The strike OF the electricians went |
into effect last night at twelve O'Clock
and today no union men are employees
of the Feishacker interests except
at the power houses. The union

out that unless the company acceeded
to the demands of the men by MD

be ordered out.

CANS AND RYAN
MAY HOOK UP

CHICAGO, February FIT is reported
that Jack Noonan. matchmaker of the
Tonopah Athletic Club of Tonopah New.
has signed Tommy Ryan, the middle
weight champion, to fight Joe Cans the
lightweight title holder, finish battle
before his club on Labor day for a purse
of $4,000.
It is said that Noonan had hard work
getting Tommy to come to terms, but
finally landed Ryan's signature to meet
the co1ored boy. Cans had informed Moo
nan week ago that he would meet Ryan
if the latter would make 142 pounds the
afternoon of the fight While many do
not think that Tommy can reach this
mark. he has agreed to do SO.
A battle between Ryan and Cans should
prove one Of the best that has been held
for many a day. Both men are clever,
can hit with either hand like a mule, and
both are past masters at footwork.
Although Cans will be giving ten
pounds to Ryan. he has repeatedly said
that he was Tommy's master. In fact,
Cans has said that he is willing to bet
even money that he can put Ryan away

KING OPENS A COURT.
New Building on the Site Of Old New
0ate Prison.

LONDON, February 27.-The new central
criminal court, erected on the site of the
historic old Newgate prison, commonly
known as the Old Bailey. was opened today
by King Edward, who was accompanied by
Queen Alexandra. The function was
semi-state affair and considerable cere-
monial was observed. The streets trav-
ersed by the royal procession were decor
ated with bunting and lined by large crowds
of people The lord mayor and the sheriffs
in their robes of state met their ajesties
at Temple Bar where the lord mayor pre-
scented the king with the city sword, SYM
bolical of handing over the defense of the
city to his jesty while he remained with
i'm the boundaries. In a pavilion in front of
the portico of the new sessions house an
address was presented to the king, who re-
piled and declared the building open. Their
majesties subsequently inspected the in
terror of the court house, the cornerstone OF
which was laid in 1902. 1t is imposing
structure with frontage on the thorough
fare known as the Old Bailey of 2S7 feet
and 142 feet on Newgate street. The dome
is 1875 feet high and the whole building cost
81 100000. This street corner In the center
of the city has been the site of prisons
since the year 11SS and for over a century
Newgate was the scene of the public execu-
tons until the private executions act OF
1868 ended the grewsome spectacles.

HONOR POETS MEMORY.
New England Pays Tribute to Henry
W. Longfellow.

BOSTON, February 27.-The universal re-
gard in which the memory Of Henry Wads-
worth Longfellow Is held was given ex-
preston throughout New England today by
exercises commemorating the one hundredth
anniversary of the poets birth. In Maine,
where the poet was born. and in Massa-
chusetts, where he spent SO many of the
most important years of his literary life,
the principal public observances were held,
but there was scarcely a public school or
literary society in this section which did
not devote some time to the memory Of the
man whose writings touched the common
heart of humanity.
The opening exercises Of the day were
held chiefly in the public schools, Cam
bridge. where the poet lived so long. devot-
ing the entire morning sessions to this pur-
pose. During the day Craigie House, which
Longfellow occupied, was thrown open to
the public.
Nearly all the Maine public schools had
special exercises in cOmmemoration of the
day. and at Bowdoin College In Brunswick,
from which the poet graduated in 1928 a
program was carried out which included
an address by Prof. Mitchell and a poem by
Prof. Johnson. At Portland part of the
days observances consisted of the dedication
of the new library building of the Maine
Historical Society, which is located in the
rear of the lot on which is situated Long
fellows former home.
The most important features of the cele-
bration were planned for the evening In
Cambridge at Sanders Treater, when Bliss
Perry editor of the Atlantic Monthly: Presi-
dent Charles w. Eliot of Harvard Univer-
the author: Prof. Charles Eliot Norton of
Harvard and others take part At Portland
and Augusta. Me-, also important meetings
were planned for the evening.

It is presumed that the betting situation
at Benning this spring will be the same as
1t was last fall. The bookmakers will stand
up and keep on the move There Is much
conjecture as to what the betting situation
will develop in New York. Some profess
to believe that the Benning system will be
adopted there 1t Is not likely, however,
that any change win be made unless the
racing associations are forced by adverse
legislation to adopt some such means for
the convenience of the betting public.
Just what will happen at Albany it is DIFF
hcult to predict The reformers are per-
sistent in their attacks on racing In New
York state. Notwithstanding eminent clergy
men have declared in favor Of 1t. This per-
sfstence may not avail this year or next
year, but in time there may come a gov
ernor or legislature in harmony with the
reformers and then racing may suffer. It
Is doubtful. however, If racing would cease
in New York state, even II the most strin-
gent laws concerning betting were in effect.
Undoubtedly the associations could meet
the emergency by an increased admission
fee and the establishment of credit sys-
tenn Of betting, SO that not dollar would
change hands at the track. OF course this
would to great extent shut off public
patronage. but the emergency could be
met and system devised which would be
fmpregnable to the attacks Of reformers.

JAPS EXCITED
OVER BASE BALL

While on the subject of baseball interest,
1t is not amiss to call attention to the fact
that the good old game has captured an
other country-Japan. They like it so much
over there that some of the colleges have
given the. game what American colleges
handed to foot ball when 1t began to take
attention from professors and fasten it on
players. Fred Merrifield. former Chicago
University captain. is now coaching Waseda

fornia last year. In circular letter that
Merrifield is sending out to American col
leges-his team planning a more extensive
tour this year-he says:
Base ball is on a rampage Every cor
ner lot and street has Its group of small
boys. and pitchers are springing up every
where. with odd attempts at the foreign
swing. Waseda is In the lead again this
year. The final game with Kelo University
was called OFF by the authorities of the lat

excited over the roofing. Formerly they
have mildly clapped their hands This year
hundreds crowded the stands and grounds
and sang japanese songs and English yells.

FEW PLAYERS QUIT
IN THEIR PRIME

The number Of players who have quit
the big leagues voluntarily can almost be
counted upon the fingers Of one hand,
Mike Griffin, the old center fielder, was
one of the first He retired because his
sale by Brooklyn to st. Louis was not
relshed, he not receiving a piece of the
purchase price as he demanded He was
followed a few years later by Bill Lange,
also a center fielder. He married young
woman well blessed with earthly goods and
has never even threatened to again break
into the game.
Joe Corbett, DR.. Pond and Pitcher Lewis
of Boston and Pete Husting of the Ath-
letics composed a quartet of twirlers who
retired when still in their prime, but Cor
bett came back after a vacation of two
years and tried out his hand with St. Louis,
only to realize that he was a back num-
Der. Amos Rusie also quit for a year or
so, and then found the pace too warm for
him to follow. Lewis. Pond and Husting.
however, quit for good when they babe
goodbye to the big leagues.
Emmett Heidrick Of the Browns was the
third center fielder to retire while his serv-
ices were in demand. He retired to the
simple life among the mountains of Penn
sylvania. and has successfully resisted fiat
tering offers to re-enter the game.
OF course, there are several others who
have quit the game without waiting to drop
gradually out of sight by the medium Of
Tebeau. Noodles Hahn. BID McPhee.
Buck" Ewing, Duke Farrell, Jock
Menefee, BILLY" Lauder and John Clarkson,
who, when they found the pace in the big
league too warm, retired from the game al
together.
This year a few more may be added to
the list Elmer Flick has talked of going
into other business while Fred Glade, the
ST. Louis twirler. has threatened to quit
in Difference to the wishes of his bride, and
Jack Chesbro says he is tired of the game.
