 lie may figure as a principal in a case 10 test the Ohio boxing law. During the last week the big Ohio fighter, has been training at Dyker Heights, and ne appeared to be in good shape when ne left Saturday. Ruhlin would have continued his exercise for the battle at Dyker Heights if it had not been Tor the cold winds He was afraid that ne would catch cold and thus injure his chances of success with Jefries. Ruhlin said that he was perfectly sat isf1ed in his own mind that the battle between himself and Jeffries will take place in Cincinnati. '-The attorneys of the Saengerfest Athletic associa- tion," he added, under whose auspices the fight will take place, are positive that there is no law in Ohio to prevent the bout. They have posted S5.0OO with the Atlas National bank of Gin clnnati as guarantee that. the club will carry out it's contract with the pugilists." According to those persons most. active in the effort to prevent Ruhlin and Jeffries from meeting in the ring, the laws of Ohio not only prohibit prize fights, but prevent pugi1- ists- from training in the Buckeye state. The Akron Giant is aware of this contention and if 8; test case is re- quired he is willing to figure as the principal He does not intend, how
 ever, to force matters, and for that reason has decided to locate in Gov ington, across the river from the Queen city. So far as boxing exhibi- tions are concerned. Ruhlin will con- sent to be arrested, if necessary, in order to thoroughly test the prize fight laws of Ohio. He said Saturday that he had contracted to appear in spar ring exhibitions with his boxing part ner, Denver Ed Martin, in a Cincinnati theater. The bouts will be restricted to four rounds, each round being lim- ited to three minutes. Regulation six ounce gloves will be worn by Ruhlin and Martin: Ruhlin said he was will ing to take the chance of being arrest ed. Il am willing to take all chances of imprisonment he said. 1.-The law yers of the Saengerfest Athletic asso- citation have assured me that my ar rest will be followed by q quick re- lease, as there is no law on the statute books I can violate by sparring.' The case will also have bearing on, the big contest, as 1t will positively settle the status of pugilistic contests, not only in Cincinnati, but in any part of the state. am sure there will be no interference from the authorities. I should dislike very much to see the battle declared off, for the reason that I am in splendid, physical condition at the present. time, and feel confident of scoring q victory over the champion. I am in much better shape than when I fought FitZsimmons. l expect to enter. the. ring weighing 1855 pounds and feeling stronger than ever before.''

The Chicago Chronicle asserts that South Evanston duck hunters and lov- CTS of fair sport are looking with guns for the man who baited long line and set it on the lake front to catch ducks or geese when they came ashore at night not long ago. Men acquaint- ed with the habits of game birds around the lake declare that they roost on the shore during the night to rest, and the following story is said to be true:
 Some one aware of the habits of the lake geese set long line with over 50 hooks fastened to it along the shore, anchored to stick driven into the sand. Every hook was baited and the. line extending along the shore for several hundred feet left for it's

New Britain. Jan 14.-Nine hundred enthusiasts cheered the home team on to victory Saturday night by score or to I, reversing the program in Waterbury the evening before.
 The Yellow Jackets made the Red Sweaters hump their stumps'' from the moment the first whistle blew. Henernan stood like Moro castle be- fore the onslaught of the visitors. D1cky Pierce received continual oya- tion and lovers of the hooked stick had genuine old fashioned nineteenth century jamboree in the home of the, thoroughbreds.
 Pierce lifted the hats of the cranks when he stepped on to the floor and the entree of the home boys was a happy moment with the rooters.
 Billy Lush is not third rail fay orlte- His handsome figure recalled past memories and misses greeted his debut. -
 The game started with a drive bv husseH, which was foiled by Curtis, but quickly returned to Heffernan. who made the initial stop. In a mo. ment Russell and Bill Whiting were in q mixup behind the goal. Russell go- Ing down on the floor. Curtis came In and made a close drive at Fox,s ., goal; then another and another at the little backstop. The ball flew near the New Britain cage when Bill Whit ing fooled Griffin and sent the circle back with thanks. Heffernan stopped three successive drives Then Wa terbury begnn= the first good passing of the game, but Russell failed to car. fy the bali along: Jean made a Ire mendous drive. which Hef returned. Curtiss drove for Fox. whose dainty TriIbies foiled the play. Russell had another opportunity, but failed to nail 1t. Foul on Russell for holding Bill Whiting aroused the strong drivers blood and he whitewashed past errors by caging first ball of game; time, 9:36.
 Just 1:56 later Pierce evened mat tefs by sending the sphere through Fox. Hon stopped & trio of drives when the first period c1osed-1-1.
 Second Yefiod-Russel drives heavy

 ThirtysiX seconds later Pierce with clean field runs another goal Referee Lush throws out new pail ana in 1wen- ty-three seconds Russell drives straight into New Britain's cage. After TOT of hard slamming Pierce cages ball, which Russell hooks over. Score, New Britain 4, Waterbury 2.
 Third period-Russel succeeds in getting in one of his star drives and cages the ball in 4:4S. Fox wards off q moments onslaught. Curtiss makes long drive and goals in 2:31.
 Russell cuts air with two tornado blows. Curtiss makes long drive to Pierce, who, cages again. Time 2:53. Three seconds later Russell rushes ball in for Waterbury.

Two Cclestia!s, Hop Lee and John
Sing, charged with grand larceny, will
have their preliminary examination in
Justice Court this afternoon and will
probably be bound over to the District
Court. They are accused of appro-
priating 1888 in certificates of deposit
and $40 in cash from the pocket in a
shirt left with the Hop Lee Laundry
on Main between 4th and 5th streets,
by Claude Hopkins, the Hughes Greek
freighter. One of the chinks
tried to cash one of the certificates at
a big discount. The arrests followed.
BY means of search warrant $37 in
currency was recovered. It is be.
lieved that the certificates were de
stroyed. The bank was notified and
nothing can be realized upon them
anyway.

TALK OF "A VALLEY LEAGUE
The Base Ball Cranks Are Becominf
Enthused Corvallis Defeats Ham.
ilton-Next Sundays Sche dule.

A game of ball was played at the
Hamilton Athletic park Sunday-the
first Of the season. The Hamilton
team was picked up on the grounds
and pitted against the Corvallis club.
The Hamiltons were defeated by d
score Of 2l to Z, and the least said
about the game the better. A large
crowd was in attendance, and Che
rooters were out in force. The Ham
ilton boys are not discouraged, and
they propose to strengthen the team
in its weak parts and will probably
play return game at Corvallis next
Sunday.
Victor defeated Florence last Suh-
day by score Of 21 to 10. It was q
pretty even game, except in the fifth
inning, when Victor made aspurt and
was credited with II runs. Van
Blariccm and Poindexter composed
Victor's battery, and Dishmon and
W. Scherr that of Florence.
Steyensville will meet Victor on the
Victor diamond next Sunday. The
Hamilton and Corvallis teams will
cross bats at Corvallis
There are now six teams in the val
ley Hamilton, Corvallis, woodside,
Victor, Stevensville and Florence.
Manager j. E. Marvin of Victor, who
has organized what is probably the
crack team of the valley, uniformed
them, and stimulated great interest
in the national game at the lower val
ley town, is agitating the formation
of Bitter Root valley league. Mr..
Marvin predicts some good ball play
ing in the valley before the season
ends.

State Militia Organizing.

When the war broke out with Spain
all the Montana companies were mus
tered into active service and the ma
tional guard in this state became
extinct. The legislature made an in
adequate appropriation and hence re-
organization of the state militia has
proceeded slowly. Adjutant General
McCulloch is doing the best he can
however, with the limited resources at
his disposal. A company has been or
ganized at Bozeman and last week
he received applications for the or
ganization of companies at Big Tim.
ber and Belt and he will go to those
towns shortly to confer with the mer
and see what can be done in tho
matter.
