superintendent Murray WIN Not Allow
Prize lighting In New York-Sparring
Goes
New YORK, December 26.-Superin-
tendent of Police Murray announced
to-day that as attic mpts had been made
to revive so-cslled knocking out"
which was prevalent some time ago,
but which was stamped out, and that as
statements have been made that Char
lie Mitchell and Jim Corbett, profession
al pugiists, were to meet in Madison
Square Garden in the early part OF Feb
ruary, he would allow the fight to take
place. y.
''Since thatGnnounCement was made"
said the superintendent, another
COMES that Peter Maher and Jack
Dempsey will also fight in the garden
in January. Now, am determined that
these knocking out contests shall not
be revived. There will be no prize
fighting in this city. II these men get
together and violate the law 1t is my
duty TO arrest them, and l will do so.
OF course cannot and do not desire
10 prohibit sparring exhibitions, but the
law does not permit prize fighting"
The Superintendent added that he
will notify the pugiliSts themselves, and
also the management OF the Madison
Square Garden, of his view on the mat

THE LEAGUES EXPLANATION FOR TAKING

The Club Makes a Strong Protest No More
Knocking Out to be Allowed in New
York - Sparing Exhibitions All
Right But Prize Fighting Don't
GO-General Sports.
PiTTSBURG, PA, December 90
There are many indignant men In the
Pittsburg Base Ball Club.
The National League has again given
the organization a hard slap, and all
for one of the big clubs in the League.
President Young to-day notified the
local club that Third Baseman Lyons
had been assigned TO the New York
club, and that in his place Pittsburg
could have Jerry Denny.
On receipt of the telegram the Pitts
burg club wired protests against such
an action, claiming that Lyons was not
claimed by any club at Indianapolis,
and had signed no contract with any
club. President Day, Of the New York
club, left the indianapolis meeting day
before the Pittsburg representative and
the latter is certain Lyons was not in
the pool, neither has New York claim
for him. Won der Abe gave Plttsburg
permission to negotiate for the man.
President Temple is indignant over
the action. He denounced it as outra-
geous. Pittsburg, he declares, GER
taiuly has been treated unfairly, as 1t is
evident New York did not put in a
claim for the man until after Pittsburg
had signed him. The plea that the &C.
tion was taken to equalize the playing
strength is weak one. The local club
will make u contest for the man.

There is in nearly every community
some special woman, and she Is gener-
ally of doubtful age and unmarried
who, while never becoming exclusively
identified with any particular set or
class, seems rather to belong to the
people in general, fitting into every
emergency as II she had been ordered
10 master the situation. The hostess at
every entertainment smiles when she
enters the door, for she brings a breeze
with her that makes things go. She
means success. She always tells the
last best Joke; il she doesn't, she laughs
the loudest over the best
the others tell. Her gowns
nearly always fit and never fade, though
they are washed, turned or dyed. She
knows all the domestic methods OF doing
and redoing things and has larger
stock OF gossip than dozen matrons
put together. She will attempt any
thing possible-go anywhere. She Is
born TO lead. There are but two things
which she perslstently declines to do.
She will not fail In an attempt, and she
will not marry. Having tasted the upper
air OF the height Of Incorporating free
dom and leadership she will not step
down.

He walked Into a Louisville Bank, but

LOUISVILLE, KY, December 25.-The
crank mania has struck Louisville. The
very same man depleted by Chauncey
Depew at the annual dinner of the New
England Society the other
night suddenly appeared In
this city yesterday morning. He
was without dynamite, but he made his
demand. About 1890 o'clock tall,
COOK looking stranger entered the Office
Of President Veech or the Farmers and
DroVers' Bank. The great aiter-din-
ner orator remarked that the
crank is the most prominent feature OF
our civilization, and when this one
stated In not over gentle voice: ~
want you to give me money, and that
pretty damn quick" he was decidedly
the most prominent feature about the
Farmers aud Dovers' Bank. The hair
of President Veech stood on end. Real
ling what kind of man he had to deal
with, the banker said: Every well,
sir, we haven't very much money on
hand, but can send out and get you
some" The banker did send out, not
for a million or so of dollars, but for a
policeman. In the meantime the
stranger became tired Of waiting and
left in peace, no one offering to have
him remain.
