FRY UP LID IN GOTHAM

iBy Review Leased Wlre)
 NEW YORK, Jan. l, 1919.-Father Knickerbocker and his numerous fam fly began prying up the lid" late last night and had it entirely removed by the time chimes, whistles, bells and horns gave riotous greeting at mid night to the advent of 1919.
 A strike of union walters; called al most literally at the eleventh hour, and the excessive cost of high liv- ing cast no damper on their determi- nation ot celebrate properly. They blithely pawned the family jewels or mortgaged the old homestead that they might be prepared for emergen- cies.
 Two Factors in Merriment
 The oldest inhabitants of Boardway and adjacent streets in the roaring forties" admitted unanimously that for merriment and noise it was the most successful New Years eve they could remember. They attributed the whole souledness of the celebration to two factors. One was that war no longer cast a ghastly shadow over the spirits of mankind and the other was the prospect that when 1920 appears upon the scene, toasts will be drunk Tn nothing more enlivening than chaste tea or foaming ginger ale.
 By a special dispensation of Mayor Hylan, permits were issued to 15O Of the more popular hotels and cafes to continue the festivities for an hour and half after the usual closing time at 1 a. m and all availed them selves of the privileges to the last moment

RENEWED ANCIENT CUSTOMS.

LONDON, Dec. 31.-Evidence that the war is ended came again tonight in the London celebration of the pass ing of the old year.
 The traditional gathering of Scots men before St. Paul's cathedral took place with Wassail and native songs. For the last four years the sadness of war precluded this celebration, but tonight this old custom was renewed with enthusiasm.
 The streets surrounding St. PauPs were filled with Scotsmen before mid night. They sang "Auld Lang Syne, and exchanged greetings, while chimes, silent since the outbreak of the war, rang in the New Year.

 Regrets Clumsy Propaganda.
 Prince Carl said he regretted that the German propaganda in the United States had been carried out in what he termed such a clumsy manner. Germany, he declared, should have started her propaganda on a larger scale and spent millions of marks in- stead of thousands. The greatest fault with Germary's diplomacy, he added, was the persistent disregard of the importance of national psychology and failure to appreciate the points of view of other nations.
 The prince was discharged from the German army at Hanover a few days ago and is living at his castle at Naumedy. on the Rhine near Ander- mach. He said his first intimation of Cermany's military collapse was when the high command sent an order to him on the western front to man a telephone with an officer of the per sonnel The only troops in the in tCIlOI OL AlN AhSS 0NN~Nf when the recent trouble started were replacement battalions of young, un- trained men who were easily con taminated by bolsheyik doctrines. It was his opinion, he asserted, that this would not have happened if an old time German officer had been com manding.
 6O,ooo Hun Officers Killed.
 The prince concluded the interview by saying that 6O,00O German officers had lost their lives during the war
 Prince Carl was German military attache with the Japanese army dur ing the RussO-Japanese war. He is said to have been extremely pro Japanese and strongly anti-Russian. During the visit to Germany in 1907 of the late King Edward, Prince Carl was relieved of command of the first regiment of dragoon guards, of which King Edward was the honorary com mander. It was rumored at the time that his friendliness to the Japanese and his open hostility to the Russians was the cause of his transfer.
 Laughed at American Army.
 Carl is another Of the German gen erals known before the European war to have held strong prejudice against the ability of the American army and navy. on various occasions having be- Titled them. His antipathy also ex- tended markedly to the British land and sea forces.
 With regard to Germany's losses in officers, the Cologne Gazette on No vember 25 placed the number of off cers killed at 44,00O and those missing at 13,000.

building in every particular.
That group of houses on the west
side of the city which were erected
by the housing corporation for the
use of workers for the government
who it was claimed could not get shell

have not yet been completed so that

the same period of 1918. when there
were seven petitions filed, with la

Baseball Conference Week Opens Today

New York. Jan. 13.-Minor league
club owners and managers are ex-
pected to make a determined effort to
obtain relief from the present draft
regulations at series of baseball
meetings which will begin here tomor-
row, according to statements by Of
ficials arriving today.
Several conferences were held this
afternoon, at which the matter was
discussed, and it was the general
opinion that a new agreement must be
reached with the major leagues. Thu
draft and optional rules between the
two divisions of organized baseball will
be considered at two meetings to-
morrow The new international
League will convene in the forenoon
and later attend joint session with
the National Association of Profess
sional Baseball Association.
In commenting upon the situation, a
prominent minor league manager said
tonight:
The minor leagues have got to look
to the gate in the future for their re-
ceipts and in order to draw the fans
we must have players of merit The
day is past when just as soon as we
develop d minor league star we must
lose him by draft or sale. 1t has been
proved conClusively in recent seasons
that there is no money in developing
and selling baseball players. The fan
is the man who pays the bills, and
unless we cater to him and give him
reasonably high class ball he will not
attend the games. How can we do this
if our best players are taken away
from US each season.
Another minor league veteran, the
president of the lagu, said:
The minors buy three times as
many players from the majors, in dol
lars each season, as the majors do
from the minors. 1t frequently hap
pens that a big league club will draft
one or more players from one Of my
teams and after a short trial will turn
them back to i rival club. thereby
weakening one and Strengthening the
other without regard to conditions in
our league. These are just a few Of
the injustices of the draft at the
present time. Unless the draft is lifted
or revised l am afraid that we have
come TO the parting of the ways
Joe" Tinker, a member of the min
or league committee which is trying
TO procure reforms from the major
leagues, was insistent that the draft
must be lifted.
Tinker intimated that the National
Association of Minor Leagues would
break from the major leagues if the
request for emancipation from the

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS DULL

New York, Jan. 13.-Trading in to-
days stock market was of restricted

Events over the week end seemed to
exert little inuence upon market
values. Rails were again little moved

rector general and utilities made

night of the new year
The cob and flow of the market may
be epitomized in the statement that
shippings. equipments. coppers and Va
rious peace" industrials were heavy,
reacting one to four points, whereas
oils. motors and their subsidiaries, al
so fertilizers and nondescript special

Taken in chronological order the
proceedings will move forward some
what along the following lines: The
New International League will meet
Tuesday forenoon and after a special
session will later attend the afternoon
meeting of the National Association
OF Professional Leagues. At these con-
ferences u number of questions, af-
fcting both the minor leagues and their
relations with the majors, will be
discussed and plan of action prob
ably adopted. The outstanding desire
of the minor leagues appears to be for
the abolition of the draft but diver
gent opinions are held as to the effect
VI SUN 81 lIofS duu IL IS likely that d
compromise will be reached with the
major leagues calling for alterations
in the present draft regulations.
When the National and American
Leagues convene in joint session the
subject for consideration will include
limitation of players salaries, team
rosters and purchase price of stars
going from one major league to ano-
Their. The questions of defining a
limited period for Spring training, re-
construction of the National Commits
sion and new arrangements for the
distribution of World Series receipts
will also be taken up. The 1919
schedules of the two leagues will be
turned over to the proper committees
for routing disposal while the draft
and optional agreements with the
minor leagues will receive proper con-
| sideration.
! The personnel of the National Com
mission will undoubtedly be the sub
| ject of lengthy discussion. The Ma
| tional League is on record as favoring
a one-man commission or a new and
neutral chairman in case the three
man commission is continued. The
American league, as whole, appears
! to hold for continuation of the pres
ent organization. Some of the mag
mates would Hketo fix a similar player
limit for both leagues. Last season

developed from a puny, sickly child
into a strong, robust man. Realizing
the benefits accruing from indulgence
in athletics, he continued to exercise
regularly as long as he was able to.
Just before his last sickness Colonel
Roosevelt spent a fortnight at a Ply
steal culture farm at Stamford.
When he became president Colonel
Roosevelt gave a mild shock to the
advocates of Jeffersonian simplicity
and the worshippers of historic asso-
citation by converting the cabinet room
of the White House into what he
playfully declared the "administra-
tons department of physical culture"
The well known cabinet table
bookcases, maps, globes, clocks, chairs
rugs, bronze and marble busts gave
way to wrestling mats, shields box
ing gloves, falls, single sticks, wire
masks and punching bags.
There Col. Roosevelt used to box
with the late Prof. Mike Donovan,
wrestle with Prof. ]. ]. O'Brien of
Boston and joust with single sticks
with Gen. Leonard Wood It was
there also that President Roosevelt
took jiujitsu lessons from Hitachu-
yami the famous master of the an
cient art of the Samurai On the
tennis court outside the president
daily would engage in matches with
Ambassador Jusserand of France gen
orally as his partner. Across the Po-
| tomac was an open hilly section in
which Col. Roosevelt and Senator
! Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts,
occasionally took cross country runs.
/ President Roosevelt always wos a
| familiar figure at Harvard foot
| ball games and at the boat races in

closely. Just how closely can be seen

If the present opinions are enacted
into regulations it is likely that the
winning and losing club owners in the

turn back fifty percent. of their win
ming to their respective league treas
uries in place of the present twenty
five. The players will also have to
accept different system of apportion-
ment but just what form this will take
