WORLD OF SPORTS.

Cleveland would buy Ed Daily if Washington would sell.
 Here is sample of the kind of game they play in Connecticut: Roberts jaw broken: Cunning, black eye and bloody nose: Cunningham, clothes transformed into rags. A respectable referee had to resign because he was insulted at every turn, Polo in such hands will soon die.- Boston Herald.
 Says the Omaha correspondent of Sporting Life; The other day I noticed quite a tirade against Loyett, Several times lately I have heard unkind words about him. This paper wants to know where he earned the title of fam ous pitcher. He didn't earn it in Omaha, that's a fact for he had it before he came here, and l think he fully sustained his reputation while here." Lovett earned his reputation in Waterbury in 1884.
 There is some talk of league to be formed from the cities of Lowell, Wor- cester. Hartford. New Haven, Bridge port, Norwalk, Newark and Jersey City. Norwalk is a good ball town, as was proven last season; after the Connecti- cut league went under in July they supported club until the close of the season. New Haven, Hartford and Bridgeport are also good ball towns, provided they have proper manage ment. A good league and close cir cult could be formed from the eight cities named.-Bridgeport core spondent Sporting Life. Bridgeport could not support team if the salary list was over S2. 50 day.
 Mickey Hughes, the clever little pitcher of the Brooklyn club, is holding off for more money. President Byrne said yes terday that if he refuses to sign the club can get along without him. Mir Byrne says Hughes is not as good a general player as Carruthers. He was called offered S2,600 fer his seasons work, which is said to be the amount paid last year. He looked at the contract and coolly informed the management that he was worth as much as Carruthers, and that if he did not get as much as that player he would refuse to affiX his sig nature to a Brooklyn contract.
 The finish fight between Jack Delancey Jack Dempsey's protege, and Jack Burke, both Brooklyn feather weights, was to have taken place in New Jersey on Sat urday night. The storm F. 7ented more than half dozen persons from seeking the secluded battle ground, how ever, and the match was postponed for a week. As the men and handlers were returning to the railroad station ill the rain and wind, the high hat of one of the party was lifted from his head and carried into small lake that had formed by the roadside. The sport determined to re- cover his hat, and gently waded into the pool. When he was up to his waist the hat was some yards away. ''Here she goes. boys P he exclaimed, and strik' ing out for the hat, placed it upon his head and swan ashore.

No Cause for. Alarm.

A cry of consternation and te rror is be . ginning to be heard from the ice dealers, the market men, the saloon keepers, the hotel men and others who consume large quantities of ice during the year. They say they are afraid they won't get a chance to harvest an ice crop this winter on account of the mildness of the weather Every summer, as regularly as summer comes around, we are told that the peach crop has been ruined by frosts, but we have always noticed that the peaches get here just the same. So too the cry is raised every winter that ice is going to be scarce, but it never is. Last winter the ice harvest began late, but it was abundant in the end There has been no good ice making weather yet this winter, but it is only the first week in January and spring is still a long ways off. Don't WOrrY about ice

She Defied the Law.

Deputy Sheriff William Catlin ran across an amazon in Hamden Saturday morning, who gave him as tidy a fight as any man could do. MT Catlin wanted to attach a wagon belonging to James Moohan and Mrs Moohan objected. She banged the sheriffs assistant with club and repeated the dose when MT Catlin interfered. She hit head whenever she saw it and a farmer was called from a passing hay-wagon to help maintain the majesty of the law. With his assistance the wagon was captured, but not before Mrs Moohan had chewed a piece from the sheriff's thumb and pulled good deal of official hair in the defense of ''Jamesey's wagon.
