Hilton has been dewn over the road, walking some of it and going the rest by trolley, and says that there are some bad 'spots where he will have to Jook out for twisted ankles, but he feels in fime condition and confident of ac: complishing his self im) task of making the miles in 1 hour and 45 minutes, What He is Out to Beat. Previous marks recorded for the city- to-city distance which he expects to put Into the background are A. H. Chappell's amateur record of 2 hours 15 _minutes 67 seconds, made in 1867; “Chilly” Hazlehurst's time of 2 hours 1 minute, Fred Kasch's 2 hours 14 minutes, a mark of 2 hours made by a man named Walsh in 1867, and Ser- geant Walsh's time of 2 hours, this spring. From Y. M. C. A. to Y. M. C. A. Hilton will start at 2.15 p. m. from the New London Y. M. C. A, paced by an automobile, and finish at ths Norwich Y. M. C. A, coming into this city along Main stret and up Broad- way, probably about 4 o'clock, if he lives up to his running schedule. He will run in regulation running costume, wearing the insignia of the Rose of New England on his shirt. Steve Coffey, who was referee for the Hazle- hurst and Kasch runs, which were also made in the winter time, will officciate 4n the same capacity for this run.

Stagg's Ideas of Revised Football— Changes to Lessen Roughness. Chicago, Dec. 2i.—Coach A. A. Stagg yesterday applied the knife to the forward pass in the cause of sane football, The unversity of Chicago men operated on the forward pass rules with a view of lessening the an- nual toll of football deaths and in- juries and will present the results to the national experts at next Tuesday’s meeting of the International Athletic assoclation in New York. = Coach Stagg’s ideas for footbail revision fol- ow ! g “Not to allow pulling or pushing of the men carrying the ball in order to prevent mass plays and striking with the force of two ov\three men in a compact body. “To Temove the penalty for an un- completed forward pass on the first and second down. ~ Let the ball be ‘brought back to the point from which it was thrown without penalty, to encourage open and spectacular play. To put a pema\y on a player for crawling with the ball, and to enforce the penalty for dropping on a man who s on the ground. “To protect the receiver of forward passes and onside kicks = from hard body checking. “To legislate as far as possible for the removal of players suffering from exahustion by urging upon coaches and trainers to remove such men and by having a rule that a man who takes out time the second time shall be put out of the game by the referee, “To limit the halves in high school, preparatory school and all untrained teams to no more than 25 minutes Yale-Harvard Tie New York, Dec. 24. legiate chess tourney between four students éach from Columbia, Harvard, Yale and Princeton begun here Wed- nesday was concluded today, when Harvard beat Yale 2 1-2 to 1 1-2 and Columbia won from Princeton by 3 to 1. In the total score Harvard and Yale each have won 7 points. The tie will be played off some time after the holi- days, probably at New Haven. Colum- bia scored a total of 6 1-2 and Prince- ton 3 1-2 points. Jewett City’'s Fast Goal Shooters. Jewett City's basketball team under Manager Lague is showing the town some fast games this season. One of the best games was with Sterling this week, when Sterling proved worthy op- ponents in every way, and Jewett City only won out in'a desperate rally in the last few minutes by the score of 7 1-2 to 6 1-2.

New York, Dec. 24.—Today's was a holiday stock market in the seasonable dullness which restricted the activities almost wholly to the closing up of con- tracts. The holiday spirit was mani- fest also in the cheerful and hopeful sentiment prevailing, although it is to be sald that it is not a usual character- istic of speculative markets to post- pone acting on such sentiments. The constraint on activity is partly due to the desire to await tHe year-end money settlements and a dread that flurries in the call loan market may occur in the last week of the year. Borrowing on call today carries over until Mon- day and the eyidence of oversupply of funds as tife day progressed helped to allay apprehension on this point and conduced to the stiffening of prices of stocks. Discounts eased also in forelgn markets, indicating the prospect of money relaxation after the turn of the vear. Another sharp relapse in foreign exchange rates pointed to the specula- tive nature of some of the recent strength in that market and the over- supply of exchange bills left on hand as a consequence. Individual stocks here and there continued to show marked strength, but the subsequent course of stocks which have had such movements recently does mot_inspire confidence in the example. Reading second preferred oollapsed violently today, running off 11 1-2 points fwom the top price touched in the volatile rise of yesterday. The similar course of the Atlantic Coast Line collateral bonds lately is too fresh in the recol- lection of stock operators not to serve as an obfect lesson. The most- con- spicuous movement today was in the Rock Island group, both in the stocks and in the collateral bonds secured by the 0l Rock Tsland stock. Bellef in \dentical control of this company, Le- high Valley and Wabash still figured @s the chief influence in the move- ment. An advance in the price of cop. per metal in London gave an upward impetus to stocks of the copper indus- trials. The large shifting of loans that has been going on during the week was indicated by the actual decrease of $11,902,800 in that item of the clearing house hanks as against an Increase in the averages of non-clearing house in- stitutions of $12,034,100. The actual statement failed to show the expected gain in cash and reported a small de- crease. Coupled with the loan con- traction, this caused the decline in da- posits to outrun that in loans, thus broadening again the excess af loans over deposits, which has been in course of correctiori for several weeks past, The bank statement did not appear until after the stock market closed and was not appraised in the dealings there unless the reactionary movément late in the day was due to some advance knowledge that the showing would be DOMINIGK & DOMINICK ‘Established 1870 Members of the New York Stock Exchangé: .

JOSS AWARDS THE PALM ’ : TO CY YOUNG. If There's Any Pitcher Who ls the “Greatest,” It's Cy. ° Addie Joss, the Cleveland pitcher, was recently in a reminiscent mood, and naturally was talking baseball. In the course of conversation the sub-' ject of “thy test pitcher came up, and Addie’s comments, coming one of the best hurlers in the business, were Interesting. “Who is the best pitcher?” said Ad- e, when asked ‘for his opinion. ‘There isn’t any ‘best pitcher.” I have never believed in such a being as the ‘best” and I never shall, “To my mind, the fact that no man’s record is consistently remarka- ble for a term of years precludes the possibility of picking the leader. One season It may.be Mathewson, who ap- pears beat, another .Bro another Mullin, another Donovan, and so on down the list. Then, too, there are a lot of good pitchers with poor clubs who don’t have the records of some others, yet pitch just as good as the league’s leading pitchers. “Take Walter Johnson, for instance. Put him on the Chicago National league club, with its fine defensive .work, and he wouldn't lose five es a season, provided the Cubs wor get a couple of runs a game for him. An- other good man ‘with a poor club is Rucker, the Brooklyn star, one of the best left handers who ever stepped on the mound. Look at Mathewson's work this year. On a club that finished a poor third he led the league. “If there were any such thing as the ‘greatgst pitcher,’ Cy Young would be about close to the mark as any- one. When a man ,after pitching all these years, can go in and show the kind of ball that old Cy has shown this season, he is about as great as any man in the world. “Bill Donovan, when he is right, 1s one of the hardest men to beat. In fact he is almost invincible with any kind of support. No pitcher ever gave his club better service than Mullin gave the Detroit people in 1909. He was In there pitching winning ball day aft- | er day, as steady as a rock against all sorts of ‘hitters. “This fellow Adams, df Pittsburg, looked good in the final game at De- troit, although he did not impress me so strongly in his two earlier games. He had a nice curve ball, good con- trol and plenty of merve in that clos- ing contest of the world’s series. I would like to see him work when he had to ‘go some’ and pitch himself out of a few holes. That's the real test. “I honestly believe that if a man- ager had the proposition put to him to select the best pitcher from among the ten leaders in either league, he % % | to would have a hard time choosing. And it is a cinch that when he once had chosen he would kick himself for not taking someone else.” GOTCH HAS GRIP THAT CRIPPLES FOES “Doc” Roller Has Felt 1t—Came from Holding the Plow. “Do you know what rhakes Frank Gotch the greatest wrestler in the world?" inquired Dr. Roller, who westled with Gotch in the ~ west. “Well,” he continued, “it isn't speed nor his wonderful strength. Now, I will give you one guess. The man addressed took one‘guess. “Yes you're right,” said the doctor. “It's the hands—the viselike grip that sends us fellows chasing second mon- e ‘When it comes to work with his Hands, Gotch is in a class by himself. A great many people think Gotch is much stronger than yours truly, but such is not the case. In actual strength there is very little choice between us, It's the hands. I haven't got that wonderful grip. No man has it ke Gotch, “Shoving a_plow when he was a boy | and continual training in that depart- ment have developed Gotch’s hands until they are like fron. Farmer Burns is the only other wrestler that I know of who comes near comparing with the champion in the gripping department. This hand story, how- ever, Is not offered As an excuse. Even with the same development Gotch would probably beat m Long Fight Johnson's Best Suit. ‘Willlam Muldoon, who'once ‘trained { John L. Sullivan, say: *“1 would like % | to see Jeffries win, but I fear he has been out of the ring too long. 1 | should not be at all surprised to see i the outcome of the fight similar to that between Corbett and Sullivan. When men get along in years they wear down in any contests involving strength and stamina, especially when they have been inactive for several years. It's a sure thing that Jeffries will never be able to punch the bag as long and as hard as he could six years ago, and that is thé best indi- cation that he will never be the same. 1 look for Johnson to win, but in the early rounds he must take cave mnot to let Jeffries get one in on him or | there will be some counting. Jeffries will be dangerous for a while, But the negro can tire him out by adopting defensive tactics, especlally in a 45 round fight.” Bulkeley Here for Basketball, The Bulkeley basketball team has been secured as their holiday attrac- C. A, Manager Bruce having received the acceptance of the date from the Bulkeley boys. Bulkeley has played some good games this season, but ran up against a good beating last Sat- urday at the hands of the New Haven high school, 45 to 9. They will be the strongest five the Mighty Five has met, but as the Y. M. C. A. team has added Jack Gallivan to its lineup recently and is playing a nice team game, they are figuring on showing Bulkeley a fast and winning gait. The Mighty Five lineup is now: Gal- livan and Tuttle, forwards; Swan, cen- ter; Clish and Rankin, guards. Not Barring Strangle Hold. In his final wrestling match here this afternoon with Chief Fighting Bear Jack McGrath has consented have the strangle hold ail- lowed, which was: one of the condi- tions insisted upon by the Bear's man- ager. It will be the first Jocal match in which this hold has been permitted. The limited time bout between Dan Murphy of this city and Bill Collins of Central Village will be an attrac- tion almost equal to the big go, as advertised. Chief Fighting = Bear, the Indian wrestler, arrived here from Springfield on the 9 o'clock train Friday eévening, accompanied by his acting manager, J. A. Richardson, a prominent Springfield sporting man. Jim Barnes is away in Maine, where he has a bout. The chief quigkly got into his Indian toggery, khaki and feather head- gear, attracting much attention as he mingled on the streets with the Christ- mas shoppers.
