Those present were May- or Daniel P. Dunn, representing Wil- limantie; Charles Humphrey, repre- senting New Londoi representing Norwich; John J. ley, the redoubtable hiiter of the famed Hebron Blue in the interest of sport in general and incidentally to be on the inside so that he may be in on the ground floor with the rest of the magnates and stockholders; Robert O. Snow, representing the Norwich Bulle~ tin; and Thomas F. Connelly the Wil- lmantic Chronicle, All present were enthusiastic over the outlook and the prospects for the successful launching of the league are already assured. The magnates talked over the propesition and got togethes in good shape. All favored Mayor Dunn’s idea of the Trolley league, and the four-game-a-week schedule, play- ing Saturday games in Norwich and ‘Willimantic and splitting up the mid- Teek games to the best advantage of al Applications were on hand from en- thusiasts in Rockville, South Manches- ter and Webster for admission to the league, but as Westerly, the other town that has signified a desire to con: into the field, could not be represented’) at Thursday’s meeting, it was deemed advisable to postpone action on any of the applications until Westerly could give her final decision in the matter. Westerly was conceded by all present to be the best town for the fourth member of the league and as a drawing card it cannot be beaten. It has never had professional ball with a league team, such$as proposed, and the owner of the Westerly franchiss is sure to be the man that will gather in the coin. The expense of handling a team in Westerly is praciically small as far as transportation, etc., is con- cerned, and those expenses will be about equalized in all the towns that are to comprise the circuit. The mode of iravel, the trolley, to and from all four towns is exception- ally good, and the teams can make their home towns every night at n> inconvenience. The league has started right, as it has already secured protection under Class C of the National Association of Professional Baseball, from Secretary J. H. Farrell of Albany, N. Y. This fact alone should be a sufficient guar- antee to the public and players thac the promoters are to do things right. Mr. Humphrey briefly cutlined his plans, as did also Mr. Hayes and Mayor Dunn. In all probability each team will carry from ten to twelve players on the rolls and a moderate salary limit will be strictly adhered to. The new I Connecticut e Looks Like Gert Be in Class C Under National Asscciation—Webster, Rockville and South Manchester Want to Join— _will be known as th= olley league next meeting of the promoters will be held at the Del-Hoff in Norwich next Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock when officers will be elected and permanent organization effected. In all probability the season will last something like sixteen wecks, opening about the second week in May and closing about the middle of Septem- ber. All were enthusiastic over tha proposition and this section of tne state bids fair to see more real good baseball than it has seen in many a moon. (Special to The Bulletin.) MBRIDE SIGNING STARS. First—Southpaw Twirl for Wauregan Wauregan, Feb. 3.—BEdward McBride, manager of the ‘Wauregan baseball club, sprang e great surprise on Wau- regan rooters when he signed Joe Gad- bois to play first base the coming sea- son. In Gadbois Eddie has landed the best first baseman that ever donned a uniform in the E. C. L. Joe played first base here in 1908—26 games with- out an error, and batted .298. At a meeting last year of the directors of the E. C. L. when the question came up who was the most dangerous hitter to come up in a pinch in this league, all the managers picked Gadbois. In the writer's opinion Wauregan never had a more popular or better first baseman don a uniform. ‘Wauregan has also signed Jim Bar- ry, the great southpaw, who pitched for Wauregan in 1908, who still holds the records of strikeouts, no hit games and shutouts in this league. If Barry shows the form this year he did last he will be a tower of strength to Wau- regan, not only for his great pitching, but also as a great drawing card. Neareaux, the little man you have to cut grass to find In center Meddius field, will be in his ol& position. He is probably one of the best outfielders ‘Wauregan ever had and is a good pinch hitter.

Inroads in Prices of From One to Eight Points. New York, Feb. 3—Aggregate deal- ings for the day of 1,672,000 shares and inroads on prices of one to eight points for practically all the active stocks of- fer evidence of a liquidation in the stock market sufficiently drastic_and general to call for some other explana- tion than temporary vagaries of spec- ulative sentiment or merely technical conditions in the stock market itself. The speculative sentiment itself was plunged in gloom and was inclined to give rein to sensational forebodings of the consequence to ensue from the conditions which it saw reflected in the action of the day’s market. Such a state of the speculative mind consid- ered in connection with other points in the situation is calculated to sug- gest a culmination of a movement rathere tham its inception. The extent to which the previous decline had al- ready run, its duration and the techni- cal results involved are some of the points which _entitle expectation to view the day’s events as promising a Teversal to follow. That all Is not as well with the body economic or with finance and industry as was assumed when prices of stocks were 10 to 40 points higher than were touched on the declines today is borne in upon the mind with conviction. That all is as threatening of coming evil as was assumed in the speculative gloom that penetrated the stock market at- mosphere today need not be taken for granted. The opinion that overlay practically all others and tinged the whole was that commercial recession and indus- trial reaction were to be read in the action of the securities market. This opinion is not of overnight growth and has been gathering adherents for sev- eral weeks past. It began with evi- dence of lull in the freight movement over the railroads, with some renewed accumulation of surplus freight cars, and gained force with reports of the falling off in orders for iron and de- cline in the prire of that basic com- modity. The e itremely high price to which commod ties in general had at- tained, the wi/ espread dicussion of the high cost of living and the agitation against high prices with resultant de- crease of consumptive demand have given force to the topic. In the mood of the stock market to- day, sharp attention was given to the expression of academic and profession- al views that would ordinarily escape the attention of operators in stocks. The _economic tendency of expanded Bqd_production and price fnflation to bring on financial crises was the point that attracted attention. Another fac- tor was the authority given to views publicly stated by qualified legal testi- mony supposted to represent the views of large organizations of capital of the harm to follow from the proposed en- forecment of the Sherman anti-trust law. The word “panic” found frequent repetition in these various pictures of the future and the effect was decided- ly disturbing to the nerves of the stock et element. There was the fear that with the arrest to the upward course of prices of commodities there wonld necessarily follow @ process of deflation which would arrest the course of prosperous activities all through the channels of commerce. This_week’s failure of an important firm of dealers in bonds was the text also for unfavorable views. That evi- dence of the clogged—condition of the bond market and of the length.of time in which old tssues had clung to the bands of underwriters unloosed a va- rity of cenclusions. . The market had an effective raily of one fo three points in the final hour and the closing tone was well sustained at the recovery, but the inviting profits on the day’s e of- fered to the bears obviocusly supplied much of the inducement for this buy- ing. /. i ‘Bonds were weak, but with no sign ot the demoralized fone of "%fi’iu‘ The sales, par ue, to ,823,000.

Down in Philadelphia they have late~ 1y’ got wise to Dan Murphy’s entrance into the wrestling, game. This is the impression it makes ofi the Philadel- phia Press: Danjel Webster Murphy, champion wrestler of Connecticut. 'Tis true, neighbors, and the Daniel Webster re- ferred to is no other than our old pal, “Danny,” who earng his livelihood in the spring and summer by scampering after long flies and hammering out home runs for Conule Mack's Athlet- cs. Fow Danny annexed the title is a short story. Up Norwich, Conn., way, where the “King of Irish Sluggers” en- tertains the natives with debates on “The Bat is Mightier than the Beef Trust” during the winter months, there appeared one day a husky giant, who annbunced that he was the “champion wrestler.” Ver'ly, he flung it into the teeth of Dani | Webster. Now Danny was not posing as a wresteler, but he had on various occa- sions been able to pin the shoulders of John Shibe, check books and all, tq the green sward at Shibe park. And he, as the athletic hero of Norwich, must fell this “champeen” or stand before his townsfolf” a disgraced mafi. So the challenge was hurled by Danlel and with a Goliath shrng of his shoulders accepted by the “champ. “Oprey House” Packed. The “oprey hquse” was packed on the night of the contest, and while Norwich was heart and soul with Danny, when they saw the giant “champeen” strip- ped for action they feared the worst. | It was a bout worth traveling miles to see, Danuy confided to Connie Mack | Mt e e GRES Sam G Shoulders, 28'| Sausage, Poultry.

Former captains of Yale footbal! elevens have peen asked by the Yale News to give their opinions on the present football rules and what changes were necessary to make the game safer, without sacrificing the-essential features of American football. All the Yale captains since the sport was or- ganized in 1872 were written to, Other particulars on which they were asked to render a decision were the forward pass, neutral zone and.the advisability of opening up the game. From the majority of these former players answers have been recelved, From being out of the game %o long. there were a number who did not feei competent to write letters for publ cation, but in no case was there one who thought that the unfortunate cidents which marred last season’s rec ord were sufficient to warrant th games’ abolishment or the substitution of another game as a field for inter- collegiate competition. There are a large number of former captains, however, who seem to think that the opening up of the game which has characterized the rule making in previous years has been carried too far and who favor a _return to the style of a decade ago. F. Gordon Brown, J 1901, who captained the 1900 eleven, has sent a letter which also embodies the stand which these other men have taken. It reads as follo My suggestions med up in one sentence, are to go back to the game as it was played in the early '90’s, with a_few changes. The changes I would advocate are in detall the followin 1—Abolish the neutral zone and for- ward pass forward of the line of scrimmage. 2—Require the attacking side to have at least seven men on the line of scrimmage before putting the ball in play, the man who puts the ball in play to be the center of these seven, three men to be at least three and n half yards back of the line and the eleventh man to be anywhere between these two former groups In other wopd the old fashioned regular formatioi to_be the only ones allowed. 3—Allow a forward pass anywhere handed him on the first and 15th of Hoppe ran out his 500 in 19 innings | cach month. for an average of 26 6-19, while Morn- ingstar’s 495 was made In 18 innings with an average of 27 9-18. At the start, Hoppe got the bal's rathered by a beautiful twice~arouna the table drive, and proceeded to col- lect 45 points before missing a cushion caron. The balls were left in good position for Morningstar, who was in rare form Masses and force followa faultless'y executed enabled him to get the balls under control and he created a stir by making a run_ of 113 before fallinz down on a cushion shot. Hoppe showed fine form in his tentl inning by digging out 111 points from all portions of the table. He executea some fine open shots and position drives along with a marvelous two-rail masse played perfectly and a fine. re- verse Engiish followed. This cut down Morningstar’s lead and from this point VICKERS THE PRIZE JUMPER. Former Holyoke Pitcher on His Sixth Trip Back to the Minors. Rube Vickers, the twirler who once was the big noise with Holyoke in the Connecticut league claims a record which no other pitcher can boast of, and one which may never be equalled. He has- recently been sold to Balti- more by the Philadelphia Athletics. Vickers says this ‘will be his sixth trip back to the minor leagues, ‘and on each of the other flve occasions the minor league club to which he return-- ed won the championship in its league through Rube’s good pitching. The big league clubs who tried Vick- ers and sent him back to the rhinors were the St. Louis Browns, Chicago back of the line of scrimmage to any man., 4 Reduce the distance to be gained even yards. —The onside kick changed. 6—A man catching a kick to be free from being tackled until he has taken two steps in any direction. If he hesi- tates over five seconds, the ball to be down. 7—No one to be allowed to push or pull one of his own side with the ball until he has advanced over the line of scrimmage.
