This settles in a most satisfactory manner what guidance the Academy boys will have on the diamond, and ensures it being of the best, as Principal Tirrell was catcher and captain of his team at Wesleyan college, and admitted to be without rival as a backstop.

SPto BROTHERS. WUr Street, N'-w London Ta ,10, 74 NARROW STOCK MARKET. United State Steel Movsment Attract ed Much Attention. New York, Jan. 22. The narrow di mensions of the stock market made its principal feature still today. The movement in United State Steel at tracted a good deal of attention, owing to th hopes that the usual strong sym pathetic effect of this stack's action on the general list would prove effective in reviving the market. Yesterday's 2 point rise In United Btates Steel did, in fact, have the effect of bringing in some orders for the stock today, the result being a spread in the price of 1-8 at the opening on an extreme ad vance of 1-2. This1 carried it within a shade of 55. where it hesitated owinn- to the very large sellng orders awaiting it at that point. At 65 the. first sale wag of 10,000 shares, and very large sales followed. The preferred stock ilso advanced to 115. which is a record price, the previous record of 114 5-8 having been made in November last. The sinking fund bond of the corpora tion are ruling also at about their highest price. There was no definite news to account for this movement. For this reason, probably, the move ment failed to awaken the customary response in the general list. Some of tne ranroaa equipment stocks showed some sympathy. Quite a varied list of indui rial srx'Cialties rose brisklv on newly awakened activity, for the "most part unexplained by anv news. In the case of Amerieaft Sugar, the rise was attributed to the application of the company to have its shar-n admitted on the regular list, a request which im plies tne intention to publish detailed information of earnings and financial condtion. The requirements from an uncovered short Interejt were suppos ed to figure in some of these sudden advances. The rise In National Lead was coin cident with another reduction in the price of copper and a decline in silver in the London market. News that the Russian loan issue had been many times oversubscribed in Paris and was ruling at a rremium of 2 per cent, was followed by an easing of discount rates abroad and a reduction in the price of gold in'London. which promised a re laxation of the Paris demand on Lon don for gold. The forecast of the week's currency movement modified the New York interest in the gold movement. The influx of currency is on so large a scale as to leave the problem for the ):'!iks one or nnt.ing employment for their resources rather than of conserv ing reserve. The excess of receipts over shipments of currency by express has been so heavy that the cash gain promises to reach S10.O00.00O or up wards. ThW state of affairs Is not deemed of hopeful Import to the prog ess of business activity, and price of stocks were inclined to yield after the publication of the cash estimates. The result wa a show of losses at the end of the day except In a few cases of strength. Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value. $5,664,000.

Baseball in eastern Connecticut the coming summer will get a boost in Danielson on Sunday afternoon, when a meeting of the league has been call ed by President Reeves to talk over the outlook for the season. All the nix clubs, it is believed, will be rep resented, and it is reported that there will be representatives from other places on hand looking fo ra chance to gain admission to the league Central Village is one of these." Last fall President Reeves gave it out that he was strongly inclined to run a team in Danielson, and it is believed he ig still of the same opinion. If this is so. it will mean securing another man for president, as the league's policy has been to have the president's chair filled by a man not Interested In a bus iness way in any of the teams. From the forecasts a good season is pre dictedfor the league. Bookmaker Arrested, Racing Stopped. New Orleans, Jan. 22. After lasting a week, the race meet at Suburban park, in Jefferson parish, across the Mississippi river from New Orleans, was closed today, at least temporarily! The announcement of the suspension was made on the conclusion of the fourth race, shortly after John Shee han of Memphis, a bookmaker had been arrested on the charge of violat ing the Locke anti-racing law. Shee han's arrest followed a telegraphic or der from Governor Sanders to the dis trict attorney or Jefferson parisr. I Turk Afraid?

Star Pointer's 1.59 1-4 Will Ba MaTk For Savage' New Purchase. Minor Heir now becomes the stable companion of Dan Patch, 1.55 1-4, the world's champion pacer. After Dan became the property of Mr. Savage which was in 1902 that gentleman never allowed the stallion to appear in a race, but it has noiv been announced that these two pacing marvels will appear against each other in exhibi tion races during the "coming suTnmer. It will be a wonder if Minor Heir does not do something towards the lowering of the world's technical un paced records for pacers, 1.59 1-4. It was in August. 1897, that Star Pointer set this record at Readville, Mass. After him no pacer crossed the two-minute line until 1902, when Dan Patch did so. The history of Dan's struggles to beat 1.59 1-4, and how he did altd didn't do so is full of curious interest. In 1902, the- year that he attained two-minute honors, after tak ing a record of 1.59 1-2 at Providence, Dan was started to beat it at Readville and, if .'possible, to beat 1.59 1-4 as well. He paced his mile in 1.59 1-4, exactly, but by a mistake he had been programmed as attempting to beat 1.59. not 1.59 1-4. Hence, under the technical rules governing records made against time, his performance was a losing, not a winning one, and he got no official credit for it. The next year the front pacemaker and the wind shield came in, and be hind a runner he can follow one a no other horse has ever shown the ability to Dan cut his record by gradual reductions to 1.56 1-4. The next year he cut this to 1.56 and the next to 1.56 1-4. The men who con trol the official trotting organizations ruled out the front pacemaker, and, further, that a horse that had taken a record behind a runner could not thereafter make one "in the open'" unless he (or she) beat his (or her) record made previously In the prohibit ed way. This placed Dan Patch in a predica ment. It waa made a physical impos sibility for Dan to get a new record of any sort. He couldn't beat 1.55 1-4 In the open, and on account of his 1.55 1-4 record net made that way, if he went to beat his old-fas-hioned rec ord of 1.59 1-2 and Star Pointer' 1.59 1-4, and did so this would still be not a technical record. Mr. Savage, however, showed Dan's greatness by sending the champion to Memphis, where he paced In 1.58 in the open, but got no credit for it. And go Star Pointer's record still stands. But if Minor Heir stays sound and well and improves even the least bit in the world, it won't be standing a year from now. Harry Hersey, who will train him from now on, is an expert in training a pacer to go against the watch, and driving one as well. He is at least fifty pounds lighter than Dean, also, and if all goes well will go a mile some time during 1909 that will relegate 1.59 1-4 to has beenism. finally and forever. For Dan Patch Mr Savage paid $60.000 of which, it is said, $45,000 was in cash the same amount that he has paid for Minor Heir. As a payer of record-breaking prices for record breaking pacers, the Minneapolis man certainly has no rivals. So far as is reliably known, nobody else ever paid half as much for any pacer as he did for either of these. RED-TOPPED ATHLETES. Great Year for the Strong and Speedy Men With Titian Locks.

"I have my money up for a match with any plaver in thA country, and I will accept any prop- "3IL,,P" lime. 5lir I Am nrt playing billiards for mere titles or tro- Many a fond mother who has brooded over the fact that her hope ful has locks of flaming red will take heart when she reads the resume of athletics for 1908, and notes the fact that the chief honors on the cinder path this year have fallen to red headed runners. Who won the junior cross-country championship at Celtic park recently, outclassing a field of fourscore run ners, and winning in record time? Why, red-headed Jimmie Lee of Bos ton. And It was Lee, too. the week previous. who showed the athletic funs a streak of gameness that soft ened the heart of every man and wo man that Baw the race. Lee ran the whole last two miles in a condition bordering on collapse, and flopped over helpless the instant he realized that he had completed the journey. Who won the ten-mile champion ship the very race in which Lee showed all this grit? Why, red -headed Jitck Eisele, from Newark, N. J. Eisele ran the fastest ten miles since the days of Willie Day 53 minutes and 16 sec onds. Eisele is some game, too. It is not so long ago that we read aSout his running the English three milers to a standstill at tne Olympic games and giving the British athletic ex.- perts the scare of their lives. And this after having the nail torn off one of his big toes. Eisele ran with his foot bandaged and suffered excruciat lng pain at every stride. Who was the star of the distance races at the outdoor championships last summer? Why. red-headed Mike Driscoll, from Yonkers, the Hill city. Driscoll has defeated such champions as Reilly of the Mohawks. Lee of Boston, Bellars of the New York A. C, Bonhag, Joyce, Daly and Collins of Pennsylvania on the cinders, and at the indoor championships he thrilled the whole athletic world with a performance of 9.28 2-5 for two miles on the boards When Uncle Sam needed a sprinter to uphold his name in the 200-metre race at London, who was it that shot away from the mark like a streak. and. after one of the most stirring races or tne Olympiad, plunged through the tape a brave three inches behind Bobby Kerr, the pride of Can ada? Why, that was red-headed Bob by Cloughen of the Irish-American A. A. Cloughen upheld the Stars and Stripes In other countries, too. He won the 200-metre events at interna tional meets in Dublin, Edinburgh. Glasgow, Malmo, Norkopping and Stockholm all in tiptop time. Cloughen made good on the boards, too, by winning both the 60-yard and 75-yard indoor championships in rec ord time. Cornell university ha a sorrel topped star, too. His name is Taylor, and in another year so says Jack Moakley he is going to show a brand of running that will startle the whole of athletic America. Taylor was prob ably held back in the fall. Moakley knew that he had a winner In Captain Young and saved the new star for another year. At that Taylor materi ally aided Cornell in winning the in tercollegiate cross-country champion ship by racing home in fourth position close behind Pauli, the university of Pennsylvania champion. Taylor was the second Cornell man to cross the finish line. Jim Archer, the Irish-American sprinter, is another read-headed run ner who is good. Of late Archer has been off his form, but look up his rec ord, and you will find him a junior champion in 1906. as well as the win ner-of many handicap In lightning time. he returned to his old associates and played with New Britain the greater part of that season. He was sold to Toledo of the American association, but did not finish the season with that team. On becoming ill Long went to Hanover and had suffered for several months. Princeton 40, Yale 28. Princeton, N. J., Jan. 22. Prince ton closed her basketball season to night with a victory over Yale by the score of 40 to 28. It was the deciding game of the series, Princeton having defeated Yale ry the score of 34 to 12 in the first game. BASEBALL PICKUPS. Tom Daly has been officially ap pointed scout for the Brooklyn club. Jesse Burkett has signed George Ri vard. who pitched for Lowell last year. Monte Cross of Kansas City is anx ious to get Joe McGinnity for his pitching staff. Carpenter. the former National league umpire, has signed with the Southern league. Doc Lawton, the Brooklyn pitcher, is house surgeon at King's county hos pital in New York. Clark Griffith was a member of the Boston American association team of 1891. Most people had forgotten the Carr is anxious to get the Boston American club to release French, the infielder drafted from Ev ansville, Ind. George Morlarity is another fistic star among ball players in the class with Frank Smith, John Anderson and Schmidt of Detroit. Clark Griffith Is a great believer in players who take care of their bats and are very choice of them. He banks upon such men as hitters. Danny Green's descent has been fast. He was not good enough for Sioux City and Ducky Holmes has released him to Dick Cooley's Topeka team. Gilroy. th? Lawrence pitcher, will be with Billy Bernhard in Nashville next season. Billy McGee, the former Na tional league pitcher, has received an offer from Bernhard. Hugh Duffy is a member of the board of control, which looks after the affairs of the Eastern league and Am erican association. The other mem bers are Stein of Buffalo, TV-beau of Louisville and Schoenborn of Colum bus. George Browne, the Boston National outfielder, who has been wintering in California is back In New York, say ing he will try to get away from Bos ton. He ought not to find it hard work, provided he can find some one who wants him, Frank Donahue, who was sent to Providence last year by the Boston American club suffered a. severe at tack of appendicitis at his home in Springfield, O., last Saturday and will probably have to undergo an operation. He is a brother of Jiggs Donaiiue and Pat Donahue of the Boston Americans. DESCENDANT OF UNCAS. Mrs. Lucy Savant Patient at New Haven Hospital. A New Haven exchange says: One of the last survivors of the Perjuot Indian tribe is Mrs. Lucy Savant, who has been ill for the jiast week at the New Haven hospital. Mrs. Savant is 76 year3 of age. There are about a hundred Indians who claim to be Pequots, but there are a very few that do not have Mohegan o r other blood In their veins. Uncas, the famous Mohegan chief, was one of Mrs. Savant's forefathers. It may seem strange that Mrs. Sa vant's maiden name waa Jardiniere, but this is. due to the fact that many Indians took the names of the Span iards who came over on voyages of dis covery, and this name came from one, Joseph Jardiniere, who came over some time in the fiftfeenth century. When an Indian wishes to trace his or her ancestry the data on the moth er's side is used, that on the father's side counting for nothing. It is Interesting to note that Mrs. Sa van spent over eight years in collect ing the records which would establish her ancestry beyond a doubt. Bomr-the Tht Kind Voa Have Always Bougi..
