Danielson, Feb. 7.—No new clubs will be admiitted to the Eastern Con- necticut baseball league, This decis- ion was arrived at when the board of directors met at the Central house in Danielson this afternoon. General discussion of the matter de- veloped the fact that the representa- tives of the various teams deemed it wise, consldering the proposed move from all standpoints, to limit the cir- cuit to the places that were represent- ed last year and a vote to that effect was passed. President Reeves, who applied for the Danielson franchise, said that personally he was not great- ly disappointed, though the fans in Danielson would like to see a team in the league, and he also hoped to see one entered if the ecircuit could be adjusted to that end with greater ease than is possible under existing condi- tions, If at any future time there is a vacancy in the league, Danielson may be invited to come in. Penalty Increased for Leaving Field. With this .question disposed of the managers reviewed the rules and reg- ulgtions of the jeague, repealing some méasures adopted last year and amending others. Section 35 was amended to make the fine 325 instead of $10 if a team leaves the fleld be- fore the umpire declares the game fi ished. This rule also calls for the forfeiture of the game under such con- ditions, o for Umpires. Section 36, relating to umplres, was amended, ~increasing the salary of these officials to $3 per game, and car- fare, instead of $2 and traveling ex- penses. President Reaves incidentally men- tioned this point, that while some of last year's umpires will be retained, he s ready to receive applications for places on the staff. Section 39 was amended by striking out the part relative to the managers filing the final list of twelve players with which to open the season. The rule as amended allows the manager to file an unlimited list of players, but each man wiil be subject to approv: by a majority vote of the board of di- rectors. Plan for Loaning Players. Section 46, which enforced the open- ing of the season with strictly home players, was repealed. The action tak- en does not indicate that the league is to lose its home team reputatien, but it removes some restrictions, that were considered unnecessary and det- rimental to the best Interests of the league. A majority of the board still retains the final say as to who shall be allowed or not allowed to play on the teams. A new rule ,introduced by Manager Gahan of North Grosven- ordale, which was adopted, is as fol- lows “No player a resident in a town in the league can play in any other club of the league without the permission of the manager in his home town. Any player loaned in this manner is sub- ecell by the manager loaning , or his successor, at any Talk of 80-Game Schedule. There is a possibility that the league schedule may be extended to 30 games this year. Last year 20 sames were played, Opinions both ways were e: pressed and the matter was finally ta- bled until March 21, when the next meeting is to be held here. Those attending _were President Reeves, Managers Benoit, Bonin, Ga- han, McBroome, Farrell and Charles F. Franklin, the newly elected mana- ger of the Dayville team, and its shortstop last season. Capt. Dan Murphy ef the Norwich-Taftville team and Raymond of Wauregan were also present. CROWLEY IN FAST TimMa Wins Marathon at New Haven—Twelve Minutes Better Than Longboat- Shrubb Race. James Crowley of New York eity, less than two years from Ireland, won | the Marathon Tace in the Second regi- ment armory at New Haven Saturday night. Crowley did his job so cleverly that four of the best known Marathon cracks of the country went to the saw- dust of the track in a state of collapse before the race was finished. Among them were Bob Fowler of Cambridge, Mass., and Tom Morrissey of Yonke: 'S, There Were nine starters: Crowley, Morrissey, Fowler, Carr, Lilley, Brown, Bsposito, Bdmundson and H: gro.

It was 2 hours 28 minutes 38 seconds, which is nearly 12 minutes better than Tom Longboat did in the Madison Square Garden Friday night. M'GRATH LOST IN FIERCE WRESTLING BOUT Threw Buildog Clayton Twice, but Got Only One Fall on Kaiser. In a despatch from Oswego, the Syracuse Post-Standard of Wednesday sa; Before the largest and most dem- onstrative audience that ever assem- bled in Richardson theater to witness a wrestling match Jack McGrath of Norwich, Conn., failed to throw Bull- dog Clayton and Charles Kaiser twice each within an hour, McGrath - threw Clayton, his first opponent, twice, securing the first fall in_ten minutes and 30 seconds with a head scissors. He secured the sec- ond fall with a bar hold in 15 min- utes and 10 scconds. After an inter- mission of 10 minutes, Kaiser, his second opponent, hppeared, and was thrown with a neck scissors and bar hold in 20 minutes and 30 seconds. McGrath failed to land the second fall on Kaiser within the prescribed num- ber of minutes. The match was the flercest’ever held in this city, It became necessary for a number of policemen to be called, and Manager Wesley found it necessary to £o on the stage and caution the con- testants, After the match Kaiser claimed that he was not a wrestling heavyweight, but the crowd would not let him or the referee explain. The curtains were down and McGrath appeared and was given a rousing reception. He said that he had a number of dates in the west and would not be able to remain in Oswego, but that if Kalser would like to wrestle two out of three falls he would take him on tomorrow morn- ing for a side bet of $300. In the preliminaries Strauss of Os- wego Town won out over Young Bull of Brooklyn in two straight falls. Mr. Miles of Fulton acted as referee. McGrath writes the sporting editor of The Bulletin that he got an aw- ful raw deal from the referee. He claims that he had his men beaten, several times, but the umpire was bought against him, They had a $450 house, which was somewhat different from wrestling in Norwich. * Clayton weighed 168, Kaiser 171, and McGrath 176. . 100 HITS OR MORE.

The Mighty Five basketball team of the Norwich Y. M. C. A. met with a disastrous defeat in New London Sat- urday evening at the hands of the New London Invincibles, the score being 30 g 14. As the Norwich team had won a previous game, the two fives will meet in this city to play off the rub- er. The Invincibles seemed to have the Mighty Five hypnotized Saturday night and galloped away from them with ease. Fumbled catches, poor passing, and a generajly demoralized play pro ed the Mighty Five away off their ordi- nary form, and they were left behind in the first half by the score of 18 to 6. In the second half the Invincibles ran this up to 30, while the Mighty Five put on 8 more points. The lineups and summary: Mighty Five—Tuttle rf, Amburn 1, Rydholm ¢, Burke lg, Dilworth 8.

High Private again daisplayed his class at Emeryville Saturday, when he won the Palace Hotel handicap in clever style. Tha event, which was at a mile and a furlong, was the feature of the card. “T have heard nothing nor seen any- thing in reference to a challenge from Jack Johnson.” said James J. Joffries to the Associated Press Saturday,when asked regarding the purported cabling of a challenge by Champion Johnson. At the indooor mesting of the Olym- plc Athletic club in San Francisco on Saturday night three world’s records were broken. Andrew Glarner lowered to 2.002-5 the record for a half mile, held by Melvin Sheppard, of 2.022 Herbert Check won the 80 yard low hurdle event fn 71.5 seconls, from Smithson of the Multnomah club. The Willimantic juniors had age and weight on the Norwich boys, but the loca] goal shooters were faster in their footwork, had a team system that al- ways had a_man in the right spot t, receive the ball, and had a better eye for the basket. With these strong points on the offense they guarded the Willimantic shooters so closely that they rarely had an open shot. Cha-- pell and Kelly were the conspicuous performers for the losers, while Re- vell was the Norwich star, especially in the second half, when his opponent scarcely got a hand on the ball -nd Revell shot three baskets. Robinson substituted for Jackson in the second half and put up a good game ,whilgh slippery little Ellls caged two, and Forsberg and Coyl were also there | with a couple apiece.

Walcott, Burns, Sharkey and Others Who Beat Men Bigger Than Them- selves. ‘When Joe Walcott, the Giant Killer, was knocking out middle and heav weights, although he did not weigh more than 145 pounds, many critics argued that weight and height did not figure as ¥mportant qualities so long as a pugilist could hit hard and take punishment. Walcott was only b feet 1 1-2 inches tall. yet he defeated six- footers, notably Joe Choynski, with re- markable ease. He also took the measure of Kid Carter, Billy Smith, Frank Childs, Sandy Ferguson, and George Gardner, all of whom were at least a head taller than the Black Demon, as ring followers called him. Furthermore Walcott defeated Mick Dunn, Jack Bonner, Dick Moore and Dan Creedon, who were bigger in every way than this phenomenon of the ring. Successful Heavyweights Tall. Thers are several fighters in the ring at the present time who, like Walcott, are undersized, notably Tom- my Burns, Sam Langford and Young Peter Jackson . Burns is only 5 feet 7 inches tall -while Langford, who will probably ‘meet Champion Johnson next May, {s half an inch taller than Burns. ~ Young Peter Jackson, is about the same size, while Tom Shar- key. who gave Jeffries the hardest batile of his career, stands 5 feet 8 1-2 inches in his socks. But successful short men in the middie and heavy- wolght classes have been an excep- tion to the prevalling rule. Jeftries, for instance, is 6 feet 1 1-2 inches tall, while Johnson is § feet 1-4 inch, Cor- bett is taller than Johnson by three- quarters of an inch. Al Kaufman, the California pugllist, measures tie same as Corbett, while Gus Ruhlin is 6 feet, 2 inches. ' Peter Jackson, the great Australian fighter, was 6 feet 1-2 inch, the same helght as Jim Hall, with Paddy Slavin an inch faller. Joe God- dard, the Barrier Champion, was a 8- footer, and Peter Maher measures 5 feet 11 3-4 inches. This is Choynskt's height and McCoy's is 5 feet 11 inches,_ John L. Sullivan stands 5 feet 10 1-3 inches without his shoes. Five Feet 8 for Middlewsights. It is sald that the middleweights, who scale at 154 pounds, should ibe 5 feet 8 inches tall, while those who weigh 158 should measure three-quar- ters of an inch more. Yet Fitzsimmons who held the middleweight champion- ship and was never defeated for the title, is 5 feet 11 3-4 inches. Ketchel, the present middleweight champlos measures & feet 9 3-4 inches. Phil delphia Jack O'Brien, who figh about 165, at is five feet 10 1-2 inches, and Jack (Twin) Sullivan, who got a decision over Burns once, is 5 feet 9 Inches, Charley Mitchell, once E land's best boxer, is 5 feet 9 inches, too. Bill Papke, former middleweight champlon, is & feet 8 3-4 inches, and Dan Creedon, once holder of the Aus- trailan title, is_a quarter of an inch shorter. Jack Dempsey, who lost the title to Fitz, was § feet § inches Welterweight 5 Feet 6 Inches. Tradition says that 145 pounders, or welterweights, should stand 5 feet 6 inches, or nealy 5 inches taller than Walcott, who held the title In tnis class for a long time. Yet it is a fact that few of the best known welter- weights were as short as 5 feet 6§ inches. Tommy Ryan was 5 feet 7 1-4 inches, Georgg Dawson 5 féet 7 1-2 inches, Tommy Tracey 5 feet 7 3-4 inches, Mysterious Biliy Smith 6 feet 8 1-2 ‘inches, Matty Matthews 5 feet 7 1-2 inches, Mike (Twin) Sullivan, the present tile holder, 5 feet 10 inch- es, Honey Mellody 5 feet 7 inches, Harry Lewls 5 feet 7 inches, and Jim. my Gardner 5 feet 7 3-4 inches, In the lightweight class it has I been maintained that a 133-pounder should be 5 feet 3 3-4 inches tall. Kid Lavigne, one of the greatest light- weights the world ever saw, stood § feet 3 1-2 inches in his bare feet. Bat- tling Nelson, the present chatmpion, is 5 feet 7 1-2 inches tall, an inch and a quarter taller than Joe Gans, the famous Old Master. Jack McAuliffe, who was world’s champion for a doz- en years, was 5 feet 6 inches, which i Jimmy Britt's height. Freddy Welch, the clever British boxer, who is after Nelson, is an inch taller than Britt. Jabez White Looking for Nelson. w York, Feb. 7.—The steamer Cel- tic, whica arrived today from Liver- pool, brought a lightweight prize fight- er who is looking for a match with Champion Battling Nelson. He is Ja- Dbez White, England’s champlon in this class. White said he was In first-class trim and ready to take on Nelson at any time, the sooner the better. Son Jimmy Goes to Buffalo. Briigeport, Feb. 7.—Jimmy O'Rourke, crack little second baseman for Bridge- port last season, who was drafted by the New York Americans, has been sold to Buffalo of the Eastern league. Earl Gardner, formerly of Hartford, will probably get O'Rourke’s place on second for the Highlander: ng Officers of Library Association.

LEROY HILL. 20 games of 101 5-20th, giving him tne distinction of ‘the most consistent bowler now splitting the wood on the alleys. Starting Saturday with a string of 103, he toppled over 143 pins for the record single for the day, put a string of 132 on top of that and let down with strings of §9 and 85. Taking the five together he totalled 552 for the dental prize, an average of 110 2-5th, and counting the first three in a bunch gave him 378, which was high three- string for the week. For these three games his average was 126. Tonight, in the league games, the third round starts and the two home teams in Norwich, Westerly and New London will roll each other on their home alleys, Captain Harris will have his Norwich Warriors matched against the new Norwich team No. 1, which is out to score a defeat against the Harris five. There will be a crowd of shouters out to see what the unknowns of the new team can do in their first contest. WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
