. l didn't want to take any chances on my Kitchen Range. so l have come to you for a GIenwood."

So many people have said this to us that 1t shows the way Glenwood users are talking about Glenwood ranges.
 5000 FLEETWOOD RANGES SOLD
 IN WATERBURY.
 From the very commencement tho Glenwood Range was a success. It succeeded because the castings were of the finest quality, that the best iron only was used in the construc- ton and that they are made up heav- fer than other ranges were being made up.
 THE CONSTRUCTION IS THE
 SAME TO-DAY.
 The Glenwood Ranges are the heaviest on the market. The same iron is put into them to-day, just the same as when they first came out.
 We have often been told by peo- pie who have had Glenwood Range for the last twenty years that It bakes just as well to-day as the first day they had 1t and that 1t always has been satisfactory in every re- spect.
 THE FLEETWOOD IS THE BEST
 BAKING RANGE ON THE MAR
 KET.
 The fue construction and the sys- tenn of drafts makes them easy to control and does away with the guessvork of whether the baking is coming out right or not Glenvoods are sure bakers.

EFFORTS TO CURB
THE BETTING EVIL
Special Dispatch to The Star


NEW YORK, March 3l.-From n so,,.oo
very closely In touch with the moving
spirits in the Jockey Club 1t is learned that
tracks will result in severe measures tn
curb plunging this season. The stewards
at present feel that no haIf-hearted action
will suffice to eliminate the feature that
in the last few years has been responsible
for creating sentiment against the sport.
Those who have offended In the past are
not numerous, nor Is their support of rae
ing considered essential to its prosperity
To these men the order will go out in plain
language that the days of sensationalIy
large wagers have passed, and that In fu-
ture their operations must conform with
those of men who find that small bet
only Is necessary TO add zest to the pleas
ure OF witnessing a race.
Big wagering by men who made little
effort to conceal the extent OF their opera
lions, and, In some cases, exaggerated the
amounts, began at the Saratoga meeting
four years ago. Previous TO that time the
turf had had its plungers, but they were of
the type who preserved discreet silence.
The annual western invasion of 1902
brought out several big bettors, some OF
whom are still prominent figures on the
eastern turf. They wagered thousands on
race. and by sheer weight OF capital were
enabled TO recoup losses sustained as
result of following poor advice and poor
Judgment Last fall coterie OF westerners
were credited with getting even for bad
season by three killings of great magnitude
According to the same authority, the
somewhat puzzling assertion that the
Jockey Club will take steps TO make book
making difficult" means that the
stewards are considering the advisability
of ordering the rings cleared OF the high
stools used by the layers. II this action
Is taken the layers will all be obliged to
stand up. as the small fry have done In the
past Such move would take from the
ring the appearance of providing accommo-
dations for the bookmakers. Opponents
OF racing have always pointed out that
the layers were catered to by the track
arrangements. The absence of stools would
undoubtedly add to the discomfort OF busy
layers and might be construed as an effort
to discourage the fraternity.

spare space in any floor to be used for this
purpose
In front will be anchored a fifty-foot
11oat, which will be Illuminated at night.
This VIII be large enough for a number or
canoeists to embark or land at once.
The Ground Leased.
lease has been taken of about 10. 600
feet Of this ground, with an option of pur-
chase at S1.50 a foot. But In order to en-
tirely divorce the sport from the financial
feature of the enterprise enough capital
has been enlisted from those who wish to
encourage the sport to put up the building
and secure the ground and thus permit the
club to take possession soon without any
of the delays and disappointments that are
always incidental TO the work of securing
to such an undertaking.
Subscriptions are now to be taken with
the understanding that the rate per year
will not exceed that usually charged but
exactly what 1t will be the club itself will
determine. So sure are the gentlemen who
are backing the building of the popularity
of the enterprise that they are proceeding
without loss of time, and are this week re-
ceiving estimates from contractors so that
the building will be ready for occupancy
early in May. Its capacity will be over 800
canoes. and II is desired to take care of at
least 100 canoes in the first story by May /
There will be no plastering to do, so there
win be no delay from that cause.
Applications for club membership can be
made at Tappan's or Spalding's.

NELSON MATCHED
TO FIGHT HERRERA
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March S1-Tom
O'Rourke. owner of the New Tuxedo Club,
Ting Nelson and Aurelio Herrera are to
fight twenty rounds at Essington, Pa, on
April %. 1t means that eastern fight fol-
lowers viii have chance to witness the
first long battle that has been held on this
side of the continent for long time, and
the meeting of the lightweight champion
and the hard hitting Mexican is sure to be
a memorable one.
Articles will be drawn up for Nolan and
Nelson to sign. and they can hardly refuse
as O'Rourke has granted all they asked for
A SIS, 900 purse was offered first, but Nolan
demanded $40, 900. A compromise at SIT, 600
was tried, but that has been raised to
$40, ooo
One hundred and thirty-two pounds at 6
the club win not permit any rtngside weigh
ing
Nelson and Herrera met twice In Butte
Mont, In 1904, and both fights went twenty
rounds Nelson got the decision In both
but they were two of the hardest fights he
ever had In the first Herrera came so
near putting Nelson out that the latter
never thinks OF his experience without a
sigh Of relief
Their meeting In the east will put a
damper on the plans OF the Pacific Athletic
Club OF Los Angeles to hold three nights La
May. one Of which was to have been be-
tween the Dane and the Mexican. But 1t
also means the long -looked-for revival OF
2o-round contests within reach Of this city.

WHERE TO DIM.

is next again. Then the catcher tries TO
conceal his signs and sometimes Is able TO
accomplish this If he is aware Of the loca-
ton OF the station of the man with the
glass. According to Donahue. the Louis
vile club appeared In Philadelphia one day
and the result was four runs ana man
on third off five balls pitched by Cunning
ham. That was enough for Fred Clarke,
who was then managing the Colonies;
A conference was held, after which Nor
gan Murphy's buzzer remained silent. The
Louisville crowd got busy themselves, While
Philadelphia was helpless. The score was
tied in the eighth inning and a small boy
brought word from Murphy that the catch
er was giving absolutely no signs. That
gave the bunch idea. They watched
Cunningham and found out that he was
signaling his own curve with smile. The
Phllies Immediately began to do things
and won the game with ease.
Jack Warner, then catching for New
YORK saws that he tried mouth signs, eye
signs and every other imaginable means
TO delude Murphy, even getting the third
baseman to give the signals In one game.
He confesses he never fooled the Phtladel-
phia man for any length OF time, however.
One Ruse That Fooled Murphy.
There was only plan that really had
Murphy buffaloed to any extent, and Rob
inson of Baltimore was the man who in
vented that Robbie would get down low
on the ground and place his palms to-
gether II he allowed the pitcher TO see
the light between them for an instant IL
meant the curve. Otherwise, or course, II
was the straight bali. The pitcher, TO get
the sign, would step out Of the straight line
to the club house and the streak Of light
was invisible to Murphy and his glass. The
Philadelphia bunch, however, solved this
proposition eventually by placing a player
in the grandstand behind the catcher. He
caught the flash, signaled to Murphy and
The bureau was again operation.
OF course, there have been schemes ana
schemes to keep the location OF the yaTi-
Gus signal bureaus a secret. In one town
where a park backed up to an old barn,
right against the fence, a part of the barn
was fitted up with holes for the glasses and
a fine design painted on the centerheld
fence. 1t was ostensibly an advertise
ment for a brand of clothing, and the cen
terpiece was a man of heroic proportions
From his coat pocket emerged just little
white piece of handkerchief.
This handkerchief was the office. By an
ingenious contrivance the handkerchief
would merge into the back of the rest OF
the suit for one Sign, while when IL reap
peared the batter would understand that
the opposite ball had been slgnaled by the
catcher.
Then the barn burned down and the
property changed hands, concealment OF
the service being no longer possible.
