NORWICH BRANCH : “$7Breadway_ Telephone 901 ity | 1909 a share of | (capt.), I Games played, After a record which made thelr sea- son a splendid success, as shown by the figures given above, the Academy football team closed their season on Thanksgiving day with the_topnotch performance of defeating the Yale Con- solidated team, 11 to 0, which, it is said is the first time a Yale Consoli- dated team has failed to score on the Academq. Captain Jack Gallivan’s 1909 eleven will go down on record as one of the best drilled on general team play which made effcctive the work of the three or four star men, and the sup- porters of the team would back, it to beat anything of its weight fn the state, Starting with the certainty of a light- weight eleven, in comparson with some former Academy squads, Ct Bun- nell has won another cluster of football laurels by turning eut a team well versed In the modern open game, Which has made the Academy & winning scor- ing machine against its rivals. The scoring power of the eleven lay in a trio who were playing their last sea- son for the Acads ‘aptain Galli- van, Halfback Noyes and Quarterback Hendrick, who have been stars in the use of the forward pass. Neyes has been the man to throw it with unfail- ing accuracy and distance, while Galll- van and Hendrick could be depended FIGHT ARTICLES SIGNED. Jeff-Johnson Championship Battle in Califors or Utah. New York, Dec. 3—The Jeffries- Johnson fight for the heavyweight champlonship of the world will be fought either in Salt Lake City or in the vicinity of Ban Francisco on July 4 next. Final articles were signed by the principals today in e hotel at Ho- boken, N. J. Neither of the contestants according to the articles is to engage in any boxing contest before the dats of the big fight. This effectively ends the possibility _of Johnson meeting Langford or Jeftries fighting Kaufman between now and then. Both, it is fur- Top row—N. W.

Welles, the 190 pound tackle, was also a reli- able heaver of the pass, but he played in-only three games, when he was put out by the only serious accfient of the year, when he broke a bonme In his ankle at Mystic. Steve Ricketts at center, who also closes his football ca- reer this season, was another consider- able factor in the success of the team through his smooth handling of the ball as snapback and _general all around play. Lawler and McCormick, the other two men In the backfield, did no small part in the Academy game, being valuable in the interference and strong on the defensive, while towards the end of the season McCormick de- veloped nto a good Hne borer. Swan and Lawson, the two tackles, and Isbister and Walsh,the two guards, were all new recruits this year, but proved their worth, while Gebrath ‘at right end, although the lighest man on the team, outplayed about every op- ponent he faced gnd was a terror to cpposing runners with his flying tack- les.

Explanation for Reversal of Yesterday's Course Not Forthcoming. , without any well defined explanation for the rever- sal of yesterday’s course. The influ- ences in the market were, for the most part, denials of assertions current yes- terday which caused prices to decline, or renewed assertions of changes in the course of events which were de- pressing the market yesterday. Reports were circulated that the switehmen's strike in the northwest was not des- tined to a long continuance. Late in the day came a report from Chicago that it had been actually settled. The hopeful feeling on this matter relieved the merket from considerabls pressure. There was a parallel change of feel- ing on the subject of the forthcoming message of the president to congress. It was said today that yesterday's re- ports from Washington of radical rec- ommendations to be incorporated in the message were not well founded. Pro- fessed forecasts of the contents of the message confined them within the lines of the series of addresses made by the president on his tour of the coun The tendency to reverse the opin. jon of things was, taken to point to a professional origin for much of the dealings in the market. The announce- me.t of the acquisition of a majority | of the stock of the Equitable Life As- surance society by J. Plerpont Mor- san, together with the control of the Equitable and the Mercantile Trust companies involved was of imposing effect. The transaction was viewed in connection with the earller acquisition. of the Guaranty Trust company by a partner of the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co. The prodigious centralization in the directing power of credit institu- tions resulting from this suggests a line of policy dominant in the foremost financial’ minds of the country which seems to indicate confldence in exemp- tion from effective interference in the process of combination and sonsoli- dation. The Incident was an underly- ing influence on the day’s stock mar- ket of considerable force. A resump- tion of the concentrated operations in United States Steel on a rising scale was not dissociated from this feeling. Preliminary estimates of the week's currency movement show some very | strong currents in the movement. Sub- treasury operations, including deposits for telegraphic transfer to San Fran- cisco, have absorbed $6,476,000, and the gold outgo to South America has tak- ‘en $5,350,000 more. Gold has gone to Canada also in large vclume during the week. Yet bankers compute a suffi- cient return from various domestic points to cut down the net decrease in the cash item to less than $2,000,000. | The loan changes are obscure, owing to the effort of the December 1st dis- bursements and the deposits against the retirement of Chicago, Rock Island | and Pacific raliroad collateral fives, in {connection witl: the sale of the St. Louis and San Francisco. The call money rate did not get above 5 per cent and this somewhat easier tone in that department was more regarded than forecasts of the bank statement. Bonds were irregular, Total sales, par value, $4,496,000. United States ‘bonds were unchanged on call.

This stakeholder question was debat- ed for several hours in the New York office of Henry I Kowalsky, a San Francisco lawyer. Johnson, ever cau- tious, suggested a safe deposit box with three I each of the contestants to hold one key and the third to be held by a disinterested party. The promot- ers objected to this and the plan out- lined above was finally adopted. John- son throughont seemed to be fearful lest someone might deraud him. Stock Company for Moving Pictures. The moving pictures, which are look- ed to bring in the most money, will be managed and controlled by a stock company to be formed, with Jeffries and Johnson each holding a one-third interest, and with Rickard and Glea- son holding the gther third. George Little, manager for Johnson, said today that Johnson was willing to accept Bddie Graney of San Francisco, and one of the unsuccessful bidders for the fight, as referee. Rickard and Gleason are also favorable to Graney, it is understood. Attachment on Rickard’s Money. An_unfeeling constable slapped an attachment for $1,950 on the stakes tonight to make doubly sure that “Tex” Rickard pays a judgment for that amount issued against him last September in Nevada. ~Rickard was also served in person. The plaintiff in whose interest the writ was served is a physician who aalleges that professional services ren- dered Rickard’s family, while they lived in New York in 1907, were never paid for, Norwich Soccer Champions Play To- day. Right in line with all the other ath- letic championships coming this way in the past season is the Norwich As- sociation football team, which plays Jewett City on the Sachem park field this afternoon, giving the local sup- porters a good chance to look over the classy soccer game which Captain Hil- ton's team is playing. In all the re- sultant sgitation sbout the American style of the Rugby game, this Norwich- Jewett City contest will also furnish opportunity to compare the two gumes, Jewett City is to present a lineup that will glve the Norwich men a good sharp tussle from the time of the kick= off at 3 o'clock. Another Cuban Invasion. Seyen major league baseball players left Chicago Thursday on their way to Cuba to play with an American team in a series of games with the teams around Havana. Among the players were Mordecal Brown, pitcher for the Chicago Nationasl; Addie Joss, pitch- er, Cleveland Americans; James Ar- cher, catcher, Chicago Nationals; Sher- wood Magee, outfielder, Philadelphia Natlonals; Fred Merkle, first baseman, New York Americans; J. Lelivelt, out- fielder, Washington Americans; ' Her- man Schaefer, second baseman, Wash- ington Americans. The remainder of teh team will be picked up on the trip south, Contradict Statements. In regard to the statement made by Manager Larkie of the Mohicans in Friday morning’s Bulletin, the Heavy- weights wish to state that a great Larki Heavyweights i has accepted terms of Owner Gil Bd many false reports were attributed to the playing of _the Heavyweights' schedule; furthermore, we wish to ask what claim the Mohicans have to the championship of Norwich and vicinity, as they have played but six games. winning. one, tying two and losing three. These are the facts on which the Heavyweights claim the champion- ship; We have played eight games, lost one, tied one and won six. We also wish to ontradict Larkie's statement that we were defeated by Baltic twice, for the first game with Baltic we lost, 5-0; the second we won, 12-5, and the’ third we won, 6-0, each time playing against teams of much greater weight and experience. Furthermore, we stated a week be- fore our last Saturday's game that it was to be our last game of the sea- son, ‘win or lose, and regardless of all challenges appearing in The Bulletin after that date.

PITCHER LUBY ACCEPTS AS NORTHAMPTON MANAGER Twirler Will'Lead the Players— Edwards Looks After Business End. Bill Luby, the former Springfield pitcher and all-around ball player, wards to manage the Northampton Daseball club the coming season. Lu- by will also be-one of the active players on the list and will t{k! his turn in the box.. And when not pitch- ing he will cover an outfield post. The fans in Northampton are satis- fled with the choice of Luby as boss of,the club and look for him to make a 'good showing in the Connecticut league race. He will have charge of the players, the hiring and all that, ‘while Edwards will be head engineer of the club’s funds. Luby is confident that Northamp- ton fans ean be made to enjoy base- ball more than/ they did last year, and he proposes to do all he can for their happines: Norwich Team Lost at Westerly.' Allie Murphy and Julian Harris from the Rose alleys went to Westerly on Friday evening for a two-man team match with Packard and Casey, but| lost three games out of the five. The Norwich men made a good start by capturing the first two games, but the Westerly pair came strong at the finish and took the last three straight. There | will be a return match here next Tues- day evening.

It seems to be common talk in De- troit that the Tiger club is going to | let out Delehanty and Tom Jones, who aided in winning the pennant and making the grand fight in the cham- pionship games. It has been stated that Del and Jones were secured just for the wind-up, as the Tigers were in a very bad way for a first sacker and a second baseman. Tom Jones may go, but the work of Delehanty was too good for Jen- nings to overlook him, and, what is more, there gre very few second base- men in the baseball woods _thes days. The fact that ome of th: brothers of the great Ed, who whacked out four homers and a two- sacker in one game, outhit Crawford, Cobb and the rest of the Tigers has led Jennings to believe that Delehanty will be a good man for second base mnext season. Baltic Lightweights ve. All-Stars. ‘What promises to be a great game of football will be played Sunday when the Baltic Lightweights line up | against the All-Stars. The Light- | weights will have their regular lipeup while the All-Stars will have such | good men as Texas Roy, Jack Adams, Coughlin and Bouchard. The game will start at 2.30 sharp. The All-Stars will line up as fol- lows: Brown le, Roy It, Simoneau lg, Smith ¢, O'Brien rg, Adams rt, Stand- ish re, Woods qb, Bouchard lhb, Kel- 1y rhb, Coughlin fb. Demarest Is Champion at 18.2. New York, Dec. 3.—Calvin Demarest of Chicago won the final game and the championship tonight, defeating George Sutton of Chicago in the world’s professional series at 18.2 balk line line billiards by 500 to 78 in the fourteenth inning. Connie Trades Shortstop for Outfielder Philadelphia, Dec. 3.—It was an- nounced by the local American league baseball shortstop of the Philadelphia team, has been traded for Outfielder Goode of Cleveland. NOTES OF SPORT. Jennings has a new man who will be tried out at first base. He is Gaynor from the Pacific Coast league. The acceptance of soccer football at Georgetown may induce the university of Virginia, Tech., and other southern colleges to do the same. Baseball prospects at Dartmouth for next spring are very encouraging. All of last years nine, with the exception of Schildmiller, will be available. Earl B. Ramsdell is the unanimous choice of the Trinity college football team for next year's captaincy. Rams- dell has been a varsity player for two years, and has been one of the stars of the backfield. Manager Griffith will return to Cin- cinnati in a few days, after having spent a month on his Montana ranch. surroundings. Connie Mack has just signed four California stars for next spring, Hal linan, Burns, Hoag and Pfyl. Halli- nan is a third baseman and Burns a catcher. Both come from St Mary's college, where Harry Krause used to | pitch. Hoag is a pitcher and Piyl a first baseman. When the_ news spread around through the Yale campus that Daly was captain, the comment upon the choice was very favorable, and it is believed that he will be popular with the undergraduates as Daly is per- sonally liked and is regarded as a good man for a leader. Cleveland will send several wood athletes to eastern colleges next fall. From University high, Dartmouth will get Hogsett, the ali-acholastic end, and also the first sub-all-scholastic tackle, Barstow. William Thompson, a crack haifback, and Garretson, a back, will enter Princeton. Mulling rchlldron'.
