DUNN PLANS TO
ERECT NEW PARK
IN BALTIMORE NOW

Baltimore, Nd Feb. Baltimore
will have a new professional baseball
park within the next few months.
Jack Dunn made an official announce
ment to this effect this morning. While
he would not say as much, it is under7
stood that his counsel, Charles H.
Knapp, has recently had several con-
ferences with representatives of the
Baltimore Federals with the result
that it is plain NO agreement can be
reached relative to the lease of the
Feds plant.
Concerning the location of the new
plant, Dunn was rather secretive He
has had several in view for some time,
but did not get an option on amy, due
to the fact that he thought that there
was a possibility of landing the Fed
park It is believed that he will now
get an option at once on one of the
places.
Dunn plans to erect a solid concrete
stand. In view of the fact that the
league season will open during the
latter part of April and that num-
Der of exhibition games are booked
for early in that month some quick
work will be required

JOE JACKSON Is
HIGHEST PRICED OF
ALL BALL PLAYERS

mo baseball player in the world is
worth more than $4,000" remarked
a baseball man recently. There are
few who are worth that
President Charles Comiskey of the
White Sox does not think that way,
for he spent more money for players
last season than any other magnate
is known to have spent before. One
is almost inclined to doubt that he
gave out as much as he did last sea-
ning team. He did it only with the
thought in mind that he would win
the American League championship,
but was sorely disappointed when his
club was ousted from that place
s Comiskey has the distinction Of
having paid more money for players
than any sother owner in the game.
He set the record when he turned over
to Connie Mack of the Athletics $780,
900 for. Eddie Collins, and the sec
ond basernan so far has shown that he
is worth it to the team. But, $50, 900
is small compared to what Joe Jack
son is going to cost him before he
gets through giving players to this
and that club, which was part of the
agreement when Jackson was obtain
ed from the Cleveland team.
Tt has been figured out that jack
son, when everything is arranged, will
cost Comiskey approximately S74,0O0.
This includes the salary paid him To
get the outfie1der from the Cleveland
team the south side magnate had to
pay $4,000 cash. OF this Jackson
was given $4,000 to go to the White
Sox. Four ballpIayers were involved
in the deal. Three of them were Roth,
Klepfer and Chappe11. These three
cost Comiskey $44. OeO. Roth and
KIepfer were turned over to the
Cleveland team, and it. was agreed in
the transaction to send Chappel1
there. but he has not been transferred
yet. He played with Milwaukee last
season and must be secured from that
club before he can go to the Indians.
Conaiskey in return must give Mil
waukee another player, which it is
thought will cost him in. the neigh
borhood of $4,000.
The deal is complicated one and
involved so many players and so
much money that when it is all set
tied Jackson will be the highest
priced player in baseball. Last sea-
son he did not show himself to be
worth $4,000. for he did not bat con-
sistentIy and his work in the field
was anything but spectacular. I'm
less he improves Immensely during
this coming year Comiskey will have
spent a lot of money for a player not
worth it,

notable knockouts begins with Martin
Shaughnessy, a Detroit favorite.a Tom

B. H. S. Five Put In
Very Strenuous Week

This week has been a hard one
for the B. H. S. quintet. Wednesday
afternoon they were beaten by the
New Haven five in a fast and interest
ing game and this afternoon they
played in Winsted.
The fellows spirits are high, how
ever, as they put up such a good game
against New Haven and were only
beaten by three points. Porter star
red until he was taken out to give
Hayes a, chance. In the few minutes
that he was in Hayes did very well.
The locals feel quite proud of the
game and expect to beat New Haven
when they come here. The New Ha-
vens are very fast, and have beaten
several Yale teams. The locals seem
to be having hard luck lately, just as
Porter and Clancy get back INTO form
Marshall became sick and Cato was
injured.

Mccarthy To Coach
Holy Cross Baseball

Worcester, Feb. 5-Thomas F. Nc
CartIy, old-time outfielder and part
ner in outfie1d with Hugh Duffy of
the old Boston Nationals, has been
once more appointed baseball coach
at Holy Cross. Mccarthy has had
the same job before. He coached
HOW Cross in 1897 and 1898, and then
again in 1901 and 1908. According to
his friends, he made a catcher out of
Bill Carrigan and he also had much
to do with developing Jack Barry
when both were students at Holy
Cross.
McCarthys appointment comes asa
surprise to Holy Cross supporters.
The athletic people at the college not
decide to take Mccarthy again until
after they had waited in vain for
Kitty Bransfield and until after they
had done so much waiting they lost
Bill Sweeney, whom Boston College
has signed as coach. Mccarthy has
been scouting for the Braves for the
last couple of seasons, and will be on
the job again this season for them.

Zimmerman To Put
Cotton In Ears To
Avoid Hearing Taunts

Heinie Zimmerman, Cub third
baseman, will not hear the sarcastic
epithets hurled at him this summer
by opposing players if a scheme
planned by Manager Joe mixer mater
ia1izes. Listening to biting remarks
and replying to them has often upset
Zimmer and caused him to play
erraticaIIy1 Tinker hopes to prevent
this hereafter and this is how he ex-
poets to do it:
tt I have been reading Hans Wag-
ner's stories in The Daily News with
a great deal of interest," said Tinker,
land one of them suggested a scheme
to me that, 1 am sure, will help Zin-
norman. I do not think he will have
serious objections when L explain the
value of it.
@'You know, one of Heinie's worst
faults is TO listen to< the opposing
players on the bench and then to re-
tort to their provoking remarks.
These players are ordered by their
managers to ride him to get his goat,
and it does. And when it does he be-
comes ratified, forgets about the ball
game and makes some play that is
costly. I think have found a way
to stop that.
f'Wagner in one of his articles told
Of how certain players are annoyed
by the taunts and gibess of coachers.
He dwe1t on Frank Kil1en and mar
rated how silly chatter unsteadied
him, and then how Connie Mack,
him by having him stuff wads of cot
ton in his ears. That was a bit of
pleasing information to me and am
going to have Zimmerman do it to
cure him of kidding with the coach
ers and opposing players.''

COLLIER TO TAKE
MEDICINE TO PALESTINE
Central Relief Committee Ap-
peaIs to Secretaries Lansing
and Daniels.

After a conference between ,Secree
tary of State Lansing, Secretary of
the Navy Daniels, and Albert Lucas,
Jewish Relief Committee Wednesday
in Washington the United States gov
eminent consented to send medicine
to Palestine on a United States collier
Heartrending appeals having come
from Palestine for medicine and the
Central Relief Committee learning
that there was practically not an
ounce of medicine at any time and
especially that there was no Quinine
in the whole country, the committee
put itself into communication with
Jacob H. Schif, treasurer of the
American Red Cross society to find
means to send a supply. After Mr..
Schiff had arranged with the Ameri-
can Red Cross to send the necessary
medicine and to ship it to Palestine
via Rotterdam, it was learned that it
was impossible to obtain a permit
from the British Ambassador at
Washington to enable the Red Cross
to send relief supplies of any kind
into German territory or that of any
of her Allies.
BY the intervention Of Louis S.
GottIieb, representative of the He
Society of America Mr.. Lansing and
Mr.. Daniels feceived Mr.. Lucas. Mr..
Lucas explained the situation in Pal
estine with reference to the absence
of medical supplies and they consent

COACH JONES OF
YALE PRAYED FOR
HARVARD VICTORY

/ New Haven, Feb. 5.-Tad Jones, the
new Yale football coach, was gradual
ed from the Sheffield Scientific school
in 1908. He was varsity quarterback
for three years, and in his senior year
was captain of the baseball team.
During his time as coach at Exeter,
the latter has not lost 6. single game
to Andover. Jones' class at Yale, was
1908, the same that of his brother,
Howard, who played end and who
coached Ted .Coy's team in 1909
Although weighing considerably over
$50 pounds, Tad is generally consider
ed one of the best quarterbacks Yale
ever had. His reputation as a player
doomed after his sensational play in
that famous 12-to-10 game with
Princeton in the fall of 1907.a
It was in that gruen1ng contest. that
Jones won his fame for the interior
ence and assistance he offered Coy in
making those two spectacular touch
downs in the last half. He was no
less reliable in the 12-to-0 game
against Harvard the week following,
although the strain of the Princeton
battle told severely on both him and
the mighty Ted.
Jones aroused considerable comment.
because of his alleged praying for vic
tory over Harvard in the final foot
ball game of his career at Yale. It
I is said he admitted at a Yale banquet
that he had done some quiet praying
in his room before the Harvard game.
Another version of the praying bust
ness is that he once took to his knees
between the halves. Anyway the
prayer story tsgot OUT and even those
who could not~quite believe it admit
ted that the act was not at all unlike
Tad Jones.
He recovered from the effects of
this adventure, but his first season as
a coach was unproductive of startling
results. He was engaged to coach the
Ohio State eleven for a year. but left
there to guide the football desttnies Of
Phillips Exeter.
With the aid of his wonderful foot
ball instinct he\ reassem bled a run
down football machine, and in 1914
saw his team beat Phillips Andover
by the score Of 70 to z. 1t was alleged
at the time that Andover's touchdown
was due to the fact that jones' prayer
was interrupted for c1ose/to three sec
onds.
Jones was one of the most sought
college baseball players in the history
of the game. He caught for the Yale
nine, and received an offer from John
McGraw to come to the Giants Chris
ty Mathewson was delegated to secure
his signature to a contract, but Jones
had an aversion for professional ball.
He promised McGraw at the time that
if he ever decided to break into the
big league it would be under him as
his manager.
When Jones assumes active charge
of the Yale squad he will renew grid
iron aequaintances with a number of
young men he had in tow at Exeter
These players are Capt Clinton Black
whose scholastic difficulties would lead
one to believe that he did not amount
to much as a theological. student un-
