NOTED CANADIAN SPORTSMAN
IN TOWN
George Allen, for Twenty Years Menu
Der of One Lacrosse Team, Says
Baseball Is Popular in
Canada

George l.. Allen. one of the most promi-
nent lacrosse players and sportsmen of
Western Ontario, Canada, is in the city
on a short visit, and it is possible that
he will be persuaded to stay over and
see the little affair Friday night between
Jimmy Burns and Montana Kid. Allen
would like very much to witness the go,
as he is an old friend of that estimable
young man. Tommy Burns, who is called
by his boosters the heavyweight
champ
No matter what they call Tommy,
George Allen remembers the time when
pounds and was more than ordinarily
useful as a lacrosse player. Up in On
tario Mr.. Brusso used to peel down to his
bearslxins and WELD the bat with the best
of them. He chased the festive rubber
over the frozen field with speed and skill,
but every time some one got In his way
Tommy's bump of combativeness would
rise and he would rudely smite the Of
fender.
AS rule the lacrosse sharks. when in
terfered with by an opponent, come back
with slap at the other mans playing l,l
his implement of warfare and tear into IL
with his fists. This busted up many
show and finally Mr.. Brusso was persona
lacrosse games-with the opposition.
This ali happened on the Mt. Forest
team of which Allen was captain. IWen-
ty years on one team may seem long
time to most sports. but that is the length
of service Allen has seen in the colors OF
the Mt. Forest. organization.
II have been with the Mt. Forest team
for twenty years" said Mr.. Allen. and
from the looks of things l will still be
there a few years hence. Lacrosse Is
great game and if we only had your eli
mate 1t would be greater still 1t takes a
good hot sun to bring out the best that
is in a man, and l should think that more
lacrosse would be played here.
Baseball Is Popular
Baseball is cutting into things little
bit up our way. In Toronto, which sports
a team in the Eastern league, the people
are crazy over the American national
game, and few days before l left nome
the attendance at one of the contests was
over 5000. Pretty good for Canadian
city, don't you think?"
Mr. Allen, who is past president OF
the Canadian Lacrosse association: Whlch
probably has larger membership tnan
any other athletic organization on the
continent, will proceed from here to van
couver, where he will referee lacrosse
game between the Western Ontar1os ana
the Vancouver team. The Ontario BUNCH
is on its way to Australia, where the
members will struggle for high honors
with the best teams in the antipodes'

held in Trenton. 1t was Senator Dry
den's intention to address the Republi-
can 'znembers of the legislature and
set forth the reasons, in his opinion,
why he should be reelected to the
senate.
Senator Dryden said he had hoped
at this meeting to be able TO convince
the eight Republicans who refused to
be bound by the action of the party
caucus that their opposition to him
is based upon mistaken grounds. The
speech which the senator intended to
deliver before the Republican caucus
at Trenton will be made public.
In explaining the senator's with
drawal from the senatorial race, his
private secretary made the following
statement
Senator Dryden concluded that a
continuance of the deadlock would
tend to injure the party and the state.
Accordingly he formally announced
his intention to withdraw. Senator
Dryden is not dangerously i'll. His
condition is such, however, that his
physicians and family consider it of
vital Importance that he should be re-
lieved at once of any further strain
upon his strength, and that complete
rest from all cares is absolutely neces-
sary."

the trial-and Immediately after this
last member of the trial panel had
been sworn in Justice Fitzgerald or
dered an adjournment of court until
1870 o'clock Monday morning.
District Attorney Jerome, who has
been contending for the removal of
one of the men now in the jury box,
but who has failed to gain the consent
of the defendants counsel to a change,
was still reluctant to begin the actual
proceedings without a further oppor-
tunity to plead with Thaw's attorneys.
At his request, therefore, Justice Fitz-
gerald ordered all talesmen who have
not yet been examined to be in court
Monday morning ready for jury SER
vice in case any are needed. Mr.. Je-
rome then announced that if there
should be no change in the situation in
the meantime, the state would proceed
to place all its direct testimony before
the jury at the Monday morning ses-
sion. The defense was notified to be
in readiness to proceed by Monday af-
ternOon.
Assistant District Attorney Garvan
will make the opening address for the
prosecution. His remarks will be very
brief, occupying perhaps not more than
20 minutes. The state will then intro
duce only such witnesses as are neces-
sary to prove that Stanford White was
shot and killed by Harry w. Thaw on
the Madison Square roof garden the
night of June % last.
In announcing that the introduction
will not require more than one session
of the court. Mr.. Jerome is evidently
of the opinion that the cross-examina-
tion of the states witnesses as to the
actual events associated with the trag-
edy may not be very extensive.
From the questions which have so
persistently been put to the talesmen
by Thaw's attorneys as to any preju-
dice againsta defense of insanity. it is
at last generally conceded that a plea
of emotional insanity will be the main
reliance of the young defendant. This
probably will lead to a cross-question-
ing of the states witnesses as to any
popularity they may have noticed in
Thaws conduct the night of the trag.
edy. in which event the conclusion of
the states direct testimony may take
1ongen than is now anticipated.
