TIN WILL BE SMElTED HERE
by Way Of Canal Instead Of
to England.

The use of Bolivia tin in this
country has always involved a long
transportation of the ore around the
Horn to Liverpool, or sometimes to
Cornwall, from which places, after
reduction, the metal has been shipped
across the ocean again, mostly to
New York, for American distribu-
ton.
But the opening of the Panama
canal has so shortened the journey
from Mollendo, Peru, and from
africa and Antofagasta, Chile-the
chief ports used by landlocked Boz
liyia in her dealings with the outer
world-that they are now less than
half as far from New York than
from the British smelters. Accord
ingly the best economy seems to de-
mand that we bring the Bolivian ore
directly here and do our own smelt-
ing and this we are now about to do,
says the Scientific American.
The largest European firm of tin
smelters has just purchased tract
of some nine acres of land ON the
northern shore of Jamaica bay, the
great basin which some day is to
play such a heavy role in New York's
commercial development. Plans for
tin smelter on this site, which will
be the largest and most modern Of its
kind in the world, are in preparation,
and within a year this will be in
actual operation. When completed
and i'll full swing, it will have an an
nual output of 10000 tons of tin.

QUEER HAPPENINGS
FEATURE 1916 SEASON
Sport Review Reveals Notable Per-
formances.

| The sport review for the year 1916,
just passed into history, will show
| many notable performances on the
| diamond. For the major leagues it
was a year of prosperity eclipsing all
| that had gone before. For the minors
| it was the worst season in many years.
| The record performance of the year
| in baseball was the sensational run
| of victories by the Giants in eptem-
| Der, the squirt ending on September
| 80, when the Boston Braves won the
second game of a double header 8 to
3 after McGrawS team had scored
| 26 oDsecutive victories. The Giants
had made a run of II straight vic
tories in May. An odd feature of the
two spurts was that they failed to
give the Giants a, position better than
fourth place. During the first win
ming streak the Giants set a National
league record in taking every game on
a western trip. In the American lea
que the ST. Louis Brown complied
the longest winning streak, taking IA
games in succession. The Athletics
eQualled the major league record for
consecutive defeats by dropping 20
onsecutive games before they defeat
ed Detroit August 8, when a new re-
cord seemed a certainty.
Unusual pitching performances fea-
tured baseball in the year now passed
Four hitless games We're added to the
record, a number that has been reach
ed only once in ten preceding cam
paigns. The pitchers who achieved
this distinction were Tom Hughes of
the Braves against the Pirates;
George Foster, of the Red SoX, against
the Yankees: Joe Bush of the Ath-
Ietics, against the Irdians. and HUI
bert Leonard of the Red Sox agains
the Browns. hughes set up a re-
markable figure in hitless pitching in
June when he worked 10 and two
third consecutive innings without al
lowing a hit. No less than 10 pitchers
came within one hit of pitching hit
less games. The boxmen who came
50 close and yet failed were Adams of
the Pirates, Groom and Plank of the
Browns. Mcconnell PACKARD, LaVen-
der and Hendrix CO the Cubs, Cicotr
of the White SoN, CooTnbs of the Rob-
ms and Benton of the Giants. Several
slabsters also came into prominence
by pitching both ends of double head
ers, an almost lost art for many years
until Dave Davenport succeeded in
winning two games in one afternoon
late in July Several pitchers tried it
later and a few succeeded. Pitchers
set up a new record in bases balls
in one game early in May. During a
contest between the Athletics and Tig-
ers the Detroit pitchers handed out
u passes and the Philadelphia men
handed out Is.

Charter Oak Wants Place in Bay State
Shortship.

From Hartford Conn., comes the
word that the Charter Oak, and STAFF
ford Springs tracks may be seen in the
Bay State short-ship circuit next sea-
son or a circuit which will replace the
present one. Both of these tracks
would like TO be represented. The
present Bay State circuit is very rocky.
There are several cities down on the
eastern end of the circuit which are
not very hot over the racing. These
may drop out and others take their
places. Some of the tracks on this
end are not faring as we'll rs he pro-
motors had hoped they might, and
there may be attempts to change the
circuit around to better it.
Some of the promoters in Connect
cut would like to see a Valley circuit
with Hartford, Stafford Springs,
Windsor, Springfield Holyoke, North
ampton and Westfeld as possible
members of the circuit. This would
make a circuit in which there would
be long shipments Of horses and one
in which there would me many fine
towns for racing. The Connecticut end
of the circuit could hold up its own
very well. according to the Nutmeg
gers, and there is no doubt that the
Massa chusetts end could do the same.
OF course. Westfeld is in bad at pres
ent because of the failure of the man
ayers of the track to meet obligations
on the final day of racing last season.
but it is thought that the track will
be reinstated again this season under
new management
One thing is certain, and that is that
there will be changes in the Bay State
circuit next season. Things are not
just as they should be in several
places, and the arrangements of these
tracks wish to break away from the
circuit. This will probably be done
at the annual meeting of the circuit,
which will be held in Boston next
month. Changes are coming which
may seriously effect the life of the
seeing this believe that a new lineup
of tracks may mean the salvation of
half-mile racing in this section.
A circuit of the leading tracks in
the valley, according to the ConrActi-
cut horsemen. would be a fine thing.
There would be plenty of interest all
and the steppers could travel
around the entire circuit without dan
ger of injury, from long shipments.
There would be few fanny long jumps.
Then, too the followers of the sport
could easily travel between any two
different meetings on the circuit with
out loss of much time Nutmeggers
believe the idea would prove a banner
one
Whether or not the Valley idea is
taken up, Hartford and Stafford
Springs will probably be in the Bay
State circuit next season. Both places
are hot for half-mile racing. Hart
ford's new half-mile track is consid-
cred ideal by the management, and it
is thought that week of Bay State
racing would be a profitable one.
Hartford would like to get the week
preceding or following the Windsor

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS DEPRESSED.
Extended Short Covering Caused
Nominal Rallies at the Close.

New York, Jan. 5.-The market was
again subjected almost entirely to the
caprices of professional traders today,
that faction availing itself of various
DEVELOPMENTS and complications to de-
press prices of leading stocks from
three to six points Extensive short
covering contributed to irregular and
for the most part nominal rallies at
the close.

than three successive, declines and

a net loss of I 1-2- Steel again fur

Increased firmness in sterling and a
further shading of marks were the only
changes recorded in foreign remit
tances. Domestic money rates were
unaltered, with a very light inquiry
over the week end. Forecasts point
to another large local gain of cash,
mainly on the inflow from interior

BIG STADIUM WANTED
BY PENNSYLVANIA
Most Big Colleges Have Vast Amnhi-
theatres.

One of the convincing proofs of the
popularity of college athletics is the
number of huge stadiums that have
been put up or are in the process of
construction at the present time. Most
of the big eastern colleges possess
certain that Pennsylvania will replace
the stands on Franklin Field by a
modern Enclosure.
I'm former years" says a Quaker
graduate, Pennsylvania was a leader
in the stadium movement Pennsyl-
vania was the first college to erect
permanent stands and invite the COL
lege world to hold its agmees and ath-
letic events on Franklin Field In re-
cent years, however Harvard with
its stadium; Yale and the giant bowl;
Syracuse, Princeton and other col
Ieges have surpassed Pennsylvania in
building a. home for athletic feats."
1t is only a question of time when
Columbia will have to construct sta
dunn to replace South FieIH. In fact,
plans have been made Cor several
years for the building of a stadium
on the banks of the Hudson near
116th street. These have never been
carried out because of a lack of
funds.
South Field is probably the poorest
athletic field in the east. Il is almost
impossible for two athletic teams to
practice on it at the same time. When
football was restored, soccer had to
be dropped because there was no
room to practice. To play baseball
one of the stands has to be taken
down at a goodly expense each year.
after the football season. At the ex-
piration of the fve-year perion, when
Columbia may play Harvard, Yale
Princeton, or any of the big teams,
stadium seems to be assured, as it will
then be needed more than ever.
