AMERICAN BANKERS ARE
ACTIVE IN EUROPE.
Out to Capture Their Share of Finan-
cial Business of the World.

London. April 2-Several big bank
ing firms of America, including J. p.
Morgan SS Co, the National City bank
and the Guaranty Trust company. OF
New York, have well advanced their
arrangements to capture their share
Of the financial business OF the world.
heretofore mOnOpolized by London and
Paris. They have all largely increas-
ed their stats in the European cap
itals and almost every steamer from
London brings American banking ex-
perts, who are to report TO New York
on the conditions in various coUn-
tries.
Among the later arrivals was Joseph
T. Cosby. a foreign exchange man.
ager of the National CITY bank. who
has gone to Madrid with a staff Of four
men to look into the situation in Spain.
The question of exchange will first
occupy their attention, il being the
wish of the New York bankers to
maintain as far as possible a favor
able rate OF exchange between Lon
I don and the various ceRters.
The London manager Of 4 New York
financial house explained that this
wish was due to the fact that the larg-
err American firms are convinced that
London will remain geographically the
| financial center and that as heretofore
most of the big operations will be
carried out here, but that American
| money will be required to successfully
| handle them. For example, should a
South American state REQUIRE money
| the loan win be fioated in London OF
| Paris. but the bidders will be Amer
/ leans who. having most of the spare
| money. will be in n position to com
pete with those European firms which
before the war had a monopoly Of ths
/ business.
! The American banks will also large.
/ ~ handle the business of American
| manufacturing concerns. which have
| factories in England, and which since
! the outbreak of the war have beer
| successful in capturing much of thu
/ manufacturers. One American mCs
ical instrument company which has
| large factory in England, and is en-
larging il, has already secured n BIZ
portion of the foreign trade of German
companies and is shipping pianos [
! all parts of the world.

are declared to be unlikely to prove
of much Importance. The Asbertistas
who are somewhat numerous in Ha-
vana province with a smaller following
in Matanzas, and the Hernandistas are
regarded as a negligible quantity
There is also a possibility that both
may become reconciled to the regular
ticket. The liberal leaders. in any
event, declare the prospects Of the
success of their ticket are bright.
With President Menocal in control
of all the machinery of the govern
ment. having the support of the army,
and himself popular with a good rec
ord of administration, he will not be
easily defeated. There is, however. in
the conservative party an element
which is opposed on principle to re-
election, and what the strength of this
element may be can only be developed
during the course of the campaign. on
the other hand the voting strength of
the liberals is unquestiona15ly great
and will be increa sed by the suDDort
of many Cubans who, without any dis
tinct political Affiliations, or hostility
to the administration, are disposed to
welcome n change.
What the liberals profess to fear is
that they will be denied a fair count
and that the party in power will adopt
the tactics of ballot box stuffing. They
also say that. since the incorporation
| of the old Rural Guard in the regular
army there is grave danger of mill.
| tary terrorism at the polls. Hence
| there is renewed discussion Of the sd
visibility of asking the United State!
government to appoint n commission
| to supervise the registration and vot
| ing as the only means of assuring
| perfectly fair election and obviatinl
| the peril of revolution that might re
/ suit from any suspicion of unfairness
| II is unlikely, however, that this ste
/ will he rpSOrta1 TO for some time n
| least until party passions should he
| come dangerously aroused The politi
| cal campaign will probably not reaC
an acute stage until the period b.
| tween the close of the sugar Crindin

takes place on Nov. /. OF serious po
litical issues there are none. the strug

SIXTEEN YALE PLAYERS
ON THE TRAINING TABLE.
Practice Starts at Field Today-May
Be Changes in Easter Trip Squad.

The training table of the Yale base
ball team starts today and will be
composed of the following: Munson,
Watrous, Walsh, Neville, Bush, Boyle,
Crotty, Armstrong, Farley, Holden.
Shepley, Thomas, Smell, Johnson, Kin
ney and Vaughn. These men, together,
with Garfield, probably will form the
nucleus for the squad which will be
taken on the southern trip during the
vaca tion. This squad is by no means
settled, however, and there may be
several changes.
The squad will start outdoor prac-
tice at Yale field today if the weather
is good. The playing field is rapidly
coming into condition now that the
frost has left the ground and the grass
is quite firm.
The regular practice of the squad
was held in the cage Saturday. The
batteries were given u short workout
and are showing steady improvement
\ half hour was given to fast infield
practice, ard Coach Lauder drilled the
men on the hit-and-run play and other
infield work.
Since outdoor practice is starting so
late this year and the first game with
Amherst is only n week away, the prac-
tiCe will be rather strenuous at first
in order to get the team into shape as
soon as possible,
The freshman baseball squad was
| put through a short practice Satur-
| day in hitting, sliding and infield work
/ The first cut in the squad was made
/ The freshmen give promise of a strong
: team this season.

a good harbor can be established at
small cost The company has had sur
veying parties on the island ali winter
and plans have been prepared for a
railroad and elevators. II is expected
that miners will commence work in the
summer.
The development of a coal mining
industry will be OF great benefit TO
Norway. The high prices which have
prevailed since the outbreak Of war
have compelled the owner to cancel
the services of several coast steamship
lines and to raise freight rates nearly
70 per cent. As these coast lines are
the only means OF communication for
the people living along the long. deep
Norwegian fjOrds there has been much
suffering and q general shortage Of

McGraw Of the Giants has started
swinging the axe in his camp at Mar
lin and has sent Jim Thorpe to Mil
waukee and Jose Rodriguez, the
young Cuban first baseman to New
London of the newly formed Eastern
league. Manager Gene Mccain of the
Planters received the Cuban with open
arms as the youngsIer is considered
a fast player with plenty of ability.
He is rather shy at batting but his
fielding ability is of top notch order.
Rodriguez played at one time with the
Cuban league in Havana and last
season played with a fast semi-pro-
fessional team touring throughout the
country. He is of unusual promise as
a player but is rather small for the
grind of the big circuit.
The career of Jim Thorpe as a major
league athlete is over, perhaps. Nc
GraW has released the famous Sac and
Fox to the Milwaukee team of the
American Association under the OPP
tional agreement, but it is the con-
SenSuS of opinion tina the option will
not be exercised.
The failure to Thorpe to live up to
promise was a disappointment to Nc
Graw. When the Indian reported this
spring he changed his stand at the
plate and hit left-handed. He failed
to work any great improvement, how
ever, and his nemesis of old, the slow
curve, worked just as great havoc with
his batting average as ever. Jim could
not hit the benders with any degree of
success.
