New Haven. Conn., May 31.—George Joseph Cooney, known as George Mon- roe, a well known bantamweight box- er of former years and a protege of Sam Harris, who managed the cham- pion, Terry McGovern, died here to- day a few hours after an attack of heart disease. He was 43 years old and came to New Haven from New York city about a year ago to conduct & boxing school. New York was his home for many years prior to that While here he had acted as referee at Jocal bouts and was to officiate at one on Monday night next. He leaves a widow and three children. Lack of Men For Keystone Sacks. Several major league managers are experiencing difficulty in securing first class second basemen. The Red Sox must rely on Dave Shean in the ab- sense of Jack Barry. Uncle Robbie, at present, has nobody who can fill Cutshaw’s place on the Brooklyn team. The Phillies are trying McGaffigan, a colt, while the Athletics are playing Shannon, a promising recruit, at the middle bag. The Reds have fallen back on Lee Magee, who is not a good infielder. The Browns' second base- man s Joe Gedeon, of doubtful quality, while teh Cardinals are relying on Niehoft, just a fair ball player. The best second basemen in fast company are Bddie Collins of the White Sox, Young of the Tigers, Pratt of the Yan- kees, Wamby of the Clevelands, Doyle of the Giants. Kilduff of the Cubs and Morgan of the Washingtons. { BRIEF STATE NEWS Waterbury—The record of a very successful year were read at the an- nual meeting of the Waterbury Choral clab this week.

Friday afternoon on-the Providence Street grounds in’ one-of the best games of the season, Taftville lost to the Shore Line by the score of 5 to 2. The Shore Line team , worked _like clockwork, especially the infield. Clish on third and Simcox on short played great guns while Barber on second went like a house afire, raising a great smoke when on the bases, which was often, he leading the carmen in hit- ting. ¥lynn played good ball on first although he had a bad day at the bat. Purple pitched airtight ball, and Lov- enbury his battery mate showed up in great style. The elongated Titian blonde_looks like the find of the sea- son. In the outfield, Bohnson made some fine catches, while Shaw starred in the acrobatic line. Houston didn't get a chance te shine with the glove but he furnished lots of amusement for the kids of the Sacred Heart school out at recess. Mills was the shining light of the Taftville team, although Jervis and Dugas also broke into the limelight. Mills pitched good ball and did some good clouting, getting two triples in four times at bat. Mills died on third after each of his ‘long ‘clouts. “The first time he arrived at third withi‘two outs and Jervis at Yhe, bat. . Harree committed murderous assault on the air three times in quick succession. The second time Jervis ‘popped to Clish.

Detroit, May 31.—Detroit was able to hit Shocker safely but three times MARKET WAS UNSETTLED. Trading Was Influenced Almost En- tirely by War Conditions. New York, May 31.—Trading in stocks during the greater part of to- day's unsettled session was influenced almost entirely by war conditions, which effected early recessions of one to three points in important issues. In the final hour the market was enlivened by a buoyant advance ' in chippings which carried most of those shares far above final prices of the previous session. Marine preferred, on accumulation of the most confident character, made a met gain of 9 7-8 points to 104 7-8, the common gaining 4 5-8 and the 6 per cent. bonas 4 1-4. The movement in marines coincided with a meeting of the directors. at which progress in the proposed sale of the company's British tonnage to British financial interests was report- ed. Other active stocks also experienced a rebound from minimum levels, these for the most part, however, being rel- atively nominal. U. S. Steel, selling minus its reg- ular and ‘“extra” dividends of 4 1-4 per cent., made an extreme reaction of almost three points, rallying over half, but finishing at a net loss of two points. Allied §ndustrials and equipments fared better in the main, and rails, after forfeiting initial advances, made a sharp rebound, as did also sundry specialties and unclassified issues. Sales amounted to 585,000 shares. There was a marked increase of trading in_bonds, but this centered mainly in Liberty issues, all but the 3 1-2g reflecting continuous pressure at lower records. New minimums were 94 for the first 4s, 93.88 for the second 4s and 9680 for the 4 1-4s, offering of the latter being especially large. Total sales, par value, were $11,175,000. were un- U.

Under conditions approaching nearer a college campus atmosphere than any prevailing in the past, the rival com- binations will row a two mile race late in the afternoon on a heretofore un- tried course. The race and its set tings will be unlike any since the-earl. iest days of the Yale-Harvard regatta, yet there are indications that the con- test will be witnessed by far larger throngs than were anticipated ,provid- ing favorable weather prevails. “The two mile stretch up the Housa- | tonic River above Derby, less than ten miles from the Yale campus, has been {selected for the event and here at six |o'elock, the oarsmen of two of Am- erica’s’ oldest and most famous uni- versities will settle the question of rowing supremacy minus the scenes and the surroundings which have made this regatta a Yeature of college adquatics. Although the course has néver been used before for a crew race, the contest will be watched with critical eyes by rowing coa experts in view of its possib post bellum regattas. No pravision has been made for observation trains and the spectators will have to view the contest from river banks and auto mobiles on roads paraileling the. riv While the eity is absolutely devoid of any of the night-before regatta stenes which made New London fam- ous when the four mile races were staged on the Thames, there are:indi- cations that the motor car will bring many hundreds of spectators to the course for the twilight race. Reports from scores of Connecticut towns that they will be represented by motor parties. in addition to the thousands who will journey toithe scene by trol- ley and automobile from New Haven and vicinity. A fair sized delegation of Harvard adherefts is also expect- ed for the race and the baseball game with Yale, which will precede the re- gatta. The Harvard crew, which arrived here on Wednesday, had its final trial over the course late this afternoon but fast time was not attempted. The Crimson oarsmen will race in a Yale shell, loaned for the occasion, and as Ithe local university's crews uge Eng- lish thole pins in place of the Ameri- swivel outrigger, this necessitated vnsiderable readjustment before the . shell met the Harvard requirements. The eight has done well. The eight has done well, however, in practice and gives the impression of being in excellent physical trim. The work of the Yale combination has been handicapped to some extent| by military drills and other war-time and scholastic routine so that but two practice spins have been taken this week in place of the usual twice-a- day rows which would have marked normal time tratning. There was-a flash of old time Yale spirit here to- night, however, when the war-deplet- ed student body held a crew rally on the campus and cheered for the suc- cess of the varsity eight. This was the only outstanding feature of the night-before the fifthy-first regatta to Many of the | be rowed between Harvard and Yale since 1852 with the score in varsity victories standing even, each univer- sity having won 25 major races +The order for tomorrow's race fol- ow.

HOW RACE HORSES GET THEIR NAMES Owners Name CHampions According to Whim. Every race horse is rec iired to have a name and when a champion appears many an inquiry is made in regard to the new performer and especially his {name. Starting with Flora Templ )the first 2:20 performer, the recorc show that she won her f the stable name of ifora but no one has ever explained wuy Temple was added later. George Alley named Dexter for hi friend, Dexter Bradford. The name of this herse also is known to more peo- ple than anyone that ever lived. Many a man who is now gray headed can recall when as a lad hi§ hobby horse was called Dexter, while the sled which he was given at Christmas had Dexter's name or a picture of him stamped on it. Also at the present time nearly every printing office in the country has in stock a few elec- tros of Dexter to insert in advert ments. The original was a print wi Murphy in the saddle, the rider bein: removed when the ~wood-cut wa made. The Dexter print also was used by manufacturers of weather vares for barns and race track buildi all over the country. Goldsmith Maid trotted her first races in 1866 as the Goldsmith Mare. She was then owned by Alden Gold- smith. When he started out in 1867, he changed the word = “Mare” to “Maid.” R. B. Conklin, the breeder of Rarus, declared that the colt would be a champion, so he selected the Latin word, “rarus” meaning “rare’ to designate him from the common herd. He made good. James Galway in 1875 named St. Julien for a brand of wine. Sargent him for a name so that he could enter him at Poughkeepsie. On the same day an agent for a wine house left a sample bottle on Mr. Galway’s desk in his New York store.
