Clay, formerly Representative from Au-
drain County, who was killed last spring.
by Clay's political friends of Mexico. head
ed by John Orear. Luckily several good
photographs of the dead young man were
eXtant. These guided Mr.. Riess in his
drawing, and. having obtained minute de-
scription as to coloring, the result is pro-
nouEced a good likeness and a strong
painting.
The artist began his work last November
and it was turned over to Mr.. Orear last
week. 1t will be formally presented to
Colonel Green Clay, father of the dead
man, New Years. at the iattar's hom. The
painting has not as yet been seen by many
of young Clay's former friends. and they
are anxiously waiting until 1t is exposed
to public view.
Rhodes Gay was regarded as a rising
factor in State politics when the bullet cut
short his life. The difficulty between him
and Clarence Barnes. who also is member
of a leading Mexico family. and who stands
well in the community. was OF old stand
ing. QuarrelS had previously taken place.
They met about six months ago in front of
the Mexico Post Office.
After a moments hesitation. IN which 1t
was brought out that Clay advanced toward
Barnes, both men drew pistols and began
firing. Clay was shot through the breast,
and Barnes wounded in the arm. The
Grand Jury refused to find true bill.

CANS WHIPS CONNOLLY.

Philadelphia, Jan Flor four rounds and one-half of the fifth ill what was to have been a six round wind-up, between Joe Cans of Balti- more and Eddie Connolly of New Brunswick, at the Washington X. C.. last night, the New Brunswick dele gate did nothing but hug and wrestle, adding variety to his performance in the third by deliberately trying to butt the Baltimorean. Referee Bocap stopped the bout after Connolly had been rendered practically helpless by Gans's punches.
 There was little or nothing done in the first round, Cans simply blocking Connolly's swings. Tn the second there was a little more action. Con molly got to Gans's wind, which .ap- peared to weaken the colored man and bother him. Cans landed many shoIt t Jolts on Connolly's head and body. vis- ibly tiring the latter. From that on to the finish it was nothing but a tray esty. Unlike Young, who made such a rank quit on the previous show, Con- molly was willing to stand the gaff, al- though he plainly showed willingness to lose the verdict on foul.
 In the third round Connolly made three attempts to butt Cans. for which he was vigorously hissed by the spectators. In the clinches and breakaways he also tried to get m his; fine work, but was invariably stalled off by Gans's clever tactics.
 At the end of the round he was al- most out. The fourth round was practically q repetition of the third. with the putting feature omitted. Again Connolly was saved by tlc sound of the gong. Cans cut loose il the fifth and landed almost at will but always with short jolts. Con molly sought to postpone the llou. of his going with hugging and wrestling. In the middle of the round, it being apparent that Connolly had no chance to make even respectable showing Referee Bocap sent the boys to theil corners. Cans received the decision

to light substantiating this declara. tion.
 There are but two or three great 1s-inch balk line players in this coun- try" is the argument of this group o1 manufacturers. Why should we con. tinue to keep them on the pay roll and pay out big money each time we wish championship when the coun- try is full of devotees of the three cushion style of play? The country took to bowling because anybody may play the game. Our contention is that three-cushion billiards is easy and the public is ready to adept it as the popu- lar game It is pyrotechnical and there are hundreds of good players where there are but few experts at balk line. We will declare that three-cushion bill liards is to be the championship game. and there will be no end to the state. municipal and sectional. champion ships. When you get right down to bed rock. we and we alone, are the people who are paying to keep 1s-inch balk line at the head of the procession We are through. There will be no more great 18-inch balk line champion ship tourneys!'
 If you play billiatis,s take the prog nostication of the billiard authority un der advisement, and when satisfied that the trend is toward the angle style of the game, practice it. While you may not be able to make a run of 20 at 1s-inch balk line, you may rest as- sured that conscientious work with the cue in practice al three cushions sometimes may be rewarded by run of eight or more at angle billiards.

the red and blue of the University of Penns ylvania, carried off more records than any other man from 14 coun- tries represented. His college dean once told him that the reason so many college graduates made a fail ure in practical life was that they knew nothing outside of books. Ath- letics never divide energies, Kraenz- lein holds; they multiply them- T could do more work and better work while training than at any other time in the term is his positive statement. As to young men carried away by an excess of enthusiasm for athletics, they are in the minority compared to students carried away by other phases of life not half so worthy. All of his faculty at Wisconsin and Penn. thoroughly believed that athletics was healthy adjunct of Var sity life. To-day Kraenzlein is the greatest living example of the stren- uous athlete and finished scholar. He took his first hurdle over a coal bin in the basement of the East Side high school in Milwaukee. He has hurdled all difficulties in university life since then and is now ready at any time to give a college student gratuitous instructions on how to combine mental and physical train ing.

WITH THE POLoISTS.
The Meeting Thursday in New Haven
 May Be Warm.

t ne MeetlnS luurSudN III r1NeW I1dNeu
 May Be Warm.
 There will be some pretty warm mo- ments down in New Haven on Thurs day afternoon, when the polo managers and directors get together Acting un- der the advise of counsel, President E. l.. Maloney called that meeting, and he will carry on the proceedings under the same legal advice. From the present outlook it appears that the managers who were present at the snap meeting did very illegal thing and also very unkind thing. If the managers will rake their memories a little they will remember that when New Britain wanted to drop out of the league the managers voted to give the New Brit ain manager all that was coming to him. It seems very strange, therefore, that Manager Harrington, who has lost more money than any other manager in the league, should have been made the mark in that meeting and fined all that was coming to him and expelled from the league. Manager Harrington stuck to the ship under worse circum- stances than fell to the lot of any other manager in the league. He is entitled to some consideration, and if he can not get it from the managers he will certainly involve all of them in q legal squabble that will eat up all the money , taken in.
 Perhaps the meeting will be har- monious one on Thursday afternoon, and that the managers will do the right thing. If not then there will be some surprises sprung that will make the breach wider and will give a black eye to sports in this state It may be that Manager Harrington will be barred from the meeting on Thursday but if he is it will precipitate the fight that is sure to follow, and then the president may be called upon to use his prerogative, which he would very much dislike to do. However. let us hope that it will all end well and when It Is over the managers will shake hands and get ready for battle with the balls and cages next season.

But of more impor- tance to fans than his apparent retro grading which really is looking for ward' instead of "backward''- the change in veteran team that .sKidv Nichols absence will bring about. Herman Long, the sensational short stop, and Robert Lincoln Lowe, the famous second baseman, served the same long period with the Boston club. Long says he will remain with Soden's club next season.
 Lincoln, in many respects, is one of the best-known ball players in the country. Going from the famous Blues after the season of 1888, he became the great twirler for Omaha the next year. With Frank Selee, the manager, he went to Boston the following year, and pennants came easy to Boston with Nichols to go in at vital points and clinch games. Fate seems to act as readily upon important baseball com binations as does advancing age. Selee will manage Chicago next year, while Nichols will try his hand al managing, owning and pitching in Kansas City. The baseball players know how yalu- able twirler Nichols has been to Bos- ton. Yet none will quite agree upon a description of his most effective twirling. "He knows every player and just how to fool him." is the general way of putting it.
