rant by Detective Sergeant John Huff
and, when brought before Recorder

bail in the sum of $500 for the grant
jury, on three charges.
Some months ago Wallowitz, and
Ludwig Kucharcik bought house al
80 Grand street, and one family liv
ed upstairs and the other below. Fol
a time things went along we'll, anG
then trouble resulted. The join
owners managed to get along withOu
"A fight until about a week ago. Ont
night Ludwig was coming into The
yard, returning frcm his work at the
Raritan Copper Works, when he was
met by Mike, who according to wha
was told last night, Informed him
that he could not enter. An argu-
ment took place, and Mike hit Lud-
wig over the head with big piece
of wood, 1t is alleged.
While the battle was going on
Mrs. Braunslaw Kucharcik, and Pau
Kucharcik, the wife and cousin ol
the man who was being beaten, ar
ricved on the scene. Ludwig haC
been put out of business, and it /.
alleged that Mike then started fol
Mrs. Kucharcik and gave her kicl

that he had done up two people
Mike, it is declared, made a dash fol
Paul Crack, and the uiece of wood
struck Paul's head, and he received 9
painful cut.
In court last night the Kucharciks
were represented by Joseph e. Strick
er, while WallowitZ was represented
by Stephen F. Somogyi. Lawyer
Somogyi put in plea of not guilt!
for his client, and this caused grea
laugh in the court room, as the two
men who had been hit over the head
by. Wallowitz were on hand, and the
tops of their heads were covered will
huge strips of court plaster.
On the charge of hitting Ludwig
Mike was held in $500. Because he
kicked Mrs. Kuchareik he was held IN
500, and on the charge of trying tt
put Paul out of business he was held
in another 800 Bonds were fur

At noon today Ludwig appeared a
police headquarters and told Sergean
Dunham, that Mike, was not behav

worse. The police will investigate.

STILL TALKING ABOUT
THE "SPIT" BALL

Is the spit ball injurious to the salary
wing of a twirler? That it has been the
making of several pitchers who now shine
prominently in the ranks Of the big leagues
Is certainty. There are those who con-
tend that it has bad effect on the arm,
while others claim it in no way affects a
pitcher. Here Is what Bill Dineen Of the
Boston Americans thinks of the spit ball:
Il used the spit ball two years ago with
great success. and I have been two years
trying to get over its effects. l attribute
my showing of the last two seasons to its
bad effect. Harry Howell is one of the few
pitchers who uses it almost constantly, and
never complains of a sore arm. Ed Walsh
is one of the pitchers who jumped into
fame in a minute by it's use.
The batters hate to hit against the spit"
ball. and the infieders of team with a
spit ball pitcher on the firing line dread
1t just as much If you ask Bobby Wallace
the cause Of a number of his wild throws
last summer when Howell was working he
will tell you it was due to the slippery con-
ditions OF the ball Such a question would
bring similar answers from the infieders of
any other club.

Chicago was just getting into the game ana

the fourth game of the series was ra" ana

that continued until about ten minutes pc,

crowd was a small one and no one, not even
the Chicago players, anticipated a game

Band Music for Deaf,
Pictures for Blind |!
Special Correspondence Of The Star.

LONDON, February 20. 1907.
DOPLAR'S now famous guardians, who
provided broughams for paupers and
encouraged bridge playing among the
out of works under their charge, have just
been accused Of various other ludicrous ex-
trayaeances. One of these takes the form OF
a school Of marine engineering, which Is
said to be now carried on in Poplar for the
benefit of only two students at cost Of
5000 a year.
This extraordinary case is cited by Frank
Goldsmith, who, with George Alexander
the actor, is a candidate for the London
county council on a municipal reform
ticket, and other allegations of municipal
extravagances are forthcoming daily.
At the Oak Lodge School for the Deaf In
South London 1t Is said that a band was
hired at considerable expense to play at a
recent distribution Of prizes to the deaf
pupils The motive Is unknown. 1t may
have been to tantalize the unfortunate stu
dents, or 1t may have been designed to
impress upon them that there are some ad.
vantages in being deaf.
Providing pictures for the blind Is a pecu-
liar form of philanthropy undertaken by
municipal school boards. Practically every
school for the blind in England, and there
are a great many, are said to be decorated
quite profusely with good pictures which.
taken collectively, represent no small
amount of money.

WOULD RAISE TIE WEIGHTS.
Difficulty Experienced in England Of
Getting Good Jockeys,

In view of the number Of heavyweight
American jockeys who have been obliged
to seek engagements abroad, because Of
inability to keep down to the low scale of
weights In use in majority of events on
this side of the Atlantic, 1t is rather sur
prislng to note a desire in England for a
still higher scale of weights than at pres
ent in vogue. Yet no less an authority
than the Sportsman finds that the present
English scale caters to immature riders to
too great an extent, and advocates an in
crease in the leading races at least.
The Sportsman says: With the Increase
in the number of horses in training at
Newmarket and elsewhere, there Is no
commensurate increase in the number Of
steady, respectable and able horsemen. OF
horsemen who can scale at ninety-one
pounds the number is few indeed. We also
find decided deficiency of jockeys who
can go to scale at or about ninety-eight
pounds. In fact, the lowness of the scale
makes itself felt all through to what is now
considered the maximum weight. With
the difficulty of obtaining jockeys to ride
them, the present state of things should
certainly cease TO exist
That a horse gallops better in the hands
OF Jockey who has thoroughly learned
his trade profession than 1t does In those
of an inexperienced boy goes without say
ing. and in the short races of the present
day. in which quickness in getting away Is
of the services of clever professional in
the saddle is certainly in a far better posi-
ton than he who has to rely on the efforts
of a willing but half-trained lad.
With horseman in the saddle, one who
has served his apprenticeship and is thor
oughly acquainted with his profession, how
differently are things managed. He seldom
/ gives the starter any trouble. occasionally
| with a nervous or eXcitable horse he may
! cause delay, but these are events thorough
| ly excusable; he is yet always on the alert.
Those who often walk down to the post
! few horsemen who know their business.
| The principal difficulty against an in
| crease of good jockeys is the fact that
| owing to the hattering handicaps which
I are the rule. and the lowness of the weight
| scale. so few of those who are apprenticed
to trainers are suited by nature to follow
1 their profession when they arrive at 9
! mature age. AS boys, many are naturally
| small and OF pygmy proportions but how
| often il is when mans estate is reached
| they NIL out, and are no longer able to e
| 10 scale at anything approaching II:
pounds IL the minimum scale for handi
caps and other races was raised even four
teen pounds, it would go long way towart
increasing the number of frst-class jockeys
and in due course il would show its benef
| with owners, as then they need not intrus
| heavily backed horses, who are real goot
| things for certain races, to any other bu
| experienced horsemen, while the ride
| whose only recommendation Is his pygm,
| proportions, would be banished from thu
| turf forever.
