Leahy of the| Norwich Free Academy Baseball team has practically finished his schedu151 for the coming season. He has ar- ranged for about twenty games in all and has not heard anything definite from several other teams yet. There is great disappointment in the fact that the Academy's blood-rival, Bulkeley will not have a team this vear. The usual games played with ! Windham High will have fo be omitted | this year owing to the fact that they | are not going to have a team this year. | | | | i i One or two new teams have been added to the list, teams that have never appeared on the Academy cam- | pus, Hartford and Fort H. G. Wright. | The latter will play here on Decoration | day and usually they have a team that | can clean up anything in this district. | | The season starts with a local team on April 11, that is the pick of the city | and will give the school boys a good | £o. There will be between twelve and fifteen home games and Manager Leahy says that he will have a team that will trim anything in this part of the state. He says the Sachems are looking for a game and if they | prove fast enough he will take them {on. One of Manager Leahy's highest ambitions is to defeat the fast All Stars who established such a county wide reputation last year. The date has not yet been set, but will be probably be When both teams are going in their best form. 1 ‘The campus is not thoroughly dried | pj but it looks very promising now.

Defeated South Manchester 34 to 26— Will Play Middletown For the State Championship. (Special to The Bulletin.) Willimantic, March 27—The Emer- alds defeated the South Manchester | Basketball five Friday night in the de- ciding game between the twb teams by the score of 34 to 26. Mack was back in the line-up for the game, pring four field goals. Next Friday night the locals play Middletown for the championship of the state on the Valley Street Armory floor in this city, and a great game is | expected. The lineup and scode of Friday's game was as follows: Emeralds—Mack, Higgin: J. Keirans, W. Keiraps. Manchester—Ancher, W. Rogers, Rogers, Chambers, Quish. Goals—Mack 4, Higgins 6, Russell 4, W.

New York, March 27.—The progres ‘ sive decline in stock exchange trans-| actions proceeded today to a point| which brought down speculation to minimum proportions. The slow down- weak movement of the last few days | continued. Weakness developed in | spots, but losses in most instances were Theld to fractions. In the first bour, usually the most active of the day, ‘transactions footed up barely 30,- 000 'shares. Fluctuations were so nar- row that professional traders had few opportunities, and In the latter part of the day they left"the market practic- ally to itself. The discouraging features from the standp t of traedrs committed to the long side, were the comparatively wide declines of a few issues, in spite of the fact that no severe pressure ws dirested against them. Lehizh Vali- ley stood out most conspicuously among these stocks, falling back three points. Pittsbure, Cincinnati, Chicagc and St. Louis lost two points of the recovery which followed its first break on announcement of the cut in divi- dends. Canadian Pacific, Northern Pa- cific and Northwestern also were heavy. The later stock was influenced | by ifs February statement, showing a| decrease_in net earnings of $305,000. | ion Pacifis’ February net fell off $512.000, ‘and Illinois Central's $245,000. | Of the industrials American Sugar | was especially heavy. Its decline was attrobuted to current trade conditions and to forecasts of an unusuvally large beet sugar crop. Tobacco stocks were depresed by the prospects of further Htigation with the government. | Trading was dull abroad as well as| in this market, and London did little | business here. i There was an easier tendency in the | time money market, despite the near | approach of the time for April divi-! dend and interest payments. The banks continued to accumulate cash on transactions with the interior.

OPENING GAMES IN THE SOCCER FOOTBALL LEAGUE Taftville Has Fine Prospects—Baltic’s Lineup. The newly organized Soccer Football league starts in full swing today (Sat- urday) with two games, one in Taft- ville &nd the other in_ Sterling. From the standpoint of the fans it looks as if Taftville has the strongest team. H. Finlayson will play goal and this means that this position will be greit- ly strengthened. Thus position has ly strengthened. This position has for it has been a weak spot. |Sutton and F. Greenhalgh, fullbacks. Sutton is a new man and hails from New- ark, N. J. and with his teammate will take good care of their entrusted posi- tions: halfbacks, White, Roy and Des- jardin; forwards, Pilling and Knowles, Who is shifted from left half to inside right. A. Finlayson will play center and the Greenhalgh brothers will make a good left wing. If the weather per- mits this will be a corking good game. The league has adopted the English soccer rules and will use neutral ref- erees, The games that the league play are bound to be very interesting owing to the fact that the teams are so even- ly matched and so much enthusiasm has been stimulated that a good crowd i3 expected at the opening games. The kickoff at Taftville will be at 3.15, Bal- tic’s lineup is as follows: Goal, E. Firth: backs, A, Cullen and ®R. Swan- son; half backs, C. Garrett, A. Miller, T. Haughton; forwards, T. Elder. J. Cullen, 'S. Stafford, W, Bouchn, F. Buckley. KETCHAM WILL NOT TRY TO MAKE CREW Captain of 1913 Football Team Will Play Soccer Instead. It was announced that the first and second Yale crews will be entered in a two mile race in New Haven harbor April 8, the last day before the Easter recess Coach Nickalls expects to get facts gbout how the men will sit in a race on that day At present they are seated in the two varsity boats without regard to ability, but after the race there will be a shakeup. Meanwhile there will be no races and few sprints. The policy of row- ing them from 12 to 15 miles a day to harden them will be continued Capt. Ketcham of the 1913 footbal team has decided not to work as a candidate for the crew, but will re- port to Coach Grier for soccer prac- tice. FEDERALS CAST OFF CATCHER HILDEBRAND Were Unaware of His Contract with New London. One jumper has been vanked back into organized ball. Catcher Hilde- brand, who signed with New London and then leaped to the Brooklyn Fed- erals, has been cast adrift by the out- laws. When they signed him they didn’t know of his New London con tract. The player was _originally bought from the St. Louis Cardinals BALKS AT SOUTHERN BERTH. Harrison Refuses to Play in South— Giant Outfielder Wants Northern Job. John McGraw announced that waiv- ers had been obtained on Eddie Har- rison, the likely outfielder who played with the regulars. McGraw asserted that he had given permission to Own- er Gardner of the Dallas team to open negotiations with Harrison. However, Harrison says that he will under no circumstances consent to play in the south, and especially in Texas. Should he persist in his stand MeGraw will probably place him with Joe Kelly’s team in Toronto. He is a hard hitter and_a first class fielder and Kelly, who is in Dallas, will no doubt receive him with open arms. The New York club owes the Dallas team a player in return for courtesies, and somebody else will get the assignment The fact that Harrison was amon the first to feel the slash of the furnishes a striking commentary spring iraining performances been killing the ball in all the Harrison was bought from the New- burg club of the New York and New Jersey league last season, and was sec- ond in the league batting stand on He ha games, M'CANN GOT GOOD STOCK. | their presentation MEXICAN PEOPLE - NOT UNDERSTOOD.

The function of the educational institutions of the church he stated to be to turn out men who would make religion re- | spectable from the intellectual side. Bishop Hamilton in introducing the next speaker, Rev. P. J. Mavetty, re- ferred to the fact that he himself had in several instances married people of the colored race to whites, although he knew he went agalnst the preju- dices of New England in stating the act, Race Prejudice Discussed. Rev. Mavetty, whose subject was the Freedman’s Aid society, discussed race prejudice in an earnest yet humorous manner, and explained the aims of the society, making a pléa for the jubilee offering which is to commemorate fifty, years of freedom for the black people. Rev. Dr. Ward Platt, who gave a stirring taik upon Home Missions and Church Extension Work, stated that the objects of this branch of the church work were three-fold, to subsidize pas- tors all over the country, the church extension work and the ican fund, not a loan of which, said he, was in ar- rears in interest, although the fund was now over $1,600,000. “Whoever wins America wins world capitulation” said the speaker, Bishop Hamilton again interjected a new thought into the conference, when he said that many churches had not realized their responsibility for the coming citizens who were growing up in the centres of large cities, but had so0ld their sites and gone away from the center, pocketing the money they had never earned, and erected in other locations splendid churches which they never could have afforded otherwise. Foreign and Church Extension. The last speaker at the morning ses- sion was Rev. F. M. North, whose sub- Ject was foreign and church extension, The speaker pictured the relation of the work of this branch to all the others, stating that the whole task of world _evangelization belongs to the Methodist church and is at it. Home and forelgn missions cannot be sep- arated, said he. He outlined the work before' the church in four sections: First, the racial problem, with par- ticular emphasis upon the Latins and the Oriental: the great problem of the world; second, as to individual rights and’ their assertion, and the re- lation of these rights to property and the ownership of what a man pro- duces; third, the social question, which is not merely economic. The city is the response to the claims of social hunger. The cities are the centers of power. 11 these movements, the I, e labor organ ations and the h try to bring ndividuals their rights, are the problems of ery country on the earth. The fourth is the great faiths of the world. Christianity is penetrating them, but except in the prophetic they are not dying religions, ed. We have only d of a great programme, he said, and we should keep the line of advance where it is and not receding At the conclusion of the session the shop introduced the presiding officers and the speakers of the afternoon ses- stons of the women’s socleties, and adjournment was then taken New Financi Plan. The afternoon session of the confe ence was given up to a consideration of the new financial p| it is and what it does. Rev Crowther gave a survey of prevailing conditions illustrating his talk with many charts showing statistics collected from 3,000 district reports, as to the amounts given per capita and in the gross, the decreases and increases throughout the country, for the support of the benev- olences of the church and the local work. He was followed by Rev. John Lowe Fort of Detroit, who characterized the ke, Wh present condition without a _budget plan as due to two factors, lack of knowledge and lack of . He then presented the plan adopted by the fi committee appointed by the last general conference, stating that it was a financial plan it was the greatest evangelizing influence now in the church. The personal canvass | and the bipocket or duplex envelope | n_were strongly commended b er, and he said that this plan the duties of him free for I ing the ptan as out- thanking the gentlemen for of the same. ned and Woman's Foreign Missionary Society.
