DR. Hibbard the family physician, We're
Mrs Higgins, Josephine Higgins, a
daughter, and Harry, a son. @ n, Hig
gins, son, is in Redlands, Cal. He, too,
is seriously ill.,
Mr.. Higgins for years had been af-
tiicted by heart trouble. After he had
entered upon his work as governor of
the state Mr.. Higgins was warned by
Dir il. q. Janeway Of New York Of a
serious organic difficulty in the heart,
but no effort was relaxed and no duty
was left unperformed which Mr. Hig-
gins believed essential to the faithful
discharge Of the trust reposed in him
by the people
When the only official duty which re-
manned for him to perform was TO assist
in the inauguration Of his successor as
governor, he firmly resisted the impor-
tunites of his family, his friends and his
physicians to spare himself, and went
to Albany TO take part in the ceremonies.
This last devoted act Of what he deemed
his bounden duty undoubtedly shortened
his days BY precipitating symptoms that
otherwise might have been forestalled.
The funeral services will be held on
Friday. February Is, at p. M, at the
higgins homestead in this city, The
services viii be conducted By the Rev.
James W. Ashton, D. D.. rector Of st.

was vestryman for over twenty years.

occasion be devoid of all ostentation.

Go through the list. from Adam to

the big noises have received their
bumps at one time or another.
Ned Hanlon has always been given
credit for having developed the two
greatest ball teams in history-the
B1ltmorcs and Brooklyns.
He has been looked upon as the man
who made McGraw, Kelley, Jennings

they made him, but the evidence IA

The order named represents the way

owing to the failure of this team year

now.

The chances are that the series will
not be confined to Chicago this fall
The Athletics look strong enough at
this time to win the American League
pennant. but a lot of accidents may &C.

WILL NOT BE JEFFRIES.
Not Decided Who Will Officiate AS
Referee at Cans Britt Bout.

Big jim JcffrieS has not been invit-
ed to witness the Gans-Britt bout from
the ring. He is not the choice Of either
of the fighters for the important office
of referee, and if Britt has his way Bill
~ Welch will be the third man in the
ring when Joseph and James Edward
meet to exchange courtesies of the.
roDed arena on Sept. g.
While JeffrieS would show no favor
itism. there have been some little Diff
fcrerces between the retired champions
and the Britts which make him sec-1
Ond or third choice with James Ed
ward and his willy brother manager,
Wilus. j
From Cans there would be no CONF
plant against Jeffries sharing the
roped arena with the contestants, but
as Joe is not looking for decision in
his encounter he naturally believes that
any man Of experience can tell when
the black paw gets home its knockout.s
But inaSmuch as "Billy' WEIGH has
figured so often in important contests
in San Francisco it is but natural that
| the Brtts prefer him as judge and of
course, docile "Joe" has no objections
to anything that is likely to come be-
tween him and 4 piece of bacon. ~.
There are other reasons why WEIGH
has the call over JEFF but these rea-
sons are related to the political side Of
| the sport only.
The Gans-B Britt contest will be held
| in baseball park, and as Acting May
| or TAYLOR raised no objections when
| the permit was issued there is little
| Likelihood of any complications arising
| to prevent the bout. The ring is TO be
raised IN the open air, and canvas avn
| ings will run around two sides Of il,
| under which circus seats will be erect

| which made trouble Mt the BrittNel-
| son scrap, necessitating the refusal or
admission to many ticket holders
| through overcrowding of the building.
| the overflow can be let into the field
without danger of overcrowding or OF
| fire.
Britt is so confident that he can WIZ
Cans that he is passing up good mon
ey. AT least, that is what he says. IL
does look as though there may be the

The great advantage. the Athletics
will have is n long stretch of games on

won in this way. A year ago New YORK
probably would have been winner
