B. hall Thursday contract to throw three wi wrestlers in an hour with no stops in - between. The whole job was done up and Jack was walking off the mat with a smile in 24 minutes. They were hardly a plate of breakfast food for the big heavyweight. A crowd of between 200 and 300 was in the hall and first saw a clever and fast bout between Harry Brann and Young Lewis, both of t.hll city. They were on for 15 minutes, in which Brann was the winner, ‘throwing Lewis first in 1-2 minutes and again in 4/1-2 minutes. The rest of the time there was no fall. For the big bout, McGrath took on Charles Pirolo, the New London Can: wonball club wrestling instructor, the first victim. Tourtellotte of New London, formerly of Worcester, was referee, Harry Jennings timekeeper. Pirolo was thrown before he hardly knew the match had started. Jack caught him in his “jackknife” hold in 1 minutes 42 seconds. Ave the New: bhoy of New London was next taken on. Having a reputation as a mat hugger second to none Abe started out \Vl}h this specialty of his, but the Giant “could not be stalled off with Ape’s game. After some fiddling, with the crowd shouting advice and jollying Abe, McGrath got him in a punish- ing headlock and hammerlock for the fall in 3 minutes and 21 seconds. Bill Collins of Central Village, the third man, lost not a minute in get- ting inte the fray, but took MeGrath by a fling leap from the sidelines while the referee was about to announce the result with Abe. Collins dumped the surprised Giant in a hurry and tried for a fall, but Jack wa stoo strong. By holding on to one leg or foot Col- lins worried McGrath for five minutes by keeping the upper position, but Jack was evidently taking it fairly easy. Colling, however, gave the crowd a good run for its money, and this being his first appearance made a most favorable impression. He was quick as a cat, showed strength that would be dangerous against a man of his own weight, and altogether was the hit of the evening. There were many lively whirls with the Central Village man doing nice work before McGrath finally got him in 18 min- utes 57 seconds orr a crotch and half- nelson. The entire gate receipts went FINANGIAL AND SUDDEN AND VIOLENT BREAK Takes Speculators by Surprise—Mar- ket Demoralized After Midday. New York, June 17.—The suddenn 53 and viclence of the break iu ptices the stock market today came as a sur- prise in spite of the frequent expres- sions of distrust lately of -the high level of prices and of the extent to which borrowed money was being used to carry stocks on margin. The bear party in the speculation, which under- took operations on the short side based on this situation, has met insupera- ble opposition so often in the shape of bad support of the market that the ability to hold prices or advance them had come 0 be relied upon. The with- drawal of that support undoubtedly was 4 very important element in the weakness which swept over the market today. Of course, as the decline pro- ceeded, the flood of liquidation was very much inereased, but it was nota- bly heavy at the outset. The opening selling, in fact, was well absorbed and an_effective rally achieved. At that point stock began to come out again, partly from those important interests which bought yesterday to check the threatened demoralization then, and which sought the earliest opportunity to resell their takings, and partly from night when the Irish Glant took the elterweight the organized bears, who had strength- ened their position by 1&rge covering operations. As prices crumbled away, margins were wiped out and stop loss orders uncovered and soon after mid- day the market was demoralized. Prob- ably no factor of the several which were discussed was onsible for the break, and all combined might have been passed over in a speculative posi- tion less vulnerable to attack. Develop- ments in the copper trade in the last few days have impressed sentiment owing to the sus- on d that speculative ces had been at work in the market for the metal to sustain the specula- tion in stocks. A slump in the copper metal market in London today rein- forced this European cop- per trade statistics show how- a large part of recent and current American exports are going into warehouse stocks abroad, rather thean into con- sumption. This showing had an ef- fect on sentiment regarding the steer trade, where the currengf active de- mand still continues, but” with the possibility, as in the copper trade, of an accumulation of Stocks that may project later demand. The latter stages of the movzmeni to secure admission of United States Steel to the Paris bourse have made a bad impression in spite of the protestations of bankers of their confider:ce in the ultimate sue- cess of the plan. Doubts have grown up on the subject and the tone of the stock market is greatly prejudiced by these doubts, owing to the heavy stress laid on the project in its early stages as a warrant for indefidite advance- ment of pric2s. There was some com- ment on the coincidence of the appear- ance of the report of the Hughes com- mittee on the market and the break in the stock market. Members of the stock exchange, however, were disposed quite generally to profess satisfaction with the contents of the report. Prac- tices which have been under criticism, such as short selling, restriction of distribution of quotations and even manipulation, are distinctly defended or commended n the report. Some of the sellers of stocks professed appre- hension that President Taft's special message regarding an income and cor- poration earning tax might be a pre- Tudc val of agitation against The Pittsburg dealing ‘ncidental advantages of the increased powers of inquisition into avairs of corporations, growing out of in proposed tax on earnings, seemed to be regarded as of sirdister import to corporation management. The simple declaration of a two per cent. semi- annual dividend on Reading yesterday contrasted so vividly with the rumors which induced the recent advance in the stock to near 160 that a realiza- tion was awakened of the large part d by purc speculation helped by manipulation in the extension of the prolonged advance in price: This realization applied to the stock mar- ket as a whole had much more to do ‘with the day's heavy liguidation than any fresh incident in the news. One incident mentioned bysthe traders as a reason for the unloading of stocks was the reported firing on a British ship by a Russian gowernment vessel. The extensive cc vering by shorts in the process of realizing bear profits re- trieved a substantial part of the ex- treme declihes, which ran to 3 1-2 and nearly 5 points for the stocks most ::ule ¥ ;neexed.

DePalma's. new rec- ord displaces the mark of 23 min- utes 38 3-5 seconds made by Barney Oldfield at Fresno, Cal, December 13, 1904. In a previous attempt to break the world’s mile record, DePalma ne- gotiated the circuit in 54 seconds, on the second trial equalling the Read- ville track record, but three seconds below the world's mark. The events were part of the annual Bunker Hill day race meeting of the Bay State Automobile assoclation and eight races were run off. In no other contest was an approach to record time made, though several of the five-mile events were covered in fast time. J. B, Ryall of New York, entered in several amateur events, was allowed to compete under protest. He captured a third place in a five-mile race for the Bailey trophy and may be deprived of his position by the contestants. Steeplechaser Broke Her Neck. Boston, June 17—With all plans per- fect the annual race meeting of the Country club, Brookllfie, opened today with an estimated attendance of 12,- 000. A particular feature was the number of horses falling, seven tak- ing headers. All the jockeys escaped uninjured, but in the final race over the “steeplechase course, the Linnia took a cropper at the tenth hurdle, breaking her neck and killing herself instantly. . She was the property of ayden Channing of Sherburn, Mass. The challenge cup steeplechase wa the feature of the race, the honors going to Prince Hampton. Hill Came Next to Record. C.

So‘ Far Four Hor: cellent Promise for Work. the Season’s ). ), 5 ). Several phenomenal performers have turned up in California this eari; the year. Four of them are horses that have never been seen on eastern tracks, although one is to make his detut this summer. This one is Alma- den, 2, 2.22 1-4, a bay stallion, eight years old, which W. G. Durfee has +f leased from his father, C. A. Durfee, for the season. He is a handsome bay stallion by the ex-pacing champion, Direct, p, 2.05 1-2, while his dam was Rose McKinney, by McKinney, 211 1-4, the leading sire of extreme speed. Ha made his first start at two years of age and beat Marvin Wilkes, his only opponent, taking his present record. The following year at Sacramento he won the classic Stanford stake from Marvin Wilkes, Carlokin, 2.08 1-4, and Neerguard, taking the last three of se\en heats in 2.24 1-2, 2.25 1-4 and Thess are the only two races in uhxch he ever appeared. Durfee has been working him along carefuily and the other day -he stepped a mile in 2.1 1-2 with apparent ease. He has been named in all the big stakes to which he is eligible on the grand circuit. Two of the others are in Henry Helman's stable. Helman is the trainer who brought Mack Mack, 2.08, east in 1906 and raced him with success. His %ew stars are the grzen trotter Kid ‘Wilkes and the four year old paeing filly Cora. Th'y are both the property of H. E, Armstrong, who paid $10,000 for the pair. Kid Wilkes is by the pacing horse Stanton Wilkes, 2.10 1-3. He showed a mile in a matinee last winter close to 2.10 and in his late work went a heat in 2.13 1-2, last half in 1.04, last quarter in .21, with appar- ent ease. Cora is by that fine trotting stallion De! Coronado, 2.09 1-4. She paced an easy heat in 2.10 1-4, with the last quarter ir .29 3-4. Both aze to be raced in Califcrnia. The fourth mem- ber of the quteue is the pacing mare Queen Derby, 2.11 1-4, which Jue Cui- cello .is_working. She is by Charles Derby, 2.20, ou! of Addie Ash, by I dianapolis, 2.21 1-2. She raced credit ably on the coast last year, but if her carly work may-be taken as X criterion she is far better this A mile in 2.09, with the last half in 1.03, was her portion. Hamburg Belle, 2.04 3-4, the mare that lowered the world’s record for three heats by a trotter last year and never lost a race, is going good for Billy Andrew She hit her knee last fall and did not fill her late engage- ments. She is considered to have a chance to trot in 2.02 at least. Mar- garet O, 2.05 1-4, the daughter of On- ward, is to haye another try ‘before being retired to the brood mare ranks |- at Patchen Wilkes' farm. Sonoma Girl, 2.05 1-4, gave evidence in her last races in 1908 that she could trot in 2.04 and she kas wintered grandly. Lo cust Jack,.2.06 1-2, went a great many fast miles ). 13 i 212 was am; te for it was !.hl team that 'h- has carefully picked out of & num- ter of trials that did the trick. The ouc dizzy, dazaling feature was a cork- ivg on-hand eu&l in center field by Captain Scanlon, on which he made a aauble play, told as follows in bis own weoras especialiy Yor The Bulletin. T cees the ball coming and T jumos for t and sticks up, me two hands. It €on't hit me baré hand. but it lands me mit. I don’'t know it's there, arnd T don't know what to do with it when I get it, but 1 throws it to sec- ond. Then I was gol ng out to me Tlace in center field again, but T sees the fellers all walkin’ in. I makes a € fble—what do you know about that? —because de guy on second had got home by de time I makes the catch.” A throw from center field to the plate, catching a runner, was another fiature by the gaptain. On the Jew- ett City side the battery work was Gene by I'Heureux and Williams, taking a turn in the box and behind the bat. There will be a return game in Jew- etl City on July 8th, and the Waiters row want to hear from the Cannon- balls of New London and any other o0 wanized teams. No pickups or r1ubs need apply, soys the Waiters' c: ptain. It was rumored about town last night that several big league scouts were in the gandstand watching the game, and all were very much impressed with the work of Captain Scanion. Tt 1; doubtful if he can be ary price just now, as he teeded by the W.’«H!rrw‘ an ato fill his place ‘would be almost an impossibil- ity. Sore Heads. Mr. Editor:—"Sorehead” seems to he the only word in the vocabulary of the people who are at present in control of baseball in Jewett City. Any opinion or honest criticism that in any way conflicts with the views of the mana- ger or his manager 1 by the above mentioned term, shead.” If by “sorehead™” meant disgusted patrons of the game, who their good¥money—20 vents per the $25 fans with the (not on it kind), then the town i heads” and any fair minded person readily see the cause of such a state of affairs. Jewett City is second to no place of s size in the number‘and loyalty of its baseball supporters and yet one need but little time to fAind that the manner in which the team ha ted and played thus far th! far from mesting the approval of the pay~- vou-go brand of supporiers. At a meeting held the latter part of December, 1908, it was stated that a certain number of men—twelve, if I remember correctly — ha pledged themseives to the amount of $25 each to finance the team for the ses n. Think of it—finance a team which has always been a financial success in it- self.” It looks to me as if these men were simply buying an opinion. Owing to the fact that they pledged them- selves thus, they were entitled, they thought, to the eontrol of the club, and proceeded to elect a presideni, mana- ger_and secretary. 3 No need to mention that the $25 from each of these men failed to materi ize. They wished for the control and the bluff of financi gave it to them. The presi: ince re- signed and the se y not dip- ped a pen since in connection with the Jewett City B. B. club. So far so good. “But we need some money to get started,” says the mana- ger. He couldn’t reach the $300. It was only promised. So a fair was run and the general public—the present day “soreheads"—furnished the money so badly needed. Why? Up to this time every player in town was to be given an impartial tryout, neither fear nor favor to influence the selection of players for the different positions; but after the fair certain players are booked for positions re- gardless of the fact that records of other aspirants for the same positions woul dwarrant a tryout at least. Local players are tied down by the fact that the permission of the mana- ger Is hecessary to enable them to play in any other team of the league, and have the alternative of playing here for what Is in some cases but half the money they can get elsewhere or not play at all—and yet people from other towns are brought in here and played under fictitious names and paid mucn more than local players were offered or get, and so far they haven't shown any decided superiority over the local players in question.
