Baseball Circle Special to The Telegraph Pittsburgh, Dec. 17. President Barney Dreyfuss announced last night that James J. Callahan, former mana gre of the Chicago White Sox had been appointed manager of the Pitts burgh National League team to suc ceed Fred Clarke, resigned. The appointment of Callahan caused great surprise and bore out Barney Dreyfuss' assertion that the name of liis new manager had never been men tioned in that connection. A week ago it was universally pre dicted that Hans Wagner would be selected, but in New York last Mon day, Dreyfuss said that his famous shortstop was not the man. Who Callahan Is Catcher George Gibson and outfield er Bill Hinchman, Jack Hendricks, of the Indianapolis team, and seevral others, were mentioned in connection with the job. Hendricks and Gibson were the faovrites of the guessers. Callahan's first big league engage ment was with the Phillies many years ago. He failed here and went back to the minors but the Chicago Nation als landed him and he became a star at once. In those days he was a pitch er. When the American League was formed, Callahan jumped to the White Sox. He managed the team In 1903 and part of the season of 1904. Callahan quit the Sox in 1906 and played semi-independent baseball un til 1911 when Owner Comiskey In duced him to return to his team. He maanged the Sox in 1912, 1913 and 1914, but last Spring was deposed in favor of Clarence Rowland. Callahan remained with the White Sox in a business capacity. MONARCH DEFEAT TROJANS The Monarclis last night at Hum melstown defeated the Trojans, score 39 to 31. Hummelstown's young athletes took a lead early and were never in danger. Marlz, Matthews, Leinbach and Landis were stars. The Monarchs want games. The average age of players is 17 years. W. M. Lewis is manager.

Powder Explosions May Be Cleared by Arrest Special to The Telegraph Salem, N. J., Dec. 17.—Detectives of the DuPont Powder Company yes terday arrested John Szdoba, alias Dr. Jacob Swoboda, alias "Louis Hart nian, a former employe of the powder company, who, according to the de tectives and Salem officials, has re cently been acting In a 6 ispicious manner and who, they believe, knows more about the recent explosions at the DuPont plants than he will ad mit. " The prisoner, who is well educated and speaks both French and Ger man, had been under suspicion for two weeks. He was employed in the No. 1 plant of the DuPont Company's plant at Pennsgrove, having secured work there about September 1. NEW YORK'S SKYSCRAPERS VULNERABLE TO FLEET New York could be destroyed by a foreign fleet In two or three hours without coming within range of our harbor forts, according to an article in the January Poplar Science Month ly by Rear Admiral Bradley A. Flske. In commenting upon some remark able pictures showing the destroyed commerce raider Emden, Admiral Flske says: "The destruction wrought upon the Emden, of which these photographs give such gruesome proof, has another interest for us, of a character not philosophic, but eminently practical, because It suggests that if this dam age could be done to a strong, steel structure, like the Emden, what would have happened to buildings. In New York, if they had been the targets instead. And it also suggests what might hatfe been the effect if those buildings had been the targets not of the comparatively small projectile which were fired at the Emden, but of 14-inch projectiles weighing 1,400 pounds, filled with high explosive, fired from a hostile ship. The American fleet having been de feated, a single ship carrying guns able to fire projectiles 15 miles, and protected against submarines by num erous destroyers and by other means, could, in two or three hours, fire into New York from a point beyond the reach of any of our guns, 100 high ex plosive shells, which falling on our streets, power stations, subways, ele vated railroads and skyscrapers, would make the vicinity of Wail street look like these pictures of the Em den.

LJ HARRISBURG S&Sfel TELEGRAPH WELLySMiQORNER Baseball peace will come, but at a high price. There is likely to be an internal revolution before next season starts. James GUmore, president of the Federal League, with a few others, lost heavily on the venture. They must be recompensed for some of the losses. Next will come the players' claims. It looks as if the cost of peace may reach $1,000,000. If Harrisburg is to have baseball next summer, now is the time to get busy. It is a safe bet that in the re adjustment of minor league circuits this city will get recognition. It may be a New York State League offer. It looks good and fans would like to see someone get busy before It is too late. In the efforts to bring about peace American League magnates forgot Frank Baker. Perhaps It was a bad move for Connie Mack to wait until he reached Chicago. Baker may be a star, and there are numerous man agers who would like to have him, but his value in a cash Bale is less than It was a week ago. He might figure well In a trade.

HORSES SOLD FOR EUROPEAN WAR Special to The Telegraph Marietta, Pa., Dec. 17.—Since the European war began over $600,000 worth of horses have been sold in Lancaster county. This does not In clude the sales made for home trade, which is also a heavy one, especially during the summer months. Not all the stock lias been Lancaster county stock, but the sale was made in the county. Animals are greatly in de mand for artillery purposes and the weight of the animals has considerable to do with the class of trade, and these were all of the best. The sale of livestock at the Spring sales will be high. TRAVELETTE By NIKSAH OPORTO Oporto is famous as the city which gave its name to all port wines, as well as to the country of Portugal It is admired for its wealth of semi tropical plants and flowers, for the scenic charm of the Douro river wind ing lazily between green banks and cutting the city in half. To the casual traveler, howeve'r, the thing which most awakens admiration and respect is the Praca de Liberdale. The Praca do Liberdale Is the great square in the heart of Oporto where all the car lines meet. The Praca is admittedly the severest teet of so briety in all Europe. For Portugal has written her name large in history as an exploring and sea-going na tion, so the pavement of this square is laid with black and white bricks to mimic the waves of the ocean. In the glare of a bright sun, these waves seem to heave and toss even to the soberest, while the man who can quaff two bottles of Oporto's own port wine and then walk across the black-and white waves of the Praca de Liber dale, without becoming seasick and losing his courage, is entitled to uni versal respect. A stroll through the streets of Oporto leads between pretty gray and whito houses on either hand, set back from the streets in gardens bright with flowers. There are even many date palms, bearing out the tropical illusion, so that with the sea breeze blowing up from the west it is hard to realize that one is still in Europe. This combination of flowers, palms, and the sea is reminiscent rather of Africa or the Friendly Islands than the Spanish peninsula. Oporto is a city of churches. There are ancient cathedrals of slim sweep ing gothic beauty, and cloisters even older, built In tho days of simpler line. It is no wonder that lowers of architecture the world over come lere to worship and to admire.

The writer says: "One of the most interesting facts brought out in Germany's submarine campaign against British commerce was the accuracy with which the Brit ish guns were trained upon occasional indiscreet periscopes. "The periscope tube is small, and an especially difficult target at long range, yet on a few occasions oc casions which were so recurrent that the accuracy could not be attributed to accident—British guns have de molished periscopes, thereby render ing the submersible helpless an easy prey when she came to the sur face. "Nor can this remarkable ac curacy be attributed entirely to the correctness of the gun design. The fact of the matter Is that the British method of rangfinding, aside from being one of the most Interesting, is JL Make This an srxSi Electrical Xmas | .iW.
