SOME BASEBALL NOTES.

Hugh Duffy of the Bostons has fail ed to get his release from Soden, Con- ant and Billings. Duffy has outlived his usefulness as q member of the team, and as he is not wanted there as manager, he thinks he should be allowed to go where hegpleases. Duffy has promised to take the management. of the Milwaukee clnb.in the American league, which is probably the reason the Boston magnates do not want to let him go 1lly,-sunless peace ex- istS between an JohnSons circuit and the National league. It is proba- ble that when the crisis arrives Duffy will jump the reserve rule and sign a contract with Milwaukee.
 The charges of double dealing made by Frank De Hass Robison, president of the St Louis National league, club, against McGraw and Robinson, creat- ed surprise yesterday among the base ball men who have been conversant with the facts. The play CTS who are determined to run an American league club at Baltimore this year are ac- cused by the St Louis magnate of wrecking the American association last year, at the same time acting in the interests of the National league. To those who are watching events in the baseball world closely this move by the St Louis magnate is believed to be prompted by q desire to create a feeling of distrust among the pro- moters of the American league so that they will voluntarily pull out of the venture. The strangeSt part of MT RobisOn'S statement is that it admits the charge made against the National league magnates to the effect that they have often adopted unbusiness-like mo N11nnocinU thuf Nray q q act in an underhand way with the American association. for the sake of argument, the National league men were guilty of reprehensible conduct in offering encouragement to such a scheme. But as a matter of fact, as even the American association pro motors said themselves, McGraw was not the man who wrecked that ill., fated organization. Magnate Robison's circumstantial story may read well, but it is not in accordance with the truth of what actually happened while the American association men were attempting to get their clubs in line.

New York Gets Encouragement From
 Connectieut's Progressiveness.
 The annual report of James Fl. Mac donald, Connecticut state highway commissioner, for the year 1900, just published, indicates general awaken ing throughout the state on the sub ject of highway reform, says the Syra- cuse Post Standard. Of the 16S towns in Connecticut, 1o9 have enjoyed state aid since the beginning of the good roads movement in 1895. Much more work was done during the last two years than in any previous year.
 Connecticut has done much in the way of improving her highways. but the results have not been accomplished without earnest effort. There is en- couragement for New York state in this fact. For that matter, there are encouraging signs of growing interest everywhere throughout the state. and soon New York will be able to take ita place beside Massachusetts, Con nectlcut, and New Jersey in the quality of its highwoys-

Became Famous In His Work With
 Dr Parkhurst,
 Concord, N. H., Jan 15.-Arthur H, Dennctt, better known as "Anger' Dennett, name with which he emerged from New York after his work in associa ton with .Dr Park hurst, has gone again mentally. He was attacked by mental troubles q year and half ago, but after several months in the state asylum here he recovered.
 Early last fall he disappeared from here and had been away from the city until about month ago. Upon his return it was found that "Angel'' had worked his passage abroad on cat tie steamer and had visited the Paris exhibition. He took an active interest in Senator Chandler's campaign. and it is thought that the defeat of Chan dler. turned his mind. An effort was being made to get Dennett out of town, but he became so boisterous that the authorities took the matter in hand and he was committed to the New Hampshire asylum for the sec ond time since his release by Dr Park hurst.

RRoAp ALMOST OUT.

Louisville, Ky, Jnn 1S.-After twen- ty five rounds of fierce fighting the contest between Dayg Sullivan of New York and Kid Broad of Cleveland was declared draw by Referee Tim Hurst. The bout was held under the auspices of the Southern Athletic club and the seating capacity of the audi
 torium was taxed to it's utmost, fully 4,OOO people being in attendance. Sul- livan was the aggressor and forced the fighting the greater part of the distance, and by virtue of speed and science held his own. Broad held on through strength and endurance, and number of times appeared in distress from hard right or left swing to the head. Sullivan showed excellent judgment and generalship and after finding Breads weak point, the wind and stomach, pounded him there until from the fifteenth to the twentieth round the Kids finish seemed in view. But strength would not be de- nied, and though Broad often groaned from his larruping, he made the last five rounds a succession of bull-like charges that offset Sullivan's advan- tage of science. The verdict was gen. orally upheld, despite disappointment that the bout fails 10 decide who is McGovern's most worthy opponent. When the men met at 3 D. m. to weigh in, both were in fine condition, and q few ounces below the stipulated 12G pounds. Tom Sharkey, who arrived here yesterday, expressed the opinion that the bout would go the limit, Broad getting tho decision. Tim Hurst was selected as referee, and the crowd at the auditorium was the largest that ever attended q bout in this city. Gorge Bloemer and Kid St Clair. both of Louisville, furnished the prelimi- nary of ten rounds at 117 pounds. The bout went the limit and St Clair got the decision

 Interesting Notes About Polo. <
 Speaking of last nights game, the New Haven Palladium says:
 Over 1000 people witnessed one or the best polo games of the season al the local rink last evening. The Wa terbury aggregation, with its crowd or rooters, made things lively enough 10 suit anybody, but they had hoodoo with them somewhere. for the Blues captured the game by the score or lo to l. Despite the fact that there IS bad blood between the two teams, It was a surprisingly clean game. Both teams lost a goal on fouls, and both Bone and Russell were temporarily put out of the game by accidents. FOX put up q great game and as long as he stayed in the circle it was practically impossible to get the ball past him. His fault lay in getting nervous, and letting Bone draw him away from the cage.
 The first period opened with goal
  teams played first class polo from the start off. and while it was of the slam bang order, it was fast, and that was what the crowd wanted. The cheer ing was continuous and as the home team scored goal after goal the specta- tors stood up in their seats and yelled themselves hoarSe. Russell and Grif- fin did not show up to any advantage, but men missing easy passes and seem- ing to be unable to get the range of the home cage. The score at the end of the period stood , to o.
 Just after the commencement of the second period, Bone received blow in the temple from the butt end of Jean's stick which laid him out for while, but with his usual pluckiness, he re- ! fused to quit the game and the cranks yelled their approval. Later, he poked the ball past Fox for two goals. Then Russell took a brace and did a pretty Dit of work, batting the ball into the cage on flying pass from : Griffin. The. second gon1 caged by Bone was a bit of luck the ball striking Jason in the chest and bound ing into the net.
 The third and last period was equal ly fast, the visitors getting one more goal and the Blues four. Russell was struck on the forehead by q high drive hot from Canavan's stick and was Frocked flat He was unable to resume play for several minutes and showed the effects of the blow till the last. Whipple and Canavan showed up we'll in the last period. Ii was good fast polo throughout and both teams put up a game fight until the final bell rang. The summary:

THE TAX QUESTION.
Every Town and City Has q Way of
 It's Own for Paving Taxes.

It's Own for Paying Taxes:
 According to ex-Mayor Thomas P. Taylor of Bridgeport, the policy of as- sesSing taxable property in that city at it's par value is n blunder, says the Hartford Post. His conviction was expressed before the board of trade Thursday night. U
 The law specifically directs the as- sessors to list property at its fair, market value. If the policy of Bridge port in complying with the statute is a mistake, the errorists are morS beau tiful than numerous. Of the 1GS peted, only forty-five assume to follow the legal requirements and tax proper ty at its real value. All sorts and con- ditions of standards prevail. The ratio of the assessed to the actual value of taxable property ranges from 33 per cent in Waterbury to 100 per cent in Bridgeport and forty-four other towns. If variety is the spice of taxation as well as of life, the tax assessments in Connecticut are highly favored.
 Opinion as to whether on general principles a high or a low ratio of as- Sessment is the more expedlent IS hopelessly bisected. Is it better to shove the grand list down and the tax rate up? A bulky grand list with low rate of taxation looks attractive and makes pretty spectacular eXhlbl- ton which a town fixes to show strangers, but may people contend that a low standard of assessment coupled with q high apparent tax rate is the more conservative policy and is less apt to travel the highway of e1trava- gance. -t-
 But whatever may be the relative academic merits of tine two systems, the fact that uniformity is desirable isn't open to debate. The dozens of different standards of assessments which now obtain lack of justification and admit of no defense. Some fas- tidious people think that the specific mandate of the law should be compiled with, but ignoring that feature of the case, which most assessors regard as a theory rather than a condition, the desirability of uniform ration of list ing property is eminently desirable. Ot course, the work of the state board of equalization in trying to reduce town grand lists to a common basis for pur- poses of county taxation is only q rough and unsatisfactory drive for uii- formity. Perhaps the appointment or Ca scientific and broad minded student of fiscal matters as tax commissioners, as suggested by Governor Mclean, might help do the trick.

Went on Record Saturday as Being
 Opposed to Consolidation.
 Stamford voted against town and city consolidation Saturday. There were 597 votes for consolidation and 7O4 against H.. Comparatively little Interest was taken in the subject in the city and the people from the rural districts came in and voted solidly against consolidation,
 The defeat of the plan is. explained fin a measure by an interview with Samuel Fessenden, which appeared in a Stamford paper Saturday He called attention to the fact that the commit tee had simply reported in favor of consolidation but that no charter had been framed and the people ,wer vot- ing in ignorance of the real manner in which it was proposed to effect the consolidation. He said that he be- lieved that the law should first be framed and presented to the people and they could then study 1t, and know exactly what form of government they were to have.
 The McTammany balloting machine was used in recording Saturdays vote and while no detailed account of the work of the machine is yet at hand a brief dispatch from Stamford states that the vote was satisfactorily re- corded. Three election officials, q mod orator and two checkers, were em- ployed and there was no difficulty in recording the 300 votes cast although only, one machine was used.

RYAN AND RUHLIN

It Is not at all improbable that Ruhlin will be assisted in his train- ing for the fight with Jeffries by Tom my Ryan of syracuse. The latter got considerable credit for preparing Je1ries for his battles with t1tzslm- mons, Sharkey and Corbctt, but he and the champion arc not on speaking terms at present. Ryan says he knows how Ruhlin can beat the boilermake and he wants to show1 Gus how to do the trick. If Ryan's advice is of no more value than what he gave to Sharkey when the latter was up against Mccoy, Jeffries may have q chance to indulge in quite laugh should Ruhlin be defeated in short order.

 day to meet him at o'clock in New York in the evening to sign articles of agreement for the proposed fight with Sharkey. Selby came on to New York to keep the appointment, but MT Ken nedy did not appear. The former said he was not sure that his message had been delivered. He announced, how ever, that unless the stipulated sum of money is posted by the end of the week he will be forced to postpone the fight on account of his theatrical en- gagements. Martin J. Welch, a Mas sachusetts hotel keeper. says he Is prepared to put up $10,O00 for Selby against all corners, Jeffries preferred.

 Wherever the promoters of the lief frieS-Ruhiin fight may turn they can ind trouble. There is no change in the situation in Cincinnati. bark as it was there, it is darker in many other places. The governors of several states were interviewed yesterday with the idea of discovering whether they would 'stand' for the hght. None of them would stand for it, and the list in cludes Missouri, Minnesota, Alabama, Kansas and New Hampshire. It is evident that the promoters are on g. still hunt for the battle-ground, with little chance of their finding one this side of San Francisco
 The man who would interview the governor of New Hampshire on the chances of the fight. in that state must be a good deal of a knuve or Il good deal of fool. As well might he en- ter church and present his plan to a board of deacons. If the fight de- pended on the consent of the New Hampshire authorities, then nothing is more certain than that Jeffries and Ruhlin never would put up hands in a ring.
 Mayor Fleischmann of Cincinnati, now in New York, has passed all the blame along to the Saengerfest club, which, he says, is anxious for a loop hole to escape. As q matter of fact, to the outsider it would appear as if the mayor had made his escape. Now he is trying to cover his tracks. It is not recorded that when Mayor Fleischmann said he would issue q permit for the contest he made any mention of the sparring match on which he now rests so comfortab bly,. Everything went smoothly for every body connected with the match, the mayor included. until the churchgoers of Cincinnati set out after the fight. Then everybody who could do so took to cover. And everybody mixed up in the match is getting out of the wet.
 According to reports from Cincin- nati. the Saengerfest club is going ahead with it's arrangements, although what it's arrangements are has not been disclosed. If it be true. as May or Fleischmann says. that the Saen- gerfest Athletic club is anxious to get rid of the match. then the going ahead cannot amount to much.
