Appearance of the report was the signal for a demonstration on the part of bullish traders, and for a few minutes speculation was lively. but the professional operators failed to attract following and after 8 few minutes the market settled back into it's dull routine. The apathetic recep- ton of the crop report was in keeping with the session as a whole, although a few stocks moved in response to 1n- f1uences particularly affecting them. The tone was good and most Of the standard stocks again made fractional advances. The best showing was made by the grangers, whose strength re- fiected the expectation of a large wheat crop. The crop report also benefited International Harvester. which was one of the strongest of the industrials Tobacco shares advanced, with buoy ant spurt of 24 points in Loriliard. This stock jumped five points or more at 8 time. no reason being assigned other than the stock was scarce and that to fill an order for 500 shares "at the market a broker was obliged to bid it up.

JEWETT CITY ON THE BASEBALL
 MAP AGAIN.
Borough Will Have Good Team Strong Financial Backing.

Manager Benjamin wishes to notify the managers of the leading baseball teams in this section not to be in any great hurry to place their order for the pennant, or championship which so many are already claiming as he has signed Jewett City's best and that ought to satisfy everyone, especially the fans who found it necessary to travel to New London in order to get the brand of the great national game to which they are accustomed.
 The pick Of the borough's last sea- sons teams; also the Jewett City boys who aided outside towns win laurels last season have been signed by Mgr. Benjamin. What more is needed?
 After Saturdays practice Mgr. Ben jamin spoke as follows: When any of the several teams which represented Jewett City last season could meet and defeat the teams of Eastern Connecti- cut what chance will these same teams stand against the team I have chosen to represent the borough? I have ac- complished what many have claimed impossible, i. e., signed for one team the best players in town.
 He was asked if he could procure the financial backing necessary to keep such fast team together all season; fortify himself against the inroadS of CTS and are willing to pay highly for same.
 He replied: T have arranged a se- ries of first-class entertainments also a fund will be raised by popular subscription and season tickets will soon be on the market. I expect to have at least $200 in the treasury at the start of the season and that with the attendance which this town fur nishes f1rst-class baseball will put me on easy street. My team is faster than the pennant winners of several years ago and look at the large crowds they drew. Everything points to a success ful season despite all reports to the contrary the following men will wear a brand new Jewett City uniform this season: catchers, Sharkey, GradwelI; Pitchers, Raney, Brickley; first base, Mccarthy; second base Barry; short stop, Rioux; third base, McArthur.
 The outfield positions are as yet not settled but the assurance is given that it will compare in every way with the infield and battery squad. It will be several weeks before tho grounds will be in first class shape so the first few games will be played away from home.
 Games are being arranged with the Nationals of Woonsocket, the Red Sox of Providence. Voluntown- -Glasgo, Hanover. All lsStars. Hospitals and oth- CT fast teams.

son to break contract to the injury of a principal is malicious, and that . contract partly void by reason of be- ing in restraint of trade is not wholly void.
 In his review of the case Chancellor Henderson said:
 Under the facts in this case, the defendant knew plaintiff was here at Hot Springs training it's men for the opening day. He came to Hot Springs to procure some of the players of plaintiff and offered them over one thousand dollars in advance of their contract price with the plaintiff to breach their contracts with plaintiff and hire to his company. He was bound to know 1t would work a great injury to the plaintiff. I can see no purpose of the defendant except to employ plaintiffs players and thereby deprive him of entering the baseball games as a competitor and by reason thereof defendants company would greatly benefit financially. It is just such @ wrong as court of equity should not permit when appealed to-

The Yale baseball team met at the Taft to listen to the last instructions given to tn squad before it leaves for it's southern trip on Wednesday.
 In view of the fact that six mem bers of the squad were sent home last year within the first few days of land ing at Norfolk, because of an infringe ment of training rules, it has been deemed advisable to let the new men on the team know that only hard work will be indulged in while the squad Is below the Mason and Dixon line. No man will acompany the team unless he has given up all hopes of evening tangoes and afternoon teas.
