 New Haven, Feb. 14.-As one result of the conference of the Republican state central committeeman here con corning. the nominations for congress- men from this section which was he'd at the Graduates club on Saturday af- ternoon, it has come out that there is somewhat of jealousy abroad among the Republicans in this state regard ing the rapid progress which Congress- man. -at-large J. o. Tilson is making in the halls of legislation at Washing ton. Some republican politicians in this state regard him as a man born outside Connecticut who may knock out some of the Nutmeg talent which it is believed ought to have chance to take something of the good bene- fits of the congressional offices.
 This, it is understood, was the req son why Major Tilson was induced, at the "get together dinner he gave at the Graduates club, to withdraw his candidacy to succeed the Hon. N. D. Sperry from the Second district, and to consent to run again as congress- man-at-large. &
 The question now comes as to the chances of the election of Colonel An drew N. Shepard, of Portland, as the candidate from the Second district, to whom the nomination has practically been vouched, and also as to whether Major Tilson can be reelected again in the office which he now holds. It goes without saying among the Con- necticut politicians, that Tilson ap- pears to have caught on" so rapidly with the wheel horses of the party at Washington that he is rather dazzling his promoters here in this section.
 Here in New Haven Major Tilson's friends make no secret of the fact that he was much disappointed at not being promised the nomination from the Second district, although he reti~d gracefully AS to who will meet him in the field to which he was finally relegated, 1t was stated that there was no prominent candidate, outside, possibly, of Judge James F. Walsh, of Greenwich, Walsh is a Lake man.

As may be recalled, quotations in the stock market were so high two or three weeks ago that investors fought shy of the securities: then followed a slump. These two occurrences are thus explained, with undoubted accu- ra1y. by Banker Clews in his weekly review:
 The real influence behind the recent rapid and serious break in the stock market was the fact that important interests had forced the price level up to a point not justified by dividend returns, either present or in prospect "a fact that was well known to these interests Amidst artificial enthu- siasrn they were successful in distrib- uting a large part of their securities among weaker holders who have since been compelled to take pretty severe losses which they should charge off to experience account and profit there hy: their enforced liquidation created a situation that at times fell little short of demoralization. Havng sold out at high prices these large market interests were not averse to taking the double advantage of profits on short commitments and of repurchaSing their supplies of securities at the resultant declines, extending in the instances of some standard stocks 20 to % points from the high prices reached. There upon the fear of adverse legislation became opportunely ursettling and was insidiously encouraged to take re- sponsibility for the demoralized condi- tions, being ably seconded by equally distorted views of the disorder to re- suit in the event of the Supreme Court sustaining the lower courts by declar ing the Standard Oil and American Tobacco Company illegal combinations on the ground that they restrain trade.
 This process of-in homely phrase -'clamming the tide both ways is of sloary age and invariable success. It shears the lambs every time. Ad- vancing prices always attract the green speculator. and he drops his cash when the inevitable-perhaps often preaTanged-declinea arrives. In re- cent magazine article, writer of ex- perience stated that the plans of shark and lamb" differed radically. While the former closes out his hold ings on an advancing market. the lat ter buys, and when the "lamb'' is be- ing closed out on a declining market, the shark is loading up at low prices MT Clews tells, in the above extract, how the old. old game was worked in: the, recent illustration of it

APPENDIX SIX INCHES
 LONG REMOVED FROM
 PROMINENT YALE ATHLETE.

New Haven, Feb. 14.-A football strain is supposed to account for The fact that a veriform appendix SIX inches long was recently removed in an operation on George Glass, the for rner Yale football guard and hammer thrower. Medical authorities at Yale believe this to be the longest appen- dix which was ever found
 Glass received several football strains when hewa at Yale, and one of special severity when he tried to break the Yale strength record. He is the son of a Waterbury manufac- tuFer, and went recently to a sani- tar&um in Rochester, Minn., to have hiS-appondix removed. The ordinary appendix is from to 2 F inches 1n length. Glass was graduated from Yale in the class of 1903

The Seals. returning from an I'M
merciful whipping at the hands of the
Beavers, are expected on the morning
train and will line up with the vii
layers on the Chutes diamond this af-
ternoon. The coming series will be an
eight-game affair with a double head
er as usual Sunday, and another two
game schedule for Monday, Labor day.
The Friday afternoon, Sunday and
Monday morning games will be played
at Vernon, the remainder of the series
at Chutes.
The dope sheets for the coming series
on the local grounds have been thrown
to the winds as neither the Villagers
nor the Seals have been playing their
real game during the last weeks pro-
gram One or the other, or both, may
fall into stride again, but there is
no one who is prophet enough to fore
tell the result.
The game Sunday afternoon between
the Senators and the Hoganites was
the turning of the tide in the opinion
of many of the fans. as Happy Hogan
came out of his silence in the stick
department and made a clean base hit.
Such an occurrence BODIES i'll for the
Seals, as Vernon landslides are al
ways due after an event of such mo-
ment.
OF course, Vernon will have a slight
advantage in this afternoons fray,
as the Frisco players will have to have
a little time to unkink themselves from
the knots of travel secured on their
trip down the coast. Mohler however,
is not one to take any chances and
the game will go neither way in easy
fashion.
The Angels seem to be sliding little.
but are bound to come in with the
victories when least expected The
fans are looking for a landslide in
the direction Of the Dillonites before
long, and IL the fates have declared
the victim as Portland there will be
a jubilant bunch around the local
haunts. Portland has been winning
a few too many for comfort, and it is
UP to the Angel band to trim the
Beaver aspirations and boost them
selves a little.
The oaks have the chance OF their
lives with the Lawmakers on the
other side Of the program and will give
the Beavers a hard run for the league
leadership if the dope is right. The
Senators seemed to be on the final
toboggan to the also-ran class during
their last appearance here, in spite
of the fact that Vernon was not able
to do better than a margin series vic
tory-and Oakland is playing ball of
the championship variety. 1t will be
a tight race during the coming week
and the five leaders, now twelve games
apart, will produce some real thrills
for the fans. ..

DEL MONTE TENNIS
ATTRACTS CRACKS
Champions and Ex-Champlons to
Be Entered in Tournament
Opening Monday

The annual tennis tournament for
the singles championship of the IA
cific coast will open on the Del Monte
courts next Monday afternoon, Sep
tember 5. Los Angeles Will be apiy
represented in the entry list ano should
bring home many of the spoils:
Charlie Rogers, who reached the nm
ais in the tourney last year. will be
seen among the coast title aspirants
again and there Is a possibility that
the lists can be held open long enough
for Tom Bundy, Trow Hendrick, JACK
Duncan and Simpson Sinsabaugh to
enter who are now playing in the
Salt Lake tournament.
Ward Dawson will make the trip
from Berkeley to have a hand in the
final matches of the meeting and with
him will go Mel Long, ex-coast
champion and present holder of the
clay court championship of the Unit
ed States.
1t is barely possible that Maurice
Mclaughlin, the star young racket
wielder of San Francisco, will be en-
tered in the Del Monte affair but he
may not be able to return in time for
the event.
George James will be on hand to de-
fend his title in the singles and should
give the tournament winner hard
run before giving up the coveted
championship cup.
In the women's events there will be
many matches OF interest. Perhaps
the most important one of the pro-
gram will be the meeting of the two
great rivals, May Sutton and Hazel
Hotchkiss, the latter fresh from her
state championship victory at Berke-
ley, and Miss Sutton ready to put up
her usual game that always brings
home the victory.
AS has been the case in the other
tournaments of the 1910 season the
women's special and the Junior events
will be given a prominent place and
the new players viii be given encour-
agement on every hand.
The Del Monte courts have been pre-
pared for the event and are in prime
condition for championship matches
of a superior brand. The coming event
should prove to be one. of the best
Journeys held this season as never has
SO great an array Of talent been per-
suaded into a single tournament be-
fore.

son match, put ban on prize lighting
in California, will be staged tomorrow
night, when Owen Moran of England,
and Frank Burns of Oakland, meet in

verdict will be rendered by the sport
ing writers of the newspapers in their
stories of the fight.
Moran remains the choice in the
betting. Tom Corbett reports an
abundance of money to be bet on the
Englishman, with few takers.
Moran is a seasoned fighter and has
met the best boxers in his divisions.
Burns is comparatively new at the
game, though he has n good reputa-
tion here and in the east.
