Although Bill Carrigan won the world's championship, it is reported he will not be with the Red Sox in the spring. Bob Shawkey, former pitcher of the Athletics, who was shifted to the Yan- kees last summer by Connie Mack, did not show anything like his former ability, but his friends say that he will be right in the thick of the battle next season. Branch Rickey, aggressive leader of the St. Louis Browns, insists that Earl Hamilton, the star southpaw, and Sam Agnew, the veteran backstop, will not be traded, which probably means that Earl and Sam will be that bait at the American league meeting. Backfield football players still hold their ascendency when it comes to se- lecting captains for the gridiron ma- chines. Out of thirty-one leaders elected to head the big college teams of next fall, cighteen have been nam- ed from men who have won _ their ‘varsity letters while playing behind the scrimmasge line. Heine Groh, crackerjack third base- man of the Cincinnati Reds, declares he will never again_wear a Red uni- form as long as Charley Herzog is manager. “I won't play for a manager who feels so much above me that he Wwon't stop at the same hotel with me,” Groh writes to a friend in Uxnard, Cal. “I'm through with Cincinnati unless Herzog is put out.” Charles (Cy) Rigler, one of the Na- tional league’s best umpires, who has been seriously ill with typhoid fever for the last seven weeks, has won his battle with that dreaded disease, and now is well on his way to recovery. He lost 38 pounds, but because of his wonderful physique it is expected he will not be long in reaining the miss- ing poundage. Josh Devore, former big leaguer and termed the luckiest man in baseball, is to try his luck again next year, this time ‘with the Philadelphia Nationals. Devore managed the Chillicothe club of the Ohio State league last season. Bris Lord, former star outfielder of the Athletics. has been deposed as manager of the Memphis club of the Southern league. Randolph Start will be his successor. Gilmore Dobie, the University of ‘Washington football coach, ‘whose eight-year gridiron reign at Seattle titlon was not marred bya single de- feat. would be an acceptable head to the ‘coaching staffs of several eastern and middle western colleges. The in- tersectional games this autumn have done much to increase the impression smongz football followers that gridiron prowness is not confined to the cam- pus of the Arlantic coast and the mid- 1o west. The Lwo St. Louls teams are going o slash early, it having been agreed tnat the first game of the spring se- ries letween these rivals be plaved March 25 at St. Louls, of course. By tis time it will be all a matter of condition as to which team will win, and as both Huggins and Rick- ey are certain to put forth their best efforts there is danger of both teams putting themselves out of the running for the real campaign by forcing the players too early in the spring. Officials of the National Tennis as- soctation are highly gratified with the financial repart of the year including its net profits of almost $16,000 for the first national championship tourna- ment held outside the Casino courts of Newport. Now that the stands used for the David Cup matches of 1914 and the titular tourney this sea- son are entirely paid, for the net gate receipts at the 1916 championships should establisk a new recora if the contests are held in either New York, Chicago, or Philadelphia. Frank J. Carroll of Windsor Locks has signed with the Glanfs. During the summer months Carroll made a favorable impression by his playing third base and was sent to Toronto, whera he man an excellent record. He 18 the only member of over a dozen recrufts the Giants have retained. At presént Carroll is a third-year medi- cal student at Fordham, where he stands well up in Bfs classes. Accord- ing to Secretary” Foster, he was the Jast member of the Giants to sign his name 1o & contract and will be kept ‘with the team all year. PLAINFIELD the “Champs” Won Out Plainfield soccer football team, win- mers of The Bulletin cup in both sea- sons of 1914-15, added another victory to their in defeating the Goodyear club at Willlamsville Saturday by the score of 3 to 2. The season will close next week, when the Goodyear club and Plainfield meet in the final game at Plainfieid. The victorious eleven of this season went through the season with only one defeat chalked up against them, having won seven games. The field Saturday was in a poor condition to play football and the game was weird at many instances. During the first half of play Plainfield suc- ceeded in scoring twice, while= the Goodyear team failed to get the ball through the posts. Greenhalgh scored Plainfield’s two goals. The visitors played a superior class of football during the first half than the home team. In the second half Goodyear came back strong and scored twice, but Underwood scored another goal for Plainfield, which ended the scoring and left Plainfield the winner. Greenhalgh and_Underwood plaved good football for Plainfield and were the big factors in _its victory. The standin; Team. Played. Won. Lost. Points. Plainfield . [ 1 12 Taftville Goodyear .

Plainfleld had a league game scheduled with SATURDAY’S MARKET. o Irregular at Prices Were Extremely the Opening. New York, Dec. 11.—Not the least interesting feature of today’s short session was the fact that it marked the first anniversary of the resump- tion of dealings on the stock ex- change, after the enforced closur of virtually four and a_half months due to the outbreak of the European war. There was this added difference, how- ever, that when business was resumed a year ago trading was on a very re- rtcited and limited basis. Today every part of the stock and bond list was open to full and free operation. More- over, many issues altogether unknown last year have since leaped into traordinary prominence. Prices were extremely irregular at the opening. U. S. Steel fell 3-8 to 85 3-1, and Canadian Pacific declined 1 3-4 to 178, while war shares were fractionally lower. A demand for rail- way shares, with New York Central leading the movement, soon restored losses and substituted general gains. New York Central rose 2 1-4 to 105 1-4 in connection with rumors that the dividend rate was soon to be increased. Other features of strength in that group included Norfolk and Western, New Haven, Union Pacific and the trunk lines.” Specialties, particularly automobile stocks, Texas company Mercantile Marine pfd. and some of the more conspicuous war issues, re sponded to the zeneral forward move- ment, with some shading from top prices at the close. Total sales amount- ed to 297,000 shares. Anglo-French war bonds were slight- ly firmer and representatives of banking syndicate expressed their d approval of the recent selling for fu- ture delivery. The usual week-end budget of trade news was all of a fa- vorable character. President Wilson's views on business, as expressed in his Columbus speech, were one of the heratening features of the day. London was a moderate seller in this market, but offerings from that quar- ter were freely absorbed. Exchange on London was slightly lower on nom- inal selling of bills. Continental ex- change again reflected the conflicted conditions at those centers of finance. The bond market was irregular, with no_especial feature. Total sales (par value) aggregated $2,130,000. U. 'S. coupon 4s declined cent. on call during the week. 5-3 per Sales 100 Adams Express Alask Gold M Alaska Juneau Allis Chalmers . Hido & Leather H &L pr Tee Sec. Linseed Linsced Loeomo.

Yale lost to Haverford's soccer team by a score of 2 to 1 at New Haven on Saturday afternoon, and Haverford stepped a_little nearer the champion- ship. If Haverford can defeat Penn- sylvania in the final game of the sea- son the honors will go uncontested, for by Saturday's defeat of Yale Hav- erford took the lead over Pennsylva- nia by a single point. Wind helped Yale in the first half, when Elwood scored the only Blue goal while Haverford took better advantage of this element in the second period and tallled twice. The lineup: HAVERFORD YALE J.

Danielson, Dec. 12.—Kjllingly High school won its first game in the Quin- ebaug Balley basketball league by de- feating Bartlett high school of Weh- ster, 41 to 19, in the town hall hero turday evening. The visitors had £00d team, but very probably made a poorer showing than would have heen the case had they not become ir- ritated because they zot the impres- sion that the neutral referee was call- g foul too frequently. The visitors have a =zood team, but suffered in this particuar game because they did not exclusively devote their attention to an endeavor to win it.

If the present plans of the direc- tol of the Saratogza Racing associa- on do not miss fire, the American Spa promises to give the greatest rac- ing meeting in 1916 in the history of the track. It is estimated that close to $300,000 will be hung up for horse owners during the twenty-s! (calcu- lated) days of racing which will make up the season at the Spa next year. It was at Saratosa that the Re- public stakes—the idea of the late W. C. Whitney—was first run off. This race was the richest turf event in America, with the exception of the Futurity, ~Mr. Whitney intended to make it the most valuable turf feature in_the world. Each_year since racing was resumed at the Spa the directors have increased the value of the stakes. The Hopeful stakes and the other events which re- cently closed to entries have received record-breaking entries. The Hopeful stakes will be worth close to $20,000 in 1916, the Futurity alone surpassing it in value. The citizens of Saratoga will sub- scribe largely to the stakes for next season. It has been the vearly custom for Saratogans to donate to the stake features, but next year they have promised Secretary Ehrlocker to dou- ble their subscriptions for the racing fund. Wehn racing was_stopped in_this state Saratoga was the chief sufferer. Since the race horse has come back Saratoga has fairly bloomed. In recog- nition of what the thoroughbred has done for Saratoga the citizens have promised to come forward and make the racing at the Spa worth while. Baseball Practically Assured. Big Nine conference baseball for the season of 1916 is practically assured, according to Albion 'W. Small, newly elected president of the Conference Faculty committee. The veto by the senate of the Uni- versity of Illinois on the baseball abo- lition “resolution passed bp the com- mittee last week referred it back for the committee’s reconsideration before a final vote on the proposal may be taken by the universities. The com- mittee’s next regular session comes in June, and. as Dean Small said he md! not expect to call a special meeting for | the reconsideration final action by the universities is not probable before the end of the baseball season. GRENDA AND HILL WIN SIX DAY BICYCLE RACE Capture Contest After Sensational Fin. ish—Tallied 39 Points. Alfred Grenda and Fred Hill, com- posing the American-Australian team, won the six-day bicycle race which ended at 10 o'clock Saturday night at Madison Square Garden, New York. Then won the contest after one of the most sensational finishes ever seen in a long bike race in this countrp. They did the best riding and were awarded first honors, but did not score the least points, which ordinarily would have given them first pjlace. They tallied 39_points. Reggie McNamara and Bog Spears, forming the Kangaroo team, did best in the point getting, but they were penalized 11 points for foul riding. They actually scored 33 points, but with their penalty, their score jumped to 44 points and put them in second place. Jake Magin and Percy Lawrence of the Inter-State team and Lloyd ‘Thomas and Martin Ryan of the Cal- ifornia-New Jersey team tied for third place with 75 points each. Oscar Egg and Marcel the Swiss-French team, with S4 points. Eaton and Madden were sixth, with 97; Moran and Wal- thour seventh with 93; Hanley and Halstead eighth, with 117; Drobach and Corry ninth, with 130; Seres and Linart tenth, with 151, and Hansen and Mittem eleventh, with 158 points. The winners traveled 2,700 miles and 8 laps during the six days, smash- ing all world’s recorls by 10 miles and 6 laps. Columbi Dupuy, of re fifth, s Handbal nounced. Further plans for the Intercollegi- ate Handball league, including a ten- tative schedule were announced Sat- urday by Dr. George L. Meylan, di- rector of physical education at Colum- bia, who is responsible for Columbia’s joining the league with Yale, Prince- ton and Rutgers. Ever since Columbia and Yale plaved a dual game in 1904 Dr. Meylan has been endeavoring to have the sport introduced into the colleges as a part of the athletic cur- riculum, and although he is not the originator of the new league, his sup- port of the game prepared the way for it. According to the tentative list of dates which has been drawn up the league season begins on Feb. 18 when Yaie will play Columbia in New York. In all there will be ten games, each team meeting the other teams in the league twice, with the last game on March 18 The schedule of the new league is as follows: _Feb. 18, Yale vs. Columbia, at New York: Feb. 19, Rutgers vs. Princeton, at Princeton; Feb. 25, Princeton vs. Yale, at New Haven: Rutgers vs. Co- lumbia, at New York. March 3, Columbia vs. Princeton, at Princeton;’ March 4, Columbia vs. Rut- gers at New Brunswick; March 10, Yale vs. Princeton, _at Princeto farch 11, Yale vs' Rutgers at New unswick: March 17, Columbia vs. Yale, at New Haven; March 18, Princeton vs. Rutgers, at New Bruns- wick. Schedule An- OLYMPICS WIN. field Soccer Team Blanks Jewett City. (Special to The Bulletin.) Plainfield, Dec. 11.—The Plainfield Olympics defeated Jewett City at foot- ball Saturday on the Lawton Height grounds by a score of 4-0. The Plain- field boys completely outclassed the Jewett City team from start to finish. A number of former stars of the old Plainfield football team were seen in the local lineup. A notable feature was the manner in which W. Ridings and Jodoin refereed the contest. Reasons Why Fulton Has a Chance. In setting forth his belief that Fred Fulton, the Minnesota giant, is sure to beat Jess Willard, Fulton's man- ager gives 16 reasons for thinkink his man will vanquish the champion, as foliows: 1. He is as fast on his feet as a lightweight. 2. He can outbox any heavyweight in the business. 3. He has a straight heavyweight of the p block. 4. If necessary he can dance around left that no esent time can any heavyweight in the business for an_ hou: 5. He has a knockout punch in either hand He has 29 clean knockouts to his credit. He never had a black eye or bloody nose. 8. He is a Scotch-Irish parentage. 9. His height is six feet four and one-half inches. 10. His reach is 84 1-2 11. His weight is inches. 220 pounds. 12. He is 23 years old. 13, He is an all-round athlete. 14. He never chewed, smoked or drank. 15. He is positively sure no man in_the world can beat him. 16. On the 14th of M 1915, he beat with ease Jess Williard, present champion of the world, and knccked him down in the second round: some- thing Jack Johnson couldn't do in 26 rounds. Zysbszko Leads Big Tourney. Considering the caliber of the men he has beaten, Viadek Zbysko, _the Polish Hercules, has made the best record of any of the leaders in the international wrestling tournament at the Manhattan opera house. Zbyszbo, since the tourney started three weeks ago, has ten victories, no defeats and only one draw chalked against him. The draw was with Charley Cutler, and the Pole wiped that out by beat- ing the Chicago Appollo recently in a finish contest. Takes Sensible Move President Maier of the Vernon club of the Pacific Ccast league has taken a sensible move In the cases of Bert Whaling and Herb Morgan who were turned over to the club by the Braves in_ exchange for Outfielder Wilhoit. ~ Whaling said he would not play with Vernon unless made man- ager, and Moran also expressed dis- satisfaction. President Maier has in- formed both they could have his per- sion to make deals that would shift them to whatever clubs they pleased to go. It is believed Whaling vill tie up with the Federals, while Mo- ran’s hope is to land with some or- ganized club in the eastern part of the country. OBITUARY. Mrs. James Donohue. Willimantic, Dec. 12— Mary, widow of James Donohue, died early Sundap morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. John Moran; of No. 74 Quercus avenue. She was a native of Ireland, 74 vears of age, and had been a resident of this city for a con- siderable number of years. Besides Mrs. Moran, she is urvived by another daughter, Mrs. John Cronin of Baltic. Arrangements for the Phillies’ spfing training trip and the schedle of games are in the hands of Business Manager Shettsline. It is probable that the team will start south at a later date than they did this past season, but they will also start north later. BELL-ANS Absolutely Removes Indigestion.
