MERIDEN OWNERS WANT TO SELL
Financial Experience Discouraging
With Ball Team in Silver City.

The man who says 81 told you So"
isn't always the most popular, but there
viii probably be a considerable number
of him who will be discovered, when
the Norwich baseball fans learn that
the Meriden baseball franchise is for
sale. Owners Fitzpatrick and Cheney
are sick of their financial experience
since they bought out the Norwich
franchise, a year ago, and had the team
nifted to their city. Both declare they
do not wish to risk any more money
in the game and would gladly sell out.
Some offers to buy have been receiv-
ed from other Meriden, people and some
from Manchester and Rockville, but
none at a price the Meriden owners
want to accept. They say they are de-
termined to sell, if they can get any
thing within reason.
The news of Meriden's sorry expert
ence will probably lead some to think
that this may seem like a chance to get
the team back in this city but with the
steady losses reported by Norwich own
ers in yeasr past, it would seem there
was little probability of such a hap
pening. Those who know anything
about the financial side of baseball in
Norwich are wise to the fact that about
the only hope of a having another
league taem to represent Norwich
would be to make a salary limit with
in our reach and one that isn't re-
garded as joke by the managers.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
NARROW STOCK MARKET.
United States Steel Movement Attract.
ed Much Attention.

New York, Jan. 22.-The narrow d.
mansions Of the stock market made its
principal feature still today. The
movement in United States Steel at
tracted q good deal of attention. owing
to the hopes that the usual strong SYM
pathetic effect of this stocks action on
the general list would prove effective

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 IL. This carried it within a
shade Of So, where il hesitated owing
to the very large selling orders awaiting
1t at that point. At 55 the first sale
was of 10000 shares, and very large
sales followed. The preferred stock
also advanced to lis, which is a record
price, the previous record Of ia SIS
having been made in November last
The sinking fund bonds of the corpora
ton 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
the railroad equipment stocks showed
some sympathy. Quite a varied list Of
indusrial specalties rose brisIxIv on
part unexplained by any news. In the
case Of American Sugar, the rise was
attributed to the application Of the
company to have its shares admitted
on the regular list, a request which i'm
plies the Intention to publish detailed
information Of earnings and financial
condition. The requirements from an
uncovered short interest 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 oversubscrbed in Paris and was
ruling at premium Of 2 per cent. was
followed by an easing of discount rates
abroad and reduction in the price Of
gold in'London. which promised a re-
taxation of the Paris demand on Lon
don for gold. The forecast OF the weeks
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
banks one Of finding employment for
their resources rather than OF conserv-
ing reserves. The excess Of receipts
over shipments Of currency by express
has been so heavy that the cash gain
promises to reach $4,000 900 or up
wards. This state Of affairs is not
deemed of hopeful import to the prog
ess Of business activity. and prices Of
stocks were inclined to yield after the
publication Of the cash estimates. The
result was a show Of losses at the end

DESCENDANT OF uNcAs.
Mrs. Lucy Savant Patient at New
Haven Hospital.

New Haven exchange says: One of
the last survivors of the Pequot Indian
tribe is Mrs. Lucy Savant, who has
been i'll for the past week at the New
Haven hospital. Mrs. Savant is 76
years of age.
There are about a hundred Indians
who claim to be Pequots, but there are
very few that do not have Mohegan
o other blood in their veins. Uncas
the famous Mohegan chief, was one of
Mrs. Savants fOrefathers.
1t may seem strange that Mrs. Sa-
wants maiden name was 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 fifteenth century.
. When an Indian wishes to trace his
or her ancestry the data on the moth
er's side is used. that on the fathers
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.

LEAGUE MEETING.
Eastern Connecticut Managers at DAN
ielson on Sunday.

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
six clubs, it is believed, will be rep
resented, and it is reported that there
will be representatives from other
places on hand looking TO 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 is
still of the same opinion If this is
so. it will mean securing another man
for president, as the leagues policy
mas been to have the presidents chair
filled by man not interested in a bus-
mess way in any of the teams. From
the forecasts a good season is pre-
dictedN for the league.

LAST CHANCE FOR FOOTBALL TICKETS
 FOR BIG GAME
! Especial from United Press.)

New Haven, Oct. 27.-Today is the last day upon which application for the Yale-Princeton football game on November 13 will, be received. The closing hour for. the event has been advertised but the ticket department announced today that a. few hours of grace may be extended. At all events Fthe publications will close at 6 o'clock this evening and those who do not then fhold tickets for the contest will run chances of por getting into the field.
 The demand for tickets has been ex- Itraordinarily heavy and it is announc- led that if the same number of appli- Ications are made today as were made yesterday and Monday no seats will remain for strasglers. Applications flor the Harvard game will remain open a week from today November 3. The form Of the Yale team is now as- Fsuning it's customary excellent mid summer shape The lineup for the Ef1na1 games has not been determined although there will be little doubt in jthe minds of the experts, who will play. The coaches. after the splendid fgeneralship of Quarterback Ford John tson in handling the University team against the second eleven in scrim- images in Yale Field yesterday after noon, frankly admit little choice be- tween Johnson and Howe who has been given slightly the preference so far this season. 4l Heretofore Howe has been thought a little speedier than Johnson but the work of the latter yesterday has left no grounds for choice.

 Although only few days remain be- fore election the alliance voted to get out some literature. containing the re- solution, the platform of the Demo- cratic party and some reasons why the Italian Americans should support the Democratic candidates The literature will be sent to every voter of Italian extraction in this city telling why the candidates endorsed by the alliance should be supported.
