Among the new fish the most beautiful is o

IT'S AN OLD STORY
Revival of a Yarn About the
Size of the Carson
Ring.
Wheelock Was Caught Twice in Al
tering the Plans to Please the
Veriscope People.

An old story OF the late Corbett- Fitz-
simmons fight at Carson is being re-echoed
in local sporting circles.
II Is TO the effect that lob was sue
cessfully executed in the matter of erect
ing the roped square within which the two
gIadiators fought for the worlds cham
pionship. The ring it is alleged, was not
the regulation 24-foot space called for by
the articles of agreement and the Marquis
of Queensberry rules, and a local pho
tographer who attended the battle is
quoted as saying that on the night pre-
vious to the fight the north and south
posts were taken up and moved one foot
toward the center, thus making the ring
24x % feet.
All of this is ancient history, and just
why ii is being revived at this late day it
is difficult TO imagine. Those who fol-
lowed The CALLS CORES pondence from
Carson previous to and mp to the day OF
the 'Dattle of the century" will probably
remember an exclusive story that was
printed regarding the measurements OF
that ring. The original plans and specih-
cations under which ArchItect 2. j. Dono-
hue built the big arena called for a twenty
eight-foot platform in the center of the
incIosure, and upon this was TO be placed
q tWenty-IOur-foOt ring. A few days be-
fore the fight THE CALL reporter, accom-
panied by Theodore HOfer of Carson,
gained admission to the arena and meas
ured the platform.
1t was found to be but twenty-four feet
square. thus making it impossible to place
thereon 24-foot ring and still leave room
for the post braces, or anything to catch
the fighters in case they should fall imme-
diately beneath the ropes.
When publicity was given to this dis
covery there was great hullabaloo IN
information that W. K. Wheelock, Dan
Stuart's right-hand man, was responsible
for the alteration of the plans. Wheelock
would vouchsaie no explanation for his
conduct Il the time, but nevertheless gave
orders that the ring and platform be made
according to the original plans.
1t was subsequently said on good au-
thority that on the night before the 6g ht
the ring was again changed, but this time
l; was only shortened on two sides, MAKING
1t an oblong instead of a square. This. il
was explained, was done so as to briu
the entire ring within the focus of tn,
verlscope - something that would have
been impossibl had the ring been lef
exactly twenty-f four feet square. Asneithel
OF the big pugilists objected to this. no
body else complained, and then it was
that Wheelock explained that the frs
alteration OF the plans was also ordered
Tor the accommodation of the veriscop,
people, but that he had hoped nobody
would notice it.
This is the foundation for the story
that is now being gossiped about, and al
there Is of truth to it.

mond Pin.
The Convention Extends Sympathy tc
0ikland in Its Fight Against
L quor.

Quite an exciting event took place yester-
day at Howard NJ. Z. Church where the
Women's Christian Temperance Union
was holding its semi-annual county con-
veDtion. During the noon hour Mrs. S. b.
Mccoy, uperintendent of prison work dis
covered that her cape in which a valuable
diamond pin was clasped was missing
while the ladies were having luncheon.
Mrs. Rose French who does a great deal
of prison work, noticed a woman at the
table whom she had seen several times al
the City Prison. OF course attention was
Immediately directed toward this woman,
and she was soon discovered coming out
of an alley near the church. Mrs. French
engaged her in conversation while another
lady investigated the alley. The missing
cape was found where it had been thrown
on the ground, and on II the diamond pin.
The woman, who was badly intoxicated
was taken back to the church ana a police
man summoned. When he came several
of the ladies of the union tried TO beg heI
OFF, pleading her intoxicated condition as
her excuse but in spite of sli entTeaties she
was taken to the Southern Police station,
where she was found to be Il sa Praziers

one day. He said that the time between
the breaking up of the assem- blage and it's
coming together again could only be con-
sldered as a recess.
The motion 20 adjourn for fifteen m in
utes was carried. Then there was hur-
ried consultation among the mem bers of
the minority, wi h whom the Mayor was
in sym pathy, and it was agreed that
Supervisor Clinton should move for an
ad iournme at the earliest opportunity
and that the Mayor should call for the
ayes and noes and rush the matter
through if possible.
When the board reassembled Supervisor
Britt appealed from the decision of the
chair on the question OF the board having
the right to hold two sessions in one day,
and the appeal was sustained.
This action placed Supervisor Dodge in
line to fulfil his notice that he would
move for a reconsideration as the then
'ession had been declared to be the one
following the meeting at which he had
given his notice. Before he could get to
his feet Supei visor Clinton shouted:
II move we adiournp p and Mayor Phe-
Ian put the question and declared the mo-
tion carried before any one had time TO
object.
The opportunity for recon sideration hav-
ing passed the records of the board stood
that the Haskins order having received
the majority vote and no reconsideration
having been called ior the schedule was
adopted.
All concerned were so tangled up in the
meshes OF parlia mentary tactics and sub
terfuges that none realized what had hap
pened until long after the gathering had
dispersed. Several Supervisors went home
with the idea hat the f. ht would have to
go on again at the next meeting.
The few who understood enjoyed good
laugh at Supervisor Clinton, who had so
neatly played into the hands of the ma
joritv
