The late king of Siam had for full name Phra Bat SOmdeth Phra Para minor Mana Chulalongkorn Phra Gnu la Chum Klo Chow Yu Hua, and this does not include his titles. A wag in Bombay saw it in the paper when the ruler was visiting that city and was being received by the British officials and passed it over to young Irish subaltern with the challenge that he pronounce it. The young fellow look ed at it moment and then handed it back.

creased prosperity from greater busi-


 .T do not think. the effect of the agreement will be to reduce prices or farm and food products here, but the Canadian farmers will receive more for their wares. The concessions Will eventually rebound to our benefit predict there will be a very mucI- larger increase in trade than we get from Porto Rico and the Philippine es and at much less cost. The effect Of the concessions should not be meas ured by either party in dollars and cents, but the matter should be look ed at from the larger point of view as to the advantage which will ac- crue to both countries in the more intimate trade relations which must necessarily fallow in the years to come.%
 "So far as. Connecticut is concern ed especially, Canada gives conces- sions on cream separators, agricui- tural implements, typewriters, brass products and certain machinery and other articles made in our state"
 Representatives Henry and Higgins say they favor the treaty.

HERE'S A REAL HOPE OF WHITE
 RAGE IN TOWN

Look into this. Bridgeport has a white mans hope. Ever since stor- ies have been emanating from all parts ing the arising of a new hope or hitherto "'unknown'' in this village. and that burg, there was a stalwart youth in this city who finally con- vinced himself that he was the goods. Quietly he set to training. telling his friends that he was just going through the stunts to reduce weight.
 The young man referred to is James Quinlivan. son of MT. and Mrs. James Quinlivan. of 252 Black Rock avenue The youth. who is just 19. touches the yard stick at feet II inches. and weighs in at the present time at 220 pounds He has remarkable arm as a firen10h with the New Haven road.
 Quinlivan has been in training for the past four months. spending most of his time in the gymnasium of the South End club. His daily stunts, besides the gymnastic work, include a run around the race course at Seaside Park. He has so perfected himself that he can make the mile in less than five minutes. Quinlivan besides pos is clever with his dues. He has been under the care of able tnstruc- tors and feels that today he can make start to do away with those who feel that they should pose as ring artists. He is open to challenges and issues a sweeping defi to any heavy weight boxer in Connecticut. The faster they come the better. and the more experience he will obtain. ''Im no champions" says Quinlivan, ''but I believe that with the training a few years in thd ring will give me. good living and constant applica ton to work. that I'll eventually reach those heights to which all boxers aspire"

CRACK SKATER
 RESIDES HERE Young Swedish Machinist Wiped Out Records Yesterday Learned How to Glide on the Steel Runners in His Native Sweden-Will go After
 the Best

John Ahlbin, the former crack skat- CT of the Swedish Army proved that he his championship material yester- day afternoon at Berkshire pond when he skated 44O. yards in 38 seconds, beating both indoor and outdoor American championship records of last year. Ed. Lamy won the Saranac Lake tournament event last Friday by skating the same distance in 40 2-5 seconds. Ahlbin says that with smooth ice he can make the distance in less than 35 seconds. Ahlbin skated over the course against time in Al seconds and when he made the distance in 3S seconds, Charles Bushy, a local skat- CT started with him. Bushy did not get away good at the word and did not cover the distance.
 Ahlbins feat was witnessed by about 1000 people. After the announcement as to the time there were numerous disputes concerning records and many of the enthusiasts had come to the pond armed with books containing skating records.
 The World almanac which is accept ed as a standard authority states that the American record for 440 yards was established in 1896 by H. P. Mosher. His time was 35 1-2 seconds made upon smooth Ice III COmpoC1C1On.
 In the Worlds championships held at Denmark last year there was no 40 yard event. The nearest distance was 800 metres (546S yards) and this was won in 46 3-10 seconds by Oscar Mathieson of Norway.
 In this country the National Outdoor championship for 40 yards was won last year at Orange Lake near New burgh, N. r., by Joseph Miller of New York in 43 seconds
 Ed. Lamy won the indoor 40 yard championship last year at Cleveland, Ohio,; in 38 4-5 seconds.
 Ahlbin intends to look for some matches in New York State in the near future. He is "A years of age and has been in this country for two years. He is a machinist employed by Coulter & Mckenzie and resides at PIT Lindley street Ahlbin learned how to skate in Sweden while a mem- Der of the army and had no idea of following it as a profession when he came to this country.
 There has been more opportunity for skating on Berkshire pond this year than for several years past. He is surprised that there are not more fast skaters in this city than there are, not realizing at first that Bridge port does not have many days during the year when there is good ice.

NEW HAVEN'S PROTESTS
 ARE NOT CONSIDERED BY
 BASKETBALL LEAGUE MEN

Failure on the part of Manage Frank L. Trisch of the New Haven team of the Connecticut State Basket ball League to properly file protests which he had brought against games lost by his team in this city and in Derby. resulted yesterday at meet ing the league in New Haven. in the throwing out of the protests. The leagues takes the Spalding rules as their foundation. Sec. 8. Rule 12. states that a protest must be filed with the secretary. in writing. forty eight hours after the game. Manager Trisch filed his protest of the Derby days after the encounter. The pro- test of the Bridgeport game was not filed with the secretary till yester- days meeting.
 Manager Trisch protested the game played here on Wednesday. Jan. A. when New Haven lost out 24-23. He claimed that the referee (Joe Waters) erred on two decisions. which if all lowed would have made New Haven the winner. One was on calling a foul on a New Haven man after dribbling the ball. Al Burdick of the Bridge port team threw the foul. Referee Waters held that the New Haven
  other contention was that a thrown basket was disallowed by the referee who claimed that the man was out of bounds. Manager Trisch claimed that the man had one foot in bounds, and that therefore the throw was proper. As both plays were decisions of the referee. and as his rulings as in football are final it is hard to see how Manager Trisch's protest even if it was legally filed. would have any standing with the league managers. His protest against the game played on the ground that the official was incompetent. In both instances Man ager Trisch was given leave to with draw. which he did not without reluct- ance
 The meeting was called for the pur- pose of considering the protest of the Derby-New Haven game. and for other matters that might arise The meeting was presided over by Presi- dent Doe" Hull of New Haven All the directors were present. Bridge port was represented by Manager John Leavy. The latter was a much sur prised individual when the New Ha- Bridgeport game protest was read. It was the first intimation he had re- ceived that there was a kick over the result
 AS the league is nearing a close. and for first position. Manager Leavy brought the matter of the possibility of tie for first place at the end of the season to the league directors. On his motion it was decided that should there be a tic resulting, a se- ries of three games should be played off between the two ontenders, each team to have a contest at home, and the third game if necessary in neu- tral city. Manager Leavy amended his motion later by adding that the
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-01-30

third game. should it be necessary, must be played on a regulation court. This was adopted. At the present time the Bridgeport is the only regu- 1ation floor. 70 X 50 feet. around the circuit.
 It was ordered that all postponed games must be played off before the season is declared closed. Bridgeport has two postponed games. both at home. one with New Haven and the other with Naugatuck.. These games came about through the failure of the Bridgeport management to obtain a suitable court at the beginning of the season. the residents at that time playing all their games abroad.
 The teams being quite evenly match managers brought up the matter of competent officials In some of the cities it is impossible to obtain suit able referees. Oftentimes one of the players having to be pressed into ser vice. This very often works a. dis Bridgeport has been fortunate in this respect in having the services of Joe Waters, who for a number of sea- sons has been officiating in athletic contests of many kinds. Tn the fu- ture, however, Doc" Hull of New Haven will referee all games He has long held an enviable reputation as an impartial official in the Elm City. it being for this reason that he was chosen as head of the league.
 According to rule adopted by the league at the start of the season. the names of all players had to be filed with the secretary on or before Jan. 29. Each club was allowed ten play CTS. Games played after that date. wherein players not listed participated, would be declared forfeited to the op- posing clubs. The following lists were handed to Secretary Ahearn of Nau- gatuck:
 Bridgeport: William O'Malley. Mich hammer. Chief Snyder. All Miller, Joe Heating. Harry Cahill. George Swenson and John Leavy
 Naugatuck: Happy. Edwards, O'Don- nell. Welch. Mccarthy. OLaughlin, Ltttleiohn. Androsky and Dillon
 New Haven: Cobb. McAndrews, Parks. Stowe. Morrison. Sake. Green berg. Alderman. Parker and Trisch-
 Derby: Lowanalder, Canty. Kilmar- tin. Lewis. Jones. McConachie Daven- port. Doyle. Ahearn and Stevens.
 The league race is becoming quite exciting with every one of the four teams at the present time having a look-in for first place. New Haven took a big jump last week by taking two great contests from the Nauga- tuck five This weeks games will have considerable bearing on the final result. The schedule for the week is:
 Monday Derby at New Haven: Wednesday. New Haven at Bridgeport; and Friday. Bridgeport at Naugatuck.

Gotch is without doubt, the greatest grappler who has ever bowed to the plaudits of the multitude. He is fast as light ming and is the only man who has ever put Zbysszko on his back.

He had offered the two 8, 900 to appear in this burg He had anticipated, if the match was secured to have it run off at the Park Theatre Had this, been accomplished there is no doubt but that on that day Bridge port would be the mecca for the wrest- ling fraternity from all over the coun- try Prof Jim had visions of special trains tearing in from the big city, dumping it's load of sports into this village. But all that is changed now, with the completion of the match for New York.
