LOOK Al HE LAKE.
Diners in Chicago Restaurants Over looking Lake Michigan Ask for
 Seats at the Windows.

M t 4
 A New Yorker who is a frequent vis- ftor here says that to ask for a seat overlooking the water has become an unconscious habit with the Chicago restaurant diner. says the Tribune.
 Let him go into hotel or restau- rant on Michigan avenue or one of the high eating places from which 8 view of the lake may be had, and the first thing he does is to ask for 3 table from which he can see the lake. If they are all full he expresses disappointment at having to take one few feet away, and If there are any women in the party they are positively uneasy and feel themselves defrauded If they don't get that location. Nine times out of ten he will telephone to have place by win dow on that side saved for him.
 The funny part of it is,' continued the observer. that after. it Is secured no one in the party ever glances at the water, but all go on with their talking and eating, apparently as oblivious ot the lakes existence, much more so than if they sat on the other side of the room. This, and the fact that the same people go back and forth on Michigan avenue and ride in the Illinois Central trains without speaking of Lake Michi- gan or giving it a glance, make it ap- pear thu. this request which the Chi cago man invariably makes is habit rather than something that adds to his enjoyment of his dinner.'

New York. Jan 5.-The annual meeting of the Eastern Baseball lea que, postponed from week ago, was held in this city yesterday. All most the entire session was taken up by a meeting of the circuit commit tee. The meeting will last two or three days.

There is some question as to whether the Worcester team, which was transferred to Montreal last sen son, will remain in the Canadian city or not, or whether some other city will be taken i'll. The owners of the Richmond, Va, club bid for q fran chise some time ago, but no repre- sentative of the club appeared yester- day.

Bennie Monroe, partner of Robbie Walth0ur, in the middle six day race made $500 in the contest itself and S112.50 the week just closed for exhi- Ditions on the stage. Munroe paid out of his share $25O. According to Nun roe, Walthour paid his expenses up to the time of the race-about S150-- so Walthour cleared $500 on the race itself, $500 extra money, the balance of the $500 after the expenses under taken in training were paid. and, and $112.50 ill the race. Walthour thus cleared $962.50 and Munroe $61250. or $1,575 for the team.
 Baltimore is to have six-day race, starting January 16. Following the race, there will be a considerable sea son of paced racing. The track will be lovated in a new armory, and will be eighe laps to the mile, one of the larg- est indoor tracks ever constructed. This course will be especially construct ed for the use of big motors indoors. Jack Prince will build it. and he aims to put in world record track.

Will Box Six Rounds i'm Phil- adelphia Some Time This MOnfh--Ryan Pre- ferS a Long Fight.

Chicago, III, Jan 5.-Tommy Ryan and Jack O'Brien will meet for six rounds in Philadelphia before the In ternationa club for purse of $5,O00.
 The date will be either January 20 or g week later. the 27th. It did not take very long to decide the matter as the only other offer was for a 20 round fight and this O'Brien will not consider at present. The bout at Philadelphia will go without decis- ion unless there should be knock out.
 O'Brfen said before leaving for the east that physicians have informed him that he has athletic heart,'' n cardiac affection. To fight Ryan 20 rounds he would have to undergo a hard, long siege of training which would affect his vitality.
 Ryan would prefer long fight be fore a club rendering decision, but in view of these circumstances he agreed to meet O'Brien before the Philadelphia club.

HONEST AUSTIN RICE.
 A CLEVER BOXER.

' Of course the New London Day states that Austin Rice got . raw deal on Christmas day, when he lost the decision to Dave Sullivan at Port land. The, statement follows each of Austin's fights in the Day. Rice al- ways wins hands down in the columns Of that paper.-Springield News.
 The Days sporting columns are never intended to be partisan on put gilistic matters particularly and the claim of raw deal to Rice at Port land was suhstantrated by the core spondent of the Boston Globe and the sporting reporter of the Portland Elk press. Rice. it may be added, has always fought on the level, never dis appointing m audience by failing to appear or quibbling over ring details is q good citizen in every respect, a taxpayer in this city and respected in the community. To the crowd of leeches who live on the proceeds of fighters Rice is a dead one and always will he. Rice would fight Sullivan to a finish every week for whole year.-New London Day.

scfenfific Problems.

Some of the problems which Dr. Si- mon Newcomb expects the twentieth century to solve are minute corpuscles which exist around the millions of atoms, which, for example, make up a drop of water; the slight change of the so-called new stars which blaze forth from time to time,' the causes of these outbursts; the possible solution of earth problems from these and other phe- nomena, and the things that M. Curies' radium suggest.

FIGHT TONIGHT
 GARDNER AND HART

Probably the first banner bout of 1904 is that which will be witnessed by members of the Criterion club, Boston, tonight. George Gardner, the light heavyweight who not long ago met Bob Fitzsimmons. is matched against Marvin Hart the Louisville blacksmith, for the main event at the usual club distance. Both men have been training for some time in antici- patton Of a gruelling contest, and should enter the ring fit to fight their best. The Lowell boy seems to be the favorite. and among sports seems to have the call generally. but Hart, with his fierce bulldog style, may prove too much for the clever Lowell boy.
