New Haven, Conn., Feb. 21.—Tt was Bnnounced tonight that the Yale swim- ining team, intercollegiate champions of the east, will invade the west during the Baster vacation and compete with the swimmers of Northwesiern uni- Estate Agent, ‘The Shore Line Bowling league, com- posed of teams from Westerly, Pawca- tuck, Stonington and Mystic finished fts schedule of 36 games on Thi evening, with games in Mys and Btonington. The test was close from to_end, as is shown by the result, the Arion club of > ington winning by a narrow margin of 14 pins for the entire season’s rolling. Up to the last night’s bowling the Ston- ington club held a lead of 104 pins, but the Pawcatucks came in strong at the end and just missed nosing out,a victory. Stonington’s, total pinfall is 28,241, and Pawcatuck’s 28,227. ‘While the Stonington and Pawcatuck fives_have been fighting for the lead, the Mystic and Westerly teams have been struggling to keep out of the cel- lar position. Two weeks ago the West- erly team iook a commanding lead of over 300 pins on Mystie, but a slump a week ago cost nearly every pin of the Jead, and Thursday night they were unable to stand the ground, so that th’ teams now line up in the flnal standing Stonington, Pawcatuck, Mys- tic and Westerly. Mystic defeated Westerly for third honors by 23 pins. The difference of total pinfail between the leading team and the last five'is 1,480. The two Westerly teams were handicapped dur- ing the tournament to some extent by their alleys heing destroyed by fire in. January, and but for the courtesy of the Mystic and Ston on clubs in offering their alleys to the Pawcatuck and Westerly teams the schedule would not have been completed. Although the Westerly team finish- ed in last place, four out of six honors went to members of that club. The team rolled 2574, which was the best three string team total of the contest, and this included a single team total of 904, which was also high. The high individual average went to Herbert P. Clark on the Westerly team with 170, and he also rolled the best three string irdividual total of 578. Conrad Schultz of the Stonington team finished second/ high man with an average of 168, and Pampel of the Stonington club’ was the third highest bowler, leading Chapman of the Paw- catuck five, who finished fourth by a fraction of 2 point over 164 The Pawcatuck team as a whole was the ‘most even bowling club, four. of the players being over the 180 mark. Six of the 20 bowlers finished with an av- eage of 160 or better, and 14 over the 150 mark. The Shore Line league will be offi- cially clesed next Thursday evening with a supper at the Stonington club rooms. 2 2 ‘The individua] averages, follow: Games. Pinfall.

Pitchers Trying for Place on Majo: League Staffs Often Try to Show * Prowess Too Early. ‘When the major. league baseball teams get to work down south in a few days much will be read by the fans regarding the showing e by the youns players as flelders, batsmen and base runners. The lads who hit a straight ball over the fence for a homme run or who pull down a fly ball after a hard run will get their_names in the headlines. The plays look good and as ng one can tell whether or not: the youngsiers could do the same things in championship games they are given full credit by the war corre- spondents for their feats. Little, though, will be heard for a time about another class of players. These men are the yvoung twirlers who have been gathered #chools, colleges, minor leagues and town lots. While the in- fielders and outflelders “will be speed- ing up their plays in the hope of catching the eyes of their manager, the juvenile twirlers-will be “under wraps.” They are just as anxious to “cut loose” 'as the candidates for other places on the team, but the veteran catchers who are looking after their welfare will not permit it. Occasional- Iy a lad is se anxious to display his groess. fnat he will disobey orders uring the first week or ten days of practice, saye an exchange. His am- Dition to strike out some star slugger like Baker or a Magee is 50 keen that he will suddenly cut loose with all of his speed or with a curve ball. Such tactics always arouse the ire of the maneger or his coach, who has the pawticular pitcher in tow, and a sharp call-down follows. Kid Gleason, when assistant to Billy Murray as manager of the Phillies, has threatened to thrash more than one youngster who disobeyed the orders to pitch only straight balls and not to attempt to use speed. The desire to show off, though, is usually so keen among the juventiles that they cannot help cutting loose. Many of them, anxious to malke good in the fast set, have worked out- doors for some time before going south. They want their relatives and friends at home to hear of their good work, and they take chances of get- ting 'a call-down, too, in order to make an impression. THE Bransfield had seen in months. Ordi- narily such a ball would have been peaches and cream for him. With only & few days of practice, Kitty was as | startled as if he had seen a ghost. It was such a good joke that Troy es- caped getting a call-down. There is not a team in the country that has so many first class pitchers that a mana- ger is not constantly on the watch for more of them. The pitching staff 1s | the keystone of a club. For this rea- | Hahn ran several professional races after quitting the amateur ranks, but he was never able to get hold of a man that was fast enough to give him a hard-race. He says he found very few sprinters who could do better than 10 1-5. He finally gave up run- ning and went into coaching, although+ -always conditioned - himself | Hahn | he has while training his track men. can do 10 seconds today with a little work. It is this habit which keeps the reg- ulars on a team on the anxious bench. They have not had a chance of having their eyes sharpened and they are just as wary of speed and curves at the start as any person could be. -Belng tunked” on the arm, body or head is not a sensatfon that any ball tosser enjoys. One day down at Southern Pines Kitty Bransfleld was with the Phillies and a human flagstaff named Troy was pitching. Troy stood - six feet five inches high, and he had made a reputation by striking out bunches of players in games in the coal re- gions. He had gone along and follow- ed instructions falthfully for eeveral days. Bransfield stepped to the plate and was not as watchful as usual, because Troy had never shown any sign of not keeping close to the orders. To the surprise of the crowd, Troy cut 6ose with a regular “roundhouse urve,” one of those outshoots which starts to curve half way to the plate and keeps on describing an are until it gets to the catcher. Bransfield was all set to “whack a straight ball over the left fielder's head. Kitty saw the ball start to curve, his bat dropped by his side, and in trying to dodge out -of the'road he tripped over his own feet and fell on his back. son every team leader hopes to dig up a “phenom” in the spring. These youngsiers are handled liké so much Dresden china on a training trip until the manager or catchers have an op- rtunity to size them up. Some of them, it is soon discovered, have got the 'brain capacity to make big leaguers. Others are so confident that _they know it all that they will nof> profit by g'le advice given them. SCHICK GIVEN BIG BOOST. Archie Hahn Talks of Famous Sprint- | ers He Has Seen in Action. Archie Hahn, Whitman college ath- letic coach, ,who has met and de- feated some bf the best amateur and professional seprinters - in the world in the last 15 years, says that Schick, of Harvard, was the fastest man he ever met. Hahn says Schick could start like lightning, and that, once | under way, his long stride invariably carried him over a winner. Hahn first met BSchick at Pennsylvania in 1908, after having beaten practically every college man in the west. Schick was at his best then, and he beat the great Michigan sprinter to the tap by NARROW MOVEMENT. Trading Dull With Speculative Sent ment Bearish. New York, Feb. 21.—There wers a few weak srots in the stock market today, but the general movement was narrow and trading was dull.

There was no inducement for operating on the long side and the result was that trading fell bff to nominal proportions at times and price movements of the majority of the important stocks were hardly worth recording. Southern Pacific breke below par for the firét time since 1908. Large amounts of the stock changed hands around par, but eventually the price yielded from its recent level and sold down as low as 99. Southern Pacific has been the object of steady bear at- tacks since the terms of the Harriman dissolution were ‘made known., Publi- cation of the annual report, showing smaller earnings for the last fiscal year, furnished an ostensible reason for further selling, although the road's earnings for the period had long been known. Another reason suggested for the heaviness of this stock was that members of the underwriting syndicate were going short to guard against pos- sible losses cn their allotments. Liquidation of inactive stocks con- tinued, although the effect upon the general list was negligible. Weakness of low priced railroad stocks was a feature of the dealings. Erie sold at 28 1-4, the bottom price since 1911. Southern, Wabash, Wheeling and Lake Erfe and Lake Erle and Western also Were heavy. The petroleum stocks dropped abruptly. The weel’s liquidation of stocks was reflected in the way of a loan contrac- tion in the bank statement, which ap- peared today, since tomorrow is a holidaw. Loans were scaled down over $29,000,000 and, although there was an actual cash loss of $4,300,000, the sur- onéga reserve was increased by $4,226,- The downward tendency in the bond market continued today.

He was then credited with a record of 9 4-5 in the 100 and 1-2 in the 220, but he only ran second to men | in the 100 meters in 11. After 1905 | all * the good men went. back and | Cartmell had the amateur field to him- self.” In the Olympic games at St. Louis that year Hahn won the 60, 100 and 200 meters in handy fashion. He beat Cartmell five yards in the 200 meters, although that wa$ Cartmell's favorite | distance. Hahn says that Billy aEton of the Boston athletic club was the |fastest starter he ever met. Eaton was a smaller man than Hahn, al- though Hahn is but five feet five inch- {es tall, but he always tired at the % | finish. Hahn was al§ays a slow start- er, and the best part of the sprints for hin was the last 200 yards. Even in the 220 Hahn always finished strong. Hahn first donned the spiked shoes back in 1896, when he was a freshman in the Portage high school, and since that time he has competed in- various countries. He entered Michigan from Portage high in 1901 with a record of 10 seconds and he immediately proved his worth by taking the western con-. ference from Bell of lllinois in even time. In 1802 he duplicated the per- formance, beating Blair to the tape. In 1908 Hahn lowered the world’s rec- ord for a curved track by doing the 220 at the conference in 3-5. That vear he also took the Canadian and American championships in the 100 and 220.
