Havana, April 6—Jess Willara and Jack Johnson, the two heavyweight pugilsts who made ring history here yesterday, are preparing to depart from Cuba. Willard, the new cham- pion, accompanied by a numerous par- ty, will leave for Key West early to- morrow morning, but where he will proceed from there whether to Jack- sonville, New Orleans or New York, had not been decided late tonight. Willard was tendered a dinner and reception by® the citizens of Havana this evening. The Cubans continue enthusiastic over the new champion and seemngly they cannot do enough for the former Kansas cowboy. Ev- erywhere Willard went today cheer- ing crowds followed him. Johnson remained in seclusion most of the day. It was reported that he was packing his belongings prepara- tory to leaving for Santiago tomorrow and proceeding thence to Jamaica. Johnson, however, denied this and de- clared that he would depart Thursday or Friday for the island of Martinique. He discharged his camp followers to- day. The big black says he no long- er is of interest to the public and de- sires to be left alone. He declared today that he wanted to go on a long sea voyage to some country where he is not known. The promoters of the fight today finished counting and dividing of the gate receipts of the fight. They an- nounced tonight that the battle drew into the box office $110,000 and that the attendance was 32,000. HOFMAN QUITS BROOKFEDS. Turns in His Uniform as a Result of a $10 Fine fof Cigaret Smoking. The first serious dissention in the ranks of the Brooklyn Federal League club came when Artie Hofman turned in his vniform to Manager Lee Magee after having been fined $10 for smok- ing a cigarette. By this action the utility player severed his connection with the cIvb. “Of course, if T so desire,” sald Ma- gee, “I vould go through with the breaking of Hofman’s fontract; but I shall defer my decision until we get back to PErooklyn and there have a talk with Robert B. Ward. _ “The fine imposeq on Hofman was a just one inasmuch as he as well as every one else in the club knew just what they could expect if they broke any o fthe rules which were lald down when we first arrived in camp” PLAINFIELD BASEBALL ASSO.

Bethlehem Steel Was One of the Cen- tral Features, Closing at 94 1-2. New York, April 6.—In the face' of further heavy foreign and domestic selling, today's stock market soared to new heights, though closing with slens of irregularity. The various cross currents and conflicting factors so long Dprevalent were again in evidence, es- pecially among the high priced special- ies. Reading, Union Pacific, Northern Pacific, New York Central and some of the southern lines were strong at times, but the movement in the rail- way division was hardly uniform. As for the industrials and allied stocks, the early rise embraced the usual mo- tor shares, equipments and half a score other issues of obscure origin. Dethlehem Steel was one of the cen- tral features, rising to 94 1-2, a new high record, soon after the opening, but declining to §8 1-4 later, when it Wwas _seen that no action regarding a dividend disbursement would be taken at the annual meeting of the share- holders. United States Steel came Wwithin a fraction of its high price of the previous day, but yielded with the general list. Amalgamated Copper’s strength and that of other metal issues was directly traceable to the higher prices demand- od by producers because of the in- crease in home and foreign demand. War orders figured in the higher movement of the other industrials, in- cluding American Locomotive, and last Weel’s trade figures, showing a bal- ance of $22,000,000 in favor of this country, also entered into general cal- culations. Bankers were figuring on a British credit and arrangements were under consideration for additional gold im- ports from Canada, but these develop ments failed of reflection in the mar- kets for foreign exchange, where trad ing failed to rise above nominal pro- portions. London’s market for Amer- icans was higher in spots and sales of our stocks for tnat account here prob- ably amounted to 30,000 shares. Total sales of stocks amounted to 625,700 shares, The only railway return for Febru- ary submitted today was that of the Great Northern system, showing a net increase of $758,000. Bonds were featureless, with an ir- regular tendency. Total sales, par value, aggregated $2,589,000, Panama twos declined one-half per cent. on call. STOCKS.

L. pr Boebuck HARTFORD TO BE LEFT OUT OF NEW ORGANIZATION According to Latest Information From Men in Charge. According to the latest information| from the men in charge of recon- structing_the Eastern Baseball asso- clation, Hartford will not be repre- sented in the league when the season starts. Some of the men who were anxious to get the Hartford franchise a few weeks ago were talking about building a _diamond at Charter Oai rark and Jack Zeller of the circuit committee looked into this matter. It was reported recently that the commit- tee will recommend leaving Hartford off the baseball map this season. It is too late now to build a satisfactory baseball plant and Clarkin has re- fused to sub-lease the Hartford grounds because of stubbornness. This will mean the end of Clarkin in baseball in Hartford as a team man- aged by him now would not draw any better than his office building, for the circuit committee found most of the rooms vacant. ‘Witn Hartford the circuit will six clubs, New out of the league, probably consist of Haven, Bridgeport, Pittsfield, New London, Springfleld and Waterbury. If the Hartford grounds could be secured there would be no trouble in placing a team in the town and getting sufficient back- ing for it. It is possible that Clarkin learned the views of the committee and that is why he is so anxious to be represented in the pony or phony circult proposed by George M. Cam- eron, with baseball reporters as of- ficers. This scheme of the former owner of the New Haven franchise is dubbed by the Hartford Times as “cheap baseball” and it has not met with favor in any of the towns men- tioned as available for teams except| Winsted. The latter place is sald to be strong for the proposed league for if a club was placed there Jerry Con- nell would be the manager. It is not known who Mr, Cameron left Plainville out of his circuity This place is the home of his brothde-in- laf, Jim Murphy, it has a fine hotel, the Clarendon, a post office, soldiers' monument and one of the few honest blacksmiths left in the state. Plain- ville should fit in well with such a circuit and it is said that Jim Murphy is quite peeved because George over- lcoked his town. Mr. Murphy _con- ducts the principal business in Plain- ville There is no newspaper there, but such a league would not need a newspaper. All it would need would be a quick burial, BROWN UNIVERSITY NINE HAS BRIGHT PROSPECTS Pitching Staff Looks to Be One of Un- usual Strongth—Season Opens With R. I. State College. (Special to The Bulletin,) Providence, R. . April 6—Playing the R. I State College tomorrow, the Brown University nine opens its sea- pects. There are seven veterans, last years star infleld being intact ex- cept at second base, where the gap will bo filled by Bill Murray, a form- er Dean Academy star. The pitching staff now looks to be one of the strongest that has represented the uni- versity. Donovan, the new backstop, leaves little uncertainty as to the catching_department- Only one posi- tion, right fleld, is causing Coach Pat- tee any worry. The other two outfield pesitions will probably be held down by the veterans, Dike and Ormsty. The varsity squad of sixteen men has been kept in town for daily practice during the Spring recess, and should be in fine shapre to start its schedule of twenty-five games. The schedule is unusually 800d, and is featured by two contests with Darthmouth, the first since the rupture of 1907. For the first time, & good schedule of twelve games has been arranged for the second team, which will be organized this week. SLUGGER OF FEDERAL LEAGUE SIGNS THREE YEAR CONTRACT. Benny Kauff Receive Highest Salary on Tip Top's Payroll. Benny Kauff, the leading hitter of the Federal league has signed a three-year contract with the Tip Tops. Although it was not stated what the figures were, it was said Benny was to roceive the highest salary on the, Wards' payroll. Magee iz understood to have offered Kauff several contracts to sign since ke came into camp last Sunday, but each failled to meet the plavers' de- mands After Benny had signed he showed some of the players offers that he had received to jump back to or- ganized baseball. These called for more money than he was paid By the Indianapolis club. There is & report current that Nick Cullop, the scuthpaw who was traded to the T'p Tops, Will have to tturn to Kansas City. Injunction Sought by Cubs. Chica~o, April 6—An injunction to prevent Pltcher George McConnell from playing with the Chicago Federals with ‘whom he has just signed, proba- Dbly will be sought by the Chicago Na- tional club, according to President Thomas. Mr. Thomas ‘said today $3,000 had been spent by the Chicago National League club on McConnell; $2500 of, which was paid to the Buffalo Inter- nationals for him and $500 in railroad fares and training expenses. Mr. Thomas complains that McCon- nell refuses to ascertain what offer would be made by him by the Kansas City Assoclation club to which he was released by Chicago Nationals, Coonies Challenge The fast Coonies would like to se- cure a few sames this season. They would like to hear especially from ‘Willimantic, Baltic, Taftville and Norwich Town. Ray Counihan a newly developed star will do a good part of the twirl- ing, gaining much popilarity from his successful seasons at Broadway ‘Grammar school. This year will make his fourth suec- cessive captaincy of the Broadway squad. % | Champion Braves Walloped Greensboro New York, April 6. — Call money steady; high 2 1-2 low; 1 8-4; ruling rate 2; last loan 2 1-2; closing bid offered at 2 1-2.

Kauff led the Federal League last season with a batting av- erage of .36 and also topped the baserunners with 75 steals. Steve Bvans finished jusht behind the cha; pion batsman last season with .355. Anderson, a brilllant youngster from ‘Wilkes-Barre of the New York State League, finished with an average of .510 in his first season against major league pitching. Although the’ infleld is a bit below the standard of the outfleld, the pres- ence of Magee and the spirit which he has made a big factor in the Brook- feds' preliminary training may count for somethine substantial in the infield even without the aid of players now being bought.
