GILMORE CLAIMS TWO MORE MAJORS Federal League President Has Announced That He Has In-
 duced Two More to Leave Organized Ball-Edward A.

 However all this may be, We pro- pose to organize a team, each member Of which has been in active big-league harness at least Is seasons-some will be able to getl1er together a com pany of young stars which will beat them. Our ''old men may not have all the fire of youth and they may not show the speed of your kids, but when it comes to sluging and brain work and determination we'll show you something
 And They Still Wear the spansles.
 Wiuthout exception, our stars were wearing the spangles last season, and SO far as is known, will be more or Less active in the 1915 campaign. One of them was with the Federal League in 1914 and others will be this year, but we will not become aggravated about that. The Feds insist they have big league, and this is no time or argument about 1t. In this instance to speak of the major leagues means the American National and Federal.
 And now let us select the pitchers. The first. will be Christopher Mathew son, the grand old man of the New York Giants, who will soon begin his 18th 'big-league campaign. Matty join ed the Giants in 1900 and ever since has been their tNiTling star. In fact since the 1914 season ended he has been selected on some aI-American hines. He probably has several years of good work in his fging combination of head and arm and young nine would fear him
 The second pitcher would be that remarkable Ieft-hander, Edward Plank who last fall rounded out 14 pennant hunts with the Athletics Ed die now is a Fed, but he's just as great a southpaw. Earl Moore, the giant cross-f1re artist, is the third se- lection. He began his career with the Cleveland Maps in 1901 and, because of an injury. had to spend a couple of years in the minor later on. Then he returned to the big show as a member of the Fhilles' stiff. and most recently has been with the Buffalo Feds. Otto Hess, who became 8, major league southpa,w in 1902 also won his first games for the Cleveland Maps. Last season he was with the Boston Braves, and Stallings thought so well of him that he would have used him in the final worlds series game against the Athletics had he not feared the play ing-the- gate" cry, which would have been raised had the battle been won by AIacll's men.
 For first catcher our nine would have Charles Dooin, the peppery back stop who spent 13 seasons with the Phillies. He joined the Quakers in 1902, and probably 3n his long and splendid career has caught more games than any other league oackstop. Cherries still is 9 star and because Of his experience. coupled with 2 good arm and aH-arOund phy- sidue, is better than whole crowd of the younger catcI.ayS. Roger RresIa- han, who put on the big-league uni form in Washington in 1900 first was 9 pitcher and then an outfelder, but finally became $ catcher, and is the

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
STOCK DEALINGS BROADER.
Standard Shares Were Under Pressure
 Throughout the Session.

New York, Jan. 15--The stock mar ket made very considerable recovery today from it's inertia of the early part of the week. Dealings were larger and representative shares made little pro- gross, however, and were under pres sure throughout the session. This re- straint was ascribed to foreign sources, which are believed to have renewed their efforts at liquidation.
 Most of the prominent international issues, particularly the trans continent als, the metal stocks and United States Steel, reflected this condition, Canadian Pacific being the only mo- table exception. That stock becanl@ very active in the later trading, rising almost three points from it's early low quotation. Missouri Pacific suddenly became extremely active at a greatel advance on run1ors of substantial f. nancial backing r.

His love for Rose was essentially
selfish in nature. But he pursued it
with the intensity of will common to
narrow natures.
The news of Captain Aliens death
spread through the village. The occu-

there, and little sympathy was wasted
upon the girl.

the old woman mumbled
Only the priest was sincerely dis

taught her many things which he
could have taught only after long la

So the day was set and at last ar
rived. Rose, in her wedding dress,
stood with Terence before the altar.
The village gathered in the parish
church
Il never saw a bride that looked so
pale" whispered one villagers wife
to another.
She's grieving for that black
guard" was the answer.
And so the ceremony began.
Outside there was the sound of a
galloping horseman. 1t was Allen.
He refined in at the church door,
leaped to the ground, all mud-bespat-
tered, and ran UP the aisle. One or
two turned their heads.
Rose" he cried in desperate fear.
They gathered round and tried to
hold him. The words that were to
make Terence and Rose man and wife
trembled on the girls lips. She heard
the tumult and something stayed her
from uttering them.
The captain burst through the
crowd, finging them right and left
like human puppets.
Rose, She's dead and l am a free
mani" he cried. She died yesterday,
and l haven't stopped for bite or a

is true, you've played and lost. and

Terence glared about him, but the
story had touched the hearts of all
so that he saw himself beaten. And
sullenly he made his way through the
throng.
The priest turned to the captain.

begorra there's no reason why

the curse was high one. Neverthe-
less she continued to eyade Terence,
who became half mad with love for
her.
But presently the cause of her shy
ness became obvious. At first it was
only village gossip, but soon 1t became
known universally. The cause was
Capt Roderick Allen, the new master
of Wild Crag manor.
He had been riding past the wood
in which Rose was seated. She sat
there petulantly. having narrowly es-
capped tiresome interview with her
unwelcome sutton. Manners are free
in western Ireland. and when a
young man and maid meet there is
little need OF the formality of an in
PRODUCTION.
A lift of the hat. a bow, and pres
emily the two. much taken with each
other, were chatting as happily as If
they had known each other all their
lives.
Day by day this love affair pro-
crossed. Those stolen interviews were
sweet as honey to both of them. But
gradually. as Captain Allen realized
his dawning love, his manner became
tinged with sadness.
After the first kiss Rose spoke to
him about that.
