 They have made all transfer of troops schedule without interfering with civil traffic. to the entire satisfaction of the war department. t' .''1 '9"' "'"a N'sa s~-
 They are handling the same time, without congeston than 3,000000000 more ton miles month than year ago, increase Of 16 per cent.
 They successfully handled the added traffic thrown them by the withdrawal account of the of lake and sea coast vessels
 In spite of this increased business they have increased the general car shortage one third since May l.
 They have increased the practical supply of by 179 GOO through heavier loading quicker repars quicker handling by pooling shipments at lake and seapor thus releasing immediately and by utilizing box that formerly sent to the coast empty.
 They have given preference to coal shipments particularly for the government and its allies.
 Twenty nine per cent more buminous coal handled in April this year than in the same month of 1916.
 Second preference has been given shipments which have increased enormously.
 The grain situation also has been greatly improved There is grain being held at point because of shortage

DARCY WILL TAKE OUT ]. s. CITIZEN
 PAPERS, HE SAYS

Chicago, April 4.-Les Darcy ar rived in Chicago yesterday and ere ated a stir by announcing that he 1n- tends to become a naturalized citizen of the United States, and will take out his first papers within the next few days. In case of need, Darcy declared he would go to the front for the flag at any time.
 'I like the United States, although can't say that the United States has shown any very great liking for me" |" Darcy is quoted as saying, "and at the earliest opportunity 1t is my in tention to become a naturaized citi- zen. When I do this, I will probably make Chicago my home"
 Darcy is on his way to New Orleans to meet Jeff Smith in a 2o-round bou: on April 23.' The Australian took oc- 'casion to dispute Mike Gibbonss claim to the middleweight champion ship.
 My claim to the championship of the world is much stronger than Mikes,'' said Darcy, "and there is nothing I would rather do than get into the ring with Gibbons over the ten-round or the long distance route"

BRANCH RICKEY WILL
 BE VALUABLE ADDITION TO CARDINAL STAFF

Branch Rickey's acquisition by the Cardinals, will be a big help to lacey Jones' ned-by-the-fans plan. Hickey is not only convincing word dispenser, but he is an entirely capa- ble baseball man, writes Ed Wray in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
 As president of the club and a law yer he will not let the Cardinals get the worst of any trades while his judgment of baseball players, which produced Sisler, Lavan, Koob and oth- CTS for the Browns, is second to none in the country.
 No man obtainable in baseball has so many desirable baseball qualities or so thoroughly understands the by- ways of the national games diplomacy. And it is by no means proven that Branch is not a great manager, as we'll.
 If the Organization Committee of the New Cardinals will just suspend the "boy'' stuff, for the, present, and go ahead on the proposition to give the fans a winning baseball team by employing all surplus profits to build up the team, the sale of stock ought to proceed merrily.

SAM ROBIDEAU GOT
 HIS PUGILISTTC START
 WHILE IN THE NAVY

Sam Robideau, the Philadelphia lightweight, was born in Minneapolis just a quarter of century ago to- day, April 4, 1892. Samuel, who is of French descent, entered the United States navy as a kid, and it was while serving as 8 tar that he first made a reputation as a boxer, cleaning up the best boys of his weight and winning the championship of Uncle Sam's naval nghtweights in 1912, when he defeated Billy Shevlin.
 Most of Robideau's naval bouts were fought in Cuba, although he al- so took part in contests in France and at several American ports. When hi5 naval enlistment expired he en- tered the professional ring, and look ed like a conner until he fought Charlie White and was put to sleep in the first round. Last winter Robi- deau scored several victories over good men when he started another campaign, but he proved to- be an easy mark for Jack Britton when he met the welterwetght champion in Cleve- land.

PUTS
 STOP TO DETROIT
 AND GIANTS GAME

Oklahoma City, April 4.-Oklahoma City fans did not see the Giants and Tigers in action yesterday, the teams remaining idle because gale of wind swept the city ball park and country side in cyclonic fashion. The day was fair and the atmosphere well suited to baseball, but the wind made ball play ing an impossibility.
 Besides the raging gale the situation was further aggravated by blinding swirls of sand that swept the field. In starting practice work players soon discovered that at times they could not see the ball at all. Fly balls were carried with the gale at such clip that judging them was practical 1m- possibility. It required but a few min utes for McGraw and Jennings to de- eide that they would not take chance on playing the game.
 Local fandom was rather disap- pointed at losing the chance to see the teams in ac..o,., but Cr'ler the cC1di- tions 1t was a practical in possibility. One member of the club was especially disappointed in seeing the game called off, Jim Thorpe, who makes his home here during the oft season, was anxious to play before the home folk.

Holy Cross Defeats
 Princeton in Baseball

Princeton, N. J., April 4-Princeton was defeated g to here yesterday afternoon by the Holy Cross nine. The Tiger players were keen to take this contest, which may possibly be the last one played by them this year. The decision of the Princeton authorities to discontinue all athletics as soon as war is declared or state of war is said to exist was very vivid in the minds of the Princeton team, which has not won contest this year. Their hopes to win at least one contest were defeated by their own anxiety, how ever, as we'll as by. the heavy hitting of the Holy Cross players.
 Three pitchers were used by Coach Clarke in an effort to check the hard attack of the visiting team, which garnered ten hits in all, but the ef- forts of each were equally futile. Par mele started the game, but he was forced to give way to Savage, who in turn was relieved by Anderson. Gill, who appeared in the box for Holy Cross, was touched up for eight hits, but he kept them we'll scattered.

 TOO CLEVER FOR BLUE RIBBON BOYS
(By wagner.)

They must feed the boys on milk and honey out in Easton, Pa, for the basketball tossers from that hamlet
 who played the Blue Ribbons at Colo nial hall last night were so big they
 were bursting at the seams. They shoved the Ribbons around very care lessly and the sound of somebody dropping to the floor was as frequent las the referees tin whistle, Beef told in the end for Easton won by 31 to "A.
 Schmelke and Smythe, the husky forwards of the Easton team, gave the fans pleasant evening. They ploughed through the Ribbons like a halfback hitting the line. Because of Schmelkes size, Waltef Swenson had nothing but
 succession of bumps. The only way he could stop Schmelke was to hang on and take a ride. Schmelke got five goals and three foul losses while
 Smythe piled up four baskets and three foul goals.
 The Ribbons were weakened by the absence of Stretch Harvey, who in
 jured his leg in recent game It was necessary to use Joe Dreyfuss at cen ter. Norman was not in his usual
 form but Dreyfuss made some good shots. White was also in fine fettle.
 In the first half the Ribbons heN their own and led by 12 to- Il when the
 whistle blew. They, could not stop
 Smythe and Schmelke in the second
 half, however. The lineup:

BILL AINCHMAN OF
 PIRATES DID FINE COMEBACK IN. 1915

Big Bilr' Hinchman,. the slugging outfielder who pulled off a comeback with the Pirates in 1915 after several years in the minors. is 30 years old today. Bill is a Philadelphian by birth, and he says he was born on April 4, 1887. There are those who assert that they knew Bill during the civil war, and he was quite a husky lad then, but such Hbels are not to be credited. Bill says he is 30, and it would take Jess Willard to prove that he's o1de'r'n that. Anyway, he played ball in the Quaker City as kid, and at 16-according to the rec ords,-landed with Ilion in the New York State League.
 He landed in the big show with the Reds in 1905, but was sent to Will Transport after a few games. In 1906 he returned to Cincinnati, was swap ped to Boston, and released to Colum- bus. Cleveland then bought him, and for three years he was in the outfield of that club, but was sent back to the minors with Columbus in 1910. There he remained, serving as manager for couple of seasons, until 1915, when he was given a chance with the Pir- ates. Did he make good? Lcok at the records-.3O7 in 1915 and .315 in 1916. And only 30 years old!

M'AULIFFE ENDS | TRAINING FOR HIS
 BOUT WITH REDDY

YodNg McAuliffe put the finishing touches on his training today for his bout with Battling, Reddy at the Casino tomorrow night. The East Bridgeport boy did some roadwork this morning and spared a few rounds at Levinsky's Stratford camp this afternoon. He is in great condition for the bout.
 Reddy did his last work at Grupp's gymnasium in New York today. HS has been claiming he will beat Mo Auliffe and on his record Reddy's chances look good. He has beaten Young Britt of New Bedford. and gave All Shubert great battle, al- though Shubert received the news paper decision. Tomorrow nights bout is scheduled to go 12 rounds and the affair should be packed with ex- citement.
 The semi-fnal will have Willie Schaefer of New York and Billy Rich- ards of this city as principals. Schaefer Is more experienced than Richards but the latter has made himself solid with local fandom by his victory over MarengO here last month.
 The Columbus Boys club will turn out in force to root for Bud Palmer In his bout with Charley Pitts This 10-round affair will open the show Charley is bit more clever but Pal. mer has a better punch. Terry Lee will referee all bouts.

BROOKLYN POUNDS
 RED S0X BOWMAN
 AND WINS IN l2TA

Peoria, H., April 4-Thirty- one base hits, ranging in length from a puny bunt to a puissant home run blow, were made here yesterday by the Brooklyn Robins and the Boston Red Sox in their eighth engagement, which was taken by the National League champions in the twelfth in- ming. The score was 1 3 to 5.
 The world series'' of the spring now stands again deadlocked, with each club having four victories to it's credit. In Lafayette, Ind, today the ninth game was staged.
 Far more interesting than any of its predecessors was the battle of Peoria, the Illinois town in which Harry Frazee, the president of the worlds champions, was born and wherein he obtained his start in life's struggle as a bell hop. It was the longest contest so far played on the spring jaunt and there was more baseball of divers sorts contained within it than any two of those that preceded.
 Tn the twelfth inning, made des- sperate by their intellectual efforts to keep the Red Sox at bay, the Robins viciously assaulted the pitching offer ings of Carl Mays, the underhand fipper. and rolled up eight runs. It was perhaps the most trying ordeal Mays was ever subjected to. Four teen men faced him, and of these eight hit safely, Cutshaw going to bat twice and making a single each time.
 Mays had relieved Ernie Shore after the third inning, and therefore was the pitching of Sherrod Smith. He the blow-off came. He had one down when Cutshaw and Olson singled. He then hit Chief Meyers, filling the bases. Sherry Smith shot long sim gle to right and Cutshaw and Olson registered, the Indian scampering to third. Fabrique flied out to Walsh in right, Daubert's scratch infieId hit tallfed Meyers. Hi Myers was walk ed. Wheat beat out a hit to short, Daubert scoring. Then Stengel and Cutshaw followed with base hits, Janvrin cut in with an error and Myers scored the last of the eight runs with hit to right.
 Aside from the vigorous stick work of the Robins the feature of the game was the pitching of Sherrod Smth He occupied the hurlinG hill during the last five innings and in that stretch of time held the Bostons to one hit and scoreless.

(By Wagner.)

The worlds champion Boston Red Sox have been told they cannot play an exhibition game with the Colonials of New Haven at Lighthouse Point next Sunday. President Dan Neil of the Eastern League yesterday inform ed Secretary O'Brien of the Red Sox that the league will not consent to the contest.
 The Eastern League is protected by the National Association which gives the Eastern magnates control over this territory No club in or ganized ball can play semi-pro out fit without the consent of the Eastern. The penalty for a violation of this rule is fine of $500.
 Last year the New Haven owners allowed the Colonials upon payment of Owner Collins has evidently decided this is bad policy. President O'Neil was particularly incensed at the atti- tude of the Red Sox in arranging the game without consulting him and ask ing permission when negotiations had been completed.
 Neal Ball has his choice of playing with New Haven or Springfield. Both clubs have made offers for the former Bridgeport manager. New Haven wants the local boy for second base and Springfield needs him for the same position now that Hammond has quit the game.
 Zeke Lehman, who pitched for Lowell in the Eastern league last year, is doing good work for the Giants second team on the trip through the South. He twirled seven innings against Memphis of the South ern league yesterday, allowing only four hits but poor support allowed Memphis to win. It is said Lehman will be farmed to Rochester of the International league as soon as the Giants get home.

Rio Janiero Paper
 Lauds War Message

Rio Janeiro, April 4-President Will sons speech, reproduced in full, in all papers here, has created 8 most profound impression. A Noticia, com menting editorially, says:
 "The United States, through it's president, places it's intervention in the war exclusively on the ground of the interests of humanity and civiliza- tion and consequently repudiates any idea of material compensation. That is sufficient to place in a clear light the nobility of President Wilson's in- tentions, intentions congress will cer- tainly honor by giving it's support to the presidents message"
