l. .ALL THE TERR1BLEs.

And still they come-these giant
 The Terrible Turk, the Horrible Greek, the Dynamite Dane. and the Russian Lion beware.
 Jess Pederson, the Human Derrick from Sweden. is oil the way.
 This is the very latest of the gigantic specimens of grappling talent that seem to abound in Europe.
 Pederson was discovered by George Weedon while he and Young Corbett were in London together, anu Wee,.on came home so impressed with the great Swede's prowess that Johnny Gonsidine has negotiated for Pedefson to visit this country under Considine's management and meet all corners.
 PeQerson is 27 years old, 5 feet Il inches taal, weighs 215 pounds, and has never been defeated. He has repeat. edly challenged George Hacken- wrestling championship of the world, but the Russian Lion has never con scented to match.
 Pederson has just completed a long engagement in the London music ha Is, where has has had a standing offer to meet all corners and forfeit $250 to any one who could staps thirtye minutes without being thrown. None have so far won Pedersons forfeit. x
 Considine says that this same offer will be made bS Pederson when he gets here which will Noe within two weeks, No one will be barred, and no notice will be required from prospect i've opponents, no matter what their regulations s
 The principal plan Considine. has is to match PedeFson against Egeberg or Frank Gotch, and he will back the Swede for any amount in a match with either of these two.
 Hackenschm is now in Australia on a tour of the world. and it is the intention of Considine to have Peder- son meet and defeat the best in this country before Hack gets here, so that Pederson will be in line to meet the Invincihle. Russian for the worlds title when he finally gets here

WAR BETWEEN THE
 LEAGUES HI THE WEST

A story from the west says that while managers of both Central and Western Polo leagues are threatening war, no open move has yet been taken by either side Central league mala gers are quietly waiting for some move on the part of the older leag- uers, when they will take q hand i'll the fight All the trouble has come through the transfer of Indianapolis. from the Western to the Central league circuit, with, the action of El- wood d week later in dropping out of the Western league and turning her players over to different clubs of the Central. ss
 For some time the Western leaguers thTeatened to place 3 team in Indian apolis and thus start the war in the capital city, but this move seems to have been abandoned. Whether the Western league men could not get players enough for the new team < or feared clash with the (ientralites Is not known, but the annapolis pro ject looks like only a rumor. 1t Is known that good wages were offered several Central league stars by tho Westerners in an effort to get them to jump contracts. but so far all these efforts have proved unavailing.
 K Marion made decided effort to se- cure Jason from Fort Wayne, but the great rusher is satisfied with his pres ant position. Campbell of Danytne was sought to head the new team m Indianapolis. and Roberts. now with Kokomo. but a former ElWo0d star, was wanted for the same place.
 1ey1e S1eso 1ao3 ttTlf0lrai1sS Pierce and Bannon. two of last years team of 9Indians : X who refused to go west. could be secured for the reorgan- ization of the Westerners at Indian apolis. It is the general belief among the players that the life of polo fn the Western league is now ebbing and they are rather anxious to climb over into the Central.
 The action of several of the West ern league people in attempting to sign Central league players now up- der contract has stirred the Central managers. They claim that the policy of 'wildcatting' will only work against those who start it, as the younger league believes it is able % offer better money for players tnan the Western. Marion claims that Me Gilyray of the Indianapolis Central league team Is It's property by right, and Manager Fox declares that he will fight for him.
 Richmond makes tie same assertion with regard to Roberts, who was re- leased by Elwood to Ixokorno. It is probable that if any more offers are made Central league stars by any man. agement in the Western league war In earNnst will be declared
 Wide gaps still separate the Central league teams in the percentage col umn DanyiIie, Terre Haute5 and Fort Wayne are fighting hard for first place, each club holding the honor Tor only "a short time until # has to give way to the other. Danville, after q weeks. losing streak, has braced Up and is again winning games. Terre Hapte has hit the toboggan right 7 and will probably not figure in the fight for first place for some time to come at least.

PENALT IMPOSED ON
 THE OUTLAW RIDERS

R. F'. Kelsey, chairman of the board of control of the National Cycling association, sent out word from Boston yesterday that, after a careful consideration of the matter, the board of control had decided not to wait until the annual meeting Of the association ifi February. but to act at once on the cases Of the riders who rebelled from the decision Of the referee during the six day race in Madison Square Garden and went on ''strike.' The. punishment decided upon for the several men is as fol lows:
 Walthour and Moran, suspension for one year; Bowler and Maya; sus- pension for six months: Mclean, sus- pension for six months or a fine of $1O0; Butler, suspension for SIX months or fine of $50; John Bedell, Menus Bedell, Newkirk and Monroe, suspension for six months, or q. fine of $50
 In the eases of Walthour and Mo- ran, who were considered the ring leaders, and also those of Maya and Bowler, no alternative of fine is Of fered. The decision rules Walthour of the track for the whole season, and this may mean the end of his ca reer as rider, for when he left New York WaIthour said if he got a long suspension he would accept q chance that he had togo into business in At lanta. After year in business he could hardly be n star rider again.
 -------
 The riders suspended at the six-tlav bicycle race by the National Cyclinc association did not secure reinstate, iment and have been compelled to give '1p their engagements with John &. Prince. who is promoting race events 9t Buffalo, Lansingburg, Albany. Ona- ha. Kansas City, St Louis and Raltt, more. and also at Chicago, where n six-day, race is to be held in February.
 The N. c. A. positively refused to listen to the pleadings of the suspend ed riders, and Prince secured Frank Caldwell. Gussie Lawson, Harry CaId- we'll, Nat Hopper and two others to follow pace at his meetings. Moran. Mclean and others who made con, tracts to race in France believing that the suspension would be lifted, are now in the dumps because they cannot carry out these compacts.
 Robbie Walthour was alleged yester- day to have left for Atlanta, leaving a lot of sorrowing trainers behind Nun roe. his team mate, who remains in New York. said yesterday that it was the business of Walthour to pay the trainers of the team. and that under his arrangement with Walthour this money was to have come from that rider.

One punch sent Don- ahne eto his knees. 1t was delivered low and Donahue's seconds claimed a foul, but the referee would not allow it. Domaine stayed down till nine seconds were counted and when he arose he appeared to be in great pain and, one of his seconds asked for a doctor.

GOOD STATE FOR FRUIT.

The people Of Mississippi are just
learning that their soil is exceptionally
adapted for fruit growing, especially
peaches Many OF the farmers who
heretofore cultivated all OF their land in
cotton and corn, put aside.a few acres
this year TO experiment with peach grow
ing and learned that there was consider
able profit in it, 1t is expected that
hundreds and hundreds Of acres will be
used for this purpose next year. What
may be taken as good example to show
that fruit growing is to become more
popular in this State is the result OF a
recent meeting of the Farmers Club of
Attala county. Most OF the members
promised to plant certain number of
Elberta peach trees next season, the
total number amounting to nearly one
thousand trees.

BOUNDARY CASE IS NEARLY
ENDED.

Ex-Attorney General Monroe Nc
Clurg states that the taking of testi-
mony in the Mississippi Louisiana
boundary case has been concluded. The
evidence is now being systematically ar
ranged, after which it will be submitted
to the court. An early and favorable
verdict is expected.
Mr.. McClurg has spent great deal of
time and labor in this case, which in =
wolves oyster reefs valued at several
million dollars. Louisiana has contested
every inch OF the ground and the best
legatPlent in the country has been in
vol in the case.
The claim was set up by Louisiana
that the deep water channel had always
been recognized as the boundary be-
tween the two States, and a great deal
OF oral testimony was introduced to sub
stantiate this theory. In looking through
the acts OF the Mississippi Legislature,
Mr.. McClurg discovered where priyi-
lege had been granted on request Of the
National Government for the erection of
a light house on Half-Moon Island.
Tnis Island is in the disputed territory,
and the fact that the Government asked
Mississippi for this privilege is strong
evidence to the effect that the officials at
Washington regarded it at that time as
Mississippi territory,
Mr.. McClurg is confident that Missis-
sippi will win the case.
