that some years ago she forced her hus-
band to take a withdrawal card out of
that lodge, because she did not think
much of it. But that after she had
seen the membership Of that subOr-
dinate in the parade of Odd Fellows
she had changed her mind and was de-
termined that her husband should re-
instate himself. She then asked how
much it would cost to reinstate him
and she was informed that it would be
$105. She simply remarked that that
was pretty steep. but she supposed that
was her punishment for having forced
her husband to leave the lodge.

Hart and .Jeffries.

Many ring followers believe that Marvin Hart of Louisville will ulti- mately meet Jeffries for the heavy weight championship. But the fact re- mains that in order to secure such an important match Hart must first measure arms with FitZsimmons, who still believes that he Is the best pugil- ist In the world. bar the champion. If Hart should defeat Hitz or get a draw with him, he would be in line for the championship, yet at the same time he might be confronted by Jack Munroe or Tom Sharkey whichever wins the coming mill at Philadelphia. Jeffries is always ready to fight, but it is a. safe bet that be will make his chaa- lengers fight among themselves before he makes a selection. Hart Is young and is growing heavier every day. He is terrific hitter, but is only fairly clever. He will have to improve in many ways before he can expect to have a chance with Jeffries or even a look in with Fitz If the latter's hands are strong. But if 4Soberts S'mall- leys'' should go back on him again he would not be able to fool an opponent like Hart, who would probably sail for a climax without further delay. Sharkey, if he whips Munroe, will surely challenge Jeffries, but he may find both Fitz and Hart in his way. unless Jeff decides to take the burly sailor on regardless. At any rate, lief fries will have to defend his title again within the next six months, or sport ing men will miss their guess.

Bill Against Norwich.

There is nothing positive about the fact that the Norwich ball team will play their games on what is known as Sachem park another season. Since Norwich has had league team all the games have been played there, both before and after the grounds were bought by the St Patrick $ church parish. The club has paid the taxes on the land there, including alf- the old park grounds. and also the interest on the investment of the par ish, besides making the repairs. This has been done several years, as per agreement. Some persons have dam- aged to a considerable extent the building which was the pavilion on the park outside the ball grounds. The team has recently been presented with q bill for $2OO by Father Treanor for damages to the pavilion.

WRESTLING.
ANOTHER CAR
 NIVAL FOR CITY
Kelly of This City and Cnaki of Bridgeport
 Roach of This City and O'COnneIl

The managers of the recent wrest- ling carnival ill the City hall do not intend to lie idle, for they have ar- ranged for another tournament to be held in City hall about February T.. There will be two star bouts for that evening and two preliminary contests. All the arrangements were completed the other night after the first cdrni- val. Editor Dick Howell of the Sun day Herald was ill Waterbury on that evening and as he is the manager of Billy Cnaki, the fast and speedy wrestler from Bridgeport, match was arranged between his man and John E. Kelly of this city. This will be the principal contest of the even ing It will be straight catch-as- catch-can in, which Kelly may give Cnaki handicap of two or three falls in one hour. It will give Kelly a chance to get himself in good trim too, for although he won his match the other night against O'Connell he certainly was not trained down to the limit.
 The first of the star bouts will be a corker and no mistake. Jack Roach of this city and Ed O'Connell of New Haven will face each oher for straight atch-as-catch-can match, best two out of three falls. This Is 8 match that both Roach and O'Connell have long wanted. Tn fact they were matched a few weeks ago and their forfeits were posted, but Roach unfor- tunateiy hurt his finger and the match had to be called off. Now both will go into active training and this match should be one of the fast est ever seen in Waterbury.
 There will be two more preliminar- ies, but the. contestants have not yet been secured. They may bring to- gether wrestlers from Bridgeport, Naugatuck and Derby and each match will be so arranged that the men will be: evenly matched. This will be a tournament which should attract at tention from all over the state.

NEW ROWING IDEA.
Cornell Oarsmen Try Courtney''s nir-

Ithaca, N. T..

Lueder, 'O3, is instructing during the illness of Captain Coffin and the ab- sence Of Coach Courtney. Although the scheme will prove great help to the coaches. it caused no end of amusement among the men yesterday. The candidates were brought~to real ize what horrible faces some of them make when pulling hard oar, and as result several left the machine resolved not to row If they looked like that" The mirror is expected to be as valuable as the camera in showing the oarsmen their faults.

THE PUGlLISTS.
WAS IT A
 FAKE FIGHT ?
Ryan Clearly Outpointed O'Brien and RumOr Says O'Brien Tried to Double Cross.

Many who saw the fight between Tommy Ryan of Syracuse and Phila- dolphin Jack 0'Brien in luakertown on Wednesday night said yesterday that If the battle had been a ten or fifteen round affair Ryan would have won dec1sively.. Ryan, according to students of pugilism, displayed all Of his former marvellous scientific skill and something more. Instead of be- ing a back number. as O'Brien and many others believed Ryan showed that he is still one of the greatest, ii not the greatest, boxers in the world. Furthermore, Ryan did not hang out the White flag even when O'Brien knocked him down. Instead, he came back with whirlwind fighting, coupled with craftiness and phenom- enal head work. which simply swept the Philadelphian off his feet ln the last two rounds Ryan made his man look like a schoolboy amateur. He put it all over the Quaker, and at that. did not once cut himself loose to the limit. O'Bricn walked into q neat trap. Ryan led him on, and Jack fought to the best of his ability in early rounds. It was in this way that Ryan learned O'Brien's style, which at first inspection was puzzle to the Syracuse man. But once Ryan knew how to get through his oppon- ent's defense it was all over. Science in Ryan's case proved invinciDle, for { without clever discernment and SUI perb ring tactics he would probably have been beaten by his younger and more aggressive rival.
 yx ,fYsfr H0h hferS should learn lesson. Once upon q time he engaged in fight at Maspeth with q friend and pupil, Kid Mccoy, who assured him that he was in no condition to enter the ring. Ryan therefore took matters easy ill his training camp and was most beautiful ly double-crossed In the ring. Mccoy was in superb condition and literally cut Ryan to pieces. After the min Ryan. who did not have a penny ct the time, took a solemn oath that in future he would never enter the ring unfit, and would also save all the money he could make. To-day the Syracuse man is worth close to $1O0,- 900, and is still able to earn more by his physique and brains. Ring follow CTS are ready to give to Ryan the credit for being about the best middle WelSHI III the world. unless old Fitz should be able to reduce to 15S pounds and challenge him, something regard cd as improbable It is generally be- lieved that if Ryan should decide to cut into the light heavyweight class, say at 165 pounds, he would make things hum for George Gardner and others. But would he consent to tackle Joe Waleott, at catch weights? They say that Walcott, who reyels i'll fighting middle and heavyweights, thoi1gh he tips the scale at 145, is still willing to mix 1t up with the man from Syracuse.
