Again in the fifth he sent Beauscholte to his knees and he took the count for eight. Beauscholte was groggy and was at Ryan's mercy but was not put out. In the sixth Beauscholte was in such a condition that Ryan. quit hitting him and was given the fight.

Trapping the Amdean Condor.

t Anyone who has ever watched a heavy bird rise from the ground has doubt less noticed that it runs along the ground for few feet before it rises; the bird must acquire some momentum before it's wings can lift it's heavy body into the air. The natives in certain parts of the Andes understand this fact very we'll and by means of it catch the great Andean vultures, the condors. A small space is shut in with high fence and left open at the top. Then lamb or piece of carrion is placed on the ground inside. Presently vulture sees the bait and swoops down upon it, but when once he finds he has alighted on the ground in- side he cannot get out, for he has no runs ming space in which to acquire the mos mentum that is necessary before his wings can lift him.

F SOME BOXING NOTES.

Tom Sharkey says he is willing to pack Spike Sullivan against any le gitimate lightweight in the world for a side bet of $1,000. Sharkey is ready to clinch match between Joe Cans and Sullivan providing the former will weigh in at o'clock on the night of the battle at 136 pounds.
 Casper Leon wants to get back in the ring. He has challenged Jimmy Walsh, the Boston bantam, to a ten round "go" before one of the Boston clubs. Why Boston. Casper doesn't say, but he may have a friend at the station house. /-
 Dal Hawkins is training with a view to getting a. match with any of the lads in, his class. He would like to have a shy at Willie Fitzgerald. This pair would make good set-to.
 Boxing is off again in Boston. There were two fights scheduled for Monday night. but the police vetoed the proceeding. It seems that the Boston policeman has a little respect for the grand jury.
 "Kid'' Mccoy has not yet respond ed to Jack McGuigan, the manager of the National Sporting club of Phila- de1phia, who notified "Kid'' that he had signed Gus A.uhlin to box Mccoy six rounds before his club. It is very likely that Mccoy will want more time than from now until March i in which to prepare himself. 1t likes hurry call, anyway.

OAkvILLE HAPPENINGS

y James Haight of "the Row. for merly master japanner at thelocal pin factory has entered the employ of Seymour Smith & Son.
 Yesterday evening Watertown lady drew considerable attention at the station with her much fondled pet, ries about with her. She spoke of it's things that the little animal had be- come so attached to her that each time she prepared to go out, the mon- key "cried'' to go too. The lady also said he was fond of playing with her other pets, dog and cat, and that it enjoyed several privileges at home, one of which was to sleep in her own bed each night.
 Lionel Dains, Mrs Josay and Mrs William Robinson's father are to be added to the sick list.
 George Hodges, who had been work ing for a considerable time at the Scovill Manufacturing Ga, has enter ed the employ of the Oakville com pany.
 There is no marked change about the condition of Mrs Charles Graham. The much spread rumor that typhoid fever had olso set in is not unauestion- able, as those in her attendance can- not as yet certify it.
 Mrs George A. Smith spent the day at ter mothers, Mrs M. 0. Moshier, in Stratford.
 Hiram Dains has entered the en- ploy of E. c. Shade & Son.
 Richards Fitzpatrick, who has had a severe case of grip for about two weeks, during which time he has been more or less feverish, Is reported to- day as rapidly improving. It has been much said that he had typhoid fever for second time, but that is not to be credited.

ABE ATrELL,s CHANGES.

If Abe Attell ever meets Young Corbett he will get the worst licking he ever got in his life. That is, if Corbett can catch him. Attell is very clever, far cleverer than the champion. and he may take it into his head to run around the ring, not car ing whether he wins the decision or not That will make no fight for the spectators, and that's why. no club will go out of its way to bid on the bout.
 Attell's declaration. 'I will fight him at catch weights" comes from a source we'll known Abe has been told by one Of the best trainers in the country that the heavier Corbett is the poorer he fights. This must be in his mind when he makes the grand stand play about catch weights.
 ihere is no doubt about Young Corbett's willingness to meet Attell, provided it can be shown that they will draw at the gate. Corbett is not in the business for pleasure. He wants all the good. bright, dollars that his efforts can bring forth. If Attell can show where the "coin can be gotten" Corbett will sign so quick that fit will take Abe's breath away.

BASE BALL.
TEAM TALK
 AT HARTFORD
Manager Tracey Will Have
 a Corking Good Team
 of playerS..Some More / Base Ball News.

Regarding his prospects in Hartford Manager Tracey says that he is doing all he can to locate and settle on play CTS for the season of 1904 that would do credit to the Hartford base ball |IRublic. He wanted to surprise Hart Ford people in different manner from
 t,he way they have been surprised be- fore. MT Tracey said he had already |Teceived signed contracts from eight fast men, and, of course, had them |Sinched. Yesterday morning re- |c1eived contracts from two of them.
 When questioned as to the personnel |of the team, MT Tracey declined to di- |Tulge names, as he said it would in- |1Qre his plans, and he wanted no other |npanager to learn what he was doing |until all his men were signed. MT Tracey said all his men would be |Higned and agreed upon definitely by f1arch l: Commenting further on tue linen he has secured thus far, MT Ira |eey said he was at the present time ne- l fg1tiating with several men of Eastern Ile&gue caliber and would probably get lsame of them. Of those already signed I four Of them were pitchers whose aDIl- R1ty was far ahead of the regular state 7league standard. One of these pitch l CTS was last year a twirler for the American association and MT Tracey lis patting himself on the back at his success in landing him. The other -four of the eight signed are infelders, land one of them is a player who is faster, MT Tracey says, than usually |nlays in the state league. He has |Ylayed a good deal in much faster cir quits, and good work is looked for
 rom him. None of the four infielders
 signed has a batting record of less
 Than the 300 mark. Thus far he has 3been unable to settle upon a catcher
 or catchers that suited his ideas, but
 he said he had his eye on an Eastern league backstop that would give a good account of himself if he was lucky enough to get him. Mir Tracey says the contracts specify that the men must report in Hartford on or before April IS, so as to get in trim for the Iseason's work. The season opens this
 year on April 2S, and the Hartford
 team will play at Hartford on that
 day.

Corn, Corn, Corn.

Were the corn of the seven states load ed on wagons, 40 bushels to the load, and placed so the heads of the horses would come just to the rear end-board of the preceding wagon, and it were pos- sible for this line of march to cover the land and sea. an average years crop from these seven corn-growing states would make complete belt of corn wag- ons six times around the world Place the crop of 1902 in cars holding 500 bushels each, and allow 40 feet for car and coupling. and we would have con- tinuous freight train 38.37S miles long. After considering these figures one read fly believes that, in the list of cereals, corn stands first in point of acreage, yield and value.--WalteH H. Olin, in Four-Track News.

"CHIP" M'GARR's JOKE

The following good baseball tales come from Cleveland:-
 'tChip McGsrr, Cleveland's old third baseman, was a peculiar chap" says Patsy Tebeau, according to Elmer Bates of the Cleveland Press. q wrote all the players one winter and asked them what they were doing to keep in playing form. McGarr's letter was most encouraging. "'I have taken an old mattress and stood it up in the corner of the back yard he wrote. Every warm day I go out, and standing about as far as from third to first I throw at that mat tress. My arm has been kept in fine condition in this way and my aim is superb
 "Well. when we got altogether at Hot Springs in March McGarr could scarcely carry the ball across the dia- mond, let alone throw it.
 ;" How about the mattress story you wrote me, Jim ?'' I asked him.
 "I'll tell you about that, Cap he said. I spent so much time in bed last winter that every time I had a dream it was about mattress
