Albany. April 19-Sx distinct legislative
measures all of which have been fully and APP

blind bills widespread privileges irrespective
Of local authorities or compensatory provisions;
one amending bill to standardze the banking
law of the State with reference to savings banks
by Inserting Joker TO take care of certain
company and the Niagara power grab" were
advanced or passed by the legislature to-day.
The bills thus treated were as follows:
I. Eisbers charter validating bill; passed by
the Senate.
2. GoOdseII railroad condemnation bill;
passed by Assembly.
g. GoodseIl steinway tunnel bill; reprinted
by committee.
4. Goodsell Bronx abandonment bill; reported
by committee.
5. Stevens banking bill; amended by COM
nttee
e. Niagara bill; put on to-morrow's calendar
for passage.
The reporting of the GoodseH bills was the
most fragrant action of the day. since it was
done only q few minutes after the representa-
tives Of a number of New-YOrh civic organiza-
tions had pleaded against the bills after expos
ing all the true grab" characters of these meas
Ures. The action on the banking bill was merely
a shift of few words to evade the criticism of
the measure made by the Governor and yet to
take care of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois
Railroad bonds. The fact that the spirit of the
Governors criticism was lodged, while his
words were quoted as showing the objection, is
removed by this blunt statement by the Gov
ernOr in response to a statement by Senator
Gardner in the Senate:
Senator Gardner is not authorized to speak
for me on savings bank matters"

WOULD MAKE GREAT RACE
Owner of Audubon Boy Hurts Chal-
lenge at W. w. Savage for
Race With Dan Patch.

The air is full of challenges right
now and the lovers of the harness
racers are wondering what will come Of
them. Jimmy Gatcomb has hurled a
def at NJ. W Savage. challenging Dan
Patch on the part of Audubon Boy.
Savage has not replied. but the per
formance of the two show what might
be expected. Dan Patch paced a half
mile ring in 2:01, and Audubon Boy
stepped a mile track in l.59l.. This
makes them very even IA speed, al
though the son of Joe Patchen has been
more miles around two minutes than
any horse that ever lived.
Dan Patch has been great horse
since his first campaign, and has been
able to race as well as TO show we'll in
exhibitions. but whether Dan Patch
has beaten a horse of the caliber OF
Audubon Boy is another matter Audi,
bon Boy is a race horse. pure and sim
pie. The year Scott Hudson had him
they would get up close at the head of
the stretch and look TO have him beat
en- but the red-headed Kentuckian
would shake him up and cluek 10 him,
then the crowd would see great horse
almost lose the others in the homeward
flight
Savage has nothing TO gain and
everything to lose if he MAKES this
match, so il would not be surprising to
see him decline with thanks.

age Indians Team.

Spokane. Sept. S0.-Matt Stanley can
be expected TO manage the Spokane IN
dams in the Northwest league unless,
of course, Mique Fisher concludes TO
take this city in the coast league for
next year. This is d contingency, how
ever and so Stanley ha san even show
of managing the Indians next year
Yesterday Dorsey and Merritt re-
ceived letter from Stanley asking
what the Spokane management would
offer for his services. As the Spokane
management and Stanley have been
dickering for some time, the local club
today sent the old-time catcher a good
offer, and one that is expected TO land
him.
The offer made Stanley is about what
the catcher wants, and there is hardly
any question about its being accepted.
Stanley is a most popular manager and
has host of friends in Spokane. He
may be a great factor in bringing out
new pitchers next year and should keep
Spokane well to the front.

I'm tell you a funny thing which
happened when / was playing in Hi
nois many years ago. I was playing in
a game at Joliet one day when one or
our men, Mcfarland by name, knocked
a long fly over center field fence and
into a pasture. There were two men
on bases at the time and they came
home, as Mcfarland did also. II so
happened. however. there was a bull In
the pasture where the ball was
knocked, and wOnld you believe ii, that
sphere hit one of his horns and stuck

and when lie saw the ball stick on that
bulls horn he wasted no time, but
jumped the fence and started TO chase
the animal. He caught him. snatched
the ball from the horn. aud, running
back, jumped the fence and ran 10 the
diamond.
First he touched third base and then
second, and then with "A yell announced
He claimed that as the ball had NOT
touched the ground before he touched
the bases il was the same as a catch.
There was an uproar at once. The fans
went wild, and for "a few minutes that
diamond looked as il there was a riot
on it, The umpire refused To uphold
NARROW and the three runs counted.
This worried NARROW SO much that
he wrote TO the managers of the big
teams and asked for their opinions on
the subject. He received many an-
sWers. some saying the umpire was
right and others that he was wrong.
The matter rested on MaVl0W's mind
for so long and he puzzled so much that
he went insane one day and shot him
