Business Manager John Waish is to attend,to represent the Norwich Free Acadeimy. It is understood here that Bulkeley school baseball authorities are taking the initiative in the proposal to form a high school league for Eastern Con- necticut, this plan- having originated since’ Morgan school of Clinton and Westerly High school withdrew from the eastern division of the state league, leaving but two or three schools to make up the division for 1911. There are schools enough in this territory to make up & league of per- haps a dozen members, which might include Norwich Free Academy, Bulk- eley and Manual Training of New London, Blackhall, schoo). Morgan school of Clinton, Windha:. High of Willimantic, Putnam_High, Killingly High of Danelson Plainfield = Hish Stonigton High, Westerly High, \ possibly Bacon Academy of e These may not .all be invited by the promoters to becoma members of the new league, or if invited look with favor on the proposition, but there'are enough high schools in this part of the state to constitute a strong and lively organization when the delegates get together in New Lofdon on Sat- urday. WILBUR SMITH’S MOVE NEXT. Forfeit of $50 Posted by Backers of Cartor Collins for Race with New London Marath: In response to a recent challenge from Wilbur Smith of New London to race Carter Collins of New Haven over tation of seelig a sterling contest ter's brother, Johm C. Collins, Jr. posted a $50 forfeit Thursday evening with_ the Sporting Editor of the Bul- letin for his man to meet Sniith on either February 18 or February 22 for any purse from $100 to $200, winner to take all. Carter's backer ~stipulated that his forfeit would stay up untll February 9 to give Smith plenty of chance to cover i, but if not covered on or before then would be withdrawn. Another condition was that the race should be run in Norwich, and it weather conditions _should compel & postponement, it shéuld be postponed till after the middle of March. Collins stated - that the Norwich men in the management of ‘the race would probably try to put it on at the New London county fair grounds. Smith issued his challenge, Collins has met it by posting his forfelt, leav- ing it now Smith’s move to bind the race.

KANSAS CITY CYCLONE ' _IN SLOW FIGHT. Ten Poor Rounds with Johnny Marto of New York. New York, Feb. 2.—The ten round fight between Johnny Marto of New York and Phil Knight, the “Kansas City Cyclone,” at the National Suort- ing Club of America tonight was tame throughout. Marto did all the work and the “cyclone” covered up in every round except the eighth, when he swung and rushed Marto, The latter closed both Knight's eyes by the end of the bout. There were no knock- downs, but in a clinch in the tenth Marto fell through the ropes. JACK MONTY FLOPS CONNELL : IN STRAIGHT FALLS. Lively Wrestling Bouts Before Baltic A. C.—Future Bouts Arranged. The Baltic Athletio club huns up 2 card of two wrestling bouts in the club’s gymnasium on Thursday even- ing.

GRANT, Undertaker and Embalmer 32 Previdesce SL., Taltviii: | Haven, such a constant shifting of position s to make it appear that the course f prices was subject to the caprice of professional traders, rather than to any broad and definite influence. Aft- er a mixed opening the market de- veloped signs of heaviness, doubtless due to realizing males, as well as to lack .of demand from short interests, which covered extensively on the re- cent rise. In the afternoon trading the market grew stronger, but any ‘ambitious attempts at bull operations encountered effective resistence. The growing spirit of confidence which served to prevent any marked set- backs in the day’s diverse movements and at the close quotations compared favorably with last night’s higher lev- ¢ Among the railroads which hav overshadowed the remainder of thi list of late, movements were mixed, the Hill issues were under pressure throughout the morning, and Northern Pacific, which some of the traders con- cluded had advanced far enough was set back two points, only to recover part of its loss later. The Harriman stocks did little in the early hours but later a strong buying_movement sent them up materially. Reading crossed 160 in response to & steady demand which was said to eo ely from Philadelphia and Lehigh Valley atter & number of contradictory movements, grew firm at &_good advance. Some of the best advances of the day were recorded by low priced speci- ties which usually are regarded as the favorite vehioles of pool movements. American Car anq Koundry, Distil- lers securities and Central Leather were especially strong. United States Steel maintained its prominent pos- #ition, advancing to & new high level, for the present movement. More ma- ture comsideration of the Harriman improvement prospects heartened steel makers, who estimated the amount of steel fails which will be required st hetween 225,000 and 260,000 tons. Con tinued strength marked the day's transactions in the copper group, in which the effect of better trade re- ports is belng felt. Large export sales and a better inquiry at home and abroad were reported today. The statement of the gutput of one of the largest copper pi lucing companies shows marked increase in output com pared with the previous two months, On this basis the January statement of. the Producers’ association, which will bo- {ssued shortly, is ngt likely to strengthen the statistical position of that industry. The relatively stronger position of the rallroads of the country is reflect- ed in combined statistics of 13 sya- tems. for December, which show an increase in net earnings of $12,590,000 or 7.9 per cent. = December reports of & number of roads were.feceived today. and tended to- confirm the be- ! lief that the eastern lnes are faring Chandeliors, Yaoht Trimmings | less fortunately than those in -’ the west..

First-Class Article Required at Key-'| stone_Position to Produce a Cham- pion Team. “All the great second basemen of baseball have played with winning clubs,” said a veteran fan the other day, “which proves beyond doubt that no ball team can hope to win pennants or even make a good showing in the championship race unless it has an artist of the first magnitude at the keystone | osition. Eddie Collins, the | best second baseman in the game, cov- ers the bag for the world’s champion Athletics, n.nd his greatest rival for the second base honors, Johnny Evers, looks after the middle cushion for the Chicago National league champions Miller Huggins is the cleverest, crati- est and most finished workman of all the other second sackers, and that's why I predict a first division berth for the Cardinals this year. “McGraw's men figure to win the Nationa! league pennant this year, and if they do I'll just venture a prediction that Christy Mathewson and Second Baseman Larry Doyle will have more to do with turning.the trick for New York than any other men on the team. “Detroit had Dutch Schaefer, one of the smartest players in the game, at second when the Tigers were winning s0 many Aemrican league flags. John- ny Miller, the middle cushion man of the Pittsburg champions of 1909, play- ed pretty nifty ball for Clarke that year, Claude Ritchey was the seconl baseman of the old Pittsburg. cham- pions. _Billy Gilbert, one of the quick- est thinkers that ever wore a uniform, | dld the hegvy work at second base .fo: Jotnny McGraw’s New York worl champlons. Link Lowe and Joe Quinn, two mighty clever players, covered second for the Boston champions. Bal- | timore never had a real star at second, but the Orioles had men lfke McGraw, Jennings and Jack Doyle playing in their infield, and could stand a weak brother at second. “Fred Pfeffer of the old Chicago | White Siockings. Yank Robinson of the old St. Louis Browns, Fred Dunlap of the Detroit champlons, and Dan Richardson of the New York cham- pions of 1388, are some time second base stars. Dunlap are dead. Lajoie s a great mechanic in the field, and one of the greatest hitters the game ever pro- duced, but he's not to be classed with Evers, Huggins and Collins, any one of whom is capable of runni a ball club. Lajoie is a big, €ood natured fel- low, who was touted to win three or four pennants with the strong Cleve- 1and club, and finally had to retire as manager in favor of MecGuire. Larry knew he was out of place managing | o team, and finally realized that it Teally handicapped his individual play- ing. New Londen and Meriden An: 8.
