High School Team Bulletin Sporting Editor Selects the Two Best Teams From Eastern Connecticut High Schools in Pursuance of Us- ual Customs. bt The task of picking the best team ot the teams representing the five high school in the eastern part of the state this fall was no easy one. The Academy had a good team, as did Bulkeley and Windham. The Voca- tional team was hardly in a class with the others and Stonington was very much below the standard set by the teams of Mawson's day. The selecting of the rush line of the team was a comparatively easy matter compared to the selection of the backfield. All of the teams seem- ed to have good backs. Mallon of Bulkeley is given the quarterback’s berth on account of his ground gain- ing ability. Added to this his good generalship and there is no equal on the list. Zellar of Stonington is given second place because of his brilliant open fleld work. Brewer of Norwich was a good gainer, but lacks exper- jence. Of the list of halbacks Stearns of Vocational and Tucker of Windham are given the first places, as they were undoubtedly the two best half backs in this part of the state. Spicer had a shade on his teammate Mur- phy, of Bulkeley, and while Bennett of the Academy scored more than ‘Eastwood, Eastwood has more weight and has the handy knack of kicking goals. Whitcomb of Bulkeley was the best full back and Jesse Wilcox of the Academy was a close second. Both these men specialized in prov- ing through the line. The wing positions are easily de- cided, going to Oat of Norwich and Sullivan of Bulkeley. Oat proved him- self a wonderfully fast man both in the forward pass game and covering punts. He also developed .into a skillful kicker from placement and from the field. Sullivan of_ Bulkeley the Academy Nemesis, being es- lly effective on the short base- ball pass over the line. Robinson and Fitch get the second string positfons and on any squad they would run the first string men a close race. The tackle positions go to Feeley of Bul- keley and XKoslowski of Norwich. Those who have seen them in action need no comment. Costello of Wind- ham played a good game and 'Tirrel, aithough light, was a game = = player. The guard positions are awarded to R. 'Wilcox of the Academy and Rose of Windham. Both men were very strong defensive players and sure tacklers. O'Neil of Balkeley und Geison of Vocational get the oth- er places. The two center positions g0 to New Londoners: Babbidge of Bulkeley and Lyle of Vocational. Neither one was of marked ability, al- though both played a good game. The lineup of the first and second teams shows three N. F. A. men on the first team and three on the sec- ond. Bulkeley had the largest num- ber of men, having five on the first eleven - and three on the second. Windham Thad only two men om_ the first team and twe on the second. Captain Stearns of Vocational was placed on the first team and two of his teammates on the second. Poor Stonington had only one man in the squad and he was on the second team. In selecting the captains the awards 20 unhesitatingly to Mallon and Zel- lar. Both men led their respective teams in 1917 and both play quarterback, the ideal position for a ecaptain to play.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERGIAL MARKET WAS BULLISH Made So By Announcement of Fed- eral Control of the Railroads. New York, Dec. 27.—The stock mar- ket was thrown into a riot of bullish enthusiasm today by the unexpected news of forthcoming federal control of the railroads. Standard rails rose 5 to 18 points during the more active advance of the forenoon and industrials later became prominent at gross gains of 3 to 6 points under lead of United States Steel. Evidently the terms and conditions aiready announceq in connection with this unprecedented action are far more reassuring to investors and railway interests than was generallv expected. The constructive features embodied in the plan were helpful to other is- sues, including the wide range of in- dustrials, war equipments and allied specialties, as well as utilities. Wail Street believes all lines of in- dustry are sure to derive substantial benefits from the physical improve- ment and maintenance of the trans- portation systems to which the gov- ernment now is committed. From the very outset'today’s mar- ket swept the bears off their feet in the wild scramble to cover contracts. | In spite of restrictions against spec- ulation, there existed an extensive short interest whose ‘“paper profits melted in the comprehensive advance. Final, prices in important stock. were one to two points under maxi- mums, but the net result was the most | heartening since the beginning of the long sustained decline. Total sales amounted to 1,150,000 shares. Bonds of low grade railroads rose two to eight per cent, investments gaining one to two. International bonds hardened moderately. Liberty 4's sold at 97 t0.96.86 and the 3 1-2's at 9850 to 98.36. Total bond sales, par_ value, $6.550,000. U. S. bonds, old issues; unchanged on. call. i 8TOCKS. Sales. 300 Adv. Rumely 100 Adv.

Carney, Editor National Sports Syndicate. One of ‘our very best and biggest trapshooters 'is Lester German. Les- ter, be it known, hails from' Aber- deen, Md., is a professional, and tips the beam at about 250 pounds. Before taking to trapshooting as_a business German was a baseball pitch- | er and twice twirled Memphis into Southern League pennants before the New York Giants plucked him. It was while with the Giants—some .20° years ago that Lester left the na- tional e flat on_its back and took to the trapgun. He has been even more successful breaking tar- gets than ‘he was hurling the base- ball. And if you care to look up his ‘baseball record you will Sdmlt that is -u'lng a:great deal. German has - traveled '-be Eastern states year in.and year out. shooting at” from 5900 to 10,000 targets yearly. under al] sorts of. conditioms, and has always averaged better than 95 per cent. .By reason of his ability to smash ‘the targets he is better known as “Long Run” German, His best feat ‘was his run of 372 at the Westy Ho- t three years ago. In this shoot, too, he broke 499x500 and 647 out of 650-—all records. His shooting in 1917 has been up to his general average—maybe a shade better. He had straight, of which ter ‘than 75 100, 4 better 150, and one better than 176. His high run - was 180. Eight of these runs were unfinished. German's runs of 50 or better and the cities in ‘which th:y ‘were shot are: herewith appended: Date. Place. April 4—Denton, Md. i !that Arkansas battle 89— 331! Fulton, Md BT R. 1 R L Md Conn. Coun.

Too little credit is given to one man who shines in many boxing bouts held in this state. Red Rorty ,announcer. deserves more than the mere mention that he did the shouting at such-and- such an exhibition. Red is withont question, champion, champion an- nouncer of Connecticut. In spite of the fact that Chic Brown's manager, Lew Brown, offers to give $100 to charity if it can be proven that his protege insuited Cham- pion Benny l.eonard during their fight in New Haven, by calling him a_“dir- ty” Jew, there are those who stiil in- sist they heard the remark passed. Grover- Cleveland Alexander would undoubtedly .be a big attraction on he U. B. O. or any other circuit, but the $10.000 offer to travel the vaude- lle route while resting up for base- ball f2iied to arouse his interest. Gro- ver wants $10,000 of the money paid to purchase him from Philadelphia, and he’s going to try hard to get it. Fred Fulton’s disgracefu] conduct in Tate, gives Jess Willard opportunity to impose more severe restrictions to govern a possible bout between them. because of his fouling. has lost all of the sympathy that has ex- isted for him since he first offered to fight Willard for the benefit of the Red Cross. John W. Overton of. Yale university sensation of the nitional senior -i jdoor championships of the Amateur Athletic union, is one of the numerous athletes that answered the call of his country against Germany. No bright- er star of the cinder paths than Over- ton was ever developed in this coun- try. It is said that Overton s in love with his new. work and gives promise of being as great a success in the fight for world democracy as he was while sporting the spiked shoes and airy trunks.
