TRACK ATHLETICS
 BOOM AT PITTSBURGH.
Pennsylvania College Will Engage in
 Two Meets With Syracuse.

That athletics are on the boom at the University of Pittsburgh at the present time is shown by the number of contests in different sports ar with the leading universities of the country. It was announced last week that the Pitt track team will take the place of the University of Michigan on the Syracuse indoor track schedule this winter. The meet will be held in March. Pittsburgh promises to have strong team this season. This adds one more important link to the chain of athletic events sched- uled between these two universities. Pitt and Syracuse are also on the pro- framme for an outdoor track contest in Pittsburgh in May. This is a return engagement for Pitts visit to Syracuse last spring. Announcement was made recently of a two-year football ar- rangement between the two rivals, Syracuse being the scene of the first game.
 Football has had a wonderful boom in western Pennsylvania in the last few years, as evidenced by the crowds at the annual Pitt-W. & J. and Pitt State encounters, each of which drew 30. GOO spectators last fall. An even larger turnout is expected when the University of Pennsylvania makes its initial appearance on Forbes field next fall.
 The tennis schedule for the coming year Is still unsettled. Offers for matches have been received from Michigan. Penn, Navy, Yale, Prince ton and several other big universities. Final decisions as to the spring pro- gramme will be made shortly. Mo Ellroy and Gaut, the leading perform CTS on last years team. are not avail able this season, and their places will be hard to fill.
 Lafayette is the next opponent for Captain Lufbic's basketball team, the Eastonians tackling the Pitt five Fri day night. In all probability the Blue and Gold lineup will be the same as that which defeated Yale in the open ing event of the floor season, with Lubic and McMaster at forward, Mat son at center, Hastings and McNulty at guard

JIM coFFEY
 ON DEFENSE
Billy Gibson Thinks the Dublin Giant
 Greatly improved.

Billy Gibson has been at Jim Cef- fey's training camp watching the big Irish heavyweight in his training stunts and coaching Jim in the use of his left as a defensive asset.
 Billy declares that he is more con- fident than ever that his man will be the victor in the fight with Frank Moran at Madison Square Garden next Friday night. "Coffey has the chance of his career right now" said Gibson. Moran is matched to fight Jess Will lard, but that match may never come off. You see. it's a cinch that Coffey would be substituted for Moran in the event of Jim's winning decisively, and that's what he is setting out to do.
 Everybody will agree that Coffey has improved greatly since his first battle with Moran, in which he was the victim of what think was a sort of a f1uke. Mind you, Pm not detract- ing from Moran's victory, but at the same time Coffey had all the better of the encounter until Moran landed that swing. That was practically the only blow that Moran put over up to that time, and I think Coffey was having such an easy time of it that he grew careless.
 He fought an altogether different battle against Gunboat Smith and he'll do the sarae thing to Moran on Friday night"
 Moran is now doubly anxious to re- peat his victory over Coffey, as it will greatly enhance his chances to hold up the promoters of the Moran-Willard fight for more than the ST,5O0 which he has been offered

CALLAHAN IS MASTER
 OF INSIDE BASEBALL
New Manager of Pittsburgh Pirates Attained First Success in Spring field.

u1tas
 James J. Callahan, who succeeds Fred Clarke as manager of the Pitts burgh Pirates. was born in Fitch burg, March IS, 1874. and is accord ingly in his 4znd year. His first base ball experience was acquired as member of the Pepperen team, semi professional He was given a tryout with the Philadelphia Nationals, and
 in 1895 went to the Springfield team
 of the Eastern league as pitcher
 His success was pronounced and in
 the fall of that year he was dra1ted
 both by Pittsburgh and Kansas City.
 In the draw, Pittsburgh lost the man
 who, twenty years later. was to pe-
 come it's manager However, Kansas
 City wasn't to enjoy it's triumph long
 for in 1897 Callahan was acquired by
 the Chicago Nationals and there he remained through 1900.
 In was in 1901 that Callahan went over to the White Sox as a pitcher. His hitting had always been good and the following year he pitched part of the time and played the outfield when not working on the mound. In 1903 he was named manager for Comiskey 8 outfit and played third base. his bat ting average that year being .290.
 A year later-in 1904-Callahan re- signed the managership and in the
 succeeding year jumped organized baseball to take hold of the Logan Squares, an outlaw team. There he remained until 1911, when he returned to the White Sox as outfielder. being named manager in 1912, and holding on until his resignation at the close of 1 the 1914 season.
 Callahan is a master of the art known as inside baseball He is credited with being able to get every ounce of what results are possible to 1 get; and it is said his knowledge of | the game is surpassed by few men in | the national pastime
 One thing that is said about the new pilot is that he possesses the knack
 of installing his own confidence into 1 the men under him. He doesn't know i the meaning of the word quit" and l whenever there is chance worth l fighting for, he is in there fighting While he is opposed to rowdyism and roughneck tactics, he insists upon his players going after everything in sight and loafing is one of the sins that no Callahan player is able to atone for. This being the case, there may be bright things in store for the baseball fans of Pittsburgh.

NATIONAL COMMISSION MEETS
Affairs Pertaining the Adjustment of Baseha War Do Con-
 form With Peace Treaty Discussed comnittee to Set de the Dispute Between Federal and International Leagues Win Meet Wednesday President Gilmore Will Not Guarantee All Contracts or Dispose of All Player

Cfnciunati O., Jan. 3.-The conn nittee appointed at the recent meet ing of the baseball peace conferees here to settle the dispute between the Federal and International leagues will meet here next Wednesday at noon. This decision was reached at meet ing of the members of the national commission here today.
 The committee is composed of Pres ident James A Gilmore of the Fed egal League, President Edward Bar row of the international League, a representative of the Baltimore Fed- eral League club, representative Of the Buffalo Federal League club and the members of the National Baseball Commission. E
 At the meeting here today various matters that have to do with the re- adjustment of baseball affairs to con form with the recent treaty of peace, were discussed informally.
 Waiver Question Laid Over.
 The waiver question in so far as it concerns the Federal League players, was taken up, thoroughly gone into. and then laid over to be decided fin- ally by the joint committee on We'd nesday. In addition to the waiver dispute a number of small matters will be disposed of at that meeting. What these matters are was not di- vulged but one man high in baseball circles said:
 "It is natural that there are a num- Der of details that are bound to con- hict when peace is declared between two bodies. None of these details are of importance other than they must be attended to. The two big ques- tions to come up, of course, will be that of the dispute of the Federal and National Leagues and the waiver question. In so far as the former is concerned I can say very little, but in regard to the waiver question be- Heve this will be decided quickly

There were no grass fires yester-

members Of the police department
bad been instructed to arrest all per-

quite acceptable to the fire depart

Monday and during the week prior

1t is estimated that every time a fire
alarm is sent in it costs the city
about $35, although when there are
accidents In which apparatus is dis

enlarged. 1t is urged, therefore, that
sdue consideration be given before
turning in alarms for fire, although

Present Fleet Good.
Chairman Padgett remarked that
the armor manufacturers had told
the investigating commission last
year that they could produce only 2S,-
600 tons annually.
In urging a great Increase in the
fleet, Admiral Badger said he did not
wish to be understood as saying the
present force was not a thoroughly
efficient one.

good. The only trouble with 1t is
that it's not big enough for possibili-

power will permit us to be. More

Representative Kelly questioned
Admiral Badger as to the net result
of the five-year building program ad-
vocated by President Wilson. He
asked if it actually meant any in

think not, hut later agreed with
statement of Representative Gala
way that under the old two ships a
year program 1t would take eight
years to authorize 16 ships and at
least IL years to build them, as
against eight years under the five
year plan.
Chairman Padgett said the net re-
suit of the capital ship program,
urged by the administration, was to
add six battle cruisers and maintain
the old rat Of building dreadnauKh
Admiral Badger urged, however,
that the Arrangement Of the five-year
program suggested by the general
board, woull produce the ships two
or three years before the administra-

Sunday School Meeting
Will Be Biggest Ever
Held Here.
MR.. HEINZ Is COMING
Chairman of the World s
Sunday School AS
sOciatiOn.

The program Of the Oklahoma Sun.
day school convention. to be held in
Tulsa March $3.50, is rapidly taking
shape. Word was received yesterday
that ii. j. Heinz, pickle magnate,
would be in Tulsa during the entire
session and would deliver several ad-
dresses. Marion Lawrance. general
secretary of the International Sunday
Schoo! association, also has put Tulsa
on his program.
Mr.. Heinz is acknowledged to be
one of the leading Sunday school
workers of the world and his wealth
and influence make him potent fac
tor in the field. He has retired from
his business interests and is spend
ing all his time in the promotion Of
Sunday school upbuilding.
Mr.. Heinz's official title is chair
man of the Worlds Sunday School
association and his time is generally
taken up with this department The
war, however. has made necessary
the pOstponement of most of the ac-
tivities and Mr.. Heinz will give Tulsa
and Oklahoma the benefit of these
spare moments
Mr.. Lawrance is even better known
to theaverage layman, and quota
tion from Marion Lawrance means as
much to sunday school experts as
references to decisions of the United
states supreme court means to the
legal profession. He Is truly the
leading Sunday school man in the
world.
G. II. Nichols, state secretary of
the association, was in Tulsa last
week and expressed the opinion that
there never had been so much in
terest in n state convention as i'm the
coming one. He complimented Tulsa
men on their activities in preparation
for the convention.
