.A-
 Ten per cent of the membership of the major league ball teams drop out every season, the players either clubs or being released outright Thus do horses of the diamond come and go though the game goes on forever.
 No more striking illustration of the changes that come in team makeup is furnished than in the case Of tho Pfttsburg Pirates. now in camp in Georgia When Hans Wagner failed to report it marked the passing of the last member of the Pirate team that won. a worlds championship less than decade since.
 Since the time that Barney Dreyfuss took his Colone1s from Louisville and merged them with the Pittsburg Pi- rates. the Smoky City club always has had one or more heroes of a pennant- winning Combination to count upon in rebuilding it's team for another cam paign, until this year.
 Early in the century the Pirates won three championships and in all the years since there has been some trace of their former greatness on each stic- ceeding team. When the line was all most extinct the Pirates came through in 1903 by winning the National league horors and a worlds champion ship and thus introduced a lot of new he roes, and even tho durable Wagner must pass also, yet who is there to say that in the new team that is being built by a new Pirate manager there is not the element of a winner? It is thus with baseball. as it is with all mankind, in whatever its endeavor.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET CLOSED ACTIVE.
Prices Were at the Highest Levels
 During the Last Hour.

New York. April 2.-All eyes in Wall Street were directed towards Washing ton today. the trend of events at the national capital being the feature of paramount interest The celerity with which congress proceeded to or ganize was viewed with general ap- proval by conservative as well as the speculative interests.
 Monetary conditions remained easy, last Saturdays adverse bank state ment being offset by the receipt of additional gold imports. which were placed to the credit of the entente al- lies. Closing of the books on the of fering of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company's issue of $6GO0O. 900 bonds several days in advance of the ap- pointed time because of a large over subscription attested to the confidence of investors.
 The uncertain state of the interna- tional situation was more strikfngiy exemplif1ed in the complete withdraw aIs of rates of exchange on the Teu- tonic countries, presumably in the ab- sence of any demand. Quotations for sterling and fires were firm to strong. but francs receded fraction rubles gaining about as much.
 Stocks were irregular at the open ing. except for those issues in which pools have recently been active. The entire list moved forward by noon, however, and was at highest levels in the last hour, the activity of that pe- riod deriving much of it's momentum from short coverings.
 War shares and equipments domin ated the list. Bethlehem Steel old stock rising 1-2 points to 14S and the new 6 3-4 to Al 1-2. United States Steel made an extreme gain of 2 7-S points at 116 3-4. with 1 to 3 points for affiliated issues.
 Coppers and shfppings were materi- ally higher after early hesitation and motors made up their early reaction before the close. Foremost special ties included Ohio Gas. which rose z points to 140 3-8. with for American Woolen and to points for various uncIassified issues.
 Rails were irregular. being handi- capped by further poor February statement of earnings. Total sales amounted to 6s5,000 shares.
 Heaviness of high grade rails made for an irregular bond market
 Total sales (par va1ue) aggregated s2S75. 600.

MILITARY TRAINING IN ColI IEeES
vices and Have Been Working Along Lines of Nsaionsl Preparedness

Athletics and intercollegiate sport demanding as they do strong hearts and good nerves. have been doing no small part in fitting us for any strug- met A. T. Reach, the old baseball play CT. The conversation driffed to the Spanish war and the success of the American arms. It was his opinion men for the quick thinking and in- stant action that had SO much to do with our superioty in that conflict. Certain it was that many college sath- letes were in the thick of that strug- Today, the situation is such that should the actual clash come many in- tercollegiate events are likely to be called off. First. many of the athletes are already enlisted or pledged to ser vice should the call come. They were among the first to take advantage of the Plattsburg encampments and the Naval Training cruise. Second, there is great doubt if the college autllori- ties would permit the carrying out of team schedcless except under most re- stricted conditions. Pennsylvania, for example had a clause inserted in el1e contract it recently made with Bob Folwel1. it's graduate football coach an- nulling the same at it's option in case of war. But it must be remembered that, though the athletic ranks in Eng fish and Canadian universities were
 
 tinued-and, encouraged as part of the program of preparation in the training camps. Such a plan would likely be carried out in this land.
 College athletes have been quick to volunteer their services even when the contest was between other countries. There was first thes splendid spirit which prompted Winchester Dana Os- good, one of the greatest half back of the best team Pennsylvania ever had. that of 1894 to join tho Cuban insur- rection. in 1896. in which conflict he lost his life. Osgoods memory is cher rished by every man who knew him and is revered to this day in Cuba
 And there was Johnny Poe, the old Princeton end. whose glorious death came in the Battle of Loos, in 1915, while fighting for the allies, did so much to smooth the path of many Americans who were compelled to re- main in England after the outbreak of the war when the feeling ran high that

 Now and then the news comes to U. of this and that college athlete who has been. is. or soon will be. in the service of the American Ambulance corps in France. True. many other fine boys are in this service but 1t is refre6hing to know that fhe college athlete is capable of doing his turn when the need comes and that his training on the gridiron. the field. the river or the track has in no small way fitted him for the sternest work man Is called upon to do. And the loyalty he has developed fo- the college be- cause of his athletic service in it's be- half has done much to further that necessary in case of conflict
 At recent athletic meeting in New York Major Palmer E. Pierce. U- s. A., gave some interesting figures on the percentage of men who were rejected for service in the present war because of physical unfatness. The figures were astounding But the point was clearly brought out that intercollegiate sport and athletics in general were doing a great preparatory work in America
 War is the sternest situation a coun- try confronts: It must ever be fought Of. this youth must necessarily be those boys who are fitting themselves for life by educational cocrses. Should conflict with any power arise the college athlete will have been well trained for this grim work Waterloo was won on the p1aygrounds of Eng land and though the present method Of warfare is vastly different, victory goes to the strongest All in all coll lege athletics have been doing a lot in the way of national preparedness.

 Coach Washington & Jefferson Foot bau Team.
 It is apparently uhnecessary to state at this time that the coming outdoor season in intercollegiate sport is in a rather doubtful state owing to the sit uation nationally. Many of the col leges have gone deeply into the pre- courses in strategy and athletic train ing all being directed along the line of national preparedness.
 At the time of the Spanish war many college youths volunteered their services and one of the boys to lose his life in Cuba was Hamilton Fish, captain of the first Columbia crew to win the intercollegiate race at Pough- keepsie. But. on the whole this con- fiict did not reach the high water mark now undergoing in it's demand for men; nor was the situation as acute as at the time of the Civil war. In this latter struggle coI1egians from both sections volunteered and gave their lives in large proportion to their respective causes. I know of one fra ternity with chapters in the South the members of which entered the strug- gle to a man.
 Preparedness is national tissue and one of the most important facing this country. whatever the views of people in relation to war. It is therefore both fitting and proper that our educational institutions give the present national situation their entire support. And one of the necessary features of prepared ness is the physical preparation of each individual likely to be summoned should the United States be forced in- to conflict.
 : Last spring when the call came for the different bodies of national guards men to go the Mexican border. a group of men. some of them finely trained oarsmen who had rowed in the ;1tercollegiate races the previous day, Poug ghl1eepsie The entire talk in the train was of the Mexican situation. There happened to be present a regu- lar army officer. The varsity oarsmen made profound impression upon him. Once he gave voice to his thoughts.

 Cobb batted Herzog for more than
 The result was not surprising. as Buck is a light hitter while Ty is a slugger.
 A mere Giant could scarcely have been expected to master a ferocious Tiger.
 The rumpus was started by a hook ing slide and ended by sliding hook Herzog admitted that he had had enough.
 While Cobb earned the decision. Hughey Jennings is as sore as a gi- raffe with tonsilitis. because McGraw reaps all the benefit. Ty insisting that he will take no further part in the se- ries.
 The outcome only serves to demon strate that while Herzog may have been a fair manager he is a poor fighter.
