CHAPMAN, Harness and Carriages. Bath Streat janlsdaw LE (Special to The Bulletin.) Willimantie, Jan. 21.—Two wrestling and two sparring exhibitions comprised the preliminaries to the main go, the Ofurphy-Collins_handicap match, ' that completed_the fine card that was put on at the Windham Athletic club robms this evening. Kid Spivins and Piko Barber furnished amusement for seven minutes, Barber winning two falls. Peter Lewis referced. The second was a_fen minute exhibition between Peter Lewis ana Peter Young, neither obtaining a fall. 4 ‘Announcer L. N. Dondero next put on Kid Wilkerson of Lowell and Rob- inson, the young colored wonder of his city, for a boxing bout of four two-minute rounds. Wilkerson was 00 heavy and shifty for his opponent. The event of the evening was a vol- untary _sparring exhibition between Frank McLean and Fred Harris, both of this city, that caught the crowd right. They were given hearty ap- plause. Bill Collins of Central Village and Dan Murphy of Norwich,’right fielder of ‘the Philadelphia Americans, then held the attentlon of the audience for the windup. Murphy was considerably OTHER EVEP— Mine 7 B oA MURPHY“KiDDING THE CRowD WlRKIVNd‘I!’HILT O~ COLLINS, Treavier than Collins; but the latter's quickness and greater experience were factors that had to be contended with and many 2 time won the plaudits of the spectators by his masterful way of eluding his opponent. Murphy had & number of the earmarks of his in- structor, Jack McGrath, the Irish Giant, of Norwich, in that he went at ‘his man hard, but was more cool and gollected all the time and finally turned e trick by obtaining a fall after 41 minutes of gruelling work on a half nelson and wrist hold, thus winning the match and the side bet of $50 which was posted with the Sporting Bditor of The Bulletin. Frank McLean was referee and T. F. Connelly time keeper. GAYNOR AND WESTON. New York Mayor Gives Letter of In- troduction to the Champion Pedes- trian, New York, Jan. 21.—There was a little mutual admiration society meet- ing in the city hall today. when Ed- ward Payson Weston, the veteran pedestrian, called on Mayor Gaynor. Although the mayor may be classed as FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. PURGING OF STOCK MARKET. Bears Fruit—Good Absorptive Demand Shown at All Levels. New York, Jan. 21.—The stock mar- ket gave further evidence today of the £00d effect of the purging and rectify- 1= process to which it has been sub- jected this week. A good absorptive demand was shown at'all levels during the day. At the outset there,was some remaining trace of nervousness over the possibility of after effects from the Hocking Coal collapse and the embarrassments which it brought. This fecling was responsible for the morning dip in prices, which carried a few important stocks below last night's closing level, especially Amal- gamated Copper. That stock was af- fected to a degree by reports of re- newed apathy in the demand for cop- per and by the continued piling up of stocks of the metal in Burope. The 1 3-4 point dip ju_Amalgamated Cop- per had only moderate influence on the general list and the decline served to bring out a latent demand which proved an obstacle to further depres- sion. There was some selling, also, of the Harriman Pacifics on account of the morning’s report that the depart- ment of justice had definitely deter- mined to proceed with the suit to dis- solve the merger between those com- panies, The later announcement that the question was under advisement vet, had an influence in advancing prices. p The steady improvément in the mon- ey market and investment situation abroad was a helpful influence on the New York stock market. Investment purchases of securities were furnished from the continent to London and with continuing effect here, The decline in foreign exchange rates here was in- fluenced by purchases both of stocks and_cotton here for foreign account. Bankers also sold exchange against the placing of their finance bills with London lenders. The assurance thus given of resources to meet the ripen- ing requirements for new capital flo- tations and for carryine on projected enterprises is a prime factor in the more cheerful tone of the financial markets. Buying to cover shorts by the bears was an influence in the day's rise, but measures against the shorts did not seem to be aggressively pursued. The rise in prices was the occasion for some rumors of coming favorable de- velopments. 'The sharp advance in Puilman shares revived rumors of an intended extra distribution on the stock. The imminence of the United States Steel quarterly dividend meet- ing, which is to occur next Tuesday, made that stock the subject of aivi- dend rumors also. These took the form of an intended extra disburse- ment on the stock In addition to the regular 1 per cent. quarterly dividend. The vigorous advance in United States Steel was a notable sustaining influ- ence on the whole market, but no au- thentic information could be secured as to the directors’ intentlons regard- ing the coming dividend. Preliminary estimates of the week’s currency movement pointed to an- other heavy influx of cask to bank reserves, something near _$15,000,000 having been received apparently from all sources combined. The stock mar- ket of the week warrants an infer- ence of a substantial reduction in the loan acesunt and a consequent large addition to the margin of the surplus reserve. - Bonds were firm.

NEW LONDON READY FOR NEW BALL LEAGUE Fans in Whaling Town Showing In- terest in Proposed All-Nutmeg League. While persons who support sports are not inclined to take much interest in the outdoor affairs which come in warm weather, and snowballs ae more numerous than baseballs these days, the large group of baseball lovers in New London is showing interest in the proposition to organize a genuine Connecticut State league to start playing next summer. The idea of organizing clubs in cities like New London, Norwich, Middletown, Derby, Bristol, ~Willimantic, Meriden and Danbury isn't new by eny means, but was suggested years ago when the Connecticut league began to lap over the "border into Massachusetts. The &rowth of the league has been a ~ood thing for the Hartford, Springfied, and Holyoke clubs, but the other ci ics have trafled aiong and have just managed to keep in the game. Meri- den and New Britain do not belong, and Bridgeport lives only through the O'Rourke policy. With teams made up of young play- ers who are trying to break into fast company and don’t demand fancy sal- aries, the proposed-league could give the “fans” baseball like the good old days of the New London Athletic club, when the New London semi-pro- fessionals made the state leaguers hustle to win and all the games were fought to a finish. If Humphrey can put the idea into motion he will deserve the strong pat- ronage of New London and the thanks of the community at large, for base- ball is an attraction in the summer time which draws attendance from nearby towns and interests summer residents. The game has been dead long enough here and in Norwich to make a revival profitable—New Lon- don Telegraph. ‘Waterbury’s New Manage: Manager Frank Connaughton of Wa- terbury has an old head on his young shoulders and comes nearer to being a contemporary of Jim O'Rourke than any of the other managers. While not as”active on the field as he was 20 years ago, Connaughton knows the game thoroughly, and as a manager and leaving the playing part out, he has no superior in teh league. He has been connected with a good many clubs and_games in many cities have added to his experience, but he never mentions New Britain in this connec- tion. Semi-Finals in Racquets. New York, Jan. 21.—Spirited play marked the Semi-finals of the nation- al championships at racquets doubles today at the Racquet and Tennis club, Payne Whitney and M. S. Bar- ger, New York, beat J. S. Hoyt and Erskine Hewitt, Tuxedo. four games to nothing. In the second match L. Waterbury and R. R. Fincke, New York, won from H. D. Scott and George Fearing, Jr. Boston, by four games to two. American Tennis Faste Morris McLoughlin _and _ Melville Long, two California tennis pleyrs,who were runnersup in the last national tennis tournament, arrived in San Francisco this week from their trip to Australia. Both stated that they re- ceived the best of treatment in the antipodes. “The American players are faster than the Australians,” said Long “I am confident that Larned,our national champion, could beat any of the Australian feliows.” Return Game for C. A. C. Riordan, Sullivan, Slattery, Houlihan and Foley will make up the C. A. C. basketball five which will meet the Mighty Five of the Y. M. C. A. in a return match tonight. In a previous game the M. F. gave the C. A. C. a decisive beating, but with more ex- perience now the C. A. C. five is count- ing on reversing the score. The Water Spouts and the Baltic Imperials are down for a fast preliminary. To Even Up With Jewett City. The Taftville basketball team will try to even up matters with the Jewett City five when they go up to the bor- ough on Monday evening. The follow— ing lineups matke certain about as fust a game as has been seen on the floor: Taftville—Caron, E. Fontaine, Des- jardins, Abers, J° Fontaine, V. Fon- taine. Jewett City—Duprey, Robertson, 1’Heureux, Wakefleld, Bottom, Popham and Gingras. Duckpin Match. Captain Bugene Sullivan has picked his duckpin five to meet Captain Ris- ley’s men in a three-game match at the Rose alleys that afternoon at five o'clock. The team will comprise Corn- ing, Whitney, Bjurstrom, Curran and Captain Sullivan, with Frew and Joe Oat as substitutes. Lineup of Yankees. Yankee club will probably be Catcher, Lou Criger; first base, Hal Chase; second base, Gardner; shortstop, Foster,Rooch or Knight; third base, Austin or John- son; outfielders, Keeler, Hamphill, En- gle, Cree, Farrell, Madden and Ayres. The Rights Start in the Lead. The duckpin teams of postoffice em- ployes, known as the Rights and Lefts, started a new series at the Rose al- leys on Thursday night. In a three- game match the Rights secured a lead of 22 hoints as their total pinfall was 1137 fo 1115 by the Lefts. To Play Excelsior Five. The Irish Five of local basketball players has a game booked for Wed- nesday evening in Willimantic. They are to play the Excelsiors. BOXING NOTES. Joe Thomas and Harry Mansfleld will meet in a six round contest in Philadelphia Friday night. DeWitt Van Court, who trained Jim Jeftries for seven fights, says Jeft will knock out Johnson in six rounds. Joe Walcott started the other night for New York to meet Jack Johnson in a series of bouts in a West Side the- ater. Dick Hyland of San Francisco and Phil Brock of Cleveland are matched to spar eigit rounds in Memphis Jan--| uary 28. Oscar Martin, brrother of Terry, was matched the other night to box Mike Cunningham in Portland Saturday night. Terry McGovern is said to have Te- covered sufficiently to permit him to leave a sanitarium and live quietly in ‘the country. Henry Mevers, the speedy Charles town bantam, has signed articles for a ten round contest with Knockout Brown of New York m Troy, Monday nig] | Campbell Will Have Hard Time Break- Lo - Can a new playe break into the world’s < ns-outteld? Can any youngster hope to oust Fred Clarke, Tommie Leach or Owen Wil- son? ‘Sounds like a tough proposition, for it is hard to find a better t: of guard- ians of the vuter works than the clever Clarke, the speedy, hard hitting Leach and the remariabie throwing Wilson. Ham Hyatt is a crack: wit th willow, vet he couldn’t in. Anal now comes Chester Campbell, the re- cruit from the Aberdeen club of the Northwestern league, to buck against that stone wall and try for admission to the ranks of the world’s beaters. Campbell is a youngster, and his friends declare that he is bound to develop further, and that, with a ttle major league experience, he will prove a wonder. Of course he may not play a game with the Pirates. Manager Clarke may decide that he cannot use the youngster and turn him over with string attached to some high class minor league club, but he will not likely be allowed to get clear away from the Pirate fold until Clarke has looked him over .carefully. Lee Magee, the Cincinnati lad, who played on the same team with Camp- bell, and who will be tried at second basé by the St. Louls Cardinals, is en- thusiastic in his praise of Campbell. “I believe that Campbell is the fast- est man in the country getting down to first base,” said . “If the ball he hits takes two hops before it gets hlfl.(ha infielder, Campbell will beat it ot STRONG MEN IN FOOTBALL. Navy Captain Holds Annapolis Test Record. George R. Meyer of Minnesota, cap- tain of the Naval academy football team, has broken the general strength record held by Percy W. Northeroft, his predecessor in the leadership of the cleven. His figure under the Kellogg system of measurements is .9475, and Northcroft’s was .9275. W. A. Rich- ardson of Tennessee, also a football player, also tops the former high fig- ure, as he made .9320. Of the eight men who with Meyer and Richardson make up the ten strongest men in the academy, ail but two are members of the football team. This is the third successive year that the captain of the football team has been the strongest man in the scad- emy. Two years ago the record was held by A. H. of Tennessee, and his record still stands, as the sys- tem of measurement has been changed and no comparison can be made with subsequent figures. AN ACCIDENT PLAY. Offi A g00d story tosd by Joe Quinn, the veteran St. Loyjs ball tosser, concerns an instance of original scoring. He says: “I've seen many a funny play come off In my time, but T think St. Paul holds the medal for the scéme of a queer one. One afternoon Mike Grady sent Dan Lally after a terrific fly. Dan chased the leather to the fence, got his ‘hands on the ball and then dropped it as he crashed into the board. Mean- while Grady hustled for second and reached there. Next morning the offi- cial score fafled to credit Grady with his two bagger and Lally escaped the charge of an erfor. * ““What kind of a funny business is this score work? asked Grady as soon as he found the official scorer. ‘Where's that hit 1 made vesterday? ‘Why, really, Mike, answered the O. S. ‘T couldn’t give you a hit on that. 1y got his hands on #t and #t wouldn't be fair, you'know, to the pitcher.” “'But you don't give Lally an error, protested Grady. “‘No’ answered the keeper of the Saints' record. ‘He was going pretty fast, and the fence knocked the ball out ‘of his hands. I couldn’t give him an _error for that. ““Well, if T don't get a hit and Lally doesn’t get an error,” said the puzzled Grady, ‘what do vou call §t?" “ “That is what I call an “accidental play!”’ was the startling, original so- lution of the problem given by the St. Paul man.” IN DEFENSE OF SPIKES. Players Dont Want Abolish: It Is the hour of “purity in sports” A great wave for saner and less stren- uous football confronts the public and the moguls of the game are writhing in the agony of trying to eliminate all | danger. In baseball the spike quection stands in about the same category. Yet the players themselves, almost without exception, demand spikes and in their present form. It is highly interesting their stand in the matter. They are the actual sufferers, and their view- point is noteworthy and valuable, to say the least. “Why make the game slower?’ is| the pertinent query of Dutch Schaefer, the great second baseman of the Wash- ingtons and former captain of the De- troit champions. “Do you want make bascball a game of ping pong asks Joe Tinker, the clever shortstop of the Chicago ' Cubs, Yormer world champions. “Shall we serve tea on the dimond?” asks Hans Wagner,undoubt- edly the greatest batsman of modern times over a stretch of years, and a mainstay in the Pittsburg Pirate ma- chine. . The men who get spiked during a game are the infielders and the catch- ers, for the most part. Yet they are the very persons who are_clamoring for the ‘retention of the spikes. They claim that an injury from spiking is due to carelessness on the part of the man hurt. It is their ccntention that a base runner never intentionally spikes a rival. “How many bases do you think Scorer Sprung a New On: Baseball Them would be stolen if we wore tennis B B Do you Imagine that heavy stockings padded to- the limit would tend to increase our speed? Are rubber spikes the thing to cling to a slippery field?” ‘The veteran of many hard fought ficids and a base runnner of enviable reputation laugh- ed heartily. “Why, say,” he contin- ued, “we wouldn't have a el on earth_toMit up a fast pace In & game under those conditions.”- Joo Tinker, who is an actor in the winter time and who has deserted the “legit” for the vaudeville lines, is a logical thinker. On all matters’ base- ball he is almost as keen as his side partner, Johnny Evers. “Say,” he ex- claimed, ‘while discussing the' propos tion in ‘Murphy's office the other day, “have you considered the mpatter care: fully? It you have, how can you con- sistently take spikes away from us and yet allow the college track men (o re- tain them In a more dangerous form “Take a pole vaulter, for instanc He leaps high in the air and in de scending cannot completely control his fall. He often spikes himself, and hi epikes are like needles. Then ther are the surinters. During the exciting part of the quarter mile run they often spike each other while attempting to gain the pole. But you don't hear of any reform on the part of the pro- fessors. Are ballplayers to be made to sufrer? In the recent world's series at De- troit several Tigers were severely hurt by Pirate runners in one game. Tom Jones was especially banked up. Yet the papers said the next day that ev- ery injury was due to the efiorts made by the players in checking Pirate run- ners. They sacrificed themselves for the good of their team by attempting to block their men. As the runners have the freedom of the line the in- flelders must look out for themselves, the plavers cogtend. “If an infielfer piays his position as it should be played there would be no injuries to speak of,” said Tinker, “Just remember that the runnmer has the right of way and play accordingly. 1 take particular pains to study every player and to note the way he goes down aline. Fvery man has an indi- vidual method which is seldom depart- ed from. With this in mind there should be no hurts. If there are it's because the man with the ball either took a chance or because he doesn't study his opponents.” In the meantime the magnates have apparently shelved the question. The: Tealize that speed would be sacrifice if any innovation were made. Fans like action and the magnates know it. SPORTS OF ALL SORTS. Huhg MecIntosh has offered Freddy Welsh $5,000 and two round trip fares to box Johnny Summers in Australia. It has been definitely settled that the fight between Willle and Harry Lewis will be held in Paris, February 5. Al Kublak, Eddie Curtis and George Gunther, who are now in England, are going to Russia to give boxing exhi- bitions. Although Tom Sharkey gives Jef- fries a great boost and advises others to hock the family heirlooms and get a bet down, he evidently doesn't intend to wager anything himself. Jim Hall, the ex-Australian middle- weight, who defeated Bob Fitzsimmons in the land of the kangaroo, has been arrested in Kansas City on the charge of selling tickets for a fake ball. They are giving gold belts to light- weight champions in England. Until some of our good American boys re- turn with one of the sald gold girdles it will be impossible to even guess its equivalent in coffee and sinkers. Willis is Leever's only rival for the distinction of being the oldest pitcher in the National league in point_of continuous service. He has pitched four years for Pitisburg, after ha been secured from Boston at the ¢ of the 1905 season. According to Willie Lewis, who is In Paris, Sam Langford turned down an offer ‘of $3,500 for his end to box Joe Jeanette in Paris. Lewis further claims that Langford could have got $3,500 in each of three bouts that the Parisian promoter wanted to put on. ncinnati will abandon the scout system of securing new players, Louis Heilbronner and Tom MecCarthy have been notified by Owner Herrmann that their services will no longer be re- quired. Manager GriMith will rely on hearsay as to where the real talent lies. GEERS HAS BIG STRING. Trainer Shafer's Predictions for the 1910 Campaign. Whether during _the raglng or In winter quarters, the racing and tral ing string of the veteran horseman, E. F. Geers, always attracts morc attention than that of any other train- €r In the country.
