Smith is only a youngster, but he is full or fight, and that is what the Toronto team needed last year. Smith's greatest asset is his fielding ability and his great throwing from deep short last season cut off many a batter.

Smith has his off days in the field, and on these occasions is very bad, but when in form he is above the average. It is his lack of hitting ability that has kept him out of the majors. Toronto Fifty-four Toronto rinks have entered the competition for the Canada.

"Chief" Bender, the prominent Indian pitcher, and once a member of the famous Athletics, is facing a charge of manslaughter because the automobile owned by Bender was responsible for the death of a boy in Philadelphia on Saturday night. a It is reported that Bender has surrendered to the detective bureau and is to be given a hearing at once. Bender was not driving the car, but a was in it at the time, and it is his property. The police that the driver, after did not charge, stop, but turned down a side street at high speed. The boy died after being taken to a hospital by another car.

DARCY-M'COY BOUT OFF Dispute As to Rights Aired Before Boxing Commission. New York, Feb. for Lea Darcy, the Australian champion, to make his initial appearance in all American ring by meeting Al McCoy here March 5, are off for the time being. At a. hearing before the boxing commission, the rival claimants of McCoy's services presented their cases, and Commissioners Wencke and Franey promptly disagreed as to whether the Broadway Sporting Club had a binding contract.

Another meeting will be held tomorrow, when the third commissioner, Dwyer, is expected to be present and a final ruling announced. In the meantime, however, Grant Hugh Brown said he regarded the fight as off. He added he was glad of it, as every indication was that it would not be a money-maker. Brown now wants to match Darcy with George Chip or Billy Miske, preferably the later. The Broadway Club claimed a prior right to the service of McCoy through a verbal contract with him, calling for a fight with Jack Dillon.

John Weisementel insisted McCoy should fill this date before appearing against Darcy. Chairman cke held this contract binding, and said the Darcy-McCoy fight would have to be called off. Franey took the other side of the argument. OFF SIDE EVEN IN A PROHIBITION TOWN A PRIZEFIGHTER CAN GET GROGGY. About as much excuse for indoor golf as there is for outdoor chess.

Smoking is now prohibited at boxing matches, but they can't stop you from taking a pinochle deck along. Pittsburg had better think twice before slapping a rookie into Hans Wagner's place. A new broom sweeps clean, but an old vaccum cleaner is always on the job. If baseball is going to be slipped such an awful hard slap, why doesn't Ban Johnson get out an injunction against the war? The three leading billiard players of the United States are Willie Hoppe, Willie Hoppe and old man Hoppe's son Willie. Boxing hasn't changed much from the old days.

You hear of very few modern boxers getting knocked out in less than one punch. Along about July, Connie Mack will be trying to trade Ping Bodie for a ballplayer. Johnny Dundee can't have Willie Jackson pinched for forgery though Willie slipped him I even a bad check over in Philly. Between seven American League clubs in summer and Clark Griffith, the East manages to enjoy all-yearround baseball. Good thing the ballplayers didn't get in the labor union.

IN 51ST DECIDES TO GIVE PRIZES FOR FOOD PRODUCTION IN ANSWER TO GOV'T Will Build 1,700 Feet of Sewers on Four Streets This Year SOME LANGUAGE ON MOODY STREET The Knotty Problem of Salaries Once Again Tackled and Settled Steelton wants a company of the 51st Soo Rifles and it is prepared to raise the men and incidentally make an effort to provide the regiment with a band. At last night's council meeting presided over by Mayor Stringer, at which all the councillors were present a resolution offered by Couns. Baldwin and Muncaster was passed authorizing the clerk to write to Major Wilson assuring him of the good will of the council in his efforts to bring the regiment up to strength and offer ing to raise a company in Steelton, the company to be officered by Steelton men. Coun. Baldwin went on to elaborate his motion and suggested that enough musicians be recruited in the proposed company to have a band for the regiment.

The mayor thought the idea a fine one and Coun. Lyon agreed that it was but wanted to know if the movers had made any enquiries about what the probable support for the idea would get from men in Steelton. Coun. Baldwin said he felt satisfied from enquiries he had made that the men could be raised. "It is a mighty poor kind of a man who won't enlist for home defence," he said.

Couns. Young and Bettke are members of the 51st, the first named having drilled for two years and the latter for about a year and a half before the drills ceased last summer. "There was always a good crowd out when I went," said Coun. Bettke, "but the armory was too crowded with the overseas men getting trained." Coun. Young said the old difficulty was the difficulty of getting the men out to drill.

The mayor, who had himself drilled at the armory, hoped there would be a big response by everybody. "It helps a man physically," he said. The company would be principally raised at the Steel Plant, it was thought. The mayor felt that Major Wilson would be glad to accept the offer. To Stimulate Production.

A second "war measure" taken by the council was to appoint Coun. Baldwin a committee of one to report at the next meeting olt the best way to stimulate the production of food in Steelton. The mayor read a long appeal from the Minister of Agriculture at Ottawa, Hon. Martin Burrell, asking municipalities to endeavor to get everybody to raise all the vegetables this year possible. Food, he said, will be scarce and dear, and there should be no half hearted measures in Canada's endeavors to supply itself and help supply the Allies.

Everybody must help and every foot of land must be used that there is labor, skilled or unskilled, to till. The vital need must be impressed on the people. No one can tell what the food situation may be next winter. It was a variation of Napoleon's famous order: "Everybody must march." Everybody must cultivate the ground this year, and there must be no slackers. The mayor suggested that the council might give several prizes for the best gardens.

Coun. Lyons thought the prize should be substantial and it should be for production. "Let people grow what they like, potatoes, turnips, cabbage, or any thing else they like and give the prize for the most stuff raised on a lot say 40 120 feet." Coun. Baldwin said he had been considering the matter since the beginning of the year, but as yet he had nothing definite in his mind to offer the council. "We might perhaps provide free seed as there may be difficulty in procuring supplies.

Then we should especially try to interest the children as the adults may not have the time. Then again if the council agreed to do all inal the charge ploughing it would necessary help. We at a should nom- endeavor to co- operate with the agricultural society if it intends to take Coun. Baldwin said that it would be necessary to strictly enforce the cow by-law or provide fencing for some lots. A lot of dogs too would have to be destroyed.

While food will go to high prices, it was not the cost that I counted, but the necessity of raising the food. He thought that in some cases it might not be profitable for the householder to put in a garden, but the cost of gardening could not be considered this year. Mayor Stringer suggested that the matter be laid over to the next meet ing and appointed Coun. Baldwin a committee to draw up a program for the council to consider. 'Coun.

Lyon thought there would be 110 difficulty about people getting seed which cost very little. He was in favor of the garden which raised the most in dollars getting the prize. He instanced the good examples of Mes srs Hancock and Sherwood as showing the wonderful production that everybody might imitate. A Mater of Salaries This resolution by Coun. Lyons and Reed was passed: "That owing to the fact that there is 8.

ORDERS. British House Had Been Awarded Business Originally. Washington, Feb. Contracts for navy projectiles which had been let to Hadfield's Limited, an English concern, were given to the Midvale, Steel Company, the Washington Steel and Ordnance Company and the Crucible Steel Company. Hadfields was prevented by the British Government from accepting the contract for 4,600 projectiles which had been awarded by the Navy Department at a much smaller price per shell, and with quicker delivery than American offers.

Award of the contracts today to the three American firms terminated a controversy between the navy and American ammunition makers. Representatives of the companies and department reached an agreement on a flat price of $500 per shell. That is an increase over the price of similar orders in previous years, but aggregate $447,500 less than the former total bid. Contracts awarded the three American firms aggregate 14,200 fourteen -inch armor-piercing shells. The companies guaranteed delivery in reduced time.

The Midvale company will make 5,000 shells, the Crucible 5,000 and the Washington Co. 4,200. THREE BUDAPEST NEWSPAPERS CONDEMN U-BOAT WAR; KAROLYI OPPOSES IT Berne, Feb. 21. (per wireless British Admiralty.

-Three Budapest newspapers condemn submarine warfare. The Pesti-Naplo attacks Count von Reventlow as the principal exponent of submarine warfare and demands that he be placed in restraint. The Socialist organ, Nepsvava, attacks Admiral von Tirpitz and demands a cessation of what it calls "murder at sea. The Pesti-Hirlay publishes expressions from thise members of the Chamber of Deputies who are opposed to submarine wartare. One of them is quoted as saying, "We made the whole world turn against us," and another, "All American countries are joining our enemies.

This is sheer Count Karolyi, leader of the Hungarian Independent Party, the newspaper adds, said: "I regret deeply the phase of the war into we entered with; the deeTaration of submarine warfare." The fact that the Greeks are not handing over to the allies their hidden rifles is causing disquiet. Michigan Soo SOO WERE WINNERS IN GAME LAST NIGHT The Soo Michigan Hockey took the second of the two games exhibition hockey played here, last evening, Minneapolis series, Club with a score of eight to three. The game started with a bang which gave the spectators every son to expect a battle that would be full of sensations which this game really was for the earlier part of the first period but Minneapolis seven seemed to have had it thoroughly impressed upon themselves that in as much as the game was only an exhibition and not a league game they should not unnecessarily lay themselves open to injury from the punishment that Levi Godin, of the Soo, was dealing out. The Soo all around were working much better than in the first game while the visitors did not display nearly the same ability. The Minneapolis forward line repeatedly endeavored to break away but their rushes were nearly always nipped in the bud, while Wright in the goal had a time on account of the poor defence, work by Kahler and Mergens.

Kahler did not play anything like the same brand of hockey he displayed here in former years, when on the forward line. Parselle did good work in the Soo net and seems to show great improvement in every game. Minneapolis Soo, Mich.

Sport- There have been better games of hockey played at the Toronto Arena this winter, but none has been more exciting than the O. H. A.

junior contest on Saturday night between Aura Lee and Kingston. There was more rough play than is, usual in junior games, and the result was a very hard contest for Referee Bernhardt to handle. There was much hard body checking on both sides, and the forwards were a bruised-up lot after the, In the last ten minutes of play both teams were so tired that few dangerous attacks were made on either goal.

It followed on a discovery that the recent conference about salaries didnt' settle much. The council had met and argued the whole of salaries and fees out to its own satisfaction. An advance or two matter was made and then the councillors heaved a sight of relief. But the was a little premature. The men mostly concerned, -the policemen and others thought conclusions arrived at by the council quite defective in some respects.

Mayor Stringer explained when Coun. Bettke stated that 1 none of the firemen felt like driving the extra horse bought by the town for doing general work for the town that the only reason the firemen had been asked to do the driving was out of consideration for themselves. The council did not wish to discharge any of the men altho there was one man too many at the hall and proposed that the extra man should take on the driving. Of course is no one at the firehall wanted to do this, there was no alternative but to discharge one man. Policeman Sherwood wanted $85 a month.

He had given four years service. This brought up the matter of policemen's stipends After a long discussion it was decided on motion of Couns. Lyons and Reid to change the by-law for engaging policemen to provide advance of $5 per month each year for four years, the minimum pay to be $70 a month. This gives a man $90 a month after four years service. Then Couns.

Bettke and Reid moved that the fire chief get a $5 advance. Coun. Muncaster said that the committee of the whole had already approved of this. Coun. Baldwin and Young moved in amendment that the salaries in question be taken up in committee.

The motion was carried. Someone hinted that Mr. Gilroy wouldnt' object to another modest advance. However, he was offered a concession of another kind. It was decided to move the switchboard from the substation to the firehall and arrangements be made to have Mr.

Gilroy live there instead of at, the substation. Turgid Language Justified An Italian resident named Signor Muzzin gave the council quite a fluent exhibition of Italio-English. 'It was all about the condition of Moody street, and in passing it may as well be admitted that no man can do justice to the sad condition of the thoroughfare who has not command of at least two languages. Mr. Muzzin considered the expression "what a 'ell" an integral part of the English language and he used it freely.

In left it out ef no opertune into which he could interject it whether it fitted or not. As a word artist, Mayor Stringer considered him well qualified to convey the actual condition of the street. Having only a limited knowledge of Latin roots the reporter had difficulty in following his arguments, a long experience with back streets provided the feeling that was necesary to interpret, his oratory. 'ell kinda peop' you tink liva on dat street, you tink, eh? I pay schood tax and can't send my kids out for five mont's in de year. What a 'ell, etc, etc.

Mr. Muzzin wasn't at all angry; he just tried to be convincing in a con versational way, and in a manner succeeded. However, His Worship casually explained that the conventions must be observed but that as soon as conditions would permit, the street would be looked over. Sewer Construction About twenty houseowners on Bush and Morin streets asked have 3 sewer built. The council decided to go ahead with the work and to include parts of Hudson and Beverely streets in the job.

The total amount of sewers will be about 1,700 feet. Private drain connections to vacant lots will not be put in, however. The Ladies Are Grateful. The women of Steelton sent in a letof thanks to the council for its support of their petition for the franchise in Ontario. The council gave the ladies the free use of the town hall during their canvas for names and in other showed a lively sympathy.
