A purse of $10,000 awaits in Paris the American bowler who has confidence enough im his £kill to go over and back his opinion with a like amount to have a series of matches with a bowling wonder some Americans have discov- ered in the French capital. . This so-called “bowling cyclone” has only been in Paris a month, during which time he was first introduced to the Amarican alley and balls. So what he has accomplished has been with only a few weeks' practice. His name is Herr Straik and he is the son of a prominent Munich brewer and had some reputation as a bowler in his native town in the German game, o different from the American. How- ever, one of the pioneer American bowiers, Capt. P. L. Bowen, 3 Rue George Ville, Paris, representing those interested in Herr Straik, has deposit- ed with the American Express 25,000 francs ($5,000) as forfeit money and will put up the other $5,000 when necessary to back Stralk against all American comers. Interest in bowling has developed wonderfully in Paris recently under the patronage of a nrmber of well known Americans. In the central part of Parls alone tiere are pow over thirty American alleys and these are occu- pied the entire day by French and American enthusfasts. English Featherweight Beats Grover Hayes. Boston, Jan.~19.—Jem Driscoll, the English champion feathrweight, was given the decision over Grover Hayes of Philadelphia in the main bout of twelve rounds at the Armory Athletic association tonight, Hayes showed up superior in only two rounds, the sec- ond and fifth. From the fifth round on, he stalled, evidently trying to draw Driscoll on to closer fighting, but the Englishman retaliated by clever upper cuts. Hayes landed gcarely a dozen clean blows in the lastseven rounds. Yale-Harvard Relay Race Off. Cambridge, Mass., Jan, 19.—The an- nual relay lace between members of the Harvard and Yale track teams will not take place at the Boston Athletic association games this year. Yale re- fused to compete in any race under two miles, and the management would not allow the necessary time for that distance. Instead the Har- vard team will meet Cornell in a mile race at the same games on February 6. Nutmeg Leagus News.

New York, Jan. 19.—The stock mar- ket today fell into a neglect so pro- found as to resembie stagnation. Tho professional traders on the floor of the | stock exchange apparently had the market to themsclves and their ef- forts to move prices met with so little success that they practically abandon- ed them and left the market in its dull and uninteresting state the latter part of the session. The technical po- =ition of the market was called good, in that the floating supply of stocks seemed to be small and comparatively light buying orders brought marked results in the price movement. This fact, however, seemed to offer small encouragement to the pursuit of any extensive operations. There were ex- ceptions in separate stocks, mostly of the class of smaller railroad systems. Confecture continued busy with the possible dlsposition of these symptoms in the process of consolidations indi- cated by the cases of the Colorado and Southern and_the Wisconsin Central The Kansas City Southern was point- ed to as a projected link in the H: man system by traffic agreem Chesapeake and Ohio was indl: engaged in consolidating its own sys- tem by purchase of a controlled link anl was favorably affected.

There are more catching jobs and fewer good catchers floating around loose than any position on the diamond. < The recent le of Lou Criger for “Hippo” Speficer and $5,000 in real money emphasizes the lack of really classy catchers. Here is Criger, an old man as baseball goes, not overiy strong, & man so skinny he appears in imminent danger of breaking in two every time he throws to second base, @ man with not more than three o four years of baseball service in hiff at the most, commanding $5,000 and a 1ive young person in trade. Why? Be- cause he is a real catcher. Every ball club in either major league has at least one top-notch pitcher who can mow down the oppo- sition with considerable ease, and whose services would command many dollars if he were put on the market. How many good catchers are there— that is, just catchers, with no refer- ence to hitting or base running abil- / ity? Street thg Goods. St. Louis has Criger, Chicago has Billy Sullivan, and Washington has young Mr. Street, a youth so far as major league experience goes. Look over the list of catchers owned by the other American league clubs and see how many catchers there are in a rel- ative class with Young, Walsh, John- son, White, Waddell, Jjoss, Rhoades, Tom Hughes, Powell, Donovan and a half dozen other top-notch pitchers. The classy catcher is a rare bird. It often looks as though the magnates spent too much time and money try- ing to build up a great pitching staft without seeking good receivers. Of course, these same good receivers are few and far between. Probably the chances of injnry and the thankless- ness of the job make youthful baseball aspirants steer clear ¢f the catching position. Go out and catch a_good game apd you are credited with do- ing wht you were paid for. Have a few passed balls and nake a wild throw or two and the pepulace rises up and howls it's a shame such a good pitcher can't have a little support. The catcher, rather than the pitcher, however, i3 the maiuspring of the Dbaseball ' machine. Being stationed be- hind the batsman, he has greater op- portunities than the pitcher for ob- serving what a certain batter can and cannot hit. Knowing the man with whom he works, he can tell if his curves are breaking right, can make him work slowly when inclined to hur- ry and can make him hustle when he inclines to slowness. — Watcher of Bases. The catcher is the chief watcher of the bases when occupied, passes the signals for the pitcher throwing to caten runners too far from the bags and signals the proper time for deliv ering the ball to the hat. Aside from all this mental effort he must snatch off any sort of curve the pitchar lets loose, muw dig up wild pitches that go into the ground and must chase the elusive foul fly. He must block runners who slide into the plate and must take turn at bat. cse few things are calculated to keep a man of average intellect and physical abillty quite busy. Yet the catcher, so the fanatic thinks, is a mere machine to stop the curves the pitcher throws -and the batter misses. Catching is a difficult job in more ways than one,.and good catchers are scarce. How often has it been ob- served thal many young pitchers go along as only ordinary performers un- til some smooth, heady catcher com- mences to work with them, and then suddenly_they blossom out’ as stars. Offer Billy Sullivan and Ed Walsh for sale, and it's dollars to little green peas two clubs would break for Sulli- van, while one would go for Walsh. The pitcher would be a good man with any catcher who could hold him. but catcher could take & lot of ordi- plachers and get good work out of them. DAVIS TENNIS FINALS. Matches to Be Held in England at Wimbledon, With the announcement that the twenty-eignth annual meeting of the United States National Lawn Tennis association will be held Friday, Feb. 12, at the Waldorf Astoria, New York, came officlal news from Bngland to the effect that the final matches for the Dwight F. Davis international challenge cup will be played at Wim- bledon, England. It had been expect- ed for some time that, although the cup is held in Australia, the finals would be played either in England or the United Sta’es. It is possible that the preliminary International ties may be decided in this country. Shrubb the Favorite. When Tém Longboat and =Alfred Shrubb meet in their Marathon ra in Madison Square Garden, New York, there will be a preliminary _ event ' between Mike Spring and Bob Hallen. When Shrubb won a relay race in the Garden ten days ago, ‘Spring was victorious over Hallen in a five mile handicap, al- though the latter vehemently declared that he had lapped Spring and was 4he real winner. Because of this dis- pute, therefore, Spring and Hallen will settle the question next week, the for- mer to have an handicap of ten sec- onds, as In their first meeting. Sport- ing men are inclined to make Shrubb a favorite over Longboat, but the lat- ter will have a bunch of<@anadian coin behind him. Casey’s Future. Philadelphia, Jan. 19.—The Fandlers of Bdward Casey, the former football star, who made such a sorry showing against Al Kubiak In the ring here Saturday night, are not going to give up trying to make a heavyweight champion_out of the athlete. Kubiak had the Villa Nova colleze man all hut out in the fifth round, when the bout was stopped. Casey's friends declare they made a mistake in picking such a hard man to start their boxer off with and will Jook around for a little easier game. Rorty Preposes an Umpire. While making the declaration that he will not work in the Connecticut league again, Hugh J. Rorty of Hart- ford recommends another Hartford man, John W. Rogers, for his place on Chief Kennedy's staff, and, in all probability, this man will be appoint- ed an umpire for this league next sea- son. Rorty has interested Manager Clarkin of the Hartford team in Rog- ers, and as Hartford people think they are’ entitled to be represented on Chief Kennedy’s staff, Rogers will propably get the job. 8 Clabby vs. Mike Twin. Mike “Twin” Sullivan has agreed to meet Jim Clebby in New York on Feh. 12. Clabby came to the front wish a rush by the showing he made in his two bouts at New Orleans agawust Jimmy Ga! T, but a practically un- known boxkr named Mark Anderson of Chicago caused a surprise Friday night by earning a draw at the end o 20 rounds against Clabby at Day- ton, O. $12,500 for Gotch-Mahmout. Antone Pierri, who s in this coun- try with Mahmout, writes that he has received word from Martinelli, a wres- tling promoter in London, that he will offer a purse of $12,500 for a match between Gotch and the Turk. Pierri says that If Gotch will post a forfeit he will take Mahmout back to Eng- an of Sunday te d fight fans who had your all fixed for a nice, lus- scious battle between Jimmy Clabby and Bob Moha at the Eagles’ club at the end of the month are due for another disappointment, for Clabby hurt his shoulder last night in his bout with Mark Anderson and will "g:llbby b.ly bt fl‘m'lth Mark, < only got a draw w! ari though “every one thouglit he would win in easy fashion over the lanky Chicago scrapper. The fans at the battle were under the impression that Clabby could have put Anderson out in the earlisr rounds but simply toyed with his ojoonent, This was not the case, for Jimmy hurt his shoulder and -not punch hard. “The fans will be greatly dis- appointéd to hear 't the Moha- Clabby bout is to be called off. They are starvil for a battle and if the affair had been puiled off the house would have been crowded, for the bout was sure to have been a good one. Strikeout Record in Majors. There seems to be some doubt as to Charley Sweeney's record of striking vut 19 batsmen in one game of mnin: innings. On June §, 1884, at the South End grounds, Boston, Sweeney, pitch- ing for the Providence club, struck out the following players: Hornung 3, Bur- dock 4, Whitney 1, Morrill 2, Manning 2, Crowley 2, Mike Hines 2 and Wise 3. This is the record for strikeouts in major baseball. Anson Supervisor of Urnpires. A proposal to cornect “Captain” Adrian Anson, the former baseball player, with the National league again will be made at the spring meeting of the league in Chicago next month, ac- cording to President Murphy of the Chicago club. “We ought to appoint Anson supervisor of umpires,” said Mr, Murphy today. Approve Double Umpire System. Both Messrs, Johnson aud Pulliam have agreed upon the use of ‘the double umpire system this season as being an institution of which the patrons of the game approve, BASEBALL BRIEFS. Mathewson and Dr. Coakley, who were the opposing pitchers in one of tHe great battles between the Giants and Athletics in 1905 cross cues al- most every day at McGraw's. Andy is a Chicago cub now, but McGraw doesn’t bar him. Jim Johnstone gave ouf a statement last fall saying that he would never umpire another game for the National league. He was sore to find President Pulliam had not named him as one of the umpires for the world's series. A few days ago Mr. Johnstone signed with Harry Pulllam for tie year, The Athletics have 14 pitchers un- der reserve, and wijl take at least ten spring. will get a ball team that part. Ito any rule which would take Of the 1906 Cardinals only Hostet- ter, McBride and Charley Brown are still in major league company. The Stockton, Cal, outlaw club claims to have signed Tommy Sheehan of Brooklyn and Spike Skannon of Pittsburs. Manager _Clark Griffith of the Reds has turned down a trade‘of Ewing and Lobert for Beebe, Ludwig and Byrne of St. Louis. Joe Tinker, in conmection: with a friend named Dan J. Cabill, has open- ed a buffet on Van Buren and Leavitt streets, Chicago. It is said that Clark Griffitn wants Jake Stahl to play first base for Cin? cinnati, but the ~Boston Americans will not let ‘hi mgo. Herman Long, the old-time short- stop Pf the Boston Nationals, is to be mandger of the Alexandria, Va., team in the new league there, Jack Dunn, who pioted the Orioles to the Eastern Leagde championship last season, thinks that baseball pres- idents expect results too quickly from their managers, Frank Chance, the peerless leader, will leave the coast on January 2 for the Windy City, and he thinks his differences with C. Webb Murphy soon can be settled. President Dreyfuss on December 23 awarded the contract for building his new ball park and triple-decked grand stand. It is hoped to have the work completed by July 1 next.
