CLUB WILL FIGHT.

Boston, Jan 1O.-Taking the cue from Governor Cranes orders to the state police to put an end to illegal boxing meetings in Massachusetts, the Boston police made q preliminary move yesterday in an effort to con- vict the men who participated in the bouts held by the Isoteric club last Monday evening. The principal bout was between Oscar Gardiner, the Omaha Kid and Tim Callahan of Phil adelphia. For q preliminary Kid Good man and another local youngster named Woods were put on. Warrants were applied for yesterday for the ar- rest of these four men on the charge of participating in an illegal boxing meeting, and, as Gardiner and Calia. han are safely out of the clutches of the police, the two local noHices \ Il probably be arrested to-day. After hearing the evidence of two officers Judge Forsaith decided to issue the warrants to-day. The Isoteric club is willing and anxious to test the law thoroughly and tile officers were ad- mitted to the boxing meeting Monday with that end in view. Both police men obtained admittance by going be- fore the directors Of the club, taking the oath before Q justice of the peace to live up to the bylaws, and after paving dollar each received mem bers' tickets. The club has engaged counsel and will make fight.

]. NOT ROSY FOR STUART.

s'Is Jeffries going to meet any one else in the near future ?s' Manager Brady was asked. "You. may state that Jeffries will not meet any pugilist at Carson City under the management of Dan Stuart. He prefers to go to San Francisco, where the law allows sparring matches under proper regula- tions. If he spars in San Francisco it will either be under the management of J. c. Kennedy of New York or J. J. Groom of San Francisco. At pres- ent it is hardly likely that the cham pion will consent to meet Fitzsimmons at all. Jeffries offered match to Fitzsimmons and he did not see fit to accept it at that time, and now he will have to wait until Jeffries is ready to meet him. Jim is now in a position to do little dictatlng himself" Mar tin Julian says there will be no fights at Carson unless he is consulted. II own half the arena at that point, the construction of which cost 5000. 1 will have something to say when it is proposed to hold fight there." From which it can be seen that MT Stuart's pathway is not so smooth as it might be-

AUTOPSY SHOWS HEMoRRHAGE.

Phillipsburg, Jan 1O.-Acting under instructions from Prosecutor Angle
 Drs Reese and Barber of this place and Dr Roberts of Easton made an autopsy upon the body of Frank Welch, the dead pugilist. yesterday morning. and then went to Belyidere to present their report to the grand jury. No inquest was held by the coroner. The prosecutor deemed such q proceeding unnecessary as the grand jury is ready to go ahead at once with the investigation after receiving the report of the post mortem examina- ton. The body of Welch was sent to Philadelphia yesterday afternoon in charge of Charles Huegas, a brother in-law. Dr William H. c. Neff, Ed ward Madden and Miss Katherine Grabfelder, the sister of Welch. ac- companied the body. The physicians learned that the death of Welch was due to hemorrhage~ of the brain and will so report. Dr W. H. c. Neff, one of the fight promoters, was released from jail yesterday in $500 bail fur nislied by his brother.

NOT A FATAL FIGHT.

Atlantic City, Jan 1O.-Louis Ma jane, and Charles Abramowitz fought here Tuesday night at the Atlantic City A. c. The police stopped the bout in the tenth round and Majane, who became unconscious was removed to the hospital. Abramowitz was ar rested, as Afajane appeared to be in precarious condition. Mayor Franklin P. Stoy personally investigated the fight and he is of the opinion that Ma jane is not severely hurt, but that he collapsed through oyerexertion, and that with proper medical treatment he will be able to leave the hospital ill q few days At the hospital last even ing ot was said that Majane received q hard punching, and that the blood which smeared his face and covered his body issued from the nose and not from q ruptured blood vessel as was first supposed. Chief of Police Eld- ridge last night appeared before Re corler Robert Stephany and charged Abramowitz with prize fighting, which is statutory offense. Abramowitz was released after entering $500 bail for a hearing Friday. Chief Eldridge says he will make similar complaint against Maiane when discharged from the hospital and that the effect of the prosecution means the stopping Of such exhibitions in this city,.

MILDRED HOLLAND.

Miss Mildred Holland ought to be greeted by a large audience when she appears this evening at Polls in ''The Power Behind the Throne" for the performance will undoubtedly be a very fine one. The play, which is a new romantic one, written by Theo- dore Kremer, and founded on Schiller's classic Hove and Intrigue" admits of brilliant details of scenery and costum- ing. and these are provided with lav- 1sh munifcence and a rare fidelity to historical correctness. Miss Holland portrays the part of Aria, the daugh- ter Of a court musician, who is loved by a young baron, and he in turn is loved by duchess. who schemes to secure his hand. The plot takes the young couple through 8 series of schemes to ultimate happiness. A brilliant cast appears in support of Miss Holland, including Lillian Norris, Frances Brooke, Rita O'Neal, Freder- lck Ormonde, Victor de Silke. Frank Drew, s. A. Rose, L. D. Wharton, Leonard Walker. Florence Renner and many others. Prices are 25, 35, 50, Io cents and $1.

Barney Dohertv is good polo play CT and there is no one in this league. that doubts it. but he kills all his good playing by his tough tactics. A little; roughness is not4a detFiment to | polo player, but when it comes to fighting that should be cut out and cut out quick.
 Already plans are under way for a great National league next season. Meriden will not be included in the number if the. plans mature. There will be Hartford, New Haven, Water bury, Springfield, Bridgeport, New Britain and perhaps one other Massa- chusetts city.
 Tom Cotter worked harder last night than in any game that he has not stem the tide that was bearing his players out into the storm. The big fellow seems to be disliked by many of the fans in this city. but there is no reason for it because he is a pret- ty good sort of chap on and off the foor
 New Britain should turn out a big crowd on Saturday night, when the first game is played there. Waterbury will be the team that will cross hook eys with the new New Britain team, and the fans over there should be de- lighted to see Parsons. Russell, Jean, Griffin. Holderness and Fox. The New Britains will try hard to win their first game and there is an aggregation in that team that can play if they try too.
 What mistake it was to place the Springfield team in Meriden. Meriden has always been dead sporting city unless her team was at the head. They are lot of quitters over there if the team is losing. It was always so in base ball, football, and now it has come true in polo. It should be good sporting city, for it is large enough. but for some reason or other it is not. If the National league goes under Meriden will be to blame.
 The Eagles of this city are fast climbing the ladder of fame and they will soon reach the top round if they continue to play such brilliant polo as was furnished to the spectators who went down to the West End rink last night to witness the game against the Stars of OakvilIe, one of the best Quin- tets hereabouts. but they met their match in the Eagles last night Ine passing of both teams was excellent and received much merited applause from those present. u WAS one oI tue hottest contests yet played on the rink in a long time. It took hftee!l minutes to cage the first ball, so it will be seen that the players were doing all in their power to keep the rubhel out of the cage. Manager Lynch feels very proud of the victory. and justly so, and now his team is looking lol other scalps. Although young. the Eagles are a fine set of polo players and are bound to prove of value tc some big team later on. The score ended to 1 in favor of the loca | team.

 The man, says the Chicago Chronicle, did not take the trouble to turn his head, much less reply to the volubil- ity of the policeman. The latter waXed angry.
 Probably you think you are one of the elites that live on the Lake Shore drive," he shouted in the ear of the man. 1T don't care red cent if you're royalty of Europe travelling incog I'll run you in sure as my names Bill O'Hoolahan if you don't get a qricl. move on yourself.

BASKET BALL.

Manager Jesse Devine. of the High school basket ball team, has received word from the manager of the Yale freshman quintet that his players. without exception. are in prime con dition. and will put up the game of their lives in the game on Saturday afternoon with the High school boys in the Y. M. c. A. gymnasium. The To- cal players are also in fine condition, with the exception of Ralph Ward. who is i'll. The local team has several good substitutes to rely upon, if Ward is unable to play. To-day Captain Byrnes and his men will indulge in their last practice before the game on Saturday afternoon. They have per fected a system of team play and eX- pect to show q great improvement over their showing in their game with the Watch shops. The game is attracting considerable attention and it is expect ed that the seating capacity of the Y. NJ. c. A. gymnasium will be taxed to it's limit on Saturday afternoon by those anxious to see the game.

TROUBLE FOR A WOMAN.
Gets Into a Jam by Trying to Polish D Silk Waist with Gasoline
 and Kerosene. -,

Down in Auburn Park lives pretty housewife who has added one more to her list of "dont's.'' It is this, says the Chicago Chronicle:
 Don't clean a silk waist with gaso- line until the stuff has been chemical ly analysed"
 A week ago while overhauling her wardrobe, she found two silk waists dainty affairs with lace and things all over them-and number of pretty ribbons, which she decided would look much better after being treated with gasoline. That treacherous stuff, by the way, is nearly every woman's

Julian is anxious to bring his big Turk to Brockton and pit him against Parker The latter will wait and get line on the young giant before he gives his answer.
 What has become of the packers of George Bothner of New York? Are they laying low or have they given up the idea Of backing the New Yorker against Kelly? There is one match that would draw out q crowd. and should be an interesting one.
 Evidently they don't place much con- 1idence in Harvey Parker and John Little in Pawtucket. The Times, of that city, intimates that both have been mixed up in funny games. Well. it is the easiest game ill the world to fake, and perhaps they have done q little of it.
 Faust's manager wanted Parker to wrestle Graeco- Roman. also to practi- cally agree to lose Parker dropped negotiations with MT Manager. Parker may meet the big fellow in New York and perhaps arrange for a catch-as- catch-can match, although it is evident Faust has q great deal of respect for the Brockton man and may refuse to WTcSllc tHdL StNit.
 Harvey Parker has received q letter from pr D. A. Sargent, of the Hem enway gymnasium, Harvard college, stating that he was desirous to arrange for instruction in wrestling among some of the students. and asking if 1 Parker would consider a proposition | to act as instructor. Parker will have | an interview with Dr Sargent to-mor- f row.-Brockton Enterprise.
 Alex Swanson has been heard from, l and he would like to wrestle Kelly, | but he can not get the backing that is necessary. He would wrestle, how ever, for, the winner to take all the
 gate receipts, but Kelly won't have | anything like that, because when he | came to settle up he might find that
 the gate receipts would not cover the | expenses There must be a money
 consideration or Swanson will not be
 taken on. --'-

 required for his match with Kelly. l Hes is in fine form now. stronger and better than he has been since his un- | fortunate trip to Baltimore. If he 1 can clear up enough wealth this win | ter he will go across the water again,

panacea for erything that requires cleaning, except teeth.
 The girl was dispatched for the gas oline to neighboring grocery-not the one at which the family trades and it proved to be hole-in-the-wall sort of place, more given to the sale of mackerel and debilitated eggs than anything else. Blithesome the girl returned with bottle of gasoline, and the woman who had determined to clean things up bit dumped the stuff into big pan and asked her hus- band to stand by in case of an explo- sion. If she left the house she evi- dently wanted him to go with her. Into the pan of gasoline she soused the delicate waists, and after they were lifted out the ribbons went in, while an awful aroma permeated everything. The husbanL was too busy to see the finish, but when he returned that night he heard the story.
 "I thought that stuff smelled sort of funny" said the indignant light of the household: '.what do you think ? It's about half kerosene, and every thing put into it is ruined.''
 It was not the husbands turn to say anythi4g, but what he thought about that grocer was sufficient.
 Il don't suppose there's any. use suing the fellow." said the wife, su9- positively. No; if we won the case he would have to turn over his grocery to ua,' ,'' said her husband. "and that would be worse luck than we've had" And then they let the natter drop.

DELANEY SAYS JEFFRIES SURE.

William Delaney. who will train Champion Jeffries for his coming bat tie with Gus Ruhlin at Cincinnati, says that the boilermaker will win with a knockout. "1 seconded .Ief- fries.''. said Delaney the other day. "when he fought that twenty-round draw with Ruhlin in California. The big fellow was in rather poor shape physically and quite green as to the fine points of boxing. In spite Of the handicap, however, the Akron man was lucky to get a draw. Jeffries is q better boxer today than lie was then and he will beat Ruhlin with q knockout. The champion is unques
 tionably the hardest hitter in the ring today and can take more punishment than any other heavyweight in the world. Nobody has ever been able to hit him hard enough to send him to the boards and he has received some pretty hard knocks. Ruhlin is a big. strong, husky fellow and pretty clever.
 He has learned a lot since he fought Jeffries on the coast and will pfoba- bly make q good showing in the ear Her rounds. but Jeff will eventually beat him down. just as he did FitZ- simmons and Corbett. Jeffries's pre- paration for the battle will be ar ranged on systematic basis. He will devote certain hours q day to sey eral forms of athletic exercise. He will box. wrestle, punch the bag, toss the medicine ball, work the wrist ma chine, take long walks, ride the wheel and TOW on the lake. He will be ill perfect condition when he enters the ring at Cincinnati. Jeffries weighs now. before beginning work, about 23o pounds. He will tip the beam at about PIP the day before the mill. if nothing happens. He weighed POS when he whipped Fitzsimmons. PIP when he outpointed Sharkey and 215 in his battle with Corbett. He will not have much trouble in reducing as he is a hard worker and is an excellent | judge of his own condition.'
