1916 MAY BE SOME
 YEAR FOR SPORTS.
Great Upset Predicted in Coming Ath-
 letic Season.

IetIc Season.
 If the year 1916 is going to be such a wild baby as its immediate prede- cessor. 1915 by name. there are going to be some unseemly and unexpected upsets in the widespread realms of sport during the approaching 13 months. Stretching champions will totter and sure-thing bettors will go bankrupt, and the under dogs of ath- letics will perch on the pyres of ruined hopes.
 Upset Things.
 The year of 1915 has been an ob- streperous one. The baby, when only a few months old, began upsetting things and making good prospects thing in the world of sport during the course of the whole annum, and the followers of the art of muscle making have not yet reSained the boise that was theirs in the ancient and more glorious days.
 If the newly-born babe of time is the same unconventional rascal as his year-old brother, there are going to be some lively happenings in 1916. Cleve- land should win the worlds champion ship in baseball and declare a dividend of 2S per cent. Yale will win the in- Walter Camp will pick II players from the East for his All-AmeriCan team exclusive of coaches. Harvard will pro- duCe q crew that can beat Yale on the Thames. Olin Downes will be the ama- teur tennis champion.
 Writers Will All Agree.
 Bat Nelson will come back and grat the topmost lightweight honors, Ton Jones will spend S1O in a contribution to charity and the New York sporting writers will all agree in a boxing de, cision.
 When the worlds series games arc played in Cleveland and St. Loui. there will not be a whisper of scanda In connection with the ticket distribu. 1 tiOn and the National commission vii turn it's share fthe gate receipts ovel to an orphan asylum. Charley Ebbet: will admite that Brooklyn is out of tht | race previous to Oct. 1.
 Percy D. HaughtOn will agree tI number his football players and Dart mouth will get place on the Harvard football schedule. A block of 50, co, tickets to the Yale Harvard game wiI be sold to the general public, with 1l per cent. off the face price for cash Restaurant keepers in New Haven wil | not raise the prices on their menu at the time of the big football game | All the New York New Haven 6 Hartford trains will be on time.
 Eddie Plank Will Retire. Bennie Kauff will quit giving inter views to newspaper men and Connie l Mack will pay an average of mor' | than S6 each for players. Dave Fult; | and the Players league will enter nt | protest against the slavery and servi ! tude of ball players and Ty Cobb wiI ] quit writing for the newspaper syndi | Cates. Eddie Plank will retire iron | baseball and Jim Thorpe will be abl, ! to hit a curve ball. Heroes of tn, worlds series games will not go int vaudeville.

FRANK HINkEY TELLS
 OF SHEVLIN'S PROWESS
"one of the Whitest, Squarest of
 Men Have Known"

New Haven, Conn, Dec. 29.-Frank Hinkey, head coach of the Yale elev- en, who developed Shevlin into one of the greatst of Yale ends, paid the fol- lowing tribute to his former pupil:
 The news of Tom Shevlins death Is a great shock to me. He was among the greatest players, the best coaches and the finest captains who ever handled the pigslkin for Yale. He had an almost inhuman power of insulting the fighting, do-or-die spirit into lis men. Tom was one of the Whltest, squarest men I have known. There were few in New Haven who knew him as I did and I feel his loss keenly."

The Hopeiessness of Ii All
(From the New York Tribune)

The German government has dis
avowed the Arabic. It viii. we are as
sured, disavow the Hesperian. But
how many more disavowals will it
take to demonstrate that it is in
capable Of restraining its sailors, as
it was its soldiers; that it is impo-
tent in the presence of a need to
moderate its mandate Of murder?
And how much longer will the
American people continue to Judge
Germans, the officials of Germany
by their protestations and by thoir
words? How long will it be before we
too, recognize that civilization ends
on this side of the German firing line
and barbarism lies beyond?
A week ago a whole nation re-
joiced in the prospect Of the end Of
a crisis-not with any thought of a
selfish American victory. but in the
g thought that we, without war, had
won victory for all humanity, for
Germans quite as much as any other
race; that we had in a measure re-
established law and recalled civiliza-
ton to the high seas.
1t would seem, Premature because of
that which the words of the "Vossische
Zeitung" declare quite as much as
that which the Hesperian incident
seems to indicate. Germany will prom
Use to quit murdering-but she will
neither quit nor will she concede that
murder itself is NOT the highest and

FRIENDS OF GERMANY.

rTVHOSE so-cailed Friends Of Peace should be re-
i chrstened Friends of Germany. If the organi-
cation had been formed in Berlin it could not ask the
United States to do in behalf Of the German
cause.
It's onicals have just assembled in Chicago and
nounced for the organization the following aims
Freedom Of the from Englands blockade Of
Germany"
Something that Germany earnestly desires.
Cessation Of the expectation Of munitions by
any means"
Something that Germany earnestly desires
Influencing Congressmen to legisate along the
lines the resolutions adopted by the Friends of Peace
Convention
Something that Germany earnestly desires
"Nonacton with regard to the loyalty Of citizens OF
the United States to the Government of the United
states in event Of with Germany, every member Of
the organization being permitted according his
own Judgment in such case"
Something that Germany earnestly desires.
We wonder if the idea Of forming the organization
originated in the mind OF the German Chancellor or
that of Ambassador Bernstorff?
