He risked his rather delicate health by a cross continent trip in the e: tion of getting the fight. - Rick- ard assured him, as a to hid cha- grin, that a special ringside box would be built for-him and his friends. Largest Purse Ever Offered. The guaranteed purse for this fight is'the largest ever offered, but aporun? men believe the moving pictures will net even more. An indication of the value of the latter is the fact that Houseman, who had the Illinois rights to the Corbett-Fitzsimmons pictures, and paid $104,000 to Stuart as the promoter’s percentage for them, real- ized handsomely on his investment. Houseman is now the principal bidder for the rights for this coming fight. John L. Did Not Appear. John L. Sullivan was mentioned in the gossip today as a possible referee, but was not seen at headquarters. “John L. has been on the water wagon so long,” a volunteer explained, “that he will not permit himself to be tempted. For that reason he has not been around.” - / / No one belleves that Sullivan will be selecteq as referee. His age and bulk 4re his only handicaps, but-they are sufficient. The referee may be chosen tor ow, when the final articles are signed, New York, Dec. 2,—The fight for the heavyweight championghip of the world betweeil James J. Jeffries and John Johnson will be held in Cali- fornia, in the vieinity of San Francisco, on July 4, 1910, and will be staged by Tex Rickard of Nevada and’John J. Gleason of San Francisco. Their bid of $101,000 and two-thirds of the mov- ‘ing picture privileges to the contestants was formally accepted during a stormy meeting at Hoboken, N, J., this after- noon and the articles will be drawn up and signed there tomorrow. It is be- lieved the fight will represent more cash than any other fight in the his- tory of the prize ring. Moving Picture Rights a Factor. Thomas J. McCarey of Los Angeles, whose bid was considered highest by many, made a game race for his Pacific Athletic club, but his cause was with- out hope. James Coffroth, by virtue of his control,of the two basic patents on moving pictures, had decreed against MgCarey and his ally, Bddie Graney, of San Francisco, and the fight was given to Gleason and Rickard, who, it is conceded by sperting men, have an understanding with Coffroth—a sur- mise strengthened by the fact that Gleason and Coffroth ‘have shared one bid ip the past. McCarey and Graney estimate that the net value of the mov- ing pictures will amount to at least $200,000 and may be worth $400,000.

Coffroth, in which case it {s almost a certainty that the fight will be taken to Coffroth’s arena. Here unlimited contests are permit- ted without molestation, but the arena would have to be enlarged. Rickard Says “Salt Lake City.” Salt Lake City, Utah, Dec. 2—“It's up to Salt Lake whether it gets the big fight” said Tex Rickard in New York today, according to a despatch MARKET DEPRESSED. By Switchmen’s Strike and the Fear of Is- Spreading. New York, Dec. 2.—Speculative at- tention was diverted from the main eurrent of affairs in the stock market today in some by-channels having to do with special developments concern- ing raliroad properties and their rela- tions. The separation of the Rock Island and the St. Louis and San Francisco systems has given ground, from the first, for suppositions of read- justments to follow, which might in- volve momentous consequences to the existing balance of relations and con trol amongst railroad properties. To- day’s announcement from the Lehigh Valley of the coming entry into its di rectorate of the dominant powers in ‘the Rock Island company afforded light on one direction which the readjust- ment was taking. The inference to be drawn from this proved so confusing, howgver, that a state bewllderment was the most salient feature of the sentiment so far as it was disclosed by speculative operations in the mar- This confusion was ine d be- cause the new forces in Lehigh Val- ley were at some pains to disclaim lhz interest In the Wabash railroad whic! has been influenced for several days by an assumption that it was te come into the plans for the direction of Le- high Valley. Thig idea was not en- tirely relinquished; in spite of the dis- claimers, which lacked full officlal au- thority. The suppositions regarding the new ‘“deal” pointed, as an alterna- tive, to the Delaware, Lackawanna and ‘Western as an east=rn outlet for the Rock Island, to be linked by the Wa- bash, This alternative did not weak- en the effect of the Lehigh Valley transaction, owing to the close banking relations between the new forces in Lehigh Valley and ‘the Lackawanna element in the old Lehigh Valley con- trol. A\ ‘While e sale of old holdings in Lehigh Villey by the Take Shore, the Central Raflroad of New Jersey, th Reading and the Frie have been re- ported from time to tlime, no such ru- mors have been heard régarding Lac awanna holdings of that stock; which are assumed, therefore, to be in friend- iy relations with the new holdings now to be represented on the beard. The ‘Western Marvland reorganized prop- erty revived the conjecture of a pos- sible completion of its linking with the | ‘Wabash-Pittsburg for the carrying ou of the project for an ocean ouilet for tem, supposed at one time to have been abandoned. At the same time a wide field for surmise was | offered by the possible retasting of re. Iations to follow the acquisitfon of the St. Louis and San Francisco as an ad- | junet to the ‘Hawley holdings. From | the Missouri, Kansas and Texas, late- ly aequired by the same »apidly grow- ing power in the railroad world. The main lines of the day's topics, which are thus indicated, sufficiemtly show the possible scope of speculative in- genilty In suggesting variation and ex- tention for it. The joint effect. how- ever, was not stimulating to the mar ket. Considerabje effget has been feit already from t! preliminary opera- tions in cemnection with these develop- ments, and it is evidently feared that the consequence of the actual aceom plishment wowld be reactionary. The serious effects of the railroad switch- men s strike in the Morthwest and the fear of its spread had a depressing ef- fect. There came a report trom Wash- railroad securities were to be scrutin- ized under the suggestien that specula- tive interest in the stosk market, es- peefally by the New York banks, Do and Hgh Grds iwestmants Orders exeouted in and Bonds, Qeain aad : NORWICH BRANCH ¢ Teiephone § e s played tee I a part in their co duet. ‘l‘: m market element felt FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. an S8 il SRR SRR i FE T i 1480 Do. pta f 0 [ ( i 4] 4 §§| ssmuieifaninnatets| 8500 North American 5700 Northern Pacific 1100 Pacific Mail i burg.

Business men and Aight followers who commissioned Rickard to bring the fight here were angry earlier today when it was an- nounced San Francisco would get the fight.

Academy Makes Best Showing in Star Material—Selections from Bulkeley and Windham High. At the request of a lécal fan, the sporting edl}or of The Bulletin picks an all-interscholastic football eleven from the players that have comprised the Norwich Free Academy, Bulkeley high and Windham high school elev- ens. The selections made give the Academy six men, Bulkeley four and ‘Windham one on the chosen team, as follows: Bnds—Captain Gallivan, Academy; Captain Shea, Bulkeley. Tackles—Welles, Academy; Bulkeley. Guards—O'Neill, Bulkele: Center—Ricketts, Academ Academy. Quarterback—Hendrick, Academy. Halfbacks—Noyes, Academy; Beebe, Bulkeley, Fullback—Captain Richmond, Wind- ham. Captain Gallivan and Captain Shea easily get the call on the flank posi- tions, the former because of his gen- eral all-round play combined with ability to receive the.forward pass, and the latter as a player particularly strong on the defensive, and also one to be reckened on when given the ball for a gain. Of the tackles, Welles would overshadow anything that has been produced in the local field this season and would be the heaviest man on the team, contributing 190 pounds to the line. Both on offensive and de- fensive play he would be a winning factor, as he would be the strongest punter, a good man with the forward’ pass, a rock on the defgnse, and a sure ground gainer in the running game. Noble as the other tackle, would allow few gains threugh his position and would also be a ground gainer when given the ball to carry. In the guards position the material has been of rather medlocre quality, but O'Neill and Walsh, the one of two years' ex- perience and the other a newcomer to the gridiren, seem to have the call. Center goes to Ricketts, who adds to his steady and accurate passing, a strong defensive game in the line, and a pronounced ability to et out into the opert for tackles dnijany part of the field, occasionally gettipg down on kicks with the ends. In the backfield Hendrick has them all faded at quarter, for headwork, smoath handling of the ball, helping in the interference, and tackling sure- ly and persistently on- the defensive. Noyes and Beebe would meke a fast pair_of halfbacks, the Norwich man for his dashing dodges around end or through a broken fiéld; and for his ability in hurling the forward pass, while the New London man would contribute effective work through the line and both would be strong on the defensice. Either could also do, the necessary _punting if called upon. Windham high's one representa- tive gets on in Captain Richmond at fullback, but there is not much to choose between him and Glynn_ of Bulkeley or McCormick of Academy. Noble, Walsh, Slosson Gets Fourth Place. New York, Dec. 2.—By defeating Al- bert G.

Philadelphia, Dec. 2.—It was an- nounced last night that the University of Pennsylvania would surely meet Michigan on the gridiron next faM. It was rumored lately that Penn would drop the game with the Wolverines next year, but in contradiction to this comes the report that another two-vear agreement will be offered to the west- erners by the Quakers. The red and blue eleven has met Michigan four times and were only beaten in the game this season. Coach Yost, who is to coach the Wolverines again next year, will be glad to have ancther chance at the Quakers. as he is anxious to try conclusions with them again. Jersey Team Wants Basketball Game. The National Dbasketball team of Long Branch, N. J., champions of the Jersey coast, would like to arrange a game in Norwich during this or the coming month.

INCREASE OPEN PLAY. Remedy Advocated by Yale Daily News—Require 16 Yards in Three Downs. The Yale Daily News also calls for reform in tha football rules, advises barring tandem plays, protecting play ers taking forward passes and increase of the distance to be gained on downs to 15 yards. The editorial says: Now if the premise be granted that the open game is less dangerous and at the same.time more interesting from the spectators’ point of view, then this style of play wants to be; éncouraged. The most promising way to accomplish this is by wutting fewer restrictions on the forward pass, either as regards the action of the player making the pass or the government of those posi- tions permitted to receive the pass, and the reduction of the penalty for failure of the offensive team to intercept the ‘ball properly the lengthening of the required 10 yards in three downs to 15 yards, or a rule preventing the tandem formation commonly plung . pelling a different species of game. past year are accounted terrific coincidence of fate. These be- lieve that the open game is equally and dangerous than the close play formations. long as it exists, must be dangerous. agree with this idea. may possibly lay the players open to a greater liabllity of slight injury, but it will avoid the fatal injuries which seem to follow the mass plays.
