ner automatic timing device. Instru-
ments will be placed at the starting
tape near the Great Neck lodge and at
the finish. tape at the grandstand, In
suring absolute accuracy in the record
ing of the times Of the cars. AS close
finishes between many of the COM
petitors are expected, the use of this
instrument seems absolutely essential,
because of the fact that the time can
be recorded in hundredthS of one Sec
ond. Mr.. Warner will be assisted in
the timing by w. c. Poertner, Arthur
Interiden and H. II. Nipper. Special
telephone service between the starting
point and the grandstand will be in

order that contestants may be Wssned
of any trouble which may arise during
the contest. The grandstand Of the
parkway, both as to seats and boxes,
will be thrown open without reserve.
A nominal charge Of 81 per person Will

preached from the south after the
races have started by the Bethpage
turnpike, or entrance to the parkway
at any Of the lodges will be possible
up to 1870 o'clock in the morning, as
the races are scheduled to start sharp
at 12 o'clock noon. A most interest
ing afternoon is assured.
Those who approach by way of the
parkway will be amazed at the
amount of work accomplished since
the contractors began the work of sur
facing the parkway roadway in the
late spring. The roadway passes
through diversified section of coun-
try, with hills, dales, lakes and
streams, with beautiful vistas of coun-
try extending to the south through

SETS NEW AUTO RECORD
Makes BuffaIo-MontreaI Run at
Thirty-MiIe Clip

Mrs. K. r. Otis, Americas foremost
woman driver. has been at it again,
this time in Canada. Not content with
fast driving when breaking road rec
ords in her Stearns. or speeding along
in transcontinental contests, Mrs. Otis
is now doing fast work for pleasure
alone.
Mrs. Otis husband has large quarry
interests in Grand Ligue, Quebec, and
short time ago Mrs. Otis, then in
Buffalo, ran to Montreal, distance of
1893 miles. Though not expecting to
break any records, she set fast pace.
Intending to take at least five or six
days-for the roads were In terrible
shape, owing to continued rains-she
made the run in less than four days.
She was actually on the road but
twenty-six hours, making her actual
running time average over thirty miles
an hour. On the way up she raced
two other cars, escaped speed trap
and succeeded in distancing an express
train on one of the good stretches of
road. The trip was entirely free from
trouble, single puncture causing the
only. stop.

CONCLUDE SUCCESSFUL
DEER HUNT IN ROYAL
Car Shows No Bad Effects from
Hard Work on HiIIy and
Rough Roads

Tom Carrigan Of Carrigan Brothers,
agents for the Midland and Royal cars,
returned yesterday from a weeks deer
hunting trip in the Milibu mountains
The trip was made in big Royal car
and the party, consisting of 'Big"
Tom, Frank Siefert, John Siefert,
Hugh Gibbons and Jack Brown, car
ried full camp equipment with them,
even to hammock for Tom to rock
to sleep in. The party secured two
deer, and while Tom confessed to kill
Ing one of them and had no hesitancy
In tackling the big buck before he was
dead, yet his innate courtesy not to
interfere in the nocturnal wanderings
of some friendly sl1unks in the neigh
borhood caused him to roost among the
trees.
The party took the Ventura road and
then hit off to the extreme east side
of the range, and state that of all bad
roads possible to be encountered, this
side road was the worst ever, at one
time requiring an hour and half to
travel a city block through eighteen
inches Of sand; but the big Royal is
one OF the best hill and rough road
plungers, and the heavy pulling had
no bad effects on the car.

RESIGNS PRESIDENCY
 OF EASTERN CONN LEAGUE
Enforce Fine and Forfeit Against Putnam.

A few light rippIes disturbed the placid serenity of the session when the directors of the Eastern Connecticut league got together in Danielson On Thursday evening to settle questions that had their origin in the Putnam Wauregan game of last Saturday. It really was an eventfu1 meeting, for several things were done before ad- journmept, not the least surprising of which was the resignation of the pres ident of the league.
 J. B. Benoit was appointed tempo rary secretary after President E. A. Sullivan had called the meeting to order. The question of action on last Saturdays 12-inning tie game forfeit ed to Wauregan when Putnam's man. ager refused to play longer, was at once taken up. President Sullivan made it understood that he was in favor of having the game played over again, and also of remitting $15 of the fine which the league rules improse on the offending team. The directors yOt- ed to deal with the matte rim strict accordance with rule 35 of the bylaws which says that Any team leaving pire declares the game finished. shall pay fine of s25. and forfeit the game and travelling expenses"
 When the decision of the mana gers was announced. President Sullivan rendered his written resignation. and immediately left the room. Following his departure. a vote of thanks was extended to Mir Sullivan for his eff cient services thus far this season; and Abel l.. Reeves of Danie1son was chosen temporary president and secro- tary in which offices he will probably be continued.
 To provide against another unpleas- ant incident in last Saturdays game. This new rule was also adopted: Any player making any assault in 2 game shall be suspended by the president fo, any length of time which he sees fit and his decision shall be final.
 It was decided to let the umpires assigned for Saturday games remain as assigned, Benoit at Jewett City. Roy at Putnam and Moriarty at Day vile. The president will assign the umpires for Memorial day games.
 Present at the meeting were Man agers Gahan of North Grosvenordate. Clark of Tri-Vi1lage, Thompson of JeWett City, and Nolleur of TaftVi;la, A. Benoit and J. B. Benoit of Taft vile.

SIG HART CONFIDENT
 THAT JOHNSON WILL WIN.
Can Beat Jeffries Even if the Boiler
 maker "Comcs Back"

Following a recent letter from Joe Chaynsld in the ferries camp, which The Bulletin was able to publish through the courtesy of Alderman Stu art Douglass of New Rochelle, the al derrnan sends one from Sig Hart In the Johnson camp. Sig was at one time bantamweight champion of Chl- cago, and is the closest white friend and advisor of the champion.
 Sig's letterhead shows the big pa- vilion used as Johnson's training quar- ters in connection with the Seal Rock hotel, on the Ocean Beach boulevard at San Francisco. Harts letter, or May 16th, shows the confidence in Johnson's camp even if Jeffries can come back" He says:
 You know the big fellow thinks a lot of me, and thas afternoon, the same as at other meetings, l have always been at his side and advised him, and he has taken my advice. This after noon Tex Richards was named as third man in the ring, and that is all right, for with an even break there is not a man living who can beat Jack l note what you say about the letter from Joe, but you know as we'll as l do that Joe is bit nutty. Common sense will tell any one that he can't get back in shape. and if he did this big guy will best him sure. And don't say this because I am with him, for can al ways see two sides to anything. Jack is working like a beaver and, Doug, he takes to his work like a duck does to waie CT He. did nine miles on the road yesterday morning, and in the after neon boxed eight rounds with three different husky youngsters, full time. Then he shadow boxed, skipped the rope, punched the bag and wrestled, putting in about an hour in the gym. After his work he did not draw hard breath, showing you he must be in good shape already. Every newspaper man in Frisco was there and all were surprised at his condition. By the way, Doug, your name was mentioned by the champion to act as his timekeeper, if you get out here, and he is very anxious to see you here for the fight, for he knows that he can get no better man for the place. Well, old pal, this is all the news at present, so will close with my usual good wtShes to you and your family from your old pal.
 SIG HART.

Jupes Mcintyre to Manage ereeneviIIe

At special meeting of the City league held Thursday evening at the c. A. c. rooms Manager Miller turned over the Greeneville franchise to the league, which then sold it to Jupes Mcintyre. who will manage the team for the balance of it's schedule. Man ager Mill has turned out a fast team while he has been in charge, but is tired of the managerial job. so that Jupes now gets q chance to become a City league magnate.
 A point spoken of at the meeting was the small sic of the collections at the games. One manager figured it out that about two cents apiece was what was collected at the games. show ing how many in the crowd were of the cheap sport variety who were get ting all they could and letting some one else pay for it.
 All the managers have agreed to transfer the Memorial day games to a later date in the season.
 The league president has assigned the umpfres follows for this week: Bill McClafferty to Falls diamond for Greeneville vs. Centrals: Bill Wicks to Cranberry for West Ends vs. Falls.
 Scorer Congdon is to work at the Falls diamond this week and Scorer Benoit at the Cranberry.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
BEARS WERE NERVOUS. Natural Rebound in the Market-Vio- lent Break in Wheat Market.

| New York, May 26.-The recovery of I stocks today was owing in large part | to the disproof of the rumors of dan l gerous developments which came into | circulation while prices were falling | yesterday The quality of these ru- mors in itself stamped tf1e source of | them with operators seeking to force a decline in prices With the realiza- | ton of this fact there was no further | eagerness on the part of holders of | stocks to let them go. The bears, on | the other hand, were nervous over be- ! ing left in an exposed position and l were inclined to cover shorts.
 These conditions were sufficient to account for natural rebound in the market. There were besides a num- Der of favorable deVelopments of a violent break in the wheat market was the most considered, owing to the far reaching implications carried with it. Engagements of gold today for ship ment to Canada emphasize the impor- tance of the harvests- The Canadian banks are expanded in their loans in quite as striking a degree as the banks on this side of the border and from all most exactly the same conditions. The principal reserve banks of Canada keep large resources in New York and have corresponding power to draw on New York resources to meet their home req uirementS.
 The further recession in foreign ex-
 change rates today marks a protection
 from further inroads on the New York
 banks on another side.
 There was discussion of the proposal
 to reduce the rate of interest to New
 York savings bank depoSitors. If this
 movement could be accepted an in
 dex of a falling investment return for
 capital it might promise a forward
 movement in prices of bonds and fixed
 interest bearing securities. But the
 shrinkage in bond prices which are
 savings bank inves stnents and the con-
 sequent reduction in book value of the
 surplus of these institutions is the
 more evident motive
 The suspension for a year of a stock
 exchange member as measure of dis
 cipline was supposed to be responsible
 for some of the liquidation that came
 upon the market yesterday.
 Bonds were steady. Total sales, par
 value, $1,22S, ,000- United States bonds

coNNEc1Icur AssocIATIoN STANDING.

Norwich took a step towards the top by defeati Middletown at Sa- chem park on Thursday afternoon, 4 to ?, pulling out the victory after both teams had played wobbly ball in the opening inning. After the ragged open ing, in which each side practically presented the other with two runs, both teams settled down for a hard fought contest with enough of the spectacular sprinkTed in to send the 200 fans home happy.
 Chief of the big performances was the work of Lefty Smith, who lid his first day of duty for Norwich get ting off at a gait that made the fans sit up and taken notice. Thirteen Middletown men struck out put Lefty up among the league records. and thir- teen of Tommy Bannons pennant- chasers left lingering on the sacks shows what Smith did to them when they wanted, hit.
 Among the spectacular stunts were Rhylander's roll over after catching a fly, and Friedman duplicated the move for the final out of the game. Tom my Bannot also made nice catch of a long fly in deep right center.
 Pitcher Smith poled in the run that won the game in the fourth, scoring Friedman with single to left, after the latter had beat out an infield hit and stole. Noonan'S hit in the eighth McIntyres sacrifice. McGuires out, and Mulcahy's tumble of cunrap-s throw gave Norwich the last run. Dunlaps pickup on this chance was pretty bit of fielding as he skipped over in front of the second bag to get the slow roller Slim Mcintyre did a bit of the iimelight stuff when he stopped Mu1cahy's drive that almost knocked him over, but he recovered and got his man.
 Captain Ramon went home swear ing that MaiSack would never umpire another game for his team. What got Bannon's goat was a runner called out at the plate when ChapdeIaine dropped the ball. Both hines kicked continually over the called balls and strikes. The score:
