Dwring #$he past two sea- note have beén seen in_action:in the Thread City, but the main event of the evening, & 1 hish -wrestling match be- tween Fan Anderson of Boston, cham- pion _middle peight wrestler of the world and h:plder of tiie belt,“and Copa Deoro, the ‘|75 pound Cuban grappler of New Yo rk, conclusively convinced the audienc e that they were both real aftists at the mat game. Deoro, was heavier by ten pounds, rugged, but was inclined to e too pusilistic and lacked the stamir a ang Scientific finesse that stamped #(nderson as a polished and gentlemandy wrestler. At no time during the grind did Deoro have An- derson at a decided disadvantage, while, ori the other hand, time and again A nderson, thoroughly schooled in the cl ever points of the sport, show- ed that he had it on the Cuban in more ways than one and many -times came n ear pinning him to the mat. Ande rson worked all the time and was alert and alive to every oppor- tunity, bringing to ligat new tricks galore. / He obtained the first fall in 40 mi: jutes 30 seconds on a full crotch hold. The second try between the men was € :ven more flerce and Deoro tried to plrv a few nasty tricks that did not set vrell with the crowa or the referee and he was warned a number of times. The ‘match continued faster and still fastior until Anderson with lightning- like rapidity obtained the geunine toe h0l¢| on Deoro and the Cuban gave up, An¢ lexson having him completely at his me fcy. The second fall was made in 20 minutes 10 seconds. The champion WS accorded a great hand. ‘The main bout was preceded by a thiree round _sparring exhibition be- trreen Frank McLean and Block Harris 270d the second number, which was to bave been a five round go between JAarry Denman and Young ‘Miller, both of this city, only went two rounds, be- ‘cause it was evident that Denman was too clever for his opponent. Frank McLean was referee and William Mal- lon was timekeeper. Announcer L. N. Dondero stated that Young Jenkins of Worcester, Mass., and Tall Feather, the Manitoba Indian, were matched for this city in a finish g0 next Wednesday evening, and that a side bet of $100 had already been posted. Abe the Newsboy was present and challenged McLean or Collins for a six round go. Both were on hand and accepted matches to be arranged between the former after April 13, when McLean is booked for a ten | round go at Webster with Kid Rod- | man. Sam Anderson issued a challenge | to Jack McGrath, the Irish Giant, of | Norwich, for a finish match, best two | out of three falls, at any time and is | ready to wrestle for anything from $50 | up to $500 and will post the necessary | forfeit with the sporting editor of The | Bulletin if McGrath accepts this chal- | lenge at once. | Boycott U.

Mesting on Friday—Lynch Has Player Limit Rule to 'r‘p.-./ New York,” March 23.—President Lynch of the National league received a telegram today from Garry Herr- mann, chairman of the national com- mission, calling a meeting of that body for next Friday morning at 11 o'clock in Cincinnati, to consider the question of the reinstatement of Catcher John Kling. Lynch will attend this meet- ing, and after Kling’s case is passed on he wil' urge the adoption of a uni- form rule by the commission regard- ing the player limit, which will be in in true form today and defeated Cam- | force in the major leagues this sea- bridge in the sixty-seventh struggle between them by three and a half lengths. The race was rowed on the Thames from Putney to Mortlake, a distance of four and one-half miles, and after the first mile there was never any question as to result. At the first mile the lighter Cambridgemen were a_quarter length ahead, but they ha shot their bolt in this early spurt an began dropping behind. The race was in magpy respects a repetition of last year's struggle, Ox- ford being a hot favorite. Cambridge won the toss and chose the Middlesex side of the river, getting what slight advantage there was from the wind.. The Oxford boat had the Surrey side. The wind was not enough, however, to rough the water, which was another advantage to the Cantabs, as their lighter crew would have been at a disadvantage in rough water. The average weight of the crews was: Ox- ford 176 3-4, Cambridge 172 3-4. The start was made at 12.27. Cam- bridge , immediately began using a stroke of 36, to Oxford’s 35, which sent the light blue boat slightly in the lead. Oxford, taking things easy, permitted this lead to be maintained ‘throughout the first mile, when the Cantabs seem-~ ed to tire. At Hammersmith's bridge, one-third of the distance to the finish, Oxford was leading by three-fourts of a length, and her supporters knew that nohting ‘but an accident could rob her of her race. * Cambridge rowed a gamey race in the face of defeat, and in the last mile of the race lost only three-fourths of a length. The Oxford crew was a far stronger crew physically than the Cambridge men. The Cantabs looked as though htey had been overworked. Their stroke, H. J. S. Shields, was criticised for the short, stabbing thrust of his oar, which compared most unfavorably with the effective swing of the rival stroke, Captain R. C. Bourne. Most spectators thought that Captain E. G. Williams, who pulled No. 5, should have stroked the Cambridge boat. The time was 20 minutes and 14 sec- ons, one minute and 27 seconds be- | hina the record. KETCHEL LUCKY Z TO GET DRAW. Bout With Klaus Was Slow—Stanley Evidently in Poor Condition. Pittsburg, March 23.—Stanley Ket- chel, middleweight champion of the world, did well to win the popular approval of “draw” in his six-round bout fonight with Frank Klaus, a local boy. before the largest audience ever FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. PRESSURE OF STOCKS Carried Prices Comprehensively Down- wards—Explanations for the Selling. New York, March 23.—The early promise today of an inert holiday mar- ket was not borne out by the later developments, when increasing pres- sure of stocks for sale carried prices comprehensively downwards. The yielding of prices was attributed part- Iy to the counter movement of the pro- fessional element in the speculation, which had demonstrated the apathetic demand at any advance in price when they sought to realize profits. The traders have no other recourse when an attempt on one side of the market proves unsuccessful but to turn to the other side. It was asserted at the stock ex- change that a large part of the selling of stocks was for Boston account and might be in the pursuance of a specu- lative campaign. The unrest mani- fested by labor in many departments was advanced as one explanation for this selling. The decision for a strike by New Haven employes was supposed to be a factor in bringing this condi- tion home to the minds of the New England sellers of stocks. The array of charges against the United States Steel corporation presented to the at- torney general by the American Fed- eration of Labor was another factor in making the day's sentiment. So also was the result of the election in the Fourteenth Massachusetts district of a congressman. The Boston selling was accompanied by professions of appre- hension that revision of the tariff would be made an active issue of the coming political campaign, with the traditionally unsettling effect on se- curities markets. The demand for stocks at any level of prices was ex- tremely apathetic and when the sell- ing pressure attained any force prices yielded ‘rapidly. The results of the New York city bond sale did not ere- ate enthusiasm as they were studied in their larger bearings. This feeling was emphasized by the renewed de- cline in the price of New York city bonds, the new four one-quarters res ceding to” 101. The average subscrip- tion price having amounted to 101.25, the day’s price thus represented a loss to the subscribers. At the same time, the foreign exchange market was low- er and bills sold were supposed to be against the foreign subscriptions to the new bonds. The general bond mar- ket was unfavorably affected and this operated against the success of the further financing to be effected by the railroads. An incident of the day was the dec- laration of only the regular dlvidend on Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis stock, though an increase has been persistently rumored. The ‘small decline in that stock and others in its group, which have been sub— jects of similar rumors, was notice- able. The early ‘advance in Reading was accompanied by rumors that the Baltimore and Ohio holdings of that stock had been sold. The recent a. quisition of Hocking Valley by Cheésa. peake and Ohio has served to increase the credence given to rumors of other deals. Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value, $4,317,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. STOCKS. EE FRERFEERRREREREY E;sim?isssl ssud 7 gust 14.18, September Do. pta .. Atlantic _Coa: X Baltimore & Olilo, Bethlehem ‘Steel .

This morning at Sachem park the | work will begin preparing for a sport- !ing event which has been the talk of the caunty since Captain Billy Wicks | took the New Londom connty distance running championship last week, with his mark of 1.23.08 from New London to Norwich. At once Wicks, Hilton and Tuckey were matched for a 15 mile race, which will be run at Sachem park on Saturday afternoon, beginning CLIFFORD HILTON. | at 3 o'clock, under the manasement of Dennis J. Hayes and Stephen P. Cof- ey. : Wednesday afternoon Mr. Hayes was up at the park looking over the field lana had carpenters at work putting the seats in the grandstand in ship- shape condition, and this morning the ‘track will be laid out by Engineer Frank Kromer. A tiptop course can | be secured, it is believed, by running | | the track just around’the outside of { the diamond, making it either six or eight laps to the mile, ana bringing the runners up where a fine view will be obtained from the grandstand as | well as giving. a chance fer the spec- tators to stand on both sides of the track. . It will be marked out by three foot posts at ~proper intervals with smaller posts with flags on them in between. The popularity of all three contestants and the uncertainty of the women and boys is looked for, That is will be a contest for blood and no stalling at any point of the | man that wins will know he has been in a race if it is in the power of his rivals_to make him extend himself. | With Wicks and Tuckey it will be their competition at this dis tance, but Hilton is the man with ex- perience at the game, and the sport | followers are figuring on what will be the programme of the three runners. Where the race has been talked over, the opinion is gaining ground that | Hilton may be expected to go out and | kill off the other two men in the early miles, but backers of the other two runners profess no anxiety for their men_ If these tactics are followed out. -An_enthusiastic supporter of - Hilton said Wednesday night that this run- ner would not be satisfied with a one lap lead at the finish if he could make it two or more, and that the English- man would be out to make the margin as_wide as possible. While the other two men have been taking part in recent races, Hilton has not been neglecting his training, doing much of it at nizht around the Falls and over the Mohegan park roads, and is said to e feeling fine and fit. A gold watch is the prize offered for the runners, and the match is to be pulled off under amateur rules. It was first proposed for the afternoon of Fast Day, but as St. Patrick’s parish, which _owns grounds, refused to rent them for a even on Fast Day, is was arras or Saturday. A sporting man on Wednesday evn- ing said that he had noticed that Tuckey had challenged Wicks for a 250 side bet on a 15 mile race, and ask- ed hy-it was that the coming contest might not include also this challenge and puree.. This would make a dual race .inside the triangular, all three competing for - the watch, and those | two, Tuckey and Wicks, for the purse, .

McGrath indulged in a number of uncomplimentary epithets and termed the Indian a bonehead. He also delighted in slapping the In- dian’s back and telling the manager to “Shut up” until Officer O’Brien threat- ened to call the bout to a close. The referee cooled off somewhat, but kept up his supttering, and Barnes was al- ways bound to have the final word. Allie Murphy and Partner. Allie Murphy, the well known local duckpin roller, who left here some time ago to manage some alleys in Bridge- port, has been secured by Manager Stone of the Rose alleys for a matcl here on Easter Monday evening. Mur- phy will. have with him another Bridgeporter, Mr. Liggins, who a top-string man in the Bridgeport state league, and they will line up in a match’ game against a Norwich pair of rollers, At the Rose alleys on Wednesday, high single at ducks was rolled by Roy Hllfl ‘with 132, giving him the daily prize. Wants to Run. ‘Wilbur Smith f New London is out with a challenge to Samuel oJhnson to run a Marathon, indoors or out- doors, or the round trip to Norwich, for $200 a side, Smith says the rumor that he had challenged Gentilello is without foun- dation, Walked from New London. Wilbur W. Smith and Lawfence Lucy were two New London walkers who reported in this city Tuesday af- ternoon, having covered the turnpike route in two and one-half hours. Smith is expecting to make a run over the course next Sunday afternoon. Young Lagell Challenges Bill Collins. Young Lagell of Worcester, now re- siding in Putnam, challenges Bill Col- Lins of Central Village for 10 rounds for any side bet. The above challenge was telephoned to The Bulletin by Young Lagell on Wednesday evening. DON'T LIKE SCOUTING. Sam Kennedy Not Stuck on Searching the Minors for Ball Players. Sam Kennedy, the former Connecti- cut leaguer, is now scouting for the Cleveland club. But he does not like his job, “There isn’t a scout in the business that likes his job,” claims Kenndy. Connie Mack’s former sleuth turns a new phase of the supposed easy duties of the modern player “se- cret service man” to the view of the inquisitive and dope assimilating fan. The term “scout” has in late years been a syonym for leisure and com- fort. Sitting in a grand stand day by day with nothing to do but puff perfec- tos and watch the actions of the youngsters who perform in the leagues of lesser standing, with railroad rides to all parts of the country, does in faet seem more or less of a snap. But Scout Kennedy says there are plenty of drawbacks attached to this appar- ent pleasurable vocation, Being a detective and hiding one's identity on days when the sun figur- atively drops from the sky to a few feet above the parched earth, and hav- ing to watch games from positions that offer little protection from its rays, is not a welcome duty. Then there are towns where there are no grand stands at all and where even the moving pic- ture shows do not reach, and trains but semiweekly. “Verily, the draw- backs cannot be enumerated,” explains Kenndy. The réason Sam scouts Is—the same | old reason. The big league clubs are not afraid of overdrawing the exche- quer when the salary of a worthy dis- coverer is a matter of mercenary con- | sideration, and being too corpulent to pick up’excavators at his old position at first base and better fitted for se- cret work than anything else, he be- came a building helper of Connle Mack two vears ago_ in which capacity he since continued. He was with urning Connie until traded to the Cleveland club the past winter. Before graduating into a scout he played with Baltimore in the Eastern league and ew Haven and others in the Connec- 1t league, Kennedy says his dislike for his job won’t have any deleterious effect on his labors for Messrs. Somers and Kil- foyl. *“One man can make or break a ball club,” says he. “And I am go- | ing to try and find the one man who | can make the Nap club.” As an illus- | tration of his one man make or break idea he commented: “Would the Ti- gers have won three pennants without Cobb? Wagner is pretty much the whole Pittsburg team, You can't comb the ‘brush of the minor leagues and expect to’ bring in finished plavers.” said Kennedy. “Many people, includ- | ing a few managers, hold this errone- | ous idea. Cases where plavers make good in their first year out are ex- ceptional. Baker of the Athletics did, | but he’s one of the rare ones. Wug- { ner was turned back before he was able to hold up, and it was two before Coob flashed. A man has to | work up in baseball as in anything | else.. T think Erle Bitting, now with | the Naps, will be a wonder when he reaches 21, but I don’t think he'll stay this season.” Kennedy _differentiated the respec- tive tasks of manager and scout. “They are as possible of comparison as a sur- geon and a doctor of medicine. The scout s the surgeon; he cuts 'em up. And the doctor heals or smooths over the rough spots. A good scout is one | who is able to judge accurately the | capabilities of a plaver, For instance, two boys may be playing side by side and performing equally well. One of them may be tensioned to the highest notch, The other may be goine along without effort. The problem of the man looking for material is to pick the one who takes most naturally to the game. Another guess is to select the voungster who has something to de- i ready reached his limit. A youngster of 18 or 20 is worth more than one of 26 . The former is figured good for ten years of service, the others are not good for half that period.” BULLDOZING UMPIRES. Try 1t—Young Troubles. Old Players Always Umipre Has Hi: The young umpire has the same trouble, though he never has the en- couragement that is given a young ball player, says Tim Hurst. He knows that all of the old leaguers will try to bulldoze him at the start and he knows that the crowd is always ready to be- gin jeering him. Umpires are even more sensitive to the comments of the crowd than the plavers. All umpires try to give correct de- cisions. are ambitious to make reputations. Knowing that they are trying t8 be 1 and accurate, it cuts them to the quick for the crowd to give them no consideration. I was reading in the papers the other day where a young umpire was ac- credited with nerve for declar- ing a game forfeited because the players refused to resume their posi- tions. Now, I want to tell you that it requires more nerve to make the players continue tban it does to ¢ » Velop. in preference to one who has al-' R TRy iy r money’s T Lk juently forfeiting games an umpire d cnk;k!y Kkill off public patron- age. Umps Mustn't Worry., ‘The trouble with most umpires, even after they become veterans, is Mfil%‘bokonthefinwtmur{- ously. ey bave an idea that the fans will remember a decision for years. This is not true. ‘Those things are forgotten in two days. The umpire should look upon a ball game as a passing Incident. It's liable to break one way one day and then an- other the mext. The umpire who takes those things seriously will soon take on an expression of worry and it will last until the end of his days. There are two distinct classes of players that an umpire must under- stand before he is successful. He must be a great judge of human na- ture and must treat the players ac- cordingly. The {wo classes of players are those that mag at an um- pire all the time and those who are always there with the salve. These salve artists have the umpire going 80 strong sometimes that they get the best of everything. The naggers as a gule get the worst of it. It might be a good idea right here eo explain that players do nof kick at an umpire to make him change the decision he has just made. They are kicking for the -l‘tegt it will have on future decisions. All players will bulldoze umpire If they get the chance, IRVIN ORIGINATED YANNIGANS. Veteran Used It in 1888 and It Tas Been Popular Sinc an Maybe you have wondered where the word Yannigan originated, and v may have also wondered who originat- ed’it, The man who did 8o is in At- lanta with the Philadelphia Athletics, He is Sam Irwin, manager of the Phil- adelphia Yannigans, says the Atlanta Constitution. This word has been in existence since 1888. It was during the season that Irwin named the Reserves, as they were then called, the Yanni- gans, and it came about in this way, according to Mr. Irwin: “I had a pitcher with the team named Mati- ‘We were parnstorming through On_com- more. New England at the time. ing into the bench after each inning he would vell at e, ‘Oh, you Yanni gan!” The name struck me as orl, nal, and I asked him what it meant. ‘“Hanged If I know,' said he, but he kept on using it, After the game I thought it over and it struck me as a pretty good name for my bunch of Reserves. I named them the Yanni- Zans the next day when they came to the ball park. It stuck from that time on, and all the other teams have used it 'ever since. Other persons have claimed the distinction of originating that word, but that is how it really started.” Mr. Irwin is over 70 years old, but is hale and hearty, and as llve- 1y as all the youngsters over whom he has charge and with whom he s ex- tremely popular.

The Philadelphia Athletics will leave Atlanta late next Sunday night and will play in Greenville om Monday and then jump to Baltimore, where there are games scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. immediate- ly following the latter contest, the team will .leave for Philadelphia, Frank Baker and Amos Strunk, the only two members of the seaior squad now numbered among the cripples, should round into shape this week. Eddie Collins’ batting eye scems as keen as ever, and he has been meeting the fall with that hit-getting famili- arity which charatcerized his sensa- tional work last season. His field jn the three Atlanta games has been su- perb, Mclnnes, who is with the Yanigans, is playing short in sterling form. Danny Murphy smashed the ball against Atlanta one /healthy wallop for two bases and gave a fleeting glimpse to the visitors of that strength in the batting line thnt has alw characterized the redoubtable phy. Ira Thomas. who got his first work- out behind the bat,on Friday, gave Captain Davis no oecasion to worry about his active part in the coming struggle for the pennant. Eadie Collins annexed his first home run of the season with Momerle wallop to cent that rambled by ess, and rolled on its revolving course clear to the flagpole.
