 Moran In Training.
 Frank Moran left for Camp Wads- worth today where he will begin training for Fred Fulton in connection with his army boxing instructing.
 Moran has managed to rid himself of the heavy cold that had settled in his chest at Camp Wadsworth. When he arrived in New York few days ago he could hardly speak above a whisper. Moran is anxious to get down to the grind that must come in prepa- ration for Fulton.
 Speaking of condition must remind Moran that Fulton has a decided ad- vantage at present, as he has been fighting often for heavyweight, far more often than Moran has. Frank has hinted that he would like to have a couple of shay encounters before meeting Fulton, but if it isn't possible he will not fear the oEtcome Moran saw Fulton box and is sure he can bring him down 'I'll walk in- to him, take all he's got, and as soon as he realizes he can't floor me hell begin to wish he was back at the plas- | tering trade" said Moran the other day in speaking of his chances.
 Moran's notion may be all right. buI l he will have to be in condition fol | Fulton. Fred hits hard and hits often 1 Moran is not Miske in speed, and simply because Billy skinned through without being fattened. it is not cer. 1 tain that Moran will be as lucky. He

URBAN FABER WAS
 PURCHASED FOR s15Oo
comisl<ey Thought He Was Making a
 Donation When Raid the Price,

A $500 pitched won the 1917 worlds championship, added $115,000 to the coffers of the Chicago White Sox club and made Charles A Comiskey owner Of the team in lineE to pick up many more thousands during the coming season. .
 Urban Faber,, known in polite base ball circles as Red" is the hurler whom Comiskey purchased for a pit tance. In 1913 Faber was pitching for the Des Moines team in the Western batsmen look like revolving storm doors. While the Des Moines hurler, assisted by Clint Rogge, was pitching Des MoineS into second place Frank Isbell and Tom Fairweather, owners, were trying to peddle him.
 Isbell knew Faber was a major league pitcher, and besides he needed the money. A major league pitcher wouldn't do him any good and the money would. The time for the draft drew near and 1t was a certainty that some major league club or some Class 4 A club would draft Faber. In those days the draft price was only St,N00.
 The day before the draft opened Is- bell boarded a train, Chicago bound, gained an audience with Charles A. Comiskey, and presented his case, at the same time giving his candid opin ion of all baseball scouts.
 t"Commy'' wasn't in a generous mood that afternoon, but he was charitable Ee offered Isbell s1 800 for Faher. He offered Isbell $1,500 for F'aber. He was certain that the sum was a donation. Iebeli didn't mind having S1 .509 thrust upon him. He was only disappointed at the amount, and also peeved at COmiskey's attitude considering Sl5G0 for a Sf5,000 pitcher q gift. so he made q counter proposition: That the White Sox pay sl 800 for .Faber and, if he fnlied to make good. no pay
 Faber proved a winner for Chcag at once. and as direct result one ma tor league scout lost his job. There is no need to give him name here, but lie was employed by the Washington Americans. Clark Griffith, the Wash fngton manager, fired the scout be- cause he had followed Faber in tho Western league for nearly three weeks and, had then labeled him with tht ON G." sign.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET DRIFTED AlMLEsSLY. A Firm Opening Was Succeeded by .r...+.. Irregular Periods. asa .3~s ''


 New York, Jan. S~-.I'he stock market drifted ain1ie@sly today, a firm opening being succeeded by ir- regular periods. these in turn giving way to a general rally. with yet an- other setback towards the close.
 The final reversal came on the heels of Secretary McAdoos statement be- fore congressional committee in which he again urged prompt action on pending railroad legislation, with dir&ct reference to its hearing upon further government loans to be float ed by the end of the fiscal year. Other Washington developments which served to unsettle the market included the extension of the freight embargo and maintenance of the ex- isting price schedule on copper metal by the war board. Specialties again comprised a very large part of the days limited deal- ings, pools continuing their activity in speculative issues, while rails and many other standard stocks were ig | nored or moved within narrow | bounds.
 Industrial conditions, especially the | production of finished iron and steel were further aggravated by the freight blockade, according to trade authori- ties U. s. Steel was again the. most active issue of the day, losing a point on persistent pressure. Sales amount ed to 100000 shares. | Money on time was unchanged, but I call loans continued to relax on the redepositing of government funds with local institutions. Foreign exchange was unaltered on extremely light trad ing.
 The bond market was irregular Liberty 1-2's sold at ss.2s to 9S.1S l first fours at 97.16 to 96.90 and second l fours at 9.632 to 96.24. Total sales par value, were $4,275,000.

Stumpf With Pirates.

For many weeks Barney Dreyfuss had been promising Pittsburg fans a new shortstop who would prove sen- sation. Recently we learned that the sensation is an old friend of New York fans, for he is none other than Bill Stumpf who played on and off, mostly of, with the Yankees during the re- gimes of Harry Wolverton and Frank Chance. Stunpf has been purchased from Portland. now denoted to the Northwestern League.
 Stumpf was brought to the Yankees by Arthur Irwin. who always persisted that Bill had the greatest arm in the game and berated Wolverton for keep ing him out of the lineup. When ever Bill did get a chance to show the strength of that arm he always threat ened the school house over on the far side of Old American League park Hugo Bezdek had lots of opportunity to see Stumpf in action and no doubt recommended his acquisition by the Pirates.
