| though he had been shot full of power ful dope. His legs wabbled, his punch es went wild and a Is year old youth might have dropped him at any stage; i; yet he stayed fourteen rounds with Al Kaufman, and the few who remained for the finish of the fiasco went away wondering how long it was going to take the coming champ to arrive at his present gait. Expert mathematicians figured that he would be champion in exactly 7.345,97S years. Mike Schreck, Dave Barry again and Jack Twin followed. Jack Twin stayed twenty-five rounds and should have had a draw
 We are not rushing this young man said Billy Delaney. We are letting him take his time. He will be champion some day"
 Last year he fought Joe Grim, Bat ting Johnson, Jim Flynn, Fred Brad ley (third time) and Terry Mustain. Al won these fights and Billy Delaney was enthusiastic.
 Then they brought along that strong and tough young citizen, Jim Barry, and he fought Kaufman nearly all night. Kaufman won, still taking his time.
 His fourth eastern trip was disas- trous. This time there was no kidding about it-Billy said his man was ready at last. Time had been taken he had not been rushed.
 Just to show that he was good enough to belt the life out of Jack WAS naIcneu NlIn Tony Ross, the big fat trial horse Johnson came to see the fight and went away laughing.
 Tony slipped over one terrific wallop to the jaw and had Kaufman reelini and staggering all over the ring. Os course, Kaufman came back gamely and honestly earned the decision, but for a few minutes itNseemed that Ross would surely get him.
 No class" said the New York Ver- dict.
 Al wasn't happy. He went back home and signed to fight Johnson ten rounds. Johnson slaughtered him sci entifcally, giving Kaufman fine chance to exhibit his gameness, which has never been questioned.
 If in five years he learned enough about the game to escape by the barest margin a knockout at the hands oe Tony Ross. there is no question but that he will be a champion-if he has time enough. The trouble is that most of us will not live long enough to see it.
 Figuring on the present generation, Kaufman will not do- There is some thing vitally wrong with his style of fighting. To boil it down to a mouth ful, Al lacks the class and no amount of press agent work will make up for this defect.
 Time to take him away.-CIeveland Plain Dealer.

WILLIMANTIC WANTS TO
 ENTER BASEBALL LEAGUE.
Mayor Dunn is as Enthusiastic as Ever
 But Suggests Trolley League.

Especial to The Bulletin.)
 Will{mantic, Jan. 26.-'WilIimantic is fast becoming enthusiastic over the possibility of a baseball league in this end of the state and every day now many of the fans congregate at the mayors store and do a little beeing. Mayor Dunn himself has broken out again with the fever and in an inter view with The Bulletin correspondent Wednesday,, when asked what he thought of the recent article in that paper relative to the formation of a league that would include New Lon don, Norwich Willinantic and some other places, stated that he believed the author of the same was on the right track, but that his own idea of the situation was that what might be termed a trolley league be formed, comprising but four teams, represent ing Westerly, R. l., New London, Nor wich and Willimantic; that the salary limit be strictly confined to a $500 basis and that no attempt to raise the lid should be permitted. Make out a schedule for four games a week. two at home and two abroad The idea of playing Saturday games in the cities where there was the greatest demand for so doing was a good one and he showed wherein Norwich and Willi- mantle were such cities, New London and Westerly always showing in the past that they were just as good Fri day game drawing nlarts as any other day.

THRILL OF BASE STEALING.
The Real Gingery Stuff for Player and
 Fans Alike.

'sThere is no thrill in baseball so de- l lightful as the one which goes through | ion of Catcher Jimmy Archer, the lat l est of the Chicago Cubs backstops- T.
 is pleasant to hit out two bagger,
 and especially agreeable when you land | on a home run, but give me the sen | sation of stealing a base once in a while.''
 1 This art of stealing a base is the most spectacular in baseball It is no great sight to see a splendid batter like 1 Larry Lajoie or Tyrus Cobb strike out. There is nothing there to especially send a fan to his feet with his heart in his mouth. Neither is a well placed hit so very collaborating. Of course, everybody likes batting, and lots of it.
 but it is no imposing sight But take well stolen base, one in which the runner disappears in cloud of dust and whirls around the base with one spike firmly planted in it to keep him from slipping away. That brings out
 all the noise that an enthusiast has
 stored in him.
 There is plenty of base stealing dur
 ing a season, but few players make it stand out like masterpiece. Every one can steal few during a year by Numbering down the line with all sails set. for many a throw goes wild. The science, or what might be called the "essence" of stealing, is different. Ty Cobb has it in the big show: Chance and EverS have it, so have HoblitZel, Collins, Hans Wagner and Lii Bush. These ma gnifcent base runners are finished artists, yet each has his own individual style.
 Take Cobb. for example. He is the restless type, always in motion. He jumps back and forth, trying to draw the throw of the pitcher. He bends low and then seems to spring in the air and, finally, he dashes for the next base. He is such a graceful runner that it is difficult to tell just how fast he is travelling, but his record for bases stolen is eloquent enough. Wagner is exactly opposite in style. He makes a few motions, but rather hovers over the line until he is good and ready. Then he tears down so fast and with such an impetus that it takes a lot of nerve to tag him.
 Lajoie, the splendid Nap, and Mana ger Chance of the Cubs are about the same style of base runners. Both are built along the same lines and give no great indication of speed or grace. But they both possess these two qualities in a surpassing degree. and their steal ing is magnificent Their strong point however, is in avoiding the man with the ball. They have the slide which carries them outside the sack and around 1t, their spikes clinging to the bag. This leaves about one foot which can be touched.

BASEBALL NOTES.

It won't be long now. Manager Mack has announced that he will probably start south on the 2Sth of February. He will continue the plan which work ed so successfully last season, aan1- ling the youngsters himself and .eay- ing the veterans in charge of Harry Davis.
 Pitcher Joe Bills, whom Detroit surn- ed back to Wilkesbarre after drafting from that club. should make a pretty y good outffelder. if not star twirlcr. Bills hit for BOA in the New England league and for .359 in the Easrern league last season. His hitting was a little better than his pitching.
 If the National association grant g protection to the Cuban league, it will be the same sort of slipshod prote csi )n the national commission accorded the Chicago professionals. The Gu Ian league is almost exclusively a Jl- ored field, and the national comn;is- sion draws the color line in its polite circles.

The signed contracts of Danny Mur- phy, Topsy Hartsel and Maurice Rath were received by Manager Mack of the Philadelphia Athletics this week. The men expressed themselves as being greatly pleased with the terms offered them. The signing of HartsePs con- tract casts aside all doubt as to wheth- CT the blonde headed veteran would again be a member of the White Ele- phants. Many rumors were circulated during the winter months that Hartsel would either be traded or released out right in order to land a managerial berth in a minor league.
 Manager Mack still thinks that Top sy has plenty of good baseball in him, and figures that the lay off during the greater part of last season was just the thing the veteran needed to keep him in the game a few more years.
 There are few better team workers or inside ball players in the big leagues than HartseI, and he is we'll worth the snoney OF account Of his ability to help the youngsters by his brainy coaching. During the latter part of last season, when the fight for the. pennant was hottest Hartsel was never off the third base coaching line, and his excellent judgment prevented many foolhardy attempts at scores and caused \many tallies to be made by the Mackmen.
 Glad to Get Murphy's.
 Murphy's contract coming in so early is a source of pleasure to Manager Mack. as the old reliable" was usually slow coming to time with his signed contract. One thing is certain to the management, and that is that the star of many years is well pleased with con- ditions. and writes that he looks for a banner year for both himself and the club, and thinks that Connie has the pennant winning team of the league.
 Last season Danny played great ball. and would have hit far above the GOV eted 800 mark had it not been for one long slump which fortunately did not hurt the team a great deal He went two weeks with but one hit, and pulled his average down from above 300 to about .230.
 'fMurph'' was not the kind to stay down long, and when he found his eye there was nothing to it, and till the close of the season Danny swatted the ball at a terrific chpA
 Rath Played But Two Years.
 In the opinon of Connie Mack, Rath is one of the most finished young ball players that he has ever landed, and Connie intends to carry him all season along with Machines as utility infield- CT.
 Rath has been playing professional ball but two years, having graduated from the Central Manual Training school in Philadelphia in the spring of 1908. After the close of school he went to the Wilmington club of the Carolina association, with Dick Smith.

New York, Jan. 25.-The Rev. Jo- seph Himmel, president of George town university, compared the Amer ican game of football to Spanish bull fights in an address before the George town Alumni association tonight
 The most delicate ladies, knowing nothing of the rules of the game" he said, take great interest in seeing g tackles knocked down, crushed and almost slain. if not killed outright, very much as the Spanish women like to see a bullfght and a good deal as men will make a sacrifice to go to a prizefght.
 Georgetown has already given two lives to football And l have seen broken membranes and bones. dislo- cated joints and bruised bodies car ried from the gridiron The blood shed has been altogether out of pro- portion to the athletic benefits"
