DUCK HUNTING IN JAPAN,

William Dinwiddie Tells How They
 Are Hunted With Nets.
 Duck hunting in Japan is thus de- scribed by William Dinwiddie in Har- per's Weekly:
 Marquis Kuroda's pond is some ten acres in extent. Around it's entire cir conference a great moundlike wall some fifteen feet in height has been thrown up, and upon it's summit and slopes a dense canebrake has been planted, which rises some thirty feet more in the air and absolutely cuts off all vision of the interior expanse of water. At intervals of some thirty yards for half the circumference of the circle and on the landward side ditches about six feet deep and five feet wide have been dug. These ditches, with the waters of the lake some eighteen inches deep in them, are about a hun dred feet long, banked with earth and sodded on each side some three feet above the surface of the surrounding land. Where they enter the lake two right angled turns are made, which as. sure complete screening of the lake from any outside view, or vice versa.

A thousand tame ducks are kept h this lake to decoy the wild ones into the byway feeding ditches.
 When the ducks once enter the ditch and begin feeding the warden pulls the bell wire and warns the host and his guests at the house several hundred yards away, and as the birds approach |, he pulls a second string, which con- meets with and closes light wire gate where the ditch debouches into the lake. The ducks are thus trapped in . deep, narrow ditch from which they have no escape except in upward flight.
 The netsmen hurry to either side of the bank protected ditch and line up along its entire length with their long poled nets held rigidly and their eyes fixed on the cut in the earth. A ward en creeps to the rear end of the ditch and cautiously peeps over. With . series of frightened squawks and plashing and Tapping of many wings the terrified birds rise like bullets from the water; the nets sweep through tho air and are brought bottom side up on the rearward side, when few of the most lucky and skiilful are found to have thrashing, loudly quacking duck enmeshed therein

JENKINS NEW HOLD,

Tom Jenkins, who is training at the foot of the Coney Island Boulevard for his worlds championship match with Georges Hachenschmidt, at Madison Square Garden, May 4, did part of his work yesterday in private. 1.S
 Jenkins and the Cuban Wonder" who is training him, are 'perfecting a new combination of leg and body hold which they claim wdll render Hacken- schmidt's great strength practically useless once the American champion can put it on the foreigner. Speaking of the hold yesterday Jenkins said:
 "I don't pretend to invent or discover any new hold, but have worked out catch-can grips that is going to be of immense benefit in my coming match. When I wrestled Hackenschmidt in London at Graeco-Roman became convinced then that he is practically at that style of wrestling.
 His great strength makes 1t very difficult to keep hold on him above the waist. or to turn him over if one gets it. He has no idea, however, Of how to protect himself against catch as-catch-can holds below the waist. I know his every weakness on that point, and the condition I am in makes me certain that I will be fast enough aild clever enough to prevent him from locking me in Graeco- Roman hold be- fore I get to work on his legs"
 The Clevelander's old teacher, Mark Lamb. who is probably the cleve:est catch-as-catch-can wrestler in the world. wired Jenkins yesterday that he would he here several days before the match to help him put on the finishing touches, and Jenkins was much elated.

THE DIAMOND.
DANAHER'S
 LAST SAY
Will Sell New Haven To- Day or To.Aorrow or Forfeit Franchise - Re. suits of Games.

That the franchise and grounds of the New Haven base ball club will be sold before the opening of the season, and possibly may be disposed of to-day, was the announcement made last eve1i ing by President Cornelius J. Danaher. Should the deal by any chance fall through, however, the franchise will he allowed to lapse and will revert to the Connecticut league without any protest on the part of the present own CT.
 T am now negotiating with a party for the sale of the franchise and grounds" said Mir Danaher last night, and confidently expect to dispose of the entire outfit before the opening of the season. Just when the transaction will be concluded I cannot say def nitely, but it may be tomorrow, or it may not be until Thursday. At any rate I am through with base ball.
 "I shall take nothing less than tht $1OOOO I have stood out for, and I fully expect to get it from the party in question. Should the deal fall through I shall simply keep my grounds as an investment and forget all about base ball. Never again will I be subjected to the treatment have received in the Connecticut league. I am through for good and all.' ...a-r{e,,.l rs s.za.s
 As to the identity of the prospective purchaser, however, not a hint could be gathered, MT Danaher declining to go further than to deny that the man is resident of Springfield. According to a base ball man, we'll known and wealthy Springfield citizen has been after the franchise, and willing to pay Danaher's price for the entire outfit, but for some reason had been unable to conclude bargain with the owner. The man in question Is an Old-timer in the business, having played first base with the New York aggregation when O'ROurke and others of that age were in their glory and the right of their fame.
 q can only say" said Danaher, "that l know nothing of the Springfield man, nor have I been approached by any of his representatives"
 In reply to the rumors that he has been holding out only in order to de- prive ORourke of the opening games of the season, Danaher said: q have never thought of such a condition for an instant. It is simply business proposition with me. If can sell the club this minute, will sell it, regard less of opening games or anything else connected with the league. Base ball doesn't figure in my calculations in the slightest. nor does the fran"hise. the grounds are what I am interest d in.'
 And you expect to sc.. ,.. .,-...or- row?"
 T certainly do, and at my own price, although the deal may not go through until the next day"

Sport at Popular Long Island Trach
 ... Marred by Accident.
 JAMAICA, N. Y., April 26.-In the presence of 25,O00 persons Santa Cata. lima won the Excelsior handicap. There were ten horses in the race, Preen be- ing an added starter. The talent con. sidered it an open betting race. made more so by the presence of Preen, which it was conceded might injure the chances of the favorite, Crown Prince. The latter carried the most money of any one horse, though every entry had following. 4sEY
 The finish was the most sensational seen in years, marred by an accident right under the wire, in which two horses, Witful and Sir Brillar, were thrown. The accident was caused by Kent on Preen, which cut across the leaders twenty yards from the finish, interfering with Ormonde's Right San. ta Catalina, Rapid Water, Witful and Sinister. Both Fuller and Kelly were thrown.
 The others had to eull up for self preservation. Sir Brillar was in the wake of Witful and fell over the Smathers mare. Preen was disquali- ned in short order and the race given to Santa Catalina, which was first to recover from the mixup. Rapid Water was given second and Sinister third.
 ]. Kelly. who fell from Sir Brillar. was injured. and Fuller, who fell from Witful. was cut very badly on his left leg above the knee.
 Other winners of the day were:
 First Race.-New York, first; Toscan, second; Trapper. third.
 Second Race.-The Gadny, first; Head Dance, second; Carbuncle, third.
 Third Race.-Just, first; AnodynA second; Green Room, third.

WRESTLING. O'CONNELL
 WAS BEATEN
Barnes of Wisconsin An Un. Known Lad Takes Five Falls Out of the New Haven Boy.

Springfield, April 26.-Jim Barnes of Wisconsin was winner of the handicap wrestling match in Turn hall last night, Edward J. O'Connell, wrestling instructor at Yale. being thrown five times ill 42m 45c of actual wrestling. The match was the most spectacular exhibition of finished matwork ever presented locally, and about 800 per sons enthused over the grand sport.
 Like Hercules, Barnes stripped to the wonderment of the crowd and in weight he had an advantage of fully 3O pounds OConnelr weighed about l3S pound and Barnes sturdy frame gave him the appearance of being 2tA pounder, but he was considerably un- der that figure. In the fourth bout, previous to which O'Connell had stlug- gled gamely and with skill that was repeatedly cheered, a cord in the wres- tl1ng Instructors arm was was dis placed. With his right arm almost useless. O'Connell continued in the match in hopes of being able to stave off Barnes until the end of the 60 min utes allotted.
 After the third bout in which O'Con- nell was badly battered, through the big weight advantage of his opponent, Referee George V. Tuohey of Boston advised O'Connell not to take chances of serious injury by continuing, put the lad gamely stuck.
 Barnes and O'Connell agreed to bar the strangle hold and all clutches cut ting off the wind. The beautiful phy- sique of the westerner won him admir- CTS at once. He insisted that Barnes" was good enough as his name and the crowd didn't care who he was so long as he kept spectators pleased. It is pretty good betting to wager S,at Harvey Parker could tell who Barnes" was. After 25 minutes and 35 seconds O'Connell was thrown by a three-quarters Nelson from the front across the lighter mans body. O'Con. nell was bit weary after this bout, having actually attempted to end the match by gaining fall on Barnes. The latter worked just loosely enough at times to make O'Connell exert himself in offensive wrestling.
 There was period of il minutes and 30 seconds of mat work before Barnes got the second fall. ONCon- nell's slippery form glided about the mat rapidly and he appeared to lose strength. Perspiration poured from both men, so eagerly did, they contest the third bout, which was won in minute and half. AnothAr style of the Nelson was used. It required two minutes and 10 seconds for the fourth bout, which O'Connell contested against the advice of well-wishers. With about 10 minutes left for the final bout, Barnes tossed O'Connell at once and in 30 seconds had won the last fall in his stiff contract.

 O'Brien was cautioned several times by Referee Ryan on account of his rough tactics. O'Brien claimed that he was sick. Kelly had all the best of the argument in the fourth, fifth and 10th rounds. He led for the body continually, which showed its ef- feet on his adversary in the last round, when O'Brien was fighting wild.
