TEN-GAME SERIES. Bulletin Will Roll New London Day Duckpin Five. In response to a feeler sent out by The Bulletin’s duckpin team to see if the New London Day wanted to Toll a series of games, Jule Moran of New London_replies es follows: Jule informs the sporting editor of the Day that he can and will raise a team that will show _the Norwich rollers the way home. It is also Jule's contention that his _aggregation of ~warriors, whatever that means, will come out on top In anything from pinochle and poker to pink teas. He, therefore, throws down the gauntlet to our friends in the Rose of New England and statés that he and his Dbunch are at their service any time. The team will be bona-fide employes of_the Da: Now, let’s start something! Competition for places on The Bul- letin's team is so flerce at the present time that they need this week for an elimination series, but they will roll the Day a series of ten games, the frst five in New London on Saturday evening, Jan. 29th, and the second five in Norwich the following Saturday, the side winning_the most games to win the series. The teams are to conmsist of five men each. Glover a Shade the Beeter. New York, Jan. 18.—Mike Glover of Boston had a shade the better of Mar- BY JACK "TWIN™ Dout before the Brown A.

Detroit, Jan. 18.—Claude Rossman, the first baseman, who was traded by the Detroit baseball team to the St. Louis Browns last season for Tom Jones, has declared that he would not Dplay first base with the Browns the coming season. Rossman is now em- ployed by the Michigan State Tele- phone company. 3 “I will play an outfield position if Hedges Is anxious for me to be a member_of his team,” said Rossman, “but I will not play a minute on first base, and so far that is the only po- sition that Hedges has offered me. “Hedges knows where I stand on these questions, and as he has secured Abstein I suppose the latter will play the initial sack next season.” AFTER THE WEIGHT HONORS. Bill Cary of Ireland Here With Many Records in His Belt. G Martin _Sheridan, John Flanagan, Babe McDonald and other weight throwers—beware! Bill Cary of Ire- land is here, and is looking for trouble. Cary is the latest importation from Ireland and he has a great shot put- ting record. Those who know say he is a wonder et ¥, and will make the ‘husky weight men around New York take a back seat. Cary will make his initial appear— ance at the Pastice A. C. zames at Madison Square Garden on Jan. 28 in the 28-pound shot put. All the cham- pions are waiting for that date to roll around, a they want to take a crack at this latest wonder. Coming Pool Champion. Chicago, Jan. 18.—The winner of the coming Heuston-Keough pool match for the world’s championship will be called to defend his title by Clarence Safford, a hitherto unheard of player from this city. Safford’s caliber was well demonstrated last week, when he ty Rowan of New York in a ten-round defeated Cowboy Weston in a 500 ball match. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. MARKET VERY IRREGULAR. Professional Trading Element Com- pletely Mystified—Prices End at Lowest of the Day. New York, Jan. 18.—It is a rarity in stock market experience to see so vio- lent a price movement as that which was in _force yesterday and last week arrested so completely and suddenly as was the case for the greatest part of today. The culmination of a mov ment in one direction usually occurs on active trading, quickly followed by a violent reaction. The departure from precedent in today’s market proved compietely mystifying to the profes- sional trading element. Thelr efforts to conjecture what lay beneath the sur- face of the market resulted in an ex- ceedingly confused and irregular move.- ment. Time and again a fall in price was arrested by the appearance of de- termined buying and bidding for stocks. On the other hand, the demand repeatedly died out in course of the numerous rallies and left the market dull and meglected, without apparent power of initiative. The seeming lack of aggressiveness in following up the buying on rallies lulled the uncovered bears into a sense of security and they showed no signs of anxiety to cover their short contracts until late in the dar. The unyielding resistance devel- oped to the fall in prices by that time hegan to get on the nerves of the bears and their covering operations caused an upward reaction that put e more natural complexion on the market. Prices dropped back abruptly to the lowest of the day when the Hill stocks broke in the last hour. Foreign sell- ing of stocks was an important influ— ence in the early unsettlement, large lling orders for London account be- ing executed in all of the leading in- ternational stocks. This was the ex- pression of financial London’s opinion of the course of the English elections. The fall in British consols today and vesterday has covered nearly a full point. In ordinary circumstances such fears of socialistic government policies as are professed by the London finan- able decline in prices of Amierican se- curities which has occurred, would be expected to divert British. capital into American investments. The unloading of foreign speculative holdings proves more influential, at the moment, than any such investment takings. This contributed materially to the morning dip in prices which put some of the market leaders to prices lower than the lowest of yesterday. The selling of United States Steel was particu- larly large and persistent. In the northwestern granger group, on the other hand, there was some evidence of support, until the Hill stocks slump- ed late in the day. There was a re- vival of Tumors of the possibility of dividend reductions in the group which have been prevalent for several days. The large capital expansion of late years Dy the railroads of that territory and some falling off in earnings in the last month or two for some of them madie the groundwork of these rumors. The opening up of competition between some of these roads as a result of the new capital outlay is given as a pos- sible explanation of this declining ten- dency in earnings. Another spell of weakness in Rock TIsland which ac- companied the election of Rock Island representatives to the Lehigh Valley board was read as disappointment that the new order of things in that direc- tion did not go further. The proceed- ings ai the, annual meeting of the In- terborough - Metropolitan _stockholders brought some selling of those stocks. Jetin for business results.

Sporting Editor, Norwich Bulletin, Here's a sporting proposition, Mr. Edi- itor. to make the fans and bugs gather aroind the ringside and forget - such little affairs as the Jeffries-Johnson $101,000_mill, league pennants, et al.: Danhy Murphy vs. Ira Thomas on the mat for the championship of the White Elephants of the American league and exclusive rights to the flicker picture privileges winner to take all the chances. This match to be for straight falls, each man to register at least three falls within an hour or forfeit the gate receipts to Connle Mack; fadeaway holds, spikes and wind- shields barred; the contest to continue until one rets sent to the bench. Ira is hibernating in Danielson this winter; Danny is somewhere in the suburban_section of your good old town. We learn that he is going in for the grappling game. Ira put us on to that. Ira seems to be on to everything and he has only been here a little while at that. He figures that he could go out and get Danny on the mat. With that in view he has been doing some startling stunts with Young Hackenschmidt, a relative of Swat Milligan's, and ome of the mightiest near-champs that ever bought a steer- age ticket to any one of the mill towns in eastern Connecticut. This Hack beats everything on the boat. Ira is whanging away at the blg import ev- ery time he can get someone to mind the Dabies (his brother-in-law’s), and his condition is now bordering on the sup-e-r-b, This is all to be sprung as a sur- prise on Danny. He jsn’t supposed to have an inkling of it until they meet for the match. The idea is to_get all the fans wise, but to make Murphy think that Thomas is the ripest of the new lemon crop and as easy to beat as the Senators. Ira has everyone up this way on his staff and we want to see this pulled off In fact, he His made the biggest hit ever seen on the home grounds—and in midwinter at that. Kvery justice of the peace in the town has been around to admire the hero and feel his throwing arm. He has Janded right in the middle of the soctal whirl with one magnificent bound. He has won a pair of checker championships, causht some of the heaviest fish, become a society beau, and indulged in some few other dan- gerous and exciting pastimes, such as whist parties and the like. since ar- riving here to watch the blizards bliz. Ira is the star attraction of the frost- bitten season; and as the first real, live, bona-fide, certified and authentic specimen of a big leaguer that has ev- er honored this complacent burg with his presence for so lone a period, he is receiving more attention than the Cchurch soclals. Incidentally, he is forced now and again to say a few words about the creat national game. The fan is ever on his trial, Ira has taken the bunch around the American league circuit a dozen times or more, painting in mar- velous word pictures the doings of the sreat teams and the players that make ihem up. Maybe the Athletics are not the local favorites in the race for the flag next season. Bet you a million! Every kid in town wants to hear Ira tell_about it: likewise others that are no longer kids. The big fellow expects to stay +with us until it is time to hike for the southern training grounds nd we are going to find out a whole lot more about that White Elephant outfit before he gets awa Meanwhile, keep Danny blindfolded on that wrestling deal. Ira wants to spring it as a sort of world’s series. Tell the sports that it will be worth the money: tell them to wait. Yours mostly truly, FAN TA SAY. P.S.—Ira has fixed it up with Steve Coffey to look out for the box re- ceipts and referee the match. Steve is another big favorite up this way. WMcGrath in Coming Pool Match. Michael McGrath, formerly of this city and now professional pool cham- pion of the state, is matched for a Zame to be played soon, but the dates are not yet settled. It is to be against Tdward A. Raymond of New London, for 300 points. The first 100 points are to be played in Mystic, the second 100 in New London and the last block of 100 poinis will be divided between Mystic and New London, 50 points in ch. McGrath is the challenger for the match. Johnson’s Strength in His Arms. Jack Johnson, the pugilist, gave a poor impression cf his prowess when he essayed his stremgth in Dr. Sar- gent’s test at the Harvard gymnasium Friday night. His aggregate points were 884, which is low in comparison with many tests made by athletic stu- dents. All crew and football men have to exceed 800 before they are allowed on the teams, and recently F. H. Leslie, who rowed on the crew last year, ex- ceeded 1,200. Johnson showed im- mense strength in his arms, however. In Shape for Murphy-Collins. L. Nn Dondero and A. B. Small, contest committee for the Windham A. C., write The Bulletin that all is in shape for the wrestling match when Dan Murphy is to undertake to throw Bill Collins once in an hour before the club, an event that will furnish a top— notch attraction. Dan’s gtunt is to get Collins once in an hour. New Basketball Team. John Walsh has picked a few of the local basketball players to form a team and would like to hear from oth- er fives who want games. Walsh can be reached at the Central Athletic club rooms. His lineup will include Shea, Kearns, Driscoll, Walsh and Hynds. HARNESS HORSE NOTES. C. H, Traiser has sold Gracie Keller, 2.09'1-4, for export to Russia.

Sable Maid, 2.19 1-4, is a late addi- tion to Tommy Murphy's stable at Macon. Herman Tyson drove 30 winners in 71 starts last season, and only nine times was he back of the monex. With the Director Moore trotter, Guyrector, 216 1-4, he landed 10 races. Kilpatrick, the brother to Czarevna, 2.09 1-4, named after the great Yale football player, will be W, E. D.

General Watts may as well be drop- ped as a prospective starter in the big stallion races, the announcement Com-— ing from Kentucky that the champion Dr. J. C. McCoy says: “I wish to go on record as saying that I have be- lieved for years, and still believe, that the trotting gait s as fast, or faster, than the pacing gait, and I believe faster; that when the final speed of the trotter and that of the pacer have been i T have lived I expect to see a two year old trot in 2.05 and a three year old trot in 2.02 or better.” Yank Robbins, according to reperts from New York, will be a contestant in the games of the South Boston athletic club, to be held in Boston January Robbins recently an- s wn door running but the fact that he nounced himself as through with in- OUTRAGEOUS ASSAULT UPON TWO SMALL BOYS Committed by Unknown Man Who Took Them Down Railroad Track by Offers of Money and Gifts of Candy. £ . A flendish crime was committed up- on a twelve-year-old boy Tuesday evening about half-way_between this <city and the Norwich State hospital, on the line of the New Haven road, when an Olson boy, aged 12, was in- decently assaulted by an unknown man Who lured the boy with his younger brother to that spot on the pretence of giying them some money and candy. The hoys were accosted by the man about 830 o'clock in Main street and asked if they wanted to make a dime. They at once sald they did and he told tHem to come with him, as he wanted them to_deliver a note, . He took them down Laurel Hill way upon the railroad track and continued down the track 8o a poirit below the paper mill where he assaulted the older broth- er. The younger brother was struck in the face and head several times hy the man as a means of frightening him into keeping quiet. As soon as they could get away the boys came to the city and reported the affair to Captain Linton. They were thoroughly fright- ened and could give but liitle idea of the man, although they told of his be- ing well dressed and rattling money in"his pocket, saying “I've got plenty of money.” He was a youns man with an overcoat. Captain Linton put his men at work on the matter at once, Sergeant Two- mey, Policemen Fenton, Driscoll, and Ebberts being detailed, and they cov- ered the territory thoroughly, but the fellow had had plenty of opportunity to get away. He was tracked throush the snow up over the hill to the high- way, coming out near the Spicer place, ibut 'there trace of him was lost. The yvounger boy's face was covered with blood from the punching he re- ceived and he has a black eye. WOLGAST WAS FRESH. Tried to Kid Tommy Murphy—Latter Says Battling Will Lick Ad. Tommy Murphy recently gave a New York paper the story of his battle with Wolgast, proclaiming Ad the freshest kid in'the fight game, and tells why he thinks Nelson nwill beat him. Here it is: “Wolgast was nretty ' new _then says Tommy reflectively. “He was green and there were a lot of things he didn’t know. He had an overhand wallop that was all right, only it took him a long time to send it in and a quick man could muss him all up while he was trying to connect. But he had been out on the coast and he was fairly chesty. “I was in the dressing room getting ready to go on, and the door opened, and In came 'Wolgast. He walked over and looked at me. It was the first time I had seen him. “‘Hello, kid’ says he. ‘Are vou Tommy Murphy that I'm going to fight tonight?" “I was a little surprised at the roush way he said it, but I said that my name was Tommy Murphy, and I was. going to do my best for him ~ He stuck out his hand to shake with me, squeezed it once, and then threw it away as hard as he could, and went out, banging the \door after him. Of course, I was on right away. I knew the old stuff he was giving me—trying to scare me before we zot into the ring. -, “Well, we had a busy little fight. He kept shooting at me with that over- hand trolley punch, and I kept beating him to it and poking him in the face. Yes, I should say that I mussed him up quife some. “When the fight was over he came over to shake hands again, and he wasn't quite so brash. 1 shook with him, but when he put out his hand I said, ‘Hello, are you that Dutch boy from Milwaukee that was going to fight me tonight?” He didn't know what to say to that. “Now, “about this Wolgast-Nelson fight—it's like this. Nelson will have to go back a long way before a man ke Wolgast can lick him in a long fight. I don’t know whether there is any truth in this stuff about Nelson bemg all tired out toward the end of the Hyland fight, but I should say that a man who will keep boring in and pegging along all the time can Dbeat Wolgast to most of his punches, and he won't get much swinging that trolley punch at Nelson. Of course, [ don’t know how much Wolgast has im- proved, It was only last September that I fought him in Pittsburg, and be'd have to fmprove some over tha- form before I can see him in any- thing like an even fight with Nelson. DIAMOND JOTTINGS. Manager Chance of the Chicago Cubs will have fifty players to look after when he goes 'to New Orleans to start spring doings. The Cubs drafted a hard-hitting twirler in Jake Pfeffer, whom Jack Dunn let go to the Maple Leafs to cut down the Oriole roster to the league lmit. Manager Griffith proposes to give Pitcher Franzel Hosp. the California recruit, a trial at shortstop. Those who ought to know say Hosp can play a game at short equal to any man. “Schoolmaster” Sam Leever repeat- ed his performance with the 1303 champion Pirates by leading the Na- tional league flingers in the few games in which he participated during the 1909 season. Charley Murphy offered 32,500 for Pitcher Humphreys last week. Then Fogel looked over his list and_ discov- ered he owned Humphreys. He may give him a trial at Southern Pines before disposing of him. Manager Ashenback of Altoona and all of the Tri-state league players de- clare that if any recruit can mak £00d next season fn the majfor league it is Outflelder Ayres. He is declared o be “as g0od a base runner as Cobb. Roger Bresnahan’s New Year's res- olution is that he will catch in every game the St. Louis Cardinals play next season. The jolly Roger says that he will make the records of Me- | Guire and Gibson fade into obscur- ity. Capt.

Clarke Grimth, manager of the Reds, is thinking seriously of taking a Whirl at indoor baseball in Cincinnat! this winter. Professional teams have in- vaded Redland this season and are aft- er the Old Fox as a stellar drawing card.
