HOOK AND LADDER STUCK FAST
Ice ON the Asphalt Prevented the
Horses From Pulling It.

Hook and La6der Truck No. 5, while on
the way TO a fire in the home of Mrs.
Vreeiand, No. "a Forrest street, got stuck
in the snow. at Union street and Jackson
avenue and remaired there for three
quarters Of an hour. despite the efforts
of the freInen TO move il. Every effort to
bulge the huge machine failed. The as
phalt pavement, as smooth as glass, and
the snow proved too much for men and
horses.
The truck was tearing along Jackson
avenue when suddenly at Union street it
was brought to a sudden stop by a furnf-
ture van, which was backed up to the
curb. and extended to the middle Of the
street. There was only a narrow passage
way in the middle of the ~thoroughfare for
wagons Driver Westervelt saw that he
could not pass the furniture van in the
middle of the street, ami he knew that it
would be almost like suicide TO attempt
to run the truck to the cleared space
as it would have been overturned by the
snow bank. That he did. The furniture
van was quickly moved out of the way
and Westervelt yelled to the horses to go
on.
They strained at the traces. but failed
to move the truck. He whipped them, but
it did no good. The other firemen went
to the headse of the horses and tried to
get them to pull. Their efforts were in
vain. sBalky' was TIE comment of the
crowd, and Captain William Miller was
of the same opinion. He examined the
truck and found that it was apparently in
a position to run freely. There We're but
a few inches of snow around the wheels.

The steam LAUGH which President
Frank Thomson of the Pennsylvania
Railroad has had built bv the Cramps
for the Harvard University crew is now
on its way tc Cambridge.
Contrary to precedent, not a change
has been made in the Yale crew during
the present week.
Thomas, of Philadelphia, who is strok.
ing the Yale Freedman crew, has worked
himself to that position despite a num-
Der of reverses. First he broke his col
larbone early in the season, and then he
was conditioned by the Faculty on his
return to college. He is now A. !, in his
class and rowing like veteran.

Ruhln's work at his training quarters
is so satisfactory to the students OF form

the ring at least an even favorite.
Gus Rubin is training at Elmwood, n.

Syracuse, n. Y, on May 20.
Catharine McAuIiree. better known
as one of the Imam sisters, was
divorced from Jack McAulifree in New
York Yesterday They were married in
1894.
Jim DAILY thinks that Kid Mccoy is
holding Gus Rubin at too cheap valu-
alton. Mccoy, however, can be depended
upon to make his appearance III the ring
in condition fit enough to battle with
Bob Fitzsimmons. He has never yet
neglected the work OF training.
Australian Billy Murphy is at pres
ent in Akron, O., and has issued Il
challenge to box any bantam IN the
business. Billy offers to give away ten
pounds, and guarantees to put any lad
he meets to sleep in four rounds.
Joe Cans, the colored lightweight
boxer, and Otto Sieloff of Detroit, are re-
ported to be matched to fight to finish
for a 81 900 purse. The report is rather
1ishy, as 81, 900 for private fights are not
much in fashion these days.
Matty Matthews and Tom Broderlck
are to box another twenty round
match at the Waverly Athletic Club,
Yonkers, N. Y, on May 2G. The last
time the men met Broderick had all the

Cincinnati has had soft snap in Pitts

The Reading Atlantic League Club will
start Sunday ball blaying at that place
to-day in game with Norristown. The

The Washingtons have Il fairly good

Brown has not now the authority to en-
force the rules that lie should have.
Monte Cross, of the Phillies, is put
down 1or losing many games. He is a
good player, nevertheless.
The Cleveland club at home is draw
ing very poor crowds. Buffalo or De-
troit is the next National League city.
There are some who believe that
Hughes, of Baltimore, has shot his bolt.
Manager IIanlon is not OF that opinion,
and will continue to pitch Hughes fol
some time to come.
Hamilton, guardian OF the Hubs mid,
die lawn, is touted, placarded and bill
posted as the champion of champions,
like a talking pugilist. He's called a
phenomenal batter, nonpareil base
runner and run-getter from away back.
His record with the Giants is two hits in
five games. His batting average on
Wednesday and Thursday was 900;
Seymour struck him out twice and
Doheny once He has stolen one base
and been thrown out trying to burglarize
lust four times. But he has the reputa.
ton, and Boston doesn't seem to care
how moth-eaten is his play in the field
either.
Hartman's work on the third cushion
is little short OF phenomenal. His pick
\ ups are revelations, and he has a swift
habit of tiinging the sphere over to
Joyce that's sight to see. He cut of
two certain sure base hits Friday-nasty,
hot grounders, bcth-and got into a
peculiarly rapid double play and nice
force.
Willis has the queerest drop that a
twirler has ever shown. It's all he has,
too, for the low shoot is known to ms
repertoire. The drop fools them all,
even the old-timers, just now.
The weather yesterday again stopped
