Young Will Have Men on Field Monday—Can- didates to Undergo Stiff This Year’s Schedule. _The mild afterncon air and the warm sun has stirred up activity in athletic circles at the N. F. A, and Captain Charles Young will soon have his ball tossers ready for the opening game of the season, which comes on April 14 when they play the All Stars on the Academy campus. Already the sev- eral candidates for the pitcher’s box have been on the dtamond and have gone throygh some stiff tryouts. Brickley and Benjamin, two of last year's tossers, are out to conquer new worlds this season and Purvis, a new man, promises to make an unusually good showing. Qoach Overbagh is at present en- joying the Baster vacation at his home and will not return until school re- opens for the spring term. However, Captain Young does not intend to al- low the absence of the coach to in- terfere with his spring training. for he has ordered his men to report at the diamond on next Monday after- noon, when some good stiff work will be_put through. . He has a long list of candidates for the various positions and every man will be thoroughly tried out as it is intended to make this year's team one of the strongest that has ever defend- ed the N. F. A. Among those en- deavoring to qualify for catcher is “Chick” Stanley, a first string man, who played in the field last year, and other last year men who are looking for the same job are Cohen, Cayouette arg Harold Hull, and included in the new men is George Mullen. First base will be covered by Captain Young and William Shea will look after the sec- ond sack, while Hull, who played sec- ond last year, and Noonan, a former Bulkeley man, are out after third this season. Willlam Stanley, last year's third baseman, will probably ~ play shortstop. Among the dozen or more candidates for the field is Charles Crowe, a last season’s player. _ The schedule of some fifteen games includes Storrs, a strong bunch of players who have clashed with such teams as Colby, Middlebury college and New York university. Last year the N. F. A. defeated the Aggles 14 to 4 and they hope to administer a like defeat this year. Another of the strong_teams on the list is the Hart- ford High, who are coming to Ner- wich on May 31. The schedule is given below: April 14—All Stars at Norwich. April 16—Westerly at Westerly. April 17—Storrs at Storrs April 20—Killipgly at Norwich, April 24—Dingbats at Norwich, April 28—Hospital at Hospital May 1—Hospital at Norwich. May 5—N. L. Ind, at Norwich. May 7—Stonington at Stonington. May 12—XKillingly at Killingly. May 15—N. L. Ind, at New London. May 18—Westerly at Norwich, Tryouts—Fifteen Games on May May May 26—Open, 29—Stonington at Norwich. 31—Hartford at Norwich. The Academy boys will probably play Windham two games, one at Windham and the other on the locel dlamond and it is pussible that a date may be arranged with Putnam. They would like to meet the Sachems this year if the Indian tossers decide to organize. THERMOS CLUB PREPARING FOR THE BALL SEASON. Team Candidates to Report for Prac- tice in Near Future. “The American Thermos bottle base- ball club has issued a call for its ball players to report for practice, and in a very short time be ready to take on all challenges with shop teams of the city. At the meeting Max Ells- worth was elected captain and George Geophit was elected manager. Among the recruits to report are Sam Brown, Joe Gadle, Pete Goldberg, Jim Mur- phy, Joe Hastedt, Issy Renig and the veterans of last year's team are Square Odgren, who used to catch for the Ori- ol of New Britain; Gentleman Wright, formerly of the i later with Driscoll's All Star: Smith and Bob Steelc, well known in semi-pro circles around Danbury; George Kennell and Jeff Eiders, for- merly of the Siegel-Cooper baseball club of New York cit; James Blair and Captain Ellsworth, formerly of the Little Potatoes Hard to Peel, and Frank Andre, who pitched for the freshman team of Yale of 1910. With this bunch of tossers, Captain Ellsworth expects to bring a few scalps home to his fireside. For their first game the captain would like to hear from the Independents, whose chal- lenge appeared in Monday morning’s Bulletin. All communications will be taken care of by Captain Ellsworth or Manager George Geophit, care of the American Thermcs Bottle company. WELLS KNOCKEb OUT IN 10TH. Pittsburgh Fighter Dealt English Heavyweight Knockout Blow. London, March 29.—Frank Moran, the American heavyweight, knocked out the English champion, Bombardier Wells, in the tenth round before 4,500 spectators in the London Opera house tonight. Moran sent a right to Wells’ jaw and the English champion fell flat on his face, The crowd, which had watched Wells' clever boxing enthusiastically, seemed stunned; then cheers burst forth and Wells' seconds lefted the prostrate fighter and carried him over the rope: In the first round Moran outfought FIfiANflIAL AND COMMERGIAL STOCK MARKET ACTIVE. Bethlehem Steel Made a Net Gain of 12 3-2 Points, New York, March 29.—Bethlehem Steel again was the central figure of the stock market today, advancing to 89, a maximum gain of 14 3-8 At its closing price of 87, it showed a net gain of 12 3-§, or a total of 20 3-8 from the low of last Friday. In ex- actly four weeks the stock has ad- vanced about 35 points and the entire outstanding capital issue, par value $14,908,000 has changed hands several times over. Dealings in_Bethlehem Steel today were larger than in any other issue, aggregating about 56,500 shares. Aside from the popular belief that a large short interest has been put to rout, no explanation of the further rise was forthcoming. There were rumors of a contest for control of the property, but this was not credited in quarters having intimate knowledge of the company’s affairs. Traders and the speculative public as a whole indicated their distrust of the movement in Bethlehem Steel by their cautious attitude towards the balance of the list. Some of the spec- ulative favorites rose to new high prices for the current movement, but sold off later, Reading and a few other seasoned shares showing net losses. Trading was very active at times, but the total was far below that of the middle of last week All the automobile stocks partici- pated to an unusual extent in the rise, General Motors, Stedebaker and Max- well common and preferred gaining from 2 to 7 pointts. Some of the equip- ment issues, including Pullman and General Electric were in better de- mand, also the petroleum group, the rise of the latter coinciding with high- er prices for the crude and refined products. The new week brought advices of increased production at some of the leading steel mills and an increase in the export inquiry for copper. For- eign exchange was devoid of especial features, brokers holding off in an- ticipation of important developments at London ang Paris, Total sales of stocks amounted to 535,900 shares. Bonds as a whole were strong, but failed to keep pace with the rise in stocks. There were heavy dealings in Southern Pacific convertible 5's at a slight concessions. Total sales, par value, were $2,550,000. TU. S. bonds were unchanged on call. STOOES Sales. 200Adams Express . 1700 Alasks Gold M High. 85% Tow, Close 85 105 Balt. & Ohlo pr 56500 Beth.

The second round went to Wells on points; in the third honors were even, but Wells had the advantage in the fourth. Both men were now bleeding over the left eye. 5 Again in the fifth Wells' superior- ity was marked, but Moran shaded him in the sixth, and before the eighth round was over Wells was bleeding profusely and appeared to be tired, while Moran was smiling and confi- dent. In the tenth Wells slipped and Moran shot a_vicious right to the ja which sent Wells sprawling on ki back. He lay until the count of six and then rose unsteadily, while the crowd roared. As Wells got to his feet Moran sent another lightning right to the jaw and the Englishman took the count. The bout was a twenty round match for a purse of $3,500. PECULIAR NOTIONS OF BATTERS. Tyrus Cobb Always Fusses the Plate. at Batters have their pecullar notions about taking their position at bat, and most of them have some little oddities they indulge in just before stepping into the batsman’s box. A few really belleve that by going through a certain set of motions and ridiculous didos it will bring good luck. Others do it for effect, a grandstand play, or for their own amusement. However, the great batsmen of the game, with few exceptions, rarely In- dulge in any of this fancy stuff, either before or after getting to the plate. Sam Crawford, Lajoie, Honus Wagner, Home Run Baker and a few other fa- mous batsmen have a very businesslike air about them when taking their posi- tions at the plate. The fact that they are there is sufficient to worry any pitcher. A _chap by the name of Lewee, who used to play with Buffalo when Dan Shannon was manager of the Bisons, had a stunt he always pulled off be- fore hitting at a ball that reminded one of an Indian medicine man going through his mysterious incantations of invoking aid from the father of the great waters. Just before his tuin came to face the pitcher Lee would take his cap in his left hand, then, swinging it slowly around, would face the sun—that is, if it were visible— then walk slowly to the plate, step on it with both feet, carefully turn around twice, step back, and hit the ball— that is, if he did not strike out. Ty Cobb makes a great fuss before going to the plate, and generally cre- ates a great fuss after reaching it. Ty has some stunts that are annoying to the pitcher that he pulls off in between balls and strikes, whichever the case might be. He will pose as if ready for the onslaught, then suddenly stoop down and grab a handful of dirt just as the pitcher is about to pitch. Ty dces not seem to worry whether the ball goes over the plate or not, for Cobb takes a strike about as meekly as any man. SOCCER SALARIES CUT. English Players Feel Effect of War as Gate Receipts Have Fallen Off. London, March 29—With the excep- tion_of a few players who were lucky to obtain contracts until April 30, 1916, calling for $20 a week, all English soc- cer professionals have had their sal- aries reduced for the next football sea- son, commencing on Sept. 1. The football aseociation has made an important change in its rules fixing the maximum salary of $15 a week for all players. Previously the rule read $20 a week, or $1,040 per annum. In addition to this reduction, salaries dur- ing the summer months have been for- bidden, resulting in the players' sal- aries being cut in half, as payment will only be made In future for the season —from Sept. 1 to April 30—or 35 weeks at $15 ($525), instead of 52 weeks at $20 ($1,040). Owing to the effects of the war, the gate receipts have fallen off to an alarming extent, and season tickets have not been bought with freedom. Few of the clubs have been able to pay their way this season, and the major- ity are from $5,000 to $30,000 in ar- rears, as compared with last year. It will require careful financing at the end of April to save many of the clubs from collapse. fi'lEARN 'S TWO RECORDS. Has en With More Champion Teams Than Any Other Player in World. ‘Walter Ahearn, who backstopped for the New London champions last year, holds two records. He has been with more champion nines than any other player in the world, and he has played on more Connecticut league teams than any other player. Johnny Evers of the Braves and Cubs and Ed Dougherty of the Red Sox and White Sox have made a big fuss because they were registered on two champion teams. Ahearn goes them two better. He has played on four blue ribbon nines and three more ‘which finished in second place. Ahearn was with New Haven when it finished at the head of the league in 1902 and in 1904, He was with the New London leaders last season; he was with Wa- terbury champions two seasons ago, and he wore a Holyoke uniform when its possession speiled championship. He was a member of the Holyoke nine that finished second and the Haverhill team of the New England league which closed the season next to the lead. Ahearn’s career has been one of the most spectacular of any player in the Connecticut or Eastern association. He began professional baseball playing when he was 17 years old, joining the New Haven team in 1902, from the Edgewoods of Westville. Prizefights lllegal in Nevada. Carson City, Nev., March 29.—By vetoing today the bill permitting 20 round boxing contests, passed at a re- cent session of the state legislature, Governor Boyle put an end to all li- censed prizefighting in Nevada, having already signed the general revenue bill which repealed the law under which ten round prizefights have been held during the past two years, The box- ing bill was an amendment to the act of 1897 permlulng finish fights, as amended by the legislature of 1913 which limited contests to ten rounds. Clabby Took No Chances. ‘Because they believe a hoodoo hov- ers over the grave of Stanley Ket- chel, former Middleweight Champion Jimmy Clabby and George Chip did not visit the bier of the departed pugilist at Grand Rapids. They base their belief on the experiences of other fighters who have visiteq Ket- chel’'s grave. Johnny Coulon lost his title two months after visiting Mount Calvary cemetery; Luther MoCarty was killed by Arthur Pelky, a few weeks after his visit, and Chip, him- self, was knocked out by Al McCoy barely a month atfer he paid homage over the remains of Stanley. Chinese Candidate for Syracuse Crew. Among the candidates trying for coxswain in the Syracuse varsity eight oared shell this spring is Harry M. Au, a Chinese undergraduate who weighs 110 pounds. Au is the first native of China to try for a place on a Syracuse varsity team, although a number of his countrymen have from time to time attended the university. If Au wins the position of coxswain he will be seen in the intercollegiate regatta at Poughkeepsie on June 28. | YORK STREET, If you contemplate the purchase of an ADDING MAGHINE you should investigate the new “WHITE” which is made in Connecticut.

Tom McCarty, Montana heavy- weight, outfought Battling Levinsky of New York city in a ten round bout in Brooklyn Saturday night. McCar- ty was the aggressor throughout, Booth Hopper, formerly with New Haven, will be retained b Clark Grif- fith of the Washington Senators this season. Hopper has been pitching as good ball as any pitcher on the team. “That old souse Herod kept his oath when he delivered the head of John the Baptist to the young woman who didn't wear clothes enough to make leggings for a humming bird.” Because of rain the polo game which ‘was to have been played at San Fran- cisco Saturday by the teams of the Philadelphia country club and the Midwick club of Pasadena, Cal, was postponed.

Boston athletic association marks- men defeated thost of the New York athletic club in an intercity shoot Saturday. The score was 1695 to 1688. The results were regarded as good notwithstanding adverse wind conditions. Neither Charlle White nor Leach Cross showed enough class in_their ten round bout to cause Freddle Weish to worry about his title. The bout was a mediocre one. It looked as if each was afraid of the other's much-herald- ed “punch.” The Brooklyn Superbas seem to have secured a star in Joe Schulz, who has been burning up the training camps in the south. Schultz has been hitting better than any regular on the Brook- Iyon team and nothing seems to be able ot ston him, L. D. Hurtig of Cincinnati, with a plunge of 70 feet, and Perry McGilli- cray of the Illinois athletic club, by winning the 220-yard dash In 2 min- utes 26 3-5 seconds at Boston Satur- day night, became the national ama- teur swimming champions in these events. They say Ex-Press Gus Kirby of the A. A U. is in favor of adopting the International Federation rule against humanely treating a Marathon runner. That settles it. Gus has had a wide experience in marathons, :t one does not care what he is say- ng. ‘The surprise of the meet was the defeat of the Olympic champion, Fred Kelly in the high hurdles by Preble of California in the slow time of 16 1 seconds. Kelly won the low hurdles in 27 1-5 seconds, slow time, and also took the shot with a put of 41 feet, 3 1-4 inches. Fred Murray of Stanford university turned in the best performances in the Stanford-Olympic dual meet at Polo Alto, California, last Saturday, when he went over the high hurdles in 13- 2-5 seconds and the low in 24 1-5 sec- onds, the latter making a new Pacific coast record. It will interest our New England collegians to learn that Carl Shat- tuck, the California hammer thrower, ‘won with a throw of 169 feet 3 inches. This is 4 feet 5 inches better than John De Witt's intercollegiate record, but is nearly 6 feet short of Shal tuck’s own collegiate record. ‘Willie Hoppe, the professional cham- pion, Saturday night at Philadelphia won the handicap 18.2 billlard match from Joseph Mayer, the amateur champion, the former scoring 2000 points in the five blocks played to Mayer’s 1394. The stipulation of the match was that Hoppe was to score 2000 before Maver put together 1500 in order to win. Fifty men will be kept in Prince- ton, N.

The judge was amused at the receipt of this information, but show- ed no sign of trying to do a “school boy” as a result. George Whitted, formerly of the Jacksonville and ' Boston clubs_ and now clean-up man with the Phillls, showed his appreclation to the Flor- ida fans, who Instituted a “Whitted day” Friday when the two Philadel- phia teams met, by lacing out a triple, single and sacrifice fly. Manager McGraw 1is well pleased with the work so far of “Lew” Wen- dell, catcher. “Wendell has the marks of a fine catcher,” says McGraw. “His style of throwing can’t be improved on. What's more, he is a boy who has made himself. I've watched him for three years now and he's devel- oped by having the determination to keep plugging.’ Benny Kauk, the new member of the Brookfeds, has started in to break down barriers surrounding ball parks in the same manner he did last sea- son, says the New York Press. In a spring training game the other day the former Hartford outfielder crack- ed out a home run and what makes it all the more meritorious is that the bases were full at the time. WILL ROW POMFRET. Roxbury Latin’s First Four Will Meet the Connecticut School Oarsmen. Roxbury Latin school's first four will have a one-mile race with Pom- fret school at Putnam, on May 15. This announcement was made Mon- day morning by William P. Dickey, faculty director of athletics at Rox- bury Latin school. The arranging of the rice is in keeping with the plaa to give each of the Schoolboy Row- ing association crews an opportunity to have competition before rowing in the annual regatta. Roxbury Latin has no other race in prospect, although one or two informal brushes with Browne & Nichols or one of the scrub crews at Harvard may be arranged. The makeup of the Roxbury Latin crews is unsettled, except that Captain Louis Howard will be a fixture at stroke. Robert Lane at 3 and George Noyes at 2 gained valuable experience on the second crew a year ago, Noyes at stroke and Lane at 3, and they may not be changed from the first crew. Edwarg Knott, a newcomer, is at pres- ent rowing bov but Dudley Pratt, sec- ond crew bow last year, may be given a trial on the first crew. George Guild is coxswain. Coach Willlam Haines of the Union Boat club, who handles the S_ R. A. oarsmen, intended to try some new oarsmen in the second crew last Friday but white caps In the Charles river basin prevented the launching of the shells. Bdmund Bil- lings at stroke and either Pratt or Knott lock like regulars. The remain- geles last Saturday, and they ran away from Ralph Glazes’ proteges of the University of Southern California, 84 2-3 points to 37 1-3. The track event times suggest bad conditions, as no exceptional records were made. In fact Howard Drew won the 100 and 220 yard dashes for U, S. C. in 10 4-5 seconds and 23 seconds. DIAMOND DUST. According to Boston scribes, Brick- ley is a promising candidate for the Harvard nine. He resists all inclina- tion to boot the ball. Billy Fish, a catcher, and Frank Fletcher, the former Syracuse infield- er, have been turned over to, Pitts- fileld by the Phillies. Tom McNulty, a New York scribe, wonders how the manager who traded a player for a dog prevented the fleas from jumping to the Feds. Benny Kauff didn’t land at the Polo grounds, but with the Brooklyn Feds he is so near New York that he should have no difficulty in appearing with the rest of the Broadway lights. “Any school boy could decide that baseball suit in three days,” & Danville ing members of the squad of seven teen are aspirants for the other seats. George Reld is second crew coxswain.
