(By Duncan Curry in the New York

 Wi1kes-Barre and Giants despair will not have a monopoly of hill climb ing on Decoration Day, as the Auto mobile Club of Bridgeport will hold their fourth annual hill climb up Sport Hill on the same date.
 Many entries have been received, and the work of ofling and grading the course is nearly completed.
 Contracts were given out yesterday for stands for the various officials and the press, at both starting and finish ing points. The club has received much praise for the liberal accommo- dations provided for the press at previous hill climbs, and arrangements have been made to make these still more ample this time.
 ARRANGEMENTS FOR PRACTICE.
 Arrangements have been made to all low contestants to practice On the hill from to o'clock each afternoon from Monday, May A, to Saturday, May 29, inclusive.

Johnson did not try his level best to put OBrien away. The negro could reputation was at stake and he knew before the bout that if he made a poor showing his value as a drawing card would be greatly injured For Johnson to agree to let O'Brien stay six rounds for a pa1try $5,000 while the latter received twice the amount would have been evidence of insanity when it is considered that the negro, as the recognized worlds champion. signed theatrical contracts some time ago extending until well into next win ter. Johnson took O'Brien on because he thought the latter would be a. soft mark and before the bout was half over he realized his mistake. It's a. cinch that if Sam Fitzpatrick had been in charge of Johnson'S affairs the OBrien match would never have been made.
 Sandy Ferguson, the big Boston slug ger, and Joe Jeannette, the colored heavy weight, will fight twenty rounds was postponed from last Saturday at Ferguson's request, az he wanted more time to get right. The winner will be challenged by Sam Langford, who ish heavyweight champion, in London next week. Johnson can also have fight with the winner of to-night's mill next August for a $20,000 purse and a S1O,tUV SlQS iD&I II JACK VII fdSI0t lO q flnsh contest. But it's even betting now that Johnson will not indulge in a mill with anybody until he meets KetcheI.

 The Fairmont A. c. has matched Leach Cross and Johnny Mario for ten rounds next Friday night As Jem DriscoH outpointed these boys with ease their match looks decidedly even.
 A fight between Ketche1 and Papke. to be decided at Colna on July 5, has been practically arranged. Ketehe1 has no love for Papke and does not care to see him proclaimed the middle weight champion of the world If Promoter Coffroth offers enough mon- ey for Ketchel's end he says he will sign articles. Ketchel will be in F'ris- co next week.
 PapKe. by the way, thinks that Dick Hyland will defeat Battling Nelson when they meet at Co1ma a. week from to-day for the lightweight title. Nelson is down to 136 pounds already and will have no trouble in making 133 pounds ringside. The Dane pre- diets that he'll saip Hyland inside of twelve rounds.
 In reply to several queries from Sun readers, let it be known that there wasn't a single clean knockdown in the OBrien-Johnson bout. 0Brien slipped or was wrestled to the floor from several clinches, but that was all Had he been knocked down the Quaker would probably have taken the count, as all clever pugilists usually do.

 The Modocs are waiting for an an- swer from the Bengal Jrs. if they want to play them tomorrow afternoon at the Mud Flats.
 Pop" Moran, president of the Park City league. wants to keep his eyes on the Nukies for they are over the age to play in the league. There may be one or two who will pass but for sure Jack Casey, the manager, and Hans Lund. the captain, will never see 21 again
 It will be nothing but the North Ends tomorrow when they clash with the South Ends. It will be worse than the West End game.
 Wonder if the St. Joseph Jrs. have improved any in their practicing.
 The Seasides will play the Bengal Jrs. tomorrow at the Mud Flats at 2:30. A good game is expected.

J. S. Callahan, aged 65 years. one of the oldest railway passenger con- ductors in the South, and who about twenty years ago was responsible for the arrest in this city of the famous desperado, Rube Burrows passed away last evening about 10 o'clock at St. Margarets Hospital after short ill., ness.
 At the time, Rube Burrows and his brother. Jim, were terrorlzing this sec- tion of the country with train hold ups and robberies. Captain Callahan was the passenger conductor on the L.. and N. train between Nashville and Montgomery. At Calera shortly after the Burrows brothers had committed a robbery near Birmingham. he noticed two suspicious characters board his train. He immediately wired to this city to have the police meet the train.
 Adolphus Gerald, who was Chief of Police at that time, dispatched John Martin, Police Captain, to the train. in citizens clothes. Captain Martin placed the men under arrest after they had proceeded a short way and escort ed them to headquarters. At head

 Both Mir. Pitts and Mir. Eagle are from Selma. and the two Central City inhabitants have worked their Way in- to the hearts of their co-laborers. The gifts came as a surprise to both. and the recipients were sensibly affected at the presentation which was made in the Supreme Court room yesterday afternoon.
 The cane was presented 70 the chair man by Representative Rice of Tus- caloosa. and the pen by Representative Sherrod of Lawrence.
 MT. Pitts as chairman and MT. Eagle as clerk have served in their capaci- ties for six years, and at as many terms of the Legislature. During their service the two have directed and recorded the consideration of more bills than perhaps any of the members of any other one committee. The Re- vision of Laws Committee, during the present session. have been exceptional ly xealous, passing upon seventy five bills in all. one-fifth of the total num- Der presented in the House. In spite of the heavy work the docket of the committee Is cleared.

SEEKING NEW TRIAL
MRS. HATTIE POPE OF CHILTON COUNTY WANTS NEW HEARING.
Bill of Exceptions Was Filed Yesterday by the Convicted WOman's Att torney, Representative
 Middleton.

Motion for a new trial, with bill of exceptions, in the case of Mrs. Hat tie I. Pope, of Chiffon County, who was sentenced to life Imprisonment for the murder of her mother. Mrs. King, near Montevallo. was filed yesterday with Judge Pearson in Montgomery
 The bill of exceptions was filed by the lawyer of Mrs. Pope, Representa- tive Middleton of Chiffon, who Is in Montgomery on attehdance on the Leg islature's session.
 Prominent in the bill of exceptions, and point upon which the defense rests its hope, Is a letter, found in the house in which Mrs. King was killed. written by Mrs. King to Mrs. Pope, and which Judge Pearson, during the trial in Clanton, refused to admit as evidence.
 Mrs. Pope Is one of the few women of Alabama to have been convicted of murder, and one of the fewer to re- ceive such a lengthy sentence as that for time Imprisonment.
