ATHLETES
 MAKE SPLENDID RECORD
Loomis, Simpson, Murray, Meredith and Ward Won Events in Sweden.

The showing of the American five man track and field team in the re- cent meets held throughout Scandina- via demonstrated that the United States athlete is still able to compete successfully against the leading per- formers of Europe. During the con- tests abroad the team selected by the amateur athletic union took part in seven meets entering one or more men in 49 events. Without single exception the American athletes fin ished among the first three.
 Fred Murray of the Olympia club events including hurdles, sprints, jumps and shot put in addition to running on the relay team and his record shows that he won three tirsts six seconds and three thirds. Joe Loomis of the Chicago athletic asso- citation, specialized in the sprints and jumps, winning five firsts, one sec ond and one third in seven starts Robert Simpson, ofthe Missouri agri- cultural college track team competed Il times in the hurdles, sprints and broad jumps and was first four times, second four times and third three times. Ted Meredith, formerly of the University of Pennsylvania, started in seven middle distance races, winning two, being second in three and finish ing third in two. Andy Ward, of the Chicago Athletic association started four times and wound up with a rec ord of two frsts, one second and one third. The relaw team, consisting of Loomis, Murray, Simpson and Ward. won every one of the seven races in which it competed. The record of the athletes follows:

FRANK CHANGE TO
 SUCCEED JOE TINKER
As Manager of Chicago Cubs for Next
 Season.

A letter written in the home of Joe Tinker in Chicago and reaching Phil iadelphia told that Frank Chance had been appointed manager of the Chi cago Cubs to succeed Tinker
 The letter was received by Wade Powers, the automobile tire man, from his mother, Mrs. J. A. Powers who left Philadelphia aslt week to visit Mrs. Tinker
 Mrs. Powers is a sister of the moth er-in-law of Tinker, who makes her home with the present manager of the Cubs. That part in the letter relating to the sensa tional change in the man. agement was brief. It merely read:
 Frank Chance has been appointed manager to succeed Joe Tinker. Joe left today on a fishing trip"
 There was no other reference in the note. aI,- -a .@i,a
 This was the first inkIing of such a move. When incredu1ity was express ed, MT. Powers said:
 You can take my words for it that Tinker is out and Chance is the new manager. My mother knows baseball and would never have written what she did unless it were true.
 T presume" he continued, that MT. Weeghman and the other owners of the Cubs told Joe just how things stood and advised hi into go on a fish ing trip, and they would make an off, cia1 announcement of the change dur ing his absence
 Frank Chance was manager of the Cubs in the days when Chicago was a power in the National league.
 He took over the Yankees in 1913

Because of the poor physical con- dftion of Taft. Galt, Bingham, Bald ridge and LeGore. Yale will present largely a second-string eleven against Brown here netx Saturday. The first three named will be unable to play and Baldrtdge and LeGore will be used only for a short time, if they start scrimmaging. The Yale coach- es regard it necessary to rest the regulars in order to insure perfect condition for the Princeton game next Saturday.
 Some comment has been made on the recent statement made by a prom inent Yale coach that the material this season Is not as good as Yale has had for two years. The statement was corroborated by Larry Bankart, the Colgate coach after Saturdays game. With inferior material Yale has been playing better football this fall than fin six or seven years. Phy- sical condition, however, may make 1t impossible for the team to present it's full strength against Brown on Saturday. The match with the Brun- onians will be sacrificed if it is neces- sary to save Yale's strength for the Princeton and Harvard matches of the following Saturdays. Yale is de- veloping the most powerful attack, based on old fashioned football which any recent Eli eleven has shown, and the Brown team will have it's hands full, 1t is felt at Yale, to hold Yale down to two scores.

 Hamilton, N. r. Nov. s.-Colgate authorities were pretty well satisfied with the experiment of numbering players which was tried out. in the Yale game. If nothing occurs to change the views of the officials, the players will keep their respective numbers throughout the rest of the schedule. 7 Following the Yale contest at New Haven last Saturday the Colgate squad rested until election day. The backs, who had returned from Yale in the worst shape, rested one day longer Gillo. the giant fullback, stiu limps the limp that hampered his play at Yale Spencer and Hubbell, less seri- ously damaged, are gradually wearing off their bruises and strains.
 However, all work this week will be light. Rochester. the opponent of the Maroon on the local gridiron next Sat- urday, is not regarded as dangerous Consequently the Bankart pupils will do little more than Timber up and keep their edge for the battle with the Orange of Syracuse on the 18th.
 Strictly secret practice will be the order from now on. New formations will be tried out and the radical faults shown in the game with the Bulldog will receive careful attention. Kick ing, especially, will go through the strictest drill. The faults which caused the heavy penalties against the Maroon at Ne wEaven are expected to be elim- mated before the team goes into any of its remaining games.

Success of Baseball In New England

Eastern league magnates who repre- sent the special investigation commit tee that will name the lineup of the circuit for next season can either make or break the league. If they single out the eight. best cities in the circuit they will have a chance of making a name for themselves. On the otber hand if they select six live wires and two dead sones,a the result like, in former years will. surely be disastrous. -~',i TssG HG5 sf .
 The success of baseball l in the Puritan statey has depended largel upon the cities represented, and the class of baseball served out to the public. When there are two circuits, and each delivered the goods, base ball was a prosperous game for those interested. However, when affairs were allowed to lag and small cities given places in each circuit, the leagues hit the tobbogan and never did come back.
 Not counting Portland, there are nine baseball cities in the New Eng land states for a special committee to select from. In Bridgeport, Wor-

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS STEADY.
United States Steel, Leather and Ma
 rines Were Very Active.

New York. Nov. 9.-Regardless of political conditions, Wall Street, or at least the most Venturesome members of that community, continued today to manifest their belief in basic and in trinsic conditions by free and conf1- dent buying of stocks. especially in- duStrialS, equipments of the Sem1-War variety and coppers.
 Rails were relatively backward and sluggish and motors suffered from the same restraints so long observed Tn that particular group. The movement as a whole was obviously of profes- sional origin, public interest holding aloof in view of possible contin- gencies.
 Many new high records were made, dhief among these being Central Leath- er,| which rose Il 3-4 points to 119, Lackawanna Steel 5 1-2i to, .96 3-4, American Writing. Paper preferred s 3-S to 57 1-2, International Paper to 70. Union Bag and Paper (new lssue) 3 to 107. American Locomotive 5 1-4 to 9S IA, and Allis Chalmers prefer red to 92 In addition, Sears Roe buck and the several issues of the Gulf States Steel Company registered new maximums.
 Over one-third of the total tur>~ver of about 100000 shares was contrib uted by United States Steel, Leather and the marines. the first named alone active issues included Republic Iron, Crucible Steel Pressed Steel Car, American Car and the sugars.
 Coppers as a whole were prominent throughout, but gains were compara- lively small, despite the brilliant statements submitted by the Utah and Ohio companies and another sharp rise in the refined metal to 30 1-2 cents, with a premium on this price for immediate delivery. Estimates for Steel earnings for the current quarter, popularly placed at an un- precedented volume. accounted for the strength of that issue in the face of bear pressure.
 Dealings in bonds were moderate and lacking in feature, except for the strength of Lackawanna Steel fives and United States Steel sinking fundB.
 U. s. bonds were unchanged on call.

} WHAT IS DOING IN THE AUTO WORLD

A standard test for car performance is recognizedS need among motorists and in the automobile industry. Many tests are made in the course of sea- son, hill climbing, acceleration, fuel economy, but even where perform ances are remarkable they fail to re- ceive the full credit to which they are entitled because of lack of checking up in accordance with an accepted standard This standard the Society of Automobile. Engineers purposes to provide. At the recent meeting of the society at Washington the progress re- ported on the work makes it practical Iy certain that the standard will be ready for use next season. The rules will cover every detail for accurately measuring the performance of car. The first two recommendations made by the committee in charge of the work are:
 1. The entire test shall be made
 upon an automobile speedway or other course surface with wood, block, con- crete asphalt or an equivalent mater ial. Such speedway or course must
 have been approved for this purpose by the council of the Society of Auto
 mobile Engineers or an agent author ized by it.
 2. The entire test shall be conduct ed by a competent and impartial ref cree approved by the council of the 1 Society of Automobile Engineers. This
 
 the test and he shall select such as- sistants as he may deem necessary. The referee shall certify to the re- suits of the test before notary pub l lie, who shall affix his seal thereto.

This is one of the big facts which you must learn and put the knowledge into operation as soon as possible so that you may receive the benefit of a minimum up-keep cost and realize the freedom from excessive re- pair bills dueoto fabrication neglect. You have received an oiltng chart and instru ctions for the proper lubri- cation of every car and the small efort l required of you to study It will be

report. the original account having been published in The Light Car and Cycle Car of London, England:
 An important item of news is the statement that several big intuition concerns are about to pool their capi- tai to the extent of 20,000,000 pounds ($145, ,99a, ,0G01, and sink their identity in combine. That this will embrace a section of the motor trade is al- most certain, and. as the object is to conlat foreign trade after the war, it's influence upon the motor industry is obvious. It will be suggested that such a pooling of interests will enable the problem of the cheap car with a gigantic output to be tackled as has never before been possible, but so far as we can ascertain at present it does not seem to any appreciable extent to affect the manufacture of light cars, which is likely to be the biggest side of the motor industry after the war. It is early yet ot speculate on the ul- innate result, however, and the scheme will be watched with the greatest in- terest. %7s
 The manufacturers of this country will undoubtedly be faced with some very big problems after the war and it may be that we shall have to Amer icanize our manufacturing methods"
 Probably few outside of the automo- bile trade realize that British South e number of American built machines. Since the war, it has been practical ly impossible to buy foreign cars in British South America, and this has turned the British South American farmer to the popular priced American car, which has done his work so well that 1t Is unlikely that the foreign ex- pensive car will ever regain the pres- tage that 1t once enjoyed.
 Just what this market holds in the future for American Automo~ bile manufacturers Is an unknown fac- tor.
 There are probably three reasons which account for this small number: First, poor roads; second, high cost of gasoline. nearly 75 cents gallon; third, lack of advertising mediums. It is not so many years ago that the familiar cry of 'tget horse" was heard on every side. In a few short years American automobile manufac- turers by newspaper advertising, farm paper advertising, and general pub licity, have educated the general pub lie to the necessity of the modern au- tomobife.
 There is still good deal of this kind of missionary work to be done in British South America, but American automobile manufacturers know what advertising mediums have ac- complished for the automobile in this country, and it is probable that when the time is ripe, they will pursue the same educational campaign in British South America

Noted Trinity Athlete Considering the
 Y. M. c. A. College.

George Brickley, who within the last few seasons. has enjoyed the limelight for one reason or another in the foot ball world. may become student at the Y. M. c. A. College, according to men with their ears pretty close to the ground in the vicinity of the local college. It is understood that Brick ley has made overtures to the Spring field institution and that his applica- ton for matriculation is being given serious thought.
 It will be remembered by football enthusiasts that Brickley raised par ticular cain down at Trinity by play ing on that team after he had been declared ineligible by the other col leges for playing summer baseball. Trinity backed him up and as a re- suit, was cut off the schedule of a number of them. The worst blow came when Trinity was refused the annual game with Wesleyan, which is the equivalent to those colleges of the Harvard and Yale game of the univer- sites interested.
 Brickley is a back. He excells at end running. hitting the line and kick ing in all it's phases. He seems inn previous to injuries. not being forced to call time out during his experience at Trinity. He is at present coaching the Hartford High school football team.

Coach Bob Folwen of the Penn foot ball team said on his arrival in Pril- adelphia that he considered the Pitts bursh eleven are strongest in Amer ica
 q have rIayed a To, of football rny- the Pitt team the best 1916 elecen. and probably as good a machine ss was ever produced. They have il, Jimmy De Hart and Red Hastings two of the best backs I have ever seen. Herrone and Carlson are as1 good Lat- of ends as can be found on any gridiron, while Bob Peck isi an An-E1nerjean center.
 "Tke Penn team was Deatsn by! Pitt. but i1ancther two weeks I wilss have my rnacli:r.e moving so smoohly tlef I don't want to rob Pitt of any glory. They are the best team have ever looked at. but I do think that it should be said that I have labored under great handicaps.
 "Once I get my machine set I will show one of the fastest football teams in the country. Penn's season is not entirely lost. for we yet have to face lafayette. Michigan, Dartmouth, West Virginia, Wesleyan and Cornell. I expect to win four of the five games, and the Red and Blue may yet beat! Dartmouth even if the Green team did outplay the Tigers. I am starting today to rebuilt my back field, and I think that when Penn goes to Cali-l record which will compare favora-l bly, with that of almost any team ini the country, bar Pittsburgh"
 If the Penn team makes good in its final games the football fans through out the country will have a splendid opportunity of comparing the football strength of the East with that of the West. It may be possible for Penn to play two games now stands 1t Is only allowed to play the winner of the dena on New Years day next.
 Andy Smith, the coach of the Uni- versity team, has written asking that. even should his team not win the, championship Penn consider a game with them at Frisco. FoIwell said :I
 engagements can be made so that my eleven can return to Philadelphia by Jan. '. This is the time limit the fac- ulty will allow for the Western trip, and if an extra game is to be played it must be played not later than Jan. 2. Penn will be ready for two hard games with only two days rest by ! that time."
