The honor of twirling the opening game for Chattanooga in the South ern League against Atlanta fell upon Zeke Lohman, who was a member of the Hartford pitching staff last sea son. In a pitchers battle with Ad Brennan. former big league south paw, Lehman was shaded, ? to 0. Chattanooga expects him to be a con sistent winner in the box.
 Buck Weaver, who also was with Hartford for a brief stay last sea- son, likewise twirled the inaugural for New Orleans in the Southern league Weaver held the opposition safe until the ninth, when he weakened and lost credit for the game. New Orleans won in it's half.

 ARE READY
By CHARLES MCCULLOUGH.

Manager Stickles of the Coe-Stap-
 ley team has his men all ready for
 the field. and when the season starts
 on May 10th will be in the race with
 a first class nine.
 At a meeting held last night in the
 offices of the American Hardware
 Stores the Industrial League decided
 to use the SpaIding Baseball as it has
 done for the past season. President Patrick Noonan elected the Messrs. StiCkles and Mcintyre as a ground committee 10 look after the playing diamonds for the teams. MT. Whal- ey, supervisor of umpires, has men toned Howell and Bowden as um- Crane Co. No. 2 was left over for the next meeting. The games will be ! played on three different diamonds, namely. Seaside Park. NeWfield Park and it is undecided whether the Yost Field or the Circus lot can be obtain ed for the third. The league has adopted a ruling whereby any teal ! that is not represented at meetings will be obliged to pay a, fine of one ] dollar. It was also announced that l the MalIabIe Iron Co. had developed a severe case of cold feet and would ! not enter the league. MT. Dunni- SdU- SupetlN lSCT O1 SCCI61IS elllIlO ltllCCNl that he would be with the boys for i the season. and that there was no 1 truth in the rumOr that he wasn' { i going to accept. There will be an 1 othe-- meeting next Tuesday even | ing at the office of the American 1 Hardware Stores.
 ! The Tigers would like to meet any
 fast amateur team in the city. They would prefer to meet any of the fol- ! lowing: Waysides, Crashos or the i Scoffields, for a game to be played next Sunday at Seaside park. If this 1 challenge is accepted answer through l the Times Sporting column.
 Speed O'Brien, the young pitcher of the WashingtOns, has been doing some great box work lately. In a game with the Excelsiors he allow 1 ed but three hits and two runs.

who managed waIIy when he was at his best.
 Yet Paul and Walter put up a splendid contest. But Doyle knew too much. He was the cooler of the two. Mohr was the same wild, care less, but defiant boxer and slugger of old. Against Doyle, however, he was kept back where he could do the least harm and his wild advances got him little or nothing for Paul clever ly tucked or lodged his swings and jabk All four rounds went to Doyle. In the second round Paul practically closed Mohr's right eye with a healthy left swing to that optic.
 Doyle waded in with lefts and rights and strengthened and jabbed and swung them at will He occa- sionaIly slipped in an upper cut and while he slambanged his opponent to all corners of the ring, the Brook Iynite fought harder and harder, but without success. Like 9, flash the two went through the four rounds. Ii was too good 8 bout to be carrie over only a four-round route.

match The New Haven writer gross ly and unfairly so, attacked the matches-and yet prior to the show his columns were repIete with boosts and commendation of the card. Does this writer want us to believe that he was handing his readers bunk when he permitted those advance notices to appear in print?
 NICK CURLEY'S record as a pro- 2% moter and manager of boxers is unstained. Our only regret is that there are not more promoters like Curley in this te-particularIy in New Haven, which has been a breed ing place for alleged. self admitted and incompetent promoters"
 Curley knows boxing as few people in New Haven know it.
 The matches he arranged for last night were seemingly the best made for New Haven this season. But the best looking match on paper Is likely to go wrong in the ring. It's one of the peculiarities of the game.
 Curley was attacked by New Ha- ven writers long before he entered that city and made 1t his home He was atta cked by the writers, who did '. however, belonged to a trust of mon opolists, backed by crooked politics. and were under instructions to at tack Curley. And they did so un- mercifully.
 But in spite of this uncaIled for attack Dick Curley went to New Ha- ven and fought those who wished to do him harm. He has Iabored un- ceasingly under gigantic odds. He has always endeayored to give New Haveners the best possible. And that his plans miscarried last night was no fault of his.
 The statement made in the New Haven paper, too, that quite a large crowd of disgruntIed fans took ad- vantage of the announcement that they could have their money re- funded if dissatisfied with the substi- tuition of Johnny Martin Is nothing more than an effort to belittle the promoter.
 A little more attention to the public by some New Haven sporting writers will help them and boxing consid- erably. That boxing has been abused and maltreated in New Haven is due to nothing but gross neglect on the part of some writers there

In a recent issue OF The Southern

Ter is probably indebted TO Mr.. A. :.

ing letter from President Vail to the
Postmaster General. The telephone
Official states that: with this. new
system four telephone conversations
over one pair Of wires are simuita>
neously carried On, in addition 10 the
telephone conversation provided by the
ordinary methods. Thus, over a sir~

phone conversations are simulta-
neously operated, each giving service
as good as that provided by the cir
cult working in the ordinary way.
Heretofore the best telephone me-
thods known to ths alt provided only
one telephone conversation at a time
over a single pair of wires A number
of years ago, we developed the "phan-
tom circuit arrangement by which
three telephone circuits are obtained
from two pair of wires, an improve
ment of which we have made extensive
use. Now by our new multiplex me-
thOd, we are enabled to obtain five
telephone circuits over one pair of
wires that is, ten simultaneous teIe-
phone conversations from the TWO pair
of wires which formerly could be used
for only three simultaneous te1e-
phone conversations. This repre-
sents an increase OF NOR than three

In telegraphy, as we'll as in tele-

attained by the new system. By COM
bining two telegraph wires into a
metallic circuit Of the type used for
telephone working and by applying our
new apparatus and methods to this
metallic circuit, we have enormously
increased the capacity Of the wires
for telegraph messages. AS applied
to high-speed printer systems we car
do eight times as much as is now done
and as compared with the ordinary du,
plex telegraph circuit in general use
we can do ten times as much. These
increased results are attained with
out in any way impairing the quality
of telegraph working.
The nature of these developments is
such that, if desired, wires may oe

HUGE TANK OF MOLASSES
SPREADS HAVOC IN BOSTON.
Nine People Meet Death When Great
C0ntainer ExplOdes.-Wreckage and
Streets Submerged in Sticky Flood
of Two Million Gallons of Syrup.

Boston, Jan. 15.-Nine persons are
known to have been killed and about
fifty injured by the explosion Of huge
tank of molasses on the water FROM
off Commercial street, near Keany
square today. Eight bodies were re-
moved from the wreckage and one man
died at the relief hospital. Most of
those injured suffered only from
bruises
The cause of the explosion has not
been definitely determined. Walter l..
Wedger, explosives expert, said that
he was not prepared to give final
opinion, but that it seemed probable,
it resulted from gas fumes generated
by fermenting molasses within the
tank, which was not full. The tank
was owned by the Purity DistiIiing
company.
A dull, muffled roar gave but an in
stant's warning before the Top of the
lEank was blown into the air. The cir
Reular wall broke into two great seq
ments of sheet iron. Two million gal
| Ions of molasses rushed in a uiighty
stream over the streets and conI erted
into a sticky mass the wrecKage OF
several small buildings smashed by tbs
explosion.
The greatest mortality apparently
occurred in one of the buildings OF {
city storage yard. One Of the sections
of the tank wall fell on ire house

Iu1S DIT IT'S VI S0C4AI 0O00AOA'
The condi ion on which members OF
the Board of Health recommend thar
the colored people of the State be pro-
vided with a tuberculosis sanatorium
is that the patient or his family,
friends, or the city, or county, or some
other agency, one or all combined,
provide one dollar per day per pa
tient for the maintenance Of the in
stitution, and that the State provide
the grounds, buildings and equipment,
and the remainder Of what is requir-
ed to maintain the institution.
This request OF the Legislature has
been asked, first, for the reason Of the
prevalence of tuberculosis among the
negroes of the State and the high
death rate from same, and for the
freedom with which the negroes trans
nit the disease both to their own pee
pie and to the white, and, second, for
the reason that the work of our State
Sanatorium has long since past the
experimental stage, and justif1es,
through it's records, asking the State
to prevent tuberculosis among the ne
groes as it is doing among the whites.

Omsk, Siberia, Jan. 18.-The Chief
question confronting the Omsk gov

Registration stations have been
opened at Tiumen aid Kurgan, where
endeavors are being made to battle
and reclothe the men before forward
ing them to their homes. Food sup
plies are ample but the question OF
clothes is almost unanswerable in the
recent conditions when the active army
itself is half naked. Communications
for the far east are disorganized and
Ncongested.
Returned prisoners relate piteous
tales of their sufferings. Broken in
health, they are dependent on charity
for sustenance Occasionally they
managed to travel on trains but gen.
orally had to march except when pea
eants gave them a lift on carts Or
horseback. Many obtained few days
work here and there for food. Bus
for the kindness of the people, few
ever would have reached Siberia.
Apparently the returning prisoners
are not affected with bolsheviSm and
| have no object on earth but to reach
| their homes from which the most OF
them have been absent over four
years. Their passage through the
bolshevist lines was uniuIpeded and il
is known many of the bolshevists have
been entering Siberia in the guise OIL

Registration Of prisoners is strictly
conducted, but it is ditf1,'u,t to defect
