LONDON, March 15.-Andrew Bo-
mar Law, chancellor of the eXchequer,
announced in the house of commons
tonight that Emperor Nicholas had
abdicated and that Grand Duke Mi
chael Alexandrovitch had been ap-
pointed regent The soldiers sided
with the Du pha, but there was no ser
ious loss of life The chancellor added
that it was comforting to know that
the movement was not directed at Sc
curing peace by Russia.
A telegram received by the naval
attache of the Russian embassy in
Paris reported that the railways and
public services in Petrograd had re-
sumed work, said Mr.. Bonar Law.
"Only tonight" the chancellor said
"a message had been received from
our ambassador to the effect that q
statement from the duma announced
that the emperor had abdicated and
that Grand Duke Michael Alexandra
witch had been appointed regent,
/ There is ONE comfort for us in the
comparative tranquility with which
this change was conducted. There al
50 is real comfort that all the gov
ernment's information shows that the
movement was not in any sense di-
rected toward an effort to secure peace
by Russia.
"On the contrary the discomfort was
not against the government for car
rying on the war but for not carrying
it on with that efficiency and energ.

Tired of Arbitration

When the managers in their counter
proposal at the final momentous con-
ference offered to abide by any decree
of the Goethals commission if the
Adams9n act were declared uhconsti-
tUtional, w. G.. Lee, president of the
Brotherhood of Railroad -Trainmen,
spokesman for the employees, declared
That would be only another form of
arbitration and our men are sick and
tired of arbitration.
The brotherhood chiefs contend their
demand for the basic eight hour day
for all classes of work, with pro rata
: time for overtime, would give them
only what they would gain under the
provisions Of the Adamson law. They
! have abandoned their original demand
for time and a half for overtime.
, Declaring the rank and file Of the
/ brotherhood membership had become
! impatient and would tolerate no fur
+ ther delay in enforcing their demands
! Mr.. Lee said the supreme court might
| adjourn without handing down a de-
, cision ION the Adamson act. In that
event. he declared, there would be no
. decision until next winter, and the
men would not wait.
Z The managers refusal to comply
with the ultimatum of the brother
hoods was based upon the contention
I that they must await and abide" by
/ the decision of the supreme court on
the Adamson act They asserted their
! willingness to submit the whole con-
+ troVersy to the eight hour commission
! if the law is declared unconstitutional
! and agreed to accept any decree of the
commission.
. Say Not Unpatriotic
! Pointing out to the four chiefs the
grave international crisis which con-
fronts the nation, they appealed to
! their patriotism to prevent strike.

What is believed to be new worlds
record for chances accepted in a single
game of ball was established the other
day by Daubert, the Brooklyn first
baseman, when he had q putouts and
four assists in the 22-inning battle with
the Pirates. At least this is latter
day record.
Jake himself disposed of as many
men as are required to complete a
nine-inning contest and even so he did
not kill off a third of the men retired
In this one. He was the only Brook
Ignite to handle more than ten put
outs, except Otto Miller, who caught
the whole game and slew Is opponents.
Other Records.
In the famous 24-inning tilt be-
tween the Athletics and Red Sox at
Boston, September 1, 1906, the longest
game in major league history, none of
the first basemen even approached
Daubert's record. Grimshaw of Bos-
ton had 20 putouts and two assists.
Davis and Schreck divided up the

VAN HALTREN HOLDS RECORD
Comes as Close to Mark as Anyone
With 464 Games.

There is some discussion regarding
the man who has played in the most
consecutive games in the major
leagues, but George Van Haltren, for
mer Giant outfielder, probably comes
as close to record as anyone, with
464 games.
Van Haltren' g run began late I'm 1897,
when he played the last three games
with the Giants. The next three years
he did not miss game, playing 157 in
1898, 1873 in 1899 and 141 In 1900. He
played ten games at the starting Of
1901, bringing the mark to 1874.
At this time Van Haltren was a vet
eran. having been in the game for more
than twelve years. Later he umpired
in the Pacific Coast league.

Is a good base runner, one capable Of
getting the utmost inch on both his
own and Bakers blows.
Pipp stands today as an example Of
the sound baseball sense of Manager
Donovan. When Wild Bill was brought
over from Providence pennant fame to
assume charge of the Yankees by
Messrs. Rupert and Huston, the new
owners, he found that the Detroit club
had given New York options on Pipp
and Hughie High.
Both Pipp and High made; good, and
formed a nucleus around which it was
possible to build the present strong
structure. Like most of the promi-
nent American league sluggers, Wal
ter Pipp is left-handed batsman. He
throws with his right hand, qualifica-
ton regarded as great advantage
for first-base play. Pipp is a grand
fielder, active agile and certain with
his hands. He is possessed of a Won
derful reach-he stands six feet two
inches in height, and weighs $50
pounds.

Harry had IL putouts and an assist
and Ossie 16 putouts. The two to-
gether thus were two short of Dau-
bert.
Pitcher Makes New Record.
1t is probable that Pitler of the
Pirates also hung up new mark for
second-sackers when he took care Of
Is putouts and four assists, total Of
10 chances without error. Only Dau-
bert of the players in this game ex-
ceeded him.
One of the remarkable features Of
this battle was the good control shown
by several of the pitch rs. Jacobs
walked only three men in II innings,
and Cheney but one in 10. Pittsburgh
had % men left on the bases, which
comes close to being a record, and
Brooklyn was not far behind with Is.
Bigbee of Pittsburgh was at bat II
times and made six hits, while Myers
of Brooklyn was up ten times and
five Safeties.

CLEVER WALTER PIPF
Yankees First Baseman Is Most
Remarkable Player.
Earned Title of HomelRun CIouter Of
His Circuit While but Twenty
Three Years of AgeZIn Clean
Up Position.

Walter Pipp, first baseman of the
Yankees, is one of the most remark
able players developed in the last de-
cade by the American league. Last
season, while only twenty-three years
old, this clever performer earned the
home-run title of his circuit and also
batted in more runners during the sea-
son than any other ball player Of the
Johnson organization. His hitting was
more effective than that of Iris Speak
er, Ty Cobb, Joe Jackson, Eddie Col
Inns and several others who topped him
In the official averages.
Pipp bats fourth in Bill Donovans
order. Fourth place Is considered the
cleanup" position There is a fine
distinction when it is remembered that
j. Franklin Baker, the home-run king
of Connie Mack's famous world cham
pion pennant trust, is now a team-mate
of the Michigan marvel.
In Pipp and Baker the Yankees pos
sess an ideal offensive pair such as has
carried more than one team to success.
Walter and Frank are to New York

were to the Tigers many years before

THREE SWATS WERE ENOUGH
GawEy Michigan Pitcher Who Could
Fool Ty Cobb Is Given Chance
to Show Jennings.

Hughie Jennings, manager of the
Tigers, recently had letter from a
Michigan pitcher who stated that he
could strike out Ty Cobb three times
out of four trips to the plate. 1t only
cost $1.S0 to get peep at this pitcher
and, working on the old motto that you
never can tell, Jennings forwarded the
one buck and eight dimes.
The pitcher came, six-foot four
inch man. He was gawky and he was
all Joints and bone.
Cobb was called and he faced the
new marvel. The first pitch Cobb
whacked against the right-field wall
The next was good for four bags when
Ty pasted it, and the third flew to
deep center and was four-ply shot.
"Well, what have you got to say?"
asked Jennings.
81 don't think that's Cobb" said the
pitcher.
Needless to say, that ended the
pitchers career.
