Australians VIII Come.

Notwithstanding the fact that pu-
rilism has been frightfully overdone
and nearly knocked into a cooked hat,
the fighting Australians keep coming
into the country in quest OF glory ana
gold.
The best fighters we ever had In this
country came from the a~ntipodes, but
we have enough on hand TO entertain
the American sporting public Tor a
loug time to come, so IL the gentlemen
from the South Seas would only remain
at home until the supply we have on
hand is used up, why, we would be de-
lighted to receive some more.
The Australians are not to blame Tor
wanting to come to this country, fer
they have been living on the fat OF our
land ever since they first sighted 1t, un-
til now some of their heads are larger
than can be accommodated by any hat
ter In the country.
1t is true they have taught us the
new tangled tricks Of the ring, but then
1 think we have more than recompensed
them for their lessons-don't 700? we
paid dearly to learn, In some instances,
for that gallant defender OF American
middIe-weights, Jack Dempsey, was
offered NJ against q man more ut to
iht Sullivan than he was TO nEht the
bravest little middle-weig6t that ever
trod the boards.

president n the new Western league Is
an inspiration. 1t needed only such a
leader to make the new organization a
success.
Some weeks ago the statement was
published that Captain Ward, OF the
New Yorks, had received letters from
several score OF anxious young players
who offered their services on trial,
every one of whom expressed confidence
In his abilities to keep up in fast League
l presume Wards expert
ence is that Of every prominent base
ball captain in the National league.
There follows a thought which might
be useful to the baseball profession OF
the future. Scores OF these undevel-
oped PLAYERS are never heard from be-
cause they never get a chance to snow
what they are made Of or to cultivate
the budding abilities which they really
possess.
Why, then would II not be profitable
for a man like Arson to withdraw his
services from a particular club n open
n school OF base ball training on the
same plan that the Lyceum School OF
Acting is conducted? If Professor An
son would make the announcement
some of these days and issue a prospec-
tuSof his base ball academy, he would
in AVERY short time have d class on MS
hands so large that the employment OF
~snb-t@achers would be a necessity. This
would furnish the means OF supplying
the country with the very best young
talent in the land, and a diploma signed
and sealed by Professor Arson would
secure any new f'SYer or student a
contract without trial.

CHICAGO TO HAVE A CLUB
For the Promotion of Prize Fighting.
Over In Indiana.

For the Promotion of Prize Fighting.
Over In Indiana.
CHICAGO, May 2O.-Chicago is at last
to have an athletic club, wherein prize
fights can be safely brought off. That
is, it will be in such close proximity
that it will virtually be a Chicago
affair.
The project has been under way for
some time and has at last reached a
definite stage. The idea is to locate
the clubhouse over the line in Indiana at
a convenient point, and erect an Amphl-
theater and a 24-foot ring on the order
of the Coney Island, Crescent City and
California Athletic Clubs.
Ahead of the scheme is Dominick
O'Malley, the great southern sport, and
associated with him, 1t is claimed, are
part of the Garfield Park syndicate,
chief among whom are M. c. Melon
aid and Harry Varnell. With the as
susance that everything is all correct
and sure Of the ground, the managers
are alrerdy negotiating for fights. Yes
terday Solly Smith and Johnny Grit
fin were signed to open the new club.
A Sc, 900 purse will be hung up, Of
which $3.50 goes to the loser. The fight
will come of in July, the boys to weigh
122 pounds, at 3 o'clock the day of the
fight. AS a preliminary to this the club
may arrange with Henry Bak-
er and Will Mayo. The
next match they have booked is the
buffalo" Costello-Billy Woods fight.
Both are preparing for the fight, and
the welter weight championship con-
test between Tommy Ryan and George
Dawson will be pulled off there beyond
the shadow OF doubt.
That Chicago is a good spot for a
fighting institution of this kind cannot
be denied. There are several small,
catcA-penny places %patronized by the
talent, but for the lovers OF the game in
the business and professional sphere
and for the high-class sport there Is
nothing OF the kind.
This summer there will be $50 book
makers, aud the employees, horse-own-
ers and race-track attendants to draw
from. A sworn statement by Arthur
Lumley has shown the profits OF the
Coney Island club to be a quarter OF a
million dollars on a half-dozen OF their
fights. That shows that the promoters
here knew what they are about.

Joe Goddard in Chicago.

CHICAGO, May 2O.-Joe Goddard, the
Barrier Giant" has reached Chicago
from Hot Springs and from this point
will try and arrange a fight with any OF
the big guns in the business. He says
he doesn't see how a match with Joe
McAuliffe will benefit him any unless a
good purse is offered. McAulife has no
and Goddard wants TO bet $1,000
on the side. He states the Smith victo-
~ was a huke. Goddard only lost So, 100
by the recent failure Of a bank In Aus
tralia, instead Of $4,000, as some papers
would like to have the public believe.

Be- The conduit ordinance was considered
by the assembly committee on streets at
"a special session last evening. 1t was
the general sentiment of the committee
that an ordinances requiring the placing
9of wires under ground should be
hadopted. The draft of the ordinance
prepared by City Engineer Rundlett

'Her had interlined several proposed
changes in the verbiage which seemed
Ito meet the approval of the committee.

Proposed ordinance. the matter was re-
iferred to Assemblyman Liehtner, in

attorney for reviSion-they to re-
port to the committee Wednes-
'iday evening. When revised the ordi-

ment of the committee that all wires in

UNDER HIS OWN EYE.

There Is Wherethe Mayor Has the,

Mayor Wright convinced the joint
court house and city hall committee yes
tertIay that mis- desire to have the chief
Of police near him should be gratifed,a
and the rooms OH the main floor of the
building facing. Wabasha' street on the
north side are to be kalsomined and
fitted up for the accommodation of Chief
Garvin and Chief McGinn. This was
decided at special meeting yesterday
afternoon The matter was brought up
by proposition of NJ. DAILY to give the
room lately used by the board of county
commissioners to Sheriff Chapel for a
private Office. Commissioner Peter DAILY
stated that the county treasurer has
hampered quarters, and has long since
asked for the two rooms facing on Wa
basha and Fifth streets. The mayor
then stated that he desired the chief of
police near him, and wanted him to
have the larger of the two rooms.
He further stated that the present
quarters Of the chief of police are stuffy
and not suitable. The mayor invited
the committee to inspect the larger of
the two reemS, which, by the way, has
been used by the board of education for
the past few months, and had been
newly carpeted for that board. The
MAYOR called attention to the fact that
apartition Of terra-cotta should be placed
across the room midway, and the walls
and ceiling kalSOmined; one division to
be used by the chief of police, and the
other by the chief OF detectives. Re-
turning to the meeting room, the com
mittee went into session again, and an

on buildings to fix up the large room as
desired by the mayor, and that the
quarters be rendered to the chief of

be kasOmined and, the furniture of the
board of education be moved into it,
aud that this shall be the headquarters
of the board of education in future The
board OF county commissioners will be
rendered the use of the cOuncifchamber
for its meetings, and the joint commit
tee will hereafter meet i'll one of the
council chamber committee rooms.
County Auditor James II. Burns was
elected unanimously as clerk of the
joint committee.
The committee ON supplies was given
power to put coal scales at the corner
of Cedar and Fifth streets.
County Attorney Butler submitted a
written opinion to the effect that the
county does not have authority to pur-
chase shelving from the Fenton Metal
lie company for the health office. as it
has no power to pay for such supplies.
The matter was referred to Aid. Cope
land to get the opinion of the corpora
ton attorney as to the right of the city
to provide for such supplies. 60
The contract was awarded to VillauI1fe
Bros. to put fifteen sets of single
strength glass storm sash in the win
dows of some of the offices at a cost of

General Rounding Up OF the
News of the Capital
City. :

a. The committee appointed by the mem
bers OF the fire department to see what
could be done looking to raise in sAla-
ries was present at the meeting of the
board OF fire commissioners last even
ing. Commissioner Prendergast told the
committee several meetings of the board
had been held, and the matter fully dis
cuSSed. After. consultation with the
city officials and members of the legis-
latlve delegation the board had decided
it would not be best, considering
the financial. condition of the city
at the present time, to ask for
any raise in salaries. The chairman
of the fremen's committee asked
if the board had any objections
to the notwithstanding to get "a raise IN
salaries by working with the legislative
delegation. He said the mayor and
prominent other. business men who had
been seen by them relative to the in
crease had promised to do what they
could to bring about the desired result.
The present scale of wages was, he
said, much lower than those paid in
other cities of like size. Commission
er Martin said the wages were as high
as could be paid under the amounts all
lowed by the charter. Even at. the pres
ent scale the department was shor; lch
year, and the commissioners had oten
forced to give their personal notes for
$4,000 to pay salaries last month AS
member OF the board and a taxpayer
he. thought it would be unwise to en-
deavor to push the matter in the legiS-
lature, and while the board could not
prevent such action. it was the wish of
the board that the matter be dropped
for the present. The committee thanked
the board and retired evidently not at
all pleased with the turn of affairs.
Bids for furnishing 1000 feet of hose
were opened, and after short eXecu
tive session, it was agreed to take 1000
feet each from the ST. Paul Rub3er

company at 95 and 81 cents per foot.
Chief Jackson reported Thomas F.
