Norwich, February 1, 1910. CHARLES W. GALE, GARDINER HALL, JR., AMOS A. BROWNING, Committee. The Norwich Nickel & Brass (o, Tableware, Chandeliers, Yacht Trimmings RT New York, Feb, 4.—After being in session from ten o'clock this morn- ing until about midnight the intercol- lesiate football rules committee ad- ed until tomorrow without mak- ng any definite recommendations as 0 modifying the game. But it was the general opinion of the committee that the game as played at present does tend to expose the players to too great likelihood of infury and this led to a aiscussion of the foliowing ques- tions: “What are the sources of dan- ger to the player in the present game of football 2’ This subject was thrashed out dur- ing the day and night session with a view to laying the groundwork for changes to be voted on before final adjournment. All agreed that if foot- ball is to be preserved some of the present elements of danger must be eliminated. Parke H. Davis, the Princeton repre- sentative. said that the impression in the minds of some persons that Eng- lish rugby is a more gentle game than the game now in vogue in the United States, is an erroneous one. To back up his_assertion, he said that in the game last fall between Oxford and Cambridge, the captain of the Oxford team was knocked out before twelve minutes of play and remained uncon- scious throughout the game, one Ox- ford forward had his leg broken, an- other Oxford man suffered a broken collarbone, and the leader of the Ox- ford forwards sustained a broken car- tilage. On the Cambridge team one player's leg was broken and two col- iarbones were broken. Don't let any- one tell you that Rugby is a gentle game,” said Davis. *I know, for I played it for ten years.” ~ It is likely, therefore, that the ad- vocates of English Rugby will be sore- ly disappointed, lbecause indications are that the substitution of that game will not even pe discussed. CLABBY EVEN WITH MIKE (TWIN) SULLIVAN Jimmy Had Two Good Rounds—Sulli- van Outweighed Milwaukee Welter by Ten Pounds. Milwaukee, Feb. 4—Mike Twin Sul- livan and Jimmy Clabby of Milwaukeo, weiterweights, fought a ten-round no decision bout before the National A. C. of Milwaukee tonight. Both men finished strong and the newspaper men decided the contest a draw. Sullivan went into the fight fully ten pounds heavier than Clabby. The fight was chbaracterized by much clinching and hanging on by both men. “The first round was tame, but la the second there were several rapid exchanges to head and body. Clabby in the third got in a stiff left to the body. Sullivan returned rights and lefts’ to the head. 'The fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh rounds were a serics of even exchanges. Clabby had a decided advantage in the eighth round, when he landed rights and lefts, but Sullivan evened up matters in the ninth.

Jockeys in Fight. -Oakland, Cal., Feb. 4—Following the running of the Martinez handicap at Emeryville today, Jockeys E. Martin and Eddie Taplin engaged in a fight in the paddock. Martin won the event on_Binocular by a narrow margin from Raleigh P. D, ridden by Taplin. In the stretch Taplin hit Martin with his whip. Tap- lin claimed foul, as Martin had him in close quarters. The boys argued the matter on the way to the jockeys' room and when the paddock was reached Martin _stepped behind Taplin and struck him. Taplin then hit his as- sallant and dislocated two of his own fingers. The stewards suspended Mar- tin for ten Tacing days with the ex- ception of the Schrieber stable mounts and fined Taplin $50. Taplin was un— able to ride out his engagements. Both men McGrath Signs for Two Matches. Jack McGrath has signed for two wrestling bouts next week.

FINANCIAL AND NET GAINS FOR MOST STOCKS. Absence of Heavy Liquidation Left Way Open to Some Recovery. New York, Feb. 4—Speculative sen- timent remained much unsettled today as an after-effect of the violent de- clines which were effected in yester- day's market. There was no resump- tion of the heavy liquidation which ‘broke the market yesterday, and this left the way open to some recovery. The bear interest left uncovered after such a spasm as has occurred this week insures a potential demand for stocks sufficient to carry prices away from the low level. There began to arise in the minds of the bear operators today @ question of the identity of the buyers of the stocks that have been so eagerly selling and offering down to the lowest quotations they were able to force. The suspicion that some of erful capitalist Who had apparently " abandoned the market to its own resources, were buy- ing stocks again edded to the uneasi- ness of the uncovered shorts. They were impressed, also, with the asser- tions of commission house managers of the presence of bargain hunters and odd-lot buyers of stocks in the mar- ket. The rapidity and the extent of the decline which has occurred points to a culmination of an ordinary market cy- cle. Foreigners expressed this view of the situation before business wes re- sumed on the New York etock ex- change by advancing the prices of Americans in that market. It was not surprising, therefore, that & tush of bears to cover shorts should have made opening prices well above last night's closing level, which in itself represented a considerable rally from Have Your Walches and Clocks Pat in First-class Condition by FRISWELL, The Jeweler, 25-27 Franklin Street.

The violence of these movements proved disconcerting te all but the most highly speoulative element in the market, and the recovery eliminated some of the substantial buying which was perceived at the lower prices. The bears rallied their forces when any signs of that sort appeared and made fresh attacks. Those attacks were most effective in the copper group and especially American Smelting. The position of the proposed merger as well as the recent statement of annual carnings of the company were assigned as reasons for its vulnerability. The Hawley group of stocks, notably Ches— apeake and Ohio, was also picked for attack. It was these recurrent raids on prices that kept speculative senti- ment unsettled and made the buying timid and hesitating. Resistance o pressure on declines, in turn, gave fresh asurance to buyers. The tone of spcculative sentiment was kept shift- ing in that way throughout the day. The preliminary estimates of the week’'s currency movement pointed to another notable addition to the sur- plus reserve of the banks. The Hkeli- Iood of a loan contraction to be shown in consequenice of the heavy stock market liquidation added tp this prob- ability. This had 4ts influence in checking the liquidation by the pros- pect that the banks would be experi- COMMERCIAL. 100 800 2300 500 Do. O’'ROURKE RETIRES. Grand Old. Man of Baseball Back Among the Fans—Played for Forty- Three Years. The sale of the Bridgeport baseball club franchise by James H. O'Rourke to H. Eugene McCann of Jersey City and the announcement that O'Rourke, the grand old man of baseball, is to retire from the game, is of more than passing interest. ~Mr. O'Rourke, who was owner and ma of the Bridge- port club of the Connecticut league, has been connected with the national game for forty-three years, in both the major minor leagues. He is now secretary and treasurer of the Connec- ticut league, which he organized. Even in the latter years, although he is long past the limit popularly set for active participation in professional sports, he always donned his uniform for a few days to show the boys how the game should really be played. Mr. O'Rourke is one of the few men now living who helped to bring the game into its present great popularity. He is the father of the Connecticut league, and that organization owes its prosperity of the present, in a large measure, to the business acumen, ex- ecutive ability and foresight of Mr. O'Rourke, who has been connected with it in some official capacity from the first. He has been made the victim of almost innumerable vicious attacks by certain newspaper writers, but through it all has comported himself with dig nity and like a gentieman. The old time fans and his many admirers wi be sorry to lose him. Mr. O'Rourke was born in Bridge- port Aug. 24, 1854. His first experi- ence in baseball was with the Unions of that city in 1867. In 1871 he plaged with the Orioles of Hartford, and in 1872 was a member of the famous Mansfields of Middietown, of which the awell known writer, Tim Murname, and the famous catcher of his day, John Clapp, were members. O'Rourke play- ed with the Bostons from 1872 to 1878 and made the memorable tour to Eu- | rope with the Bostons in 1! In 1879 he went to Providence with Geo ‘Wright and helped to land the pennant. ‘The next season saw him back in Bos- ton again. In_ 1881-1884 he played with Buffalo, and from 1885 to 1889 he played with the New Yorks, who won the pennant in 1888 and 1889. He was identified with _the Players’ league team of New York in 1890, but was ‘back again with the New York Glants in 1891 and 1892, and in 1893 ended his career with a major league team in ‘Washington. He ‘tried his hand at umpiring in 1894, but did not find that occupation congenial and he finished the season with the St. Joseph's of Bridgeport. In 1885 he managed tl Victors of Bridgeport and in 1896 o ganized the Naugatuck Valley league nd was manager and captain of the Bridgeport club. In 1807 he assisted to organize the Connecticut league and was the first president, also secretary and treasurer. He has been secretary of ever since its organization. In 1903 his only son, James H. O'Rourke, Jr. plaved on his father's team and con- tinued there until the fall of 1908,when he played with the New York Ameri- cans, and is now with the Columbus American association club. In nine seasons the elder O'Rourke missed very few games in which the Bridgeport club took part. It is estimated that he played in about 2,000 ational anid Players’ league games, and in r 1,000 Connecticut league contests. Mr. O'Rourke was not only a baseball mag- nate and manager, but is a member of the national board of arbitration. He is also a practicing atiorney. The es- teem in which he is held in Bridgeport is shown Dy the fact that he has served on the board of public works and on the board of fire commissioners. He is a_prominent member of the Elks, the Royal Arcanum and the Knights of Columbus. BASEBALL BRIEFS, Griffith’s pitchers will report to the foxv manager March 8.

According to Bannon, Pitcher F whom Steve Flanagan wants for Brockton team, may be sold to some team in the Connecticut league, where he played after his trouble with Easton last year. Some of the other men signed may also be traded.—Exchansge.

In addition to Fhilbin there are six other Y ‘men who will in try for the team. With this list of véterans, Yale's chances look god as ehe old ‘men include Badger, Monser, Logan, Corey, Daly and Fred Murphy. all fast men. Badger seeps destined for second base, aithough’ McIntyre, who pushed him hard for the position last will again be a formid- able rival. Hyde and Ely of last years fresh- man nine are aiso looked upon as like- 1y candidates for second sack. Dummy Logan, the crack football player, will be hard pressed to keep third ‘base away from Dick Merritt, the captain of "last vears freshman nine. The battle between Logan and Merritt for the position should be a great one, and Logan's experience will undoubtedly stand him in good stead. Logan broke up several games last Year by oportune drives and the hit- ting ability of the men in the early tryouts wiil g0 a long ways toward de- clding the contest. A mew man will have to be broken in at short, as Fels, the infield star, was gradnated after’ last vears victory. McKee of last years second team will undoubtedly be out for the position | and Lontrell of the freshman team of 1909 is also regarded as good timber. Murfree, who guarded the initial sack for the freshmen last year, will also be in the game. . Murtree was a good sticker and played the bag is a clever manner. - The outfiell seems to be unusually stronz_on players with a quintet of men like Murphy, Stevens, Monser, Daly and Pop Corey. Murphy is with- out doubt the best outfielder in college cirsles tcday. In addition to fielding his position’ cleanly, he is a big swat artist, and his batting average runs high.” Pop Corey is the best pinch hit- ter on the team and can be played in the infield in a pinch. Monser is another veteran and was becoming a fast iman toward the close of last year’s season. Fred Daly, the football cap- tain, is the last of the quarteite of vet- erans and if he displays his last year's form should be @ fixture on the team. The pitching staff will give consid- erable worry this vear as Van Vleck, Rose, Parsons and Merritt, the s boxmen of last vear, have graduated The string of new men include Bernie, Tommers, Hartwell. Brinsmad Schm!dt and Corr. Of these Tommers, Corr and Hartwell look the best. This | trio played fast ball two years ago in freshman circles, and with the addi- tioral cxperience should make good. Last year the slab men had the val- uable coaching of Ed Walsh of the White Sox, and the big fellow had his men in great shape. This vear Walsh will no doubt leave early for the train- Ing trip with the White Sox, and some other man will have to be secured. PINCH HITTERS MADE GOOD. American League Pulled 551 Off the Bench—Connie Meck's Emergency Men Were Be: Bench_warmers were used as pinch hitters 551 times last season in the American league. A total of 493 “at bat” were credited and 93 hits result- €d. This means an average of .197. When one considers the great disad- vantage a batter is placed in when coming into the game cold, this is not at all @ bad average. But if the using of extra batters or not is of any signal advantage is another quostion, Does it help to win pennants? The experi- | ence of the three time pemnant win ning Tigers would not Prove that it does. Manager Jennings used during the season only 45 emergency men and stands at the bottom of the list with an average of .132. Out of the 45 men used 38 were credited with time at bat | and hit safely only five times. But when one considers the strong batting line up of the Tigers from top to bottom this deficlency in bench bat- ters is partially explained. Strange to say, the Athletics, who acted as run- ner up for the Tigers, used only one more man than did Jennings and lead the list. Mack used 46 men, who were credited with at bat 42 times and hit safely 11 times for an average of .262. Pifty-two passes were issued, New York belng the chief beneficlary, re- ceiving 13; Boston was a close second with 10. That men coming into the game in an emergency are not called upon to sacrifice very often is proved by the fact that only nine did the “laying down stunt” Washington leading in this respect, with three. proved to have better run getters among the bench warmers than any of the other seven teams, seven of whom circled the bases out of a total of 28. Out of a total of five doubles and six triples the Highlanders had one double and three triples. Dode Criss of St. Louls ¥epeated his wonderful work of last season in this | respect and is practically the leader. He was called upon 27 times, getting six hits and two passes for an average of .286. Charley Hemphill of New York also performed very creditably. having 20 opportunities to show, get- ting six hits and four free trips for an sverage of .240.. Claude Risman, whom Manazer Jennings carried for awhile after be had proven a failure at the initial corner, for the sole purpose of batting in emergencies, was the great- est frost of all, having been given sev- en opportunities and a base on balls being the best he could get. The Phillies’ first base position was mssured when Kitty Bransfield sent in his signed contract for the coming season.
