Criminals Power Over Animals.

Few criminals have possessed such
power over animals as did the Span
lard G~uevarra, who was executed some
years back in Newgate. England. for
the brutal murder of a woman on
Hampstead Heath. He caught and
tanned two rats SO that they would
come at his call and follow him about
anywhere. The mice, too, would come
running out OF their holes at the sound
of his voice.

Roof Gardens for Berlin.

1t Is proposed to introduce roof
gardens in Berlin. A good many doc
tors and professors are doing all they
can in favor of the scheme, and are
agitating for the gardens, particularly
in the narrower city thoroughfares.
The idea would not be difficult to
carry out, the houses being mostly all
of one height, and it is already pos
sible in many parts to walk from one
street to the next along a good broad
roof track.

ATTELL AND ROBSON
Will Be the Principals in a
Punchfest Tonight in the
Quaker City.

Philadelphia, Pa, April 3.-The are
ma of the National Athletic club is to
be the scene of an international cham
pionship fight tonight, and, as conse-
quence, the fight followers here are
on the tiptoe of expectation. Abe At
tell, featherweight champion of Amer
lea, Is to defend his title against Spike
Robson, the featherweight champion
of England. Attell, whose record dur
ing the past few years is an almost
unbroken string of victories, is nat
urally the favorite. Robson is some
thing of an unknown quantity on this
side, but those who have seen him in
action speak highly of his work.
The fight Is limited to six rounds
with no decision. If both fighters are
on their feet and in fair condition at
the end Of the go the result naturally
will be unsatisfactory, SO far as decid-
ing the international championship.
Both of the little fighters have been
training faithfully since the articles
were signed, and the word given out
at their respective training quarters is
to the effect that each Is in the pink Of
condition. At noon today, according
to the articles of agreement, they
weigh in at 1924 pounds. The club ex-
poets large crowd ON hard to see
the mill, including delegations from
New York and other out-of-town
points.

NORTH OAK0TAN IS
A GENTLEMAN
AND BOXER
Fargo Boy Takes Well With
Twin City Sports-Has Done
Some Good Work.

The following appeared in the St.
Paul Dispatch regarding r. H. Gratias
of Fargo.
"R. H. Gratias, known as the Saxon
Demon" is attracting attention around
the Twin Cities of late.
1.-THE idea that a wrestler may be a
modest and quiet gentleman is start
ling one in these days of press agents
and cheap advertising. 1t is therefore,
refreshing and worth while to meet
q mat artist who can converse few
pronoun to death.
This Is the kind of wrestler R.
H. Gratias, the young North Dakota
boy is. He has been wrestling in the
Twin Cities under the euphonious and
terrifying title of The Saxon Demon
He ought to discard that name. 1t is
a misnomer. He has none of the ear
marks of demon of any kind. He
is mild hammered youth who would
be overlooked in a crowd. l confess
that was surprised when he dropped
in to see me. He was certainly a new
specimen in the line of professional
athletes. He did not start in by an
nouncing his name in loud voice
He quietly handed over his card.
HE didn't squirt quid of tobacco
juice against the radiator and begin
reeling off his record, or issuing a
monumental def to all mankind. In
fact he didn't do any talking at all.
What found out about him l had to
draw out by hard pumping.
In talking of match that he had
won he said, "Of course, you must con-
slider that he was not in good condi-
ton and l was at my best. couldn't
throw him is he was in good shape
How many wrestlers are there who are
aa frank and honest in their talk as
that?
young Gratias is % years old and
weighs us pounds. He has been wrest-
ling but two years. He never took a
lesson. What he knows of the game
he picked up by experience. He came
down to Minneapolis few weeks ago
and demanded a chance to show what
he could do. He was put up against
Carl Mattsson and offered a chance, if
he could prevent Mattsson from throw
ing him. He held his own for an hour
and half and neither man got fall.
Then he was taken on to give nightly
exhibitions agreeing to throw all COM
ers. He put Carl Mattsson on the mat
in short order.
"How good he is as a wrestler or
what future he may have 1 do not
know. was simply impressed by his
quietness. modesty and by his CONVEX
sation. He used good language, did
not talk loud and managed to get
through an hour of talk without in
dulging in any profanity. He may get
over these little idiosyncracies. He
probably will If he continues at the
wrestling game. II he falls into the
hands of the right kind of manager
he ought to make good. It is much
easier, however. to fall into the hands
OF fake manager. At any rate it
was pleasure to meet with fellow
who followed game which used to
be SO honorable and has of late be-
come SO generally disreputable, who
ie on the square and who is a real
gentleman. l wish him luck.

WILL Be A BANNER
YEAR FOR THE
TURF
Several Things Brought to
Light as Result of First
Races Pulled Off.

Washington. April 3.-Four things
of importance to the turf world were
shown during the six days of racing
here:
That Horace E. is not horse of
class" and will not be dominant
factor in 3-year-old events this sea-
son: that Jockey Miller rides with
such short stirrups that he has little
or no control over his mounts; that
the 2-year-old crop of colts and fillies
is the best seen in years and last but
not least. this season promises to be
the banner one in the matter of at
tendance at the Metropolitan courses.
During the opening weeks racing
there have been many disappointments
and surprises, but the greatest of all
was the miserable showing made by
Horace E. So much had been said
regarding this horse this spring that
race-goers longed to see him race.
They expected to find a colt that had
developed in both height and substance
and that he would give promise of
enough greatness in his races here to
hold forth hopes that he would be the
winner of the Carter handicap.
But turfmen were doomed to disap-
pointment. The winters rest fur
nished no beneficial results to the son
of Bannock Burn. He is not much
larger than a pony and in appearance
Is not so lusty as some horses of his
own age that have raced all winter.
Paul ]. Rainey, the young million
aire of Cleveland purchased Horace
E. for $4,000. So far he has not
earned $500 for his new owner.
Horace E. is a horse of immense
speed but he cannot carry it beyond
five furlongs in good company.
He is not of the caliber of a Carter
handicap winner.
Now that Horace E. has proved such
an utter and lamentable failure the
Rainey brothers will depend more on
De Mond for early victories than they
had mapped out in their schedule of
the seasons campaign. Whether De
Mond will be Carter handicap star
ter is problematical. Well informed
friends of the stable say he is being
prepared for early stakes at Belmont
park.
The suspension of Walter Miller is
approved generally. Horsemen say
that Miller fouled and that the pun
ishment imposed upon him by Steward
Belmont was not too severe.

MAR00NS TO REPORT
Winnipeg Pennant Chasers
Will Gather in Minneapolis
on April 20.

Winnipeg. Man, April 3.-Two
weeks from Saturday the Maroons
will report in Minneapolis. This is
two days earlier than the date first
set, the change having been made in
order that game may be played with
the Toozes, strong semi-profession-
al team of the Twin Cities. It is ex-
pected that enough of the leaguers
will have practice prior to reporting
to enable Manager Herr to put a
strong nine in the field.
Luderus, the first baseman, and
"Chesty" Cox, outfielder, are both re-
ceiving the benefit of preliminary
work with fast company. Luderus is
filling in with the Milwaukee Ameri-
can association team at his home
town, while Cox is working with
Omaha.
It has been reported that the Ma
rooms would not play at Happyland
this year, but this is denied by local
club officers, who say that their con-
tract at the big pleasure resort reads
for four years.
"Doc" Voss has sent in his signed
contract. He will again be reserve
catcher and utility man.

WILL GO 10 ENGLAND.
May Sutton Win Try to Regain tn,
Tennis Championship.

New York, April S.-May G. Sutton.
Of Pasadena, CAL, whose metoric ca
reer startled the lawn tennis world two
years ago when she captured the ma
tional and International champion
ships, has accepted the invitation of
Mrs. Barger Wallace to play in the
indoor tournament to be held at the
st. Nicholas rink here, beginning on
April 10.
Miss Sutton's acceptance settles be-
yond doubt that she will go to England
again this summer in an effort to re.
gain the international title which she
lost to Miss Dougless last year. In
the interim between the indoor tourna-
ment and her departure for Europe in
May she will enter all of the Eastern
tournaments which will serve as ex-
cellent practice and at the same time
give her admirers an opportunity to
see her play.
This will be her first appearance
In New York and coming at this time
on the eve Of the opening of the out
door season. more than usual interest
centers in the special matches which
has been arranged at the rink in which
she will compete against some of the
ranking men players.
