Hartford, Conn.,, Sept. 10—Tommy Murphy had another big day in the final afternoon’s card of racing at the Grant Circuit meeting at Charter Oak park. He captured two first and a second money in the three races on the programme, as a follower to clean- ing up the card yesterday. For the first time since he bought the bay mare Lulu Lumine at a reported price of 12,500 almost two years ago, he managed to pilot her to a win, captur-. ing the 2.11 trot in straight heats, with Earlwood L. second in each instance. He also won the 2.15 trot with Tramp- wright in straight heats, while Walter Cox took the third race, the 2.14 pace, with Camelia, Hal S.; driven by Mur- phy, taking second money. Despite the fact that all three races went in_ straight heats, the larger and a Second Money at Grand PADDY GREEN WILL FACE SOUTHBRIDGE Moosup Confident of Capturing the Series.

Tom Con- nery ‘has been mentioned as a candi date for the Hartford franchise, Mike Finn for Springfield and at least three or four men for the New Haven fran- chise. But ball parks in these cities have wha yet been mentioned for fel- lows who are in: the run for franchises, and franchises rwithout ball parks are not very usefal, even in the Eastern association.

McIntyre will be FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL STOCK PRICES FLUCTUATED. International Situation Acted as a De- terrent to Speculation. New York, Sept. 10.—Latest aspects of the international situation, as sus- gested by Germany’s attitude in rela- tion to the sinking of the Arabic and Washington's demand for the recall of the Austrian ambassador, acted as the main deterrents to the speculative sentiment today. Stocks opened at moderate declines, but recovered al- most immediately, only to fall back agaln at midday. There they dangled listlessly ‘until the, final hour, when bearish activities and renewal of for- eign selling became effective to the extent of causing net losses of one to two points in investment issues, with greater losses in the volatlle special- es. Pursuing thelr usual course, war shares were inclined to new high flights. Bethlehem Steel made a max- imum advance of ten to the new rec- ord of 385, and General Motors Tose eight to 271, also a new high record, while Crucible Steel and Studebaker came within a fraction of the proxim- ity of their best quotations. Gains in this group were materially reduced or altogether lost before the close. An unusual but spasmodic feature was a revival of moderate interest in tobacco and express shares, the latter’'s strength being attributed to reports that the commerce commission may withdraw its recent order for an all- round reduction of carrying charges. United States _Steel held fairly steady at first, gaining _sentimental support from the flling of the decree of the federal court which absolved it from violation of the anti-trust laws. Later this advantagewas lost on pub lication of August tonnage figures showing a decrease of 20,000 tons in unfilled orders, together with the state- ment that the government intends to proceed with its prosecution of the cor- poration. As a whole, rallways denoted inter- mittent pressure and further selling of the same substantial character which followed the issuance of the ex- cellent crop report. Southern and southwestern issues fared rather better than other shares, although Missouri, Kansas and Texas common and preferred and Rock Island were distinctly heavy. Total sales amounted to 540,000 shares. Foreign exchange was again stimu- lated by the arrival of the Anglo- French financial delegation, demand sterling rising to 4.69. ‘Bonds were irreguiar, with reduced European offerings. Total sales, par value, aggregated $3,150,000. United States coupon and registereq threes declined one-quarter per cent. on call. STOCKS. Open. High Low.

FED LEADER TO REORGANIZE CIRCUIT. Walter 8. Ward Will Try to Stall Any Attempt of Eastern Association of Starting. It is reported that Walter S. Ward, backer of the Colonial baseball league, intends to reorganize the circuit short- ly and have everything ready for the 1916 season as early as possible. He probably wants to stall any attempt on the part of the Eastern association people to oy back” or comnsolidate with the New England league. It is figured that a consolidation of the Eastern association and New England league would mean sure death for, the Colonials, without, of course, the Colo- Dpial league is strengthened to such an extent as to make competition by the other leagues out of the question. Mr. Ward is quoted as saying the Coloni: league will stick and another season get the confidence and good will of the baseball fans in New England. figured Mr, Warq killed his lea season by letting Alexander Badnwart stick as the manager of the organiza- tion too long. When the Wards did get wise and let Bannwart go, the damage was done for this season. It is up to them to start everything new next season and they may get by with the Colonial league. But it is doubtgul if syndicate ball will ever amount to much in New England, where the fans are_comservative and have been used to having the clubs owned by differ- ent individuals and all fighting one another for the pennant. No one seemed to take any interest in the pennant chase in the Colonial league the past season and the possible pe; nant winner was hardly ever mention- ed. GIBBONS IN SLIGHT FAVOR OVER M'FARLAND. Much Interest Stimulated Over the Outcome of the Fight, New York, Sept. 10.—Although no championship is at stake, the 10-round bout between Packey McFarland of Chicago and Mike Gibbons of St. Paul is more talked of than any pugilistic event that has taken place here for 15 years. The men will meet at the Brighton Beach motordrome tomorrow night_and are to weigh in at 147 pounds tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock. The fact that the promoters of the bout have deposited 332,500 in the hands of the stakeholders has dispelled any doubts that may have existed as to the genuineness of the battle. Gib- bons is a_slight favorite, mainly be- cause he has been fighting regularly, while McFarland has not taken part in a ring battle for some time. His long absence from the has caused many to believe that the Chicago man cosore *5 g £ E ; 4 ERZE KH ge §2F ] §s§ to against the somewhat stronger west- ern clubs is the question that is now interesting followers of the game. WESTERNERS LEAD. California Players Increase Their Score Won Two Out of Three Contests. Forest Hills, N. Y., Sept. 10.—Cali- fornia players further increased their lead in the west vs. east matches, which began in San Francisco in July and will finish here tomorrow, when they won two out of the three con- sts played on the courts of the West de club this afternoon. T. R. Pell of New York was the only Atlantic coast player to score a vic- tory. He defeated Thomas C. Bundy of Los Angeles, 6-4, 2-6, 6-2, 3-6, 6-4. Maurice E. McLoughlin ‘of San Fran- cisco evened the score by winning from Karl H. Behr of Newark, 3-8, 6-2, §-2, and William M. Johnston and Clarence J. Griffin put the far western contingent into the lead by defeating R Norris Williams, 2d, of Philadelphia and Watson M. Washburn of New York in_the doubles match, 6-4, 6-2, 6-4. By the addition of today’s two vic- tories, the far coast experts raised their total wins to seven against the casterners’ two, and even though rep- resentatives of this section should win all three of Saturday's matches the count would still stand 7 to 5 in favor of the west. Although the -day was perfect for the players, theer was none of the brilliant court battling which marked the closing days of the nation- a championship tournament. In com- parison, the play was slow and lacked the keen racquet execution and clever generalship which was a feature of the titular contest. Almost all the sets the opposing racquet wielders played safe and conservative tennis, depend- ing more upon the errors of their op- ponents than ability to manoeuvre for :hpenlnll and winning placements ota. Mrs. Vanderbeck Survives Semi-Finals Shicago, Sept. 10.—Setting a record for long ‘distance golf, Miss Alexa Stirling of Atlanta, southern cham- pion, today took Mrs. C. H. Vander- beck, the Philadelphia expert, to the 22nd’ hole before succumbing in the semi-finals of the women's national golf tournament at Onwentsia club. Mrs. Vanderbeck's hard-earned vic- tory over the 17-year-old gzirl allows her to contest the final round tomorrow with Mrs. W. A Gavin-of Engla who eliminated Miss Ernestine Pea: the last Chicago contender, five and three. Blossom Wins Medal. Greenwich, Conn. Sept. 10.—F. R. Blossom, of Yale, won the medal in the qualifying -round for the inter- collegiate individual singles champion- ship over the links of the Greenwich Country club here today with a score of 153. He had rounds of 7S and 75. The total was one stroke better than the effort of Louis L. Bredin of Yale and John M. Simpson of Illinois. Accepts Plainfield’s Challenge. The St. Joseph's Croquet club ac- cepts the challenge of the Plainfleld club and they are willing to meet them at any opportune time. Answer through the Bulletin, SPORTING NOTES Larry Lajole has played every posi- ition in the infield for the Athletics. The Brooklyn Feds will try out Jiggs of New Bedford, Kiley of Brockton and other Colonial leaguers. Tillman of New Bedford, leading pitcher of the Colonial league, has signed with the St. Louis Americans. Probably Yale's garly September foot- bal practice wduld look more im- pressive on a site other than golf links. Unipire Finnell of the Colonial league has had hard luck. A foul ball broke his ccllarbone the last day of the season. Candidates for the Yal football eleven have been told “to go easy” on smoking, from now on so as to be ready to cut out the practice the 20th. reeds a bout or two in order to bring him up to a fight with & man of Gib- bons' calibre. Both men have trained carefully and earnestly and both will undoubtedly be down to the stipulated welight by tomorrow afternoon. " LEADERS SPEED AHEAD.
