WRESTLING. FEELS
 VERY SORE
He Would Like to Try The Little Jap Once More Good Things For Police men to Learn.
A fax has a headache to-lay.

Ajax has headache to-day.
 Ajax is the strong man of the police department, who went against Higas- hi, the Jap, in the police headquarters room, just to find out if the jiu-jitsu was really working.
 It was an exhibition of skill, and Ajax freely admits that he was too slow for the jiu-jitsu.
 "A little man like that" said Ajax, yesterday, looked cinch for me, but before I knew it I was down and out Then the next thing, I was tickled in the ribs by this Jap, and came back to earth fightin. But I've got to give it to this little fellow for his pluck, and of course it's all science.
 Say, it would be a fine thing for the department. It would simply cut out the night stick entirely. And then what use would there be for patrol wagons with this thing in good work ing order? All you got to dois to use q little science, yank 'em on down to the station, then tickle 'em in the ribs i'll time to talk to the sergeant"
 Ajax intends to learn the game, and with this in vieW he will do little practicing with his fellows in the de- partment.
 You know, it is possible to kill 8 man with this Japanese notion, and we might as we'll know something about it. All I want is a fair show This science is all right, and if get a few bones broken in resisting the Jap next time meet him I'll have some left to make use of in my business. . The test at police headquarters was the talk of the fraternity yesterday Ajax Whiteman was generally regard ed as more or less foolish hero, but none denied the power of the jiu-jitsu, and the police department, on Ajax's saying, may yet find night sticks and patrol wagons useless.

HYDE PEITZ MAD.

Cincinnati was playing us nip and tuck game one day when was with the Chicago Nationals says Billy Bradley. s'In the ninth inning. with the score 3 to in our favor, the Reds, with two out, got man around to third. The Cincinnati cap tain then sent in Heiny Peitz to hit in place of the regular batter.
 Tom Loftus, who was then, Chi cago's manager, began to laugh with all his might. He roared and shrieked until he attracted the attention of ev- erybody players, spectators and urn- piFe.
 : What is it, Tom?' someone asked.
 sOh, that is too funny shouted Loftus, sending upv-a Dutchman to bat ill an emergency
 Then we all saw Tomss game. His remark made Peitz so mad that he struck out on three pitched bal1s.:

BASKET BALL.
READY FOR THE GAME

 CONNECTICUT LEAGUES DEMISE
 The expected has come to pass in the case of the Connecticut Basketball league in which several former IWes- tern Massachusetts players were hold ing places. The league is now part of ancient history. and the, players are looking for berths in other places. Several of them expect to land in the New England Basketball association It is said that every manager in the Connecticut league was loser fnan- cially. A feature that did much to kill the game in the Nutmeg State was the introduction of the half point system 1n. scoring.
 This system was tried in the Wes- tern Massachusetts league by lot of men with good intentionss The Con necticut league managers were ad- vised against it, but like the mana gers who were at the helm here, they knew many things about basketball that were not so.
 Jimmie Doran of Holyoke, who has been playing in the Connecticut league is expected to accept an offer with Lowell. Manager J. J. Gray of Low ell has sent him notice to report and it is likely that several of the others will also go to Eastern New England Jack Fox, the former Holyoke captain, is forrest in Florida for time so that an injured knee may get into shape for the baseball season.

WILLIAMS oUTPOINTs BUTLER

WILLIAMS OUTPOINTS BUTLER.
 The large crowd that attended the bouts at the Broadway A. C., Phila- delphia, last Thursday night, was treated to surprise, especially in the six round bout between Jack Butler of New York and Jack Williams of Philadelphia Butler was looked upon as having a fine chance of beating his man, but his showing was lamentaDly poor. The fight was a lively one, nev- ertheless, but Butler acted on the de7 fensive most of the time and Wihiams punched him at will. Toward the close Butler made an attempt to bore in, but was neatly repulsed. Butler staggered Williams in the fourth, put was sent gruBgy himself with a couple of hard ones on the ribs. Had there been a decision Williams undoubtedly would have received it.

A large crowd was on hand, and not to disappolnt them the fighters agreed to go to q roadhouse in the town of, Rockport and settle their grievances there, They met for fifteen. rounds at caUch- weights. The mill was hummer and more than compensated the sports for the extra journey Sawyer did some clever footwork, but when it came to real stiff punching he was not in it.. The combat went the limit and ritz simmons received the decision The verdict, hoWsyer, was only gained by a narrow margin.

Spike Shannon's debut into profes- sional baseball was in a game be- tween Indianapolis and Milwaukee. shannon was at first only spectator. Tn the second inning the Hoosiers shortstop was hurt. Manager Watkins offered $10 to any amateur who wound take the disabled players place. @
 My pals nudged me and I decided to go out and get that X-spot," says Shannon. s'I'd never owned one up to that time. When I got nicely located I glanced accidentally up into the grandstand and when I saw that seq of faces shining in my direction i wished/I was at home playing with my dog. About this hour ball that looked like pea came shooting down. my way at the rate of something like 80 miles an hour. made a blind Iunge in the right direction and the next I remember Of seeing was the runner walking back to his seat. Say the grandstand and bleaehers howled like wolves. During the rest of the game I made three hits- two with my bat and one with Watkins.

 A silk handkerchief, spotlessly white and neatly tucked in the breast pocket of his uniform, was as i1lvari- ably part of John Clarkson's uni form when he wentN into the pitchers $ box as were his cap and shoes.
 On a sultry afternoon, when he was playing in Pittsburg, a big, red-faced, slouchy appearing batter came up to the plate, AS Clarkson drew his im- maculatef handkerchief from his DOCK ct and rubbed the moisture from his eyes, the batter called out:
 What department store do you clerk in?"
 Clarkson's answer was his famous slow teaser, at which the batter made futile lunge
 Again the Handkerchief was out 1n play and this time Clarkson wound an inshoot around the batters neck
 Two strikes" yelled the umpire.
 The big batter was furious. He drew his moisture-Iadem sleeve across his eyes and squared off for the next one.
 Clarkson for the third time touched the handkerchief, lightly to his eyes, his pocket, and then shot swift one into Zimmer's hands.
 Three strikes the umpire howled
 'sYou might try the handkerchief plan" remarked Clarkson soothingIy as the batter flung his stick toward the bench. its ever so much better than your shirtsleeves for brightenlng up your batting eye''

THE DIAMOND.
GOSSIP ABOUT THE
 TEAMS AND PLAYERS

Manager Frysinger of the Holyoke Baseball team evidently does not in tend to let the grass grow under his feet, and he is signing players in hope of getting team that can beat Springfield Word has beehs received in Hotyoke that he has signed Red Farrell for the Outfeld. Farrell play ed last season with the Harrisburg team and is said to be a good sticker as we'll as fielder.
 The loss of Rossman, who will play in the west, makes it necessary for Manager Frysinger to strengthen this department. It is said that the deal mentioned several days ago has al- ready gone through, whereby LarKin of Meriden goes to Holyoke in ex- change for NIcAndrews.
 Early in the new year Manager Fry singer will take a trip through Penn sylvania looking for talent and so more additions may be expected soon.

DID PADUCAH GIRL
CAUSE HIM TO FALL
Young Russian i'm Jail at Gin
cinnati for Stealing.
Robbed His Own Sister to Marry
His Sweetheart Living Near
Paducah.
CAUGHT IN NEW YORK CITY

Somewhere in this vicinity there ia
doubtless q grieving girl wondering
why she has hoard nothing from her
nanoe. At Cincinnati in Jail is q
young Russian who will probably not
see. his sweetheart for many day;
because to marry her he robbed his
own sister and was caught. He must
now pay the penalty.
The Cincinnati Post thus tells the
story:
To raise money to buy presents and
prepare for his marriage to pretty
girl living near Paducah, Ky,
Charles Zaleson, a young Russian,
who has been IN this country about 20
years, came all the way from New
York and robbed his sister, Mrs.
Francis Soheinesohn, of upper Elm
street. This is the claim of the pris-
oner, who was brought back from
New York by Detective jackson Wed.
nesdsy night and who was srrsigned
before Squire Winkler Thursday.
Zaleson has not seen his sister for
/ 8 years, and two months ago he came
to Cincinnati on visit and saw about
$500 worth of jewelry it was easy for
him to steal. He pswned the jewels
on Vine street and fed. Under the
alias of Charleson, he said, he had in.
tended remaining in New York until
the matter blew over. and then he was
going to Paducsh to claim the girl
who was to be his wife. She is Q Rus.
sian, too, and they lived IN the old
country. Zsleson would not tell who
she is.
While in hiding he was captured
and made fight against returning to
Cincinnati. He strenuously denied
the theft at first, but after getting on
the train he unfolded to jackson the
little romance as he confessed his
guilt. Zaleson was srrsigned before
Squire Winkler Thursday.

OLLIE JAMES FOR BRYAN.

Congressman Ollie James of Ken
lucky delivered an impromptu speech
in the lobby of the Planters hotsl bit
terly attacking Judge Alton b. Parker
for repudiating the Democratic plat
form and clsmoring for Bryan's lead
ership. The big 6-foot congressman
declared that Bryan was stronger than
ever before in his life, and rising to
his full height, waving his hat above
his bald head, he demanded that the
banner again DO placed in the hands
OF odd man Bryan"
A number of Kentucky delegates
gathered about their congressman and
loudly oheered every word that fell
from his lips. "if Parker did not
know the kind of platform that would
probably be adopted" Mr.. James con-
tinued. che should have had sense
enough to have informed himself
through the public prints, and If he
did not have sense enough to do that,

There were few important cases in
police court today.
Enoch Harlan was fined 81 and
costs for breach Of the peace. James
RIOS, was..hned sio for sleeping in box
car, and Tom CLARK $40 for a breach of
the peace.
Pearl BAYS, Myrtle Harrington and
LottiO Jacobs were fined s5 and costs
each for a m utual fight, and Mat No
Kinney for . breach OF the peace, drew
O. and costs. George Smith, for be-
ing drunk aud disorderly, was fined 81
and costs, and Ed Hayes charged with
making false statement in hiring a
buggy, was granted continuance
until Wednesday.

his New York delegation ought to
have had sense enough to have in
formed him. We made that platform,
and If there 10 any man who does not
care to stand on it, say let him get
Off id quick"
Some one suggested that Judge Par
ker was swimming while the platform
was being discussed, and, consequent
", could not know its probable pur-
port, whereupon the big Kentucky
congressman yelled at the top of his
voice: Oh him, If that's the
reason. he ought to 90 and take an
other bath he's dirty yet. David Hill
spent sixteen hours in preparing that
platform, and for Parker to repudiate
1t at this late hour is simply folly,
and I am in favor of putting the old
banner in Bryan's hands.
