SPORTING NOTES.

By defeating Dartmouth, 5 to 1, at the Boston arena Saturday night, Cor nelPs team became the undefeated in- terco1legiate hockey champions of 1911. The individual and team play of the Ithacans was consistently brilliant, while the Dartmouth mems passing of the ball was very unfortunate at times. A dozen penalties were im- posed for foul play.
 Guy Fisher in winning the Live Oak handicap, value $1,500, the fourth and feature event at Moncrief, Florida, on Saturday, established new track rec ord for six and one-haf fur1Ongs. He ran the distance in 1.19 3-5, a full sec ond below the old mark. Favorites fared badly. Only two won and Jockey McTaggart was suspended for one week for rough riding.
 Yale oarsmen left the boathouse on Saturday and tried outdoor rowing. Six boats were launched, three varsity and three freshmen eights and Coach Kennedy said Saturday night that he hoped that the squad would not be driven back indoors this season. Their padding consisted of spins between the Tomlinson and Forbes avenue bridges. Van Sihderson stroked the varsity. No fixed order was main tained in the eight.

FINANCIAL AND. COMMERCIAL.
VIOLENT DECLINE.
Market Almost DemoraIized by De
 cision of Commerce Commission.

New York. Feb. 24.-The most vio- lent decline in stocks which has taken place in many months occurred today as result of the decision of the in- terstate commerce commission against the railroads in the proposed freight increases. The financial district was entirely unprepared for so complete a rejection of the claims of the com panies, and the early session of the stock exchange was characterized by extensive liquidation which almost verged upon demora1ization.
 Prices of all the active issues de- clined to points at Che opening on enormous liquidation coupled with series of bear assaults. This was followed by concerted supporting movement, presumably on the part of the most powerful factors in the f1nan- cial world. and was effective in bring ing about partial recovery before the end of the first hour. Operations for the day were the heaviest in many weeks. aggregating 997,000 shares, as compared with 25S,000 yesterday. Sales of the first hour today amounted to 462,000 shares.
 The first effect of the decision was where American securities fell from two to eight points on heavy selling, much of which doubtless resulted from orders sent from this city over night. This mOvement was said to have aggregated over 100000 shares, some of which was probably for con- tinental account, The heavy selling of Americans in London was responsible for a sharp advance in foreign ex- change here on purchases of bills for remittance to the other side.
 At the opening here the feature cf greatest interest were United States Steel, Reading and Union Pacific, which opened in blocks of 3O,0O0 shares, 10000 and 5000 respectively, at losses ranging from 6 5-S to 4 IA points. Other active issues in the railway group recorded equally heavy declines on somewhat less active trad- ing. and the industrials went off in sympathy to a lesser extent. It was at this point that the demand made itself felt in partial recoveries, and the market from that time became more nearly normal.
 Forecasts of tomorrow's bank state ment indicate that another cash gain may be expected.
 Bonds were weak, following the course of the stock market. Total sales, par value, $3,744, 900.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call

INJURIES REDUCED WITHOUT
 AFFECTING THE INTEREST
President Lowell of Harvard Thinks New Rules Regarding Football Make Game All Right.


 President A. Lawrence Lowell of Harvard is authority for the state- ment that the revised football rules have reduced materially the injuries which have heretofore characterized the game. He made this statement in his annual report to the board of over- seers of the university.
 : President Lowell holds that the changes made in the rules governing the game have not detracted from the spectacular features of the sport and intimates that when the players be- come more familiar with the new rules the injuries will decrease in proportion. In his report he says:
 '9he feeling that intercollegiate games of football were too dangerous to life and limb has resulted in an eff fective revision of the rules. These have not, perhaps, been in operation long enough to produce their ultimate results.
 Tt would seem that the teams in some of the colleges have not yet be- come accustomed to them, but the changes have certainly not made the game a less interetting spectacle, and among Harvard's players, at least, the injuries illave been greatly reduced.

 Duffy Years Ago.

Michael Sheehan, the ball player, who brought out Hugh Duffy, now manager of the Chicago Americansy was in South Manchester recently, vis- iting his brother, John Sheehan. Hugh Duffy and Michael Sheehan were em- ployed as weavers in one of the small todwns in the western part of the state in the early sos. The first cloth that Duffy wove was so poor that he was fined more Hlan his wages amounted to. This so enraged him that he threw up his job and with the money earned by Sheehan went to Rockville and se- cured a position as weaver. Duffy's rise as q ball player Is well known to all fans, until he became an outf1elder in the Boston Nationals. Sheehan, al. though considered better ball player in those days than Duffy, went west and played on teams in Indiana. Since han says that his desire to help friend is what put him out of organized ball. Sheehan left for Maine and at least one Manchester player is to be given chance in the Maine league as 8 result of his visit.
