LEvIEs ARE REDUCED.
Total of 90 1-2 Cents This Year
Against $3.50 Ia Last Year.

With the action of the state board
Of public works in fixing the state
levy for 1906 at 1.2 cents on the 800,
the Berkeley county and Martinsburg
taxpayers will be able TO closely esti.
mate what be will be compelled to
pay in taxes this year. As shown be-
low, the total state, county and
school levies foot up to $3.50 1-2 for
MatinsburR, and these figures will be
greatly decreased in the county, by
reason of the fact that the people
residing there will not have any CITY
taxes to pay. The tax levy for the
city will probably be about 35 cents,
although this matter has not yet been
settled bv the council; therefore the
80 cents placed in the column is es-
timated. But it is believed it will
be about this figure, making the lev
les as follows:

THE PUGlLlSTS
BILL CROWLEY
 HAS NEW ONE
Jack Curran of Springfield Under His Wing-More Good
 Fight News.

Springfield, Nov 15.--In the belief that Jack Curran of this city has all the makings of pugilist of the first rank, w. l.. (BilD Crowley. of Hart ford has taken up the local lad and has him matched to go against Jerry Gaines of Boston in North Walpole, N. H., tomorrow night.
 It is believed that Curran can fight at close to 1S0 pounds. He has shown ability to take lot of licking without losing any of his sand, and has shown that he has the punch by putting out with one wallop Duke Ferguson, brother of the famous and notorious Sandy. It was in Southbridge that Curran put Ferguson out, the bout lasting only long enough to allow the Springfield scrapper to wind up and let go once.
 Gaines is known as hard fighter and is styled "The Market Cham- pion." If Curran whips him he will be sent against some of the good ones. MT Crowley figures him as capable of getting to the top of the ladder, point ing out that there are no good heavy weights in the business now except ing OBrien and Burns. He shows his confidence in Curran by declaring he Is willing to back him against Mar win Hart if he can have month ID which to train his man.

TERMS OF AGREEMENT.

New York, Nov 15.--This afternoon at the Metropole hotel the question of a return match between Corbett will probably be settled when the mana gers of the two men meet at 3 o'clock to consider bids for the contest. Sev- eral days after their last meeting at Philadelphia articles were signed by the two men calling for another match during the first week in Janu- ary, 1907, and for meeting on No vember 15, to close the question of a battle-ground. Offers have been re- ceived from seceral Eastern cities, in- cluding Baltimore. Philadelphia and Boston. and Charley Harvey, repre- senting J. W. Coffroth. of San Fran cisco, will be on hand to put In a bid. Upon completing arrangements for the match forfeits will be posted by the two men and the club securing the contest.

READY FOR VILLANOyA.

The coaches are giving the Ford ham eleven plenty of hard work this week. in preparation for Villanova next Saturday. Fitzpatrick, the star guard, appeared in suit for the first time in week yesterday, having been laid up with bad knee. His reappearance in the line put new life in the men, and the varsity played fast football against the second eleven. The varsity scored three times in the first half, mostly on trick plays, McCarthy's work on the fore ward pass being conspicuous. In the second half the second eleven got busy and on a pretty end run by Me Cabe got the ball over the 'varsity's line for a touchdown. Kloughen, who 1t was thought would not be able to play next Saturday on account of a weak ankle, is himself again and playing his usual brilliant game. Con- siderable time was given to trick plays, which will probably be used rather than the old fashioned line smashing, as Villanoya's team is con siderably heavier than Fordhams. and her line strong. Collard was at guard in place of Casey, who was given a rest. Manager Carey yester- day completed arrangements with the Holy Cross management for game at the Polo grounds in New York on Thanksgiving day.

THE GRIDIRON ALL IS READY
 FOR SATURDAY
Princeton Field is Being Protected and Both Team. Are Fit
 Other News.

Princeton, N. J., Nov 15.-Final preparations for the Yale-Princeton game are almost complete. The grand stands were finished yesterday. Few bets have been made on the con test, at least in Princeton. There is a bunch of Orange and Black money going begging simply because the Ellis are demanding to 4. There is scarcely seat left for Saturday. Yesterday the advance guard of spec ulators focked into town, but most of them got stung. One seedy look ing individual asked student to get him fourteen tickets, saying he was the principal of a high school some where. He was going to give the tickets to his fourteen pupils who stood the highest. The would-be speculator Queered himself when he interrupted his song to spit tobacco juice. He said also he believed in the new spelling, but that didn't do him any good. If any tickets issued to student are found in the hands of spectators the student will be blacklisted. This means he will never again receive fayors from the ath- letic association of Princeton A crowd of over 25,0O0 persons can be accommodated at University field.

GRDIRON NOTES.

Penney will be the substitute quar- ter for Princeton on Saturday.
 The demand for seats for the Har- vard- Yale game. has not been. large. Indians are not the representative teams from this part of the country.
 Princeton undoubtedly is strong combination but it will have to play as 1t never played before to defeat Yale.
 There will be very few tickets in this city for the Yale-Harvard game judging from the reports and none will be on sale.
 Tad Jones is doing much better work for Yale and it is thought that he will show his real form in the Princeton game.
 The practice for the teams Is about over and they will do nothing to speak of until Saturday when they will make up for lost time.
 To whet the appetites of the Tigers the Princeton coaches have been orua- menting the sweater of each scrub player with a big blue Y.
 While Coach Robinson of Brown is inclined to pick Harvard as the win ner in the Yale-Harvarl game. Capt Schwartz believes the victory will go to Yale.
 Princeton undergraduates have a raft of money to bet on the Tigers but they are not willing to give . to 1 which the Yale admirers are de- manding.
 Browns interest in her team is we'll shown by the fact that there are near ly 70 men in the daily practice. even though the eleven must be pretty well settled on in the minds of the coaches now.
 A unique situation has developed at Cornell. where Coach Warner has de- posed Capt Cook and put R. W. Sail or in the captains place at left tackle. Moreover 1t Is believed the chauge Is to he permanent.
 Fitxpatrick. the giant guard of Fordham. is hack in the game after a weeks layof with an injured knee and his return has inspired the other players with much confidence for the game with villanovs on Saturday.
 Coach Torrey of Pennsylvania has sent to Hurry Tp Yost teicgram of sympathy. condoIing with the Michigan coach in the loss to Vests team of Cap; Joe Curtis. who sustain ed a fractured hone in practice Sat uriay.

KEENE TO RACE IN ENGLAND
Peter Pan and Court Dress to Try for
 Derby and Oaks on Other Side.

There will be another Keene in- vasion of England unless James R.. Keene changes his mind Peter Pan, Court Dress and four others, to be selected, will be shipped to England to race next season.
 The ambition of Mir Keeene's life, in turf affairs, IS to win an English Derby. Peter Pan is entered in the Derby and Court Dress in the Oaks. Both have several other important en- agreements. Bearing the white, blue spots,' Disguise won the Jockey club stakes of f10.000. Cap and Bells captured the Oaks. If their owner can add the greatest classic of all to his wreath of laurels he will rest sat isfied.
 The horses will certainly be in charge of an English trainer. This works hardship on trainer like James Rowe, when the cream of his stable is taken away and given to an- other man.
 With Mir Belmont's contingent of eighteen yearlings at Newmarket. America will be we'll represented on the English turf next season. MT Vanderbilt's tremendous success in France last season has given a de- cided boom to racing abroad, and many wealthy men are now desirous of owning stables abroad.

 Passing through a lonely part of his fathers works, Harold Goodwin, with a start of surprise, found himself con fronted by a rough, fierce looking man.
 The forbidding appearance of the stranger caused Goodwin to pull up abruptly. Instantly the ruffian, rais- ing his arm, hurled a short, heavy bar of iron full at his face. Stunned and bleeding, with hideous gash on the cheek, Goodwin reeled back. The ruff. fan advanced. His eyes glowed at the near prospect of plunder. But something stood between him and the fallen man.
 Then with sudden leap, his long. woolly body shot through the air, and two great rows of firm white teeth clenched in the ruffian's throat.

THE CROSBY CHANGES.

Although Crosby High will in all probability be without the services of fullback Freney in their game with Gilbert in Winsted on Saturday, which will weaken the eleven some, there is no reason why the Waterbury players should not defeat Gilbert de- cisively. The players are not doing much practice but all will appear at the field tomorrow afternoon SO as to have at least one days good work An effort will be made to get Caesar to accompany the boys to Winsted. Although he is fast man, he has not come out for practice and has only played in one game. that against Naugatuck High in this city.

At Los Angeles Charley Neary, the Milwaukee lightweight, was knocked out in the second round Tuesday night by George Memslc of Chicago, in what was scheduled to be 20- round contest. Neary was knocked down with right swing to the jaw, but arose after taking the count of five. An instant later, in fierce mix-up, in the center of the ring, Memsic caught his opponent on the jaw with left swing, and Weary was counted out. He was up immediately after the count of 10, but appeared groggy, and evidently could not have continued.
