whenever they found their common existence
threatened, combined to resist the wholly
selfish, recognizing that a common peril ere
ated a common duty to fight it. So, too, the
selfish members of a tribe who refused to
share the common dangers, forfeiting in
turn the protection of their fellows, could
not survive Must not the same principle

racy, like altrusm, is in itself a handicap In
the forcibe struggle with autocracy. II de-
mocracy is to survive, the democratic coun-
tries must combine to resist the effort of
autocratic Prussia to crush it. Those who
refuse their aid in this resistance may, in
turn, forfeit the protection Of the others
when their own peril arises.
Aloofness from entangling alliances has
lost much Of its merit, both by the decrease
in the protective power of the Atlantic and

BASEBALL LEAGUE NOW
Collegiate Diamond Furnishes Excel
lent Material for Majors.

Baseball in the college ranks. like
that in professional, has become closer
, In the nature of competition each year
since It's adoption. In recent years the
those Of the smaller colleges, have
served as hotbeds from which mater
ial is gathered for professional leagues.
Each spring the major league officials
send their scouts to college diamonds,
hoping to CLEAN young blood for flu
ture development. There scarcely has
been q worlds series in which some
college product did not take an active
part-Jack Barry, Jack Coombs, Ed
die Collins and Christy Mathewson are
excellent examples.
Back in 1868, when Princeton. Har-
ward and Yale first began their i'm
portant series, the national pastime
surely was in its infancy. In that
spring Yale defeated Princeton by the
score of 80 to %, Harvard downed
Yale by the margin of % to II, and
the Crimson conquered the Tigers by
II to s. 1t required eight years Of
play before all of the 'fBig Three"
teams could get their scores down to
single figures. Harvard and Yale in
their series of the first eight years
recorded enough runs to set scoring
records which never have been brok-
en-.

opening of the series of 1874 between
the rivals marked the recording of
Yale's first victory over the Cambridge
team. In that season Yale won both
games Of the series, and now Harvard
is behind in total triumphs.
Out of the 125 contests staged be-
tween this pair, Yale has romped away

Records show that Yale is leading
the big Three in point of victories.
Her majority over the Tigers is far
greater than that over the Crimson.
The records stand: Yale SO, Princeton
49, with 3 ties. Harvard has also
taken the majority of the contests
from Princeton by the margin of 46
to AZ and one tie. To date, the New
Haven representatives have recorded
1872 victories, Harvard 107 and Prince
ton 81 in the big games.
The batters of college teams are
known to break up more games by
their hitting than the fielders lose by
weak defense. In observing the out

games one will find that, as rule, it's

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET MODERATELY ACTIVE
Early Gains Melted Away on Renewal
of Bearish Operations

New York, May 12-Securities OF
all classes displayed marked stability
during the greater part of today s
moderately active session, but fell
compartment of unconfirmed rumors
of a disquieting character. Early
gains of one to two points in standard
shares and as much as to in the
specialties, melted away, the decline
being accelerated by a renewal OF
bearish operations.
The international situation was the
one governing factor throughout, the
list giving it's first manifestation of
strength on announcement that Wash
ington had formulated a definite policy
respecting the sinking of the Lusi-
tania. The trading element evident
ly chose to interpret this favorably
and proceeded to buy, concentrating
it's efforts mainly about United States
Steel. The movement in this stock de-
rived additional impetus from reports
that the steel corporation had received
large orders for unfinished material
from companies now filing war con-
tracts.
War specialties were prominent at
the intermittent periods, Bethlehem
Steel, Westinghouse Electric and al
lied shares being freely absorbed at
more or less steady advances. Rail-
road issues of the investment class
were bought, the rise in grangers and
Pacif1cs being based upon excellent
crop prospects. Coppers also were
conspicuous, the entire group moving
upward on a revival of domestic de-
mand for the refined metal.
Routine news embraced the recent
of 100000 gold from France, en-
gagged a week ago by an information
al banking house having close rela-
tinos with the Bank of France Trade
authorities issued conflicting reports
as to the state of the steel and iron in
dustry and exchange on London was
more steady, while francs and lires
were lower.
Investment conditions abroad as
reported by the London market de-
noted hesitation by British investors.
That part of the new Argentine loan
offered by London bankers was closed
with evident success, while an East
Indian loan for a moderate amount
seemed to find little inquiry. Many
future sales indicating recurrence of
foreign selling were recovered in the
local bond market, which was firm
in the main. A feature was the weak
ness of Argentine's SIS, which declin-
ed 13 points. Total sales, par value,
aggregated S3,190,00O.
United States bonds were unchang-
ed on call.

a timely hit that decides a contest.
This, of course, is due to the inexper-
fence Of college pitchers. In accord
ance with this argument only two no
hit games can be found in the records
of the contests played by Yale, Har-
ward and Princeton since 1868.
The coming series between the above
mentioned marks a new epoch in col
lege baseball, for the big Three has
taken upon itself to conf1ne the Amer
lean collegiate baseball title to these
three institutions.
Yale, Harvard and Princeton will
play each other three games. regard
less of the outcome of the first two.
This makes a triangular series of nine
games. Hitherto Harvard and Prince
ton have played each other only one
game, while Yale has had to play two
and sometimes three games with each.
AS the case proved last year, in the
event that each of the three teams de-
feats one of its opponents and loses to
the other, the championship can not be
definitely determined under the old
system. The new arrangement has a
percentage basis of games won and
lost, therefore avoiding this difficulty.
The championship will open at Cam
bridge between Harvard and Princeton
May %. On the following week the
Tigers will invade New Haven for a
conflict with the Bulldog. The fol-
lowing is the dist of games for the COL
legt championship:

DO|NCS IN THE AUTO WORLD
Larger Jtney Buses Motor Truck Chassis Replacing
Small Touring Cars-Auto Designer Difficult Task
Location of Spark Plug in Cylinder Has Great Deal to
Do With the Amount of Power

Larger Jttney 'busses on motortruck
chassis are rapidly replacing the small
touring cars and secondhand automo-
plies which pioneered in that field The
present impetus to bus transportation
has brought about the use of quanti-
ties of these greater capacitp buses
Tor work in congested districts cross
town service in residence and factory
sections and in extension lines where
the street railways do not go.
The Overlooking and overworking of
small touring cars in order to make
them pay In passenger transportation
VIII stop as soon as bus owners and
operators come to realize the great de-
terioration of these cars, and the ex-
pense of keeping them continuously in
work for which they were not de-
signed.
The difficulty heretofore has been
that Few motor trucks were adaptable
Tor passenger work. They had neither
which are almost imperative for work
of this nature
One of the first features which will
appeal to both bus operators and their
patrons is the silent, smooth running
worTn-d drive. While the jitney was an
innovation, the public was willing to
ride in vehicles of almost any sort, but
as the business grows older the pa
irons are gradually becoming more
particular as to the service rendered.
IL ILe JIlIleN operators cannot give
the public genuine service the rapid
spread of the enterprise will be
checked
For successful bus operation the
owner must secure a vehicle which is
heavy enough to be sturdy and power
full without being cun'b or I'M
wieldy. At the same time it must be
light enough to be speedy and econom-
ical. For remunerative service the last
IS an absolute essential. We believe
that the one and a half ton vehicle
meets these requirements in every re-
spect.
While a touring car can go slightly
further on a gallon of gasoline than
one and half ton truck, the truck
can carry from three to five times as
many passengers in a single load
Moreover, the truck is built for the
heavier work, while the touring car
is not. No matter what kind of a BODY
may be placed on a touring car chassis
whether it will seat five, ten or even
twenty, the heavier the load the great
er and more rapid the deterioration of
the car will be.
