WILL CONTINUE FIGHT
FOR GREENE AND GAYMO2
Instructions Sent to Quebec Not to Give
Up Legal Fight-ReaTest of Prin-
cipals Expected Shortly.

The release of John f. Gaynor and
Benjamin d. Greene by Judge Caron at
Quebec has caused no perceptiDle ex-
citement at the Department Of Justice,
Officials in the department now in the
city admit that it came entirely unex-
pected.
Docs this mean the end OF the ef-
fort to extradite Captain Carter's al
legged associstes?" one of the officials
was asked.
BY no means. " was the reply. I'VE
will continue our work undismayed."
Acting Attorney General Beck sent a
telegram to Attorney General Knox at
Beverly, Mass, and another to Solicitor
General Richards at Duxbury, Mass, in
forming them of the result of the pro-
ceedings in Judge Carons court. He
also sent messages to the department S
representatives at QTebec, instructing
them to keep up THEN fight.
In the opinion of the department the
decision of Judge Caron was based on
technicallty and nothing stands in
the way OF ordering Greene and Gay
nor's rearrest. The information in the
case would then be amended so as to
conform with Judge Caron's ruling.

FIGHT MAY BE OFF.
McGovern and Corbett Do Not Expect
to Box in Detroit.

While Billy Consdine, the fight promoter.
says positively that he will pull off the Nc
Govern-Corbett fight in Detroit, followers
of boxing In that city are not enthusiastic
over the prospects for meeting between
the two great featherweights. The fighters
themselves are of the opinion that they
stand little chance Of meeting there. They
have had their confidence shaken In Consi-
dine by the failure of the promoter to put
I'D the 5000 he promised to post as for
felt to guarantee that the bout would be
held. McGovern and Corbett say that II
Considine Is sure he can pull of the battle
he should prove his confidence by posting
the money.
1t now looks as though the men will fight
either In San Francisco or Louisville or not
at all. Sam Harris, manager for Terry Nc
Govern, made this positive announcement
yesterday. Billy Considine wired HarrisA
telling him not to take any stock In the ru-
mors that have been printed, and that he
could positively pull off the contest between
McGovern and Corbett.
The excuse he gives for not posting the
forfeit Is that the clubs articles were not
signed, and that he was waiting to get the
signatures of both men before posting the
forfeit.
In reply Harris telegraphed Considine to
the effect that Governor Bliss of Michigan,
having stated that he would not allow the
contest to take place and notified the sheriff
ris thought 1t best to call the contest off, so
far as Detroit Is concerned. He expects the
fight to take place in Louisville or Frisco
early in the new year. McGovern will re-
main at Mount Clemens until 1t is decided
where the fight will take place.

A CRICKET ASSOCIATION.
Determined Effort to Be Made to Or
paniZe One

It seems settled now that a determined
effort will be made to organize national
cricket association. For several years this
talk has cropped up, but heretofore no ac-
ton has resulted. Mr.. A. E. Rumble of the
Metropolitan Cricket League Of New York
is the latest devotee of the bat and wicket
to attempt the formation Of a national or
international league. 1t looks now as if his
effort might succeed. A series of letters has
been forwarded to all the secretaries of
cricket clubs throughout the country and
Canada asking for suggestions and co-ope-
ration in the attempt to form the associa-
ton, and already replies are beginning to
come, without exception being strongly In
favor of the scheme.
The most popular plan suggested to date
seems to be one proposing to form league
probably to be called the North American
Cricket Association. The governing body.
1t Is proposed. will be board of delegates
elected from a series Of divisions formed to
control the sport in the various sections of
this country and Canada. There will be two
sections or divisions on the Pacific coast.
one in the SOUTH two or more In the central
or Mississippi valley one in the north and
at least two on the Atlantic coast. These,
in addition to the divisions formed in the
Dominion of Canada. will. II the plan sue
ceeds. form the controlling branches of the
league.
The association will assume control of the
game in this country, and, it is limited. will
make some sweeping changes in the playing
rules now governing the game. Local or
division championships will be held, and
| national trophy has been suggested, to be
held by the winners, subject to challenge
from any division championship team after
a years notice.
| If the indications continue to be favorable
a meeting will be held early in the coming
year either in New York or Boston or In
Philadelphia, to consider carefully the SEN
| timent of the various clubs which have been
approached in the matter.

THE SICK AND NOISE.
Discordant and Unnecessary Sounds
That Disturb Cities.
From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
In many instances the courts have been
appealed to by the friends Of the sick to
suppress unnecessary noises In the neigh
borhool-most often the pounding Of
piano by some needless or heartless person.
In no known case has a court interfered.
1t has been held that there is no law under
which a person may be restrained from
doing anything which is allowable in ordi-
nary circumstances, out Of consideration
for the sick. A notable case was that Of a
prominent New York judge who was too ill
to be removed, and who was tort by
the piano playing of a musical neighbor.
When all requests were ignored the judges
physician applied to a court. affirming that
the affection robbed the sick man of his
one chance of recovery, and that he must
die unless the musician could be forced to
restrict her performance. The court ex-
pressed great indignation, but admitted it
was poWerless to interfere.
In Chicago, however, the health depart
ment has not hesitated to do what the
courts have refrained from doing, and that
in the case of business establishment in
which the noise was part Of its necessary
operations A girl of fifteen years, a vic
tim of typhoid fever, was tortured by the
noise of a steam hammer, and her physi-
clan maintained that her recovery was en-
dangered by 1t. An officer of the health de-
partment Investigated the matter, and
under the advice of the corporation counsel
ordered the police to stop the machine,
which they did. 1t Is not known that Chi
cago enjoys any special law on this subject,
and 1t is probable that the health depart
ment simply exercised the arbitrary power
which is held by similar bodies elsewhere.
That there ought to be authority in the
health office to take such action in its dis
cretion is reasonable. Human life Is Of
more Importance than few days id1eness
of an Industrial establishment. 1t Is not to
be supposed that the officers would act
in this way save in the case Of a person too
ill to be removed and where the affection
actually menaced the life of the patient.

TO QUIT THE GAME.
Frank Erne Says That He Will Not
Enter Ring Again

If looks count for anything, Frank Erne,
who has returned to Buffalo from San
Francisco is in prime condition and fit to
meet anything that hobs up in his part
of the pugilistic pond should he care to
do so.
He is apparently none the worse for his
recent defeat at the hands of Jimmy Britt,
and speaks highly of the latter. There
seems to be none of the envious fighter in
Erne's makeup. for he says that Britt is
clever, scientific, courageous fighter. and is
possessed of an almost impenetrable de-
Tense. Erne corroborates the story from
Frisco that he has retired from the ring.
I'm out of the game for good" said he.
Speaking of his recent defeat. the former
fighter said: Britt is entitled to all the
credit He Is a gentleman, as well as
fighter. and is well connected socially. He
Is pugilist for the love of the sport. not
so much because he wants the money ac-
cruing from his battles, and the same
pose the Yosemite Athletic Club, before
which we fought. They are all business
and professional men of standing in the
community, and IL there were more Britts
and more Yosemite clubs pugiiism would
assume higher standard in the world OF
sport.
Britt is intelligent, and If brains count
for anything then he promises to remain
in an exalted position among the white
boxers for many years to come"
DO you think he has a chance to beat
Gans?' was asked.
Il certainly do" replied Erne, quickly.
But he will never fight negro If there's
anybody who can beat Cans, Britt is the
boy who'll do it,
