of the Intercollegiate Amateur -Athle- s-c Association of America and the executives and advisory committee of that orsaniZatinn held here today, t was decided to propose several amend rnents 10 the constitution, bylaws and laws of athletic association at it's an r nal convention in this city on May sixth next.
 One of the most substantian changes offered was to increase the number of tt1als iu the broad jump and weight events from three 10 six. but these are 10 be taken in groups of two each Tn the high jump and pole vault the con- restants can have all the tries in sue cession at each height or weight in turn as the rule now allows. In many instsn noes the rules will be amended so a to conform with the rules adopt cd by the international federation. The running track is to be measured 12 inches instead of IS inches from the curb and ali implements are to be i& conformity with the international fei- eration standards. International rules are to govern all relay races.
 Heretofore penalties were inflicted In cases of fouls occurring during the trials or semi -6-Isls of races, but It will be recommended that in future the referee will have the discretionary power of ordering such trial or semi final run over again Another sug&cs tiou is that the starter be given the power to recall q race by firinS he p3Stodl a second time,
 No proposal to prevent freshmen from competing in the championships was made today but intimated that such a proposition might be introduc- ed thirty days before the annual con venticn under existing bylaws.

HARVARD DEFEATED PRINCETON
Crimson Hockey Team Displayed
 Great FoFm-Score to 1.

Fair HarVard-s hockey team van quished the seven from Princteton at the St Nicholas rink, New York by 4 goals to 1 on Saturday night, while crowd of three thousand rabid en- thusiasts cheered, threw hats in the air and waved their flandkercbiefs- the latter demonstration by the ladies
 Although beaten by a. decisive score the boys from old Nassau were far from disgracew, and in the all person of John Bumphries, who played cover point for Princeton, that university has the making of a second 'Bobey'' Baker. Humphries is all that the metaphor implies.
 Harvard won through superior team work ard her men were faster on their skates than their rivals with the glow ing exception of Humpilries and Ctp- tain Peacock. Time and again Prince ton had opportunities to cage the puck but with a. single exception in the sec ond period they either missed by mar row margins or did not have anybody down to assist the man with the rub Der
 Morgan, the fast point for Harvard, made the first score from a scrimmax xe a few minutes after play began This was the only time either team sue ceeded in tallying during the first period, although both sides made fran tic attempts. The play was fast and furious and spills were even more so.
 Humphries electrified the spectators many times by his thrilling dashes down the ice, pIoughing his way through the entire Harvard defence and retaining the puck with wonderful skill. But he was one man against seven and Wylde, the Harvard goal. provered himself a wonder at guarding his cage.

LAST OF WHITE HOPES.
IF Willard Fails to Defeat Johnson There Will Be Nothing to Do but
 

The heavyweight class Will indeed be in a sad state if Jess Willard fails To humble Jack Johnson when they meet in the spring. Willard is the last of the white hopes. If he is eliminat- ed there will be nothing to do but sit back and wait until some hitherto unknown boxer appears and has had time to gain the necessary experience By that time Johnson may be forced out by old age and so escape meeting his finish in the ring.
 However, if Willard is the last he also appears the best of the lot. Be ginning with Carl Morris, the orig inal hope" none of those who fol- lowed him has looked so promising as the big hansan. In fact. Willard is the first of the whites to be given even an outside chance of avenging Reno.
 Taking them in order of appearance there was Morris, big and game but with nothing else to recommend him. He owed his vogue to the fact that he was a giant. It was thought that only a. man of unusual size would have d chance with Johnson. One glance at his unathletic build should have been enough to convince anyone that he would never do. but it took some time and many beatings before his follow CTS lost faith
 About the time that Morris held sway, Jim Stewart, the Brooklyn heavyweight, was quite prominent Stewart had size enough and was rather clever, but he had a glass jaw. Weak eyeSisht also contributed to his downfall
 Next cze Al PaIzer. another giant Be had great strength and ferocity bUf no headwOrk. Paizer might have gone far on his sggressiveness and EameTleEE had he taken better care of n1s condition. Careless living and lack of training put an early end to his czreeT as a hope

 This must have made JanVrin nerV- ous Besides, the fact that he had been put on the first nine gave him the idea that he simply must make good. When he came East the crowd was wild to see him in action, and his all too evil dent nervousness before the home crowd must have had it's effect.
 Things broke badly for him in Bos- ton and then the crowd began to get on him. But where many a player would have lost his nerve altogether JanYrin never quit. He may have lost his confidence, but the crowd did not scare him, and although the anvil cho- rus kept after him from the bleaclers he never showed any disinclination to get out there and play. Ii was this exhibition of gameness that first drew ms to him. and as the season wore on, and I saw other evidences of his nerve and courage. 1 was for him till the end

The baseball season of 1918 prom ises to establish a new record in the transfer or release of players and the selection of new managers for clubs an both organized and Independent leagues. Although the new year is just gaining headway more than 20 players of prominence have figures in moves upon the chessboard of the na- tio-lal game Among those players to don managerial togs are: Roger Bres- nahan of the Chicago Nationals, Pat Moran of the Philadelphia Nationals, Clarence Rowland of the Chicago Americans Bill Donovan of the New York Americans and Lee Magee of the Brooklyn Federals.
 Trades or cash deals sent Eddie Col lins from the Philadelphia Athletics to the Chicago White Sox; Nap La ioie from the Cleveland Americans to the Athletics: Sherwood Magree from the Philadelphia Nationals to the Bos- ton Braves: Hans Iobert from the Phillfes to the New York Giants; Al Demaree, Jack Adams and Milton Stock from the Giants to the Phillies and Ivy Wingo from the St. Louis to the Cincinnati Nationals. The ultimate destination of Wingo is in doubt since he is understood to have considered Federal league offers. If he joins the independent organization he is likely to meet Plank and Bender, formerly of the Athletics, and several other players who have figured prominently in organized baseball
 Other famous diamond stars who have been released outright or who are in doubt as to the scene of their 1915 activities include: Jack Coonlbs of the Athletics. Kid Gleason of the Chi eago Americans. Herman Schaefer of the Washington Americans, Walter Johnson of the same club, Ray Cald- well of the New York Americans. Rube Marquard of the New York Giants and Charley Dooin of the Philadebplli@, Nationals. The end is not yet in sight however. for if the American. National and Federal leagues all operate under the 21 player plan during the major portion of the season further shifts and reductions may be expected. Not far from TOO players were under con tract to clubs in these leagues last

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
SATURDAYS MARKET ACTIVE.
Standard Stocks Suffered More or Less
 from Realizing Sales.

New York, Jan 16.-Deaings in st ockS during tOday's two-hOur session were more than ordinarily active, but an unusually large proportion of the business. was in shares of the minor or inactive issues. Standard stocks sIf- fered more or less from realizing sales. with some renewal of bear activity United States Steel, Amalgamated Copper, Reading and the transconti- nentaIs which generally supply the bulk Of the trading. were relegated to the background and were disposed to weaken. They steadied at the close, however.
 Gains in the speciajties ranged from one to over three points. some of these stocks advancing on very small trans actions Standard Milling preferred was helped by the announcement of another sharp advance in the price of four and Mexican Petroleum rise was tracea.ble to latest negotiations between this country and Great Britain respect ing the latteT's Mexican oil interests. Missouri Pacific which excited some attention by yesterdays late rise, was less active todaN-on denials of various reorganization rumors. Western Mary land issues especially the preferred stock. made further gains in response to persistent buying. Erie second pre- feTred and Delaware and Hudson also moved upwards.
 Mercantile agencies reported steady trade improvement and increased ac- tivity prevailed a | leading steel centers, sorlc ef the mills in the Pittsburgh dis trict having doubled their production of few weeks ago.

feeting as their patience. In the opin ion of the Red SoX manager, JanVrin, is today one of the greatest players in the American league, and did the Bos- ton club care to make a trade for him it would have but little difficulty.
 'JanVrin is not only a coming great player" adds Carrigan, but he is one of the greatest men in baseball. For two seasons he was handicapped by too much press-agent work. at the be- ginning of his professional career Coming at one step from the school boy ranks into a team where some 40 or more professional players were fighting for a place, the Boston fans were led to expect too much of him right from the start, and for this req son the yOungster was put in bad by those who were anxious to see him succeed.
 "Janvrin paid the penalty of break ing in in his own home town. and only those who have had to undergo this experience can appreciate the difficulty of it. II was in 1911 dur ing our trip to the coast for spring training, that he broke in: and if you can recall if. he played on the second team and gave a fine account of him self.
 Becomes Regular.
 He showed up so well that he was transferred to the regular outfit, and the California papers, taking their cut from the stories that were being sent home by the correspondents to Bos- ton. began to boost like all possessed
