league who fined his players less. 1t is doubtful if he ever took one cent from any of his players.
 This league will see faster ball than ever before despite the fact that Bris- tol says we will not. Manager Refs ling says he has a faster bunch or players than even Bristol had last sea son. He said yesterday that he did not think all the Bristol bunch would go to Springfield, but they cannot play base ball in any league except the American except in Springfield, and probably before the birds begin to sing the Bristol players will be glad to go to Springfield or any other place in the league.
 The Springfield Union was repre-. sented by MT Station, the sporting edi- tor of the paper, who will also be Roger Connor's official scorer. He is quite an enthusiast in sports and he predicts that Springfield will be cork ing good base ball city this season. He was tickled over the fact that the Bris- to1 players had been awarded to Springfield and says that when the people of Springfield realize the team they are going to have they win make things hum around the Massa. chusetts city.
 Manager Frank Reisling of the Hartford team was not disappointed because the Bristol players were not awarded to him. Some of the Bristol players have become sore at the doe tor and there are few in Bristol who are not players who blame Reisling because Bristol was dropped. The doctor said most emphatically yester- day to a Democrat representative that he was not to blame for the dropping of Bristol. that he would much prefer to have Bristol in because his business l is in Bristol. He says that there are several people in Bristol who are now trying to injure his business because 1 they believe him to be the cause of Bristol being dropped. He also said: T have a full team Of players 5now without any of the old men of the Derby or Bristol teams" Every man 1 is known personally to him and he says that Hartford will be in the first
 bunch right from the drop of the hat.

 A contest was arranged on Thursday night in Cleveland between Charley Wittmer of Cincinnati and Dan Me Leod of Hamilton, Ont, to take place in Cleveland on Febrary 6 for the Graeco-Aoman championship of the United States, two falls out of three On the same date Peter Schumacher of Cleveland will wrestle Butch Saar of Buffalo.
 Johnny Dunn writes from Buffalo, where John Fleming, the Butcher Boy" is meeting all corners at a local theater this week, that he will be back ill New York next Monday ready to make a match with either or both Charles Wittmer of Cincinnati and Carl Norbeck of Norway, or any other wrestler in the business. He further says that Fleming is in the business to Wrestle and he stands ready at all times to meet any and all heavyweight wrestlers that are worth engaging in match.
 h answer to the def printed in a recent issue of the London Mirror of Life and made by Tom Jenkins to Jack Carkeek, the latter has this to say If Jenkins comes to England I will certainly take him on, if am at liberty. I leave it to- the public to judge my ability, and simply offer $50 to any wrestler I cannot defeat in if teen minutes. l have never yet re fused to meet anyone who came for ward, and if Jenkins visits England and comes up on the mat he can win as many. S50 notes as he is able to. I wish him the. best of luck, and if he wins he will know that he has been wrestling. Jenkins has no right to the title of champion, as that honor be- longs to ne. Tom Gill, attorney gen. eral to the Wisconsin Central railroad, offered to match Evan Lewis, the Strangler,' to throw Jenkins two straight falls in an hour for S1.000. but Jenkins would never wrestle with Lewis, who has retired on his we'll earned laurels. And again, Jenkins has been defeated by Yousouf, Noura- lah and Hali Adali."

FOR FOREIGN ADVISERS.
Chinese Throne Urged to Copy Jap-
 anese Methods.

PEKING, Jan. 25.--The dowager em- press and her councillors are seriously discussing the enga cement of foreign advisers to reorganize the government. Yuan Shi Kai, viceroy of Pechili, is the inspiration of the movement. He re- turns to Paotingfu, having devoted several days to impressing the impor- tance of real reforms upon the court and urging the necessity for adopting foreign methods as being the only practical measures. He memorialized the throne, recommending the employ ment of eight foreigners of enfnence in various branches of governmental science, attaching them to different boards.
 The scheme in it's present form, after having been discussed by the members Of the council, is to engage six foreign CTS as authorities respectively on inter national law and finance and on mill. tary, naval. parliamentary, domestic and governmental affairs
 Yuan shi Kai and his followers are hopeful of practical results, They are taking Japan as their model, but any attempt to institute a parliament of any sort would meet with tremendous opposition from the Mantehoos.

Boston Want. Local Option.

BOSTON, Jan. 25.-One of the most important petitions for liquor legisla- ton in Boston has appeared in the sen ate from the Boston Temperance fed eration, asking for law for local op- ton in eight districts in this city. The bin asks that each of the different dis tricts which are called Boston (proper) East Boston, Charlestown, South Bos- ton, Dorchester, Roxbury, West Rox- bury and Brighton be allowed to vote each year on the question of allowing liquor to be sold in the respective dis tricts. Should such bill be passed ii will cut down the number of Lquor sa. looms in this city materially, as it pro vides for only one license for each SOC of the population in the district of Bos- ton and for each 1000 population in the remaining districts.

 At the St Joseph's rooms on East Main street last night meeting of the base ball association was held with President Freney in the chair.

HEARD IN THE CORRIDOR,

Mock of the Bristol team has signed with Toledo and that is one or the bunch that will be missing. Tom Ow- ems would like to play in Waterbury but it is doubtful If Roger will let that chap go.
 George Bone was around the corrl- dor with his arm still in splints. He expects to be all right when the season opens and the doctor told him he would be. Tickets were sent up here last night to sell for the benefit which Is to be given for Bone, and they will probably meet with a ready sale.
 There were several agents around the hotel yesterday trying to sell the league suits. One or two of the man. agers made dickers with them. Water bury will have coats this year as we'll as the regulation base ball suit. Each man also will have a separate bat bag and each man must look after his own stick the coming season.
 The Victor ball was adopted at the meeting and opinions were divided as to the choice. Last season both the Victor and the Spalding balls proved unsatisfactory, and it was freely dis cussed that the balls sent into this ieague are seconds or those that are refused by the big leagues. The man. agers should look up this matter before fhe season is very far advanced.
 Hi Ladd was around the hotel anx- ious to find out just where he stood. He was sent in on Derby's reserve list, but he claims he is not reserved. He says the Derby management owed him a months salary and that he cannot be reserved. He wants to play with New London and unless Hartford makes a big kick for him he may be awarded to New London at the next meeting.
 George Prentiss will find himself blacklisted if he keeps up his work. It was reported some time ago that he was going to play with the Boston American team. Then he was going to Albany and that team would buy his release from Manager Harrington. Tom Tucker said yesterday that he had received a letter from Prentiss asking tJr a chance with New London. Prentiss. alias Wilson, Is evidently looking for trouble.
 Bristol is pretty hard hit when she must keep up the cry now that she is out. The story sent ont from Bristol and p,->4sshed in this mornings Hart- Ford Couranf is bitter one and IS not true in some respects. That story said That Roger Connor was accustomed to fine his players and keep the money for himself That is not true and fhere is probably no manager in this

Dixon Knocked Ont

BALTIMORE Jan. 25.-George Dix, on, the veteran colored pugilist, went down and out last night in the ninth round under rain of body blows de livered by Eddie Lenny. It was an ex- cellent exhibition of sparring. Lenny had the better of the argument through. out. His blocking rendered it impossi. ble for the colored man to land a tell ing blow, while Dixon proved to be shiftier than his old friends had ex. pected and avoided many hard leads.

DEVINE OUTPOINTS SULLIVAN.
 Philadelphia, Jan 25.-The wind-up at the Central A. c. last night between Spike Sullivan and Billy Devine, the clever local man, atoned in a measure for the fizzle of the preliminaries and the bout that was substituted to fill out the evenings entertainment In Deyine, Sullivan met man that was always there with him in any kind of milling and what little choice there was between the boxers goes to Devine Devine had rather the better of the first two rounds. In the first encoun- ter he rushed Sullivan to his knees In the next round in a rush Sullivan tumbled out of the ring by a rope breaking. Meanwhile the men were exchanging rights and lefts on the face in clever style. Sullivan went at De- vine in the following rounds. He as stunned crouching position and forced the fighting Deyine several times caugh Sullivan in his rushes with left half swings, although Sullivan did the jabbing act well. In the closing round Sullivan rushed three times and as of ten Devine ducked out of reach. On the fourth trip Devine caught Sullivan on the face, much to the delight of the crowd, while Sullivan was warned for hitting low. Devine was always ready for his man and on the last rush of the round nearly fought Sullivan to the floor.
