MUST SUBSCRIBE
 BILLION DOLLARS
 EACH 24 HOURS

Washington, Oct. 17.--IOne billion dollars a day is the approximate measure of subscriptions required to insure the success of the fourth lib- erty loan. The nation had subscribed only s3,2s9, ,OO1, 800 by official tabuIa- tton early today and three days re- main in which to reach the six bil- lion dollar goal
 Tn the coming three days the American people must decide whether the Fourth Liberty Loan shall be a success or a faiIure,' said a statement by Secretary McAdoo. Tt would be fatal to minimize the gravity of the nations problem"
 Total subscriptions tabulated Sat- urday at the close of the campaign must total at least $4,500, ,0OO, 900, off, cials said today, if the loan is to be fully subscribed. Related subscrip- tions and final tabulations on the ba- sis of previous loans may be counted upon to add one billion dollars to the total, but it was emphasized that to- day and tomorrow are the critical days In the campaign.
 Regardless of peace talk and even should Germany completely agree to the Allied peace terms, 1t was pointed out today the loan must be sub scribed. Part of the six billion dol lars already have been expended and even should the war end at once nearly two million troops in France must be cared for and returned home at government expense.
 Coinctdent with the receipt of re- port that German prisoners in this country are buying Liberty Bonds, news came from France that when American soldiers capture Germans and find money upon them they ad- wise immediately that the Germans invest it in Liberty Bonds.
 Reports from all sections of the country were more optimistic today than at any time during the cam paign.
 New York, Oct. 17.---With only three days remaining of the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign, barely more than one-half of the second Federal Reserve districts quota of s1,S0O, ,OOO, ,OOC had been officially reported subscribed at 10 a. m. today. At that hour the total was $916,227, 900, an overnight gain of $68, 7O6,15O.

 Set up exercises with the piano gave the members great fun. The different stunts on the horizontal bar was liked and well performed by all of them. The game of pushing the basketball between each others legs and throwing the basket made them extremely ex- cited.
 Vollev ball although played for the first time by most of them brought the last game very close.
 The seniors meet Tuesdays, Thurs days and Saturdays at p. m.

fancy. Nevertheless, he was rapidly
overhauing Papp at the finish. In all
his races last year Escola showed q
tendency for long route. He always
beat his horses by n sprint through
the stretch. He was not particularly
fast in the first half mile, but wore
down his opponents at the end. It
was in that style that he beat Papp.

Yw9rs ASSURANCES that they wish to
cooperate with them in providing
spring sport, and they are awaiting
responses from Harvard and Prince
ton regarding possibilities of meets
on the proposed war basis.
No such thing as an Easter trip for
the baseball squad which may be
formed will be tolerated. and it is
possible that a rule will be put into
effect which will make it impossible
for any team to be away from New
Haven overnight. Lack of transpor-
tation facilities will be considered,
and the trips taken will be of short
distances, although Princeton and
Harvard will be regarded in the pos
sibilities of distance.
Whether even the limited sched-
ules which the athletic council Will
allow the proposed informal teams to
go through will be possible of ac-
compIiShment will be unknown till
after an effort is made to organize
squads in baseball, rowing and track
athletics in two or three weeks. Eff
forts to form a hockey team failed
for that reason the past week, and
the informal squad now contains
only about a dozen candidates.

O'MA.RA ENIISTS.
Dodgers InfieIdcr Enrolls i'm Naval
Reserves.

Brooklyn, Jan. 29-Oliver E. O'Mara
mail at Kerry Patch, st. Louis, Mo.
stepped over to the Brooklyn Navy
Yard yesterday and enlisted. He
makes the seventh of Squire Ebbets'
well known Dodgers to be accepted
for national service and the monarch
of Flatbush is beaming with pride He
also is having another service star en-
broidered for the flag that now hangs
in the Brooklyn baseball office.
The other Dodgers who have already
Joined the army or navy are Jeff
Prefer, Leon Cadore, Sherrod Smith,
John FitzSimmons, John Kelleher and
Lou Malone. Each one of these men
was potentially valuable to the 1919
Dodgers, the three first named being
pitchers of whom it was reasonable to
expect much.
Now that OMara is gone it shoots
another hole into the tentative infield
that the sharps had rugged up for the
Squire of Fatbush. It was expected
after the great season O'Mara had at
Atlanta. where he was instrumental in
bringing the pennant to the Cocoa
Cola City, he would fit in the hole torn
in the Brooklyn infield by the ex-
change that took George Cutshaw to
PITTSBURGH. Cutshaw has long pre-
sided over the keystone sack for
Squire Ebbets. and O'Mara was ex-
pected to take up the knitting where
he left off.

BOSTON ARENAS
LOSE TO WANDERERS
New York HockeyiSts Get Even
for Previous Defeat

New York, Jan. 29.-Out of a hot
scrimmage in front of the Arena net,
midway in the second period of the
National league hockey game be-
tween the Wanderers and the Arena
ring last night, Long Tom Mccarthy
smashed home the goal that gaNe
the home team the victory by a score
Of 1 TO 0.
The Wanderer forwards outclassed
their Arena rivals, but Capt. Du-
fresnes boys were baked by the
stonewall defence put up by little
Frank Storey, the Boston English
High school youngster. The Boston
midget's goal guarding was a reve-
lation. The fast and hard shoot
ing Wanderer forwards repeatedly
pierced the Arena front and poured
a fusillade at Storey, but he faced
the bombardment with a nerve that
vas ice and with eye and arm per-
foctly attuned.
Lewis the Wanderer net keeper,
did some splendid defensive playing
himself, particularly in the last two
minutes of play, when the boys from
the brown bread and Browning belt
cut loose with a sensational rally.
There in the sunset session of the
game the Bostonians fought like
heroes to turn the tide and sent in
shots from all angles. Always, how
ever, Lewis showed stick, armored
glove or shin in the way of the
Arena drive. and when the final
whistle blew the Wanderer net still
was unsullied.

Strong Possibility That Frazec Will
Name Infielder to Succeed Jack
Barry During War Period.

days. All doubts about the possibility

Tough by the navy so that he might
manage the Red Sox again were set
aside last week by Lieut.. Park of the
Boston navy yard when he said that
positively no furloughs would be
granted to professional baseball play
ers in the navy.
Hoblitzell recently was permitted to
leave a hospital In Cincinnati, where
ne had undergone a difficult opera
ton. He Is now eenVa1eseing at his
horne there and probably will meet
Harry F'razee Of the Red Sox at the
schedule meeting of the American
league In this city on February Ia,
A strange part about Hobby's oper-
alton is that he decided to go through
with it to enable him to enter the
dental service in the army. The prof
fer of the temporary management of
the Boston team may cause him to
change his mind.
Hoblitzell will continue at first base
for Boston, and Stuffy McInnis, the
Athletics old first baseman will be
shifted to second. While McInnis has
won most of his fame as a first base
man he originally came into the
American league a shortstop, and can
play a tidy game at any infield posi-
ton. It is a curious coincidence that
three members of Macks famous
$4,000 infield-Collins, Barry and
McInnis will play second base next
season. Barry will play for a navy
Despite the inroads which the war
has made on the Red Sox. Hoblitzell
will be able to put rafting good
team on the field next season. He will
have Walker, Strunk and Hooper for

Agnew and Cady, catchers, and Leon
