CYCLISTS IN sIx-DAY RACE
Elkes and Bald Will be One Of the Stai
Teams in the Grind Next Month

Fixes and Bald Will be One Of the Star
Teams in the Grind Next Month.
There have been six-day grinds in
cranks enough in the business to pedal
their constitutions off this globe in
years to come, but it's a safe bet that
the six-day race in Madison Square
Garden mapped out for next month
will make races of days gone by look
like tin whistle concert playing dates
against Sousa's band.
The list of talent engaged for the
week is not only the most brilliant
ever dished out, but there are enough
special features billed to alone make
up a weeks sport. In the first place
the special match race will be decided
on the Saturday night preceding the
race. between those two wonders of the
pace-following game, Jimmy Michaels,
the Welsh marvel, and that fleet Yam
kee youngster, Harry Fixes, will turn
out contest that will once and for all
decide who is champion of the indoor
e-following game. These two
speedy merchants are now on their
way to this country from France,
where they have been burning holes in
the foreign tracks.
Elkes, by the way, also will ride in
the six-dav grind, coupled with Eddie
Bald. who has regained all his o1d-time
speed and stamina. This team will be
one of the star couples of the American
division, and to be stars of the lot that
are entered to uphold the honor of the
Stars and Stripes is saying good deal.
Never in the history of long-distance
contests has better lot of riders en-
tered for race. Tt promises to be an
event that will burn holes in cycling

WOMEN NOT WANTED.

While it is true that more women
than men successfully pass the civil
service examination, fewer of them are
appointed than formerly. In the past
year or two prejudice against the APP
pointment Of women as clerks has
grown up among the several heads Of
the departments. No particular reason
OF cause for this prejudice is assigned
by the civil service commission, but it
exists and seems to be growing.
When a vacancy occurs in any diyis-
ion of department the civil service
commission Is notified and three names
are certified from the eligible list. The
names do not include Woman's be-
caHse the chief of the division has re-
quested that only men be submitted,
and the commission complies with the
request.
Last year out Of 1O,291 persons GER
titled for appointment through the civil
service, and who received appoint
ments, only 783 were women, and this
in face Of the fact that, the women OIL
the average made higher percentage
in the examination than the men.
Not long ago the civil service COM
mission was called upon for ten stenog-
raphers and typewriters. This meant
the submission of thirty names of sue
cessful applicants, who, after much
study, had passed the examination and
were on the eligible list There were
many women on the eligible list of
stenographers and typewriters. who
stood near the top, but not one had her
name submitted because only men were
asked for.
This discrimination against the wo-
men applicants for appointments in the
government service through the com.
petitive system Of the civil service is
mob confined to any particular depart
ment, but seems to be general, al
though, it is said, the feeling has been
more pronounced in the postofice de-
partment.
An official Of one of the departments
In talking about this movement against
the appointment Of women az clerks
said: 1t is in the interest of the SER
vice, and also the women themselves
Every time woman is appointed to d
clerkship in one of the departments
she lessons the chance of marriage for
herself and deprives some worthy man
of the chance to take unto himself d
Wife and raise a family. And in add.
ton to that the men make far better
clerks. They complain less. do more
work overtime if need be without
grumbling"
When 1t becomes generally known
that the women do not stand as much
chance as formerly in the matter Of Sc
curing a government position through
the medium of civil service examina.
ton it is believed that there will he n
perceptible falling off in the number
of women applicants and correspond.
ing increase among the men applicants
Figures furnished by the civil service
commission show gradual falling off
in the number of women appointed in
the classified service during the past
ten years. and if this continues at the
present ratio it will be but a few wears
when no woman will be certified for
appointment to any position in the
classified service except those to which
no men are appointed. Washington

Monday night Hipson was working
the wires from Hartford and the big
offers to players were signed by Jen-
nings, a former Hartford man.
The Chelsea team had Maynard, an
old time favorite in the city, known
as the WIG nail Ddck VI hOckldHu,
guarding the goal, owing to the en-
forced absence Of Heffernan on &C,
count of sickness in his family. Al
though out of his position as player,
Maynard made good, and he had the

| shouts of approval Of good plays on
the part of the other players of his
team with his good work at goal
stamped him as favorite for the flu
ture in this city Portland Argus.
The polo referees all had trouble
Tuesday night. Worcester beat Law
renee IA to 6, and Woods and Jason
had a fight. Tom Connolly fined them
50 each. Pierce got cut over the eye
| in the general mix-up and stopped
playing. Connolly refused to blow his
whistle when asked, and Lawrence
scored. That angered Devlin Of Wor-
cester, and he chatted with Connolly
and was sent to the woods. Worces-
ter finished with four men. Lowell
beat Portland 4 to 3. Klobedanz was
constantly kicked at by the players.
Chelsea beat Clinton 6 to 3. Referee
| Cornell didn't call fouls enough on
Clinton to suit the crowd, and there

With THE URESTIERS.
Mcleod and Dwyer Face Each
Other Tonight.

Great Crowd Will Be Present to See
the Fastest Wrestler in the World
Mcleod Says He Will Show Wrest-
ling That Was Never Seen Here Be
fore Dwyer In Better Form Than
Ever.
Everything is in readiness for the
big wrestling tournament which will
take place tonight at the Auditorium
and Manager Carroll is now assured
OF a crowded house. He should be
given that house, too, for he has
brought to this city one of the best
wrestlers in the world to-day and
man who is not afraid to face any
wrestler in this or any other country.
The name of Dan Mcleod is known IN
every country as one of the fastest
and cfeverest wrestlers that was ever
produced. Possessed of wonderful
strength, as agile as tiger and with
the same tenacity of that animal he
never allows his man a second
breathing time, but is after him con-
tinually. He will face tonight an
other fast and clever wrestler in Pro-
fessor Dwyer. He will, however, en-
deavor to throw him three times in
one hour. Dwyer has had many
matches here and all of them have
shown him clever and strong Wrest-
Ter. 1t will remain for to-night's con-
test to see how he will fare with one
of the champions of the mat. No one
can deny that Dwyer has brought
wrestling up to the point it has reach
ed In this city, but heretofore he has
had practically everything his own
way. He viii be up against a tough
proposition tonight when he faces Nc
Leod.
There viii really be two. star bouts,
for the preliminary will bring here
another champion wrestler of the west
ern school of wrestling. This man is
Butch" Saar. who has as many alias
es as any wrestler on the mat to-day.
He is built on the same lines as Nc
Leod, but weighs probably thirty
pounds less. Under the name OF
Barnes he came to Waterbury looking
for John d. Kelly's scalp, but he miss
ed it because Kelly would make nc
match. Under the name of Smith ne
went to New Haven and there be
came Dryers wrestling partner. He
was ehristened the name of s'The Fly.
ing Dutchman'' by Kelly, but his
right name is the first one given. He
will face Perrigard of the Brooklyn
Athletic club and will try to throw
him three falls in thirty minutes. This
bout will begin at $50 sharp and from
that time until the close Waterbury
will see some of the best wrestling
ever produced. in this part of the coun
try.
Joe Carroll, the Irish wrestler, has
made big hit in Boston, where he is
meeting all corners. He showed won
derful superiority over his fellow
craftsmen on Tuesday night by floor
ing four men after eighteen minutes OF
vicious wrestling. From start to finish
the Hibernian was on the aggressive
and at no time did he give his oppo
nents a rest. When ready he shout
dered them to the mat.

o Washington, Jan. A. Some y. .,,ao,
.,o,a features of the protocol between
.ha United States and Nicaragua ie
, ,orred to in President Zelayas mes
soce to his congress have been in'u.
,nown in recent press dispatches fronl
Manop,,a, But there are many olnel
important features which have i NV
ROT been disclosed, one of these pe.ns -
the complete American Jul'su '',aon
and the establishment OF Amerie"'l
courts. civil and criminal, throushou.
zone six miles wide and eAlehuins
from ocean to ocean and including .he
proposed termini - Greytown Oh 'ne
Atlantic and Brito on the PACING !.
The entire policing of this large trae'
also is placed in the hands OF the uhi',
ed States. so that 1t has the power "
preserye order and after that to ISSUE
judicial process extending throughout
this zone
Besides the authority of American
courts and of the American ponce vi
the six mile zone. the chief features
of the protocol are in giving lease III
perpetuity of this tract to the lhiteu
States and mt the same time giving al
American guarantee that the lhde-
pendence. sovereignty and integrity Oh
Nicaragua Shall not be disturbed by
the rights thus conferred upon the
United States.
Doubt About the Price.
No exact information is obtalnable
as to the price specified in the protocoI
as payment to Nicaragua for the grant
to this country. 1t can be stated posi-
lively however. that this price is much
less than WIS expected when the ne
yotatons began and that it is consid-
'red by officials as reasonable.
1t is understood that at the outset .
he view in Nicaragua was that S2O,-
CO. 600 would be a proper figure for the
rant to this country and about $1,000
OO for Costa KicH'S grant. but while
here is no information as to the final
nm in the protocol. it is known to be
n short of the above figures.
AS the cession takes the form of a
'rpetual lease it is probable that the
'otocol includes the feature of an an.
lal rent as part payment.
A protocol with Costa RIGA. identical
form with that with Nicaragua ex.
pit in the matter of price and terri
y leased. has been in course of negO-
tlon ard ii is understood that sat
actory conclusion will be reached
