WANTED NO TROUBLE.

New York, Jan 23.-What threat ened to be serious obstacle to the amicable arranging of the National and American league schedules for the coming playing season was yester day brushed aside by Frank Farrell, owner of the New York Americans. According to agreement between the leagues, the Highlanders are entitled to the opening date in this city, the Giants having had the day last sea- son. The National league fixed April 12 as it's opening day, and President Ban Johnson decided to have the American opening on April IA.
 Figuring on thsee days, Presidents Johnson and Pulliam drew drafts of their schedules, and Pulliam sched- uled the Giants to open tine season m Brooklyn on April 12. The Highland CTS will open April 14 with Boston at American League park. About ohe same state of affairs came up two years ago, when the Giants opened in Brooklyn on the same day the High landers opened their season on Wash ington Heights.
 Johnson objected to Pulliam's schedule. but Farrell waived any rights he may have had in sne matter rather than have repetition of the unpleasant pickering of two years ago. and the Giants will open the sea- son with Donovan's Doubtfuls. at Washington park on April F..

THE PUGILISTS
POLICE WON IT
Stopped a Battle When One of the ,Pugs Was Almost Out-Re-
 suits of Other Fights.

Chelsea, Mass, Jan 23.-Benny Yan- ger looked a sure winner in the twelfth round here last night, when the police stepped in and stopped his fight with Kid Goodman. No decision was given by the referee.
 Goodman was bleeding freely at the end of the eleventh round.
 Early in the twelfth round Yanger sent crashing right to Goodman's jaw. He followed with hard right to the stomach. Goodman retaliated with feebly right to head. Yanger then sent left to eye and right to stomach, again left to face and then a perfect rain of blows on Goodman's face, right swings and left swings. Goodman bleeding badly. The bell sounded as Yanger sent another right to stomach.
 Here the police did their work, and the great crowd which filled the club house yelled in anger as the fighters left the ring.

tion of being the banner ski town of
 this country. It is the headquarters
 of the national association, and the
 scene each year of a great national
 tournament. Then next event of this kind
 will be held on Washington's birthday,
 February 22, to which President
 Roosevelt has been invited, and at
 which interest in the sport throughout
 the country will be greatly augmented. Although urgent duties at Washington
 will probably prevent the president
 from witnessing the thrilling demon.
 strations of rough riding on the mini.
 ature toboggans, the fact that records are sure to be shattered, has already engaged the attention of residents of broad belt of country, and thousands
 of eyes are now fixed on Ishpeming awaiting the exciting scenes that will bo enacted at the big mid-winter festi. val. Among the Norwegian element interest is naturally keen, and at points as far south as Stoughton, Wis, where . skiing club has been formed. plans for excursions of Scandinavians are being planned. But the sport is by no means confined to this national. ity. Tn the northern towns especially interest has been devloped among all classes who love to witness contests of dexterity and courage, while the strong and hardy young manhood bred in that invigorating cline is furnished many experts who will try conclusions with one another in daring leaps from the slide and bump on February 22. Skis are closely allied to snow shoes They are like a toboggan split in half and let loose to leap in the air. The motion is more like flying than anything else. The Norwegians use the skis to get over the immense snow drifts common to their country, and it is there that the sport has reached its greatest prominence. In lieu of a Norwegian snowdrift and its corresponding hil. locks, the ski jumper has a high to. began slide built for him upon an eminence at a given distance from the leaping point to give the impetus nee. esary for flying through the air. He comes down the incline at a terrific speed, while the spectators hold their breaths. Over 10000 persons attend. ed the tournament last season, and there were 53 expert riders from all over the country who took part in the contest. The Ishpeming ski club is making extensive preparations for the tournament. which promises to surpass in point of attendance and brilliant work on the part of the performers any previous tournament ever held in the United States. Judging from re. ports now being received from ski clubs and riders of the northwest. there will be not less than 75 entries.
