SPORTING NOTES
Harrison Stops Fiohtina.

Chicago, Dec. 1G.-Mayor Harrison
took steps yesterday to put stop TO
all prize fights and boxing exhibitions
in the city Backed by an opinion from
Corporation Counsel Tolman. he served
notice on all athletic clubs that their
customary boxing bouts must be given
up. He sent the same order and opin-
ION to Chief O'Neill
Maj. Tolman informed the mayor
that under the laws of Illinois it is a
felony for persons to participate in
public or semi-public prize fight or
boxing exhibition, and that, even in ath-
letic clubs where only members are adj
mitted. il is crime to permit persons
to fight or box for a prize or reward.
The clubs which conduct exhibitions
to this ruling are the CHI
cago Athletic association. the Chicago
Riding and Driving club. the Watita
league. the Battery ID club. the Amer
lean. and the Waverly. Mayor Harri-
son was surprised at the scope of the
law revealed. The punishment for vio-
lation of the law involves fines and
for the responsible per-
sons and the revocation of the club
charter.

One of Seasons Events.

One of the notable Theatrical events
If the season is the appearance OF
Thomas Jefferson in RIP Van Wrinkle"
ferson's performance is as charming as
S his famous fathers in the same char
acter. There are few plays that possess
the enduring qualities of RIP Van Win
kle." The name of jefferson has al
most made the famous character of
RIP Van Wrinkle" a classic on the
American stage. Its story is almost as
familiar as household word, but the
rip Van Wrinkle" of Washington Irv-
ing's tale is only a dim shadow COM
pared with the ripe rounding serene hui
mainly of the character as Mr.. Jeffer-
son portrayS it. He has the exquisite
art of bringing out all the lovable quail
tiles of the old vagabond, and making
his audience think his poor, hard-wOrk-
ing wife the sinner. instead of the
graceless Rip. To enjoy the legend of
the Hudson we must view it as we did
the fairy tales of our youth, and not be
too practical and judge it by our stan
lard of morality of today. The wierd
experience of Rip in the mountains,
and the communion he holds with the
COLLINS that are supposed to hold high
revel in the depths of the hills at GER
tain periods. places the character of
Rip on a sort of supernatural pinnacle
and we feel that il is a sort of sacri-
lege to Judge him as we do more prac-
teal mortals.
