vAILsBURG CYCLE RACES.
Election Result Likely to Stop Sunday
 Events.

Election Result Likely to Stop Sunday
 Events.
 Cycle racing at sNailsburg this year is a matter over which there is grave doubt at present. The election there last Tuesday resulted in a, choice of Alexander Maybaum for mayor, and now c. B. Bloemecke, the track lessee, and Fred Voight, the manager of the track, are wondering. what they are going to do.
 The new mayor and MT Bloemecke have been open enemies for years, and it was Bloemecke who ran the cam paign of the candidate for mayor against Mir Maybaum.
 It is considered foregone conclusion that the mayor-elect will either Issue an edict against the Sunday races or will put so high license on the sport as to be prohibitive. With a higher license, but one not too high, the Sum- day racing will be continued, but it will not be started as early as former ly by month that is, not until the last of May
 If the Sunday racing is prevented by an ordinance or prohibitive license fee, it is probable that electric lights will be put in and racing run one night week instead of on Sundays. In fact so likely does it seem that the Sunday races will be barred that the manager already is calculating the cost of light

BASE BALL NEWS.
Waterbury Will Try to Have a Ball
 Team.


 The project of having a baseball team ill this city the coming year has not been abandoned by any means. It looks as though Waterbury will not be in the Connecticut league at the open ing of the season, but it is the best kind of betting to wager that before the season is over the managers will be clamoring for the Brass City to come in and take the place of some one of the teams. In the meantime the work of organizing the independ- ent league will go on. This league will try and compete with the Connecticut league in at least three of the cities and there is no doubt but that success will follow. As the Connecticut league at its last meeting saw fit to transfer the Waterbury franchise, players and ev- erything else, to Holyoke, it will not be one bit surprising to see those play CTS working in the rival league. Wa terbury, Bridgeport and New Haven in the new league can afford to pay just as much money as can the mana gers in the present Connecticut league. Bristol always paid good salaries, as did Danbury and Torrington when they were in the league. Meriden will undoubtedly be in the league before the season has advanced very far and the promoters say they will force the Connecticut league out of the field. They have the money to do 1t, perhaps more money than can be raised in the Connecticut league. 1t will be mer- ry war before the season has advanced very far.

PRIzH BULLDOG DEAD.
Bright's Disease Kills Rodney Stone,

Winner of Many Blue Ribbons.
 Wasted to a skeleton by Bright's dis ease, Rodney Stone, the $5,00O bulldog of Richard Croker, Jr, is dead. For months the dog has been ailing, and experts who saw him so down to his first defeat before Chibiabos at the Westminster Kennel clubs recent show in Madison Square Garden predicted that his end was near. At that time he showed decided falling off in flesh and walked with a limp. He was in even worse condition when shown at the Orange, N. J., show, where he was beaten by Ivel Doctor.
 These two defeats were the only ones ever marked up against Rodney Stone. He was in class by himself when 1n condition, and was said by all to be worth the price paid for him by young Croker, which was the largest on rec ord for one of his breed. Rodney was born in September, 1897, in London, and a few months later won his first blue ribbon at the South London Bull dog club show. From that until he met Chibiabos his career was a contin- ual triumph. and in dog circles Rodney Stone was the talk of two continents.
  immediately shipped him to America. Here Rodney swept the bench shows as clean as he did in England, and sey- eral times it was reported that his owner had been offered handsome profit on his investment for him. In his prime the dog weighed forty-eignt pounds, and when last shown in Madi- son Square Garden was down to forty three. He was several pounds under this weight when taken into the ring in Orange, and gradually wasted away until, broken in health and spirits, ne died.
 The best veterinary surgeons in New York worked to save the champion from the disease, but all their skill was of no avail The disease is rare amona dogs and from the first 1t was seen that Rodney Stone was doomed.

 Jimmy Canavan says all he knows about his connection with polo in Cin- cinnati next season is what he has seen in the papers.
 The Muncie Star wants to know who is going to tie tin can to "Doggle" Bone. F. Gardner of Racine, former ly of Clinton, will undoubtedly make 'fThe Dog uncomfortable at the first meeting = Worcester Spy.
 In referring to Sunny Jim Dan Daly, the Richmond Item says: "He is not hard worker, and is always a disap- podntment to those who like to see bril-. liant playing, but he knows how to make the goals after the other fellows have done the work" "Name your pricep' That was the telegram received by Fred Jean, the Lowell polo player, couple of days ago, and it came from Indianapolis of the Western league. Jean replied by l stating his price, and it is about settled that he is to become member of the Indianapolis aggregation. If Jean re- ceives the figures named in his tele- gram, he will be the highest saIaried of all polo players. The exact figure is not stated, but 1t is understood to be somewhere near the $1OO mark. This means that Jean will receive about $400 for the four weeks playing out the season in the west, if the west ern men want him at his own figure.

Racing at Havana.

NEW ORLEANS, March 12.-Race horse owners who like to pick up a few purses during the long winter months will be delighted with the news just brought here from Havana. It was nothing more nor less than that next winter there will be racing in Havana during the winter months. The scheme has been tried before and failed, chiefly because of the lack of sufficient financial backing. This time there is plenty of money, in sight.

 A battle between Munroe and Shar- key would draw better here than any where else in the country. Montana would undoubtedly turn out in force to witness a Butte miner mix 1t with a man who once had lots of advertis- ing as fighter, and who met all the .good ones of the heavyweight class in the country.
 The negotiations are going on, and If the club is assured that it can bring off the fight the money will instantly be posted with reputable persons
 Lovers of the sport here are anxious that the contest be arranged, and it is doubtful if accommodations for the crowd which would flock to Butte could be furnished on short notice.

Prof Michael Julius Dwyer Wins An-
 other Match.
 Frank Quinn, the Canadian champion wrestler, did not throw M. J. Dwyer three times in an hour at town hall last night. He had to do that to win the $2OO purse. Besides, if Dwyer threw him once, Dwyer won the match, and that Is just what Dwyer did do. Quinn threw Dwyer after hard struggle in thirty-one minutes. After a ten minutes rest they went at It again and in about seventeen minutes Dwyer had the big Canadian In trou- ble. In few seconds he had both of Quinn's shoulders on the floor and had won the match. Quinn protested against the decision of Referee William Burns of this city, in allowing the fall, as he claimed he was off the mat. Dwyer explained that if the wrestlers got off the mat in lock the lock should hold, but if the men got on on their knees they sould be put back. Qulnn gave Dwyer credit of being one Of the best wrestlers he ever met and said there was no man in the world who could throw him three times in an hour. He admitted that he had under taken too hard job, but was ready 10 wrestle Dwyer a straightaway match at any style of wrestling.

 Clarence Bouldin, the Cuban Won- der,' is going to take trip abroad. Bouldin has received an .offer from a club in Liverpool to meet some good 14S-pounder and will accept, provided he is allowed expenses Bouldin Is now after a match with Harvey Par ker and one may be arranged.
 Tn all likelihood Harvey Parker and George Bothner will come together next May. A representative of Bothner had a talk with Parker yesterday and Har- 1 vey said that if the proper induce ments could be made he would give Bothner- another bout. The two have | met on different occasions and their matches were always interesting. l Jim Parr who is matched to meet Dan Mcleod at Buffalo, has received an offer to wrestle Carl Pons of Balti- more before one of the Baltimore clubs. The Frenchman insists on having the contest decided at straight Graeco- Roman style, while Parr wants to tackle Pons at mixed style If arrange ments can be made the match will be decided in two weeks time. There will be side bet of $2O0 on the result.
 Experts who have seen Peter Ban non perform believe that his leg move ment is better than that of any other wrestler in the business, possibly with the exception of George Bothner. Ban non has peculiar way of upsetting his opponents and invariably uses his legs in doing so. The Irish champion said q made a point when took up wrest- ling as profession to develop my legs | I exercise my leg muscles daily and they are just as strong, if not stronger than those of my arms. A wrestler can down an opponent much easier by using his pedal extremities than witt his arms, sometimes. At least Eve found 1t so.'

When the general staff corps is organized
ten or twelve officers of the staff will be on
duty in Washington, while others will be
disposed about the country as conditions
may require. One officer from the STAFF
corps will be detailed to the headquarters
of each OF the military departments to
serve as chief OF stan to the department
commander. Those officers who have been
detailed from staff departments will, on the
expiration of their terms of ONCE. return
to their former duty. The places Of officers
detailed for duty with the staff will be filled
by detail as soon as practicable. The as
signments to the staff corps. therefore, will
necessitate an extensive shifting of officers.
