RUELL HAS SWIM
IN ICY MILL POND
FORMER BRIDGEPORT INFTELD-
Err TAKES NfID-WINTER
PLUNGE ON DARE.

Foot Ruell, the former Bridgeport
third baseman, is getting into RUDE
Marquard's class as press agent. He
recently got mention in the public
prints for taking a swim in the icy
waters of a pond near Woonsocket,
r. I. Bob Donahue, the well known
State street sporting enthusiast, has
received a letter from Ruell in which
Foot tells of his adventures this win
ter. He has worked as a locomotive
fireman on the Boston & Albany, has
labored with a construction gang and
is now cutting ice at Woonsocket. He
expects to leave for Vancouver in the
Northwestern league about March 15-
The Woonsocket paper has the fol-
lowing story about Rue1l:
while many New Englanders are
enjoying a dip in the surf at Palm
there is one Woonsocketer who does
not need to meander from his home
city to get all the comforts of an
airy swim.
''Ulr1c Ruen, the we'll known base
ball player, who will be with the
Vancouver club of the Northwestern
league this season, emerged pink
and smiling from a pleasant bath at
Todd's pond yesterday afternoon.
f'RueIl took the swim on nothing
more than dare, not even a bag
of peanuts being bet on the result.
The clever athlete is getting into
shape and incidentally getting to-
gether some pin money by cutting
ice for the New England Coal COM
pany at Todd'ss pond.
arthur Glode, one of the workmen,
pranced around yesterday afternoon
in his bare feet and offered several
tales of hardy adventures. The
question of cold baths came up and
when Rue1I admitted that he had
taken a few in his time G1ode in
vited the ball player to join him in
little swim in the pond. 1t took
RueII but few seconds to get rid of
his clothing and a moment later he
dove into the icy water. He SWAN
around for several moments and
finally cIambered back on the ice,
no one being able to deny that he
was in the pink of condition. Mr..
GIode decided to postpone his swim
until summer comes

MARQUARD WILL
JOIN TEAM SOON
THAT SOUTHPAW WILL SOON
REPORT AT MARLIN.

The first encouraging intima ton
that 'Rube'' Vanguard, the stage
struck pitcher, would join the Giant
Squad in Texas before the training
season is over came from Secretary
John B. Foster of the New York Club
yesterday. He said that he expected
to receive word from MarQuard any
time that he would be in Marlin be-
fore the middle of the month
New York fans nave been doing more
or less worrying since it was reported
that the lanky southpaw would be out
of the game next season, and some of
Marquard's friends have written to
him asking if he wea1ly meant to quit
the game and follow the stage. Mar
guard, it is said, has assured several
of his friends here that he will be
ready to play before the training sea-
son is over.
Most Of the stories which have been
printed about Marquard's rebellion
have come from a, press agent who in
vented the yarn about a supposed dis
agreement and controversy between
the -tRube'' and Manager McGraW.
Secretary Foster said yesterday that
the club officials never placed much
stock in these reports but have be-
lieved from the first that MarQuard
would finish his theatrical tour before
the beginning of the training season
tract.
Last year *Marquard signed a three
year contract al a big salary, in which
there was said to be a bonus clause,
boosting the pitchers stipend if he
won certain number of his games.
Mathewson has the same sort of a
contract.

RJJRRITT EMPLOYEES
GET THEIR DIVIDENDS

The employees of The A w. Burritt
Co.. who are parties to the company
profit and loss sharing contract, re-
ceived their twelfth annual dividend
on Saturday. The occasion was one
of mutual congratulations.
The company received several more
applications from employees who wish
ed to sign the contract. The opinion
of both the officers of the company
and their employees is that the profit
and loss sharing idea is more produc-
tive of harmony and general good re-
suits than any other method that can
be Introduced.
There are about $50 persons en-
ployed by the company at the present
time and the number who participate
in this distribution ranges from three
quarters to seven eighths of this num-
Der. No employee is obliged to sign a
contract and there is no particular
length of service required. 1t is en-
tireIy voluntary proceeding.

The seventeen players of the New

up to the letter of the rule After
the first few days of training, Chance
noticed a few of the players taking
it easy. He then issued another or
der that every player was to keep
busy while he was on the field He
wanted them to keep In action and
said that he would have no loafina.
Manager Chance is much pleased
with the development of the pitcher.
He is watching Ford and Fisher
closely.

YALE BASEBALL PROSPECTS
BRIGHT DECLARES CAPTAIN

The Yale university baseball squad
is resolving itself into more definite
proportions The fact that the men
have the advantage of six weeks
practice so far this year and are to
get almost as much more before the
intercollegiate games begin, due TO
the new cage, should, according to
Captain Blossoms words last night
put the Ellis at least three weeks
the championship
Three men were SO promoted last
week Many of the old reliables of
last year are back on the squad this
season, including Radde1 first
base, MCGEE, Cornish, and ScovilIe in
the outfeId, and Harphan as sub
infelder. The pitching staff is great
" handicapped by the absence of Ben
Brown, who last year proved so in
valuable. Nevertheless, the team has
good material in this position which
has only to be given the necessary ex-
perience to equal the star absentee.
Of course, Gle, Sherman, BUS
Brown Scott, and Dyer are now the
most promising.
That the team depends much on
The twirlers is true, but still the other
positions are not by any means neg
fected. The work on bases is pro-
crossing fast, as is holding men on
bases, and infield pick-ups.
The southern trip of the Yale team
will begin on March 10, when the
men will leave. for their games with
Holy Cross, at Norfolk; the Univer
city of Virginia at Charleston, and
Georgetown university at Washing
ton. Directly after the southern trip,
the team will play its annual game
with the Giants at the Polo grounds.

KLEIN TN CLASH
WITH ALLING AT
SOLOWAYS TRIAL

Waterbury, March 4.-Morris Solo
way, who is on trial in the city court
charged with having set fire in Au-
gust, 1911, to the StorehouSe OF Solo
way & Katz in this CITY, was under
cross examination yesterday. The
state presented photographs of an al
legged inventory made by Soloway on
July 81 1911, which the prosecution
claimed was a correct inventory and
tended to show that there was not in
the storehouse $4,000 worth of goods
at the time of the fire, as claimed by
photographs resulted in a spirited ar
gument by counsel, which was not
completed when recess was taken.
State Attorney A1Iing,- conducting
the cross examination of Soloway, and
Attorney Klein of Bridgeport, of coun-
sci for Soloway, cIashed while the
Bridgeport lawyer was examining Sol
oway during the early part of the
morning. The examination was inter
rupted by the, State Attorney and
Klein shouted out:
Don't come in here and talk to me
like that
'~I object to your conduct in coach
ing the witness retorted Mr.. Al1ing.
st am not coaching him, and would
like to know how long the court is go
ing to allow you to come into this
court and act as you have been acting
for the past couple of weeks. Do you
do it in NewHaven?'
mo-" snapped Mr.. A1ling.
''They don't do it in this court, -
shouted Klein.
The court instructed Mr. A1ling not
to interrupt Mr.. Klein again.
The principal thing brought out at
the hearing was the relationship which
existed between Soloway and Miss
Dora Podoloff, the young woman who
testified to SoIoway telling her he had
hired a couple of professionals from
New York to burn the Waterbury
warehouse.

KO[EHMAINEN JOINS
H-AMERICAN A. C
BUT GREAT FINNISH CANNOT
COMPETE FOR UNITED STATES
UNTIL NATURALIZED.

New York, March 4.-The Irish-'
American A. c. has corralIed Hannes
Kolehmainen within its membership
fold, and at the American indoor
cham pionships to be held next week
in Madison Square Garden the famous
Finn runner will wear the coIors of
the club. KoIehmafnen will appear in
the two-naiIe run and it is expected
he will clean up easily in the event.
The landing of Kolehmainen by the
local club marks the end of a scram-
bic that has been on between the
Irish-American and New York A. c.
for the services of the Finn ever since
he landed here last Labor day
The Finn is talking seriously of
making his home in this city for
keeps, but whether he does or not,
owing to the United States naturaIiza-
ton laws, he will not have been here
long enough by 1916, so as to repre-
sent the club on the American Olym-
pic team in Berlin. 1t is feared that
this bar may eventually lose him to
the club, for Kolehmainen may pre-
fer to run in the big games for his
native land or England.
