THE PARCELS POST.

The complicated problems con- nencted with the investment of pos tated carefulness in extending that in stitution, but it is difficult to see why prolonged experiments should De needed in the case of the parcels post, as the post office is already car rying four-pound parcels. The par cells post proposition merely increas- es the limit of the parcel to be car ried to II pounds and reduces the fourth class rate to what it was in 1874, eight cents a pound. One can now, through arrangemen made by the Postmaster-General send H. States to Austria, Italy, Norway, Ger many, Belgium, for 12 cents 8 pound. The parcels post is therefore not so very great an innovation. As to it's feasibility from a financial stand point, the earnings of the four great luminating. It is unnecessary to delve into the original capitalization of the express companies. It is suf fcient to say that:
 The Adams Express Company last year earned 22:1s per cent. on $12,- idends. after paying interest on a funded debt of $36,0OO,0OO per cent. bonds, which were issued as a special dividend to stock holders in 1907 and 1908.
 The American Express Company last year earned 1929 per cent. and paid 12 per cent. on s18,QO0,O00.
 The United States Express Com pany last year earned 8.93 per cent. and paid 6 per cent. on s1o,Ooo,OoO.
 The Wells Fargo Express Company is now earning at the rate of 2O.13 per cent. on S24,000,O0O, which in- cludes s16,O00000 distributed to stockholders last February as a stock dividend, together with $S,000.000 in cash.-A. w. Perrin in Moody's Mag aZine.

GRAPHING TAILS ON GOLDFISH

Among the many curious accom-. plishments of the Japanese is the art of grating fish tails. Many who. are familiar with the appearance of the bush-tailed goldfish, with its four five and sometimes six, long, wavy tails, are not aware that these are not it's own-that is, in the case of the imported Japanese fish.
 The Japanese achieve the feat CT grating fish-tails in the following manner: When the young goldfish are taken for the purpose, their flesh is extremely clear almost transpar- ent Indeed, it is possible some3 times to see almost every bone in their tiny. bodies. At this time the few that are born with two or more tails are put by themselves, and then a Japanese expert, with a great mag nifying glass adjusted before his eyes and sharp little tools handy, reaches down under the water and cuts off the tails of the plain little fish. Three or four of these are grafted upon fish selected ct the desired position near the backbone, and fastened there with tiny bandages till they adhere.
 The Japanese, swho are most skllis fut in queer feats of this kind, breed the finest goldfish in the world. This industry is a most lucrativ one, since very fine fish of this description fre- ouentIy bring exceedingly high prices. It is of record that an English col- Iector once paid as much as $2,500 for two pecimens.-Harper's Week. Iy

"Gentlemen, we have with us to- night, in this corner, Dan O'Neil champion heavyweight of two cities New Britain and Holyoke, and in this corner, Carl Pace, the speedy little lightweight, pride of Oklahoma, and Waterbury's spunk kid. Gentlemen, shake hands"
 The men refused to init each other denotfng that there was i'll feeling be- tween the two. and that the bout would be on the level, though the deal not.
 There's some crooked work here among the owners down in Water bury" said O'Neil.
 'If you say Pm crooked" snapped the little Southerner, jumping from his seat and stepping between the small card tables toward the New Britain. owner, you're blankety blank liar!'
 O'Neil saw him coming and advanc- ed to meet the attack. With Bill, the Bristol butcher, as referee, the fight went on. Here is the bout by rounds:
 Round 1-Dan swings hard for the head, but missed, and Carl lands be- hind the ear, sending his opponents eye glasses to the floor. They fall into a clinch the smaller man doing under straight rules, requiring each to protect himself at all times. and in the breakaway, Carl landed on his op- ponent's proboscis. It was not vul- nerable point, however, and there was no flow of claret. The New Britainer reached his mans body and took one in the face in return. The men fell f~,4 Ic of each rushed into the ring, pulling them apart.
 The rules of the game in this State do not permit of a decision, but ac- cording to those present, the bout was a good draw, with the smaller man having the best of the argument.
 How fckle are these Connecticut league managers. Five of them voted to uphold O'Nei-Tracy & Co.,, but to7 day they feel much ashamed of their work. They now admit that their ac- tion would not stand the light of day. and that the National Commission would send them a rebuke for their nice little piece of work. It was so babyish that Secretary James H.. ORourke of this c1ty, whoshas forgot ten more baseball than Tracy or his crowd ever knew. informed the presi- dent after the meeting that he. Tracy, should get busy at once and put stop to the controversy going higher, or the Connecticut league would be pointed out as a huge joke among baseball followers. Tracy answered that he thought it would. There. is not the slightest bit of doubt, but that Tracy, though he is not all to blame, did not conduct himself as the presi- dent of a league should It demon strates clearly that Tracy is not the man for the head of the Nutmeg cir cult. Even those who side with him are frank to admit that a man who lacks executive ability and shows par tiality is not the man to be president of a league of the standing of the Connecticut league.

MOTOR CYCLE RACES COMING
 AT AERDR0M

At a. meeting last night of the Bridgeport Motorcycle Club, the Lake and Bridgeport Motor Co. was formed to control and promote motorcycle races upon the Bridgeport Aero drom" located in Stratford.
 The motorcycle racing game, al- though very popular in the West has never been started in the New Eng land states to any extent because of the lack of push" and much credit is due Bridgeport for undertaking such a lively proposition.
 There are to be eight racing dates, beside many local match race dates, in which there will be included, anna teur trade and professional riders. The amateur trade rider events will have plenty of life and will keep the crowd on their feet whereas the pro- fessional riders, such as Chapple, the famous Flying Merlke rider and Fay Tor, the man who defeated the air. ship on his Emblem have promised the Bridgeport people sport worth Seeing.

LEAGUE NIACNATES BEGIN
 TO SEE TROUBLE AHEAD
 FOR ONELIL--TRACY GANG

ingSstock of himself when in a state ment he says that the Hoey deal was raw, though he voted for his bosses, Tracy and O'Neil.
 Mr. Cameron says: 'sI voted with the other four directors sustaining the action of Harry Durant in selling or giving Player Hoey to Dan O'Neil of way out of it according to baseball rule. Durant was president of the Waterbury club at the time and had a perfect right to dispose of any of his players. Now if Durant later sold Hoey to Pace when he did not have him to sell and fiim-f1ammed the Wa terbury man, look at 1t as a matter beyond the Jurisdiction of the league directors and is a matter for the courts to decide. I think that it comes under criminal proceeding and is a matter not to be settled by the State league directors.
 Tt was a raw deal and Hoey be- longs to Pace as everyone knows. Mr. Pace will take the matter further and I hope he gets the player. It looks to me like a clear case of trying to f1im-fam young MT. Pace and Durant is the man Pace should get after.
 ''Durant disposed of Hoey to Dan O'Neil and then sold Pace the Water bury club under misrepresentations He included Hoey's name on the list of players turned over to Pace"
 Listen to this from Harry Durant in the Waterbury Republican:
 H. R. Durant, who until last Thurs day was the president of the local club, was waiting at the Connecticut for Pace. Durant expressed surprise at the decision and in order to set himself right in the eyes of the base ball public went down to F. J: Bee tons jewelry store and deposited $500 with MT Becton, stipulating that this money shall be turned over to MT. Pace in case the decision of the high CT baseball courts award Hoey to New Britain.
 ''I have been severely banned in the press,' said MT. Durant, flor my part in this deal, and I haven't made any kick, but I have deposited the $500 to show Pace that I am not trying to de- prive him of one of the teams most valuable players.
 'oThere are some things that have never been printed about the case. When Pace and the Prince brothers deposited s1,000 for an option on the team, told Pace that he might have some trouble over Hoey and asked him to call up Tracy. He did, and Tracy said that if Hoey was under contract with Waterbury he did not See how O'Neil could get him away. He made no mention of any paper, which he had in his possession.
 "I further told Pace that if he didn't like the status of the Hoey case, he could get his money back and call the deal off Pace investigated and de- cided that nobody else had a claim to IIoey and the deal went through. It's the erookedest decfsionFever made in State league baseball and there will be something doing before it is set tled.''
 And over in New Britain they claim that Dan ONeil, single handed, gained a notable victory, and that Hoey will cavort about this season attired in Perfecto uniform. Good night and sweet dreams. It's a good joke on ONeil that he won out through his own prowess, while the odds are about 100 to ee-sixteenths that Hoey will visit Plainville only about nine times this season.

son. Manager Chance of Chicago of- fered to trade one of his players with Philadelphia for Earl Moore, the pitch CT. Dooin wired back that he would make the trade, and would demand Brown, Kling and Hoffman for the slabman. Chance didn't even answer the telegram.
 Tom Lawton of Middletown may again be a substitute umpire. He served last year, not always with sat- iSfactiOn.
 Another high-priced "phenom'' has gone to smash. Blackburn, the White Sox shortstop who cost s8OOO has de- veloped water on the knee and an X-ray photograph shows floating cartilage He may not be able to play again this season.
 Russell Ford, the star pitcher of the Yankees is very confident that he will have another big season this year. Ford remarks: T will not pitch a game this year until I am physically ready When I go in I want to be right on edge. Then there can be no excuses and I'll come pretty near winning every game I pitch.' Last year Ford won twenty six and lost six games.
 The oft-touted and much hammered O'Neil-T Tracy combination was much in evidence at the meeting and Gene Nc Cam seems to have been about the only director present who had more bone than jelly in his spinal column and was not afraid to say his soul was his own. Others thought before the meeting that 1t was a raw deal but when the roll was called, each voted as King O'Neil would have him. Waterbury, American.
 Manager Cameron of New Haven today purchased Pitcher Mayberry from the Cleveland American club.
 Hot Springs, Mo, March 22-The condition of T. Clark Rookie" catch CT for the Cincinnati Reds is reported unchanged, by attending physicians, today. Clark was injured in a prac- tice game, when he collided with Sev- eroid when the latter was trying to score. Clark is suffering from con- cussion of the brain
 There Is said to be a difference of about $25 in the figure that George M. Cameron of New Haven Is willing to pay and what George Ramon is willing to sign for.
 . Claude Stark, with the Hartford team a part of last season, is getting a big squad together for the Mon mouth team of the Central league. of which he is to be the manager this season.
 A Kansas City paper says Paddy O'Connor of Windsor Locks and Pitts burg is wanted by the team in that town as part consideration in the deal by which Hunter. first baseman. was turned over to Pittsburg
