No-HIT GAMES REALLY FREAKS
Greatest of Fielding Necessary to Give
Twirler That Record.

It does not necessarily follow that
because pitcher twirled a no-hit
game his pitching was extraordinary.
As rule, these contests that are
marked by the inability of one side to
hit are freak performances.
Such is Clark Griff1ths' opinion, and
if anyone should know. ne ought to-
Games in which the pitcher is found
for several safeties many a time de-
mand greater energy and more arduous
work on his part than some hitless
contests. In a hitless game it is gen.
orally the work of the fielders behind
the pitcher that counts
We do not wish to detract from any
Of the credit due to the pitchers. but
still if we consult the records of most
OF the no-hit contests we find that II
was the sensational work of the field
ers that enabled the box man to get
away without a bingle being credited
against him.
Griffith says that that no-hit game
OF Cy Young's pitched against New
York last season Is a good example.
Denny Sullivan made two wonderful
catches of short flies; Wagner per
formed phenomenally at the short field
while the left fielder made one of the
greatest catches ever seen in a long
time. With but ordinary fielding
Young would have been hit safely
half-dozen times.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
STRONGER MARKET,
More Active Buying Demand for the
General List.

New York, Feb. S.-The source of
| the strength In the stock market TODAY
was traceable apparently to operations
to cover short contracts put out last
week. The movement was distinguish
ed by subsistence of the special ad-
vances in individual stocks which held
the attention during all of last week
even while the general list was droop-
Ing. On the other hand, the general
list came in for more active buying
demand today. The factors which
prompted the selling of stocks last
week were ignored today although
some Of them occupied place of equal
prominence in the days news. For in
stance, the prospect Of action by the
California legislature on the question
OF Japanese children in the public
schools in opposition to the advice Of
the national executive was reported
more likely than at the close of last
week. The considerable selling of
stocks on Saturday on account Of this
factor evidently was for account of
professional bears and their demand to
cover today did not meet any large
liquidation from the same cause. The
tranquility of the money market to-
day In spite of the narrowing of the
surplus reserves shown In the Satur-
day bank statement belied another
professional anxiety of the profession
al traders in the selling of Saturday
and impelled them to cover their short
contracts. The narrow dimensions of
the new demand was shown by the
small volume of the days transactions,
which fell to the lowest figure for the
new year The market was lethargic
for the most part and the price move
ment was effected during a few brief
periods Of activity. The neglect of tie
market Is its most conspicuous feature
at present. The fact of the absence
from Wall street of some Of the most
conspicuous figures in the financial
world is partly responsible for this, Ii
is suspected also that some effect OF
repression is due to the probing opera
tons Of Governor Hughes commission.

IRON JAWEp BARBER.
Norwich TonsoriaI Artist Has Them
Setting Up and Taking Notice With
Weight Lifting Feats With His
Teeth.

Ilghtness of touch and dizziness of
hand are looked for in a barber, but
hardly the rugged strength that will
grip heavy table with the teeth lift
1t from the ground and toss it around
like a straw, so that it was no wonder
few of such feats at his Franklin
square shop by Jerry Ravenell, the
well known barber, had a shppful of
customers gazing in open eyed aston
lshment at the iron jawe1 Barber.
Jerry's star performance was with a.
heavy round top table with a heavy
iron base. Inviting anyone to lift the
table by mere grasping it on the rim
with the tips of the fingers, job that
was TOO much for many who tried, the
barber would then stoop down, sink
MS teeth into the woodwork of the
rim, raise the table without difficulty
clear of the floor and straighten up.
Those who tried to pull it from him
succeeded in dragging him around the
shop. but Jerry was there on the table
over.
Encouraged by a few Of his friends.
who will back him to the limit, the
barber with the steeltrap Jaws said
he had yet to meet his match when it
came to feats of strength with his
teeth, and he believed he would have
all corners beaten to fragile. Being
q 5OOd uiiAOl Lidtl IllI1SeII, ne Will give
BARRIERS the first preference and after
them anyone who can show his card.
Another feat that the barber says
he can do is to break any clothtesline
by the pull he can give with his teeth
AS the breaking strength of IA inch
manila is about 450> pounds. this comes
pretty near representing the weight
that Jerry can bear on his worries
without flinching. a
A sporting man whdwas in the place
took a look at the peculiar conforma-
ton Of Mr.. Ravenelfs biting appara-
tus and discovered the secret of his
power. To begin with, he has short,
solid teeth, as thick through as the
back of one OF the razors he plies in
his trade. Then there is the square
bulldog jaw solidly laid over with
abundance Of muscle and reinforced by
the ideal bull neck. Those who knew
him In earlier years say that from a
child he showed this marked develop
ment in the strength of his bite. Gold |
and silver watches were reduced to |
pulp in his infantile jaws. tin covers |
were a mere bagatelle and agate iron |
looked like a battered camping outfit |
after Ii had been subjected to the /
chewing process by Jerrys teeth. Both |
In Taftville, where he was born, and in /
Jewett City. where he lived before |
coming to this city several years ago. |
there are numerous anecdotes along |
this line, and there will be many Of |
his friends in both places who will |
expect to see him make good against |
any local contender for the iron jaw
title.

Team Total of 151OSingle of 535--Norwich Warriors
Win at HOme-Wasner will Play with Pirates

Monday was record breaking night
IN the matches of the Eastern Connec-
ticut Duckpin league, when the teams
all rolled on their own alleys, but the
big pin splitting was done by Wester-

fairly ripped the cover off the rink,
holding their lead by taking three
straight games and rolling a team
string of 535, that passed the record
of $40, formerly held by the same team.
They also clinched up the team total
record little tighter by putting to-
gether a bunch Of 1910, beating the
former league record of 1923, held by

In the individual work a new high
single Of 124 was bowled by Coffin Of
