CALLAHAN MAY TAKE
 TlNkER,S PLACE.
Expected Pirate Manager Will Go to
 Chicago.

It is being intimated on apparently very good authority that important changes involving the Pittsburgh and
 Chicago National league clubs are
 about to be made.
 These ru1nors are to the effect that
 when the 1917 season begins Jimmy
 Callahan, now manager of the Pirates,
 will be at the helm for the Chicago
 Cubs, and that Joe Tinker, present
 manager of the Cubs, will be without
 8 job.
 It is well known in baseball circles
 that Callahan and Barney Dreyfuss
 almost reached the parting point last
 summer through an act of Callahan's,
 and that Dreyfuss Is pretty certain to be looking for a new manager. It is
 not believed Callahan is on the Pitts
 burgh reserve list, although his con tract is said to call for another year of service in Pittsburgh. u Callahan had fairly good year in Pirates to some extent, but his differ ences With Dreyfuss, it is said. are l sufficient to cause the owner of the
 club to seek Callahan's release. Most men intimate with the affairs or the Pirates believe Fred Clarke will head the team next year. The former
 manager of the Pirates has not said anything in regard to the rumor He repeatedly has stated that he is
 through with the game. He has a large Iarln III Kansas and it takes all his time to look after it.
 Chick Fraser, veteran scout for the Pirates and old-time pitcher also has been mentioned as a probable success sor to Callahan.
 A change such as that suggested
 which would take Callahan back to Chicago probably would be welcomed by Callahan. He is well liked in Chi l cago.
 Probably no more popular man ever led baseball club in that city. And
 man so thoroughly efficient in team
 building as Callahan would be a most welcome figure in the ranks of the
 Cubs. Ca1lahan's family lives in Chi
 cago and his home is there. Stockholders of the Cuos are said to be crying loudly over the payroll of the Cubs, and Owner Weeghman is reported to be lending an attentive ear following a year in which Joe Tinker wrecked the Cubs and paid out
 barrel of money for youthful players who have done very little. The stock holders are believed to be making a demand for a slash in Tinker's salary and 1t is thought certain Weeghmar will attempt, to pare some when Tin ker shows up to sign the papers again.
 Tinker Is like the average man-he
 wants all the money he can get. Sc it is probable he will raise a rumpus e'lio eliSIi, IL lliHSS can pc adjusted
 1t will be Weeghman's cue to droI Tinker and sign Callahan for the lead
 ership of the club.
 This deal is not expected to be men, toned until the National league magnates gather in New York the second week in December, and then several trades cooked up already are
 expected to be dropped on the public Wilbert Robinson, Miller Huggins | and George Stallings have had theil ears to the ground for a long time and some sensational swaps are likely

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET BROAD, IRREGULAR.
mAnNIA SnON1' Trading Centered Largely Around Low
 Priced Rails.

New York, Oct. 26.-Lil1e the preced- ing sessions of the week, today's ac- live, broad and frequently irregular market derived alsot it's sole initiative from professional sources, public in terest again holding aloof because of impending uncertainties. Trading once more centered largely around sec- ondary and lower priced rails, indus trials and specialties at gains Of one to three points and in some instances more.
 Latest additions to the ranks of prominent and strong rails were Lake Erie and Western, Wheeling and Lake Erie, Chicago Great Western, Texas Pacific, Colorado and Southern and Toledo, St. Louis and Western. Favor ites of the previous day like Rock ls- land and Denver and Rio Grande pre- ferred were relatively heavy, presuma- bly, on profit-takfng.
 Seasoned rails and other representa- tive stocks were subjected to cons1d- erable backing and filling. though dis playing a degree of steadiness in the final hour. The feature of that period, apart from the recurrent activity in sugars, American Can and some of the more remote war descriptions, was Bethlehem Steel. which jumped 27 points to the new record of GAP.
 United States Steel and related stocks fluctuated within one to two point limits, hardenlng on the later covering movement. The most popular equip ments and munitions were under pres sure, but yielded only moderately with motors feathers, Industrial Alcohol and Mexicans.
 Coppers were irregular, except for Utah. which attained a new record with Cuba Cane and Consolidated Gas of Baltimore.
 Miscellaneous issues Of variable strength embraced Sears -Roebuck Pittsburgh Coal, Wells-Farg Express and paper shares. Total sales, 1,260,- 900 shares.
 The greater heaviness of interna- tional war issues, some of which fell to new low records, while others ap- preached their minimums, featured an otherwise strong bond market. Ttotal sales (par value) $8,840 900.
 U. s. bonds were unchanged on call.

Pres. Tener Speaks For Nat. League
Saysthe Organization Handling the McGraw Affair in Its Own and in Proper Way, Replying to Statement ls sued by Ban Johnson-Yale Fall Regatta Postponed Intercollegiate Tennis League Formed

New York, Oct 2s-President John K Tener of the National league Issued a statement here tonight replying to a statement credited to President Ban lB. Johnson of the American league In Milwaukee yesterday in reference to the much-discussed 'tMcGraw incl dent" Johnson IS reported to have criticized the National league for what he considered its failure to rebuke John McGraw, manager of the New York Giants, for his announcement of his players in the game which won Brooklyn the National league pennant.
 "Ln regard to President Johnson's second reference to the McGraw incl dent," reads President Teners state ment, '1t is, like the first, pure bun combe. The National league is ham, ding the McGraw affair in it's own way and in a proper way.
 'tMcGraw's action in leaving the field and his subsequent statement do not constitute a charge against the integrity of the game, and McGraw disavows any such intention.
 If Johnson wants to raise any trou- ble he need not look any further for an opportunity than the statement made by one of the club owners against the umpires in his own league"

MEREDITH MAY QUIT
 LONG DISTANCE RUNNING
Quaker Star Has Not Necessary Time
 to Train.

Ted Meredith holder of the worlds half-mile record. has probably run his last championship race at that dis
 tance.
 The probability of Meredith's steer
 ing away from all races over 600 yards
 in the future has nothing whatever to
 do with his recent defeats in Scandi-
 navia by J. Bolin, the Swedish mid
 dle distance champion. Meredith, ever
 since his triumph in the 500 metre Olympic championship at Stockholm,
 more than four years ago, has had
 no hankering to run the longer dis tances, and except when preparing for the intercollegiate championships he has consistently avoided races over 600 yards when it was possible to do so.
 Of course. Meredith has started in a long race at the indoor meets now and then to please promoters who 1 wanted to have him appear in their specials" but he has never trained
 regularly for the half mile, except when the University of Pennsylvania needed his points in dual meets. or in the intercollegiate championships In the last four years old Penn's point column has been the only factor capa- 1 ble of making. Meredith works hard l in training. as he must. to be fit to run the half. and now that Ted is in 1 eligible to race for the Red and Blue 1 it's but natural to suppose that the | Quaker fliers half-mile days are about done.
 Because of his susceptibility to talk l ing on weight Meredith has always 1 been obliged to undergo a long siege l of rigorous training whenever he 1 sought to travel the half mile at the
 pace he is capable of. This thing was wholly possible for him as a college
 student, but now that he is out in the
 world hustling to make good it is not likely that Ted will be able to ] give IID the necessary time and make
 the other sacrifices necessary for him 1 to reacquire the stamina that enabled
 him to travel the 1880" in better than 1 1 minute and 53 seconds.

Uncle Harry Explains About The Peace RumOrs

There's something very strange
about the war news, these days. said
Joe.
"why. what do you mean?" asked
Uncle Harry
well like this" said Joe. "One day
see big headlines in the paper about
Peace, and the next day l read about
the battle of Verdun and the paper
says it's the greatest battle in history;
and then the very next week the Ger
man and English warships have a big
sea fight. and
And the papers say It is the big
geet sea fight in history added Jimmy
"That doesn't sound much like peace,
does it?"
"These are very interesting and
timely questions you have asked me,
boys" said Uncle Harry, And | don't
wonder you are puzzled at the news.
A land battle lasting weeks and
months, like the Battle of Verdun. and
a sea fight like the one in the North
Sea the other day, certainly do not
seem to indicate peace. and yet it
may be that they do. You know there
is a saying that it is darkest before

mo there are many people who be-
lieve these two great engagements
were started with the hope that they
would bring the war to an end"
DO you mean that some people be-
flieve Germany is trying to force the
Allies to make peace?' asked Joe.
''Yes. that is the opinion of some
military and naval authorities and
others in this country who have been
studying the war very carefully from
the beginning" said Uncle Harry.
do you think Germany wants the
war 10 end now?" asked Jimmy.
Boys" said Uncle Harry. speaking
very slowly and carefully, Il believe
both sides are anxious for peace. The
war has been in progress now, nearly
two years-it started. you know. on
August 2. 1914. The losses in men
killed. wounded and captured-num-
Der several million, on each side;
greater than the losses in any war in
the history of the world. The cost
in money amounts to billions of
dollars Most of this money has been
borrowed by the different Govern
ments-millions of it from the United
States. and these Governments must
pay interest on the money they have
borrowed just the same as father or
would have TO pay interest to the
bank If we borrowed money from it.
The longer the war continues the
more money the countries will have
TO borrow and the more interest they
will have to pay These loans are
called war debts and the Govern
ments must tax their peoples to raise
the money to pay the interest on these
loans. and to pay off the loans them
selves. if possible. The countries, are.
of course, not anxious for their war
debts to grow so big that their peoples
will be overburdened with taxes. That
would mean revolutions-uprisings Of
the people-and still more troubles
for the Gvernments."
Food is getting scarce in the war;
ring countries, isn't it?" asked Joe.
1T is" said Uncle Harry, "and
that is another indication that the
Governments will be glad to make
peace as soon as they can do so with
out sacrificing too much to the en-
emy."
Then there is some likelihood Of
peace coming soon" said Jimmy.
Even if the Governments Of the
warning countries haven't asked for
il ~ added Joe.
That's the situation exactly said
Uncle Harry. THE officials of the
different governments haven't really
asked for peace. but this is what
they have done: They have allowed
the newspaper correspondents tc
send dispatches, principally to the
United States. telling about peace
rumors and suggesting some of the
peace terms that they would accept
The idea back of this plan is tha

each side wants to see what the
papers of the enemy countries say
about the peace rumors Each side
knows that the newspapers of the
other side will reflect, in a measure,
the views Of their governments.
'In other words. these peace
rumors' are what is called 'feelers.'
