ALBANY, N. Y. April 2s.- Governor Odell signalized his return from his vacation by signing nearly 100 bills, including those of MT. Curry. remov ing the limitation upon the number of patrolmen who can be added to the New York police force so as to permit the installation of the three platoon system; MT. Miller, authorizing in crease of the pension of John J. Me Kenna, the New York policeman in jured in the pitched battle with the negro Jerry Hunter.

Bostwick, making it misdemeanor for any person to mis- represent in any advertisement any thing with reference to the quality or price of any merchandise offered for sale.

LUXE DORSEY RELEASED.

Holyoke, April 2S.-The champions rested yesterday and framed up good resolutions Rube Eickers declared that the Ponies would have to go mighty fast in the opening game to- day i'll Springfield to escape him. Nickers is in splendid condition for hard work and is as willing as ever. He has filed request to be allowed to take turns against the Ponies in both opening games, that in Spring field and the big event here Saturday
 Releases we're doled out yesterday to Harry Reinhold and Luke Dorsey. Dorsey had an opportunity to show his worth. but it has been apparent for many days that his speed was slow in making a return. Dorsey'S long 1ay-off from the game and the fact that he isn't as youthful as some of the regulars, caused him to make a decided failure of the outfielding eff fort.
 F, H. Prindiyille. who has been dt- recting affairs, says that Bertwhistle has earned a place as regular and this will cause Dorsey's departure to be considered anything but q misfor- tune Reinhold hasn't been able to throw. the aff1iction being especially severe in recent trials at the third cor ner Reinhold lives in Philadelphia and he will have chance to play in dependent baseball in and around his home when the weather thaws out the weak arm

EAST SIDE BOLTS

Cherry street, in the vicinity of James Slip, was in it's glory last night and despite the inclement weather most of the men of that neighborhood seemed to be centered at S2, where the Hamilton athletic club gave its dn- nual spring stag. This organization is very popular on the East side and has a large membership. Last night all of the prominent celebrities of the differ- ent boroughs went to the small club house to enjoy themselves and have a gala time. The program. which was long one, kept the crowd in excellent humor until q late hour Charley liar. yey acted as master of ceremonies and introduced a number of clever boxers who entertained those present with fast and exciting bouts. Among the pugilists who appeared were Eddie Cain of Brooklyn, dewey Cooke of England, Billy Hamilton. Johnny Kea- gan of Brooklyn and Kid Murphy. the IOo-pound champion. The appearance of Reagan was the signal for great ap- plause. It is the first time in many years that he has had on the gloves. Reagan showed up in fine shape and convinced his friends that despite his long absence from the ring he is still good.

PITCHERS MIST WORK.

Pittsburg, April 2S.-Before leaving for St Louis last night Stanley Robi- son, vice-president and secretary of the St Louis club, declared himself en- phatically against the practices in the National league, the principal one being the declination of managers to name pitchers for the following days. Manager Nichols last night said tha< he could not name the pitcher for to- days game with Cincinnati at St Louis. Robson said: ''This thing must stop. or I will quit the St Louis club. It is pure nonsense for q team to Wit old the name of the pitcher of the days game. It's nonsense to say that a man must warm up to see whether he can pitch ball or not that day. He is paid for pitching, and he is paid for being ill shape-let him look to that or reckon with Us. In this iu- stance we have three stars, Nichols Taylor and Corbett 1t is only right that we submit in the morning to our patrons the name of the man who will pitch that day. also the name of the
 man who will pitch tomorrow or the day following. It is then up to us to deliver the goods we advertise and np to the pitchers to produce them for their employers or go.

FOOTBALL.
NEW RULES TO GOVERN
 THE GAME THIS SEASON.

No changes were finally agreed on at the recent meeting of the football rules committee, but several practia -cally were adopted. to be confirmed at a meeting i'll May The most import ant change is that four men in addi- tion to the quarterback may play be- hind the line. When this is done one of the five backs must play out side, either end of the line. It was found last year that with seven men in the line premium was put on heavy backs in offensive work. The new order of things. with the forma- ton it permits, is expetced to make light backs more useful
 A sensible change is that of redIlc- ing the value of a field goal from five to four points, so that q field goal now is not worth as much as a touch down. As to the quarterback run it is now permissible in any part of tbe field, provided the quarterback runs five yards to the side from the snapper back. Penalties for violations requiring a distance penalty will be limited to five and fifteen yards.
 Tn order that the umpire may be distinguished from the referee the um- pire is to use a bell or horn instead of a whistle. If in long run foul is committed the run is to be allowed, if the foul ill no way interferes with the progress of the runner. Any de liberate attempt to draw an opponent offside is to be considered as delaying the game and penalized five yards.
 On interference with a fair catch the offended side may have fifteen yards and put the ball in play from q scrimmage, or have five yards and a free kick. Another change provides that when team is forced to bring the ball out from a touchback or safe ty and the ball is twice kicked out of bounds, opponents must put it in play from the 35-yard line instead of the 25-yard line, as formerly. On q punt out after touchdown the opposing team must stand not closer than if teen yards to the punter

STATE LEAGUE
 OPENS TO-DAY.
All the Teams in Readiness If Weather Permits Re. suits of Games Played Yesterday Other Notes.

The eighth championship season of the Connecticut league opens to-day, if the weather is favorable, and of the clubs that originally belonged to it when it started in 1897, Meriden and Bridgeport are the only two left.
 Since that time the towns that have been ill and dropped out are Derby, Bristol, Danbury, New Britain, Nor wich and Waterbury.
 The league now has three 4Massachu- setts and five Connecticut cities, and is more pretentious than ever.
 It starts off with bright prospects this year. though expenses are more than double what they were in 1897.
 The only club about which little is known this year is New Haven, though that team may have some surprises up it's sleeve. Worcester, Springfield and Hartford are unquestionably stronger than last year, when the Norwich, whose place Worcester takes, was i'll.
 HolyoIe does not look quite as strong, nor does New London nor Mer- iden.
 New Haven may be put for the pres ent in the same class, while Bridgeport is about the same, being strengthened by Beaumont and weakened by the loss of Phil Corcoran.

The Buried Treasure Found.

NEW YORK, April 2S.--Gerard Gov entry of this city bought the old Hud- son farm at Wading River, and was making the necessary repairs. When an old fashioned hearthstone in the parlor was raised, beneath it, gray with age and covered with cobwebs. reposed an old wallet. Uncle Ben" Hudson, relative of the former own CT of the farm, was in ecstasy. He had been lowering around the place ever since the repairs began, saying frequently that he believed his brother had hidden away a right smart bit of money about the place. He bothered the workmen and MT. Coventry so much that it was determined not to disappoint him. "So,' said MT. Gov entry, .'I got an old wallet, covered it with cobwebs, filled it with imitation money and papers and planted it under the hearth. Then I let the workmen find it when Uncle Ben was around. It would have done you good to have seen the old man, and Wading River we'll don't want to go down there for a few days at least"

It is al- legged that but $25 has been turned in to the newspaper in question. Mrs. Speck and Mrs. Updyke were both in court, but only the latter is under ar rest,

Since then. although only in light training, be has gradually improved in his work and has already beaten his high school record of 45 feet six inches. On February 20, before the varsity trial meet, he made A feet. and at that was handicapped by the low ceiling, which he several times hit On March at the varsity track meet, he broke the intercollegiate record of 4d feet with put of 46 feet 1 E inches A week later, in the dual meet,against the First regiment of Chicago, he established new indoor American record with 47 feet 61a inches On March 19, in the meet between the Michigan freshmen and De- troit University high school, he put the IF pound shot 56 feet 3h inches, break ing the worlds record of 55 feet two inch- es, made by c. R. Gray, of the New York Athletic club, at Travers island on June

On April he tried his hand at throwing the 16-pound hammer, and suc- ceeded in hurling it 166 feet five inches. which IS nearly 30 feet better than the western intercollegiate conference rec ord, and within five feet Sour inches of the worlds record, held by John Flana- gan, of New York All of these per- formances have been made with but little training. With the exception of hints given him by Fitzpatrick Rose is prac- tically self-taught. At the age of IA years he began practice with the shot. and his style is quite original. Up to the time of coming to Michigan he had not had 8 days coaching. Rose performed creditably in track events while at high school, and it is said he has beaten in practice most of the figures made by Ellery H. Clark when he won the all around athletic championships last year. He is reported to be fast in the sprints and hurdles and clever pole yaulter.
