Comfortable Fortune in Few Months
 fer the Italian Runner.

Dorando Pietri's great running against Hayes was the talk of New York this week, says the New York Sun. Dorando's strength in wind and limb convinced many good judges that if he does not lose his present form he will make a powerful bid for victory when he starts in the $10.000 Marathon Derby at the Polo Grounds on Saturday afternoon. April 3.
 On that occasion Dorando will stack up against Longboat, Shrubb, Hayes, Maioney and the French runner. Saint Yves. who is said to be a world beat CT. Hayes took his defeat like a man. He said that he had been fairly beat en, but that he wanted just one more crack at his conqueror. T may have made some mistakes in training for the race" said Hayes to his friends, "so that hope I can get another chance to redeem myself"
 Counting in his share of the spells on Monday night, Dorando has made nearly $20,000 in cold cash since ar irving here last fall. He has been racing constantly both here and in various western cities, yet he has not gone stale. He will probably go home early ip the summer, but he says he will come back next winter

 Johnson's hands are small and, like his chin, out of proportion with the heavy body. The fingers are not in proportion to the palm, which has fill- ed out with much bag punching.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
EFFORTS TO BID UP PRICES
Against the Bears-ProfessionaIs Play.
 inq for Position.

New York, March 1S.-The early stock market today developed a good deal of the kind of playing for posi- tion on the part of the professional element which made the market active yesterday after the new tariff bill was offered in congress. These tentative operations failed to demonstrate the existence Of any outside following and they were given over as the day pro- gressed, leaving the latter market In almost as letharglc a condition as that of last week. The publication of the items of the bill as it comes from the ways and means committee of the house seems not to have relieved the speculative apprehension that business will be held fin check in all lines until the final form of the act Is determined. The stock market today was inclined to ad5us it's vie Ns to a probable peri cd of inactivity in it's business in sym pathy with the waiting attitude ex- pected of general business. Here and there in the market there was reflect ed the influence of special schedules of ths tariff changes on individual stocks. as in the sharp advance in the General Leather and American Hide and Leather stocks, based on the eNpecta- ton of advantage from the fial listing Of hides and the proposed change in the duties on shoes. The t-t deal ings today showed that ,Ho saarp rise in prices yesterday had brought some selling orders into the market. The decline in prices which resulted again developed a demand from uncovered shorts Stil later efforts 10 bid up prices against the bears again met sufficient selling orders ,o hold the market in check. The demonstration of the limitations on the price move ment discouraged the professional fac ton and they curtailed their opera tiOns substantially.

TO PRESERVE TREES.
A Problem Troubling at Least One
 Owner in Fairfield.

A queer thing happened in town on the night Mir. Whitaker v-ns lecturinE in Southport on the care of trees writes a Fairfield correspondent The night was very stormy and dark. Taking advantage of that circum- stance some one went into the grounds surrounding the home of A. Holland Forbes on Main street and pulled up and carried of sdme thirty or forty young apple treesA which he set out last fall and in which he took a good deal of pride. He was conRratulating himself that the trees had survived what proved to be a very open win ter. There was clothesline in the yard, stretching from one pole to an- other, and thls was taken and cut up to bind the trees with. They were ev- idently carted off On someone's back for Mir. Forbes coachman has been able to trace footsteps in the soft soil for a considerable distance. There may be a question among orchardists how 10 protect trees from the San Jose scale. or how to prevent apples from being stolen. but these sink in to insignifieance when it becomes a question of preserving the trees them selves. Only the holes were left.

Westerly. March 1S.-Jim Barnes, middleweight champion. won handi- cap wrestling match over Jack Mc- Grath, the Irish Giant, of Norwich. and champion heavyweight, at the PaYcatuck armory tonight before a crowd of 600. The conditions of the match were for McGrath to throw the Springfield man twice in an hour. and the match was a whirlwind affair from the start McGrath failed to get a fall, although he kept hard after his man and had him in many tight places, by the science of Barnes stood him in good stead and he successfully evsIfed every effort on the part of the heavier man to pit him to the mat.
 At the conclusion of the match Me- Grath challenged eBarnes to a finish match for $100, to be decided before McGrath wrestles the Indian, Chief Fighting Bear, as McGrath has stated that his bout with the Bear will prob ably be his last appearance on the mat around here.
 There were~two good preliminaries. Abe the Newsboy of New London and Tebo of Westerly went founr rounds with the gloves, and two Westerly bows, Young c. Manchester and Young Jordan, went on for three rounds.

CATTLE RAISING.
Proof That it is Paying Industry in
 Connecticut.

An interesting fact that is not gen. erally known by farmers of Connecti- cut was brought to light when the routine of a winters work In steer feeding was brought to close recent ly at the Storrs Agricultural college The results plainly show thaI beef can be raised in this state with fair de- gree of profit, and that if necessary Connecticut can produce her own beef.
 About the middle of last November eight short horn steers were pur- chased in Vermont and shipped down to the college for work in steer feed. ing for the short course students and the regular fourth year dairymen. The animals were all close to two years old and varied from 575 to sos pounds in weight, and, after resting for ten days. were started on the road to prime beef.
 The animals were brought for the purpose of giving the students actual work in the line of how to feed cattle, and the modern methods by which beef cattle are judged or scored. and not as a steer feeding experiment.
 No attempt was made at any time to push the steers along rapidly. aud this, of course, increases the value or the result to farmers. Each day they were fed a normal ration Of hay, en- siIage and grain and at the end of the work. which lasted 100 days, the herd had increased 1,ss6 pounds in weight, or in other words each steer gained one and sixty-seven one hundredth pounds every day.
 The smaller the animal to start with the less was found to be the amount of each gained in weight in the feeding. Through the entire 100 days the large- streers, in order. increased t1sir pro- portion of grain according to their weight at the start, demonstrating the fact that it is better and more profit able when buying cattle to. fat to se- cure only those which have made good growth for their age.

Cincinnati. March 1S.-The National baseball commission announced decis- ions today in the cases of three 'av- CTS.
 Player James c. Delehanty, former ly of the Washington American club, who had been placed on the ineligible list for his participation in the games against the Logan Squares of Chicago. last fall, was reinstated but will have to pay $50 fine before he is eligible to play.
 Player Charles A. Fallon's appIica- ton to be declared a free agent was granted. Fallon played with the Hart ford Conn, club during the season of 1908, but did not sign a contract. and on this fact his application was grant ed.
 Player John J, Duffy of the Troy club of the New York State league asked the commission to declare him a free agent, but the commission re- fused his request.

WESTERLY PROTESTS.
No. 1 Team in Duekpin League Dis putes Games Claimed by Forfeit by Norwich Warriors.

Westerly followers of the Eastern Connecticut duckuin league do not take much stock in the action taken by the Norwich Warriors last Friday evening by demanding three straight games on a forfeit from the Norwich No. l team. In one sense it was all right providing the rule had been en- forced before, but as the Westerly and Norwich teams are very close in the league standing. the Westerlys feel as if the Warriors have taken advan- tage of them.
 If this was the only case where a team failed to show up it would be all together different but games have bee1 postponed time and time again by aIl the teams. Westerly No. 1 had to meet the second team and take the medicine fair and square, and the To- cal bowlers think 1t is no more than right that the Norwich Warriors should do likewise.
 The manager of the Westerly team does not intend to let the matter drop and give three games to the Warriors without learning if they had a good reason to demand them. The manager of the Westerly No. team has en- tered a protest to the president of the league It is believed by all the West erly bowlers that he is justified in do- ing so.-Westerly Sun.

JoHNSoN's STYLE.
\ Left Hand Fighter-Has Little
 Crouch in the Rinu,

Jack Johnson, the new champion heavyweight pugilist, told a Chicago man this week something about his style of milling. He is a fighter of pe- culiar build, with a reach of about "A inches. His neck is short and thick. On each side are the huge shoulder muscles which, when the arms are raised, amply protect the head as high as the ears. Between these a not too prominent chin is safely slowed away. The muscles protecting the stomach are not well developed. This necessi- tates the added protection of his big right arm, which he says always lies over his stomach and heart. His crouch is slight. He says he prefers to stand nearly erect The right hand is rarely drawn back for a punch and is used evidently in attack to uppercut with. His attack is largely that of a left hand fighter and this left hand, as in all clever, fast men. is highly deyel- oped. With 1t he can hook, iab. block or lead closely and fast.
 q never move around much" he ex. plains. T always keep my feet close together. figure that the left foot and the left hand work together. If a box CTS left foot is turned ir and he misses he Is thrown off his balance. If it is straight he can hit and retain h,s bal ancs and como back again. With 1t

Lawrence Buys Jaek Hess.

Verification of the report that the Lawrence (New England league) club has bought Pitcher John Hess from the Nashville club brings to light the fact that the Lawrence management was dickering with the southern team for six weeks before the deal was com pleted. During this time an effort was being made to dispose of Hess else where, Columbus, in the Western league, being one of the bidders for his services. Hess is expected to prove a big help to the Lawrence club, which is managed by Nal Eason, the former major league twirler.-Springfle TTOiOD

John Harty of Taftville has consent ed to referee the game between Nor wich and Fort Trumbull at Sachem park Saturday. He knows all the fine points of the game. having been broughtup with it. He organized the Merrimack Valley league, and is well known as an authority on association football. He leaves Norwich next week, so this will probably be his last appearance as referee. The soldiers from the fort are sending up strong eleven, so it is hoped that the football enthusiasts will turn out in good num- bers, as good game is expected.
