STOCK MARKET

New York, Feb. IA - Opening: Special issues such as Distillers Gen eral Motors and Sumatra Tobacco averaged one point gains at the dull opening of today's stock market, but immediately reacted on the heavy tone displayed by other shares of the same class, notably Maxwell Motors, Texas Co. and General Electric. Steels and coppers were fractionally lower and Canadian Pacific WIS heaviest of the railroads at loss of F points.
 Noon-Offerings broadened later, shippings and various equipment be- ing added to the list of reactionary stocks. The motor group suffered most, General Motors showing an ex- treme decline of five points and Max wei common and second preferred two to three points. United States Steel yielded a point, oils one to two, and minor specialties as much. Canadian Pacific continued to feature the rail- roads, losing almost three points.

EX-AMBASSADOR
 SPRINC-RICE. DIES BY HEART ATTACK

Ottawa, Ont, Feb. 14-Sir Cecil Spring Rice, former British ambassa- dor to the United States, died this morning at 1 o'clock of heart failure at Government House. Lady Spring Rice and his son and daughter, Betty and Anthony, aged II and g respec- lively, were with him.
 Washington, Feb. 14- Diplomatic Washington was shocked today by the news of the sudden death in Ottawa of Sir Cecil Arthur Spring-Rice. who retired after nearly five years ser vice as British ambassador to the United States early last month in favor of Lord Reading.
 Although it had been known that Sir Cecil had desired for a long time before his retirement was announced to be relieved of his heavy duties in charge of the embassy, no intimation was given when he left Washington that he was in i'll health. However, officials here pointed out that he had been under tremendous strain from the responsibilities devolving on him, especially dur1ng the negotiations on the operation of the Allied blockade before the United States entered the war.
 Following is the text of a formal message of coincidence sent by Secre- tary Lansing to Lady Spring-Rice:
 ''In the name of the President and of all those with whom Sir Cecil was brought into official contact I offer you sincere coincidence. It has been given to few men to rise as Sir Cecil did to the heights of great interna- tionaI emergency and to become, as he was, the fortunate medium through which our two nations drew into closer touch and became sharers in the great task which has been i'm posed upon the World''

SUNDAY BASE BALL IS BOON
TO WORKERS AND SOLDIERS
Provides Healthful Recreation for Those
Heretofore Lacking Diversion in
Fresh Air and Sunshine.
BY DENMAN THOMPSON.

Legalizing of Sunday base ball in
the District will prove boon to the
large number of soldiers stationed in
or near. Washington, we'll as to
thousands of workers whose only OPP
portunity for diversion is on the first
day of the week. Busy at their allot-
ted tasks on week days until an hour
that precludes the possibility Of them
obtaining any entertainment out of
doors, they have heretofore on Sun
days. their one day for recreation, been
compelled to confine their activities
to walking the streets. congregating on
corners or. in some instances. fire.
quenting card or dice games. if their
inclinations did not lead them to the
movies or other theaters. According
to the police. this condition has led to
a large increase in the surreptitious
sale of liquor and other illicit prac-
tees
1t is the belief of the officials of the
District that making it possible for
the people to obtain healthful amuse-
ment in the fresh air and sunshine
will be conducive to lettering the pub
lie morals. especially in view of the
recent large increase in the population.
The experiences of other big cities
where Sunday base ball has been insti-
tuted shows that it provides harmless

numbers who otherwise would have no
gainful way in which to spend their
spare time.
The many men in the uniform of
Uncle Sam who are training in Wash
ington or close to it. a large percentage
of whom are given their freedom on
Sundays, will jump at the chance to see
the big league stars in action, an op-
portunity denied majority of them at
any other time. In order to make sure

have to foreeo the treat of an exhibit

the price, the management of the ball
club has announced that 1000 tickets
for soldiers will be issued free for every
Sunday game. These tickets will be sent
to the commander of the camps about
Washington and distributed by them.
For the game next Sunday it is expect
ed that about half this number will be
sent to Gen. Kuhn for the boys at Camp
Meade and the remainder turned over
to Camp Meigs and Camp Humphreys.
Special seating arrangements. will he
made for the soldiers. in order that they
will not be required to pay even the
war tax.

INDIANS MAY GET PLUM

What team will be accorded the
highly remunerative distinction of OPP
posing the Nationals in the first Sab
bath encounter next Sunday has not
been made known. President Minor
of the Washington club is awaiting
word in this connection from Ban
Johnson. who will revise the schedule
with d view to giving the other seven
clubs in the circuit an equal division,
as far as poSsib BILE, of the dates. The
schedule shows it will be possible with
good weather for thirteen Sunday
games to be played here from this time
until the season ends This will mean
two Sunday dates each for six of the
clubs and one for the seventh. 1t Is
considered likely that the Cleveland
or New York club will be assigned
next Sundays plum. as it would be
injudicious to bill the White sox for
Sunday after four prior straight games,
a four-game set Monday. Both New
York and Cleveland have postponed
games to be played here, as has Phila-
delphia, which also will be considered
for the date.
Ray Hansen. the young right handed
pitcher from Beloit, Wis. who was
recommended to Manager Griffith by
Ed Charity, showed up yesterday and
will Re looked over today.
AL Waldbauer, who was returned to
the Griffmen by the Atlanta club. has
been sent to Wichita, Kan, in response
to an appeal for pitcher from Frank
Isbell. who is managing the Western
League team.

supposed to be characteristic of south

out-and-out gifts. Guy Morton de-
served his victory, however, as he held
in the first six rounds and, after he
! in the seventh, gave a great display of
gameness in the eighth and finished
strong by tanning two Of the Nationals
in the final frame
Manager Griffith used three pitchers
and trio of pinch hitters in an effort
to cop the rubber clash of the SERIES
but Morton was effective, despite his
unsteadiness, and was accorded stanch
support.

latter's steal put Indians on second and
