BEARS HAVE INNING
ON STOCK EXCHANGE

New York, Jan .23.-The short in
terest in the stock market became
more aggressive late in the morning,
placing an unfavorable Interpretation
upon the extension Of the freight en-
barge and rsaffirmation of copper
prices by the war board. United States
steel was the center of attack, selling
in large lots down to 80, an extreme
decline of 11s. Utah copper yielded
ia and leading rails reacted frac-
tionally. Shippings and oils forfeited
early gains but at midday rally set
in under lead of steel and minor spe-
cialties. Liberty 312's sold at 9S.2S
to $500 first As at 97.10 to $3.50 and
second As at 1884 to 1928.

Censorship On Job.

With more than 100000 workers
on strike and widespread reports of
disorders in Austria and Hungary the
situation in the dual monarchy is
clouded, the censorship having stified
the news.
Efforts OF Austrian statesmen to
quiet the hungry people in their de-
mand for peace apparently failed Of
their purpose and the censorship
which permitted the promises Of the
governments spokesman to reach the
outside world, again has resumed its
vigor. The trouble is said TO be deep
seated and is a mixture of war weari-
ness, hunger and anti-Germanism.
King Charles Looks On.
Little news has come from Germany
on the political situation there, but 1t
Is Indicated that the Austrian emperor
- not unmindful that the trouble in
his own land may force Emperor Will
Ham to change his attitude toward the
peace negotiations. II is reported that
further pan-German attempts to hold
meetings in Germany have been
broken up by peace adherents.
Copenhagen, Jan. 23.-The Austrian

The government, it was declared,
mad added that 1t aims at a speedy
general peace and does not desire an
ne&ation of Russian territory.
On these statements" the dispatch
asserted, "all strikes ceased on Mon
day"

NEW TALENT FOR
ST. COLUMBIA FIVE
Manager Coffey to Land
Dunlevy and DIETRICH to
Help Strengthen Team
LOSES TO YOURS TRULY

Manager Jimmy Coffey, of the St
COLUMBIA champions, has decided on a
change In the teams lineup when il
faces Victrix Catholic Club in its next
game. Ho will have back in their old
positions Tommy Dunlevy and George
DIETRICH, now at the Norfolk Navy Yard,
who will be released in several days.
Coffey today opened negotiations with
Jimmy Kane, the star southpaw cage
shot, now at the Bristol shipyard, and
expects to play him in the next game.
The champions were compelled to bow
to the superiority of Yours. Truly, % to
90, last night at Traymore Hall for the
second straight defeat and one more
than was sustained last season. The
Second street players sprung the sur
prise of the season and the contest pro-
duced newcomer in the ranks of baI-
ketball in the person of Benny Schwartz.
Opposed to Jimmy Brown, the young
ster covered himself with glory and al
lowed the best scorer in the game a
single basket, while he sent two beau-
ties spinning through the net.
The game was hard fought and at
various times the players not only swung
at each other, but came to blows. Much
of it escaped the attention of Referee
Baetzel, but near the close of the con-
test the whole Yours Truly five got after
Brown when they thought he han
died Schwartz roughly. The spectators
swarmed on the floor, but the referee
soon restored order and play was re-
sumed.
The first game was a poor sample OF
basketball. 1t was between Hancock and
S. =. II. A, Hancock winning 32-15.

WARTIME SPORTS
COST PENN $1,000
Financial Report Shows
Comparatively Small Loss
Up to August 81
FOOTBALL MADE $4,000

Wartime sports up to the end of the
nscal year on August 81 cost the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania loss of only
$1,000. figures comparatively small. in
view of the handicaps which war con-
aitions imposed on athletics.
The financial report issued by Ed
ward r. Bushnell, the graduate man.
ager OF athletics, at the annual meeting
of the Athletic Association in Houston
Hall last night, showed that the expendi-
lures totaled S109,995.44 and the receipts
S10s.949.16. -
Football. as usual, was the big money
winner. The gridiron sport showed a
profit of s3s,112.79 for the 1917 season.
1t Is known fact that the net profit
for the gridiron year just closed will be
much lower than the 1917 season.
Aside from football, basketball, gym
i nasium and the relays We're the only
sports to prove self-supporting. Bas-
ketball made s133.36, the relays $16601
and gymnasium s6352.
The biggest loser OF the year, Of
course, was rowing. More than $1,000
was lost on the sport. Track showed
q deficit of nearly $4,000. and baseball
lost close to $4,000.
There was an extremely small at
tendance at the meeting last night, and
as there was no quorum formed. no
business was transacted. No nomina-
tions were received for the elections,
and the present officers will hold over
until a meeting can be called.
