How Been Greanstyn Looked to tn,
Baseman When He Slid to First.

Well, it's all over and the score
was: EVENING JOURNAL Is; Morn
ing News, 10.
Every Evening will be the next
victim. that is, II there is any possible
way to induce them TO come out for
the trimming that is coming to them.
There is very little TO be said about
the game played yesterday. as II was
entirely too one-sided to be even inter
osting. The morning paper boys
made lot of verbal noise for days
previous TO the game. but they were
a subdued bunch OF has-beens after
that first inning. The only thing
they had was the "Ump." and that
really accounts for the runs they
scored. coupled with misplaced conf

Gently joined THE EVENING JOUR-

As this is TO be a perfectly truth

OF the Market street newspaper boys
before the game that they would be

start in the box for the Morning News
and through courtesy or poor man
agement he was allowed to finish the
inning. but FOR the showers for him
after that. THE EVENING JOURNAL
piled up eigh runs on Address in the
initial inning. Gallagher succeeded
him and lasted four innings when he
was sent to the woods. Parker. who
finished the game. got on fairly lucky,
as THE EVENING JOURNAL players
were about tagged out by that time
from running the bases.
All the blame. however. for the de-

One of the funny things about Al
bert Leon Mamaux. the sensational
young twirler OF the Pirates. is his
birthplace. You'd never guess where
he was born, and the truth seems al
most unbelievable. but AL declares
that he made his debut right in Pitts
burgh. other players may have made
good in the city Of their birth, but it
isn't easy to recall such phenom-
enon. He is % years old.
Mamaux first attracted attention
while playing with the nine of Du-
quesne University in 1911. The fol-
lowing year he pitched for a semi
professional outfit in Williamsburg,
Pa. and at the beginning of the 1913
training season he was signed by the
Pirates. but was transferred option
ally to Fort Wayne soon after the sea-
son opened. He twirled only two
games in the Central League. and lost
both of them. whereupon he was sent
to Huntington. in the Ohio state
League. There he won rs and lost 16
games, and in 1914 Fred Clarke recall
ed him to the Pirates. He didn't do
much that year. but in 1915 he was
the twirling sensation Of the season
winning 2l games and losing only
eight II was largely through Ma
maux's good work that the Pirates kept
out Of the cellar, whereas by his help
they almost finished in the first divi-
sion.
II has been alleged that AIS sue
cess last year has gone to his head
but there does not seem TO be much
basis for this accusation. II is not
likely that he will be able TO do as
well this year as he did last. and if
he doesn't his failure will he strictly
according TO precedent. Very few
youths who pull off such sensational
stunts at the beginning of their big
league career last very long. More

WARNING TO BANKERS
Continued from PAGE One)

The board does not share the view fire..
quently expressed of late that further
importations of large amounts of golo
must of necessity prove source of dan
ger or disturbance to this country There
are means of controlling accessions of
gold by proper and voluntary corporation
of the banks or If need be, by legislative
enactment. An important step in this di-
rection would be the anticipation of the
final transfer of reserves contemplated
by the federal re>rve act to become eff
fective on Nov. Is, 1917. This date could
be advanced to February or March, 1917.
Member banks would then be placed on
the permanent basis of their reserve re-
quirements. and fictitious reserves would
then disappear and the banks have a
clearer conception of actual reserve AMI
financial conditions.
I'm these circumstances the board feels
that member banks should adopt policy
of keeping Themselves liquid, of not loan
ing down to the legal limit but of main
tanning an excess of reserves-not with
reserve agents. where their balances are
loaned out and constitute no actual re
| serve. but in their own vaults or prefer
ably with their federal reserve banks
The board believes that at this time
banks should proceed with much caution
! In locking up their funds in long tern,
obligations or in investments which are
short term in form or name, but which
either by contract or through force of cir
cumstances may in the aggregate have to
be renewed until normal conditions re-
turn.
The board does not undertake to
forecast probabilities. or to specify cir
cumstances which may become impor-
tant factors in determining future con-
ditions. It's concern and responsibility
lies primarily with the banking situa-
ton. If. however. our banking insti-
tutions have to intervene because for
eign securities ar, offered faster than
they can be absorbed by investigators
that is. their depositors-an element
would be introduced into the situation
which If not kept under control would

She was followed by Miss fitzpatrick

be done to raise the standard of the NOV

Monday evening at the institute and was
largely attended by the officials OF the

The meeting was called to order by

stated the purpose of the gathering and
said that the faculty at Coburn had felt
for long time that there should be a
higher grade IT pictures shown in the
city, that they now felt the time had
come to do something about it and that
the calling together of the people who
would naturally be interested in the
viewing of higher grade pictures was sug-
gested. The meeting was then organized
by the election of Principal Nelson l.

and Mrs. NJ. W. Bessey as secretary.
Dean Cooper of the woman's division
