DOdgeviIle Debate.

Negotiations are at present under
way for the holding of the debate
with Dodgeville this year. Last year
the debate was held at Dodgeville but
will probably be held in Lancaster
this year. Not very much has been
done as yet although several ques-
tions are being considered in order to
secure one that will make a good
debate. 1t is probable that the
debate will be held some time in
January.

The Boscobel and Lancaster
nigh school teams were scheduled to
play ball here Saturday but on &C
count of the drizzling rain which
fell at frequent intervals were un-
able to finish but four innings OF
the game, which would, without a
doubt been very close in favorable
weather. At the close of the fourth
Boscobel was in the lead the score
standing to O in it's favor. The
teams appeared to be evenly matched,
Lancaster perhaps. outclassing the
visitors in fielding. At present no
other games have been scheduled by
the local management for this fall
and it is probable that no more will
be played until spring, when Lancas-
ter high expects to be represented by
one of the strongest school mines in
this section. The high school athletics
are now managed under more
stringent rules than heretofore, no
student who is behind in his work
being allowed to take part in any of
the games. Certain members of the
faculty also keep close tab on the
financial end Sand in this way the
usual bad results are not realized. Ill.
managed athletics are a detriment to
any school but when they are strictly
controlled by the faculty they prove
a great benefit instead.

it was. The bill is now ready for pas
sage within the next few days.
Provisions of Law.
The governor signed the bill yester-
day afternoon that places Fort Wayne
and South Bend in the second class OF
cities. The bill is now a law. Under
this.law these two cities are elevated

state as follows: Second class, those

Two Teams Gave Exhibition
Of AIphonse and CASTOR
ParIor Tactics.
SHARP MAKES GOOD PLAY
LITTLE LOCAL RUsHER CAGES
THE BALL IN FOUR SECONDS
THE FINAL SCORE OF GAME
WAS ITO
POLO LEAGUE STANDING.

The Alphonsc-Gaston stunts were
done at the polo game between Rich
mond and Elwood last evening at the
coliseum with Richmond taking the
game Z to 6. after three long drawn
out periods of play. Elwood demon
strated about as much ginger as a
new born rabbit and seemed to be
afraid of getting into the game-sup-
posedly for fear they might hurt the
midgets-until the Rubicon had been
crossed in the. last period and Rich
mond had sewed up the game. At this
juncture Elwood dropped its parlor
tactics and placed it's monocle safely
in the cupboard and went after the
game, making it interesting to the
spectators. Had Elwood played such
a contest from the start a different
story might have been told.
Sharp Was a Feature.
{ The first two. periods. with Rich
mond taking the big end in the first,
scoring. three times to Elwood's once
and the exact reverse being true in
the. second, furnished few good plays
except that of Sharp who Gagged the
ball from. the spot in Az seconds.
Both of these periods were much de-
layed by the players either breaking
their skates. or. some other part Of
their equipment. Even though the
contest was close the interest of the
game was lax.
Fetzer Was withdrawn.
j In. the third period the local man
agement DISPLAYED good Judgment in
Withdrawing Fetzer. from the game
and placing Jones in at center. Fetz-
'er had been playing a good game but,
his. ankle is yet far from well and he
was, about. all in. Jones roughed. it
considerably. He PLACED the. Your it
tag on Parsons and the latter was
truely it for he, seated himself on the
floor nearly every time, he attempted
to pass. Jones. Williams played hard

FLYING SQUADRON
 MAKES ARREST
City Was Very Dry Yester- day Because of the Activ- ity of the Police-Several Places Barely Escaped.

The Flying Squadron" was out again yesterday looking after viola
 tions of the liquor laws. Only one place was found doing business and four arrests resulted. The Flying Squadron consisted of Sergeant Re- gan, Liquor agent Wagner and Patrol men Ladd and Ccughlin. They ap- peared at Luke Ciancey's place at the corner of West and Railroad avenues in time to see the contents of a beer glass disappear down the throat of Peter Keenan who was drinking in a hallway adjoining the saloon. The squad executed a flank movement and got into the saloon where they. found Patrick Drfscol serving drinks to Jas. Reilly, Timothy Shea and James Mur- phy In the city court this morning Driscoh was fined $10O and costs and the frequenters $1 and costs each. The frequenters paid in over $14 each and were released. Driscoll appealed under a bond of $2O0.
 The door leading from the salon to side room was sealed up by order of the County Commissioners but the seal had been broken. The arrest demonstrates the fact that Sunday li- Quor selling cannot continue for any length of time without detection. Other places which attem pted to do business on the sly yesterday barely escaped detection and were soon closed up. Ta- ken altogether the city was practically dry yesterday.
