seer ]. G. Speicher, who was sum.
marily expelled from membership
in Zion although he was one of the
triumvirate next to John Alex.

City. He is saying nothing and is

of his case by the first apostle,
Dowie took snap judgment" on
Speicher, it is said.
Here is the inside" story of the
Speicher case. 1t seems that a
cablegram reading about as follows
was sent to Dowie at jamaica:
Have you any objection to mar
riage of Cotton?"
Dowie is said to have marked
this message mo" in red ink and
passed it over to his secretary, who
interpreted it as meaning that the
flrst apostle had no objection. and
who wrote a reply accordingly.
Overseer Speicher asked Cotton
II permission had been given, and
being satisfied on that score, mar
ried the couple. Dowie's edict soon
after, expelling Speicher and the
Cottons, stunned them. Speicher
attempted to explain by cable. but
the few words that could be put
ON the wire made things worse, il
anything. So he Is waiting.
a 1t Is stated that Dowie really
meant his secretary to reply that

YOU KNOW IRA.

J. Ira Davis, who had considerable to say ill this league several years ago, writes to the Sporting News as follows: T have beep weighing mail all winter for Uncle Sam between Merced and Stockton, California. Say, it's a shame to take the money. Why, I get on the train at Merced, weigh ten pounds of mail. mark it up ill the book and then rest for ten miles. Then I weigh two pounds more of mail and book it and rest ten miles more. Don't have to watch the ball or the bases or anything. It's the greatest snap I ever had. I'll umpire next sea- son. I expected to go on the National but I got cut out of that and so now guess it's the Western for mine. l never weighed so much before. Never expect to again. These mail-weighing snaps don't come to man more than once in a lifetime. Well. so long. it's time for me to take another rest

KID BETS ARRESTED.

When Kid Betts, the promoter If prize fights, alighted from the special train ill which he had smuggled abcut five hundred sports out of New York last night to see twenty round bat tie in Orangeburg, N. r.. he was seiZ- cd by five deputy sheriffs and was hustled out of the way before he lad time to make a murmur.
 The Kid had everything arranged for the twenty round fight between Kid Murphy and Willie Schumacher for the bantam weight championship and he had gathered together a biz crowd of fight fans to see it.
 This way, gentlemen" he began at the station, when the five minions of the law approached him. and after T brief argument in low tones they grabbed him and hurried him to a carriage which was driven rapidly away.
 The crowd did not seem to know what to do but one of Betts' partners made the announcement that since the officers were out of the way there would be no hindrance to the fight, so then went to the Orange County DTiv- ing park and at midnight everything was ready for the battle.
 In the meantime Kid Betts Ian. guished in Nyack, the county seat of Orange county.

BASKETBALL NOTES.

Imagine Gilbert telling Crosby to 20 and defeat Naugatuck. There is one thing in which the teams of the Waterbury High nave 1t on all ether schools in the state. The local fel- lows have always been ready to de fend their laurels and were never known to refuse to play when they were considered top notchers Win sted In a way cannot be censured tur not wishing to play any more games. but 1t should not try to crawl out of a contest by telling Crosby to go and get a reputation If Waterbury should defeat Naugztuck every day this week it is good betting that Gil- bert would not even then consent to a game.
 Tho Company F. team of Danbury recently defeated the All-waterbury basketball quintet. and now they do say that Danbury has . lcok-in for the state championship Looks as though panbury may gain other distinctions than that of state fair hon0rs.-Ncw Haven Palladium.

WRESTLING
READY FOR THE STROKE OF THE
 BELL.
Pickett and Speh Meet To-Night in Simonsville Club-0ther News
 of the Mat,

Everything is ready for the wrest- ling tournament in the Simonsville Athletic club tonight. One of the best cards that has ever been pulled off down there has been prepared. In the main contest Dan Pickett of this city and Frank Speh of Derby will do things to each other. If you want to see match with plenty of action and grueling, this is your chance. Speh believes he has made a cinch match, because he does not consider Pickett in hiss cfaes.- He is coming to Waterbury with plenty of backing and he expects to take away a whole lot of the local money. Pickett is as rugged and plucky grappler as ever tried for a wrestling hold. He has been coached thorough ly and carefully by John E. Kelly and he will go on the mat tonight with more confidence than ever of beating Speh. He will make the Derbyite extend himself and he ad- vises him to be in the pink of condi- tion for 1t will be a rip, smash. bang affair right from the tap Of the bell. There will be no love making in the contest.
 For the preliminaries, Manager Joe Lawlor has got two corkers. Young Dowd of the. North End and Young Darling of the South End will tackle each other in the first prelim- mary. The second one will bring to- gether Young German, that tough little bundle of muscle of the South End club, and the Young Turk" who has just got back from the south with many victories to his credit. These will be one-half hour each. The first preliminary will start at o'clock. The announce ment that will be made tonight, too, will please all who are present, and perhaps there will be many there who will want to send in their names when that announcement is made.

BASEBALL NOTES.

Hartford is said to be anxious to corral Carson Hodge, formerly of the Meriden and Holyoke teams, who is reported as having signed a contract with Sioux City. It is said that if Hartford wants Hodge very much it is believed that there won't be any difficulty in getting him as he is in favor of staying in the Connecticut league.
 Manager Fleming will change his address from Windsor Locks to Holy oke after Monday. Schincel, the Holy oke catcher. has refused to sign q contract and the club may exchange Baerwald. whom 1t secured from the Sioux City. team, for Hafford, the old Georgetown third baseman, who is now under contract with the Birm- irgffam, 'aialjHfha, club. 'nTnri -'fsnt :, Secretary J. H. Farrell of the Ma tional commission reports that Rube Eickers has been restored to grace. His case was brought up at the re- cent meeting of the Connecticut mag mates and at the suggestion of Presi- dent Madsen of Holyoke, Secretary ORourke wrote to Farrell that vlck- CTS was in good standing. Rube Is not pitching for Seattle, Washington. and has already pitched two winning games.
 Sam Kennedy must have known for some time that New London would buy him as he has secured player for that club. Sam has been working out at Philadelphia and during his work he run across the phenom whose name Is Joseph O'Rourke. Kennedy writes that O'Rourke Is a lightning infielder, can run like deer and will report in condition to fight a twenty round battle. Harry Long. the New London pitcher. started in to do light gym work yesterday. George Poll is one of the new pitchers signed by the Whalers.
 Johnny Kling, the star catcher of the Chicago Cubs. says he won't sign a contract for the salary offerei. Unless l. get an increase" King declares, ''I will retire from base ball. l will make no attempt to go to an outlaw league. It simply means more money or the simple life for me-"
 Lou Criger of the Boston Ameri- can team, who has been seriously III. was released from the hospital yes terday and ventured out on the streets in the sunshine for the first time yesterday afternoon. He is looking extremely thin and wan and his appearance is pitiful in compaTi- son to the rugged appearance Of the other players
 Earl Moore, the crack twirle. of the Cleveland baseball team, may never be able to play baseball again. Such was the statement of Dr Reese. He says the muscles of the pitchers left foot have been torn loose. allow ing the instep bone to drop down and making him fiatfooted. As Moore leans on his left foot when he feliv- CTS the ball to the batsmen. he will. Reese declares, be Of no use t5 the Cleveland team this year al least.
 It will be good news for the Fioi- yoke baseball fans. which body In eludes the entire populsce. to learn that Herman schineel is to be the target for Hoiyoke pitchers during the coming season. At a meeting of the club directors yesterday. matters between the catcher and the eirb were satisfactorily arranged. and he has agreed to remain for the season This means Of course that the direc- tors recognized the value of this hsrd-rorking and capable chap.

Brockton. March 29-Harvey Park er is working away busily in the ef- fort to put himself in prime condition for his wrestling bout with George Bothner. April 18th. in New York. There were busy scenes last night at his training quarters. Parker took on John J. Little. and the veterans worked out like two youths having fun at recess. It is evident that Par ker has lost none of his cunning and his speed is also notable.
 For other events there was some work done by Bob Butler and Roeber Reagan. and by James Little and st0ughton Bill Watson. All were in fine fe;tle and Reagan announced af- ter the trouble was over that he saw nothing Co 1t when Beell beat every body else but to tackle the boy him. self.

BOWLING
TWO MEN DROP FROM WOOSTER TOURNAMENT.
Jaeger Dissatisfied at Certain Ruling Will Not Compete-Match in
 Bridgeport To-Night.

The bowling tournament which has been on at the Wooster for some time will in all probability come to an end this evening when the four teams that are tied for first place will roll five strings each, and the team having the highest number of points will be declared the winner. There are five couples tied for first place, but it is understood thaS Jae ger and Elton will not compete, the former thinking that himself and his mate have not been given a square deal in the contest. Jaeger and El- ton were looked upon as sure winners after they defeateb rSfe er3eaf isfey brothers, but in the last few games they did not bowl their usually good scores, consequently they did not win with the ease they expected. Nevertheless they would undoubtedly have captured the rag only in the last series Curtiss and Itschner took their measure. Curtiss rolled his strings in the afternoon and got the high score of 660. Jaeger put in a protest, claiming that all should roll in the evening and he wanted Cur tiss' score thrown out. The manage ment refused to allow his protest ard Jaeger asserted that he would refuse to participate further in the tourna- ment He will not enter in the one man contest which will begin short ly, although he has the highest aver age in the present tourney. It is not known whether Elton will decide to roll since his partner will not compete. Jaeger and Elton were the favorites for tonight and their with drawal takes much interest out of the event. The teams that will roll tonight are Curtiss and Itschner, the BeardsIey brothers. Bostwick and kilburn, Malsch and Olsen.
