We must ascertain what sections Of Detroit,

of telephone users; what districts will un-
dergo a change in their character and what
the nature Of that change will be.

club, has also asked Ball to submit his terms. Carey wants the former Cleveland and Boston Red Sox star to play second base. The Green Sox are on: the hunt for a keystone sacker now that Wally- Hammond has decided to quit baseball and devote his time to coaching the Colgate college nine next season. In addition to this offer, Ball has received a letter from the manager of the Des Moines Western league club asking him to join the team at once As he doesn't care to go so far west, and prefers to work near Bridgeport 1t is likely that he will close with Oner Collins of the New Haven team
 Collins wants Ball to play second regularly and act as sort of a lieutcn- ant to Manager Danny Murphy The diminutive infielder is well versed in the game and would no doubt prove a valuable addition to the Murlins He was recognized as one of the cleanest infielders in the American league while playing with the Cleveland team and later proved to be valuable utility man for the Red Sox.

FULTON-MORRIs NOT CONTENDERS
Neither Would Have Slightest Chance Against the Champion
 Jess Willard

Carl Morris, the hehemoth of Sa- pulpa, burst the Fulton championship bubble with his noble brow at the Give Carlos pair of good sharp ant lers and he'd stop any stag in the Bronx Zoo. He's that adept. He fought a very 'heady' battle.
 After submitting for five rounds to Oklahoma bruiser-not to mention a fusillade of body blows and uppercuts delivered at close quarters-Fulton, with his face puffed his left eye cut struck Morris below the belt and the mastodon -flopped to the resigned floor wincing in pain. Bill Brown. the ref cree, agreed Morris had been fouled. It happened about the middle of the fifth round.
 The defeat, coming as it did on the heels of his clean cut victories over Cowler and Weinert. cost Fulton much prestige. It will be long, hard jour ney for hi nnow over the road to re- habitation.
 Not contenders.
 For the time being at least a bout between him and Willard is out of the question, for last nights setback has consideration temporarily. Indeed Willards position as champion ap- pears more secure today than ever. He probably could take Morris and Full ton, as they fought last night. in the same ring and defeat them.
 There is no question about Fulton's foul. Also there Is no question as to those of Morris After the first round the bout resolved itself into a rough and tumble brawl. Science was cast to the winds except the scientific method by which Morris used his head.
 Warned by Referee.
 On two or three occasions the ref cree warned Morris against putting, but Carfs dome is too valuable an offensive weapon to be out of action. So, back it went into the fray. It was a savage butt, flush on the mouth, that shook Fulton from stem to stern and then, with distress signals flying, he fouled his opponent.
 The outcome of the bout further scrambled the contender crop. It showed that Fulton still has lot to2 learn before he will be a worthy foe

VALE SWIMMERS TO
 COMPETE IN CHICAGO.
Relay Quartette Will Enter in Special
 Race.

The swimming team of Yale univer- sity. which was to have started this week on it's annual western trip, has canceled all engagements on account of the international crisis, but the re- lay quartette will be sent to Chicago for the 400 yard national collegia te relay championship to be held on Sat urday in the pool of the Chicago A. A.
 The men scheduled to compete for the title are Capt. Louis Ferguson, Dave Schalet Richard Mayer and R. Alexander, the four who set a 200 yard worlds record of 1 minute 42 1-5 sec onds a few days ago in the 751 foot Carnegie natatorium. Ferguson, how ever, has been in the infirmary for the past week and there is some doubt of his being in condition for the race. Should he not recover in time his place will be taken by either Thomas or Hopkins. The strongest rivals of the Yale mermen are the representatives of

ROOM FOR poPEsTERs.
How Will Detroit, Cleveland and Ath-
 letics Fare This Season?

Will Guy Morton's arm come back to form? Will Joe Woods wing be kink- .ess? Will Iris Speaker club anywhere near his 1916 mark? If you can an- swer these questions you can dope .he Cleveland Indians. The success or failure of the club depends on what these three men do. And the Tigers the eternal question of the American league. Extensively the strongest team in the country. Defensively-a problem. It is sufficient, to say that if Hughfe Jennings can produce two or three pitchers of the Covaleskie standard, the White Sox, Red Sox and all the rest will have a battle on their hands from the beginning to the end of the season. The Senators have Walter Johnson and a ball park. One pitcher cannot win 35 balls games, and that lets Grif and his entry out. Now for the Athletics. Last year Comics team was a rank outsider and fair subject for baseball bumorists near and far. MT. Mack spoke right up and told the populace that he was expermeinting, tip which was superfiuous for an examination of one or two box scores in which the Athletics figured was sufficient evil dence that something unusual was talk ing place. About the only way to dope the Athletics this spring is through their astute manager, as wise a base bali man as ever stepped on the field. That Connie will have a better team than he had last year is certain, but there is so much room for improvement that if is impossible to judge just how far the improvement will carry them up in the league standing.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
SHORT SELLING IN MARKET
by Further Absence of
 Public Support.

New York. April 5-Liquidation and short selling continued with increased vigor and breadth in the stock market today in. the further absence of public support Heaviness of investment rails was a striking feature. giving rise to reports of recurrence or for eign offerings.
 Greater weakness prevailed among the prominent industrials, including munitions and equipments. where the problems likely to arise from war taxes eccasioned much discussion Adoption by the senate of the war resolution and reduction of the British bank rate favorable factors, according to the general point of view, excrted little or no influence marketwise.
 The inherent strength of the market for investment securities was demon strated by the many bids at h;ga cent bond issue, which was awarded to a powerful banking syndicate It was assumed that these bonds have additional value from the fact that, unlike forthcoming federal issues, they are exempt from taxation.
 A considerable part of today's selling was ascribed to traders who were loath to hold their outstanding contracts over the holiday. This. was balanced, however, by the heavy volume of sl.ort offerings which centered around the more volatile issues.
 United States Steel held it's accCs- toned place as leader, furnishing from 20 to 25 per cent of the total turn over and making net loss of points at 113. Bethlehem Steels were to 5 points lower, with to 4 for others of that group. All the active metals. oils, feathers, papers and utilities were to points lower, with 6 3-4 for Ohio Gas at 132 Is.
 Coalers were most freely offered ot the rails, Reading, Norfolk and West ern. Lehigh Valley and Fries being among the heaviest issues. PAciftcs and grangers also forfeited from 1 to 9 points, with minor western and southern issues. Final prices were only nominally above lowest levels. Total sales amounted to 920, 900 snares.
 Bonds were irregular, but a:nly tower, the international division, how ever, recording no material alteration. Total sales (par value) aggregated A ,550, ,000.
 United States bonds were uncharged On call.

BIG
 FACTOR IN BRAVES
Boston Team Has Bunch of Diamond
 Scrappers.

The Boston Braves have somewhat of a reputation as fighting ball club. The Braves are fighters of the field of play. and in this years campaign they may be counted upon to make it a hot fight for the rag But whatever may be said of those Braves, one thing stands out as an unusual feature.
 nervous energy anchored around sec ond base than any club in the two big leagues.
 With the veteran Johnny Evers on second and that little pepper box. Walter Maranville, at short, it can be truthfuHy said that there is more energy an fighting spirit to the square inch represented by these joint guardians of the keystone cushion that any other club can boast of
 Evers is entering upon his six teerth year in baseball. and he hopes to make 1917 one of the best seasons of his long career Nervous tenn perament on the field of play is a his high strung nerves have helped hin1-in the game this long. although last season a breakdown threatened to put an end to his career.
 Maranville is little cyclone of energy. He is the ranking shortstop- per of his league when it comes to all-aroGnd ability. and like Evers he will fight for a point Ut the drop of d ndL on tne held or play
 If Evers has a good season his presence in the Braves lineup day in and day out will mean much to Boston. IL will also mean much to Maranville. for with Evers on second the little Rabbit is said to play a snappier brand of ball because they work together with machine-yike pre- cisiveness.
 During the winter Evers attended the National league meeting an dat that time he looked to be in good health. He said he had high hopes of a banner year, and if he succeeds in keepink his health all season he may make this his last year in the majors. c. Evers is the last of the grand old Cub infield. He stands alone as a landmark of one of the greatest infield combinations ever gotten together, for Tinker, Chance and Steinfelt have passed.
 Eve-s and Frank Schulte are the only members of the Cub champions of 1908 who played in the memorable game in which Fred Merkle pulled his famous boner in New York by forgetting to touch second. Evers' presence of mind in that game mark ed him as a brainy player and today there is no smarter man in baseball than the little Trojan

NEW AMERICAN LEGION IN
 THREE CANADIAN BATTALIONS
Eiated With President Wilson's Ad- dress skiing for Declaration of State of War.

London, April 5, TAO p. m.-No group of Americans anywhere has greeted with greater enthusiasm President Wilson's address and the senate's ac- ton in declaring state of war be- tween the United States and Germany than the 700 members of the New American legion in the three Canadian battalions encamped near London. They came fired with the ambition, which they feel has been vindicated by Americas action, to overthrow Prussan militarism, and with love of he flag which they believe stands for freedom.
 The majority of these Americans are in battalion which boasts 456 of their Tumber out of a total membership of 7S6 The remainder of the Americans are scattered in the other battalions
