Warning To Boys Of Eureka

For some time the boys have been con.
gregating in the night time and dis.
turbing the residents of Mob Hill by
throwing rocks at the houses and passers
by. Some of them are known and
others are being watched. 1t is a shame
to think that the boys a not find som
sort of amusement other than destroy
ing property or annoying people. Here
altar. boys caught destroying property
or annoying people will be punished
severely, and there will be no "beg
ging off,"

GAMES BADLY NAMED.
Basketball and Tennis Might Be More
POPULAR With Different Terms.

There's nothing wrong with bas-
ketball and tennis as good, active,
virile contests except their names,
says a patron of all sort of sports.
II venture TO say that basketball
would be more popular had 1t some
other title. The title is not sufi-
GENTLY suggestive of hardness and
vigor. AS a matter of fact basket
ball is strenuous and rough and red
blooded enough for anybody, but the
name somehow or other has too much
of the puss in a corner idea about it.
The same argument might not APP
ply to the word tennis, but you know
in counting In tennis they say forty
love and deuce, and those terms
are too much on the soft and gentle
order TO describe what is really a
game calling for activity, skill and
endurance. Baseball, football, hook
ey-now, there are names with a
ring to them which convey no sug-
gestion of being easy or effeminate.
1t is possible too that the fact that
so many girls play basketball and
tennis may detract from their at
Effectiveness as sports for men. And
baseball and football are not only
more popular with men but women
also, that is to watch"

THE PUGILISTS
BURNS MAY BE
HANDED A FEW
Opinion in Ireland is That Roche
Will Whip Him Without Any
Trouble.

The opinion prevailing throughout
Ireland that Burns will have to trav-
ell at his best speed to defeat Jem
Roche, the Irish chapmion, when they
meet in the ring March II, is begin
ming to spread throughout England.
One of the greatest authorities on
boxing in Europe, who is connected
with one of the leading London
sporting papers, asserts that the
Roche is a born boxer" he says.
"He can take any amount of punish
ment for twenty fast rounds and give
as much as he receives. His appear
ance is deceptive, for when stripped
he looks soft and childish. 1t is in
correct to say he has a long reach,
and to prove this it may be mention
ed he is best at close fighting. Roche
has worked in blacksmith's shop in
Wexford and is an active member of
the local football team.
"Roche's latest fight was with
Charlie Wilson, the ex-English cham
pion, at the Empire theater, Dublin,
when the Irishman delighted his sup
porters by completely outclassing the
Englishman. Roche is considered
much superior to Moir and Palmer,
both Of whom Burns defeated easily.
heard Jim Clarke, Roche's hacker,
remark after the champions last bat
tie that Roche had improved more
within the last year than ever.
"The Irish champion is wonderfully
popular in Ireland and he is gradual
ly becoming so throughout Great Bri-
tain, where his fame is spreading like
an epidemic. His successes are
awaited and recorded from the cities
and towns to the meanliest hamlets
If Burns defeats Roche it will be a
bitter disappointment to thousands OF
Irishmen who are preparing to wager
heavily on the chances Of the wearer
of the green"

the girl to whom the son of the
mayor is engaged enters the room.
To avoid embarrassment the mayo

Grand Central Palace Engaged For
BIG Match,

New York, March 3.-The Grand
Central Palace has been secured for
the first appearance in this country
during his present tour of George
Hackenschmidt, the champion wrest-
Ter of the world. According to the
present arrangements he will do the
bulk of his training for the big match
at a gymnasium at Twenty-third
street where he prepared for his
match with Jenkins on the occasion
of his last visit 10 America.
Haekenschmidt is now twenty-nine
years old. weighs about 21O pounds
stripped and stands five feet ten
inches in height. In spite Of his
weight he is extraordinarily quick.
due to the diversified methods which
he uses to keep himself ne at all
times.
Gotch also has not confined his
training merely TO wrestling with
partners. Much Of his time has been
given to boxing. lie is particularly
keen to make at least an excellent
showing against HackeRsehmidt.ev even
II he should not actually win. because
when Hackenschmidt defeated Jen-
kins he declined a challenge receiv-
ed from GOtch az that time on the
ground that the Iowan was "a second
rater." All must admit. In view Of
the fact that GOteh has twice defeat
ed jenkins. that this was scarcely q
good enough excuse IL Hackenschmfdt

THE DIAMOND
CITY LEAGUE
STARTS BUSINESS
Election of Officers and Other
Matters Were Disposed Of
Last Night.

Every team in the City Amateur
baseball league was represented at
the meeting in st Joseph's rooms last
night, with the exception OF the North
Ends. Those present were Coughlan
of the Washington Hills, Mcdonald
of the Pastimes, Client Of the Merr1-
macs, Guilfoile of the St Josephs and
Donahue of the Brooklyns, who sue
ceeds the old veteran Of the team
across the bridge, Mike Madden. The
first business of the meeting was the
election of officers which resulted as
follows: President, E. l.. Maloney;
secretary, William Guilfoile OF the
st Josephs and treasurer William Nc
Donald of the Pastimes.
One Of the principal points under
discussion last night was the selec-
ton of a playing field for the coming
season. There are several sites under
consideration and the following COM
mittee was appointed to make a choice
Managers Mcdonald and Coughlan
Last year the league was tossed about
considerably owing to the fact that
the season was opened at ReldVllle,
from which place the managers had
to retire to give way to the profess
ionals. The Riverside grounds were
then selected, but were found in no
condition for good baseball and the
season closed with games being play
ed on the Driving park. 1t is Just
possible that the latter place may be
selected this season also, unless a
field can be found, which can be en-
closed with a fence. If the Driving
park is chosen, arrangements will be
made for the building of bleachers
around the first base, catcher and
third baseman's positions. This
would be a big accommodation for
those who desire to sit and see the
games.
The matter of schedule was laid
over until the next meeting. Several
changes in the constitution were
also discussed and this matter also
went over. The question of donating
purse of 500 as well as the prize
cup was a new matter that was taken
up. The winners of the pennant
would then have a nice little sum to
divide up among the players. This
subject will also come up for action
at the next meeting The league will
start off with better prospects than
last season for the reason they will
be playing on their own field and will
not have to play the wandering act.
