FOOTBALL At FALL RIVER.

Some 1000 spectators turned out on Sat
urday afternoon last at Fall River TO wit
ness the game between the Pan-Ameri-
cans, OF Providence. and the Oaks, in
the New England league series. which re-
suited in a draw. The attendance at
these football ructions this year has given
strength TO the assumption that Fall Riv-
er is ripe for all kinds of sports, and il
is believed that teams vcrsed I'm Rugby
tactics could draw paying audiences.
More than that there are sporting men
i'm City hall circles who are inclined To
the opinion that baseball team could
be managed successfully in Fall River
next year and at last accounts capitalists
were hunting for public golf links and
site for winter swimming tanks. Unless
indications are misleading, sports OF all
kinds are booming. and sports are so far
ahead OF temptations for the young and
the designations in which the old indulge
that citizens are greatly encouraged.
Even the goodies" are lifting their heads
and are insinuating that boxing matches
would not injure the community, al
though they are brutal because they hurt
the pockets OF those who pay to see them
more than the faces and persons OF the
sparrers, who work the public, as good
things" are always worked.

THAT talk about Little Rock not being I'm
the Southern league In 1902 Is all rot:
Charley Frank and Newt Fisher would
not let us go, as we are too good thing,
even IL they could. They simply want
us TO think they are good fellows by vot-
ing at our December meeting that Little
Rock be retained. They (the circuit COM
mittee) are to cost the league about 500
a month all winter. the president
writes us They have got TO show some
thing for this, OF course, and that's why
you read the Knoxville story. Don I
worry. Little Rock will be on hand In
1902 and I'm the Southern league. The
circuit committee was only created by
the league. and they simply have their
report TO make to the league 10 be acted
on. The circuit committee is not tho
league by any means. Manager Fisher
denied at the Chattanooga meeting that
he ever said he would not stay in the
league with myself. In fact. We are on
friendly terms. You can say that We

BAN On THE DIVORCED.
Protestant Episcopal Bishops Vote for New
Canon-Deputies 10 Act

San Francisco (SpeciaD.- The action
Of greatest importance taken by the
Protestant Episcopal General Conven-
ton was the adoption by the House OF
Bishops, by vote of 81 to Il, of Canon
80, which relates to solemnization OF
marriage.
All OF its provisions had previously
been argued, except those contained in
Section A. which forbids .he marriage
OF persons divorced for any cause not
existing before marriage. The last
named clause is understood to refer to
such causes as insanity, the existence Of
a previous living wife or husband, or
like reasons, which practically render
the marriage void
This section has been a bone of con
tention, a strong element in the Church
holding that the remarriage of the in
nocent party to a divorce granted on
the ground of inhdelity should not be
forbidden. The Bishops have refused to
accept this view. The question is by no
means settled, as the whole subject is
now to come up in the House OF Depu-
ties where it is expected to cause a pro
tracted debate.
