Last. 1 7 1 bt 1 1 7 2 GAMES TODAY. New London at Middletown. In two innings at Sachem park on Wednesday afternoon the Norwich team fell on Pitcher Doyle of Willi- mantic, finally putting him to the woods in the seveath when the whole Willimantic team accompanied him in an airship flight while five Norwich runners were crossing the pan. Against Willimantic Lefty Bill Smith was back in the box for Norwich the first time since his injury last week, but he was as murderous as ever to the hopes of the visiting sluggers and only three pushed out safe hits. None of them affected the run column. The best that Willimantic could do in the scor- ing line was to accept one run as a gift which was handed to them, mak- ing the score Norwich 8, Willimantic 1. Wallace worked the last inning for Willimantic. Mayor Dunn accompanied his team from Willimantic and brought down a mew man for first, old Bob Drew, guar- dian of the bag for New London for a number of years in the state league. Bob was a trifle off his game, letting two balls get away from him at first, and also being called out for going down to second without the formalit of touching first after a sacrifice fly had been caught. Said sacrifice fly was from Manley's bat to Noonan, scorin, Petrick with Willimantic's only run.

SPECULATIVE HESITATION Due to Views Over the Railroad Rate Settlement. June 8.—Some specu reflected in the action of today’s stock market, partly due to the rapidity of the advance of the day before and partly to the consensus of opinion over the opinion created b: the railroad rate settlement. The con-— trary views expressed by railroad e ecutives themsclves were responsible for the gpinion. espécially the an- nouncemént by President Brown of th. New York Central that work calling for $5,000.000 expenditure and orders for freight cars, which had been held up as a result of the rate injunction, would be resumed, in contrast with the assertion of President Ripley of the Atchison that his company would not depart in any degree from the policy of retrenchment decided upon after the action of the government against the rate advances. London joined in a substantial way in the early selling brought about by these conditions. The heavy selling of St. Paul and the discouraged feeling expressed in a published interview with a capitalist prominent in that party were corrob- orative of the conviction that a diver- gence of opinion existed between prom- inent groups in the financial world. Much attention was given to the question of railroad earnings as they would be affected by the postponement of rate advances. That the advances would ultimately become effective was the assumption. Railroad earnings for March are the latest for which com- prehensive relations have been Te- celved by the commerce commission from 98 per cent. of the total mileage of the country. The increase in gross earnings in that month over March of last year were shown to be $37.456,000, or 15.4 per cent.. and in net $5,000,000, |l or 11.62 per cent. The May statistics of the Copper Producers’ association offered little ground for encouragement, the month’s production having been the largest, with the exception of October of last vear, for any month since the associa- tion was formed, deliveries meantime having remained stable at about the level of the last three months, with the result of another addition of 1,- 441,814 pounds to the surplus stocks of the metal. Quotations for copper were lower both in London and New York. Selling of the metal industrials, especially Amalgamated Copper, was a feature of the late backset in stocks. yhich closed prices generally at amall declines. Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value, $2,081,000. T'nited States twos registered advanced 1-8 per cent. on call. STOCKS.

While local fans dislike to see any player injured, there is not much sym- pathy felt here for young Roger Con- nor, “since the bat throwing incident in the last New London game here. Roger is evidently a dirty ball player, and is due for a lesson unless he changes his tactics, says the Middle- ton Sun. That umpire row with Maisack is al- so remembered to the discredit of young Connor. Morning Game at Willimantic. An agreement has Dbeen made be- tween New London and Willimantic to play one of their league games at Willimantic on Saturday morning. It is a game scheduled for later in the season and is moved forward to try the experiment of 2 morning game. Denny Hayes a Good Sport. We like a sport like Denny Hayes, who, when things don't break good. don't cry about it. We also like fans like our own, who will turn out when the team is in a slump, and leave their hammers at home.—Middletown Sun. BEST PLAYERS MEET Holden of Yale Keeps up Winning Gait at N. E. Tennis Tourney. Hartford, June §.—Today’s games in the New England championship ten- nis tournament brought some of the best players together. Holden of Yale maintained his pace in_the singles by defeating Peaseley of Yale, and_Pike of Springfield, while Terry of Hart- ford, the former champion, was re- tired from the singles in the third round by Wadsworth of Yale. In the doubles, T. R, Pell of New York, the cup holder. was seen in action for the first time with F. C. Baggs of New York, who easily disposed of their op- ponents in straight sets. Despite the high winds, the play was extremely good and was witnessed by a large gallery. As all the games were played in the afternoon it was dusk before the contest ended. BAD BOUND BEAT YALE. Coy Pitched a Nice Game—Score Eyr- acuse 3, Yale 1. New Javen, June 8.—A bad bound in the fifth inning lost Yale the game with Syracuse here today, 3 to 1. Coy had been pitching a great game. and it Jooked like an easy grounder for Merritt, but it bounded and Power was safe, Nash taking second. Kling sin- gled, Scully and Holmes were given hascs on balls and Hand single, net- ting three runs and winning the game. Yale's only run was made in the third when Logan made a two_base hit and came in on a single by Murphy. The batting of Stevens and Murphy were features and the fielding of Schoepflin of Syracuse. Jefiries Draws Blood on Armstrong. Ben Lomond, Cal, June 8—Three fast rounds with Bob Armstrong, in which Jeffries drew blood ’rum his colored sparring partner for‘the first time since training began at Ben Lo- mond, constituted the principal feature of a comparatively quiet day. Jeffries was faster than usgal and countering heavily on the negro’s mouth made the blood flow freely. Jeffries and Corbett did not box, but will probably don the gloves tomor- row for the outdoor boxing platform that was completed late this evening. All of today’'s work was done in the morning. Jeffries this afternoon reiterated his statement that no difficulty had aris- en between himself and \I.mn‘er Ber- ger.

Lange has been miss- ing from the game for cleven years. This is a long time as the years are reckoned in baseball, but Lange isn't forgotten, nor will he ever be by t nim fortunate enough to have seen play. Today Lange !s only 38—there are players in the big leagues as old or even older—but his glory belongs in the archives of the past, and he scems, 40 the fan of the present epoch, as far away as Kelly, Ewing and Pete Brown- ing. Lange, unlike most baseball idols, quit the diamond while still young— while he was still a big, burly boy. Lange had made some reputation on the coast, and before he was quite 22 was called to join the old Chicagos. He began the season of 1893 wit reputation of being a great batsm ither back of the Anson put him and able to play in the outer gardens. left field, angd left fieid on the Chi- cago grounds is 108t an annex o the inferno, wt any place for young player, f the un beats into | the neld ayes with a force tl blinding, nd enly a vete guarded, know Z eve of ing the eyes from the can pla t suburh. Lange plaved it poorly, of course, and the populace jeered might- ily. The papers roasted mockingly. Jim Hart and Cap Anson declared thrat Lange was all right. They insist- | ed on keeping him at ind In a few weeks began to play him as a sore of everyday utility man. Big Bill was in the game every afternoon, but was playing every old position. He worked that first season on first, sccond, third short and the three field jobs, and was put back of the plate in a couple of On his first afternoon behind the bat it was fun to see what hap- pened to the speedy runners. They fig- ured that Lange was a cinch to steal on, and when the ball whizzed down & block ahead of them, they thought it was an accident until the big fellow had nailed about four of them. Then they ceased stealing and watched the big boy work. Lanuge evas a success as & cateher, but as the team had Kit tredge and Donahiie, he was sent bac te center field, and through the rest of his carcer remiained there, As Lange grew older in the gume Le lesrned the big league pages like light ring. and by the outset of hix second season had blossomed into Tull-fledged major. It takes some players two ¢ three years to become ac-ustomed t the angles of that company. Lange was 8t heme by the stare of the second campaignand as jovially self-confident ag if he had been in the game a dozen years. And with that second season began Bill Lange's real story as a star ““a star and a baseball idol to be re- membered as long as men sl play the zame Lange became & great batsman. He wag a crashing, smashing Litter, not one of the dainty tappers who pelt the ball with parior grace and say that “saving extra step toward first” makes them so good. Lange was one of the Anson-Brouth- ers-Browning school when it came to hitting that leather, and he hit it just about as hard as.they. He didn’t favor any special place for hiting them, eith- er, but could pull them to any corgner while they went. like Dullets, raost - pleasant to the touch and most contra- Ty in thelr behavior, Bill could hit almost any type of pitching, right or left handed, curved or fast ball, and dian’t seem to have either any prefer- ence or any .aversion.

It geemed hard to believe that any man 50 huge as Lange—who was about the ze of Jumes J.

He decided to “beat it while his shoes were good,” and to quit the great pas- time before the hand of age should slow him up.

The High landers hit the elghth peg in 1908, which was the year Norman Elberfeld got over the idea that he was a Peer- loss leader. Even more remarkable than New York’'s record in having only three tail end teams is that of Chicago. Only once has the Windy city been misrep- resented by a tali-end outfit. This happened in 1877, and the Iilini would not have been the cellar champs only the Cincinpati club failed to pay its National league dues and its games were thrown out.
