CHARLES W. GALE, GARDINER HALL, JR, AMOS A. BROWNING, Committee. tebsa Run Postponed. / (Special to The Bulletin.) ‘Westerly, Feb. 11.—The bouts at the Pawtucket A. C. tonight were certain- Iy class in every way, bringing the specators to their feet every minute. The star bout of the evening was a handicap wrestling mateh between Bill Collins of Westerly and Tall Feather, the Manitoba Indian. The Indian was substituted for Charlie Rogers of Fall River, whose ear was in such a bad condition he was unable to go on. Rog- ers was to make 155 pounds ringside, with Collins making the same, for a finish bout, the best two in three falls. Collins made the weight after much hard training, but when Rogers arrived and told Bill he couldn’t wrestle under any conditions, it was finally agreed to put on Rogers’ partner, Tall Feather, the Indian agreeing to throw Collins three times in an hour, Collins, not wainting to disappoint the crowd, agreed to the match, showing his game spirit, which took the erowd. Tall Feather outweighed Collins about 25 pounds, but after wrestling an hour the best he could do was to get one fall and was very lucky to get that, as Collins pushed him every min- ute and very nearly got the Indian two or three different times with a balf-nelson and bar and arm hold. Collins’ steliar work brought applause after applause as he escaped from the Indian’s holds as fast as he could get them. The Indian got the only fall on a neck lock and arm hold in 37 min- utes. The semi-final, a boxing bout of six rounds, was between Billy Allen, the Norwich whirlwind, and Buck Fal- vey, the pride of New London. It was one of the fastest and cleverest bouts seen in many moons. The boys were well matched, each weighing about the same, Falvey having a few pounds the best of it. Abe the News- boy introduced the boys, and brought a big hand with his witty remarks. Abe challenged Bill Collins for a match to come off in a few weeks and will bet Collins can't throw him twice ‘n an hour. Collins took him up on the spot. The boys then pre] d for the go, starting right at each™ other from the tap of the gong and mixing it every minute. The first two rounds were about even, with Allen having a shade the better of it. After that Buck did not have a look fn. It was all Allen every minute, showing Buck clearly outclassed ,although he was game to the core, and ready to mix at all times, He got the worst of it in every mix, ‘Allen having him at his mercy witl his cleverness and stiffer punches and certainly showed the crowd he could go_and get the best at his weight. Billy got a big hand from the crowd at the finish, Joe Rivers was referee, with Mo- Knight timekeeper. Falvey had Young Gotch in his corner, Allen having Frank McLean, the one-time clever fighter, who stands ready ready to meet any 142-pound boy in New Eng- land, bar none. Frank handled Allen to_perfection. The preliminary wrestling bout was won by Kid Medda from Young Do- rando in eight minutes, It had the crowd howling every minute. Brooklyn Contracts Number Five.

Impending Holiday Affects Stocks— Money Market Developments. New York, Feb. 11.—The stock mar— ket was affected today by the im- pending holiday and the inclination of professional operators to close up con- tracts with a two days’ closed interval to go through. The open contracts proved to be largely on the bear side of the market, which was to be ex- pected in view of the prolonged liquidation of long accounts which has been going on quite steadily ever since the first of the year. The day’s ad- vances were not well held. Much was made in the speculation of the intention of President Taft to make a speech in New York tomorrow bear- ing on the administration’s attitude towards the corporation problem. The intimation was broadly conveved that this speech was to be of & reassuring character to capital and fnance. De- precation of alarmist assertions of the consequences to follow a possible de- cision by the supreme court in favor of the government in the American Tobacco and Standard Oil cases was said to be expected of this speech. The havoc to be &reated in the affairs of corporations by the acts to follow these decisions has been a favorite in- strument of the bears in the stock market for weeks. A suggestion that anything might be done during the holiday interval to take the ground from undet their feet by removing ap- prehension on the point was sufficient to cause uncovered shorts a feeling of anxiety. Developments in the money market were caiculated to stimulate an invest- ment demand for securities. The grow- ing abundance of banking resources in foreign markets induced expectation of a prolonged period of ease. One result of this development was seen the cabled reports that New York as again borrowing large sums of money in London, supposed to be de— signed for employment in the ~stock market. London was a buyer of stocks in New York today and some demand was reported also from French investors are said to be showing in- terest in our bond issues. An offset i= thus supplied to the trade balance against us. Discussion of supposed trade reces- ion_dropped out of sight in presence of the upward movement of stocks. There was o decline in the prices of copper in London in spite of yester- day's favorable statistics of the cop- per producers’ association. The cop- per industrials here turned strong and were prominent in the day’'s advance. Rumors were renewed of progress in the projected merger of the great pro- ducing interests. Buying of iron by ihe United States Steel corporation | below the recent market price was under some suspicion of & purpose to steady the market for sentimental ef- fect on buyvers of finished product. The announced stock dividend distribution by the Pullman company had _been foreshadowed in the advance in the price of the shares. Bonds were firm. ‘Total sales par value, $2,658,000.

The weather man, who sent a heavy ‘| rainstorm - Wednesday night, followed by freezing weather, put a stopper on the attempt by Captain Wicks to beat Hilton's road record from New .Lon- don to Norwich this afterncon. After a trip to Montville Friday afternoon for a look at the roads, Sporting Ed- itor Whitney of The Bulletin officially called the run off, but it will be carried | out at the ecarliest date possible when the roads bet into shape. From Trading Cove to Montville on Friday afternoon hardly 500 feet of de- cent foofing could be found in' the. highway. Full of frozen ruts and chop- | ped up by the horses’ feet, it resembled a ploughed field most of the way, with | not even a footpath at the side where | the runner could travel safe from a | sprained ankle. The road below Mont- | ville was said to be even worse. Under the circumstances the only thing to do was to call it off, although | Wicks was enthusiastic to run under | any conditions and not disappoint his friends, who have a bunch of the long green to place on his ability 1o beat the | record whenever he does trf it. They | have $200 in_the hands of Frank W. Shea of the Wauregan house to back Wicks. They are confident thefr man has the goods when it comes to run- ning and will be waiting with impa~ tience for a chance to prove it. Along towards evening the weather man still more effectively checked any attempt to make the run, when he sent a snow storm that covered the road an inch or more deep. TAKE A FALL OUT OF THEM. Tim Hurst's Way of Quenching Boisterous Umpire Baiters. I found a long time ago that the only way to bandle these boisterous players who are always nagging at an umpire is to say something to them that will touch their personal pride, says Tim Hurst, primee of controver- sialists on the dlamond fleld. As we say on the diamond, “take a fall out of them.” Sometimes an umpire will have to wait for several weeks to get something on a player before the op- portunity comes to spring it. One of the most troublesome players I ever had to deal with was Dusty Miller, who at one time played right fleld for Cincinnati. He had a habit of yelling all the way from right field at an umpire. He was rather bright, and some of his scurrilous remarks would attract the crowd in the bleach- ers, and the roar of jeers that started there would go all around the stands. He did that to be several times, and I was as hot as a hornet. I realized that he was taking advantage of a peculiar opportunity to show me up. One day I picked up-a paper am® saw where Miller had refused to sign his contract unless he got more money. That gave me an ddea, and I decided to try a bluff on him. You know all players are intensely sensitive about the amount of their salaries. If they are not paid well they do not wish the public or the other players to know how much they are getting. ‘The next day I ran toward first base to make a decision and called the run- ner safe. Naturally Miller wanted b called out. From right fleld he began tossing up his glove and making those irritating motions to the stand. “Why, he had him by two yards! Miller yelled to the crowd, and the jeers at me again started around the stands. No more of that from you!” I yell- ed at him. “A man getting & bush league salary has no right to open his mouth,” I could see that the shot had gone home. Rushing toward right field, I pointed my finger at Dusty and said so the crowd could hear jt: “Another word from you and TI'll tell the stands just what you are getting.” ‘Miller quieted down immediately. ‘When he came to the bench he was still worried. Coming to bat, he said to me: What do you know about my salary? Where do you come in to give a fellow a call linke that?” I knew then I had him winging. TWO BATTING STREAKS. Pirates Knocked the Ball to All Cor- ners of the Lot in June. The slugging Pirates cut loose with | two remarkable batting streaks in June. For seven games in succession they made hits as follows: 11, 13, 13, | 10, 12, 10, 12, a total of 82 in seven days. Beginning again on June 24 they made double fgure hits as follows in six successive games: 12, 13, 12, 14, 10, 14, a total of 7. That was the best sus- | tained batting of the year. They made 26 hits in two games on June 27. On | the same day the Cincinnatis made 25 hits in two games. The winning teams ! made & total of 51 hits. On June 24| there was a total of 79 hits in the four | games played. That was an average of | close to 20 a_game, great stick work. Sparse scoring attended the six games of July 5 on the part of the losers. | They made only five runs altogether, | and on July 6 in four games the losers made only three runs in all. The Pitts- burgs accumulated 28 wallops against St. Louls in two games on July 15. The Brooklyns played two errorless games on July 17. St. Louls, Plttsburg and Boston also plaved without an error | on that day. The Brooklyns shut out | St. Louls 1 to 0 twice on July 24. | Although outbatted eight hits to| four by Brooklyn on August 10, the Pittsburgs scored twice as often as their adversaries. Agamn on August | 13 the Pittsburss were outbatted 11 to | 6 by the Phillles, but beat them 2 to 1. The hit and run skill of the Pirates accounts in a great measure for their vistories when outbatted. August 26 and 27 were batting days. In the eight sames not less than 178 base hits were | put in pickle, over 20 hits a game. Bulletin Teams at Duckpins. _One of the classiest duckpin strug- gles of the season -locally is due for ! job room teams of The Bullefin meet in a three-gamé match. It will be that the job. room team has rolled in compétition, but the newspaper fellows have the experience of two matches behind them, Captain Neibert of the jop room team has picked Burdick, = Amburn, Trankla, and Wilson to make up his quintette. For substitutes in case any of these fall down at the critical time he has a good list and will not hesi- tate to rush one or two of them to the firing line if the newspaper bunch seems to be getting away with the game too easy. Pratt, Andrews and Manning are the three that stand ready to fill the gap in case of need. To encourage high scores, the job room boys have a box of cigars up for the man of their team who makes the best three-string total. The match is set for 8.15 o'clock. _Captain’ Sullivan has announced to his newspaper bunch that merit _alone /il win a place on his five, and that hey will have a try out in an elimina- tion series at the ailer~ this afternoon. From the showing that the candidates have made during the week, it looks like a close race between them all, and whoever is picked will have a substitute nearly as good to step into his shoes. Those who will fight for places are Captain Sullivan, Corning. Curran, Frew, Whitney. Troiahd, Loo- by. Bjurstrom, Joe Oat, and Bl Lynch, Trjout fer Pirates’ First Base.

Keeps Big Point Winner for Intercol- legiate Athletics—Yale a Heavy Los- er. University track athletes, whose am- bition is to be numbered with the point winners at the intercollegiate track and field championships, the blue ribbon of amateur track athietics in this country, Wwill find their task more difficult this year than usual. This is due to the fact that there are more of the 1309 point winners back in college and eligible to compete than is usually the case. There are only 143 possible points to be scored in the “intercollegiates.” Of the ‘men who composed the point winners last year there have graduated or left college men who scored 64 2-10 points, which leaves, in their various universi- ties. men who scored 7§8§-10 points. For' several years past the number of point winners lost through graduation or other causes hag usually exceeded the number left. Harvard fares by far the best of the competing collegos, and when one re- members the magnificent team that Harvard had a year ago it is hard to see @ very bright prospect for the oth- er colleges to head off the Crimson. Harvard has a nucleus of enough point winners which far outscores the total made by Yale a year ago. Harvard's advantage in this respect looks eve: more impressive when it is considered | tha the Crimsin's nucleus represents more points than are left to Yale,Penn- sylvania and Carnell combined, and lacks but a few of equalling the total Wwith Michigan ahead. Of the twelve men who scored Harvard's total of 39.1 points she has lost but two. These are ex-Captain Rand and Harwood, who between them scored but 5.2 points. This_leaves the Crimson with Foster, the double winner in the sprints; Blu mer, first in the quarter mile; Captain Little, the winner of the shotput; Gard- ner. Second in the low hurdles: Pope and Lawrence, who tied for first with three others in the high jump; Bar, who tied for second in the pole vault: Jacques, third in the two miles, and Watson and Kelley, who were fourth in the 220 and 400 yards, respectiveiy. There is oniy one way for any col- lege to win these champlonships from Harvard. That is by beating Haravrd men, for every point taken from Har- vard and added to its own side will hit Harvard 1y hard. Yale is the heavier loser, for the Elis | have lost men who scored 16 points for them a year ago, léaving them but a nuclens of 9.7 points. Yale’s heaviest | loss is that of ex-Captain Howe, who | won both the hizh and low hurdles. The Eils have also lost Campbell, the win- ner and intercollegiate record holder in the pole veult. Their final loss is that of Spitzer, who was fourth in the half mile run. The point winners re- tained are Nelson, who tled for second in the pole vault; Goebel, who was dams’ or San Francisco, =4 gams ncisco, 2.07 Georgia, 2.07 1-2, ¢t Aerolite first atiracted attention of ‘the horse world when e won a number of colt cvents i California in his two-vear-old form, cgshly winnin all of his races and taking a rocor of 2.15 1-2, It was as a thr enr-old that he made good all-of the glowing predictions of his admirers, winning every race and lowering his recor: to 2.11 1-4. That season, after his finai engagement, and at the urgent request of many horscmen, it was decided -to drive Aerolite an exhibition mil+ and hé set the trotling {ains aflutl by pacing the mile in 2.0 1-2, the last half being in 160 f-2. This cqualed the long-standing world’s record for threc. year-olds set by Klatawah. There ing no strong mile track cirenit in ifornia, Aerolite wa then retired for two seasons and with his reeord of 2.11 1-4, he should prove one of the classiest sidewheelers in th.: country. Barring accidents and if he irains sovnd. many California horscmen. he: licre he will beat two minuies in 1830, COVALESKIE'S BRIEF FAME. A yvéar ago last fall the one player who was the talk of the base was one Harry Covaleskie, a coal mincr from Pennsylvania. Practically un- heard of, he joined the Philadelphin Nationals and at once jumped into fame by winning thi umes in_six days from the New Y ants. The New Yorkers ght pames sched- uled for the final week with the Phil- lies. If they won six of those contests they would win the pennant which was hanging in the balance as the resuit of Merkie's failure to touch second base in a game with Chicago. Three | times Manager Murray sent the young jleft hander against the Giants and three times he won. The last time he facead the mighty Mathewson and won 3 to 2. In the ninth inning New York bad a man on third with one out and yet failed to score. ‘With such a record, Manager Murray was sure he had ihe greatest left hander of the age, but his dream was due to be shattered. When spring came arouna Covaleskie dellvered i no-hit game in practice, but after that he rarely pitched a ecreditable game, his record for the season being six vie- tories and ten defeats. Now he is sent along with rridon to Cincinnati in exchange for the veteran “spitter.” Ewing, and Brennan, a bush league recruit. He is another example of the old saying: “It's not what you were, is what you are today.” = At that, Covaleskie is liable to come back next season and pitch great ball. He must have the stuff to do what he did against the Giants, and very liks hurt his pitching arm in the s and never really regained its use. California Outlaw Refused Reinstate- ment. Cincinnati, Feb. 1l.—Reinstatement as an eligible player in organized base- ball was denied by the national base- ball commission to Monte C. Pfyl in a third in the hommer throw, and Can- | decision handed down by the commis- field, who was one of five to tie for first in the high jump. CORBETT AND JEFFRIES. The Former Insists That Jeffries Not Outbox Him. San Francisco, Feb. 11—Jim Corbett will not have it that Jeffries outboxed him or proved the cleverer in their last contest in San Franclsco, says a sport- ing man. In a recently published article Jim attempts to_pull to pleces my article in favor ot Jeffries on the occasion re- ferred to, and, ms is his wont when dealing with adverse critics, tries to guench me in the most gentlemanly manner possible. There is one thing I can say for Corbett. It bas been my privilege at various times during the iast quarter of a century—anyhow, since 1386—to criticise Jim—not_always harshly, by any means—and I _cannot recall that my. bluntness ever brought me a scowl from the fellow I saddled with the fighting nicknamg of Pompadour Jim. He was always pleasant to meet and converse with; always ready to admit that a sporting edior had a right to an honest expression of opinion, no matter how unpleasant reading it might make. But, argument here’s at you, Jim. In_dissecting my views, he says: “Now, I'll tell you what gave this sporting writer an idea that Jeffries outboxed me in that San Francisco fight. In the second round of that contest Jeffries caught me with a hard left swing in the short ribs that knocked all he strength out of me and consequently robbed me of my speed.” That will do for the present. Jim says a whole lot more, but it is too long to quote, and I dont wish to garble it. I think I can make my point from the extract above given. Corbett was trained to the minute for that fight. He gave himself special preparation, in fact, and hoped by the is argument, and | use of crowbars, giant dumbbells and other weighty apparatus to be able to gather some of the Jeffries strength on to the Corbett cleverness and thus bme:llte a combination that couldn't be at. He had all the confidence that came from the knowledge that the world considered him a peragon of pugilistic science. He had the self reliance that came from having stood off Peter Jackson, admittedly Australia’s pre- mier heavyweight. "He had the further self reliance that came to him from the fact that he had made a monkey of Jeffries for over twenty rounds at Coney Island. He started out on this second fight clear-brained, stout-lunged, limber- mescled and nimble-footed. He began to fiddle and feint, to bewilder and tangle the giant in front of him; yet to take his own words for it Jeffries upset all his plans and knocked all his knowledge, confidence and experience into a cocked hat with a hard left- hand swing in the short ribs that knocked all the strength out of him and robbed him of his speed. Isn't that being outboxed? so. And what does being mean, anyhow? 1Isn't it the winner who outswims or outruns the other man or other men? Of course it i A little further along Jim say “Now I'm simply using this explana- tion to show my readers that Jeffries is_not a clever boxer.” All right, Jim. But pray what con- stitutes cleverness?™ Can any kind of showing or performance that fails of its object be considered clever? When an army gencral, noted for his brilliant manoeuvres, plans what he considers will be a series of baf- fling movements on a battlefield and ds led into @ trap and smashed to a pulp by the opposing general, which is the clever man? CRACK PACER COMING EAST. Aerolite, Sold for $8,000, to Be Cam- med This Season. ‘Word comes from FPleasanton, Cai announcing the sale of the sensation: pacer Aerolite, to C. L. %ifford of Lew iston, Idaho. The price paid his for- mer owner was $8,000. Aerolite will undoubtedly be ‘prepared for a cam- paign at the big meetings of 1910 and if raced promises to prove one of the star paci of the years. Aerolite was foaled in 1904, being sired by the fast stallion Searchlight, 2.03 1-4, while his dam is .the great brood mare Trix, by Nutwood Wilkes, 2.16 1-2, the lat- ter being the sire of the popular Cleve- land trotter, John A. McKerron, 2.04 1-2. Trix has siready produced such grand race horses as Mona Wilkes, 2.03 1-4, Moortrix, 2.07 1-: Sirius Painter, 2.18; Thelma, 2.19 1-4; and Leota, 2.23. In addition to John A. McKerron, - Nutwood Wilkes " has Qit. 201 i-4 and the 1 think outboxed sion this cvening. Pfyl had lodged a plea with the commission admitting that he played with the Stockton, Cal., so-called “out- law” team last season, ‘when he was wunder contract with the New York Na- tionals, but pleaded extenuating cir- cumstahces. The eommission in its review of the case holds that the player was not justified in his course and refused to Teinstate him. How McCann Left the Big Leagu Magnate McCann of the Bridgeports tells a ood story about how he came to out of the National league in 1901. Gene was one of Hanlon's young pitchers in Brooklyn and wasn't being worked much, although out of three appearances oii the rubber lie was suc- cessful twice. Billy Shindle, manager of the Hartford team of the Eastern league, made a flying trip to Washing- ton park after a pitcher and brought with him a tip on a horse race. The horse was a 3 to 1 shot and Shindle was 80 insistent that it would win that Hanlon drew $400 from Charles Fb- betts, Tom Daly making a $100 touch from ' his manager and Joe Kelley also hitting Foxy Ned for the same. Thc trio played Shindle’s tip and the horse won. The next morning Shindle ap- peared in Washington park and agked for the loan of a pitcher. “Take any of the kids you want” Hanlon told Shindle. Bill__selected McCann, and that was the finish of H. National league pitcher. BASEBALL BRIEFS. as a Horace Fogel has selected Wilkes? barre as the farm for his Quakers. Mathewson is playing indoor baseball every day, and he savs that his arm nevt year will be just as good as it was when he won the world’s cham- plonship against the Athietlcs. Jimmy_Collins, &vho is to have charge of the Preovidence team next season, will ind many players in the Eastern league who were in the big show when he was manager of the Boston team. Jack Taylor, the former Cub pitcher, is a free agent again. He signed a non-reserve contract with the Dayton, O. team of the Central league last summer, and consequently is at lib- erty. New Haven may not get Outfielder Belden from the Terre Haute team, as it develops that Pitcher Dickinson, who was swapped In the deal for Bélden, bad never signed a New Haven con- tract. Manager Connery of Hartford has received a signed contract from Wal- ter P. Regh, a right handed pitcher. He must have something, as he pitched @ 2 to 0 game against the St. Louls Americans. Spike Shannon, formerly of the New York Glants and of the Pittsburg Pi- rates, batted .210 In 162 games in the American assoclation as a member of the Kansas City club.

He accented in per- feet style 83 chances during the season in the outfield. There is no chance o do away with the spikes, according to the baliplayer who has been skimming around the diamond with them for vears. Down south last spring Charlie Hemphill tried aspair out without spikes, and declared that there would be 170 usc in trying to get rid of the spikelets. Collins’ fielding has seldom been men- tioned in connectior with his name, He has gererally been spoken of as a batsman. An examination of the rec- ords, however, reveals not only that he was one of the best batsmen In ‘the ieague, making Ty Cobb hustle for homors, but he led all of the regular second’ sackers on the defensive cnd of the game. His record for the sea- son shows fielding everage of .967 for 152 games. Chicago fans want Murphy and Chance to take back Catcher John Kling.
