PALZER MOST PROMISING.
New York Haavweight Springs Into
Prominenoe Among the ' "White
Hopes."
Of the two new heavyweights In the
ganae we might say Al Falser of New
York Is the most promising-, is the
opinion of a western sporting: author
ity. At least he has not been teaten
and has done more tii lift himself to
the top of the heavyweight division,
inasmuch as ha . has beaten Al Kauf
man, considered a better man than any
Morris has whipped.
P&lzer looks to be the real class in
fighting- stock. Of course he needs ex
perience and a lot of it, but he did
mighty well to finish Kaufman in five
round. O'Rourke is managing the big
Iowa farmer and will have him at the
top in a short time if such a thing is
possible.
Palser is built & little on the order of
Boh FltxKlmmons. He has very small
lejs, ordinary hips, big shoulders and
a long reach. He weighs more than
fits did when the "human, freckle" was
fighting- for tha championship and tills
is to his advantage.
Palser has never been knocked out
He started in the game about a year
ago and was nursed along by O'Rourke
untu ne oegan to show some promise.
Then he was sent against some fair
heavyweight boxers In the east and
frrtade good wttii a vengeance. His first
important engagement was with Ken
nedy, and Tom outpointed him- slight
ly, but It was a hard ten round battle.
After boxing Kennedy, Palzer looked
io have tha proper experience to do
omething. Ha was therefore sent
against Al Kaufmaa and he surprised
the fistic world by finishing- the big
Califomian in five rounds One year
ago Kaufman was consideted the only
logical man to send against Johnson.
So Palter has really done as much as
has Flynn in the way of whipping; real
good opponents. Flynn whipped Kauf
man in ten rounds, the fatal punch
being sent over In the last session.
Cubs Produce Managers.
Six men who have played with the
Chicago Cubs will be managers of big
league teams this year Clark Griffith,
Jimmy Callahan, Frank- Chance, Bill
Dahlen, Johnny KJlng and Hairy Wol
verton. They are evently scattered be
tween the two Dig leagues. Griffith, was
the first to break into the managerial
game, and was followed by Callahan,
who led until Fielder Jones took the
job with the White Sox. Chance was
the third to try his hand as a leader.
Bill Dahlen Jumped Into the managing
end In 1819. Wohrerton has had main
minor league Jobs as manager, while
Johnny Kllng will make his start with
the Boston Nationals.

John B. Answers Baltic.
Mr. Editor: In answer to the inquiry
regarding the game between Baltic and
the U. S. Finishing Co. last Saturday,
I will say that I did not award the
Finishing company a point because
Dumfield was covering- a man with the
ball out of bounds, as the inquiry osks
for; but the point was awarded be
cause Dumfield after being repeatedly
warned to stay inside the off-side lines
while the man from the opposing team
was throwing the ball in, and not
heeding the warning, the Baltic team
was penalised one point for delaying
the game. Next time the inquirer had
better stick his head under the show
er bath before the game starts and he
will then probably hear things right

FINANCIAL AND
MARKET MUCH WEAKER.
Stocks Under Moderate Pressure but
Losses Were Smaller.
New York, Jan. 17. Although there
was no decided disturbance of the
level of prices, the stock market to
day was appreciably weaker. The list
lacked the undertone of firmness o
the earlier days of the week. Stocks
were under moderate pressure most of
the day, but losses were small, and
Union Pacific and Canadian Pacific
were the only prominent Issues which
receded as much as a point The
movement was listless, without ag
gressive action on either side. To
ward the close the demand Improved
aid the earlier losses were quite gen
erally recovered.
The increased demand for invest
ment iBsires was perhaps the most sig
nificant feature of the day. The de
mand was apparent in both bonds and
the higher grade of investment stocks.
Buying by financial Institutions which
are unable to loan funds at profitable
rates, owing to the condition of the
money market. Is a considerable fac
tor in the situation. A good Inquiry
for the new Rock Island bonds, both
at home and abroad, was reported.
The reception of this issue, the first
actual marketing of bonds on a large
scale of the year, was awaited with
keen interest as a test of the market
With its success indicated, it is re
garded as probable that other rail
road Issues will be announced soon.
The tobacco stocks and bonds and
the coalers, of late the active features
of the list, again were the strongest
issues, although their rains were
smaller than on yesterday. The Am
erican Tobacco preferred old and new
stocks, the Liggett and Myers Issues,
Lorillard preferred and American
Snuff preferred rose from two to five
points each. Among the coalers, Cen
tral Railroad of New Jersey wa
marked up four points to 337, another
high record price. The movement in
the tobacco stocks was niguy spec
ulative, being attributed to manipula
tion in connection, with the marketlnfi
of the new tobacco issues. National
Biscuit rose four points to 148, a new
high record, and several others of the
specialties gained lesser amounts.
American Maltinr preferred made a
three-point gain. Missouri Pacific waa

TO NUMBER BALL PLAYERS.
Gives Fans Chance to Tell Who is at
Bat
Directors of the Pacific Coast Base
ball league at their annual meeting
have adopted a schedule and decided
to number all players.
According to plan agreed upon, each
player will wear on his left sleeve a
number assigned to him. This number
also will appear upon the score card.
Thus when a player is replaced or
when, until the game Btarts, there is
doubt as to who will play any posi
tion, reference to the score card will
show the spectator who the player is.
The season will open April 2 and
close Oct. 27. The double umpire sys
tem will obtain, Perie Casey, formerly
of the Portland team, and Sam Mertes,
an ex-National leaguer, having been
added to last year's staff. Another
umpire is to be chosen.
Funeral of Lofty Marr.
New Britain, Conn., Jan. 16.-The
funeral of Charles (Lefty) Marr, the
idol of the Cincinnati baseball fans in
1890 and 1891, was held this afternoon,
burial being in Fairview cemetery. The
once great batter and fielder was low
ered into a lonely g-rave, unattended
by friends. There was no one to shed
ft tear, no one to grieve at the death of
the man who had once set the base
ball world on fire by his phenomenal
batting and fielding. The only persons
at the cemetery were the undertaker
and his assistants. There was no cere
money. The body was lowered to its
final resting place, and "Lefty" Marr
was but a memory.

YEAR OF SPEED
IN AUTO RACING.
Great Records Made on Track and
' Road Burman's Mile in 25.4 the
Sensation. -'
Pessimists who have been raising an
outcry as to the decline of interest in
motor contests must "pull in their
horns" if they calmly review the situa
tion and -give an unbiased opinion. Mo
toring had a great year, and 1911 will
go down in hiBtory as-one of the great
est the sport has ever known, says the
Chicago Tribune. In only a few
branches was there any falling off in
the number of contests, and those are
the ones which the pessimists insist
are the most desirable reliability runs
and hill climbs. There were Just as
many road races more, in fact than
in 1910 and while there were not quita
as many manufacturers supporting, the
sport as there used to be, still, the pro
moters are not complaining. Hill
climbs suffered most of all, but that is
because there are- really few good
grades in this country that can be
used for the purpose. There were not
so many reliabilities, it is true, but
those that were run off were of the su
perior sort, the kind that really benefit
the industry.
Probably the most sensational per
formance of 1911 was the mile straight
away record created at Daytona, i'la.,
by Bob Burman in the Blitzen Benz,
whose 25.4 seconds is equal to the
startling pace of 142 miles an hour. An
other demonstration of the speed of
the motor car was shown at Santa
Monica, Cal., last October, when Har
vey Herriek, in a National, smasiied
the world's record of 74.4 miles an
hour, which had stoon since 1908, w.'icn
Nazzaro, in a Fiat, established the
mark in Italy, raising the standard to
74.62 miles an hour. This was at a
distance of 208 miles, . and that the
breed" of the automobile has been im
proved wa3 further instanced at Sa
vannah, where Ralph Mulford won th
Vanderbilt in a Lozier, with an aver
age of 74.09 miles an hour, while in the
Grand Prix, David Bruce-Brown, in a
Fiat, averaged 74.45 miles an hour for
411 miles.
That the Nazzaro high-water mark
is easily negotiable is instanced not
only in those cases, but from the fact
that in the 26 road races that were
run in this country in 1911. there were
16 cars that averaged better than 70
miles an hour. Of the 20 road races
there weie about half a dozen that can
be regarded as premier events: the
others were curtain raisers to the Mi
shows. The Grand Prix, being an In
ternational race, naturally attracted
the most attention. That saw David
Bruce-Brown in a Flat in a "come
back'1 role, e won in 1910 anHd re
peated in 1911. Harry Grant tried hard
to win the Vanderbilt for the third
time, but the cup went to his team
mate, Mulford, in a Lozier. The Elgin
National, the stock car champiosnhip,
was won by Zengol in a National,
while the fourth of the big classics, the
Fnirmount park road race at Philadel
phia, was taken by Erwin Bergdoll, a
young millionaire, who drove a Benz to
victory.- Out on the Pacific coast they
had two doad meets. At Oakland Bert
Dlngley, in a Pope-Hartford, won the
free for all, while at Santa Monica this
honor fell to Harvey Herriek in a Na
tional, and brought about the creation
of a new world's record.

"It has. always been a puzzle to his
torians where the Irish race acquired
its fighting spirit, and many noted
writers have tried to solve this much
disputed question without any decided
result," says veteran Jack Sk.illy, re
viewing the history of the Emerald i
Lsle.
"Did you ever notice how many of
the modern English star fighters are
oC Irish blood? Charley Mitchell, who
fought John L. Sullivan two battles,
told me his mother was of Celtic birth.
Bob Fitzsimmons, Austin Carey, Jem
Canney, onoe the lightweight champion
of England, Jack Burke, B"Tank Mur
phy, Owen Moran, Paddy Gorman, Jim
Driscoll and many others also were of
Irish parentage.
"If you ask me to recall some noted
pugilists who first saw the light of day
on tha ould sod I'd name such men as
Dan Donnelly, Jack Randall Joe Oo
burn. Jack Dempsey, Jack McAullffe,
Dave and his brother. Spike Sullivan,
Jimmy Elliott, Dave Barry, Tom Shar
key, Peter Maher, Willie Fltsgerald,
George Gardner and his brother Jim,
Steve Taylor, whose real name was
John Mahan, and many others who are
dead and forgotten in this hustling age.
"Soma twenty yeans ago Australia
sent over to this country a fine bunch
of fighting men, most of whom I claim

others who proved themselves good

As a general proposition the tir e made
was better than it was in 1910. There
were also 6 road races during the sea
son. One of the best means of identifica
tion of an old car is by the amount of
noise issuing from the gear case. To
make old gears run more silently, put
about half a cupful of very fine cedar
sawdust and about as much flaked
graphite into the gear case with the
usual amount of grease. This will not
harm the gears in the least, while ef
fectively curing the evil.

China seems to have awaketfsd to
the need for modern improvements in
many ways. In a recent isfsye of a
publication in Shanghai appeared tha
following: "Though regret would be
felt at losing sight of the China pony
galloping with the red wagon through
dense Shanghai traffic, the fact cannot
be ignored that te superior power and
effective brakes of the motor Impelled
fire engine allow of BO per cent greater
speed with probably 100 per cent, mora
safety to passersby, and It Is j be
hoped that Shanghai will soon possess
none but motor propelled fire fighting
appliances."
When a brake approaohes the limit
allowed for adjustment, have the blocke
renewed.

do not coincide with facts should sub

test." was illustrated with slides, was tha
second of the series of illustrated lec
tures which will make up the season's
special course. Mr. Bowdish is secre
tary for New Jersey of the Auduiboa
society and is a game wardeiu His
slides showed that he Is a pretty good
amateur photographer. Tho speaker
was introduced by H. P. Meech, who
called attention to the next lecture. In
February, on Sea Birds, by Edward H.
Forbush, state ornithologist of Massa
chusetts. As usual with illustrated lectures,
the slides told most of the story, but
the adventure which the speaker un
derwent In taking the photographs
which he displayed were unuaual and
the audience was much interested.
The first scenes were of birds which
Mr. Bowdish was able to snap near
his home, many of them being- take
in an old orchard. In one case In at
tempting td photograph some mourn
ing doves the camera was left in po
sition over night in order to get tha
birds accustomed to the strange ob
ject Mr. Bowdish used a blind of
bark for hie camera in many cases.
The plan which Is most successful is
to take the birds wfaile they are
brooding young, for they are the tam
est and least timid at this time. Tha
males or some bird species showed
more faithfulness in attending to tha
nesta than the females.
The photographs reqoired hours of
patient waiting, and during these
hours Mr. Bowdish was able to study
the habits of the birds. Birds enter
ing holes in trees show great caution
oeiore entering. There is as muoh dif
ference In individual birds as in Indi
vidual people in their timidity, A
barn owl which waa captured mads
