Up to. date_this seasen in five games they have scored 245 points to their opponents’ 60, as follows: C./L. L. 74, Springfield Bus. 8. C!I L. L 33, Smith Aggles 18. C. L. I 43, Glastenbury High 18. C. L. L 53, Gilbert school of Win- sted ¢ (afternoon game); C. L. I 40, Greenfield High 10 (evening of same day). . On a comparison of scores, the Con- mecticut Literarys leem up like the strongest prep. team in this section. Greenfield fell before Springfietd 21 to 20, Westfield beat Springfield 20 to 18, and the Lits. smothered Greenfield 40 to 10. This meams fast going for the Windham |-igh school team when the Lits. come there for a game this afternoon. Eastern Conmecticut beys play an important part in_the makeup of the five, as Captain Brunsden is from Sterling, Brooks from Dayville, Deni- son from Moosup. Captain Brunsdon and heady is a fast, hard, player, who has the full confidence of his men, and is there- fore a fitting leader. He plays left guard, comes from Sterline and was a member of Killingly High's team for four years. This is second year on C. L. I, at guard. Second is Belfit, the speedy right forward, an Al shot, and always work- ing for his scheol. He hails from Win- sted and this is his third year on the C. L. L team. Next comes Brooks, left forward. a sure shot and great team player. FHe was a Killingly High star of great ability, and has more than made zoed in his first year at C. L. I. He hails from Dayville. and was well known as a baseball player. Denison, the center, plaved at right guward last year, but is making goed with a vengeance at center. He claims Moosup as his home. Rau, the right guard, is a native of South Manchester, and is displaying fine form for a new man. The list of sudsfitutes includes Or- cutt, McHaffy, Stiles, Croft and Tut- tle. 2. Clifford M. Granger of Feeding Hills, Mass., a graduate of Brown, fs coach, and his work stamps him as O. K. Herold Wooster of Northfield is the efficient manager. GAINED A LAP IN FIRST HOUR.

Duliness Followed First Hour of Trad- ing—Market Closed Firm. New York, Jan. 13.—The course ef today’s market sent prices upward to a material degree, and there was a nearer approach to genuine support than has been seen on any recent day. In the absence of favorable develop- ments there was a disposition to at- tribute the sustained strength to & broadening of the demand. No evi- dences of outsie support developed, however, and the duliness which fol- lew:a the first hour of trading indi- cated that the market was still a nar- now ene. It clesed firm. Reading was the feature and more than recoyered its semi-annual 3 per cent. dividend. United BStates Steel was extensively traded im from the outsot at steadily advancing prices,and Canadian Pacific regis @ further very substantial gain, with detterment in such of its allied properties as BAin- neapoiis, St. Pon] and ulte Ste Ma- rie and Wisgonsin Centra! Another feature of she day was the strength of the Could stocks, led by ®issouri Pacific. Undoubtedly the better tone of this group has its genesis in the be- lief that the Gould family will ere long retire from active management, and that succession will rest with other powerful jnterests, who are known to have acquired very substantial hold- ings in some of the Gould lines. South- ern Railway shares were again fairly active, and the metal stocks were stronger On probability of heavy cop- per exports. Forecasts of the week's money move- ment peint te an extraol large cash gain by local institutons, some estimates Being as high as $21,000,000. The outcome of the losn account in tomorrow’s statement is more than | sver a matter of speculstion, by reason of the many transfers of money early in the week, incidental to the strength- ening of seme uptown banks. The only news on general trade | conditions dealt with the placing of a large order for equipment by the Pennsylvania reilre and the propos- ed meeting of New England cotton manufacturers to consider curtailment of operations. A further analysis of our ooiton exports proves that the | value of last year's shipments was the greatest i1 the history of the country, exceeding by over $60,000,080 all pre- vious records. Discounts were generadly firmer {abroad, partieularly in London, where ringenc some fear of a mfld st 'y was apprehended. The present situation in YLondon preciudes the likelihood of any immediate reduction in the bank rate. Trading for ILondon account here amounted to the purchase of perhaps 20,000 shares, principally United State! Steel, Union Pacific and Amalgamated Copper. Berlin and Amsterdam were reperted buyers of Baltimore and Ohio and Missouri, Kansas and Texas, re- spectively. Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value, $3,302,000.

These might be slight things in themselves, and yet affect the final result of the whole league race. Then there are or teams which only need one or two good men to make them even favorites for the flag. 4 Chicago, strengthened at all posi- tions, was playing remarkable ball toward the end of last season. and should start with a rush in the spring.

Boston may not show as well next Cleveland has added new blood, and while New York is somewhat of an un certain quantity under its new man- agement many baseball followers be- Iieve that all these teams will be well up in_the running next year. At a rate, it is probable that the Athletics will have a much harder contest ahead of them in 1911 than they had this season. RUSIE THE REAL PITCHER WITH SPEED No Twirler Ever Approached the Ter- rific Delivery of the Great Amos. “There have been fast pitchers by the dozen,” said the Véteran Jimmy Ryan, the other day, “and all 6f them in their time have fired the ball across the rubber with the greatest speed imaginable. “Have you noticed, though. that.just one man is taken as the standard of speed, the one with whom all others are compared? Whenever vou speak of any speed hurler what do you say? ‘Fast’ as _Amos Rusie; got as much speed as Rusie ever had.’ That is how you will always word it, and I think it will be that way forever. *As long as great names are remembered or baseball is the nation’'s game, Rusie will remain on a pedestal as the cham- pion speed man, the one pitcher who could send in the ball faster than any one else that ever lived. When you say ‘fast as Rusic’ you don’t mean it either—you only wish to show that your favorite pitcher is very speedy. There isn't anyone as fast as Rusie, there never was, and perhaps there never again will be. Jords fail, really. to describe the speed with which Rusie sent the ball He was a man of great height, great width, prodigious muscular strength, and the ability to put every ounce of his weight and sinew into the pitch. Coupled with this he had a set of dazzling curves which were manufac- tured with the same effect required to produce the speed. Some men can throw a straight ball with great force, but have to slow up in order to de- velop curves, but Rusie drove in a curved ball with all his tremendous power. “Facing Rusie. to a timid man, was like going info battle must be to an inexperienced _ soldier. . The distance was shorter then. Rusie has the whole box to move around in, instead of be- ing chained fo a slab, and this glant drove the ball at you with the speed of a cannon. It have stood up to all the great pitchers of nearly twenty vears; I have seen scores of them come and go—and none of them in- spired the terror in a batsman’'s heart that was. put there - by -the mighty Rusie.

The fel- lows with the wide curves might fool you into reaching out and missing them, but you weren't reaching out at Rusie—you simply swung at a white sreak as it hurled past. It took a fat, well balanced, heavily built catch- er to hold Rusie, as you can imagine. and the most successful man who ever received his thunderboit delivers was Dick Buc “The convincing proof of Rusie's terrible speed was this: If any other pitcher hit a man, the man limped = moment and- then went to first. If Rusfe hit a man that man retired from the game, went to the hospital and, sometimes_was never again fit to play ball. To be hit by Rusie was worse than to have an ordinary man hit you with a rock. He hit me twice, I think, and all the bumps other pitch- ers ever gave men, didn’t bruise me a ténth as much as these. “Yes, Rusie was the fastest of them all, the greatest in his way, t s, | star he was, and how few there are Wwho can even half approach him!” NOTES. Bob Fitzsimmons,one of the greatest gradirators of modern times, is of tha opinion that Jack Johnson will be ths champion for some time to come. “I haven’t any white man’s hopes for any because it will be a slow job finding a fihter who can defeat Johnson,” says tz. 2 Battling Nelson, who is in Pittsburg this week, is not certain that he can { come back and whip both Moran ana | Wolgast, ‘but he thinks so.

If I can come back, let Wolgast and Moran look out. Tf I can't come back, why, no one will be the wiser.” It has just leaked out that Jack Johuson made an agreement at Reno that after he had a chance to get what money there was in sight be- tween July 4 and January 1, he would accept a challenge from Al Kaufman and box the Californian for the high- est purse offered. Kaufman and his supporters claim that the negro agreed to such an arrangement and that Tex Rickard heard the cham- pion make the statement. ly was to manege the team the fol- Jowing season, and I signed up imme- diately at the salary of $16 a_wdek. As a pitcher for the Arctics I had learned to throw what was termed the ‘roundhowse’ curve. It was a wido curving ball without a and occasionally T used a ball with a little raise to it.

Well, after Billy Arnold offered me that $16 per I started upon my pro- fessional career. I went te Providence to report, and I shall never forget the Teception the newspaper men gave me. I weighed just about 125 pounds, and when the scribes looked me over they shook their heads and went away with mournful expressions on their faces. The next day the papers ail took a shot at me. They said Billy Arnold should be ashamed of himselt for bringing a little consumptive boy into the game. Made Hit Catching Flies. “Billy was a little put out, but he merely told them to wait until they had seen me catch flies. In those days a man’s standing depended largely upon his ability to catch high flies, and there was much fungo batting done. As soon as the high flies were hit in my direction in Providence 1| created @ bettar impression, for 1| could run like a deer and was a sure | catch.

Connecticut Boys on Champion Team. “Providence won the championship that season, and that was the first| pennant winner I ever had anythinz to do with. Strange to say, nearly all of the players on that old team were Connecticut boys. The following sea- son I went to Fall River, where I played all the games, but in 1877 I svent to Réchester. Rochester did not finish the season, and I was sent to Albany, both of those teams being in the New York Stae league, and I re- nained with that team until 1880, when I was sold to the Cleveland club, then of the National league.

For eight years I played on the Detroit club and was its captain for some time. In those times the captain had more duties to perform than he has now.
