Kid Hendecks Takes Two Falls From Springfield Lightweight. (Special to The Bulletin.) ‘Willimantic, Jan. 11.—A good wrest- ling match was pulled off in the new armory this evening before a large and enthusiastic crowd. The match was for the lightweight championship of Springfield, Mass, and Williman tic, Conn., and for a purse of and a side bet of a similar amount. There was a_preliminary match be- tween Peter Champagne and Peter Lewis, both of Willimantic, They went for 15 minutes without g fall, but Lew- is having the best of it, The main match was between John Brown of Springfield and Kid Hendecks, a young Greek of this city. Brown weighed in at 125, Hendecks at 128 pounds./ Kid Hendecks won the { first fall with a full-nelson in 16 1-2 minutes. The second went to Young | Brown after a good struggle of 7 1-2 minutes on a scissors hold. The third and final was won by Kid Hendecks in 5 minutes on another full-nelson. | The ehthusiastic crowd carried the |1ocal man to his dressing room on | their shoulders. The referee was Ab- raham Robarge, Timer, P, J. Sulli~ van, COLLINS VS. SAMSON. Central Village Wrestler Will Appear in Westerly Against the German. Bill Collins, the Central Village wrestler, has arranged for a match in Westerly Wednesday evening | with Oscer Samson of Pittsfield, Mass., the heavyweight Collins met some time ago and defeated. The conditions for their coming meeting are tha same as before, Sam- son agreeing to throw Collins twice in an hour. The previous time they met Samson was disgruntled with the outcome of the match, in which Col- lins scored a fall on him and won, after Samson had put the Central Vil lage boy to the mat in 55 minutes. Samson will without doubt make the | match a hot one to show that he de- served to win the other ome, but Col- lins is confident he can make the Ger- man do some stepping to get him in the required time. Joe Desmond of this city is to referee. Clabby Fights Erne. Jimmy Clabby of Milwaukee, who has been a shining light in the boxing world since giving Jimmy Gardner of Lowell two terrific battles in New Orleans, is to meet Ralph Erne in Philadelphia tonight at the Douglass A. C. Gardner got a decision in the first meeting with Clabby, but the sec- ond time the best he could do was a draw in 20 rounds, which marks the Milwaukee boy, who is only 18, as a comer in the pugilistic world. At Thunderbolt Track. Savannah, Ga, Jan. 11.—Five good races were run at the Thunderbolt track today, In the first Istria was an easy winner. Racquet had to be forced after the last sixteenth in the second race, for Siskin ran a good race. The third race was a gallop for Merise, as was the fourth for Au- | tumn Flower. Anna Smith captured | the fifth event by a neck after a hard drive in 1.26 3-5. Demarest Loses and Wins. New York, an. 11.—Calvin Demarest, the billlardist, plared here again to- day against local professionals, the games being at 250 points, 18.2 balk line. In the first he was beaten by ‘W. H. Spinks, 250 to 199. In the sec- | ond contest he defeated Tom Galla- ghmer %0 to 209, Junior Basketballists. A team of young basketball players from Fitchville has sent word to Man- | ager Mason Palmer of the Y. M. C. A. Juniors that they would like a game. Manager Palmer will arrange for a game with them and would also like to hear from other teams for his five to play. His address is 376 Main street. Williams Basketball. ‘Willlamstown, Mass., Jan. 11.—The ‘Willlams college baseball schedule for the coming season, announced tonight, provides for eight games away from home an dten on the home diamond.

What is the speed limit? One FINANGIAL AND COMMERCIAL. DAY’S NET CHANGES SMALL. Severe Break in Erie Securities—Dis trust of Speculative Position. New York, Jan. 11.—The selling of stocks today was clearly due to con- viction that the previous advances had exceeded the warrant of the good in the condition and the prospects, rather than from the development of any fac- tor of positive discouragement in the situation or outlok. The severe break in the Erie securities had a speclal ex- planation in the belief that the pro- posed $30,000,000 bond igsue, which was the plan of financing the roads’ neces- sities selected by its directors, had falled to meet the mecessary approval of the public servicecommission. It was claimed that a_sub-plan was al- ready formulated whick would supply the needed resources and also meet with the consent of the public service commission. This did not serve to avert the crash in the quotations o1 the Brie ghares and the unsettling ef- fect of this crash on the whole of the general list. Those shares plaved the same part in the speculation that was played last week by the Consolidated Gas, the New York Central and the Interborough-Metropolitan stocks in successlon, The slump was aggravat- ed by the reiteration of disquieting rumors of the condition of F. H. Har- riman's health, although these were authoritatively denfed. The sensitive- ness of Erie to these rumors was an- other reminder of t! extensive specu- lation which has been based on the as- sumptions of Mr. Harriman's supposed actlvities and intentions in regard to a most c>mplicated and comprehensive plan_of rallroad betterment, much of which has never had any acknowledged authority and a great part of which was clearly beyond the powers of a single individual to perform. The fail- ure of Mr. Harriman's expected ap- pearance in the New York Central di- reotorate last week served to chill con- fidence in many of these speculative assumptions, the case of the Erie shares today offering a conspicuous example. While the sympathetic ef- fect of these special points of weak- ness in the market is not lost sight of, it is clear that there had grown up a asentiment of distrust of the speculative position, which left the market vulnos- aple to this sympathetic influence. Ad- vices which went out from Wall street at the end of last week from brokerage and commiseion houses had explicit warning, in many instances, of the danger of a break in prices. The re- sult was felt in the character of the orders for execution in the market to- day. An important and organized bear party was arrayed against the market and the bull position was held timidly and with a reserve intention to retreat before unfavorable developments. The afternoon rally In prices followed the evidence of support for the Erles and the day's net changes are generally emall. Bonds were irregular. Total eales, par valffe, $5,264,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. STOCKS. e Seles. 32900 Amalgamated Copper 100 Am. Car & Foundey 200 Am. Linseed Ofl 4900 Amorlean Locomotive 106 Dy pta Zhes 43400 Am.

Autoists Want No Change—Speed Limit is Now Safe and Sane, They Say. As another step in its crusade to brivg about an intelligent understand- ing of the present automobile law; to try to make it evident that it is an ideal law for the protection of all users of the highway, and to assure against it being changed in favor of the old- time’ speed trap and village constable regulation, the Automobile clup vt New Haven has sent out to every newspaper in Connecticut an appeal for a fair and complete explanation of the law to the pyblic. ; The associatifn claims that Connec- ticut’s automobile law is the best that has been devised, one that protects every person in the state from reck- less driving, if the law is enforced, and one that also protects every automobue driver from persecution. The association invites a test of the present law in each locality by that that they believe, from, their experi- ence, that the intelligent enforcement of the present law, for the period of one week, will end reckless driving in any city, town or borough in the state. We further believe no “fixed” speed limit can be established which will render city driving as safe, or contror it as well, as the present law, unless the limit be placed so low as to be prohibitive. 3 A neatly gotten up pamphlet con- taining the address on the interpreta- tion and enforcement of e Connecti- cut auto law, given by Aftorney C. M. Robinson, chairman of the ciuo's legal committee, to the New Haven police some time ago; and a letter asking that it be printed, in part at least, comprises the appeal. HARD TO SIZE UP. Batters _and Catohers Have a Hard Time Trying to Gauge the Spittbar. It's an established fact that it is al- most impossible for a batter to gauge the spitball when handed up by an ex- pert damp finger, but it is not gen- erally known that ‘at times it is almost impossible for the catcher to handie the delivery, says Addle Joss. For some reason the piichers who use the spitter are unable to tell ex- actly where the ball is going to break or how much of & shoot it will take. One time the ball will break out, another time the sphore takes an.in- ward shoot, but most of the time it breaks down, just like & drop curve, These queer pranks are the bane of every catcher. Chesbro's wild pitch at New York, which gave Boston the American league championship a few seasons ago, caused by a spitter get- ting away from the big fellow’s con- trol, has already been made famous. Buck Orth, who untll the middle of last season served up spitball slants and shoots for the Highlanders, nearly put Harry Bay out of the business one day during 1906. Buck has a spitter that breaks like an out curve, only a good deal faster. Bay, who crowds the plate when hit- ting, and who grasps the bat wila hands spread apart, swung hard on one of Orth’s offerings. The ball, instcad of going where Har- ry thought it would, ook one of those crazy sheots toward Bay and struck him on_the forefinger of his left hand. Naturally the ball did not travel vers far, just golng over Orth’s head and s0 slow that it was an easy matter for Deerfoot to beat the throw to first. Bay's finger received the full force of the blow and he was out of the game for a.couple of weeks. This was one of the times where a man made a base hit with his finger. Probady no pitcher in the business khes a better spitter than big ©d Walsh, the famous White Sox twirler. He gets a wonderful break on his Wpit- ball. Boxing Bouts This Week.

Those won by the Frenchman were Graeco-Roman style, while Lundin won the second fall, which was catch-as-catch-can, There were fully 1,000 people in attendance and the spectators were well pleased with the exhibition, which the papers say was one of !l’.ll best ever seen in the city.

Bass, Toulon, IlL, owns a Mor- gan mare, now 23 years old, that is suckling her sixteenth foal. The American bred trotting stallion ‘Wainscott, 2.10 1-4, was recently pur- chased by the German government for a high price from his Italian owners. Daughters of Simmons, 2.28, sorm of George Wilkes, 2.22, produced two of the new 2.05 performers of 1908. They are Hamburg Belle, 2.04 3-4, and Bren- da Yorke, 2.04 1- The outlook for the ice racing car- nival at Ottawa, Ont., is not particu- larly bright. Unless erican horses are permitted to cross the border the fields will be small. A. L. Thomas and W. B. McDonzld are among the trainers that are win- tering at the Jewett covered track near BEast Aurora, N. Y., and W. L. Snow is expected there very soon, John H. Shults has decided to change the name of the colt Toddington, two years old, by Moko, out of Fanella, 2.13, by Arion, to Johnson Moko, and has made application for registry un- der that name. Harry Stinson, trainer for Miss Katherine L. Wilkes, proprietor of Cruikston Park farm, Gault, Ont., will take a stable of horses to the Jewett covered track 10 prepare them for next season’s races. Trix, by Atwood Wilkes, 2.16 1-2, dam of the three sensational California pacers, Mona Wilkes, 2.03 1-2, Aerolite. trial 205 1-2 at 3 years, and Moortrix, 2.14 1-4, will probably be shipped east and bred to Dan Paich. The hackney breeders -sometimes sneer at the men who it trotting bred horses for the show ring because they often find it necessary to put rather heavy shoes on their pupils to getghe proper action. Action recently taken by the English Hackney Horse society, however, shows that the szme practice is in vogue among hackney men. Ata recent meeting of the council of this soclety a rule was adopted limiting the weight of shoes to be werk by hack- neys shown at the next London hack- ney show to 32 ounces for horses and 24 ounces for ponies and colts. Here in America it is seldom that a trotting bred show horse carries shoes that weigh as much as 32 ounces. SPORTS OF ALL SORTS. Phelps, the Pitisbury catcher, has been released to the St. Louis Na- tionals. Doc White of +he White Sox will coach the Central high school team of ‘Washingtou, Perry, the third baseman purchas- ed by Detroit from Montgomery, has been sold to Little Rock. ‘Matty Baldwin thinks that If Jim Driscoll will make 126 pounds instead of 128 at 6 o'clock a different result would follow another meeting over a 12-round route. Honey Mellody, In all serlousness, announces that he will return to the game in a short while. He has been doing light training and rigures that he can get back into first class shape. He will draw the line on men above the welterweight class, however, Forty-nine candidates for Penn’s track team reported to Mike Murphy to begin winter traning. Of this number only Captain Hartranft and Newberry ~were members of last lear'’s point-winning aggregation in the intercolleglate championships. More and more is the automobile be- coming the hunter’s friend. Moun- tain roads and rocky climbs that would be too much for a team of horses burdened with a wagon load of camp equipment are not sufficient to stop the more powerful motor car. Arthur Irwin could not get to Hart- ford any too quickly when he heard that Pete Wilson, the New York Am- ericans’ new pltcher, dug up by Ar- thur himself, was a_very sick man. The story proved to be all a mistake, as he found Wilson with a surplus of héalth, In an exhibition game at Bay City, Mich., on September 11, 1883, between the Bay City and Worcester (Mass.) teams, Worcester made 47 hits, includ- ing seven home runs. Smith got eight hits, Stovey and Evans six each Ir- win, Hayes, Creamer and Mountain five each. The Wesleyan relay season will open this month. There are a number of likely candidates for the team. the most prominent being Robson, Wood, Cables, Wright anl Camp. Cables is looked upon as the discovery of the season. He ran last year, but not in the meets, as he was ineligible on account of the one-year rule. s OUR CITIZEN'S DEMAND Fully Complied With. A Norwich Resident Furnishes It.
