 It is possible that the Pl1illies may get a pitcher from the Boston Braves when the Magee deal has been settled, but they will not get any member Of the James-Tyler -Ru dolph trio, which means that they will not get a high grade performer. Connie Mack has his eye on number of youngsters, but, as far as can be ascertained, he has not a veteran in prospect The only chance for the Athletics to get 8 man of experience for the box would be for Chomiskey to open his heart and let Mack have one of his many excellent hurlers. That, how. ever. is unlikely, as the Old Roman is out to win a pennant, and in giving g5a,000 for Eddie Collins he has shown that he does not intend to stop at the+ ordinary limits to reconstruct his team.

Belgium Up -to-date in Electrical
 Matters.

Before the Great War little Belgium was decidedly up-to--the-minute in electrical matters. It is written in the news dispatches that the invading Germans saved the electric light plants whenever they could. At the last available census of 8 few years ago Belgium had 67 central stations. totaning 5000 kiIowatts capacity, supplying 131 communities, and since that date q dozen other important sta tions have been completed, the pres ent total plant capacity approximating 100, 900 kilowatts. Electric lighting and traction developments have had a most important effect; the Interna- tiOnaI Exposition at Ghent last year bore witness to the diversity and the excellence of Belgian electrical manu fracture and to the enterprise of Bel gian central stations in respect of publicity work and the pushing of domestic electrical appliance. Flee tric drive was extensively employed in the textile industry of Belgium. The latest returns showed there were in use at the beginning of 1913, 5200 miles of telegraph lines (carrying 5000 miles of conductors) in addition to 1S6.000 miles of telephone wires. In the field of wireless telegraphy, Bel gium has already attained high stand ing. the powerful station at Lacken (near Brussels) communicating, it is said with Belgian Congo over 375 miles of sea and 3550 miles Of land The most important electrical works were al Iiege

vExEp WITH CAMP.
Washington and Jefferson Players Be- lieve Sorns of His Team Should Have Made American Eleven.

Al Spiegel, halfback on the Wash ington & Jefferson eleven, is much vexed because Walter Camp did not sec fit to honor any of the W. & J. this season. He believes it was an un- reserved slight to team that beat everything 1t played except Harvard and that would have licked the Grim son but for its misfortune in having Britt Paterson. the big tackle disqual- flied early in the game.
 q am not kicking about my being put on the second team said 'SAI', Tt seems to me however, that our eleven, with the record it made, de- served at least one player on the first AIl-American. Paterson was beyond doubt the best Ineman in the country this fall. He has outplayed every man whom he has faced in the last two seasons and hardly a foot of ground has been made through him in that himself, with his great bulk, strength experience and agressiVeness. I can't see why he had to be set back to the second All-American.
 tCruikshank, our captain and cen ter, was the best man in his position whom I have seen in a long time. He was all over the field like an end and in some of the games he made all most every tackle, Walter Camps own son said that he was the mot active and valuable center seen on Yale field in years. Yet he goes back to the third team.
 fLeGore. the Yale fulIoack, was far and away the best football player who opposed Washington & Jefferson this season. He is a, good Hne-bucker, runs well in the open, kicks beautifully and IS a wizard with the forward pass. Just wait until next year and this fel- low will have them all guessing He happened to be on bad team this fall but things ought to be better at New Haven in 1915. Camp wouldn't have strained a point if he had put the Eli Bradlee, who did very little except de- fensive work. so far as I could sec"
 Spiege1 vii return to college in about a week and will receive his de- gree in January He has several at tractive coaching offers and probably will accept one of them next fall Considering the fact that he has been the object of special attention from opposing tacklers for four years, he is in remarkable physical condition, with hardly scar to show for all the bat tering. Get Splegel'' has been the slogan of the other side ever since "AI'' first entered college and he considered himself very lucky that he never was so thoroughly got as to have to take to the hospital.
 Washington & Jefferson fans feel very sore that he was not given a place on Camps first team. but he says that he was very well satisfied to have been chosen by so many eastern critics and to have landed on Camps second team. He believes that the second team could whale the first. by the way, and regrets that it did not have a chance to try.

marauard in Conference.

Rube Marquard of the New ' ork Giants. who recently jumped to the Brooklyn Feds, had a long conference with President Gilmore of the Federal league yesterday. He declared his iR- tention of living up to the contract he signed with the Wards unless a court decides he is the property of the New York club.
 The New York Giants wrote the Brooklyn Federal league club a letter informing it that Marquard was legally bound to the Giants despite the fact that Rube signed an affidavit to the contrary He obtained $1,500 from President R. B. Ward at the time of signing. Mir. Ward wrote to he Giants saying that he would reiinquish | all hold on Rube if they could show any legal contract binding him to the New York National league club That letter has been answered and Mr Ward finally concluded to try and hold the Ieft-handed pitcher.
