It wfl.l be the first out of town game for the Nor- wich rollers. Captain Dynon of the Cutlery team stated Wednesday evening that he ac- cepted the challenge of the Uncas Spe- cialty company for Friday night and the game is to be played. There are also to be two bleachery tcams for the same night. High single at the Rose alleys on ‘Wednesday was Bill McClafferty’s 125, . which was good for the daily prize. The biggest crowd of the season by long odds gathered in the Windham A. C.’s rooms at Willimantic on Wednes- day evening and was well repaid by witnessing a good card. The sport opened with a wrestling match be- tween Young O’Connell and Piko - ber, the former winning in straight falls in 3 minutes’ 15 seconds, and 7 minutes 10 seconds, respectively. Bill Collins of Central Village refereed. The second prelim was to have been a5 round boxing. exhibition between Monk McQuillan and Kid Wilkerson of Lowell, Mass. but it was stopped at the end of the first round, as it was apparent that Wilkerson was too «clever for the Sodom youngster. Col- lins and Wilkerson furnished four good rounds to complete the preliminary. ‘The main event was six 3-minute rounds of good fast boxing between Abe the Newsboy of New London and Frank McLean of Willimanti. This event was a corker that well satisfied the crowd. Abe had the weight, McLean the skill and quickness. The last two fac- tors enabled McLean to easily dutpoint his game but more sluggish opponent in ever- round. There were several good exchanges in each round and clever footwork by McLean. Most of the Newsboy’s blows landed on the body, while those of McLean were placed wherever he wished them to land. . At the conclusion, Abe stated to the spectators that McLean was a tfar better man with the mitts than Billy Allen. Shaun Sullivan refereed. William Mallon and L. N. Dondero were timers. THE WAY LEWIS ESCAPED. Put Bill Papke Off the List. Has it come to this in Paris that a pugilistic manager must take the whip- ping that his fighter shirks? Must lit- tle Dan McKetrick lay bare his young and tender jaw to the battering ram of the Illinois Thunderbolt because Willie Lewis won’t offer his own jaw? Willle has conquered all Europe. He has squashed every lemon in France and England He was a king and there had to be something more for him to conquer. Willie’s courage, which nev- er sold at par in the United States, was worth many times par in Paris. So Dan had sent to the United States for something tough. He got Harry Lewis, and you know what a lacing Harry handed to Willie for twenty rounds. Bill Papke also was on_the way and arrived in time to see Willie and Harry go. Willie was not so con- fident afier Harry got through with him and every time he thought about Papke he had a chill. He well re- membered the six rounds that Papke handed to him in Pittsburg and he shuddered to think of twenty rounds of that kind of stuff. “Mon _ Dieu!” exclaimed Willie to Dan, if I am reliably informed. “Dan, I don’t want any of this Thunderbolt person.” “Pourquoi 2” sacre bleu and anything want. Something had to be done of course, It wouldn't do to let the worshipping Paris public know that Willie’'s old trouble had returned. Right there is where Dan McKetrick showed how great a manager he is. “Who told you you could fight?” Dan velled at Papke the next time they met. “What’s that?” “You're a yellow Dan.

WOLGAST FOR CLABBY’S SECOND Jimmy Expects to Have the Champion in His Corner. ‘When lightweight champion Ad Wol- gast was starting out to climb the pu- gilistic ladder, he left his home town of Cadillac, and for a time made his headquarters at Milwaukee. Here he was a pal of Jimmy Clabby, and the two boys boxed many practice bouts. Now Ad is expected back in Milwaukes and is looked to be there in time to second Clabby on Friday night when he meets Jimmy Gardner of Boston. Ad Woigast, the new king of the lightweights, and his manager, Tom Jones, are expected to arrive in Chi- cago early this afternoon. Ad will run up to Milwaukee, as the new champion is anxious to see his former friends. However, his stay will probably be short this time, as he is also anxious to return to his home town, Cadillac, “Also you answered Dan, else exclaimed Bill. ATTORNEYS AT LAW. dog!” answered AMOS A.

Clabby is tearing off some lively work in_his training for his coming bout. Yesterday Gardner ar- rived In Chicago and reports from there this morning that he will stay in the Windy city and finish his train- ing there. Gardner says that he is already in good shape, and he is down to 150 pounds, which bears out the statement. = Duckpin Bowling.

Yet Speculstive Sentiment Was Cheer- ful—Closing Was Weak. ew York, March 9.—The semblance at times today of great strength and animation in the stock market is not borne out by analysis of the movement which resulted in net declines for the day. Speculative sentiment, neverthe- less, was cheerful and confidence jn values 'was well maintained, which doubtless fulfilled the purpose of the supporters. That concerted support was responsible for the movement of prices was the impression given by the action of the market. Operations centered markedly in a few stocks, of which Union Pacifi New York Central and United Stat Steel were the conspicuous examples. The raising of the dividend rate on New York Central to six per cent. was in meccordance with expectations form- ed by the previous liberal disburse- ments by subsidiary companies, in- cludin~ the recent six per cent. extra dividend on Lake Shore stock. A fur- ther sharp rise in New York Central —with the expected good news out— warranted a favorable augury of the general speculative position, bringing cut moderate pressure of vealizing sales. The good mnews on the market was s large factor in lifting prices in other portions of the list. That large selling to realize was pushed under cover of the sustaining force of these advances was also plainly true, as proved by the uneven and lagging re- sponse of the general list to the ad- vancing tendency and the later ma- terial reaction. The quick sale made ©of bonds of a minor road In the sub- sidiary Lake Shore system was an in- cident of the day's rise in New York That other financing by that intended which will be helped by the strength of the stock offers further explanation of the pro- tection given to its movem wider advan: in Union Pa direct outgrowth of the Ne tral dividend action. Union Pacific's holdings of New York Central are not large cnough to make the increased disbursement of great importance to its income, but its variety of treasury holdings and the inferences implied in a general policy of dividend increases on' these holdings appealed to the spec- ulative spirit. ‘A sharp fall in foreign exchange rates was an incident of the day that is important, in view of the expanding demands on the New York money mar— ket. In the stock market London was a large seller here again, in spite of subscriptions to new bond issues. The opening decline in prices was caused by that selling.

Johnson, who has an- nounced his purpose to run from New London to Norwich and back again on ‘Wednesday in three hours and fifteen minutes disappointed a good sized crowd here by his failure to start at all. Johnson stated to the New Lon- don newspaper men that he thought the roads were in too poor shape to make the attempt, but the general im- pression down there seemed to be that it was a case of cold feet. He did not say when he might try again. About 2 o'clock there was a good sized crowd waiting around the cor- ner of ‘Main and Shetucket streets here to see the runner finish the first lap of his journey, but when the crew of the 2.15 Montville troley came in and reported they had seen nothing of any runner on the road it was realized that he could not be expected and they faded away. That interest in the run— ning game locally is at the top notch was indicated by the eagerness of the crowd to get news of the runner, and any harder hiker who wants to get in the public eye has enly to announce that he is out for distance road recorad to secure a crowd when he makes his attempt.

Academy Baseball. Some of the most enthusisatic ef the Academy baseball players were out on Wednesday for first practice, The field has dried up well, but the raw March wind made it somewhat un- comfortable for the early birds. If the earnest gentlemen who are tinkering year by year with the rules, ar. whe aiways deeclare that th want to help ‘fe downtrodde: men, would try a simple and harm- less experiment or two they might gain some valuable information and be placed in a fair way to solve the problem of the fading averages. There is a lot of time between now and April Why not try the experiment of rai: ing the batters’ box and glving the hitter the advantage® of elevation, so long conceded to the pitchers? says W. A. Philon. For several years the pitching slab was placed on a hill, and this was carried to such a pass in some parks that the hurler was on a veritable mountain,from which he sent his whiz- zing surves down at the batsman. The rules now provide for only a moderate elevation of the pitcher, but he still has all the best of the situation. Elevating the batsman might not help the straightaway hitting so far as most of the curves are concerned, but it would end, once and for all, t gheatest nnisance of which the bat: men have complained during recent years—the spitball. That noxious and slimy pest is a low drop shoot, so far es tangent and action are considered. It breaks about the height of the knee and bangs like wet lead into the catcher’s fins, held down near his ankle. Put the batsman on a hill and the spitball is done. for. Pitchers admit that they cannot throw the spitball high. It won't work right when it breaks way up, and if thrown low, with the batsman on a hill, it would simply hit the turf for a called ball. In other words, elevat- ing the batter ends the spitball and kills off a nuisance of the game. There are other y advantages which would be given fil‘ batter by elevat- ing his position. He would get a fairer, flercer swing at many choots, and he could drive the leather at a more difficult angle for the infield to capture. With the hill on a prpper slant, he would also pick up speed and impetus on his way to first and beat out many infield bounders that are now sent across ahead of the runners. The scheme looks worthy of a trial, and if it wouldn't work it would take only a few demonstrations to prove it. ‘This idea looks good. So does the three ball proposition. The opponents of the three ball idea maintain ‘that it would result in too many bases on balls, thus deadening the game. Nothing of the sort. Nearly every pitcher nmow wastes one or two balls, deliberately, sending them wide in hopes that the batsman may foolishly swat at them, which he doesn’'t do once in 87 times. With a three ball ruite, the pitcher would simply have to cut out that sort of idiocy. He would have to feed the pills across the platter straight and true, and the batters would get a fair, square whack at the leather. That would improve the batting from the start, and would penalize only the wilder hurlers. If something isn't done to offset the progress of the pitchers, it will be only two vears before there will be no .200 hitters, excepting maybe Cobb, Crawford and Wagner, and averages of .250 will be considered splendid bif- fing.
