DEPARTMENT LEAGUE
HEADS OFF "RINGERS"

Following upon the recent squirt of sew
eral Of the weaker teams in the De-
partmental League, at q meeting of sew
eral members Of the board Of directors
held Tuesday night. a resolution was
adopted making ineligible all players who
were not employees of the United States
government prior to June Is.
1t is stated that through a clause In
the constitution, Of which several Of the
teams took advantage, q number Of play
ers were appointed to temporary posi-
lions In the departments and are now
playing with the teams. while other
teams in the league secured good ball
players earlier in the season and are now
protesting against these teams which
have recently strengthened their lineup.
For q time several Of the teams in the
league had practically a good lead for
the championship. but through the acqui-
sition of the new players by the weaker
teams. they have fallen down in the race
and it is claimed are protesting against
the other teams taking advantage of the
technical clause in the constitution
whereby temporary positions can be
given.
Tie resolution was presented at the
meeting by Manager Pedigo of the War
Department. In which 1t was stated that
owing to the recent strengthening of
some of the teams. by temporary ap-
pointment. the primary object of the
league to play none but department clerks
was being lost sight of and that these
teams were becoming too fast. An amend
ment was submitted to the resolution fix
ing the date at July 1 and was seconded,
but was voted down.

Joe CANS Confident
HE CAN WHIP NELSON

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2.-Joseph
Cans and Battling Nelson, who will
meet the afternoon Of July in a forty
five-round boxing contest for the light
weight championship, have practically
finished their training work. The weight
agreement calls for 1873 pounds at the
ringside stripped, and only work of the
lightest kind will be necessary to reach
that figure by Saturday. Cans methods
Of training for the coming fight have diff
fered from his usual routine preparatory
work for the many previous contests In
which he has figured. He has confined
himself almost entirely to road work and
gymnasium exercises Of the simplest ma
ture, entirely eliminating boxing. By
adopting this course Cans has had in
mind the building up of his strength in
anticipation of prolonged struggle.
Every one knows that do not require
practice In order to outlook Nelson" said
Cans.
Nelson, on the other hand. has paid par
ticular attention to boxing in his train
as when he last met the champion at
Goldfield.
Jack Welsh. the referee, visited the
different training quarters yesterday and
personally interpreted the rules to each
tighter. ''If both men hold as they did
in Goldfield," said Welsh, land refuse
to break at command will use force If
necessary"
There has been a rush for tickets to the
fight. which will begin at 2:3O pm. Cans

Ever since the establishment OF the

generally by junior eight. and they
have captured the prize oftener than any
other club. They will send this year a
junior eight-oared crew, together with
couple Of single scullers. and. strange to
say, the officers of the organization re-
gard the entries this year as only tryouts
for the big affairs later on in the year.

been up to the usual standard, which.

EVANSVILLE, July 2 1908.
Several days since Sheriff Frank Hurn
and Deputy Sheriff Thomas H. Garrison
went to Fort Washington. Piscataway
district, to dispossess saloon keeper
named Joseph H. Arnold. They carried
with them an extract from the docket of
Justice Cox directing that one Griffin be
given possession of the place.
When the officers appeared at Arnold
place they were informed that, acting
upon legal advice. he did not propose to
give up possession until the proper papers
were presented. Arnold emphasized his
ultimatum by displaying two formidable
looking pistols.
The officers withdrew. They secured
legal advice. After having papers prop
erly drawn they sent them to Chief Judge
John P. Briscoe, at Prince Frederick, for
signature.
two. the sheriff and his deputy again
visited the Fort Washington saloon. They
found Arnold in about the same mood as
upon their previous visit.
This time Sheriff Hurd caught him of
his guard and pinned his arm to the bar
counter. Garrison pushed a revolver un-
der his nose and warned him not to at
tempt to get bad"
The officers told Arnold they were DOS
sessed of the proper papers, and pro-
posed to dispossess him peacefully or
otherwise. Several barrels of whisky and
numerous cases Of beer and other drink
ables were thereupon placed in the street
and the barroom was deserted.
Arnold was placed in Jail charged with
assault and battery. Judge Merrick re-
leased him a day or SO ago on a writ of
habeas corpus.

KEPT HOUSE CLOSED SO YEARS
Death Of French Woman Reveals
Strange Life Of Seclusion.


Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS. July 2-For fifty years No. 10
Boulevard Poisoniere, in Paris. a house
of four stories. has been closely shut
tered, and yet 1t has been continuously
Inhabited. Servants were seen to enter
and leave the building. and the other day
1t was dressed in the black and silver
trappings which usher Frances citizens
to their last resting place. Nine. de
Provigny, its occupant for fifty years,
was dead. She was an old lady Of sew
enty and for the last half century she
lived in that closed and shattered house
without a newspaper. without an open
book, without q flower and without a
word to her from any living soul. For
fifty years Mme de Provigny wore white
satin. She wore it on her wedding day
and always dressed in white to the end.
Fifty years ago M: De Proyigny died
and the young husband died Of apoplexy
an hour after the ceremony. When she
recovered from the shock, II indeed she
can be said ever to have recovered from
it. Nine. Provigny had the house shut up
but she retained her servants on condi-
ton that they were never to confront her
with living being and never to speak to
her again. She did not know the trend
Of public events. Motor cars were un-
known to her. She did not know whether
heard of the Dreyfus case Of the death
of Queen Victoria. or of any national or
International event.
In her will Nine. de Provigny left her
whole fortune to men and women aged
over sixty years Of good character. She
left a large house in the country as a
home for them and $4,000. 900 for its sup
port.

finally Gotch downed him with crotch
and half Nelson.
Roller did the better work in the sec

seemingly lost. He was finally picked
up and dumped to his shoulders from the
