Putnam, Feb. 11.—Fritz Hanson of ‘Worcester, the invincible welterweight wrestling Swede, svent out of his class tonight to wrest victory from Barrette of Montreal, the Canadian middle- weight champio ‘Hanson won in two straight falls, securing the first with a chancery and crotch hold in 49 min- utes 40 seconds, and the second with a neck scissors and wrist hold in 23 minutes and 2§ seconds. It was far and away the best bit of sport yet put on at the Putnam Social and Athletic club, and the members were on théir feet applauding time and again. Barrette was easily the favor- ite with the crowd and was picked by many as a sure winner. Hanson went at him from the sound of the bell, and the struggle that went nearly a full fifty minutes before the first fall has never heen equalled on a mat in this city The first half hour was an even thing, but from then on Hanson's better gen- eralship began to be effective. Time and again he caught Barrette in a neck ecissors that held like a steel trap, and though the Canadian managed to break it a4 dozen times or more, it was finally effective in wearing him down and winning the Swede the match. Han- son used hardly any other hold, and Victor Over Barratte. him. “Kaufman could not lick a pos- tage stamp,” was his laconic comment. It was said by Berger, who is sparring partner for Jeffries, that tne retired champlon is training quietly. He is of the opinion tha- Jefiries is getting ready to enter the ring. Puts Murphy Out in Fifth. New York, Feb. 11.—Johnny Coulon of Chicago, America’s bantam cham- plon pugilist, was the victor tonight over Kid Murphy of this city in the fifth round of what was scheduled as a zén round bout at the Whirlwind A. C. At every stage of the bout Coulon was Murphy’s master and in the fifth sent a right to the heart and a left ho&z.k to the jaw, putting the local man out Broke Roller Skating Record, Pittsburg, Feb. 11.—The world’s rec- ord for the mile distance in roller skating was broken at the exposition roller rimk here tonight when the final one mile chanipionship race of the na- tional professional rolier skating cham- plonship races was run.

DULL STRENGTH Day’s Changes Trivial in Most Cases— -Double Holiday, New 11.—The dull strength market was as- cribed in large part to foreign influ- ences and was an echo of the rout undergone by the bear element in the specuiation in the London stock mar- ket. London was a buyer of_stocks here on a considerable scale and this was an important factor in the early advance in prices, as shorts were in- clined to cover in view of the three days’ closing of the stock exchange. Most of the business was doune during the early part of the session, the ac- tivity declining after the London busi- ness hours had passed. Union Pacifie moved upwards with its usual strong sympathetic effect in the whole list. The stock was favorably influenced by the official financial statement which was presented by the stock exchange in connection with the appllcation to list the new refunding bonds. The admission of directors representing the new contro] to the Chesageake and Ohlo board was made the occasion for another demoustration of strength in that stock. The whole of the south- ern group*of railroad stocks v mar] ed up briskly without special explana- tion. There was a noticeable selec- tion of low grade bonds also for active market movements, cspecially amongst those which have been deposited with protective committees in the course of reorganizatiof plans. Estimates of the currency movement were for only part of the week, but they indicated some loss of cash by the banks, as the withdrawal of deposits by the United States treasury and the ship- ments of gold to South America were ! not offset by the inflow of cash from | the Interior. The money market was not perceptibly affected by this show- ing and it was supposed that some large loans are being taken over from the banks by the trust companies. Tha | <tock market @&nk back into lethargy | | in the late dealings and the day's| inges proved trivial in mosr cases, | EBouls were firm. ‘Total sal Valt 0,000.

New Owners Set Early Date for the Springfield Ball Players. — John E. Zellar and William E. Carey, owners. ct of the Springfield base- ball cluy have signed the lease for the use of the Hampden park baseball grounds. Mr. Zellar, who will be playing man- ager of the club, will order all hands to report on April 7, the earliest re- porting time for a Springfield club in years. The players whom Zellar is banking on are as follows: Catchers, Whit'ng, Connor, Hirst and Cahill; pitchers, Hess, Luby, McLean, Porroy, Zazat- and probably Murray Parker; first base, Zellar; second base, Col- ling; shortstop, Burns; third base, Pinkerton and McAndrews; outfield, Rising, Maggert and Waite, and an- other man with whom he is now nego- tiating. Bill Yale will be traded probably to Waterbury or New Haven. MeAndrews may also be traded, but this point {s unsettled. Pinkerton, the new third baseman, is said to be flashy and a hitter. Perkins, the Ho!yoke player, s8ys Pinkerton is a star. Of the new men, Zellar speaks strongly ot Collins in the infield and Porray, the pitcher. He has played against Col- lins, and thinks this fellow as good as his name. Collins is a tall, wiry boy, fast in fielding, agd is belleved to have a fine eye for the ball. One of his favorite pastimes while playing with Maryboro was in banging the ball over the fence. Down in Marlboro Billy Fitzmaurice and Tansy, former Con- necticut league players, were team- mates of Collins. ‘Burns will be kept at short. He told Zellar yesterday that if he did not hit for .250 the coming season he would chuck baseball at the end of the sea- son. Zellar is planning to guard first base himself. ¢ STREET CLOTHES PUZZLE FANS. | Ball Players Known to Some When in Uniform. Only It is a conceded fact that two-thirds of the baseball fans would not recog- nize more than a few of the players of their own team were the players to appear before them in street dress in- stead of uniform. In fact, some of the most ardent rooters would pass one of thelr favorite players by on the street without & word. They may be able to pick out the varigus players on the fleld, but wiien the heroes of the dia- mond get on their “glad rags” they are disguised. It is also true’ that many fans would not koaw who was meant were' some of the ball players to be referred to by their right names in- stead of the nick-names which they have borne for many a year. MANAGING PRIZEFIGHTERS Not So Easy—Six Months Wrecked the Man Who Tried to Run John L. “Every young fellow who knocks about the boxing clubs thinks it's a picnic to manage a star fighter,” said a veteran sporting man as he chatted with several clubmen at the ringside of the National Athletic club in New York, the other night. “Some years ago I thought so myself, when I was voung and full of ginger, and after wagonload.of the stuff from .all kinds of people who were stuck on John and wanted to do him a favor. One day he would be flat broke and the next he would be flush, buying wine like Coa] Oil johnny. months~I was with John I was in a sort of champagne trance, for it was wine, wine, wine day and night. We never went to bed until 4 or 5 in the morning and never got up unti] noon. Then we started the wine going before we were well awake and-kept going it until we could hold no more. Well, it cost some to keep the ball rolling, but we certainly made some dough, for Sullivan drew big houses wherever he showed. For my part 1 know that I quit the job broke and with the little bank roll I had before a started out as John's manager gon ‘How did Sullivan train for those knockout shows of his?” asked a lis- replied the veteran sporting man, “he never was in condition. On a day or night that he was to meet some fellow and try to knock him out in four rounds, Sullivan generally took a Turkish bath, a good rubdown and a clean shave. Then to the public he looked like a real gladiatyy. Some- times ke went into the ring as full as a goat and got away with his man just the same. Considering the life he led John was the most wonderful fighter in the world. If he had taken care of himseif as he's doing today, his equal woutd never have been seen in the prize ring. “Several years after I quit Suilivan a fat little theatrical man named Har- ris came tp me in a Cincinnati hotel one day and told me that he had book- ed Sullivan for a counle of weeks in vaudeville. He asked me confiden- tially what was the best way to han- dle John. “‘He has missed a couple of mati- ness by being intoxicated and I have had to stand the loss’ said Harrls. “Tell me, please, how I should go about it to get control of him. ‘That's very simple’ I repeated, with an important air. ‘You must go at him good and strong. Don’t let him think you are afraid of him. Tell him he’s a rum ked bBluff, and you won't stand for any more of hig drunken ca- pers.’ ‘As strong as that, eh? remarked the little manager, as he turned pale. ‘Well, you ought to know! He's up on the sixth floor now ,half stewed in bed. Tl go up and gi him a stilft You know I'm a business man, and I'm out for the vel- call! not a fool, vet!” How did it work? Well, me. When Harris deltvered the hot talk to John in his room, all sur- rounded with botties, John kind of smiled and slowly got out of bed. Then, taking the little manager in his arms as if he was a child, he walked toward the window, listen to ““Why, John!' screamed Harris, at are you going to do’ T'm going to throw you out of the window, you little stiff roared Sullivan, in his sub-cellar voice, “‘Great heavens, John!’ wailed the little manager. ‘Don’t you know I was only kidding Can't you take a joke” “*A joke, eh?” growled Sullivan, as he threw Harris bodily into the hall- way. If you ever annoy me again when I am In bed I'll wring your neck. see? And Harris resigned the next day.” ELEVEN PLAYERS MAKE 100 RUNS Four of These are Majors, Crawford, Mcintyre, Tonney and Wagner. Few are the ball players who can garner 100 runs in one season. Of 32 leagues only 11 possess a man in the eentury cla Others come close to that number, but less than a dozen | out of nearly a possible three dozen managed to negotiate tne 100 tallies. | In two major organizations there are four 100-run getters, more than one- third the total number, while the ma- jors compared to the minors, constitute | but 1-16th of the leagues whose rec- ords are preserved. The National and American leagues divided honors, each having two, Crawford and McIntyre of | Detroit both got around the required number of times_ with a few to spare. Fred Tenney of New York scored 101 times, while John Wagner of Pitts- burg came across the plate just an even hundred. McIntyre and Tenney head the batting lists. while Wag: and Crawford smite in the slugger's position. The value of something beside speed and swatting ability is shown striking- ly in comparing the records of Cobb and Crawford. (‘obb had a batting av- erage of .324, Crawford’s was .311. Cobb made 158 hits and Crawford had four less. Cobb stole 89 bases and Crawford 43. Cobb made four homers and Crawford only three more. How- ever, Crawford ran bases with greater judgment if with Jess speed and man- aged to get around the plate 102 times, while Cobb came around on ly 88 time: To be sure, the Detrolt club batted Mc- Intyre, Schaefer, Crawford and Cobb, thus giving Crawford the benefit, from a scoring standpoint, of Cobb's fre- quent hits, Cobb biffed 188 times safety, but on the other hand, Ro: man, who followed Cobb, hit the ball for something like 154 times in only 138 games, Rossman’s proportion was not nearly so good as Cobb's, yet, tak- ing the base running of Crawford and Cobb into consideration, these men were about on an equal footing. A little pergsal and study of these figures brings out the guestion: “What became of Cobb when he got to base?"” the frequency with which he tried to make doubles out of singles and triples out of doubles and was thrown out at base, cut off a lot of chances of his scoring. Cobb is a great base run- ner, and one of the speediest men in the league, but frequently he overesti- mated his ability to beat out some strong-armed thrower. Speed and hits, apparently, are not the sole requisites of run getting, TURF NOTES. It is to be hoped that Minor Heir, 1.59 1-2, will be given a chance to low- er his “out in the open” record. The Morgan maw Dolly, owned by H. A. Bass, of Tilden, IIL, is 23 years old and is suckling her 16th foal. Roy Miller will try his hand with Marjorie, 2.133-4, that was formerly owned by the late C.

Fred Pfeffer Says His Control Was Marvelous—Terrific Speed. “John Clarkson never had a superior as a pitcher, and never will,” sald Fred Pfeffer, whe was Chicago's star second baseman under Captain Apson, the qther day. “The Rube Waddells, the Mordecal Browns, the Ed Walshes and the Christy Mathewsons may come and go and they may tie old John, but none of them’ will ever stand as his superior. 1 stood behind him day in and day out and watched -his magnifi- cent control, as confident of success, especially in tight places, as I would have been with the United States army behind me. That was Clarkson’s long sult. He was master of control. I be- lieve he could put a ball where he wanted it nine times out of ten. He had everything any pitcher ever had as well. His speed was something terrific and he could throw any curve, However, his favorite ball was a drop something like the spitball of today, although he delivered it without the ointment necessary nowacays. “You riust remember that in his day Clarkson had to face that wonderful bunch of hitters of the old Detroit team, when Brouthers, Thompson, Rowe, Ed Hanlon, Hardy Richardson, Jim White, Dunlap and George Wood were the greatest sluggers on the dia- mond. Clarkson was their hoodoo. They seldom won a game from him. If 1 remember rightly John did not lose more than two or. three games in all that he pitched against Detroit. I will venture to say that if Clarkson and Kelly, who were the famous hat- tery in 1889, were alive today $50,000 Wagld not buy their releases. - “larkson furnished an amusing in- cident at Harvard more than twenty years ago. At the time he was a member of the Chicago team and pro- | fessional coaches were not allowed at Harvard. Clarkson lived in Cambridge and as he needed early spring practice he used to visit Holmes field at the fnvitation of the 'varsity nine. to pitch against the candidates. The great boxman had shaved off his mustache that year and one day he appeared on the fleld in a Harvard uniform. As he proceeded to hand up a wonderful assortment of curves a member of the Harvard faculty who is still at Cam- bridge looked him over with evident admiration, after which he went awuy enthusing over “the new freshman pitcher,” as he called him, and he never learned of his error.
