Secretary Shaw tells story on Prof.
Hyatt, the weather observer at st. Louis.
Prof. Hyatt has the appearance of a
business man. During the recent street
car strike he was about to get on a
car when a member of the strike COM
mittee stepped up to him and asked Il
he intended riding on the car. The
weather man replied that such was his
intention. The striker sought to per-
suade him not to ride but the professor
preferred riding to walking and started
to get on the car
''WelI, if you ride on that car we will
withdraw our patronage from you,' said
the striker
II don't care whether you patroniZe
ME or not I'm in the weather business"
replied Prof. Hyatt, as he hoped on
the car.
A man has been found who is worried
about the twenty-five-foot bronze female
figure that surmounts the dome of the
Capitol Senator FRYE the other day re-
ceived a petition from him urging that
the Statue of Liberty be regilded, for
the reason that it is rather hard on
woman to put her out in the cold and
up ever so high without providing her
new dress once in a century at any
rate
The petitioner evidently overlooked the
fact that as the statue is of bronze it
has never been gildc1.

TRAINING is HARD WORK
FORMER LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION
TALKS ABOUT THE GAME.

Kid Lavigne, formerly lightweight
champion. In talking on training said:
There are few people who know what
1t is to be trained down below your nor
mai fighting weight 1 was once. and it
was when boxed that draw with Frank
Erne. At that time L was heavier than
90 Io5 pounds than it would be for me
TO make l8 at present. 1 put up de-
post of $500 that L would be at the
weight or forfeit and as it was nv
hard-earned money, it worried me a LOT
L told my brother that he ought to have
got Erne to consent to 1873 pounds give
OF take a couple of pounds, but Billy
was sure l could fight at 1873 handily. and
ne rldlculed the idea. Well, to make a
long story short, I trained hard and lust
day or so before the fight 1 weighed
myself and l was hugging the 1873 notch
and 1t frightened me- I said to mvse1f
that would have to take off a couple Of
pounds or | would lose that $500, and /
reduced The night of the fight came
and was feeling mean. I had not eaten
scarcely anything for fear that 1 would
be too heavy, and l remembered that I
felt rotten when l started for the ring
On the way down to the place where we
were to fight [ said to Paddy German.
VINO trained me, that I guess [ would
take a swallow of brandy to brace me
up and put some ginger in me- When 7
told him how felt he agreed that a little
brandy would brace me up, and went in
and bought a glass. But it seemed to
40 me no good, and when I stripped for
when | left the training ground.
When we came up for instruction [
said to myself. Now. have got to lick
this fellow quickly. or he will put it on
me, for | am not right and we went at
it. L hddled away, and Just when /
thought he was coming at me ] let drive
ana the next thing remember was hit

up, for In trying to save myself in going
down L only made matters worse and
hurt myself more than if [ had tried to
keep from falling. 1 remember pulling
myself up, and when I got back to the
corner 1 was dazed. and drunk in the
bargain. and I asked my brother where
Erne hit me, and he replied that | was
not hit and that I only. slipped down.
DO you know that drinking one glass of
brandy on my empty stomach made me
as drunk as though I had been out all
might on time, and it was a couple of
rounds before I got my head? If Erne
had only realized in what a critical con-
dition | was he would have beaten me
right there and then but luckily. he
stayed away for several rounds, and IN
the meantime 1 sobered up. The next day
some of the papers stated that l was
drunk, and l was, but not in the way
they meant it. No, sir; there is nothing
like going into the ring feeling good and
strong, and when one does he has a
great advantage over the fellow who
strips drawn and fine and feeling mean
There Is nothing like being in good con-
oatlon. for then your battle is half won. %

Resolutions Are Adopted Asking

Frank Olson at the meeting Of the Sec

night

for a long time. The men receive 81 80

ostensibly eight hours a day, beginning
about o'clock in the morning and quit

have been there all the season and there
is absolutely nothing in the way of re-
suits to show for what they have been

Mr.. Olson thought that this state Of
affairs should be remedied and the as
ISOLATION appeared to agree with him
unanimously. Other members spoke of the
situation at the hatchery, and the dis
cussion eliminated in a resolution offered
by Mr.. Olson to the effect that Repre-
sentative Dunn be notified Of the condi-
tions, and asked to see what could be
done in the way of having improvements
done by contract instead Of by day work.
The resolution was adopted and a copy

The association received a communica-
ton from Supt. Smith, Of the street rail-
way company. relative to the complaint
made at the last meeting of the associa-
ton in regard to the negligence Of the
conductors of the Seventh street and
Maria and Rondo cars in refusing to wait
for transfer passengers at the intersec-
ton
Mr.. Smith acknowledged the receipt of
the communication and also the receipt
Of a clipping from T h e Clio e Of the
morning following the meeting which the
officers of the association inclosed in their
letter to him. The superintendent did
not say what would be done in the mat
ter, but from conversation with the resi-
dents who use the lines it appears that
some orders must have been issued for
the cars now wait for the transfer pas
sengers.
The association also decided to affiliate,
as far as possible, with the First Ward
Business Mems club in their effort to
have the Rondo car line extended to Lake
Phalen. The association holds that the
lake is as much Of resort for residents
of the Second ward as 1T Is for those
of the First, and feel that anything that
can be done by the association should
be done willingly.

HANRAHANISP OUT
WILD BILL SUCCUMBs TO THE
PROWESS OF FRANK CHMDs,
THE COLORED LAD
LOSER WAS EASILY OUTcLAssED
Only One Minute of Fighting Had
Elapsed In the Fourth Round
When Hanrahan Went
to Sleep.

CHICAGO, Feb. S.-"Wild Bill Hanra-
hans aspirations to the heavyweight
championship were quickly dispeIled to-
night by Frank Childs, the colored
heavyweight, who knocked out the New
Yorker after one minute Of fighting in
the fourth round of a six-round contest
at the America club. Hanrahan was out
classed from the start, although at the
commencement of the first round he
landed a wild swing that landed on
Childs head Childs slipped from his
balance, but was up in a second and sent
Hanrahan to the floor with a stiff left
to the jaw. Hanrahan remained down
for the limit, but he had a shade the best
of it in the exchange that followed.
The second round was full of wild
swings, neither man doing any damage.
In the next round Childs began playing
for Hanrahan's stomach, and was more
successful at this style of fighting. On
several. occasions he landed on the New
Workers. abdomen without return. AS
the round progressed Hanrahan became
wilder than ever in his delivery, and
Childs tried for a knockout. He missed
Hanrahan's jaw, and the latter fell into
a clinch. Childs was the stronger and
shook Hanrahan off with ease and reach
ed his stomach with a right punch that
made FIanrahan groan.
When they came together in the fourth
round Childs continued to play for the
stomach, easily avoiding Hanrahan's
wild swings. After about 3 minute Of
fighting they got into clinCh, and on
the breakaWay Childs showed a straight
left into Hanrahan's stomach The blow
doubled Hanrahan up, and as his head
dropped forward the colore1 man brought
his right square on the Jaw. Hanrahan
fell fat on his back, ana after being
counted out his seconds carried him to
his corner where they worked over him
for fully ten minutes before he was able
to walk to his dressing room.
In a six-round bout Jimmy Handler, of
Newark, n. j., lost the decision to Jack
BeauschOlte, of Chicago. Beauscholte
used a left-hand jab that he was able to
land on Handlers face whenever he
pleased, and before they had been fight
ing two minutes he had Handlers nose
bleeding. Handler tried in every round
to land7a right swing, but was invariably
stopped by Beauscholte's left before he
could do any damage. Handler had a
little the better of 1t in the cltnches. but
was so far outclassed at long-distance
fighting that BeauScholte won with ease
The men met at catchweights, and Beau
scholte had about ten pounds the best of
it.
