ARMY CITY COVER TOP"
Oversubscribes Loan by More Than
$1,000.

Army City, the newest town in
Kansas, is also one of the most pa
triotic. In the fourth liberty loan that
city went over the top by more than
5000 and a bond was purchased for
every resident of the town, men,
women and children. Every business
man took literally of the bonds, and
not one escaped his duty.
The quota for the fourth loan was
three times the amount allotted for
the third liberty loan. The last Red
Cross quota was more than trebled by
the people of Army City.

Chicago. Dec. 19.-The roster for
the coming season of the Chicago

Cleveland Alexander, star pitcher.
Thirteen of the Cubs players are
in the United States service at pres
ent. but 1t is expected by the man
agement that nearly all of them will
be discharged before the opening of

Unless Manager Mitchell makes
some trades, 1t was said the lineup
at the start is likely to be as fol-
lows:
Alexander. pitcher: Killefer, catch
er; Merkle, first base; Kilduf, Sec
ond base: Hollocher. shortstop;
Pick. third base; Flack, right field /;
Paskert center field; Mann, left

ny BRoADAN WALL.

New YORK, Dec. 1y.-StOcks turn
ed heavy today and net losses rang
ing from one to two points were
recorded throughout the list owing
to the announcement of a combina-
tion of unfavorable developments.
Offerings were based on reports
from Washington which declared
that Director General McAdoo said
railroad freight and passenger
rates would be reduced within the
next twelve months. establishment
of new low records for liberty
bonds and the declaration of a
strike at one of the plants OF the
General Electric Company.
Because of the advance, the tech
nical position of the market war
ranted a reaction in prices. Offer
ings. however. were comparatively
light.
One favorable development was
rate to four per cent rejecting
further ease in the money situation.
The money committee continues to
keep the lid tight on loans for
speculative purposes so that the
lower call money rate is not eX-
pected to result in any substantial
increase in stock market commit
ments on the long side of the mar
ket.
Strength continued to prevail in
the tobacco issues. Tobacco Pro-
ducts preferred which has been SELL
ing out of line with the common
stock. at one time showed a gain
of nearly / point. Liggett and
Myers rose nearly 5 points on pur-
chases of 200 shares. Tobacco Pro-
ducts new stocks was quoted on the
curb at 73 bid and rs asked. The
old stock changed hands on the floor
of the exchange at a depreciation of
more than a point following early
strength. American Sumatra was
strong early in the day. but subse-
quently turned weak.
Reduction of the B. & o. common
dividend is expected to have an
unfavorable influence on railroad
shares in general inasmuch as it
will tend to increase the gloom
hanging over the railroad situation.

Baltimore. Nd. Dec. 19.-Boxing Is
again to come into it's own tomor-
row evening when Fighting Dick
Loadman, of Lockport, N. Y. and
Jack Sharkey, the rising young
oantam-weight. of New York, are
TO clash over the twelve-roundN trail
at Albaugh's Theater, which is only
two blocks away from Union and

The first fistic feast to be staged
here in over seven months will be
under the auspices of the Peerless

ing Kid Williams In majority or
Its windups during the past two
years. The ring game was banned
by the police board early last sum-
mer for the duration of the war.
The advance sale for tomorrow

start after their spell of idleness in
this city. Loadman and Sharkey
are a pair of maulers of proven
merit and as they are about the
most popular of the smaller out-of-
town knights OF fstiana and a
slashing battle will be expected by
those who are familiar with THEN
aggressive style of fighting.
The winner is practically matched
to box World Champion Pete Her
man in New Orleans. Recently
Sharkey outpointed the title-holder.
and Loadman showed his class by
knocning out Johnny Artle in three
rounds in Milwaukee, several weeks
ago. The weight is to be 120 pounds

ON BIG DEAL
Yankee-Red Sox Trade APP
pears Like Even Break; If
Any Edge, Boston Has 1t.

A mid-winter pre-contract perusal
of the trade in which Miller Hug
gins obtained for the Yankees, Hub
Leonard. Ernie Shore and Duffy
Lewis in exchange for Al Walters.
Ray Caldwell. Frank Gilhooley and
Slim Love. gives the deal a fifty
nifty sort of look. with the advan-
tage. il any exists, resting on the
side of Ed Barrow.
In Lewis. Higgins obtained strength
for his Outfield. something OF which
he has never possessed since he be-
came leader of New York's Ameri-
can League representative. But in
Al Walters he gave to Barrow one
of the American Leagues best
young catchers-
The pitchers added to the Yankee
stan by the dicker will help but the
additional slabmen slipped to Bar
row will also give the Sox a better
chance of filling a depleted stan.
Gilhooley's worth is practically dis
counted through the fact that the
Red Sox already have Hooper.
Strunk and Shorten to draw from.
The Red SoX were good enough last
summer to win a pennant with little
help from Leonard, none from Shore
to speak of. and little from Lewis
Therefore the REIMBURSEMENT of this
trio hurt only slightly.
But the SOx were badly in need
of a catcher to help Agnew. There
fore. they have been helped.
The trade, however. results in this
fact:
IL places the Yankees within shoot
ing distance OF a pennant, for il
gives theEI a strong outfield and
a strong pitching stan. a good in
