A rise Of nearly eight points in
Driggs-Seabury Ordnance shares
was perhaps owing to the enthusi-
astic popular discovery of a gun
without which no nation may hope
to be completely prepared. This as
sumption is in no wise weakened by
the circumstance that all but a frac-
ton of the rise was lost before the
close Of the market.

Boston & Maine.-Boston, Sept. 49,
The minority stockholders of the Bos-
ton e. Maine Railroad were given the
right to be heard on a petition TO
intervene in the proceedings affecting
the receivership of that road to-day.
The Federal District Court, which ac-
corded this permission, had previously
refused to allow the fling of the petit
ton. Judge Morton announced that he
would hear the petition on its merits
on October 10. The petition, which
was filed by Asa P. French, as counsel,
seeks to attack the receivership pro-
ceedings, alleging that they were in
spired by "collusive action" on the
part OF the roads directors, who as
scented to the receivership recently.

cause of alarm spread by the collapse
of three private banks last week. Off

Fruit for use in pie or salads or as
stewed fruit can be put up OF canned
without the use of any sugar at all, ac-
cording to the canning specialists Of
the department. They, therefore, adj
wise those who, because Of the high
price Of sugar, have been thinking Of
reducing the amount of fruit they put
up, to ian as much Of their surplus as
possible by the use of boiling water
when sugar strip is beyond their
means. Any fruit, they say, may be
successfully sterilized and retained in
the pack by simply adding boiling
water instead Of the hot sirup. The
use Of sugar, of course, is desirable in
the canning of all kinds of fruits and
makes a better and ready sweetened
product. Moreover, most Of the fruits
when canned in water alone do not re-
tain their natural flavor, texture and
color as well as fruit put up in strip.
Fruit canned without sugar to be used
for sauces or desserts must be sweet

CLAIM SHOWN UP BY OWN LETTER, R. BISLAND DENIES THAT HE TOLD
 ANDREWS HE RECEIVED $35O IN 1915

Oliver Bucknell Andrews, president of the Chattanooga club, has scored, for once, knockout over his critics.
 Southern league circles were on the qui vive yesterday when it became known that Rivington Bisland had written let ter to the Atlanta authorities denying making the statements attributed to him by MT. Andrews regarding his salary in 1915 when with Atlanta.
 It will be remembered that MT. Andrews created three-day sensation in the league by his charge that Bisland alleged he could prove that he was getting $350 from the Atlanta club last year and that consequently he, Andrews, was stuck for the waiver price, as he could not carry Bisland under the present limit. He grew very angry with Charley Frank because he said Frank had represented to him that Bisland was getting $250.

The Veteran ShortstOp Will Be Forty-Two Years Old on February 24 - Still Feels Young
By HONUS WAGNER

For the past eight years my future has been a question in the minds of many people, but not in mine I have had the old age stuff fired at me in print and by word of mouth for eight years, and the "has-been" stuff has not infrequently found it's way into win ter yarns. They have spoken in af- fected tones every year about the patches of grey on my temples. I have often hidded them and remarked that the grey matter showing at the temples was a reflection of the baseball grey matter inside the head. Grey hairs don t mean a lot. I have seen some chaps with little of their hair turned white who could lick a room full of men
 It is not how old a man is, it is how he feels. I will be Az years old by actual fact on February 24 would have been the same age had I re- mained in the coal mine or had I stuck to the barber trade, although as a ton sorial artist might have talked my self into old age, whereas, in base ball I have conserved my strength by not indulging in idle chatter about politics and the weather.
 Just where the notion arises that a man is old at Az I cannot understand. I will enter my forty-third year feel ing as young as I did 10 years ago. have never departed from my regu- lar routine of living To the wild of the woods. the open air, my dogs, my fishing equipment, and quiet and airy environment, I credit the fact that I have been able to carry my extra num- Der of years successfully in baseball. do not confine my pursuit of the airy wilds to the off-season, but have employed the healthfpl early rising habit during the playing season. Broad way never had any charms for me so long as there was fishing smack close to the confines of the big town. A good partner is my joy, but I met with one bitter disappointment one morning when took Claude Hendrix along He kicked about missing his breakfast and said, "Oh, come along and forget it."

square in the eye. Then we rowed ashore, with my fishing trip spoiled.
 My decline from a long run as a 300 or better hitter was taken by many to be due to my advancing years, but such is not the case. Good hit ters have had one or two rough spots in theIr earliest years and I figure that my improvement last season over 1914 shows that my advancing years had nothing to do with it, for, as I have said. strict natural course of outdoor living has preserved me beyond the allotted years allowed a man in my business. Cy Young was 46 when he had to retire, and, barring unforeseen things, 1 have no doubt but that I can do the same. should I feel the inclina- ton to stick that long.
 Plenty of sleep, dressing in warmth and the proper care in eating also are essentials for preservation in such an active vocation as baseball. Ham and eggs appeals to me more than frogs legs the price for your plain home grub, but that "gouty" and fancy stuff Is what makes old men of chaps as young as 42. Muscular pain is Q thing I have never known, aside from what was in flicied by spikes or maybe an overwork- cd arm Rheumatism, aches and colds have been foreign to me, and I guess 1t is because I have found the old grand mother health rules" the best to follow and warmth and proper dressing in sea- son have made me an absentee from sick beds all my life.

Tinker and Hermann
 Bury the Hatchet

When Joe Tinker drifted into the Waldorf-Astoria at the National league meeting about the first person he met was Garry Hermann, whom he had not seen since the baseball war started. It would have been an odd situation with Hermann merely as the chairmon of the national commission and Tinker one of the leaders of the Feds. but it was made doubly so by the fact that Tinker's release as man. ager of the Reds by Hermann was in reality a big boost to the Federal league.
 They looked at each other a moment and then Hermann advanced with out stretched hand and said: "Welcome back, Joe let's forget the past"
 All right, Garry" Tinker replied. You can bet I am glad to get back, but still think we would have licked you if peace had not been made"
 Hermann laughed and immediately introduced Joe to some of the new mag mates since Tinker jumped.

 Wish you would deny em- phatically the reports Mir. Andrews has so willingly circulated. The Chattanooga president is erred about the letter I wrote him. I did not at any time assure him that I could prove my salary was $350 a month in 1915. If Andrews had published the true text of my letter he would have been acting in good faith. The fact that he took 1t upon himself to misinform the newspapers proves conclusively and to my entire satisfaction that his reputation among ball players of the Southern league is not at all exaggerated. He would resort to most anything to gain his point.
