N YEW YORK, February e.-With
M their financial difficulties sp.
Y parently well on the way TO
settlement, Emil e. Fuchs
firmly entrenched as president and
Bill McKechnie definitely assured the
job as manager, the Boston Braves
were in position today to make plans
for the 1885 pennant race in the
National League.
The clubs tangled affairs were un-
raveled to a great extent yesterday
when the National League signed the
renewal Of the lease on Braves Field
for the next IL years, thus eliminat-
ing any possibility that dog racing or
any other conflicting activity would
invade the park before 1946.
The lease, said to have been made
at substantial saving, then was
turned over to the Boston club.
Fuchs. who was given a vote Of
confidence by the league owners, an.
nounced that substantial progress"
had been made in Strengthening out
the Braves financial situation, and
that he hoped to have all of the clubs

TIE ALSO disclosed that the ad-
vance sale Of tickets already had
| netted $43 900, Of which $4,000
was cash in hand.
From Fuchs came the assurance
that McKechnie, manager of the
Braves for the last five years, again
would be at the helm.
As to the possibility of Babe Ruth
being sought in some capacity, he
declined to comment.
All L can say about that Is Nc
Kechnie will be manager" said
Fuchs. Il hope to have McKechnie
in charge of the team as long as
am in control of the club"
Fuchs revealed for the first time
that much of the clubs difficulties Of
the last few months could have been
eliminated had the Braves listened 70

Brandt and Wally Berger, hard-hit-
ting outfielder.
But We simply would not do that"
| he said, because the fans of Boston
always have supported us Loyalty and
we decided We would not let them
down like that, no matter what hap
pened. We are keeping all Of our

it has been decided to conduct search

set for the search problem for the

during the regular drill period starting
at 10 o'clock in the morning. In
order to aid the radio men to find the
station the following information has
been furnished them:
Maximum power in-put watts:
frequently between $500 and $500
kilocycles; location, somewhere in the
District Of Columbia; operation, the

Quency, all communications between
units, also kilocycles: method, in
structions will be handled by each unit
commander during the first Is minutes
Of problem.
Lieut. Nicholson has informed all
communication Reservists that every
man should make an effort to be pres
ent in order that the District may
receive q satisfactory mark for the
month.
With the Destroyer Leary scheduled
to remain here only a few more weeks,
officers of the local battalion are plan
ming to make every possible use of her
for drill purposes. The extremely cold
weather and snowfall has made it al
most impossible for the men to take
their regular drills aboard the ship,
especially the deck force where they
would have to operate in the open.
The result has been that they have
not received as much training as they
would have If the weather had been
moderate. However, the engineer
ratings Of the battalion have been TAX
ing full advantage Of the presence of
the ship here. Each drill night the
men in these sections have been taken
into the engine and fire rooms and
every detail of operation has been
studied under the direction of the
chief engineer and the officers of the
ship.
1t is the hope of the battalion off,
GERS that the weather will moderate
somewhat so that the deck force can
be taken aboard the vessel each drill
night from now until the time sched-
uled for the vessel to leave for Balti-
more, where she will remain for a
number of weeks, training the officers
Of the Reserves.
