The Bulletin's Lisbon correspondent writes: The news that Mva, Abby Jana Gallup had died Sunday evaniag, April &, came as a shock to her relatives and friends, many of whom did not know that she was ill. For two weeks she had had a severe cold, but no serious results were anticipated untll the last few davs. Mrs. Gallup was born in Colches- ter, July 28, 1841, the daughter of Qabriel and Abby Jane Fuller Inara- ham. She first married Bdwin B Nerthrop of Griswold, who lived only a shore time. On Nov. 23, 1867, she married Nathan Dwight Gallup, whose dexth eccurred Dec, 26, 1884.

Bullish Traders Made It Lively for a Few Minutes. New York, April 7—Speculation was again alow today and market values were little chenged. Kven the bril- ‘lient promise held out for the winter wheat crop in the government report failed to arouse the market from its lethargy. Appearance of the report wes the signel for a Gemonstration on the part of bullish traders, and for 2 few minutes speculation was lively, but the professional operators failed to attract a following and after a few minutes the market settled back into tts dull routine. The apathstic recep- tion of the crop report was in keeping with the session as a whole, although a few stocks moved in response to in- fluences particularly affecting them, The tone was good and most of the standard stocks again made fractional advances. The best showing was made by the grangers, whose strength re- flected the expectation of a large wheat crop. The crop report also_ benefited International Harvester, which was one of the strongest of the industrials. Tobacco shares advanced, with a buoy- ant spurt of 24 points in Loriliard. This stock jumped five points or more at a time, no reason being assigned other than the stock was scarce and that to fill an order for 300 shares “at the market” a broker was odliged to bid it up. On the curb stocks in the Standard Oil group were unusually weak. Renewed liguidation among low priced railroad shares, marticularly those involved in reorganization pro- ceedings, held back the general ma ket. Both Webash issues and St. Louls and Sen Francisco common and sec— ond preferred made new low records, The bond market was irregular, St Louis and San Franclsco refunding fours advanced sharply despite the wealmess of the stocks.

He came to Hot Springs to procure some of the players of| plaintiff and offered them over one | thousand dollars in advance of their contract price with the plaintiff to Dbreach_their contracts with plaintiff and hire to his company. He.was bound to know it would work a great !injury to the plaintiff. I can see no purpose of the defendant except to | employ plaintiff's players and ‘thereby { deprive him of entering the basebail games as a competitor and by reason thereof defendant’s company would greatly benefit financially. It is just such & wrong as a court of equity should not permit when appealed to.” JEWETT CITY ON THE BASEBALL MAP AGAIN. Borough Will Have Good Team— Strong Financial Backing. Manager Benjamin wishes to notify the managers of the leading baseball teams in this section not to be in any great hurry to place their order for the pennant, or championship which so many are already claiming as he has signed Jewett City’s “best” and that ought to satisfy everyone, especially the fans who found it necessary to travel to New London in order to get the brand of the great national game to which they are accustomed. The pick of the borough's last sea- son’s teams; also the Jewett City boys who aided outside towns win laurels last season haye been signed by Mgr. Benjamin. What more is needed? After Saturday’s practice Mgr. Ben- jamin spoke as follows: When any of the several teams which represented Jewett City last season could meet and defeat the teams of Eastern Connecti- cut what chance will these same teams stand against the team I have chosen to represent the borough? I have ac- complished what many have claimed impossible, i. e., signed for one team the best-piayers in town.” He was asked if he could procure the financial backing necessary to keep such a fast team together all season; fortify himself against the inroads of other managers who want good play- ers and are willing to pay highly for same. He replied: “I have arranged a se- ries of first-class ; entertainments | also a fund will be raised by popular subscription and season tickets will soon be on the market. I expect to have at least $200-in the treasury at the start of the season and that with the attendance which this town fur- nishes first-class baseball will put me on easy street. My team is faster than the pennant winners of séveral vears ago and look at the large crowds they drew. Evervthing points to a success ful season despite all reports to the contrary the: following men will w a brand new Jewett City uniform this season: catchers, Sharkey, Gradwell; Pitchers, Raney, Brickley; first base, McCarthy; second base Barry; short stop, Rioux; third base, McArthur. The outfleld positions are as yet not settled but the assurance is given that it will compars in every way with the infleld and battery squad. It will be several weeks before tha grounds will be in first class shape so the first few games will be played away from home. Games are being arranged with the Nationals of Woonsocket, the Red Sox of Providence, Voluntown-Glasgo, Hanover, All*Stars, Hospitals and oth- er fast teams. BROOKLYN FEDERALS BREAK CAMP NEXT SATURDAY. Bradley Still Missing—Catcher Hilder- brand in Columbsa. Manager Bradley did not return| Saturday to the Brooklyn Keds train- ing camp at Columbia, S. C. The pilot was expected back not later than the afterncon, but when the train rolled in from the direction in which _he went, Bradley was not aboard. His itinerary remains a secret, but the dope around the camp is that he has some good player on the string and that when he returns there will be an important announcement to be made. The prevaillng opinion now is that| Bradley has not gone after Seaton; at | least that he has not gone to Shreve- port, but may have gone elsewhere re- garding a deal for Seaton. Hilderbrand and Watkins, released by the club be- cause they are signed with New Lon- don, Conn., of the Eastern Assocfation are still in Columbia. They will re- main there until Bradley returns. The morning practice is devoted principally to batting and fielding. Then Hoffman picked two teams and let them play for a few innings. The pine composed largely of colts made it hot for the vets. When time was called the colts had a good lead. It was really not a game at all, as only a few innings were played and these | merely to round out the rough places. | The members of the camp are in| great physical shape. The team will | probably leave Columbia one week from last Saturday for Pittsourg. | | MAY NOT ATTACH RESERVE CLAUSE. Federal Officers Hold It Illegal Decks were cleared in the United States District Court Saturday for the first real legal battle between organ- ized baseball and the Federal League. William F. Killifer, the catcher, who began his baseball career with Michi- | gan teams and worked his way to the majors, was the storm center. The | were confli; question for the court to decide was whether Killifer is the property of | the Chicago team of the Federal | League or belongs to the Philadelphia Last season Killifer was with Phila- | delphia. During the past winter he! signed a Federal League contract; then he renounced the independent organization and signed a new con- | | tract with the Phiiadelphia Club. As| {a result, the Federal League started | injunction proceedings, in the United | | States District Court to restrain Kill- | | fer from playing with Philadelphia. | | The petition also asks that Killifer bs | | declared the property of the Chicago, Federals. i | The reserve clause, somectimes i termed the bulwark of organized base- { ball, may not be attacked by the at- torneys for the petitioning olub, al- | though officlals of the Federal League have held the clause to be illegal.

Because Pitcher Seaton May Join | Them The little Glooms that have been hovering around the camp of the Brooklyn Federals were dispelled by the army of Joys, when it was learn- | ed that there was a possibility of Tom ! Seaton, the former Philadelphia pitch- | er, reporting to the Tip Tops. While | nothing definite could be learned of | the conference between Robert B.| ‘Ward, President of the Brookfeds, and | | Charles Weegham, head of the Chifeds, in Chicago, it was broadly hinted that Seaton woild be turned over to Brad- ey. ‘Although Ward and Weegham, head held a conference in Chicago regard- ing the disposition of Seaton, there| ng reports of the meet- ing. One had it that Seaton would join the Tip Tops, while another was going the rounds that the Quaker hur- ler would remain with the Chicago Feds and that Brooklyn would be given several players in exchange for him. It was said that Seaton would pos- sibly be turned over to the Brookfeds { i i i { i in acordance with the promise made ' Ward when he entered the ieague.| The Tip Tops do not need any more | players, unless they are pitchers, as they already have an abundance of infielders and outfielders. What Bradley needs is a few good reliable hurlers. NO TANGOING IN YALE MEN. uts Ban on Danc- ing. | Captain Blossom i | | | The Yale baseball team met at the!

In view of the fact that six mem- | bers of the squad were sent home last year within the first few days of land- | ing at Norfolk, because of an infringe- | ment of training rules, it has deemed advisable to let the new men on the team know that only hard work | will be indulged in while the squad is | below the Mason and Dixon line.
