Fate of MANY Local Suits.
As told in The Spy, recently, Judge
Utley Of the central district court has

before the supreme judicial court the
test case for the decision of which
Judge Utley is waiting before ne pro-
ceeds further with the cases which have
been brought in the local court.
The test case for the result of which
Judge Utley is waiting, is the petition
OF James W. Brown Of Roxbury for a
writ Of habeas corpus for release from
the Charles street Jail. Brown was sum-
moned into the Roxbury municipal

the city have no idea of giving up the

Billy Marsh of This
City To
JUMP IN ENGLAND
With A. P. Watson He
Challenges British Stars.

If all goes well. Billy Marsh OF this
city and one Of the best aH-r0und pro-
fessionaI athletes in this country, viii
sail for England early in the summer
there to contest in a series Of jumping
events for the International professional
championship.
Marsh, as was stated in yesterday
mornings Spy. has just returned to mis-
nome in this city from an extended tour
in Canada, where with A P Watson
as his partner. he made good money
winning everything in sight in profes-
siorlal athletic events
It was while in Canada that the idea
struck Marsh and Watson that they is
sue Challenge to Messrs. Burroughs
and Colquit, the famous English jump
ers. for a series for the international
championship. No official reply has yet
been given but Marsh, in conversation
with Spy man, last evening said he
fully expected a favorable answer in
course CT due time.
The series, aside from baing for in
ternational hoaors. viii Be for as large
a stake as the English athletes desire.
MARSH and watson have almost unIim-
sted backing among the big sporting
men both in the United States and Can
ada and II would be the easiest thing
IN the world for them TO cover anything
that the Brftons might suggest.
The method Of point scoring as well
as the various events at jumping TO
constitute the program would be rnu-
fually arranged. There would be either
seven or eleven events at different
styles Of jumping. actual distances to
count
1t will be impossible for the AmerI-
cans to go over TO the other side until
ABOUT the first Of June for the reason
tnat watson for three months in the
spring OF the year is engaged as trainer
at the Grinnell College, out in Iowa
where he trains the athletes for the
state collegiate event. After that event
mas taken place he is at libzrty and
generally spends his time in competition
IN TINS country and on the other side Of
the line
watson has already made one visit to
Engiaad. But Marsh thus far has never
&splrea TO honOrs upon the other side
coHhnng his efforts to winning good
american gold and never going after
any Of the English shillings and bounds
tnat so many American athletes have
touno were theirs almost for the ask
ing.

Boston. Jan. 27.-The result of the Har-
vard-Yale conference on the rules of the
Intercollegiate Athletic Association was
made public today. It is announced that
two amendments 10 the rules will be sub
mltted at the annual meeting o. the asso-
citation, and il is understood that Har-
wards and Yalcis membership in The as
sOclaJion depends absolutely on The ac-
ceptance Of the amendments.
The first amendment probably will meet
with little opposition. but the second,
which prevents altogether the ''naigra-
ton Of athletes, il IS thought, may meet
with strong objection. and perhaps with
defeat. In the latter case Harvard and
Yale VIII have no alternative but to form
a dual league, or a league including all
the universities favoring the amendments
Wnlch .wouid be more generally salts
factory method Of settlement
The second amendment is as follows: A
student shall be allowed TO compete at in
tercoiiegiate meetings four times and no
more. This applies to ali depa rtmants-
medical. low school college, etc. II a
student has represented a college in any
intercollegiate track meeting of any sort
ana has won point-a point meaning
first, second or third place in any event
he shall not be eligiJle to represent any
other college ne may thereafter attend :
this amencment not 10 be retroactive but
affecting only those who enter college
after the date Of this amendment.
