PIRATES, SPEEDY RECRUIT.
Campbell Will Have Hard Time Break
 ina Into Outfield.

Can a new player break into the worlds champions outfield? Can any youngster hope to oust Fred Clarke, Tommie Leach or Owen Will son?
 Sounds like tough proposition, for 1t is hard to find a better trio Of guard ians of the outer works than the clever Clarke, the speedy, hard hitting Leach and the remarkable throwing Wilson
 Ham Hyatt is a crackajack with the willow, yet he couldn't break in. And now comes Chester Campbell, the re- cruit from the Aberdeen club or the Northwestern league, to buck against that stone wall and try for admission to the ranks of the worlds beaters.
 Campbell is a yOungster, and his friends declare that he is bound to develop further, and that, with little major league experience, he will prove a wonder. Of course he may not play a game with the Pirates. Manager Clarke may decide that he cannot use the youngster and turn him over with string attached to some high class minor league club. but he will not likely be allowed to get clear away from the Pirate fold until Clarke has looked him over carefully.
 Lee Magee, the Cincinnati lad, who played on the same team with Camp bell, and who will be tried at second base by the St. Louis Cardinals, is en- thusiastic in his praise of Campbell.
 T believe that Campbell is the fast est man in the country getting down to first base" said Magee. If the ball he hits takes two hops before it gets to the infielder, Campbell will beat it out"

IN DEFENSE OF SPIKES.
Baseball Players Don't Want Them
 Abolished.

It Is the hour of purity in sports" A great wave for saner and less Stren- uous football confronts the public and the mogulS of the game are Writhing in the agony of trying to eliminate all danger. In baseball the spike quection stands in about the same category. Yet the players themselves, almost without exception, demand spikes and in their present form. It is highly interesting their stand in the matter. They are the actual sufferers, and their view point is noteworthy and valuable, to say the least.
 Why make the game slower?" is the pertinent query of Dutch Schaefer, the great second baseman Of the Wash ingtons and former captain of the De- troit champions. Do you want to asks Joe Tinker the clever shortstop of the Chicago Cubs, former world champions. Shall we serve tea on the edly the greatest batsman Of modern mainstay in the Pittsburg Pirate ma chine
 The men who get spiked during a game are the infielders and the catch CTS, for the most part. Yet they are the very persons who are clamoring for the retention of the spikes. They claim that an injury from spiking is due to carelessness on the part of the man hurt. It is their contention that a base runner never Intentionally spikes a rival

PURGING OF STOCK MARKET. Bears Fruit-Good Absorptive Demand
 Shown at All Levels.

New York, Jan. 21.-The stock mar l ket gave further evidence today of the good effect of the purging and rectify- -1g process to which it has been sub jected this week. A good absorptive demand was shown at all levels during the day. At the outset there was some the possibility of after effects from the Hooking Coal collapse and the endorsements which it brought. This feeling was responsible for the few important stocks below last nights closing level especially Amal- gamated Copper. That stock was af- fected to a degree by reports of re- per and by the continued pi1ing up of stocks of the metal in Europe. The l S-4 point dip ip Amalgamated Cop per had only moderate influence on the general list and the decline served to bring out latent demand which proved an obstacle to further depres- sion. There was some selling, also. of the Hartman Pacifics on account of the mornings report that the depart ment of justice had definitely deter mined to proceed with the suit to dis solve the merger between those com panies. The later announcement that the question was under advisement yet, had an influence in advancing prices.
 The steady Improvement in the mon ey market and investment situation abroad was a helpful influence on the New York stock market. Investment purchases of securities were furnished d from the continent to London and with ontinuing effect here The decline in fluenced by purchases both of stocks and cotton here for foreign account. Bankers also sold exchange against the placing of their finance bills with London lenders. The assurance thus given of resources to meet the ripen- ing requirements for new capital flo- tations and for carryine on projected enterprises is a prime factor in the more cheerful tone of the financial markets.
 Buying to cover shorts by the bears was an influence in the days rise, but measures against the shorts did not seem to be aggressively pursued. The rise in prices was the occasion for some rumors of coming favorable de- velopments. The sharp advance in Pullman shares revived rumors of an intended extra distribution on the stock. The imminence of the United States Steel quarterly dividend meet ing, which is to occur next Tuesday, made that stock the subject of divi- dend rumors also. These took the form of an intended extra disburse- ment on the stock in addition to the regular 1 per cent. quarterly dividend. The vigorous advance in United States Steel was notable sustaining influ- ence the whole market. but no au- thentic information could be secured as to the directors intentions regard ing the coming dividend.
 Preliminary estimates of the weeks currency movement pointed to an- other heavy influx of cask to bank reserves. something near $15,o00, 900 having been received apparently from all sources combined. The stock mar ket of the week warrants an infer nf a substantial TadTrCfinn in ha loan account and consequent large addition to the margin of the surplus reserve

Willimantic, Jan. 21.-Two wrestling and two sparring exhibitions comprised the preliminaries to the main go, the Murphy Collins handicap match, that completed the fine card that was put on at the Windham Athletic club rooms this evening. Kid Spivins and Piko Barber furnished amusement for seven minutes, Barber winning two falls. Peter Lewis refereed. The second was a ten minute exhibition between Peter Lewis and Peter Young, neither obtaining a fall.
 Announcer L. N. Dondero next put on Kid Wi1kerson of Lowell and Rob inson, the young colored wonder of this city, for a boxing bout of four two- minute rounds. Wilkerson was too heavy and shifty for his opponent. The event of the evening was a vol untary sparring exhibition between Frank Mclean and Fred Harris, both of this city, that caught the crowd right. They were given hearty ap- plause.
 Bill Collins of Central Village and Dan Murphy of Norwich, fright fielder of the Philadelphia Americans, then held the attention of the audience for the windup. Murphy was considerably

AN ACCIDENT PLAY.
Official Scorer Sprung a New One


 A good story told by Joe Quinn, the veteran St. Louis ball tosser, concerns an instance of original scoring. He says:
 I've seen many a funny play come off in my time, but I think St. Paul holds the medal for the scene of a queer one. One afternoon Mike Grady sent Dan Lally after a terrific fly. Dan chased the leather to the fence got his hands on the ball and then dropped it as he crashed into the board Mean while Grady hustled for second and reached there. Next morning the offi- cia1 score failed to credit Grady with his two bagger and La1ly escaped the charge of an error. .
 Is "sWhat kind of funny business is this score work?' asked Grady as soon as he found the official scorer. Where's that hit I made yesterday Why, really, Mike, answered the O. S., T couldn't give you a hit on that Lally got his hands on it and ft wouldn't be fair, you know, to the pitcher
 |" But you don't give Lally an error,' protested Grady
 "-No,' answered the Keeper of the Saints record. He was going pretty fast, and the fence knocked the ball out Of his hands I couldn't give him an error for that
 "FWell, if don't get a hit and Lally doesn't get an error,' said the puzzled Grady, what do you call it?'
 That is what I call an accidental pIayi"' was the startling. original so- lution of the problem given by the St. Paul man."

NEW LONDON READY
 FOR NEW BALL LEAGUE
Fans in Whaling Town Showing In- terest in Proposed Al-Nutmes League.

While persons who support sports are not inclined to take much interest in the outdoor affairs which come in warm weather. and SnowballS are more numerous than baseballs these days, the large group of baseball lovers in New London is showing interest in the proposition to organize a genuine Connecticut State league to start playing next summer. The idea of organizing clubs in cities like New London, Norwich, Middletown, Derby, Bristol, Willimantic, Meriden and Danbury isn't new by any means, but was suggested years ago when the Connecticut league began to lap over the border into Massachusetts. The growth of the league has been a oood thing for the Hartford, Springfield, and Holyoke clubs, but the other cit ies have trailed along and have just managed to keep in the game. Meri- den and New Britain do not belong. and Bridgeport lives only through the ORourxe policy.
 With teams made up of young play CTS who are trying to break into fast aries, the proposed league could give the fans" baseball like the good old days of the New London Athletic club. when the New London semi-pro- fessionaIs made the state leaguers hustle to win and all the games were fought to finish.
 If Humphrey can put the idea into motion he will deserve the strong pat ronage of New London and the thanks of the community at large, for base ball is an attraction in the summer time which draws attendance from nearby towns and interests summer residents. The game has been dead long enough here and in Norwich to make a revival proftable.-New Lon don Telegraph.

would be stolen if we wore tennis shoesg, said Schaefer on his return from the Cuban trip. Do you imagine that heavy stockings padded to the limit would tend to increase our speed ? Are rubber spikes the thing to cling to a slippery field ." The veteran of many hard fought fields and a base runnner of enviable reputation laugh ed heartily. Why, say" he contin- ued. i've wouldn't have chance on earth-te-f1it up a fast pace in game under those conditions."~
 Joe Tinker, who is an actor in the winter time and who has deserted the "legit' for the vaudeville lines, is a logical thinker. On all matters base partner, Johnny Evers. Say" he ex- claimed while discussing the proposi- ton in Murphy's office the other day have you considered the rpatter care- fully? If you have, how can you con-. sistently take spikes away from us and yet allow the college track men to re- tain them in more dangerous form?
 Take a pole vaulter, for instance. He leaps high in the air and in de- scending cannot completely control his fall. He often spikes himself, and his spikes are like needles. Then there are the snrinters. During the exciting part of the quarter mile run they often spike each other while attempting to gain the pole. But you don't hear of any reform on the part of the pro- fessors: Are ballplayers to be made to
 
 In the recent worlds series at De- troit several Tigers were severely hurt by Pirate runners in one, game. Tom Jones was especially banged up. Yet the papers said the next day that eV- cry injury was due to the efforts made by the players in checking Pirate run ners. They sacrificed themselves for the good of their team by attempting to block their men. As the runners have the freedom of the line the i'm f1elders must look out for themselves, the players coRtend.
 "If an infielder plays his position as it should be played there would be no injuries to speak of," said Tinker. Just remember that the runner has the right of way and play accordingly. I take particular pains to study every player and to note the way he goes down aline. Every man has an indi- vidual method which is seldom depart ed from. With this in mind there should be no hurts. If there are it's because the man with the ball either took a chance or because he doesn't study his opponents"
 In the meantime the magnates have apparently shelved the question. They realize that speed would be sacrificed if any innovation were made. Fans like action and the magnateS know it.

eeeRs HAS BIG SEEING.
Trainer shafer's Predictions for the
 1910 Campaign.

Whether during the racing or in winter quarters, the racing and train~ Ing string of the veteran horseman, E. Y. Geers, always attracts more attention than that of any other train CT Tn the country. This has been true Tor many years past and will remain so while Pap" is alive.
 As every trotting. horseman knows, the Geers string is now located at Billings park track, Memphis and con- tains for the present 33 head from which his campaigning material for the season of 1910 will be selected
 The first direct information about Geers' stable has been received from l.. $. Shaver, who will be better known to horsemen under the popular name of Leff For many years Jeff has acted as second trainer to Mr. Geers, yet even in that secondary ca- pacity he is recognized as a high class trainer and conditioner and in cases of actual racing he has shown very creditably against the .old man."
 Tn a letter to a friend in New York Jeff says:
 ''The greatest improvement seen in any horse is in the fast trotter, Dem arest, and this was brought about bv Pap reducing the weight on the horse, with shoes as light as six ounces in front. which made Demarest an en- tirely different horse, stepping a mile In 2.O7 and the last in 100.
 The Harvester looks just what he is, the king of trotters. and when you see him in his race this year and mark In your score card a mile in 2.02, just remember what your Uncle Jeff told you last winter.
 "rhe great trotter will reach that mark before we get back home in 1910. He is in superb condition now and looks like he is ready to go and beat the very best in the country.
 "Pap's old bread winnter. Walter Di- rect, 2.05 1-2, is here, and looks as if he will stand training and once more come out and beat the very best in his class as he did once by winning everything in sight and closing h1s racing season as the largest money winning pacer of the turf.
 Another trotter which you fellows will have to watch when the bell rings is Marie N., POS IA, the good mare that received a lot of joshing afteB gaining the honor of being the first 2.10 trotter of last season. Marie is getting big and strong and I am sure will do things next year in such han dy style as to turn the tables on her detractors. Put her down below the 2.05 mark and again remember what your Uncle Jeff told you.
 Pap has one of the finest lot of green things ever in his training sta ble this early in the season. Many of them are not only good looking, but promise to develop into stake win ners, when they enter in races Of course, you and all the boys in New York as well as all over the country, would like to know who and what they are, but there is no information on that point for the present. and l would advise you to wait and find out when the right time arrives"

SPORTS OF ALL SORTS.

Hung Mcintosh has offered Freddy Welsh $5,000 and two round trip fares to box Johnny Summers in Australia.
 It has been definitely settled that Lewis will be held in Paris, February 5.
 Al Kubiak, Eddie Curtis and George Gunther, who are now in England are going to Russia to give boxing exhi- bitions.
 Although Tom Sharkey gives Jeff fries a great boost and advises others to hook the family heirlooms and get s bet down, he evidently doesn't intend to wager anything himself.
 Jim Hall, the ex-Australian middle weight, who defeated Bob Fitzsimmons in the land of the kangaroo. has been arrested in Kansas City on the charge of selling tickets for a fake ball.
 They are giving gold belts to light weight champions in England. Until turn with one of the said gold girdles it will be impossible to even guess it's equivalent in coffee and sinkers.
 Willis is Leever's only rival for the distinction of being the oldest pitcher in the National league in point of four years for Pittsburg, after having been secured from Boston at the close of the 1905 season.
 According to Willie Lewis, who is in Paris. Sam Langford turned down an offer of s3.500 for his end to box Joe Jeanette in Paris Lewis further claims that Langford could have got $3,500 in each of three bouts that the Parisian promoter wanted to put on.
 Cincinnati will abandon the scout system of securing new players. Louis Heilbronner and Tom Mccarthy have been notified by Owner Hermann that their services will no longer be re- quired. Manager Griffith will rely on hearsay as to where the real talent lies.
