Wicks, Hilton and Tuckey are, so far as known, the fleetest runners in New London and Washington coun- ties and it is expected that the twq will be in the race from start to finish. The running game is on in earnest in Norwich and New London and it is hinted that some Westerly young men of endurance are in training with expectency of entering into the sport in the very near future. The claim is made that Westerly has always been well in the five in all that has been undertaken in the sporting line and, now that the running fever is ig| the air it is likely to become con tageous and strike some of Wester- 1y’s best long distance Tunners. Among the bunch one could perhaps be se- lected that could outfoot the winner of the match in Norwich, Saturday afternoon, Collins Matched With Lagell. Bill Collins visited Putnam on Thurs- day and arranged to fight Young Lagell ten rounds in private on Saturday night for $25 a side. Collins is expect- ing to start on a trip to Vermont next week, where he has a number of wres— tling dates to fill. MARKET STAGNANT. Efforts to Move Prices Abandoned by. New York, March 24—The profes- sional room traders in stocks had practically abandoned their futile ef- forts to move prices by the early af- ternoon today, when the market lapsed into a state of stagnation. With the prolonged holiday to be faced here with the stock exchange to be closed tomorrow and Saturday and with no London or continental market in that time and the London closing to extend to Tuesday next, the habitual opergpt- ors in stocks were much more inclined to reduce their commitments in stocks than to make new ones. Concernt over the political outlook was advanced as the reason for ,the morning selling, in continuation’ of yesterday’'s movement. A large part of the selling was said to originate in Boston, where Tuesday’s congressional election was of most effect in its in- fluence on opinion regarding the elec- tions next fall. The conviction over next fall's results, however, did not serve to confirm the sellers in their determination to stay short of stocks forythree days of a closed market. The covering operations brought prices to last might’s closing level. ‘The obscure money outlook was a dissuasive influence on stock opera- tions. The domestic interior has been shipping currency to New York on balance during this week, "but the withdrawals on sub-treasury opera- tions have been somewhat larger. The complexion of the weekly statement of the Bank of England emphasized the tion that the official rate of dis- count will be raised again. Next ‘week’s requirements on the ¥London money market are very large. Ex- tensive government borrowings will transfer money from the open market to the Bank of Englend so that an advance in its discount rate will ‘be effective on the open money market rate. Another decline in British con- sols today made a new low record for the year and also since 1907. 'The New York city 41-4 per cent. bonds were steadier today but did not rally to the subscription price. The Wabash and the- Maine Central were Teported to have sold short term notes to avoid the necessity of assuming long term objligations at the present un faictory market. A disquieting feature of the market was the unsupported condition of some of the minor industrial stocks. Small selling caused wide declines dn the Allis-Chalmers securities and in_ rail- way steel spring preferred.

Roller, and Zbyszko Both Ex- hausted—Police Stopped Bout—No Fall. According to the newspaper accounts the wrestling match “betwen Zbyszko, the huge Pole, and Dr. B. F. Roller of Seattle at Kansas City was the fiercest thing of the kind ever seen in the west and was stopped by the police after two hours and fifteen minutes of fierce, | eruelling work. Neither man secured a fall. It was announced at the end of tivo hours that Dr. Roller was willing to call the match a draw. Zbyszko, however, refused the terms and the bout_continued until the police inter- fered. It started to be rough from the opening. The two giants seemed to be exactly on ‘even terms. They were vindjctive and agsressive. Both were_exhausted at ‘the close of the two hours, when the wrestling match had almost the appearance of a cave- man’s combat, and was brutally stren- uous. Shakespeare Against Mystic Man. Frank MacKervey (Shakespeare) of Boston, the one-hand pool champlon, is d&led to exhibit next Saturday at the Cosmopolitan club, having for his opponent Herbert Gledhill, one of the club members. The conditions are as usual in Shakespeare’s matches, his opponent to make 150 using both hands while he has to pocket 100 with one hand. Mr. Gledhill is a fast player, but the committee that engaged Shakespeare may have McGrath, the 38% | amateur champion of the state, instead, States Steel was under some early | — pressure in connection with the re- ports of yielding prices for iron under the active competition of producers to ; secure orders.

Let us o ay back in the old days. There was Tom Pratt, Dick McBride, Martin, Jlm Creighton, Arthur Cummings, Bobby Mathews and Al Spalding, all first men. Spalding pitched for five seasons in Boston, and in four of those seasons led his club into the pennant, and the other year made a vfi close race of it for first place. He had speed and he had command, He knew how to use his head and fool his opponent. McBride was another man who could outwit those to whom he was opposed. Mathews was a foxy pitcher and so was Arthur Cummings, the discoverer of the curve ball. I was present at the game between the Excelsiors and the Unions of Morrisiana at which Jim Creighton injured himself. He did it in hitting out a home run. When he had crossed the rubber he turned to George Flanley and said, “I must have snapped my belt,” and George said, “T guess not.” It turned out that he had suffered a fatal injury. Nothing could be done for him and baseball met with a most severe loss. He had wonderful speed, and, with it, splendid command, He was fairly unhittable. Then there were such pitchers as Jimmy Galvin, who was sixteen years in the game Tom Bond, Dave Foutz, Bob Caru Charley Buffinton, Charley Ferguson, Matt Kilroy, Ramsay, Mickey Welch, and, to get down to modern times, Charley Nichols, Rube ‘Wadadell, big Cy Young, Phillippe, Joe McGinnity, Amos mme, Christy M thewson, Mullin and mnovan of De- troit, Walter Johulon. ap Rucker of the Brooklyn club, Mordecal Brown, Ed Walsh, Jack Chesbro, Jess Tanne- hill, Eddié Plank and Chief Bende Now, mind you. I am not underta ing to mention all the crack pitchers that ever lived—just those who occur to me, Of these, I never knew one who was a bit better than Charley Radbourn, a man who would go in the box day in and day out and work un- der any and all conditions, who would pitch when men of the present day would shrink from the undertaking. Rad would go in the box when his arm was so lame that he could not lift it as high as his head when he started to warm up; vyet he would keep at it and pitch a game his oppon- ents could not fathom. He was a very strong man, full of pluck, and used splendid judgment in his pitching. That was a great team that he had behind him—Joe Start, John Farrell and Jerry Denney on the bases, with John Ward at shortstop, when Rad was pitching. and Arthur Irwin at short with Ward in _the box, and Tommy York, Paul Hines and CIliff Carroll in the outfield. Behind the bat there were Barney Gilligan and Vincent Nava. The Providence team was the bqst balanced team of fits day. The men could hit and they gave Rad great support. It was due to the splendid confidence the men had in each other that they achieved wonder- ful results. Now, no one was in the class with Jerry Denney on third, He was ambidextrous and could play with either hand. Rad was about as capa- ble with his left as he was with his right and was a_wonderful fielder. He liked to go on the fleld and warm up with the boys, and would go in the infield or the outfield—it mattered not to him—anywhere where there was an opening—he loved the game so well. Rad could hit a little bit. too, and so could Ward, and rarely has any cluh had such a pair of hitting pitchers. These. two were in the memorable game of el:hteen lnnlnn, played in Providence in gust, 1882, when Ward pitched and Badbd\.lm played in the outfield and won the game with a home run hit. That game is still di cussed by fans, and there is a diver- sity of opinion as to who was in the box. Remember, the pitching dis- tance those davs was 45 feet. The hitting was better than it is today, the ball was livelier and harder, therefore, to handle. The batsmen of today have more time to gauge the ball than the players had in those days, Ferguson of the Phillies, who died in the zenith of his career, was an- other splendid ballplayer, who could doubtless play every position better than any other one man ever could. He was also a very fine batsman and a speedy chap on the bases. Charles Nichols, who served the Boston National league club during his entire career, was another won- der. He had remarkable command and speed, and was comparatively young when he reth He did not begin to last nearly as long as that other master of the pitching delivery, Denton Young, familiarly known as “Cy,” who was such a pewer in the Cleveland and St. Loul ‘ational league clubs, and did more than any one man to make the Boston American league club a success, No man ever had better command of the ball than did_this pitcher. Her certainly is a model ball player, just as modest as he is skilful. Then who will ever forget that pair of Mutrie’s Glants—men who helped secure that title—Tim Keefe and Mickey Welch?—both . alive today: ‘Welch in Holyoke, along with that crack first baseman, Tommy Tucker, and Tim Keefe in the city he has made his home s0 many years—Cambridge. I last met Keefe at the bier of one of the finest pitchers of all days—John G. Clarkson, that graceful and wonder- ful pitcher. Then, New York had in Amos Rusie one of the best drawing cards that ev- er wore a uniform. This player was worth $25,000 a season to the New York _ciub. en it was announced that he would pitch, the Polo grounds would be packed., Many maintain that he had more spéed than anyone who ever delivered a ball. Certainly he was a terror to the heaviest batsmen. Of the pitchers of today Mathew- son seems to have the preference with the lovers of the game and is the idol of New York rooters. With such a club as Chicago behind him he would be fairly invincible. He has not the safe 8 per cent. investment with a (until _disposed of). are at my office for your TELEPHONE 890.

I know of but one ballplayer upon 'whom I firmly belleve the burden of opinion will rest as the best ballplayer ever produced, and that man is John Henry Wagner—“Honus,” as he Is known. He certainly is the best card, and is strong in every particular, He is a wonderful batsman, base runner amd flelder. He makes easy work of the most difficult plays, and he would cer- tainly excel in any position to which he were assigned—whether in the out- field or the infield. Wagner s fairly in a class by himself. Others have shone for a while. then lost their glory, but ‘Wagner shines forever. Windham A. C. Opposes Private Bouts A number of offers from different rties have been advanced to the indham Athletic club to put on a private bout or two. One was urgently requested for Saturday evening of this week. The contest committee, after thorough and careful consideration of the various offers, voted that no pri- vate bouts would be given-in the club rooms this season. « The club is well established at the present time and private bouts are attractions that will at best, if run properly, be severely criticized, and the desire of those hav- ing the welfare of the organization at heart is to have only such contests that are on “the level and within the strict limitations of the law. Ab. Agita Abe the Newsboy called at The Bul- letin office Wednesday night to say i word or two for the benefit of Biil Collins. Abe is agitated because Col- lins is claiming a considerable margin in their recent boxing go at Westerly, and Abe would have it understood that he was not trying to glve anything but an exhibition go that night. If Col- lins wants a go, where the knockout stuff can be exchanged, Abe says it can be arranged without difficulty as far as he is concerned. Sergeant Walsh On His Way. Sergeant John Walsh, the soldier pee destrian, reached New london on Wednesday. After a visit at the t- office and to Fort Trumbull he left for New Haven in the afternoon. Hayes Sure He Can Win. Johnny Hayes, the Marathon run- ner, who has been in the far west all winter, has arrived in the east and will sfart in the Marathon Derby at the Polo grounds on April 2. Hay wants to bet $1,000 he can beat Ljung- strom or Johanson over the full Mara- thon distance, and he will probably be accepted. BASEBALL BRIEFS. Knabe, Ward and Walsh are having a warm race for the position of Eecond baseman for the Phillies. et handed pitchers as a rule make d_batsmen when played in other positions than the battery wcrk. Re- member Van Haltren ~and Elmer Smith? Billy Maloney, the old Brooklyn outfielder, is a_drummer. He did not stomach his sale to the Rochester club and took to selling goods.—Boston Herald. Clarke Griffith means to shunt one of his outfielders to another position this season on the theory that he will be a better batter if he does not play a sunfleld. The Browns are so desperately In need of a catcher than O'Connor s trying to make one out of Griggs. The Texan is a good hitter and fielder, but catching is a hard proposition. Bill Dahlen is showing his recruits a lot of tactics and snappy plays. Can he show them his wonderful secret of lasting nineteen years without ever getting up a good perspiratio Little Cree declares that no young- ster can crowd him off the Highland outfleld. The chunky fellow s a good and capable ball player and it will tak @ wonderful juvenile to displace him.

This small but capable perform would strengthen half a dozen big league teams right now.—Washington Star. The danger zone follows Horace gel around on a baseball training trip. Tast year he got mixed up with a bi cycle in New Orleans and ended up in a hospital. This year a lightning bolt pretty nearly put kimself and his team out of business. According to many old timers, the largest number of errors ever made on one chance came off one afternoon when Mike Grady tried to play third. He fumbled a grounder, threw it wild over first, muffed the throw back and threw over the catcher. This was go- ing some. Frank Chance ls not putting his best tea magainst Cleveland in the series in New Orleans. For instance, on Monday, when Cleveland won, 4 to every man on the team except Hofman, Zimmerman and Archer was a new re- cruit, while, aside from the pitchers, the Naps presented their strongest lineup.
