Two Veterans and Two Recruits Make Up the Firing Line— Gauchier Had Varsity Guessing—Lord Will Do Catch- ing—Good Combination E dition. in Infield—Field in Good Con- = FRANKLIN LORD N. F. A. Baseball Catcher Baseball practice is at full swing at the Academy. Captain Stanley has his tossers out daily for their spring train- ing. The squad this year is one of the most promising the school has had in the last two years. The firing line looks now as if it will be of the best. There are four pitchers out and all seem to the steam and the makings of big leaguers. Benjamin and Brickley are of last year’s squad and have had some experience. Gaucher, the youngest and smaallest of themall, has the making of a clever mound artist,_his form and style is of the best, aithough small the voungster has speed to burn and had all the varsity men guessing at his puzzlers when they took a turn at the Bat. Markie is the giant of the mound- ers with oceans of speed but lacks control. The backestop work will be taken care of this year by Lord who made quite a showing two years ago. He is starting this season off at a good rate his pegging js_excellent and his bat ting eve is of Ty Cobb style. The infield consisting of Captain Stanley on second and Eddie Murray ! at short will be classed as the famous Tinker and Evers combination. The outfield will remain about the camé as last year. In a scrub game Wednesday after- noon the picked first team trimmed the second in a close mateh. The team that represented the first team will probably be the one that will play against the Dingbats Saturday. Both teams made a good showing for the first game. The lineups of the teams were follows: First Team: Capt. Stanley 2b, .J Hull 3b, E. Murray ss, S. Crowe If, Robinson cf, H. Hull rf, Lord e, Brickley)\Benjamin p, Young 1b. Second Team: Fillmore c, Markey, Guacher p, Hughes 3b, Benjamin 1b, as O'Hear 2b, Demerais b, Mullen ss, Murtha If, Brogan cf, and L. Stanley Tf. The fleld is in good condition and Leahy had his assistants at work getting the grounds ready for the opening Saturday with the Dingbats. SOUTHERN LEAGUE THREATENS TO JOIN FEDERALS May Desert Organized Ball—Sore at Drafting Rule. According to a baseball scribe who recently returned from the land of Dixie, where he followed the training of a major league club, there is a full- sized rumor in the southern country that the Southern association contem- plates breaking with organized base- ball and hooking up with the Federal |9eague. The Southern association has not been satisfied ever since Class AA classification was granted to the In- ternational league, the American as- sociation and the Pacific Coast league a year ago. By granting a higher clas- sification in these three leagues the Séuthern association and the Western league were left as the only Class A leagues, Class AA teams get $2,500° for a }grahed player and Class A teams only { $1,500. | The last straw came when the Ball Players' Fraternity won its fight for inter-league waivers. No major league | club can send a major league player | to the Southern association unless all Class AA teams waive on him. The commission construes this as- not in- cluding drifted players, but Dave Fultz went on the warpath recently and positively stated it meant return- ed drafted players, If the Southern association breaks ith_organized baseball, it will be a. Dbig help to the Federal league, and {will work against the major leasue teams. Federal league t may then train on th egrounds of the Southern association clubs, and they will get all the best training dates in the south. WINDHAM HIGH GIRLS CHAMPIONS OF THE STATE. Defeated Naugatuck in Deciding Game —Score 8 to 7. (Special to _The Bulletin.) Willimantic, April $— The girls basketball team of the ‘Windham High school lived up to the | expectations of their followers Wed- | nesday afternoon by administering a defeaat to the team from the Nauga- tuck High school on the floor of Han- |na’s Armory ing New Britain in the | third and deciding game of a_series | of three for the girl's championship of the state. Naugatuck led untfl the last two | minutes of play, when the score was 7-4in their favor, but Willimantic threw two baskets and clinched the game 8 to 7, before the whistle blew: Great credit for the splendid showing of ‘the team is due Miss Alice Halli- ~ FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL MARKET MORE ACTIVE. Movement Irreguiar and Price Tend- ency Was Downward. New York, April 8—Speculative selling of stocks increased today and while the movement was irregular the prevailing tendency was downward. fTrading was considerably heavier than during the unnaturally dull markets at the opening of the week. A violent slump in Canadian Pa- gave the market a setback at the opening. The sweeping reduction in freight rates ordered by the Can- | adian railway commission led to large offerings of the stock. It was forced under 200 for the fist time since 1911. showi day's low price. London and Montreal sold Canadian Pacific and other shares were un- loaded for foreign account, _Prices azzeg at the opening, and bearish *m seized the ppportunity to offer Embolderfed by the apathetic | reception yesterday of the strong crop report, which seemed to show that the market was not in the mood to respond to bullish influences, out new lines in a freer manner than | had been observed during the cau- tious recent- Iy. After a general decline of small proportions, the market stiffened for a time, under the lead of the coalers, which were stimulated by Lackawan- speeulative operations na's victory in the anti-trust suit. The | rally was short-lived, however, and in the late trading the marlket again turn- | ed downward. Last prices showed a preponderance of small declines, run ning up a point or more in a few | cases. The afternoon decline was influencedq by further indications of unsatisfac- tory business conditions. Lackawa | na Steel's quarterly report showed a deficit of $445,000 compared With a surplus of $742,000 last year. Idle freight cars increased nearly 15,000 in the last half of March. The weekly steel trade Teviews were pes- imistie, indicating that wage reduc- tions might bé necessary if conditions did_not improve. The monthly copper statement was | a strong one, disclosing a reduction in supplies of 13,762,000 pounds, but it merely fulfilled expectations and was without influence. Bonds were irregular. Further ad- vances were made in various _ high ade investment bonds. Rock Island collaterals broke a point to 34 5-8. To- tal sales of bonds, par value, $2,400,- 000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. STOCKS. Sates, — 1000 Alaska Gold M. . 151 Allis-Chalmers 12760 Amal,_ Copper 100 Am, B, S. & F. pr. 1600 Am.

The recent Brooklyn games have changed the entire, complexion of things. Chanve seems to have the out- fit._playing with the vim of the old Cubs. The P, L. is also the same Chance of old. Last year it was pretty hard for Husk to get out in the coach- er's box and try to cheer things up, and some even called him the Cheer- less Leader. In those Brooklyn games last week Chance stuck to the coaching lines all through the fray, and his eloquence went a long way toward keeping his people charged with the old pep. ‘When Chance returned to New York last Friday he declared his strength was in his pitchers. “I have one of the best pitching staffs in the game,” sald Chance. “All I need is to have them ail going at the same time, and we wilk win a lot of games.” Chance’s argument seems to have been a very good one, too, as shown in those Brooklyn games. McHale, War- hop, Caldwell, Cole, Keating and Fisher all pitched splendid ball against the Dodgers. Caldwell, Cole and Keating should be the stars of the staff, while McHale also shows promise of being a brilliant performer. SHATTERS HARVARD STRENGTH RECORDS. Oran C. Kirkpatrick Proves to Be a Modern Samson. A new record for strength was és- tablished when Oran G. Kirkpatrick of San Antonio, Tex., ran up 1,349 points in his test at the Hemenway gyminas um and took the title of Harvard’ strongest man from Huntington R. Hardwick, the Harvard football play= er, who had 1,296 points to' his credit. Kirkpatrick, who is president of the freshman class, is a candidate for the '17 track team, and it was while taking a test preliminary to becoming a can- didate that he achieved the new lau- rels. Dr. Dudley M. Sargent, director of the gymnasium, said he expects to see the new record stand for years. Kirk- patrick came to Harvard from Exeter and, although he as captain of the football team there, he did not come out for the gridiron game at Cambridge last fall He will be a varsity candi- date next September, however. e ATHLETICS LOSE CLOSE GAME. Bush Pitched Good Game for Five Innings—Stengel Broke Up the Game. g Brooklyn, N. Y., April 8.—Two runs behind at the end of the seventh, the Brooklyn Nationals won in the last two innings against the Philadelphia | Americans today, scoring twice in the eighth and once in the ninth. The Score was 3 to 2. For five innings Bush held the locals to one scratch-hit. Durning relieved him and was wild, passing three bat- ters and hitting another, which with a sacrifice fly enabled Brookiyn to tie the score in the eighth. The winning run came with one out, Siith singling, stealing second and coming home on Stengel's_smash to centre, The hitting throughout the game was light, the Athletics getting their lead on ragged fielding by the locals. Egan was guilty of four misplays. It was_“warld’s 1 champions” day with music and a parade of the players in the presence of a crowd even larger than that which attended the opening game. Score: Philadelphia 0 000 011 00—2 3 0| Brooklyn .. 0000000213 3 6 Bush, Durning and Schang; Ragan, Allen, Pfeffer and Fischer. 2 GIA_NTS LOSE. R H.E. In Willimantic Duckpin Leaague.
