HUCHEY JENNINGS IS NOW
MENTIONED FOR YANKEES
Detroit Manager Is Latest Candidate
Under the Ownership of Colonel
Jacob Euppert—Donovan to Get
His Job With Tigers
New York, Dec. 15.—Hugh. Jen
nings, manager of the Detroit Club, is
the latest prospective candidate for the
management of the New York High
landers, under the ownership of Jacob
Ruppert, the brewer. Should Jennings
come to New York, "Wild Bill" Don
ovan. who has been handling the Provi
dence club of the International League
as a side issue for Frank J. Navin,
will be given charge of the Tigers.
Jennings is believed to be the man
whom Ban Johnson referred to when
he declared, just before leaving New
York for home, that the name of the
new manager of the Highlanders would
cause something of a surprise in base
ball.
Captain Huston, who is to be asso
ciated with Colonel Ruppert in the
ownership of the Highlanders, was
brought into "lose touch with Jennings
last week by John McGraw.
Jennings "has led the Detroit Tigers
for eight years. He won three pennants
and has always had a fighting team.
Some critics have ascribed his success
to the presence of Ty Cobb on the team,
but Hughey has won without Cobb. He
is a fighter on the field, a pleasant gen
tleman off, and a rare diplomat at all
times. Such a man would undoubtedly
give the Yankees much prestige right at
the beginning of their reconstruction
and make New York a big city iu the
American League, as it is in the Na
tional.
Baseball men agree that John Mc-
Graw has been the greatest asset the
National League ever had, because he
made New York profitable for every
visiting club and the Giants the best
drawing card on the road. If Jennings
can in any measure duplicate McGraw's
success along these lines the American
League will he justified in making any
sacrifice to get him here.
When Navin purchased the Provi-!
'ience Club he sent Donovan from De
troit as manager, and later put him atj
the head of the club. Last summer Jo
seph .T. Lannin, president of the Boston
American League Club, bought the
Providence Club from Navin. Donovan
has not been reengaged as manager. He
is seeking a major league berth and I
would prefer Detroit of all cities be-!
cause of his former connection with the
Tigers.
It is believed that if the New York j
Club will give up Fritz Maisel and;
three or four others Donovan can make
a strong contender of the Tigers next!
season, leaving Jennings free to reeon-i
struct the \aukees with material con
tributed by other American League
clubs and picked up by capable scouts.
The Tigers need a third baseman bad
ly as George Moriarty has seen his best
days.
'' I would rather have Jennings and
no team, Captain Huston is reported
as saying, "than a lot of ball players!
and no Jennings."

BELGRADE IS RETAKEN BY
SERVIANS IN FIERCE FIGHT
London, Dee. 16, 1.25 A. IM.—The
Servians, after a fierce battle, have re
occupied (Belgrade, according to a Nish
dispatch to Reuter's Telegram Company
A striking feature of the day's offi
cial news is the candid admission by
the Austrian government of the derfea't
of the Austrian army in iServia and ap
parently of the abandonment of its
third attempt to invade the territory of
its BinX.ll Slav neighbor.
While attributing the failure to the
enemy's superior force, a* all govern
ment bulletins explain failures, the Aus
trian War Office announces plainly an
exteuded retirement and heavy losses.
"New decisions and measures conse
quently will 'be taken to repel tlhe en
emy," savs the Austrian statement. Ap
parently this means that the Austrian
army directed against Seryia will as
sume a defensive line.
The Servians claim to 'be pressing
home their victory with more captures
of prisoners and to have driven part
of the invading army across the Dritia
river. Moreover, they express confi
dence that they are a'botit to retake the
capital and expel the invaders from
Servian territory.
Rome, Dec. 15.—Both French and
Russian infantry are fighting in t'he
armies of Servia and Montenegro, ac
cording to a dispatch from Prague to
tlhe "Giornale D'ltalia."
Three different times since the war
began, it has tieen reported that troops
have been sent to reinforce the .Ser
vians, in the latter .part of November
a dispatch from Sofia to London said
that fifteen Russian regiments had made
the trip by boat up the anbe, through
Rumania and between Rumania and
Bulgaria to the Servian 'border.
Ten days ago the Central News cor
respondent at Amsterdam forwarded a
report from Berlin that transports, con
voyed by French and British ships, had
landed troops at Antivari, on tfoe Mon
tenegrin coast. It was later asserted,
although without apparent authority,
that these troops were Russians who
had made the loug .journey "by sea from
Archangel. It is at least a striking co
incidence that the successful resump
tion of the Servian offensive occurred
a few days after the reported arrival of
the transports at Antivari.
PORIUCALmWMISTRY

Lisbon, Dec. 14, Via Paris, Dec. 15,
[ f.45 A. .Vl.—The Chamber of Deputies
j to-day adopted a resolution declaring
its confidence in the new Ministry bv

The new Portuguese Cabinet has
'been in office only a few days. It is
headed by Victor Coutinh as Premier.
The new ministerial declaration was
read in Parliament yesterday by the
Premier. Its chief points were a de
fense oi' the republican regime and it
called for the execution of various
measures and resolutions voted by the
Portuguese Parliament on November
23 concerning the participation of the
country in the war in Europe or other
parts of the world where Portugal map

fense of territory or by reason of

GERMANS MuLE OVER

Berlin, Dec. 15, by Wireless to Lon

of telegrams exchanged between Emper
or William and Johannes Kaempf, Pres
ident of ihe Reichstag, regarding the
naval battle off the Falkland Islands.
In answer to the telegram of Presi
dent Kaempf regarding the German
loss in this battle, in which Ilerr
Kaempf said that the nation was one :
with the Emperor in grief at the loss
and with pride at the heroic deaths re-1
suiting from the fight, the Emperor
said:
"May the heavy oifers we have been
forced to make in this battle for

a single aim that, supported bv an un

\\ hose gracious hand we humbly re
ceive fortune, misfortune, joy and sor

FRENCH EASILY REPULSED

Berlin, by Wireless to Sayville, Dee.

'headquarters late last night said:
"The French have nuule weak at

INDICATED BY PURCHASES
New York, Dec. 15.—Persistent pur
chases in the United States of supplies
of all kinds by the Greek government
since teh beginning of the European war
have convinced manufacturers and ex
porters here that Greece is making de
liberate preparations to enter the war
in the not distant future. As nearly as
could be estimated yesterday by per
sons conversant with the situation it
was figured that the 'Hellenic govern
ment has expended $10,000,0*00 in the
United States since September.
'Local custom house export figures for
September and October last, with No
vember estimated, fix the total exports
from this port alone to Greece in the

5 FRENCH STILL ATTACKING THE GERMAN LINES BETWEEN ST. MIHIEL AND METZ. \
£ In the light of the latest IVrlin official despatches, which mention Apreraont as held by the Germans J
f sfter a silence of weeks, it is evident that the French artillery attack on Deuxuoux was made from the west ♦
[ and not from the south, so that the Germans still hold the road from St. Mihiel to Metz, though sorely t

DICKS ARE USED BY SPIES
TO SIGNAL THE SERVIAN ARMY
Correspondence of the Associated Press.
Mitrovitz, Croatia, Dee. 1. — are
now convinced that the employment of
ducks as allies is a "quack" system of
strategy. Their spies in this town,
which is Austrian territorially, but
| -Serb to the core, used ducks on the
Kiver Save to indicate the strength of
the Austrians to their friends, the
Servians on the other side. The num
ber of companies of Austrians in
'.Mitrovitz was indicated 'by the number
of docks let loose to swim on the Save.
One day fhere were no ducks. The
Austrians had apparently evacuated,
and a division of 17,000 Sorbs marched
in. That night while they were cele
brating their occupation of'the town the
Austrians swooped down and took 14,-
000 prisoners.
The explanation was that the Aus
trians 'became aware of the uses to
which the ducks were being put, and
turned their information to good ac
count.
