DEFEATS KILLINGLY HIGH Brickley Held Visitors to One Hit for Six Innings—Score 14 to 1—Capt. Young Made Feature Catch—Crowe Shines at Bat—Second Team School Today. The Academy ball team had a swat- fest and picnic on bases in a one-sided same with Killingly High on the campus_Tuesday afternoon—score, 14 to 1. The visitors were without pep and mussed up things at times in a bad way. They were unable to score until the eighth, when they bunched two hits off Purvis and succeeded in crossing the plate. _Brickley started on the mound for N. F. A. and held the Killingly boys scoreless until the seventh, when he gave way to Purvis. In the seven innings “Brick” held the upstate boys to one scratch hit and fanned five. Purvis, a recruit pitcher with a roundhouse outcurve, seemed to puzzle the opposing batsmen, and he held them to two consecutive hits, gathered in the eighth, which netted Killingly’s only tally. On the bases the home team showed good speed and gtole six bases. Charlie Crowe took the ‘batting honors of the day in smashing out two safeties in three times at bat. In the first in- ning Captain Young made a great catch in running out to short right, catching a fly and doubling up on rst. Norton, pitching for Killingly, had the stuff on the ball, but put ‘em over too nice, and with his loose and sieve- like team was unable to do much. This afternoon on the campus the second team will play the Norwich Commercial team in the first game of their series. - The scor N F.

Just as New London fans were be- ginning to weep bitter tears of dis- appointment at the prospect of no regular baseball'at Plant field this year, along comes Manager H. Eugene McCann Tuesday morning with _the comforting announcement that within a day or two a meeting of the Eastern association will be held for the pur- Plays Norwich Commercial pose of discussing the situation, and the session may result in the formation of a six team circuit, some of the cit- ies, however, being different from those of 1914, Said Manager McCann: “Commodore Plant is desirous of having baseball in New London this season, and I feel justified in saying that New London Wwill meet any reasonable proposition in the way of formation of a league. President O'Rourke will probably call a meeting at once. CHALMERS SIGNS TWO YEAR CONTRACT WITH PHILLIES, Took Training Trip With Giants This Spring—Formerly Played With the Phillies. New York, April 20.—George Chal- mers today signed a new contract with the Philadelphia National league club, after receiving his unconditional re- lease last winter from that club, of which he had been a mémber for four years. Chalmers took the training trip with the New York Nationals this spring and from his pitching in the training camp he believes he has recovered his efficiency. Manager McGraw was un- able to sign Chalmers because of the 21-player limit and permitted him to return to the Phillies. In 1911 Chal- mers broke into the National league with Alexander and the pair nearly pitched Philadelphia into a pennart, injuries ultimately putting the club out of the race. Since then Chalmers has only shown flashes of his former ability. Feds Have Many Castoffs. More than 50 players discarded by the clubs in the National and Ameri- can leagues are drawing salaries from the Feds. A .study of the Federal league box scores last week was pro- ducitve of the following list: Brooklyn—Steve Evans, Hap Myers, Reed, Land and Delehanty. Buffalo — Hofman, Clyde, Engle, Blair, Krapp, McDonald and Bedient. Baltimore — Meyer, Duncan, Zinn, Owens, Bender and Walsh. Newark (Harrison) — McKechnie, Laporte, Schaefer, Scheer, Reulbach and Billiard. S{. Louis—Borton, Deal, Plank and Crandall. Chicago—Beck and Wickland. Pittsburgh—Mowrey, Lewis, Yerkes, and Knetzner. Kansas_ City — Stovall, Easterly, Bradley, Perring, Shaw and Maxwell. Three C’s Defeated Again. Once more have the Three C’s been defeated in their fight against the Eastern association, now composed of Bridgeport and New London. Presi- dent O'Rourke has received from the national commission a copy of the de- cision of that body in the appeal of Clarkin, Carey and Cameron from the decision of the national board In which the commission states that it FINANCIAL AND GOMMERCIAL MARKET CLOSED BUOYANT. After Several Hours of Hesitation and Uncertainty. New York, April 20—The stock market today reversed its course of the preceding session by closing with an almost bouyant tone after several hours of hesitation and uncertainty. Early restraints were found in the Rock Island receivership and further analysis of Chairman Cary's remarks to the United States Steel shareholde- rs, but these considerations were set aside in the final hour when a flood of fresh buying orders lifted the en- tire list, some important shares mak- ing new records for the movement. Although opening quotations show- ed a preponderance of gains the mar- ket denoted irregularity, this condi- tion becoming more acute as Rock Is- land shares and bonds began their pre- cipitate decline. The stock had fallen 13 points by midday, with severe loss- es in the underlying securities, while the balance of the list reflected gen- eral heaviness, The late rise began with a mome- ment in New Haven, that stock lead- ing the railway list. Later it spread to the investment issues and then to specizlties of the class recently neglected, including Bethlehem Steel, Wwhich rose 11 points. It reached its best when the coppers began to show activity, their rise being coincident with another anvance in the price of metal, the fourth in less than a week's time. Over three-fourths of a day’s trad- ing, which aggregated 1,250,000 shares. was transacted in the first and last hours, the intermediate period show- ing inactivity. New Haven's rise of seven points was accompanied by a gain.of 5 1-2 in New York, Ontario & Western which it controls. Rumors of an advantageous sale of the latter property were again current, but met with prompt denial. An unusual development in the for- eign situation was the heavy buying of “future” bills on London. These are to mature next summer and au- tumn and the assumption prevailed in well informed quarters that the contracts presage expectations of peace by thai period. Incidentally rates for exchange on Berlin and Vi- enna were firmer. Reduction of the dividend on the common stock of the May department stores recalled attention to the state of retail trade, but are otherwise with- out effect. Bonds were irregular, chiefly be- cause of the losses in Rock Island is- sues. Total sales, par value, aggre- gated_$6,250,000. U. S. bonds were unchanged on “sToCKs.

Through several seasons boss sack snatcher of the American circuit, and, seemingly, still as fast as he ever wa Tyrus Raymond Cobb refuses to be- come excited over, or even interested in, an apparent attempt by some of the baseball scribes to start a contro- versy and competition between the Georgian, Clyde Milan and Fritz Mai- sel. The latter was the 1914 champion cushion copper, Milan holds the lea- gue record, eighty-eight thefts, ac- complished in 1912, and Cobb was the champion until Milan nosed him_out, the Detroiters mark being eighty- three, secured in 1911. Maisel himself started the talk by announcing his intention of going af- ter Milan’s record this season, and by further stating that if he ever hits 300 he will thieve not less than 120 sacks, thereby setting a mark that may endure for all time. At the same time he got the backing of New York writers, who insist that from first to second, or from second to third, Mai- sel is a full step faster than Cobb or Milan. Maisel and Milan are base stealers of different schools. The New Yorker claims that second is much easier than third, remarking, airly, that “It's just a mattl of walking down and stopping at second base,” He also claims that the only time that he tab- bed his stealing percentage he snared fourteen out of sixteen cushions that he went after. Milan is a third base thiever, and believes his chances for making that sack are as good as for going safely from first to second. He does not steal it as often, of course, because he isn’'t on second as often as on first, and also because he is on second_frequently when the situation is much that an attempt to steal third would call forth managerial repri- mand, if not a fine. There is some interest in Maisel's statement that he will steal 120 bags if he ever hits .300. Last year he hit only .239, but he had 76 bases on balls, which must be figured in com- puting his chances to steal. Cobb, in his 88 steals year, hit .420. ~ Milan lan, when he set the record at eighty- eight was in the .300 list. On this dope it would seem that Maisel has a chance to pass the century mark, if he ever doe bat in the select circle. YALE LOOKS GOOD FOR EASTERN CHAMPIONSHIP. College Nines Will Start on Their 1915 Schedules This Week. This week will find the college baseball teams of the country taking up_their 1914 schedules in earnest, and from now until the championship games are finished in June the varsity and freshman nines will have a busy time of it. Most of the colleges have already played at least one game; but it is still far too early to get a very definite line on how the championship games are going to come out. Just now Yale appears to have the best prospects of getting the cham- pionship of the east. The Elis have a very strong aggregation, and the only position that does not appear to be well supplied with varsity mate- rial is the pichers box. This is the most important position on the nine and much of the team's success wil depend on how Coach Quinby is able to strengthen that department. In Way he has a fine pitcher, but there does not appear to be any strong sub- stitutes. Cornell has not opened her sched- ule very successfully, but Coach Sharpe may be depended upon to de- velop a strong team before the end of the season. Princeton has been meeting with fair success and the Orange and Black will make a strong try for a leading place. ‘ Brown and Dartmouth have just started their seasons and both prom- ise to' be up to their usual high stand- D ————————————————————— ards, especially the first named. Pennsylvania expects a strong team, although it does not give indications of being as strong as usual in the pitcher’s department. Amherst and Williams have not done over well on their southern trip; but as they had only a little outdoor work before go- ing south, it is hardly fair to judge them by the work done to date. Columbia, Syracuse and Tufts all appear to be up to standard with the tirst named making a splendid show- ing in her early season games. Connecticut preduces the highest class of manufactured product. The New “White” Adding Machine is the hest Adding Machine that the worid has ever seen. Johnson Starts for Spain.

Dally Optimistic Thought. A small sorrow distracts, a grea§ one makes us collected. Jess Willard is already tiring of all the honors being heaped on him for that big win in the Havana mill.
