The Question Was Rude.

An Oklahoma paper prints this
story: She was from Boston, he from
Oklahoma. "You have travelled q
good deal in the west, have you not,
Miss Beacop?" ooh, yes, indeed-in
California and Arizona and even IN
New Mexico" Did you ever see the
Cherokee Strip" There was pain
fu] silence, but finally she looked over
her glasses at him and said: In the
first place, sir, l deem your question
exceedingly rude. and. in the second,
you might have been more refined IN
your language by asking me If hao
aver seep the Cherokee disrobe."

Jack O'Brien of Philadelphia has Announced that he will meet Jim Cor zDett some time next fall in twenty 5round bout at San Francisco. O,Brien
 llad long talk with the ex-chainpion
 m St Louis the other day and Corbett promised O'Bien fight. Corbett zsaid that the reason he did not bind =a contest before that was because his theatrical dates would take all his time up to the latter part of July. 11O' Brien and Corbett, in the opinion of 3those who follow the doings of fight zers, ought to put up grand battle EFhey are clever and even the dispar- 3ify of weight between them should be
 no handicap to the Quaker because sDBrien has youth and strength in his
 fayor. There are many who believe that the receipts will come pretty near Ewhat Jeffries and Corbett drew last Summer. Fftzsimmons, by the way, is after a fmill with O'Brien and offers to box Ifhe Philadelphian at Philadelphia in ka six round bout next month if neces- [sary. F'itz is doing light work daily Zand he expects to be in good fighting trim soon.

WRESTLING. DECIDE MATCH
 ON POINTS.
So Says a New York Sport ing Authority Wrestler Goes Insane..The Game
 is Killed in Manchester

A New York sporting writer has
 the following to say about decisions in wrestling contests: Let them
 wrestle for sa fall, and if neither can gain one in the stipulated time, then have points to decide the contest, just as a boxing bout is decided when both men are on their feet at the end of the stated number of rounds. And these points might follow pretty closely those which govern boxing un- der Marquis of Queensberry rules. Aggressiveness ought to count first. The man who is on top most of the time trying for fall, who is doing the work ought to have first consid- eration i'll receiving the verdict. The nearer one comes to getting the other fellows shoulders to the mat, the greater number of times this occurs, the most effective holds and locks ob- tained and the form shown in wrest- ling would, make points from which to reach decision. Defense ought also to come in for its share of considera- tion. The cleverness with which holds are broken, the skill with which one wriggles out of danger and the foiling of attempts to gain hold
 
 man doing such work All these points should have relative value, always beginning with those of an aggressive nature. The condition of the men at the conclusion of the time limit would likewise enter into the placing of the victor. 1t would give q referee plenty to do, but that is what he is there for And he ought to be competent to keep ill mind and pass upon all the various points and their degrees of merit With some such rules as these wrestling would be rescued from the possibility of an exhibition that at times Is only fit to put the spectators to sleep. Folk who pay to see manly sport want action for their money. If they want to doze they can do it at home without having to give up the price of admis- SiOn

BASE: BALL.
NEW HAVEN
 TEAM BOUGHT
Attorney Danaher Purchas- es the Franchise-Nor- wich Talking About WOrCeSter-NOtes

New Haven, March 9.-The much discussed baseball question in this city took decided turn yesterday, when 1t was announced that Attorney 0. j.. Danaher of Meriden had purchased the franchise for this city from Cap tain James E. Canavan. The question of grounds did not seem to deter Mr Danaher from taking the franchise off the hands of Canavan and Mir Danaher also announced that he is willing to turn it over to anyone who will guar antee New Haven good base ball. The purchase price has not been made known. The base ball directors of the Connecticut league at their last meet ing allowed the New Haven team ten days to look for grounds. There was story at that time that Tom Reilly of Meriden was after the team and that the directors would not let the franchise be transferred to Worcester, Mass,l as Manager Canavan had asked them to do. Reilly was said to have had the support of several of the lead ing directors of the league and they blocked the game to transfer the team to Worcester. Canavan is now out of New Haven base ball and the pur chase of the club by Attorney Danaher puts an end to the Worcester idiocy. The thanks of the league are due At torney Danaher for so easily and com pletely solving the New Haven mud dle. It is understood that the trolley company stands ready to provide grounds or help provide them for the new owners, in fact, has been ready to do so for anyone but Canavan.

ROSS KILLED THE CAME.

South Manchester, March 9.--If the championship wrestling honors of Hartford county are to be decided it will be elsewhere than in Manchester
 It was the intention or the Pierce A. c. to hold q carnival in this place and to have matches in several different classes pulled off in the armory. The aFmory has, on previous occasions, been used for events of this kind and is, in fact the only hall in town fitted in any way for such events. The building is owned by several men in town and is managed by F. E. Wat kins and it was rumored after the night that Duncan Ross was escort ed to the police station by Chief Sher- idan and followed by bowling mob that the armory would not be again rented for such events. This rumor has been verified by the refusal of MT Watkins to rent it to the Pierce club. When the committee reported this to the meeting of the club it was decided best by the members sto drop all connection with wrestling matchss

The go between Jimmy Williams hnd Martin Reilly of Fall River which zopened up the boxing show at New Bedford resulted in an easy win for Williams and won him q host of Friends. He fought at 16O pounds Band showed all the ear marks Of a coming favorite. Reilly is an old $register and sprung many tricks on Williams, but could not catch him mapping. For four rounds the Fall River man showed well, but it was evident after the opening round was

 \, He may never enter her life, claim her

 womankind since its initial night. Surrounded by bevy of youthful companions Stirling watches her for tho last time, as he believes; and wonders if pang of regret turks beneath her pleasure for the enchanted nights that are now no more; the nameless romancA drawing to its close.
 None could tell how it happened, it seemed but the work 1f a moment; the fiery Armand in burst of passion had flung his gold at the feet of the fainting Camille, when there came a smell of smoke, a wait of flame from behind the scenes, terrible cry from the audi- ence, and then-panic.
 Tn vain Armand sought to reassure them by his own calm courage, held out his hands in mute appeal. for the dan ger was less from fire than flight; but for few breathless moments terror reigned supreme.
 He turned instinctively to the stage box, from which the girls had fled at the first alarm, like frightened par- tridges; she stood alone and erect, but pale and trembling, as one who awaita certain doom. He sprang to her sids holding out his arms "Come"-he said simply; and catching up the slender bur- den bore her through devious ways and back passages, out into the open air.
 Strange to relate, the accident proved less disastrous than at first feared, and the fire promptly quelled, restored calm to what at first breath had seemed | hopeless panic; but the season was at an end, the incident lived long in the annals of the stage.

pULLIAM AFTER JOHNSON.

President Harry Pulliam of the Ma tional base ball league gave out a statement yesterday in which he 1atly contradicts that of Ban Johnson of the American association regarding the matter of conflicting dates While in Philadelphia Monday Johnson Is al legged to have said: In the event that MT Hermann and I cannot agree, I will consider myself absolved from any further obligation to the National league. aAe American league dates will be readjusted to suit the best in- terests of the organization" Iulliam said: "Mr Hermann, while chairman of the commission. Is simply an indi- vidual member. and has no power to change the schedule. Even if Mir Johnson has a grievance-and he has not--it would require at least six of the eight votes of the commission to make any changes. If, on the other hand. MT Johnson, whose league will be able to save $100.000 i'll players sal aries alone through the national agree ment before the season opens, wishes to violate that section of the contract, he may as well repudiate it in every particular. Maybe it would be just as we'll for him to do so. as we should then know just where he stands" In regard to the statements to the effect that the National schedule dates were changed after coming from the com mission. President Pulliam admits that such was the case, but the changes were to satisfy the American association, and MT Johnson in partic- ular. These were in conflicting dates, of which there were fifteen in New York which were finally reduced to thirteen 'These changes are the only ones made" says MT Pulliam. "and any statement to the contrary is untrue. The allegation that there was a National juggling of the schedule so as to provide for the New York Brook lyn opening in Brooklyn on April IA is made out of whole cloth. The open ing was in the schedule announced by the commission"

Z tion, met his own. Dared he interpre, the meaning lying in their modest
 depths? And was this feeling awakened !, by the ll-fated Romeo, the subtle art o1 the actor, or the man himself, who stood behind it all? Sweeter homage the art. ist had never known.
 So the brief season waxed and waned and hurried to it's close; spring blos- somed about the little city by the sea but, caught in the current of an over. mastering desire, Nhe needs nothing, an6 lives for the hour, for the night, when like star in the heavens she rises be- fore his longing sight.
 He. no longer taxes himself with the folly, the madness. the indulgence of 3 hopeless passion, a romance that must ever remain unfinished. He deems her a divinity worthy his worship, a beauti- full dream that has been revealed to him for feeting moment in his meteoric career. He can love as Ruy Bias loved, with tenderness, exaltation, and deli- cate homage that asks no return, and dies happy so that it be in her cause.
 But one night change came o'er the spirit of his dream; during the second act stranger, a man of fine command ing presence, enters the box, and seats himself beside her, with an air of calm possessiveness which at once attracts his attention; the girl turns smilingly and gives her hand, allows herself to be diverted from the play for moment. The blood burns hot in his veins, a wave of jealousy surges over him; he Is not so distinterested after all, his ex- alted sentiment receives sudden check.
 He watches him covertly all the even ing, the affectionate familiarity of his manner, his exasperating air of owner ship, or so 1t seems to his excited senses. Who is this man, by what right does he usurp her attention when it should be centered on the play; he resents his presence with all lovers inconsequent passion, yet what claim has he upon her thoughts, her sentiments, her favor? i Once he meets the eye of the stranger. .fiercely, haughtily. auestioningly, and a puzzled look fits over the face of the man; then he turns to his companion and laughingly whispers In her ear. The actor, stung by a passion he cannot con- trol, gives it free rein, and for the time he Is scarce master of himself; but to the listening audience there is no token that a play within a. play, real be- heath mimic passion, are being enact ed on the lighted stage; he outdoes him. self, so they say.
 He has not the smallest right to more than her passing interest, such enthusi- asm as all may show the artist, he tells himself with unsparing scorn; yet this he knows, though another may aspire to her hand, win her heart, for many weeks she has obeyed his slightest bid- ding-he has known her as none other could hope to do.
 She has laughed at his witty sallies. wept at his mimic woes. thrilled at his romance and daring adventure; re- vealed to him her maiden heart in all it's warmth, purity and inconsistencies To her it has not beeu aJmere play, as to 50 many others. 9. passiRg pleasurA
