Harrows One of (irrat. Harrow ha won the praise and admiration of the biggest men in baseball for the great fight he made in bfh;ilf of the International league. Tie is glassed as the greatest minor league executive in th business, and in ability and a knowledge of baseball he is practically in the same row with John K. Tener and Dan Johnson. r.etting away from the International is perhaps the best move 1 '.arrow could hae made.

C'ochevety immediately followed v ith a mat linger from the center of the court evening up the count. .Smith then contrihuted one, putting the alumni in the lead. The h school men then began to hit their stride and a passing and good spurt of lever teamwork by Mohn and Sabo soon put them fat j in the lead, the half ending with the score 18 to S in their favor. Score at Will in Next Half. The second half continued as the first had ended, the tan and blue scoring almost at will. The alumni made numerous shifts and substitutions in hi; effort to check the scoring, but were unable to cope with the hrand of teamwork displayed by the youngsters. Capt. s'alx) and Donovan lead the scoring with 24 and 20 points respectively to their credit. Mohn's excellent passing and floor work went a long way to make the large score possible. Ilagerty's two spectacular shots from difficult angles were features o :h came. A little of the same accuracy from the other members of the alumni aggregation would have made things interesting for Coach Cohlmeyer's proteges.

A. college by their athletic ability. O'Donnell undoubtedly the best known of the cmintet was for three vear.s a member of the championship basketball team, being the captain the la.-st two years. He also was a mainstay on the football team. At Springfield he is playing varsity basketball and in a game played early this season he put hi team ahead by lour successive free throws. He al-o was captain of the freshmen football team which won the championship in t'.vo games which were needed to win the championship. O'l-'onnell won them ly drop kicking. "Dutch" Cunningham, midget quarter of last year's football team and captain of the sophomore basketball team played varsity football and lacked but four minutes of making his letter "S." In the Holycross game he made several good gains and tackle.- through the line. He also played good in the St. Aloysius game. Flbel for two years a member of the local football team and assistant physical director at the high school, is captain of the second football team, and made several trips with the lirst team. "Fddie" is manager of track at Spvingtield and will be a good bidder for aposition on next year's varsity football squad. Watters of interclass fame and a man who would have been .a help to this year's high school basketball and football teams, is holding a regular position as guard on the Springfield second team. and will be a strong contender for all the coming sports. McKelvey, who -served as assistant physical director at the Y. M. C. A., made his first team letter in soccer football and also played an

"I was rejoiced when I learned that Pres't Wilson declared war on ustria. be cause America's complete participa tion in the conflict means the ar rayintj of the whole democracy of the world against the central em-1 p;res." said Kliptherio.s Venizelos. premier of Greece, to the Associated Press. America brings not only a contribution of men, but financial forces and moral support. "I am convinced that any proposition of face enminr from thp central empires will increase Pres't ''I1'""? rnriuninin, iiianiiln : great statesman even more cau tious. ' the Greek premier added. M. Venizelos regards the repeated and insistent pacifist attempts of the central empires as a sign of weakness and their belief that final victory will be with the entente allies. The last German military attempt, according to the Greek premier, painfully failed at the Piave which, like the Marne, is the line on which the second great phase of the European war will be decided against the central powers. DENMAN WANTS CHANCE TO ANSWER CHARGES WASHINGTON, Jan. 2. William Denman of San Francisco, whose resignation as chairman of the shipping board, was accepted with that of .Maj. Gen. Goethals as general manager of the emergency fleet corporation, when Pres't Wilson settled the first shipping board row. arrived in Washington today to seek a hearing before the senate commerce committee investigating the government's ship building program.

Hardest Period of War Due Says French Envoy AN ATLANTIC I'OItT, Jan. 2. The entente allies are entering the hardest period of the war. but a period which will prove richest In decisive results "if we know howto play a good game and its issue will be decided in the next six months." according to Capt Andre Tardieu, French high commissioner to the United States, who returned to this country today. He will so j to Washington tomorrow. The com- j missioner first arrived in this coun-J try last May. He returned to France! jn November and hiß government! decided to continue his official title! for a period of six months, While Capt. Tardieu pointed to the possibility of a strong German a.ttack on the western front during this winter, he Is "absolutely confident that it will Verdun" he declared be another in a etatement. The urgency of an enormous economic effort was emphasized by j the French repretientative in this f statement: iloth Mu.t Sacrilicc. "The battle is not only on the battle field 1 have told to the j French, with complete frankness, i what America expects from them in the way of restrictions and new sacrifices. I am coming back to ex- , plain here the necessary sacrifices '. that France and her allies are expecting from America for victory:" Men, wheat, oil. shirks and locomotives are the things most needed and which America is able to give, Capt. Tardieu said. Uy way of tribute to Col. K. M. House, who headed the American mission to the inter-allied war conference in Paris, Capt. Tardieu said: "Thanks to the presence of Col. House and his? associates, the interallied conference has done excellent work. It was necesvsary that the government of the United Mates should assert its will and Its capacity to take, in Kuroi-e the part which belongs to America in the direction of the war." "The French army has never been more magnificent," the "British army equally superb," and the "American army is increasing day by day." Capt. Tardieu said, in speaking of the morale of the allied forces. That he might retain his commissioner-ship to the United States. Capt. Tardieu declined to accept a portfolio In Premier Clemenceau's cabinet. He did this, he said, because he believed nothing is more urging and more necessary than the work to be done through his commlssionership. ALLIES SEND NEW YEAR GREETINGS TO AMERICA WASHINGTON. Jan. '2. The voice of Washington still sounds and he shows the path to triumph through sacrifice, says Pres't Poincare of France, In a new year's greeting to the American people which appears in the new year's edition of the official bulletin.
