OHIO'S BOXING LAW.

The distinctions made by Ohio law between prize fighting and boxing are decidedly interesting. Under the laws of that state prize fighting is classed as g felony and is expressly prohibited Boxing contests and sparring matches, when given before q club, are within the pale of the law when sanctioned by the consent of the mayor of the city ill which the club is located. The legal distinction between q prize fight and a sparring match is that q prize fight is q contest which is understood to be terminated by knockout. while a sparring match is contest limited to a designated number of rounds. The courts in Ohio in the case of Seville ys state passed the opinion that no expert testimony as to whether a boxing con- test was a prize fight or simply an eX- hibition could be admitted. and that the result of such a test is the only test by which it can be decided wlfeth- CT prize fight or a boxing match was indulged in. The proposed contest be- tween Jeffries and Ruhlin is a boxing match, limited to twenty rounds, not a fight to a finish. This being the case the governor says he cannot legally in- terfere Governor Nash. moreover, has established the precedent of leay- ing the preservation of the public peace in the hands of the local authorities. No governor of Ohio has ever called out the state militia to suppress a riot or conserve the public peace except upon the request of the mayor or sheriff of the disturbed district. As the mayor of Cincinnati has already given his permission to the club to pull off the contest he certainly will not call upon the governor to help him stop it. That state of affairs is rather discouraging to the fanatics. but their next point of attack will be the courts. There can be no doubt that the alleged re- formers will continue to nag the bout to a finish. but it is to be hoped they get a knockout and are counted out. This will have q salutary effect on the tribe elsewhere. Should a heavyweight championship bout be held in Cincin- natl despite the shrieks of the reform CTS it would be a knockout from which they might not recover.

THE SCISSORS BLOW.

And still the talk of "new blows" in pugilism will not cease. The latest is a 'scissors punch to be used by Ruh- lin on Jeffries. McCoy's "corkscrew punch'' was so thoroughly exploited that many persons really believed that there was such a blow. Frequently fighters in training say that they have invented new blows, and they go into details about them, too. But Eftz- simmons exploded the whole business last summer when he said that invent ing new blows was all bosh. ''When you are in a fight,'' said Fitz, "you have got to punch a fellow good and hard If he hits you a crack on the jaw you have no time to think about fancy movements or tricks, but you have got to sail right in and fight the best you know how. If you see an opening for a solid smash, either in the body or on the head, let your hands go in for all you are worth. That's the way I believe in doing business and I have found St very effective.'

TOD SLOANE RIDES.
He Was Given a Right Royal Recep-
 ton in the West

He Was Given a Right Royal Recep-
 ton in the West
 San Francisco, Dec 26.-Right roy ally did California's racegoers greet Tod Sloane as he paraded by the stand on Walter JenningS'S Nesuvian in the Christmas handicap, run at Tanfaran yesterday. Not only were they hearty in their applause, but they presented a handsome floral piece to him. This was SIoane's first appearance in the saddle in California in two years and his first mount since the Jockey club Of England announced that it practi- cally had ruled him off by refusing to issue license to him for next year. Whether the San Francisco Jockey club acted wisely or unwiSely in granting license to Sloane, the ac- tion of it's patrons yesterday left no room for doubt as to the popularity of it's move. With the exception of few soreheads, California racing men are glad that Sloane has been permit ted to ride, and they are glad because they believe the boy has been treated unfairly by the English Jockey club.
 Riding in the same race with Sloane was another American jockey fresh from England, Clement Jenkins There was some applause for Jenkins, but it did not partake of the popular demonstration with which Sloane was greeted. There were two reasons for this. The first is that as a jockey he does not approach Sloane, and the sP ond is that unlike Sloane he did not have a chance to pose as a victim of English prejudice, which. in the opin- ion of many nOrSemen, Sloane is.
 Yet the honorS of the handicap, which was the chief event of the days sport, went to Jenkins, who rode Eddie Jones and piloted him to victory. Ed die Jones. who was coupled with Mort gage in the betting. was quoted at ' to 1. The best Sloane could do with NeSuvian was to finish second, just beating Marty Bergen on the 15 to l shot. The Lady. who was a neck be- fore Advance Guard. Tesuvian, with his stable companion AndriSsa, who made the pace in the early part of the race. was favorite in the betting.
 There was much speculation among the horsemen as to Sloane's future. In riding for Jennings the jockey is prac- tically riding for T. B. Haggin, the wealthiest breeder in the country. The horses trained by Jennings came from Mr Haggins'S Rancho del PaSo. and it is understood that the breeder re- tains an interest in their winnings.
 It is not supposed that this fact will have any bearing on the jockeys case when it comes before the Jockey club of New York. if it ever comes be- fore that body. but it may carry favorable influence for him in west.
 The weather was fine yesterday. the track in good condition and the attend ance large Texarkana fell when lead ing in the steeplechase. The ride Of Murphy on Lord Chesterfield will be investigated.

TOBACCO GROWING.
Successful Experiments With Suma-
 tra Leuf In Connecticut.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26. - The fol- lowing notice has been posted by the sec retary of agriculture:
 Milton Whitney, chief of division ot soils, reports a successful termination o1 experiments conducted in cooperation with the Connecticut experiment station in the production of Sumatra tobacco near Hartford. One-third of an acre was planted under cheesecloth shade nine feet high and cultivated and fermented under the direction of NJ. l.. Floyd, to- bacco expert of the department. The yield of cured tobacco was TOO pounds, making an estimated yield for one acre of 2,1O0 pounds. This lost about 10 per cent in the fermentation. The crop has just been sold by l.. B. Haas & Go. of Hartford to Mitchelson &c Hubbard of Kansas City for $473.7O, making an esti mated value for one acre of $1.421. The cost of production, including the whole cost of the shade, the frame for which will last five years, will not exceed $500 per acre, leaving a net profit of over $9OO per acre. This was an average price of Il cents per pound. The crop grown in the same field without shade and fer mented in the same way yielded about the same quantity and brought 27 cents per pound, or at the rate of S0O1.S7 per acre. Deducting the cost of cultivation. fertilization and treating, this would leave profit of about $500 per acre.
 'The ordinary crop of the Connecticut valley brings the farmer about 20 cents per pound, or S360 per acre. and, deduct ing cost and expenses, leaves profit of about $26O per acre. The Sumatra to- bacco grown under shade has been sub. mitted to New York and Philadelphia business men and has been pronounced entirely satisfactory and fully equal to imported Sumatra. These facts, taken in connection with the award at the Paris exposition of two points for the Florida grown Sumatra over that given for the imported Sumatra, show that we can grow Sumatra tobacco of the highest quality in this country and save our farm CTS between $6,0O0,00O and $7,OOO,OOO which is now sent abroad annually for the foreign grown leaf. This work is the result of the soil survey made in the Con- necticut valley two years ago, and simi- lar results can be expected only from very similar areas where the soils and climatic conditions are similar to those in the Connecticut valley and in Florida"

 night.
 Waterbury turned the tables on New Haven last night and defeated her by the same score that she was beaten by 1n New Haven in the afternoon It was one of the biggest crowds of the season that crowded into the Auditor ium, and all those present were well satisfied that they came out on Christ mas night to see the game. It was a game that kept the people on edge un- til the last gong had sounded, and every man on each team was in the game fighting inch by inch to the last ditch. It was one of those games that make you get up on your feet and yell, for the two teams were fighting Tor the game from the moment the referees whistle sounded until all was at an end. There was not an idle mo- ment on the floor and the fans were given a full return for their money. Waterbury lost one goal on fouls, two of them being made by Russell. The last one was a peculiar one, Russell tossing the ball into the New Haven cage with his hand. There was q bunch of players around the cage at the time and it was hard to tell just what was done, but the referee said foul, and that settled it. The play CTS on each team were anxious also about the outcome of the game, for they kept tabs on the amount of time they had in which to get goals. and that made the fight all the faster. There was good team work on each side. and the balls were fed up to the ruSherS with equal precision, but some how or other they were kept around the New Haven cage more often than around our own.
 Waterbury made four goals in the first period to one for New Haven, and 1t locked as if we were going to have a wall1over. Then, in the second period, Waterbury made but one, while New Haven made three. This made things look more even and ill the last period the New Ravens started in with d rush to win the game. Waterbury started to do the same thing and the consequences were there was battle royal. Waterbury made the first goal. which made it more Interesting. and then Jason scored one for his side. Up to this time two fouls had been called on Waterbury. but Russell hammered another ball in and the score looked better. Then Russell did his little trick at the New Haven cage.- and ott came a goal. and the score stood 6 to , in our favor. With but d minute or two to play, New Haven started in like demons to win out or tie the game. but it was too late and the bell rang wifi, hofb fiQlflnp hard.
