distressed. The pangs of hunger were gnawing both, and Le Blanc sought con- solation in counting his beads and pray ing. He was thus occupied when Jacques suddenly cooked his ears, ran to the door and scratched. Then he ran back, looked up in his masters face and showed great excitement. Le Blanc had reared the Newfoundland from a puppy and knew that he had some good reason for wanting to go out. So he opened the door.
 The dog shot through the portal and the next minute Le Blanc heard him in spirited altercation with his friend. the cat In bolted Jacques, carrying q, squirrel in his mouth and proudly wag- ging his tail. Behind him came the cat in a great state of mind. The dog held his head high in the air and dropped the squirrel on Le Blanc's couch.

Bresnahan occupied the three-quarter sack and so distinguished himself in the managers estimation that Little Mae announced his satisfaction that Roger will fill Lauder's shoes admirably. It was ideal weather for practice, warm and sunny. McGraw believes in going through the formality of playing games in spring training because it maintains lively interest in the work, even with their sore muscles, which need to be kept active. The players seem to forget their soreness in the excitement of these short scrub con- tests. During both the morning and afternoon sessions, five innings are played between the regulars and Yan- nigans. PitcAer Ames will report at Birmingham next Monday, McGraw having wired him to go there instead of coming here. The first full game will be played on Saturday.

RAGING.
THE WHITE BOY GETS
 THE CHEERS THIS TIME.

New Orleans, March 11.-Accord- ing to the majority of the crowd pres ent, the judges of the Crescent City Jockey. club made glaring error yes terday afternoon in placing the horses in the fifth race. La Canoe, who finished ninth, was placed third, while Anti Trust and Gov Boyd, who finished noses apart, were overlooked entirely. In the press stand Gov Boyd was called third by a nose on the post.
 A popular demonstration took place after the running of the first race, in which Jockey Fuller outrode Hicks. Fuller managed to get home with Scotch Thistle neck in front of Rainland, the favorite at the prohibit i've odds of 1 to 5. It showed that the color line was drawn as closely on the local racecourse in this city as in any other line of business. For fully five minutes every one stood up and ap- plauded Fuller, who rode a grand race on Scotch Thistle, a half brother to Irish Lad, who up to his victory this afternoon was a maiden. /
 Nose Goldblatt, the owner of Rain land, said that he was satisfied with eue IdCe HICKS put up duu Sdiu that the son of Rainbow would start in the Derby and that it would take pretty good horse to beat him on Saturday.
 The Bush Cup handicap sweep stakes caused another track record to go by the board. Curate, one of the outsiders in the betting and gelding who has performed in cross country events, won. The fact that the Bush, at two miles and 8 quarter, was to be decided, brought out large crowd, packed the grand stand. Of the fifty eight nominations for the race only five accepted the issue. Major Mansir, second choice in, the open betting, was backed to favorit- ism, being played from ? to 1 to z to 5, while Thorneycroft, the opening choice, advanced from to to 9 to ,. Citrate was played from hines to s to 1. Gin Spray led on suffrance until Helgerson let Curate down, and from there home he galloped, winning easilyv5by three lengths. Major Man sir, the favorite, was in last position for the best portion of the race, but when let down made a game bid in the stretch to overtake Curate, but to no avail. The race was the best at it's distance that has ever been run here.

TERRY HAS HOPES.

Little Terry McGovern. the erstwhile f'Terrible Terry, still has hopes of hgain wearing the feather. He be- Eieves-and his manager, Sam Harris, believes it with him-that he sees the Championship within his grasp once Rnore. He has planned to meet either
 Abe Attel1 Or Benny Yanger, two clever f featherweights. Attell is now consid- bred by many as the legitimate feath- erweight champion, as it is well known that Corbett can no longer make the
 weight. When Attell fought Harr
 Forbes it was understood that the
 Championship went to the winner. By defeating Attell and Yanger, McGov- brn believes he would earn the claim to the championship as he can easily make the featherweight limit. Al Though sanguine that he can dispose of hny of the featherweights now before fhe public, it is his one desire to get pne more cnance at his .conqueror,
 Young Corbett. By meeting Corbett,
 McGoyern says that he realizes that he would be going out of his class, but i hat Corbett is the only man that he would agree to meet on such terms. He says he will agree to fight Corbett bt 13O pounds if he yer gets the 5.hance. Speaking of his plans, Terry kaid: My next fight will be in the kummer with either Attell or Benny Ranger, who are both top-notch feath- frweights. T. have received offers to light Eddie Hanlon, but I have de- flined them. because Hanlon cannot make my weight, which is 127 pounds. With Corbett will agree to any req Eonable weight. I still believe that I han turn the tables on the champion, hnd I am anxious to get just one more
 chance at him ill the ring"

three parts. One-third went to Jacques, another to himself and the remaining portion to the cat. {
 The cat soon went on a second forag- ing expedition. A little later Jacques sneaked after her, picked up her trail and hung around for developments. Two hours later he reappeared carrying a young rabbit and followed by the in- dignant cat. The next day she got two squirrels and an old cock grouse The catch was duly rescued by Jacques and presented to his master.
 For eight days this programme was repeated, while the trapper's foot grew worse, matterated and finally began to mend. He, the cat and the dog got thin, but they had some strength left on the eighth day when Bossart, who had im- proved more rapidly than was antici- pated, arrived drawing toboggan load ed with provender

A Syndicate Will Buy New
 Haven Franchise.-Frank
 Donahue Not Yet Signed -IntereStinG Notes.

New Haven, March 11.-As was stated few days ago, the New Haven base ball franchise, which was sold to c. J. Danaher of Meriden, will un- doubtedly be disposed of to local syndicate, headed by James E. Mc- Gam. The members of the syndicate, in which are said to be the Uullmans, are now negotiating for grounds at Savin Rock. It is the intention of the syndicate to purchase the grounds, not lease them, as most of the club owners have been doing late years. The ne gotfations for property at Savin Rock are now nearly completed, and it is hoped to have the deal settled by the first of the coming week. In regard to the securing of the franchise by the local syndicate, Mir McGann will have discussion of the matter with MT Danaher to-day. The outcome of this conference will probably be the trans fer Of the franchise to the local synd1- cate. The question of the captain manager of the team has not been set tied, but it is understood that over lures have been made to Michael J. Doherty of the police force, and Las had several offers from the National league clubs the past season. He for merly played the game in this city, and many of the fans would like to see him back again.

DOG AND CAT FEED WOUNDED TRAPPER IN CANADA WOODS.
Canine Takes Prey from Fuss and Car ries It to His Crippled Master Story Touched For by Par
 ish Priest.

An odd story of how cat and dog provided food for solitary trapper who had been injured by one of his own traps was brought to Montreal few days ago by Rev. Father Dufriche on his return from the Hudson Bay territory. Father Dufriche got the tale from another priest, known as Pere Martin, who had personal knowledge of the incident.
 According to Father Dufriche's story, Henri Le Blanc left the Lake St. John region late in the fall to trap with a kindred spirit named Bossart about 150 miles northwest of the lake on the edge of the Hudson Bay district. Bossart had cabin miles from any other habita- tion, where he lived with 8 tabby cat for a companion and mascot. It has been Le Blanc's custom to spend sev- eral months each winter with Bossart, and this year as usual he took his New foundland dog, Jacques, with him. The dog and cat were on the most friendly terms and the quartette enjoyed them selves until early in December, when Bossart fell ill.,.
 The trapper was afflicted with slow
 
 nearest village, 40 miles distant, to con- suit Father Martin, who administers to the temporal as we'll as to the spiritual wants of his isolated parishioners. The priest advised the trapper to remain in the village for a couple of weeks until he had regained his full strength, and this he did, sending word to Le Blanc by half-breed Indian who was journey ing north.
 The day after receiving the message from the Indian Le Blanc left the cabin to shoot deer for food and had the misfortune to step in snow-covered wolf trap that he had set several weeks before and subsequently, lost. The teeth Iacerated his left foot and ankle and it was with great difficulty that he reached camp. Here he dressed the in- jury the best he could, but red socks he had worn poisoned the wound and the next day he could not take step. There was little to eat in the house and Le Blanc was soon in desperate condition. Bossart was to bring meal and bacon, and with fresh meat brought down by rifles this would be adequate. But with the pantry bare and his foot getting worse every hour the trapper had good look at starvation. Jacques he says, made no fuss. but the cat how1eu all night and in the morning he crawled to the door and let it out.
 The woods were full of red squirrels and chipmunks and he knew that the animal could look after itself. Jacques kept close to his master until noon. Licking bis hand and anpearipg greatly

PRINCETON, N. J., March II. - Princeton easily defeated Cornell in a basket ball game last night by the score of 50 to 16. The game was rath- CT loosely played, and the team work on both sides was poor. Inaccuracy in shooting accounted principally for the visitors defeat.
