Representative Stocks Advanced One n to Almost Five Points.

New York, Feb. 2.-Representative stocks were not especially responsive today to the prospects of @ suspen- sion of fuelless Mondays after next week, but various other issues. espec- ially shippings, oils, motors, feathers and papers, advanced 1 to almost , points, mainly at the expense Of the bears.
 Rails moved within a narrow area, and industrials, notably steels and coppers, were disposed to react. though making up lost ground before the close. United States steel was under steady pressure most of the session but finished at a nominal advance.
 Half a dozen stocks. United tatsees steel, Marine pfd., Distillers' securi- ties, Industrial Alcohol Reading and Central Leather, contributed over 50 per cent to the days total of 355, 900 shares.
 General news was variable. Balti- more & Ohio's advance statement of December earnings being Offset by the annual report of the Goodrich com pany, which showed material in crease in net profits. Trade reports as a whole, however. showed the fla vcrable, weather conditions and seri- ous freight congestion.
 The chief feature Of the weekly bank statement was a further actual expansion of loans by over sill 900 : o00, making an aggregate Of s190,000, : eco for the past fortnight Excess re- serves decreased almost $a5, 900 coo, reducing the actual total to little more than $62, ,000, ,000

The floor of the dugout was an inch deep in water. Outside it was raining cats and dogs, and thin rivulets were trick ling down the steps. From the air. shaft immediately above me came a drip, drip, drip. Suicide Annex was a hole eight feet wide, ten feet long, and six feet high. It was about twen- ty feet below the fire trench; at least there were twenty steps leading down to it. These steps were cut into the earth, but at that time were muddy and slippery. A man had to be very careful or else he would shoot the chutes." The air was foul, and you could cut the smoke from Tommy s flags with a knife. It was cold. The walls and roof were supported with heavy square cut timbers. while the entrance was strengthened with sand bags. Nails had been driven into

ATHLETIC NOTES.
By Sol Metzser.

At the Washington and Jefferson Camp Sherman football game at To- ledo last fall several thousand enlisted men sat in one of the corner grand stands. Around the corner from them, so to speak. and placed in the boxes at the front of their stand, were sev- eral score of Red Cross nurses.
 AS the teams entered the field be- tween these two stands a very pretty nurse asked the soldiers cheer leader If Private Murphy, of such and such 8 company and regiment. was with the enlisted men. Learning that he was, this very pretty. nurse said that since she had nursed him she would like to see him again and requested

 Earl Stimson is also married and out out of the draft
 Snyder, a pitcher whom Collins picked up couple of seasons ago is still under suspension for not report ing. He is working in the Yonkers, N. r., post office and Erwin, the short stop who Collins got from Baltimore to take the place of Shannon when he skipped the Murlin outfit year ago last summer, is also under suspension for not reporting. Both of the players named are eligible for the draft
 Collins says that he believes the reople will support him in good shape this summer and he is going to make every effort to put a crackajack team in the field. He belieces this will be easier this summer than ever due to the number of players that will be available through other leagues sus- bending during the year.
 New Haven fans generally are hope fu1 that Collins will see his way clear to stasting the season for at the pres ent time with so much doubt in evil dence at Yale regarding how far Eli will participate in sports this spring, the sporting bill looms none too large in variety.
 An effort was made Sunday even- ing :c get in touch with Murphy but he could not be located.

and before the season was over he had been bought by New York. He was returned to Norwich in the spring of 1902 and in July of the same yea~ Connie Mack bought him for the Athletics. He played second base regularly until 1910, when he was as- signed to the outfield to make room for Eddie Collins. In the outfeld Mur- phy shone even better than in the in- field. During the 1913 season he was the acting captain of the team, al- though unable to play much.
 After leaving the Athletics Murphy went to the Brookfeds where he stayed for two years and then in 1916 went to New Haven where he built up a win- ming team that copped the Eastern League pennant in 1917.
 Collins at present has about a doz- en men on the reserve list and the talk of Saturday had a lot to do with the herding up of a collection of pitch CTS to be- on a par with~tlre bunch of stars who landed the Eastern pen nant at the Rock last summer.
 For pitchers Collins has only Harry Donovan left and he is liable to be hooktSI off in the draft. Micky Flaher- ey is on hand for backstop and he is out of the draft. Russell, the catcher who worked in one game for Collins last season and then returned to his studies at Kingston Agricultural col lege is still available but he, too, is liable for the draft.
 On first, Moose Miller is still on the reserve list and although he is eligible for the draft he is married and also ar employe of Winchester's. Neal Ball is on second yet and is out of the draft
 Hal Riconda at short is eligible fol the draft and so is Bradshaw at third

is something like that of the small boy
 at circus. But all the small boy has
 to watch is three rings and the clown.
 whereas a scout has to watch and note
 down what eleven men do in each play
 on both offense and defense. and in
 addition what down and in what posi-
 ton of the field each play is made
 from. Scouting is not getting the oth-
 CT teams signals or buying off oppos-
 ing players, as some would think. AS
 far as getting another teams signals
 is concerned, the modern coach has
 his troubles in getting his own sig
 nals into the brains of his own pro-
 teges, even if they are honor men in
 the classroom.
 Scouting is not frowned upon by
 football men. On the, contrary they
 will extend every courtesy of the field
 to the scouts of their biggest rivals.
 The whole game is played openly, un- like summer baseball. and has none of the real or imagined ills of that
 hot weather sport. Scouting does make the game more scientific.
