Worst Blunder Of My Caresr-Fixes
Series With McMahon-Ed Wins
Rirst Race-Refuses to Run Again
Nolan Departs for New York.

After defeating Kenny at Worcester
returned to Norwich and went to the
Miantonomo hotel, where soon after
my arrival I received a visit from the
Mcmahon people, who proposed that
ED" and I run a series of races at l,
l 1-2 and 2 miles for an equal division
Of the gate receipts, which, judging
from the interest manifested in our
former match, should amount to sew
eral hundred dollars.
Their proposition was that Ed
should win the mile and 1 the two mile
event while the third race Of l IL
miles should be run on its merits, the
best man thus winning the series.
Believing l could win the series, and
anxious to make enough money to ad-
vance myself in the sport, with which
I was then so infatuated, | consented
to their terms, and made the worst
blunder of my whole career.
I had entirely recovered my strength
and speed, after short rest. and was
full of confidence. The day Of the race
saw a fair sized crowd at the track,
land many Of my friends wished to back
me to win; but, not wishing to fleece
them, informed them l was in no con-
dition to win that day, and advised
them to walt for the next race. They
followed my advice and little money
changed hands on the result.
The late Charles McChesney Of Nor
wich was selected as referee, and we
were sent away to an even start, Nc
Mahon running well for the first half
mile, after which he tired rapidly, and
came into the homestretch much dis
tressed. At this point George Gadle,
who was a pupil of Mcmahon, crossed
20 hxTI n &c o nd
directly in front of me, urged him to
his greatest effort and he crossed the
finish line a winner by a yard.
Believing that had been fouled and
prevented from winning by Cables in
reference, the referee refused to award
McMahon the race until 1 assured him
that had been beaten fairly, But the
fact that l had not tried to win was
so apparent TO the spectators that
much dissatisfaction was expressed by
them, and MoMahen, seeing no hope
Of winning the other races, refused to
run again and retired frem the track
forever.
The affair was an injury to both of
us and finished my running career in
Norwich for soma time. I received $50
for my share OF the gate money and
at once left for New York city.
I at once accepted an offer frem Vice
President Tom ColIett and was in
stalled as trainer and track master OF
the Pastims Athletic club, The posi-
ton was worth about $50 a week, with
plenty of opportunities to run at the
many professional games held in Jenes
wood the great picnic grounds of New
York city in those DAYS

NOT ENOUGH MONEY FOR
BURNS AND BELMONT.
Main Bout at New Haven of-cluh
Couldn't Pay Guarantee.

New Haven, Conn, Jan. 29.-The
scheduled Is round fight between
Frankie Burns of New Jersey and Al
belmont of Boston before the Franklin
Athletic club here tonight was called
off by the club after the men had en-
tered the rgin, because there was not
enough money to pay the fighters.
Burns was guaranteed 500 and Del
mont $40Q, The preliminaries were
pulled off as per schedule, Tommy Shea
of New Haven outpointlng John Nun
Ice of Boston in IL rounds and Mark
Connolly of Boston having the better
of Bunny Ford of New Haven in near
ly all the 10 rounds.
When the men appeared in the ring
and the announcer made. known that
there would be no main bout it looked
for moment as though there might be
serious trouble. A few chairs were
thrown around and calls of money
back, but there was a liberal sprink-
ling of police and all attempts at
roughness were speedily quashed.
Burns manager stated that he had
been offered $3.50 to remain in New
Orleans, from which city they came
here, but rather than fail to keep his
agreement he and Burns came on. He
is undecided what action he will take
in the matter
Chief Of Police Cowles stated later
tonight that the police would take no
action in the matter, that it was up to
the club to straighten matters out.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
STOCKS sEEsAW.
Quotations OsciIIste in Uncertain Man
mar Throughout the Day.

New York, Jam 2e.-Quotatfons Of
stocks oscillated in an uncertain man
ner today. At the opening the market
was subjected to severe pressure and
prices receded abruptly. There was a
partial recovery in the first hour, but
before noon the selling was resumed
on a large scale and the list showed
decided weakness. Prices hardened
slowly in the afternoon until losses had
been. largely eliminated, but in the
last hour the pressure again became
heavy, and some Issues fell back to
about the low points Of the day. The
movement as a whole was erratic and
confusing. and seemed to indicate q
sharp conflict Of speculative opinion.
No important new influences were
brought to bear and the selling was
regarded as continuation Of the
movement of late Last week. The mar
ket still felt the effect Of the peEsim-
istic statement issued by the chairman
Of the steel board in explanation OF
the reduction in the dividend payment
on tho common stock. Bearish senu-
mant was stimulated also by prophe-
sizes that the quarterly report Of the
United States Steel corporation, TO be
Issued tomorrow, would be unfavorabls
and that Union Pacific's report for
December would disclose large cut in
earnings Union Pacific and United
States Steel were the conspicuously
weak stocks, and the unusual activity
which prevailed through the forenoon
trading conferred about them. United
States Steel opened q. point off with
q block OF 10000 shares. 1t sold own
to SO, and closed at tho low point. I'm
ion Pacific lost 1 SIS, but recovered a
large part of its decline. St Paul fell
TO 1O6, the lowest point of the year,
and within a fraction of the bottom
figure Of recent years, and did not
share in the recovery. The Copper
shares. which were influenced by a
sharp break In the price Of the metal
abroad, also closed at the low points
Of the day.
Persistent buying Of few issues,
among which New York Central, Read
ing, and Lehigh Valley we're most
prominent, was instrumental in steady
ing the list when symptoms of pro-
nounced weakness became apparent.
New York Central rose 2 points, and
Pleading and LehiBh Valley half as
much. The marlborough Metropolitan
issues were strong on the prospects of
speedy settlement Of the traction
question, and American Sugar, which
was unusually active, rose two points.
London largely increased its selling in
this market today, Aboun. 10000 shares
were disposed Of on balance for for
eisn accounts. Foreign exchange rates
were easier today, although there was
| 10 pronounced recession from the high
quotations made last week. Interna =
tfonal bankers said that unless some
material change occurred It was likely
that the near future would bring with
II exports Of gold TO London. This
bond market developed steadiness aft

active issues were affected by the

RUsIE DISCOVERED
BY ACCIDENT OR LUCK.
Famous Pitcher, Once Thought the
Greatest Ever, Picked Up by Glass
cock,

Some Of the greatest ball players
the game has ever known have been
discovered by accident or through
sheer good luck. Included are the late
Ed Delehanty, probably the greatest
and undoubtedly the hardest hitter who
ever put on a pair of spiked shoes;
Amos Rusie, who many believe was the
greatest pitcher in the game; Hans
Wagner, Ownie Bush and Ty Cobb,
says an exchange. Amos Rusie began
his career with the old Grand avenue
team in Indianapolis when indianapolis
was a member Of the old 12-club Ma
tional league. This was back In the
sos Rusie was a. pitcher, a powerful,
husky young giant, who had a world Of
speed and dazzling array of curves.
The Grand Avenues had one large pic
mic with the other teams in the old In
dianapolis City league when Rusia
pitched. Jack Glasscock was playil
shortstop on the Indianapolis National
league team at that time and Jerry
Denny was holding down third base.
Glasscock was captain of the team. He
heard Of Rusie's pitching and one Sun
day took Denny and went out to the
City league park. where Rusie played.
Glasscock watched the youngster work
and both no and Denny were so i'm
pressed ttndJ Ru6l6 was taken GOWN
town after the game.
The next day Rusie appeared at
League park in an Indianapolis uni
form. The story of his career in the
big league is now baseball history,
known to all fans. Rusie was a won
der, but his habits put him out Of the
game when he should have been in his
prime. He is now living in Vincennes,
Ind, working in a lumber yard and
dredging for mussel shells in the Wa
bash river.

Washington's sizeabIe Pitchers.

If size counts for anything, Griffith
will have a great array Of pitchers In
Washington. There is hardly a man
on his twirling staff who is not over
the six foot mark and weighs on an
average OF over 100 pounds. Groom,
Johnson, Walker. Hughes, Csshion.
Becker and even Engel and Guy John
son are all over six feet, and undoubt-
eddy make up the tallest pitching staff
Of any team in either major league.
Understood pitchers are rarity in fast
company nowadays. There was time
when there were whole lot Of little
fellows pitching in fast company.
Griffith belonged to this class. as did
Cunningham, Mat Kilroy Toad Ram
sey, Mickey Welsh and numerous 9TH
ers. But Of late years special efforts
have been made to get men Of good size
to do the pitching. There are still two
little men pitching ball in the Ameri-
can league, Knapp Of Cleveland and
Warhop Of the New York team.
