When trading was re- sumed here London came into the mar ket as a heavy seller, not only of Canadian Pacific, but Union Pacific Steel, Analgamated and other stocks Sales for London account, amounting to 3O,000 or more shares, were instru- mental in forcing off prices sharply al the outset. The weakness was ac- centuated by bear selling here and by iDsiStent pressure against Union Pa cffc, due to disappointment over the latest plans for dissolution of the Hartman system. Reading also was under pressure, but Southern Pacific was relatively firm. There was ev1- dence of liquidation among the stand ard stocks and the undertone was feverish and unsettled to the end.
 Another decline was shown in the n FtlIrnnaa N stocks, which are 2,500 tons lower than at the middle of May and 12,000 lower than a year ago. Exports of copper for May showed an increase of over 5000 tons.

HIGH STARTED AS PITCHER.
Lefty Had Doc Walsh of the Browns
 as His Battery Partner.

According to a Detroit despatch, Hughie High started on his baseball career as a pitcher, with Doc Walsh of the Browns as his battery partner. That was long time ago. on the sand lots of St. Louis Incidentally, the team was called the Talking Machines. Its name was the result of Walsh's gabbiness behind the bat. High was a fair sized youngster at 15. but he wouldn't grow. The St. Louis fan, who was supporting the team. managing it and generally looking after the inter- ests of the boys. shifted High to the outffeld and put Walsh on short. They have been there ever since.
 High and Walsh went up quite way together. They played on the same high school team and won two championships for the school They stepped up into the St. Louis Trolley league together, but there they sep arated. The little Tiger outfelder first had a big league contract offered him in 1910, when he signed with the Browns for $500 year. Hedges didn't even give him a workout, but sent him to Hartford. Here he played brilliant ants, but he made an offer in August. Tom Connery, then manager of the club, didn't dare let High go at that state of the game. He was afraid the fans would be sore. So it was not till 1913 that High got his real tryout in the big show. Here he is with Detroit. looking as good as any youngster that has come in for long while.

PENNSYLVANIA ATHLETES
 WIN COLLEGE CHAMP PIoNSHIP
John Paul Jones of Cornell Sets New
 Record for Mile Run.

Cambridge Mass, June 2.-With a total of A points and a lead of 1-2 points over the Harvard athletes Pennsylvania won the national inter collegiate track and. field champion ship in the Harvard Stadium Satur- day. Because of the inability of John Paul Jones to win his half mile race against Brown, of Yale, Cornell fin ished in fourth place, with IT 1-2 points, being beaten by Michigan, which made remarkably strong fin 1sh with 19 points. Pennsylvania owes her victory to McCurdy, who took the two mile event from Spel den, of Cornell. and to the wonderful sprinting of Lippincott and Patter- son, each of whom equalled the inter collegiate records in the dashes.
 John Paul Jones, CornelPs sensa- tional middle distance runner, led Norman Taber, of Brown. to the tape by more than eight yards in the mile run and made a new worlds amateur record of 1 min. 14 2-5 seconds. Jones could probably have clipped this time by a second or more had he not taken things rather easy until the last quar- ter. Then he showed a phenomenal burst of speed, and almost before the immense crowd in the stand could realize what was happening he had flashed by Taber At every stride he increased his speed, and when he breasted the tape he had beaten his own worlds record of two years ago by one second. He ran his last quar- ter in 1minute 1 4-5 seconds, and when lie finished he did not show the slightest signs of fatigue.

GOLF SEASON OPENS.
Memorial Day Events-Those Who
 Won in the Matches.

The formal opening of the golf sea- son of 1913 was marked by open house at the Norwich Golf club Memorial day.

Match play against bogie was the morning feature, and the first prize, golf clubs, went to Archibald Mitchell, 4th., 2 up, and the second prize, golf balls, to J. D. Moulton, all square. In the aft ernOon there was a ball sweepstakes. The balls were divided into two prizes, 75 per cent. to the first and 25 per cent. to the second the winners being J. D. Moulton (S) 80, and A. H. Chase (S) S9. Refreshments were served throughout the day and dancing was enjoyed in the evening. The greens conmittee-J. Ralph Howe, chairman, Archibald Mitchell, 4th, and w. Hum phrey AImy-Were present during the day.
 The committee and Pro. J. c. Pair man have given the golf players a new rating, based on the Caullzins system, which has been adopted by the Ma uional Golf association. The handicaps are arranged with par of the course as the basis. By the arrangement the men who have been playing scratch now get eight strokes, and the handi- cap men have their handicaps increas- ed all along the line. This system has been taken up by the state clubs, and by it there is only one scratch man in the country, Jerome Travers, the naS- tfonaI champion.

New London, Conn, June 2.-In the sixth inning of the game with Bridge port today Centerfielder Briggs over ran a hit by McGamwell and when Right Fielder Nealon retrieved the ball and threw it to the plate, Briggs as- sauIted Nealon. struck him repeatedly, knocked him down and only desisted when he was seized by players of both teams. It was an outrageous affair and denoralized the New London team. Radabough, who had been pitching good ball, allowed hits to the next three men up and four runs were scored by the visitors. The Planters made game fight of it with a patched up team, Briggs and Nealon having been ordered out by the um- pire. Snyder was taken out in the eighth after two hits and two wild pitches. Radabough was replaced by Waller after Foye had batted for him.

DANTELSON
DEBTS TEN YEARS OLD.
Danieison Names in Springfield Mans FaiIure-Sums Were Charged of Long Ago.


 An item Tn a Boston paper Monday evening says that Charles T. Baclkus, a broker of Springfield, Mass, filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy with the U. $. district court at Boston Mon day. He gave his liabilities as S291,- 323.69, with no assets. Among the heavy creditors the following were listed: First National bank of Putnam, $25,- 900; John A. Paine, DanieIson, $35. 900; Windham County National bank, Dam ielson, $l2,97S. Inquiry here Monday night developed the information that the liabilities noted above are some that occurred over ten years ago. about the time when MT. BaclIus was cashier of the national bank here Cashier Nathan D. Prince says that all of these liabilities of Burgess were charged off the books of the Windham County Ma tional bank before that institution re- opened for business after the crash that marked the close of that period of it's business about ten years ago. TE1e liabilities represent lo-ses directly or indirectly by MT. Backus, MT Prince says, but every cent was charged orr ten years ago, and-at the present time it has absolutely no effect on the finan- ciaI condition of the institution. Cash fer G. Harold Gilpatrick of the Putnam National bank makes an explanation practically the same as MT. Princes At that bank also the losses were charged off ten years ago, but were only $1,S00, instead of the $25,O0O claimed in the press despatch. MT. Paine says that he lost through MT. Backus. but not anywhere near as much as $35,000, and that his loss, like that of others, was charged off ten years ago.
