Present Natchaug School Building is Roundly Condemned—Sharp Discus- sion Over City Engineer. The Board of Trade and Business Men’s association held one of the most important meetings in its history on Thursday evening. Judge Arnold, the president, was in the chair. On the question of 'wn tax to be votel at the coming special town meeting, Town Traesurer Frank P. Fenton was the first speaker. He thought a five mill {ax would he sufficien. The Board of Trade voted tc favor a & mill tax, with the provision that 1-2 ‘mill should be used towards paying the town’s floating indebtedness of about $45.000. The matter of a new building for the Natchaug school was then _discussed. Principal Harroun spoke of the poor condition of the present builiding as to heating, lighting and ventilation. He favored a new modern 14 room build- ing for 400 pupils. Gen. E. S, Boss, ent of the Amer- jcan Thread company, the town's heaviest taxpayers, said the present schoolhouse was superannuated, a fire- trap and with no proper ventilation. He thought the Board of Trade should not taie a dictatorial attitude, but could express its sentiments in favor of a new and proper school building, Mr. Larrabee and Principal Burr of the Normal school were of the same mind regarding the building. W. C. Norris thought the real issue was to secure more practical men to act on the building committee, and W, B. Knight placed stress on the word “practical,” and he would. eliminate doetors and lawyers. . It was thought $60,000 would be the cost of a suitable building, and the board voted to favor such a measure at the special town meeting next Mon- day evening The sharp discussion of the meeting camt when the proposed amendment to the city charter creating the office of city engineer with a: life tenure of office unless removed for bad be- havior, was reached. Alderman Jackson, being questioned, sald he knew nothing about the meas- ure previous to its coming before the city council. as he was never consulted in advance on matters to come before that body. Mr. Norrisawho brought this matter before the Board of Trade, said that it had passed through the proper legisla- tive committee without the citizens of Willimantic being given mnotice of the hecring. President Arnold stated that the measure was now before the senate, but could be tabled and referreq back to the council for a rehearing. Attorney S. B. Harvey said it was neither a fair nor a just proposition to make it a life job. Mayor Dunn and Corporation Coun- ael Kelly were the only two Williman- tic citizens who appeared before the Jegislative committee. Representative B. Frank Bugbee in vigorous remarks construed this special meeting of the Board of Trade to be a backhanded rap at him, and he wanted the board to come out and fight in the open. He denied knowing anvthing in advance about the legislative hearing on this measure, but he should havé supported it 1n view of the city council’s request. | e was present at the hearing. but did not speak. Town Clerk Fenton did not construe the measure as a life job for the ap- pointee. Mr. Norris was opposed to the life tenure clause, and incidentally expressed his belief in the ccmmission form of government. The .board voted unanimously to ask the city council next Monday evening te request the representatives to mave the measure amended o as to elimin- ate the life tenure office feature, and a committee was appointed to appear at the council meeting and if they re- fuse the board’s request the committee is to appear before the legislative com- mittee on cities and boroughs in sup- port of such a change.

Cham- pionships—Kiviat Wins 600 and 1000 Yards Runs— New York, March 6.—One world record went tumbling, one runner, Abel Kiviat, of the American Irish A C. won both the 600 yard and 1,000 %ed runs, and Hannes Kolehemaintn, the speedy Fign, dropped out of th two mile race at' Madison Square Ga den tonight where the Amateur Ath- letic union held its annual senior in- door - championships. The ndw world’s record was made Ly Patrick J. McDonald, the New York policeman, who won Olympic honors last summer. -McDonald put the 24- pound shot 39 feet 3 1-4 inches, nearly 5 inches more than his old worlds record, made outdoors at Celtic park 1% months ago. Kivjat was the star of the evening. His fdat of romping away with the two | big events carried with it a new Amer- ican record in the 1,000 yard run of | 215 4-5, shortening his_own record of two years ago by 2-5 of a second. An ,hcur later he left at his heels Ted | Meredith, the Olympic winner, by inches only in the 600 yard event, with Halpin of Boston a close-up tnird. Kolehemainen, the Finnish long @ tance runner, trailed a pack of seven runners 11 times around the 10-lap track for little more than half of the two mile run—then he quit. He couldn’t warm up to a short sprint of two miles, apparently. | Harry J. Smith, the 10-mile nation- al champion, went cold, too, a lap ahead of the Finn and dropped out. William J. Kramer, the former cross- country champion for 10 miles, led the fleld and was never headed. He made two miles in 9.15 1-5, 5 seconds behind Bonhag’s American indoor record. The American indoor record was equalled in_the 70 yard high hurdle by James I. Wendell of Wesleyan and by Howard P. Drew, the’ negro sprinter from Springfield, Mass, in the 75 yard dash. A penalty of three yards for break- ing in_ the final of the 300 yard run failed te fedze Fred Burns of Boston, who won, and came within 1-5-0f a second of the American record. Thirty-one athletes who trod the soil of Swedén in the Olympic games were entered on tonight's programme. Most of them competed. . Challenge from Sir Thomas Lipton. New York, March 6.—Sir Thomas Lipton’s challenge for the America's cup_was received by the New York Yacht club today. Secretary Cormack so_announced this afternoon. Mr. Cormack declined to make pub- lic the text of the challenge or to com- ment in any way. It would be consid- ered by the members of the club, he asserted, before it would be acted upon. Whether the members will hold a special meeting for this purpose or would take it up at their regular meet- ing on March 27, he added, rested en- tirely with the executive committee. Gavignon Withdraws Challenge. James Gavignon, whose challenge at pool appeared in Wednesday’s Bulletin States that his representative gave the challenge without his consent-and de- sires to withdraw it. A communic: tlon was received by the Bulletin's Willimantic correspondent from A. Benoit, expressing Mr. Benoit's will- ingness to meet Gavignon in a pool contest. Pitcher Dalgren Reinstated. Cincinnati, Ohio, March 6.—The na- tional baseball commission today re- instated - Pitcher Cyrus Dahlgren of the Cincinnati National league team into the good graces of organized ball. Dahigren failed to report to Cincin- nati in 1912 and admitted having played with a semi-professional team. He was fined 3 Sets New American Record in Latter Event. Lelivelt Coming Back. A war corsespondent now with the New York Americans at the Bermuda training camp has the following to say regarding Jack Lelivelt, the old Hartford outfielder, who is seeking a place on the . Yankee payroll: “All doubt as to the condition of Jack Leli- velt has been allayed. He needs quite a little work vet, not £or weight reducing, but as a severe test of the leg which bothered him for two years and was the cause of his being turned over to the International league last season by the Washington club. The two nerves which he dislocated by sliding into a base two vears ago have been replaced and strengthened by massage. He has not had any trou- ble with the leg yet and does not ex- peet to. He shows signs in his daily work which indicate that he will be as fast as he ever was. If he does so prove during the championship season he will be a big asset to the Highland- ers in their efforts to retrieve for the woeful showing they made last sea- son.” Pittsfieid’s Problem Solved. Pittsfield's basebal] puzzle has been solved at last, and no more will the town be torn by threats that the team will be taken to the wilds of Connecti- cut. Fred M. Osteye has evidently de- cided that half a loaf is better than no bread and has decided to take what he can get. It has been announced that the “whirlwind campaign” to raise funds with which the baseball plant would be bought has resulted in con- tributions and collections amounting to $2,669.60. The sum almed at was $4,000. it 1s now announced that Mr. Osteye has agred to take what he can get and it is expected the collections Wwill be increased /by donations from weal- thy enthhusiasts so that the total will reach $3,000. ' For the money collected | and donated Mr. Osteye will turn over the baseball plant to the Greater Pitts- fleld Basebal] association, saii associa- tion to hold the property and to lease it to Jack Zeller for the Pittsfield base- ball club, Mcintosh Upheld in Demurrer. ydney, N, S.

The wild man has made his mark in baseball in more ways than cne, and many batsmen will testify to this as a living fact, not alone from memory, but by certain marks and indentations on certain parts of their anatomy. Can the batsmen of our national = game vouch for this statement, that al] wild men are not in Africa? Many wild men have cut a wide swath in base- ball history, ang their names will live as long as the game. Hundreds of batsmen will have a spot in their mem- the chap hat dont' kmow how, or the chap that ddn’t know how, or what course the ball would travel after leaving his hand. - That some are running wild today in many bush leagues and no smal] num- ber have found their way to the big leagues, is a recorded fact. The- wild- est kind of a wild man flourished right within the charmed circle of “major leaguedom,” and keépt batters and um- pires bobbing and dodsing his untam- ed and unfettered delivery, and the chap that won undying fame in this role was none other than the famous ‘Bently Seymour, says an exchange. With~ astouishing speed and freakish curves Cy was not a desirable proposi- tion to face. Dick Cooley of the Phila- | delphia Americans used to remark “that he surely would meet his death someday if he had to face Seymour | right along.” Dick had a genuine dread of Cy’s-ungovernable delivery. Passed Sixteen Batsmen. ! George Van Haltren, a left hander, | made his debut in the Nationu! league, | pitching for Chicago against Poston in | 1887; he made a remarkable record " in | wildness, George made one wild pitch, gave 16 men bases on balls and nailed | three others on the cocoanut. For the | rest of his career Van showed fairly | good control, evidently getting all the | wildness out’ of his system in one fell | sWoop. | Edward Crane, the famcus speed | merchant of the New York Giants| away back in the early days of base- | ball, had an arm attached to the right | side of his anatomy that possessed the | power to throw a ball “out of sight, gs the small boy would term it. Du 4ng 1886, while,outflelding for the Washington club of the National| league, he became imbued with the | idea of pitching, believing that if he could concentrate his wonderful throw ing power into hurling the ball fifty feet that it would burn it way through ozone, leaving nothing but a streak of | blue smoke. Crane Beaned Three. So one day the manager called Lhis‘ untried thunderbolt into service. In a regular league game was Edward | Crane given the opportunity to try his sizzling speed. Those who witnessed the zame still remember it as if it were vesterday. Crane had the blue smoke all right, but no more contro] over it than a green chap from the effete and | lauguorous east would bave in riding a | bucking broncho. The Chicago team . was the victim, and here is a true list | of the casualties: Four wild pitches, | three batsmen hit, 14 men passed over | and by the free route to first. ! After this exhibition Crane dldn’t get | a chance to crack heads or disable any more of the players in the National | leag: During the fall of that year | he joined an expedition to Cuba that went on a barnstorming trip through that island. He saw an_opportunity for practice; with their reinforced craniums, made a. safer and much better target for Crane to fire at. After the first game or so ' that Crane worked against the Cubans | they became terror stricken: what he | did_ to them would be horrible to re-| late. - He had them on the run from ! the first inning to the very last, nat| one of the natives being brave enough | to stand up under Crane's terrific fire.

If Dave Altizer hadn’t shown Otis Clymer a little trick in the wrapping of a bandage the latter would now be pursuing the simple life, unknown to fame, instead of seeking a steady job with a major league ball club.
