New York, Feb. 8—In the parlance of the track, “they're off,” for tonight, after many postponements, the Jockey club gave out these dates of running race meetings for the season. The schedule is one that will appeal strongly to the followers of the horses. Opening April 15 and closing November 15, every track has dates assigned, and the season, promises to be the best mince the anti-betting crusade began in #this state, two years ago. Aqueduct, as in _the old days, opens and closes the season. Brighton Beach returns to the fold with 14 days in July but with no fall dates. Empire City starts earlier this year than usual, commencing July 21 and ending Aug- ust 3; and therefore there will be no clash between the Yonkers course and Saratoga. The Spa has practically all the month of August. Cornell Made $11,515 on Football. Ithaca, N. Y., Feb. 8.—W. J.

RECOVERY AND LATER BREAK Shows That Suspicion 8till Lingers in the Speculative Mi: New York, Feb. 8.—The stock mar- ket showed some relief today from the stress of urgent liquidation, which was so conspicuous yesterday. The hesitating tone on the recovery and the renewed break at the Jast were el- oquent of the suspicion still harbored in the epeculative mind after the many false inferences recently drawn that liquidation had been completed and the way prepared for an upturn. There was a wave of selling orders for execution when the market opened, which seemed to be the aftermath of yesterday’s _precipitate, decline in prices. The decline had served to exhaust or diminish additional margins and where the calls sent out over night for replenishment of resources were not responded to, the selling out of collateral was the consequence. The news of the market was of the same nature as yesterday; that is, puazzled conjuecture as to the sources and the motives of the selling. Tha course of this conjecture tended to eliminate suppositions of inside liquidation such as would be prompted by fears for the industrial outlook or decline in profits of enterprises. The assumption that professional bear operations on the short side were responsible for the severe declines did not get many ad- herents. The languid demand today when the liquidation seemed to be checked and prices tended towards recovery was corroborative of the dis- belief in any large responsibility of bear operations for the later stages of the decline. The professional element in the speculation, in fact, saw the re- newed evidence of forced Hquidation yesterday with surprise and were tim- id in extending their commitments on the short stide of the market. There was lack of recuperative power in the market for this reason, when prices ceased to go down.

The opinion gained ground that the market's weak- ness was due to belated liquidation of large individual acecounts dating back to the period of price inflation last year and which had injudiciously over- stayed the market. Stock market sentiment regarding the federal incorporatfem Wil intro- duced into congress yesterday was improved today. This was partly caused by expressions of approval of the measure on the part of corporation interests, especially by United States Steel officials. The feeling thus ex- pressed and the questionable chances of the pill's enactment at the present session reported from Washington made it doubtful whether the action of the stock market was traceable to the influence. The copper trade reported some concessions in prices ¥or that metal, but the January statistics of the Cop- per Producers’ association are expect- ed to show another material decrease in stocks. The copper industrials to- day were exceptionally heavy. The nervousness of the speculation manifested itself in the final break in prices which put Union Pacific, United States Steel and Amalgamated Copper 1o the lowest prices of the session and of the movement.

Tie Mohican Clerks madé a clean- up of Captain Risley’s duckpin team at the Rose alleys on Tuesday evening, beating them three straight games. Neibert rolled on the defeated team in Dlace of its captain. - The Clerks hit up in the opening game, in which they had a margin of 34 pins, finished the second game 11 In the lead, and took the last by only three pins. Sylvia's string of 264 was the high total for the match, but Burdick of the losers captured the Trigh single with just an even 100,which he slrpped over in his last time at bat. Johnson, a new recruit for the Mohi- cans, did great service for them, rolling three strings over 80 and finishing sec- their best pace ond on the individual totals. The fol- lowing are the scores: Mohican Clerks. Bendett . 81 81 71— 233 Gurney . 5 81— 238 | McNickle 77 72— 228 Sylvia . 97 80— 264 Johnson . . 89 88 84— 261 428 418 378—1224 Risley’s Team.

Word has been received at the Rose alleys from Fred Teller of Waterbury that he will be here next Monday to roll the match with Allie Murphy. OUTFIELDERS HAVE NOTHING ON INFIELDERS WITH BAT. Score is About Even in the Two Major Leagues. Outflelders as a rule are looked upon as the strongest hitters, whereas little is expected in the batting line of the pitchers. The reason for this is obvi- ous, inasmuch.as the pitcher is picked out’ particulariy for his ability to fool opposing batsmen, while outflelders are selected because Of an inherent ability to solve the most puzzling delivery. It is true that an outfielder must have some skill In handling fly or ground balls, but this is secondary, to a large degree, to their ability as siuggers. In comparing the outfielders with the inflelders, however, there is little to choose in batting ' strength, although there is & marked difference in this Tespect in the history of the two major leagues. Napoleon Lajoie is the only infielder who ever led the American league in batting during the ten years of its existence, but he was at the top four times—in 1801, 1903, 1904 and 190; Otherwise outfieldérs have shown the way—Sam Dugan in 1900, George Stone in 1906 and Ty Cobb ever since. Out- side of Lajole, only seven inflelders have found a place among the leading thirty hitters in the life of the league, among whom are Eddie Collins, thc brilliant second baseman of the Ath— letics, Harry Davis, Jim Delehanty, Nig Clarke and Al Orth. In the National league, however, there is a_different story fo tell. It has been figured out that in thirty- eight years an inflelder has headed the list twenty-one times, to only sixteen for outflelders. Hans Wagner has been at the top seven times, and is the only shortstop to earn the distinction. Ten first basemen, four second basemen and one third baseman have shown the way. Mike Kelly, away back in 1856, was the only catcher who ever led tiie National league dn batting, but he played in the outfield part of the time because of his ability with the stick. One pitcher also found his way to the top in John P. Luby of Chicago, in 1890, when he played in thirty games for a percentage of .342. Roaring Bl Kennedy of Pittsburg led the league a few years ago, but he pitched in 5o few games that he never got full credit. CLABBY-SULLIVAN. Jimmy Looked Like a Champion to His Friends—Fast Boxing, but Not Many Heavy Wallops. Sclence and not heavy punching power was the conspicuous feature of the Jimmy Clabby-Mike (Twin) Sull- van fight in Milwaukee last ~Friday night, according to the Chicago Dally News. After the bout it was the opinion of the critics that Olabby had earned a draw with the Bostoa man, who is the accredited welterweight champion. Sullivan has all the tricks of a fin- ished boxer, but he was unable to puz- zle the game Milwaukee lad, who showed much improvement in his work. The Boston man used a left jab fre- quently, but as it carried no steam Clabby took it all. Sullivan at the start planned to outbox his younger oppo- nent, but the Cream City lad went after him, knowing that if he relied on his cleverness his chances of winning were slim. He assumed the aggressive at every opportunity and thereby offset the science of his older adversary. ‘The showing made by Clabby picased his friends. To them he looked like a champion as he warded off the jabs, Swings and hooks of Sullivan. - FHis judgment of distance was good and he displayed fast footwork by stepping back and in on jabs and swings. landed often with a left hook to tie head and forced Sullivan to clinch from many well directed blows. Whilc | Sullivan was shaken several times by his opponent's swings, he always &p- peared at ease and put up a defensive battle that was interesting throughout. Clabby tried to respond in kind. “ut Sullivan’s ring generalship proved su- perior. He stood up to the Milwaukee fighter and easily warded off his blows. While boxing the first seven rounds Clabby tried many little-tricks on Sul- livan, but the latter was too old a head to be fooled. Onme of Clabby’s tricks was to cover up when Sullivan began jabbing, and as soon as the latter step- ped in he would step back and hit straight from the shoulder. Several times he caught Sullivan asleep and shook him a little. Most of the time Sullivan escaped Clabby’s efforts by 200d footwork and blocking. The Mil— waukee lad tried to get close to land oftener and also work his loop-the-loop blow, but Sullivan-had a way of getting close to his man and stopping it. Responding to the demands of the spectators, the referee warned the principals'at the end of the sixth that there must be .more fighting or he would call it no contest. Sullivan easily stopped many of his antagonist’s shortarm jolts to the body. Clabby let go his first volley in the fourth round, which landed, but Sulli- van only smiled as he fell into a clinch. Clabby beat Sullivan to many of his leads in the fifth, sixth and seventh rounds. Using a left jab, quickly fol- lowed With a right cross, he made Sul- livan wince. He varied this attack, sending it to the head and body alter- nately. ¢ The men started the eighth round at Open. High Low.

His opponent covered up con- siderably, but by feinting he managed to slip in a jab and cross counter. Clabby spurted toward the end, but was unable to do any damage, as Sul— livan danced out of the corners with ease. He then fell into a clinch and the bell rang. : ONE,GOOD PUNCH Likely to Settle Big Fight—Jeff Carries It in His Left—Johnson's is a Right Uppercut. Tad, the well known New Yook fight experf, figures that one of t#> goud punches will put the finishing tournes to the big heavyweight contest that 1s 10 be waged between Jeffries and John- son next summer. Jim Jeffries is well known fo. remarkably good use he mak:3 left. 'This punch is @ great s tremendous walloper, and is a dangci- ous one.

I hard blow to learn, but uaze 2cq it is a very valuable asset. Johnson has practiced this blow un- il he has it down almost to parfe He never shoots it from a distance, but always makes use of it he1 his oppn- nent is almost on top of him, betore the punch lands, making the force of the blow almost double, the force the man running in:> it and the wp- ward force of ihe dlow put into it ry Johnson hin:se'f. BASEBALL BRIEFS. Fred Olmstead and Infielder Shaw, recruited from minor league clubs, have signed contracts to play with, the Chicago White Sox. - The Boston Americans may take a triv to the Pacific coast In the spring of 1911, provided the Chicago Ameri- cans abandon their training in that section. 7 Eddie Plank, brother ‘of Ira Plank, the Connecticut league’s human dyna- mo. has placed his signature to a Philadelphia American league contract for the coming season. The latest Yankee to sien his name to a New York American league con- tract is Jack Warhop, the pitcher. He is wintering at Freeport, Ill.. and sends word that he Is in fine shape for the spring season at Athens, Ga.. next the month. Warhop is one of the most promising - piichers among the Yan- ees. Manager Heckert of the Trenton Tri- State league team still insists that Bert Grubb, the former Holyoke pi er. wil' guaid the Trenton third sack ts season Roaring Bill Clacke cf ha lbanv ball club, who recently pur- chased Grubb from the Wilkes-Barre club, says there is nothing to the deal. Heckert offers a price, but Clarke can not see it. Tris Speaker, the star outfielder and batsman of the Boston Ameri- cans, made a_ high-price-for-meat dash into the Fort Worth livestock “market Thursday and pulled down a 33,000 roll on the sale of 40 head of fat steers raised on his Hill county stock farm, while he was browsing around the American league circuit's pastures last season. Manager Griffin of Cincinnati will send Tom Downey. the Bridgeport boy, to Hot Springs with the Red pitchers. Downey and the twirlers will £o in ad- vance of the rest of the squad. Grif- fith says that Downey, with all his cleverness, has one glaring fault. This the wily manager will endeavor to correct before the season gets under way. Downey, according to Griffith, is too ‘anxjous to throw the ball. “He doesn’t Wwait a moment before throwing the ball to first or second, whichever bag he is supposed to tosa to. Manager Clark Griffith of the Reds has traded Second Basemen Miller Huggins, Outfielder Oakes and Pitcher Corridon to the St. Louls Na- tional league clup for Pitcher Allen Beebe and Inflelder Fred Storke. “There is nothing to say about the trade” said Manager Griffith, “except that T believe it will strengthen both teams. Huggins I did not need, and he sat on the bench all last summer, But he is needed and will no doubt be very useful to the Cardinals. I have had my eve out for Beebe for some time, as I think him a good pitcher.” It is probably that Hughey Duffy will build up an entirely new infield for his White Sox next season. Blackburn will certainly play short, and it is said that John Collins, a youngster from the Connecticut league, will beat out Jakey Atz for the second base- man’s job. Gill formerly with the Pi- rates, will be tried out in Frank Is- bell’s place on first base. It s said he is a fast youngster and will make good there. Duffy likes voung blood and since there is none better than he at deveioping vdungsters it Is expected he will have a fast combination with these three as a nucleus. If Atz does not beat out the Connecticut boy he may be handed over to the Grays. We need him.-—Providence Tribune.

Gov ernor Weeks repeated the following go0d advice relative to the farm boys leaving for the city. in most cases to make failures, though a few are suc- cessful.
