Out to Sea.
Helsingford, Finland.-It is feared
that 500 fishermen with their families,
who are aloat on the ice in the gulf
of Finland, are doomed to perish. A
fortnight ago about 1000 persons, who
had with them their horses, were fish
ing off the east land when the ice part
ed and was driven by a storm into the
Baltic sea. Later the ice split, the
wind changed to east and yesterday a
block on which there were 1000 per-
sons came ashore at Fredericksham.

THE MEXICAN's PUNCH.

ITerrera's punch is called the NIau. ser bullet. The little Mexican who conquered Young Corbett has style that is unique. He doubles half over in most pronounced crouch. elbows well in against the ribs. hands before his neck and jaws. gazing now at the enemy's feet. now at his eyes.
 There is very little fancy sparring in him. He is.crouched. tense.' always set. like bent erossbow. and ready to let loose his killing right. He is al- ways boring in. He doesn't fly in like Terry Mciovern. or wade in bulls headed like Battling Nelson.
 On the contrary. he edges in few inches at time. entirely nnglectful of whether he is being slugged or not. and always looking for chance to shoot across the deadly right.
 Thar punch is a wonder. II starts from a position of guarding. He does not draw hack the right at all Simply shooting the right fist forward inside ihe enemy's left lead. whether iab or hook ar swing. Herrera sends it straight at tie point of the jaw fair and true. and the fist gets hit of q twist on it as it flies.

brown fur, and with the picturesque figure of Morrison on the box It was little wonder that hundreds of peo pie wished to ride behind them, and that many distinguished persons promptly accepted invitations to drive them around the inclosure. Prominent doctors, lawyers, judges, engineers and college professors, many of them bald or gray-headed, scrambled over the sides of the cart like schoolboys and laughingly handled the ribbons over the only team of buffaloes in the world. On the last day of the show, a modest, studious-looking young man walked into the inclosure, and mo- ment later was whirling over the tan bark behind War Whoop and Toma- hawk. A large crowd was present, but it is doubtful if half dozen peo- pie recognized, in that quiet young man, the oldest son of the president of the United States. It was Theo- dore Roosevelt, IT,, who had snatched the time to run down with a class mate from Harvard for drive behind the buffalo team.

THE SPORTING NEWS.
WRESTLING
PICK YOUR MAN .
Speculation as to Who Will Win in the Tournament To-Morrow
 Night in Simonsville.

All the wrestlers are ready for the call of time tomorrow evening down in the SimOnsville Athletic club. The demand for tickets has been greater than ever before and it is now be- lieved that the hall will be filled to overhowing. Gresham says he will give Murphy of New Haven the sur prise of his life, and if he thinks he is going 10 have cinch he will find the former champion of Canada knows a. little bit about the game himself. Filler of South Manchester and Max Gordon of Hartford. formerly of Naug- atuck, will also figure i'll a sensational encounter. Filler is anxious to get on with some of the top-notchers and he feels that he will have q soft snap in Gordon. The latter intimates that there never was Filler that could throw him.
 Kelly and Roach are fit and ready. Kelly is in the pink of condition, and as the match is at catchweights he will De primed for fast and grueling fight. He has no fear of the outcome of the match and will be there with the goods and will deliver them. So confident is he that he will that his friends will be there ready and willing to back him to the limit. Roach is also confident and the sturdy young wrestler says that it never lay in Kelly's makeup to throw him twice in an hour and he will prove that very cOnclusively tomorrow evening.

MFADDEN IS FOOLISH.

One of tho most persistent trailers after Joe Cans is George McFad,ien. Elbows George" who says hc mas taken a new lease on strength and life generally and still has his old punch with him. The two have fought five times. They fought first in 1Ss9 and Cans won in twenty-iive rounds. They went over the same distance to a draw tn the same year. and a little later Joe was knocke.l ou. by George tn the twenfy-thinl ru1nd. In Iao and Iac they fought and no decision was given in either contest. McFad- den has been fighting a good deal re- gently in the threc-roHnd mix-ups in New York and t does not seem Isss~si- i,le thar he would have q chance win tIe champion.

THE DIAMOND
ARE WATCHING US
W aterbury Base Ball Schemes Are Being Closely Scanned Other
 News of Interest.

The following article taken from the Springfield Union of this morning shows how they are sizing Up Water bury in other places: ..
 Manager Harold R. Durant of the Waterbury base ball team is not wait ing for the grass to grow under his feet ill his plans to put first-class crew into the Brass city. and has al- ready signed up nine pitchers. includ- ing the redoubtable Cy Voorhees,, a Holyoke asset in 1904 and Tri-State leaguer for time last season. Attor- ney Durant< is also after Pat O'Con- nor, the sturdy Pony catcher, and may get him. though Dan O'Neil has told the Windsor Locks lad to report, weighing in at 150 pounds, when the season opens.
 The return of Voorhees, to the Con- necticut league is bound to bring from retirement the hammersmiths of the circuit. for Cy was not much loved. Nevertheless. he can pitch good ball and did So for Holyoke, losing many games by narrow margins because the men behind did not put their whole hearts into the affair when he was in the box. When Jess Frysinger took the HolyOke helm last season he de. cided that there wouldn't be room on the same club for two such big men as Voorhees, and himself
 "NoOrhees. with his six feet three, backed by his Oberlin education, was formidable looking figure in the pitchers box. He is said to be iii good shape and his way to Waterbury has been paved by the astute Durant. who found it necessary tO placate the Phila delphia National league management. with which NOorhees is said to have signed a contract last season. The twirler fell before the temptations of Iri-State agents and left the Quakers
 Having found that Pat O'Connor is anxious to play elsewhere than in Springfield next season, Manager Du- rant got Dan ONeil in a corner before last Fridays league meeting in New Haven and asked him how he thought O'Connor would like to catch for Wa terbury. The Springfield manager promptly said he didn't think Paddy would care 10 leave Springfield. despite his midwinter proclamations. Of course. if he really wants to get away l won't handicap him much.' said the Springfield magnate. Attorney Du, rant figures O'Connor as a Waterbury probability.
 "A well known Connecticut leaguer whom Durant has signed for his pitch. ing staff is Treat, who did his best work with Meriden, and who was sor short time Pony. Ollie Colpridge, Tri-Stater. has also been taken on. Golbridge is a big fellow and is said to have lots of speed. Left Rogers will of course be one of the stand bys. He has already signed. George l.achance. who played with the Boston Americans when the Collins crew used to win pennants. is expected to play first for Waterbury. His home is in that city and he plans to get his re- lease from Montreal"

TAYLOR GOES ABROAD.

President John Irving Taylor of the Boston American league club sailed Tor Europe on Friday. and will be gone six months. Treasurer McBreeu will have entire charge of the offices of the club and it's business while he is away. and Manager Jimmy Collins will he given entire charge of all mat ters concerning the players, and will have the power to sign and release In other words. lie will be just where he was before the present ownership Last season some moves were made without consulting Collins at all: he did not relish interference with what had always been his prerogative. and the result was that things did not move as smoothly as ther had pre- yiously. President Johnson of the American league was far from pleased with the way things had been going. and it is thought that the recent meet ing in New York brought about the suggestion from the former for a lrlp abroad. Johnson thinks the result of the change in the administration of affairs will prove most beneficial in every way. He looks to the Boston club to make better fight than it did last season. and he looks for better re- suits financially. Collins says he has not the least doubt that he can induce DineeH to reconsider his determina- ton not to return 10 the club. for no pair are thicker than Collins and Dn- cen. GTimshaw. foo. said he did not care to play hn Boston any more. hut Collins thinks he will also fall into line when he understands how mat ters have shaped themselves.

WALTER CAMPS SATIRE.
Suggests Football on Soft Carpet and
 Like Things for Fair Harvard.

'uSSNstS IoVtpuh VII 'pVit Soi pNt e''~
 Like Things for Fair Harvard.
 Harvard men. at least some of them, are not likely to love Walter Camp the more after reading the football rules he expounded in Boston Monday night, particularly since Mir Camps satire was plainly directed at the Cambridge institution. The set of rules were given at the Boston Yale club dinner and ran something like this:
 Rule 1. Tn preparing the field for a game great care should be taken to have the ground as soft as possible. The day before the game fire should he built on the grounds and they should be covered with warm sawdust. The field should then be covered with a red carpet. c'The suggestion of this rule shows that the western college delegates had been comforting with our friends near at hand" added Mir Camp)
 Rule ?. The price of tickets should he left with the spectator. He may give what price he wishes.
 Rule 3. The spectators should wear somber clothing and should keep quiet in the stands. The only cheering should he done by squads chosen by the faculty. Each cheer is to be giveT at the close of each half.
 Rule 1. The time between halves should be devoted to tests in high-class literature.
 Rule ]. In order to he eligible a player must get an average of at least s per cent in ancient history, art. botany and needle work.
 Rule c. No player should have more than S2 in his clothes. If he has more, he must give satisfactory explana- ton or he ruled off as professional.
 Rule :. Each player should he pro- vided with a small flag of his college colors. When he approaches the play CT to be tackled he must wave the flag between the chin and knee of the play CT and shout: ''Tweedledum. tweedlc- dee. now tackle thee"
 Rule s. When the ball is in play. the captain shouts: Who will take the ball:' The player then says, "1 will," aud the captain selects this man.

THE MATCH MADE.

W. F. Madden of South Manchester and Edward J. O'Connell of New Ha- ven, each with a retinue of packers and advisers, met in lhe Hartford COurant office last night and after many discussions over grappling tech nicalities agreed to Wrestle within four weeks from last night before the club that offered the largest purse.
 What brought the match about was an offer of Madden to throw O'COnnell twice in one hour. It WAS agreed that the match should be at catch-as-catch- can and only pin falls should count. 0'Connell wanted the strangle hold barred. while Madden insisted that it could be used. This matter was re- ferred to the sporting editor of the Courant. who decided that the strangle hold should be cut out.
 There was long discussion about how the gate receipts should he diyid- ed. O'Connell wanted the winner to take all. Mir McHale wanted to split the money. A suggestion that the re- ceipts be divided a and 2o was turned down and it looked as If the match would fall through. The men put on their coats and prepared to leave, but Captain Madden finally agreed to al- low O Cornell to have his own way re- garding money matters. The articles of agreement are as follows:
 Hartford. January 31. 1906.
 We. w. F. Madden and Edward J. O'Connell. agree to wrastlc within four weeks from date. before the club offering the largest purse. under the following conditions: Madden to throw O'Connell twice in bne hour of actual wrestling time.

HOW MEXICO IS LEARNING.
School Teachers Sent to the United States to Acquire the English
 Language.

The study of English is compulsory in the Mexican public schools. Every year Mexico sends to the United States a number of school teachers to study American pedsgogic methods. says the Review of Reviews. A great many Mexican children are being educated in the schools and colleges of this country. where formerly they were sent to Europe. The number of Mexican visitors to the United States and the number of American visitors to Mexlco is increasing every year. It is said that Yucatecans snou New York better than the City oi Mexico. and that vest-eosst Mexicsns are more at home in San Francisco than in their own capital city. Thus. each year the American way of liv ing is taking a deeper hold on the Mex icsn people.
 The vice president of Mexico anc announced successor of President Disz is very much Americsnized in his ideas. In fact he might easily be mistaken for a plain. shrevd Amer ican business man from his appear snce. manner and methods. He has always been exceedingly friendly to- ward Americans. As governor of the state of Sonora. he encouraged them to invest in enterprises ia his state and to settle therein He spared 10 effort in seeing tha, their lives prop erty and civil rights were prOteeted- He is well informed sbouf the United States. and Is !. stu1enz of E1zl1sa- He has three dazshters in sckcoi st San Francisco- and is etucsttng all o< his children fn tks Usited statsA
