S. A. in Second Round at. Athletic Camival at St. Aignan - — Crowd of More Than 10,000 Witnessed Bout and Games—American Was at His Best in First Round When He Showed Up Favorably Against Gallic Champ. | New York, May 28—That Georges Carpentier; the French heavyweight, has not lost his punching or boxing skill g as a result of his three vears’ servide in the army was conclusively demonstrated recenfly at the expense of an American boxer who took ring liberties with the French pugilist. It Wwas Sergeant Ray William of the American Army who tried to rough it with Carpentier in the first round of a boxing exhibition at St. Aignan, Lboir-et-Cher. As a result William was knocked out in the second round and the memory of that right swing to the chin will linger in Sergeant Will- iam’s memory for years to come. A crowd of more than 10,000 ‘wit- nessed. the athletic sports at StAig- nan. General Cottez of ‘the French army presided, with Brigadier Gen- erals Alexander and .Volruth of the American army assisting. After An- derson had woh the hundred vards in 12 seconds, the 220 in 28 and Steele had broken the tape for the mile race in 5.34 minutes, 4 four round, or rather what was to have been a four round boxing exhibition, was put oh with the French champion Georges Carpentier and Sergeant Ray William as the contestants. Cheered by his friends among the spectators William started in with a rush that nearly took the French champion off his feet, he planted some heavy blows to the head and body and Carpentier was surprised: he had expected a mere spirring exhibition. William had the best of the first round and was loudly applauded as he went to his corner. Tt was plain to all that Carpentier meant business when he stepped out for the second round. He feinted iam into a knot.. jabbed him ightly in the stomach with his left which caused the American to lower his guard and crossed him right to the chin and William went down and The round had lasted ten sec- shook hands with Carpentier and said: “I got mine, T am satisfied,” Tater he ex- plained to a friend that he under- stood now why they spelled it “Georges”’: “There are so many of him,” he said.

Ashland hav- ing won four straight, looks best, but the All-Norwich aggregation say that théy are coming up to win and break their losing streak. About 200 fans will accompany the Norwich team and make things lively for the locals. For Sunday’s ‘game Van ke will ‘pitch and Chase will catch for Ash- land.

" (Special to The Bulletin) Putnam, May 28.—Monday afternoon the P. H. S. baseball team again de- monstrated its superiority over the State Trade School on the High School field by a score of 15-9. Only in one inning did the Trade School show any real baseball and that was the sixth ‘when the High School coach. endeavor. ing to save Maher's strength for the Southbridge game Wednesday sub. stituted Mansfield who had been out of the game for several weeks, and a combination of walks errors and two hits brought the Trade School up to nine runs, with the exception of this inning they showed Very poor baseball ability with the exception of Clemens who pitched a hard and steadily im- proving game. Donlon worked hard and gave h fine support. At all times throughout the game, Maher held his opponents at his mercy, and in the ninth inning he clinched his own game by driving out a three base hit scoring two runs. Woodson held all men on first and there was practical- ly no stedling. Putnam batting did not come up to average in spite of fifteen hits and- the loss of Dobson's bat was keenly felt. Putnam showed some improvement on the inside of | FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL MARKET WAS UNSTABLE. Rails Were Strong, But There Was Pressure Against Industrials. New York, May 28.—The strength of ra’is and renewals of pressyre against industrials and specialties .were_ the shatply defimed features 6f today's: ac- tive but unstable stock market. These divergent movements were regarded. as the direct result of such recent developments as’ the railroad rate increase and the government's proposed taxation programme, the lat- ier bearing most heavily upon war shares and kindred issues. Over all, however, hung the foreign situation, bulletins from the western battle front contributing scattered liquidation and giving further encour- agement to the short interest. . Selling was at its height just be- fore noon, when steels, equipments and speculative issues as a whole reacted two to five points, Sumatra Tobac- co mak‘ng a sheer descent of almost eleven points. On the incteased activity of the last hour prices rallied sharply, in some instances showing actual gains: as against the severe reverlals of the forenoon. U. S. Steel closed at a loss of a mominal fraction, Sumatra made up the greater part of its loss and rails were at their best. Sales amount- ed to 950,000 shares. More stringent conditions prevailed in ‘the money market, presumably in anticipation of the heavy shifting of loans due to the .20 per cent. payment on third Liberty issue. Ttalian ex- change experienced another slump with lires at the new minimum of 9.16 for demand bills. 3 Bonds of various classes were in- clined to ease, Liberty 2nd 4's at 94.26 and the 4 1-2's at 97.20 - establishing new low records. the 3 1-2's (tax ex- empt) also reacting. Total sales (par value) aggregated $8,600,000. U. S. old 2's and 4's rose 1-2 cent. on call. per STOCKS. Sales.

Shepard of Portland, one of the stars on the football eleven of Trinity this year, has left college and. has entered the United States| Marine Corps. This was Shepard’s first year at Trinity and he proved to be one of the strongest players on the Blue and Gold team last fall. It was expected that he would be Trin- ity’s mainstay in the pitching box this spring, when the Hill “Collegg put|. forth her baseball team. He came to Hartford frém Kent School, at which place he had been an all-round athlete and an especially valuable member of Kent’s football team. At Trinity College he took a true interest in military training and science and at the very outset of the | formation of the two military com- panies, composing the Trinity College Battalion .now a unit of the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps, his knowl- edge of military affairs was recog- nized by means of an appointment to a lieutenancy in one of the companies. He was a member of Beta Chapter of the Psi Upsilon Fraternity. Why Not Stop Other Texas “Sports” As Well As Boxing. 5 Mr. Blanton, one of the Texas mem- bers of the House.of Representatives, appears to be perturbed greatly over | the fact that some persons see fit to attend boxing exhibitions. Mr. Blan- ton got into the papers with the an- nouncement that he was considering the.introduction of a bill 'which would levy a tax of $25 on each person at- tending a boxing bout and a tax of 75 per cent, of the gross receipts at every show. ‘We are glad that Mr. Blanton is only considering the introduction of such a bill. We doubt very much if the House will worry if he fails to bring the bill before it. Perhaps Mr. Blanton had better first see that the dog and cock fights which are such edifying spec- tacles in Texas sperting circles are done away with before he entertains any ideas regarding boxing. We do not believe the folks down in Texas ever did see a real boxing match. As for Mr. Blanton's proposition ever re- ceiving consideration, those who like the sport refuse to tremble in trepida- tion. Pocket Billiard Expert Challenges.

Ball-players all agree that umpires should be granted exemption on ac- count of their eye-sight. Give Matty some money to mix with his brains and youll see a pennant flying in Cincinnati one of these days. Manager Howard of Oakland got a good start in the Pacific Coast League race. His team won their first five games. President Johnson suggests the selling of thrift stamps at.all Ameri- can League parks. Surily the fans will respond liberally. Just imagine it, the American lea- gue has played more than two straight games and Ty Cobb hasn't been ar- rested 'for beating an ump. The Boston Red Sox pitchers, Yan- kee catchers and infield and the De- troit outfield would make quite a ball club, good enough for any league. ‘What? Maty O'Toole, celebrated a few years ago as the most expensive pur- chase of a major league club from the minors, will be with the Omaha club this season. Vean Gregg’s work with the Ath- letics this spring has led some of the critics to believe-that the veteran southpaw will have another very suc- cessful campaign. y Little Rock fans are very enthus- cisions at the plate.

HOSE and HOSE COUPLINGS, SPRNKLING CANS The Household 74 Franklin Street Telephone 531-4 nors, is wanted by a_ certain major league club to fill a similar role. Sam Crawford has made a fine start cific Coast League. His fielding, throwing and batting were features in the first game that he worked. John Hummel, for many years with the Brooklyn club and last season first baseman for the Baffalo Inter- nationals, is now playing an outfield position for the San Francisco club. Rochester papers think that the op- tional purchase of Pitchers Dick Durn- ing and Nofman Plitt, last season with Portland, from the Brooklyn Nation- als, is a move in the right direction. Chief Bender insists that he can make more money pitching semi-pro- fessional ball in and around Phila- delphia, so he has passed up the op- portunity to continue as a major lea- guer. Pitcher Jim Middleton, formerly of the Giants, has announced that he is throught with baseball. He intends to devote his time to his farm in In- diana and will not report to the Kan- sas City club. Another major league ball tosser has arrived in France. Mike Menosky has landed “Over There” where Hank Gowdy, Sherrod Smith, Eddie Grant, Harry McCormick and others were al- ready working. Jim Canavan, oné time manager of the New Haven baseball club, and later identified with several big league clubs as scout, will propably manage the Marlin Arms Co. team of New George Whiteman, one of the oldest players in the majors, is quite a reve- lation. He's hitting thé hide off the ball for the Red Sox and showing up like a youngster, despite the fact that he is said to be over 35 years old. The Yankees tried Whiteman in 1913. A lot of candidates have been named at various times for the tightward!} championship. but the guy who really wins it is the spitball pitcher who wanted his club to buy his chewing tobacco on the ground that it was| part of the club’s baseball equipment. 014 Bill Hinchman, the veteran Pirate, won't be among those present this year, despite the fast that he is hooked to perform with the Pitts- burgh team. Broke his leg early last season and had to spend many weeks in the hospital. We hope it isn't the last of Bill. Miller Huggins fs satisfied that the Yankee scouts picked up a promising plaver in Sam Vick, last season with Memphis. “His style at the bat hardly could be improved upon.” Huggins re- marked in discussing this young play- er. “He is a natural slugger and one of the best young prospects I have seen in a long time.” Catcher Bd Spencer, who has de- cided to stay in California this sea- son, has consented to do a little catching for the San Francisco club if he can get his release from Detroit and is quoted as saying that it was agreeq in his -contract with Detroit that he should have his release un- der certain conditions. The Washington club has released Pitcher Adrian Lynch to Atlanta of the Southern Association. He is a right-hander secured by Manager Griffith from a clubl in the Central Association. He did not show much | as a pitcher, but looked so good at bat ‘that Griff thought for awhile of ! keeping him and developing him into{ an outfielder. The tour of California by the Chi cago Cubs was profitable finanecially. at least. At the final game in the| Golden Gate, played at San Francisco March 31, nearly 8,000 fans were out to see the Cubs beat the Seals by a score of 8 to 0. It was the biggest ecrowd of the tour, hut other games played in California cities drew well | enough to more than pay expenses of staging them. While bowling is generally consid- | ered injurious to the arm of a pitcher, at least by big league managers who |have often advised young twirlers| | against it, Leon K. Ames who | starting on his sixteenth year in the | big leagues, comes out strongly for the | pin toppling game. Ames says he has| been bowling steadily for ten years and that it has never injured his arm | in the least, in fact had strengthened; aE Lawrence has sent 3200 young men to the service of Uncle Sam and for that reason one Lawrence writer holds that the new league proposed to rise on the ashes of the old New England | the furniture, is | league cannot be a success this year. ‘Owner Cuddy of the Lawrence Roller Polo team has been approached on the subject but has turned a deaf ear to the proposition.
