italian Woman Gives Milan Officials
Surprise of Their Life.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
MILAN. October 5.-Sunday last an ele
gantly attired lady, who gave her name
as Maria Schinca of Savona, took up her
abode at one of the best hotels here. She
went out frequently. but always punctu-
ally returned at lunch and dinner time.
Her manner gave rise to a good deal of
suspicion in the mind of the manager OF
the hotel, who decided to present the lady
with her account, which amounted to
$50. The lady asked him to wait until
the next afternoon. Not being satisfied,
however. the manager communicated with
the police.
An official questioned Signora Schinca,
who frankly confessed that she had not
even half-penny. SO from the hotel
she was taken to the station house, where
she was Searched. The result was sur
prising In one of her silk stockings were
found bank notes and coupons for $1,000
Thereupon the lady was sent to prison,
to be held at the disposition of the jul
dicial authorities. Among her other cred
itors besides the hotel proprietor are
several modistes, ladies' tailors and diff
ferent tradesmen. 1t appears that SignOra
Schinca is not quite responsible for her
actions,

1T Is TO LAUGH.
Burns Says He Will Retire "Win or
Lose" With Johnson.

NEW YORK, October Sit amuses fight
fans to read that Tommy Burns will
retire after he fights Jack" Johnson. The
"Canuck' has been quoted as saying that
win or lose l will retire." The negro
boxer and Burns have been across the
ocean for some months and each has
reaped a harvest financially. Neither of
the men has met good boxers. Burns
defeated men like Squires, Palmer and
Roche. and Johnson has scored victo,ie les
over equally as easy opponents To clear
necessary that Burns and Johnson make
a match, inasmuch as Burns does not
draw the color line.
Burns Is the acknowledged heavyweight
champion and Johnson has always been
considered among boxing enthusiasts as
a strong contender and a man who was
entitled to a match with the champion.
If they get together in Australia 1t is like
ly the public will know who is who in
the heavyweights.
Burns declaration of retirement appears
to be a huge joke. There is not a better
or shrewder business man in the ring
than he ii and he will doubtless come
back from his trip abroad and look for
all the matches he can make irrespective
of the result of his contest with Johnson.
New York promoters would go deep into
their pockets to arrange a match between
Burns and kid" Mccoy. The Kid is
to remain so until Burns again reaches
these shores. Mccoy, with his reputation.
cannot afford to clash with third-rate
boxers. A match between Mccoy and
Burns would pack any clubhouse in this
city.

YALE'S SCORE REDUCED.

NEW HAVEN. Conn. October 5.-Ref-

There was a dispute among the foot bail
authorities over the goal. and it was given
out Saturday night that the goal had been
kicked. The decision makes the official

Several changes in the Yale eleven are
