 Another fight for which a cer-
 tain part of this section has an un- lenviable reputation occurred late Saturday evening on James street when six stalwart fellows swung their fists with good effect for several minutes. Notwithstanding that the
 blows fell thick and fast, there was
 no need of physician. The rem nants of couple of what were once Derby hats and two coats were to be seen at the scene of the listing bee. The fight is said to have started be- cause of three foreigners following three girls.
 -In all probability unless the teams of the Junior Amateur Base- ball league decide to refrain from roofing at the games played at Cor coran's lot. other grounds will have to be secured. Yesterday during the sixth inning of the Pioneer-Golden Star contest, the game was brought to an end by Oficer Bergin who said that a complaint had been made that the rooters were too noisy. There was no quarrels Or arguments at the grounds. but there was so much rivalry between the teams that when good play was made the crowd let loose. Because of the nearness of the hospital to the ball grounds, the managers are under the impression that they might be asked to find new grounds. The matter will be dis cussed at the meeting this week and the managers will undoubtedly agree to ask the spectators not to do any roofing and the games might not be interfered with.

Both teams desired that Umpire George Tiernan should give a de- cision but he refused to do 50, so it is now up to the managers.

The stench ar.s- ing from the pill was the worst that ever permeated the air of Brooklyn and was in class by itself. Talk about crematories and the odor from the burning of carcasses; they were fragrant in comparison with the smell which filled the store of the jeweler and is still there to some ex- tent, as 1t is almost impossible to get 1t out of place. Auct!oneer Botelle. whose lingo is as picturesque IS the snow white locks which wave to and fro on his chin. acknowledges that it takes considerable to feaxe him. but declared that he had to quit when his nostrils became full of the highly scented air which filled the store after the odor bomb was exploded. The men in question were so indignant because of the trick played on them that they have been playing the part of "sleuths." to get clue of the per- petrator of the contemptible trick. Meanwhile the fellows who were fin on the affair. not Inside the store,
