Special Cableeram TO The Star.
PARIS. February S.-A curious dip,o-

at Adds Ababa. Whenever a theft is
committed the owner Of the stolen prop
erty applies to a sort Of corporation
known as the "Lieb Actai." or seekers
after robbers. which sets Immediately 10

fashion. The chief Of this corporation

to give the New Bedford fans good run
for their money if the string on the dough

1t was fitting that West Point should

Many New York critics were not slow
calling Strang a soldier during the last
season of his career with the Giants.

BOXING BRIEFS.

Fighting Dick Hyland has agreed to
meet Packey Mcfarland and the pair
were matched in San Francisco to try
conclusions In twenty-round bout at
Jim Coffroth's open-air fight club at Col
ma, Cal, on Washington's birthday after
noon. They will battle at 133 pounds, and
weigh in at am. on the day OF the fight.
They will begin fighting at o'clock
Hyland has been substituted for Lew
Powell, who fiunked out of the match.
II some of the New York club managers
would cut out some Of these star boxers
and put on a few more fighters like Bat
Ting Hurley and Charley Griffin, there
would not be such big roar from per-
sons opposed to the sport. and besides the
club members would see better scraps
There was more real fighting in two

tackle Harry CroXton, the English heavy
weight. for twenty rounds at a show to
be pulled off at Wonderland, Paris. CroX-
ton will probably get hit SO fast and often
by Jeanette that he will imagine some
one is hurting boxing gloves at him.

weight, and Tony Ross, the big Italian
fighter of New Castle, Pa. were matched

Pittsburg and New Castle. Pa. to meet

he will meet Jimmy Gardner, the New

If Donovan can survive both bouts it will

It looks now as it Jim DriscolI, the
English champion. and Abe Attell will
not get together in battle at one of the
New York clubs until Driscoll returns
from his trip to England. which will be
about the latter part of March or early
Driscoli. declared that il Attell did not

JEFF DOESN'T THINK
JOHNSON is ANXIOUS

LOS ANGELES. February Slim JEFF
fries has raised the hopes Of the fight
fans, declaring in an interview Saturday
that If he enters the ring again Johnson
can't dictate terms or officials, as he Is
champion.
"A laughable item was brought to my
notice recently" said Jeffries. ''in which
Jack Johnson was made to say that if he
fought me he would demand a negro ref
cree. as he was champion OF the world
and would take no chances Of preju-
diced white man officiating.
Now, as q matter OF fact. Jack John
son would not be the heavyweight cham
pion were l to re-enter the ring. l will

the challenger. AS such he would be
pretty small potatoes when it came to

feet that Johnson has signed for several

AND THE COURT LAUGHED.
Convicted Artist, Treated Leniently
Wanted to Show His Gratitude.

Special Cablesram to The Star.
PARIS, February S.-No more open offer
OF a reward to judge was ever made
than that which was proposed by paint
err last week in a Paris court What
probably saved the painter was the fact
that it was received with general laugh
ter. The artist is tolerably we'll known
in Paris as the organizer of several art
exhibits at the Grand Palais, and one Of
his pictures was to be seen at the last
autumn salon. Two years ago he made
the acquaintance Of celrk in a branch
establishment of the Bank Of France, who
proposed to him clever way for obtain
ing the loan of any sum from the bank
He had only to sign check, which the
clerk would take care of.
How II was exactly done is long story
but the result was that the painter con-
sented and signed check with a false
name. which the clerk managed to pass
The clerk gave the painter the 500 and
kept the $4,000. The division of the loan
was not fair one, but the painter, who
did not seem to realize the gravity Of the
act. thought no more Of the matter until
the police looked him up and arrested
him. together with the clerk. At the
trial the clerk was sentenced to Ave years
and the painter to two years imprison-
ment but with the benefit Of the first
offenders act
When the painter heard this he stood
up. and in loud voice. trembling with
emotion, said to the Judge You have
been very kind. NJ. lie President What
can / do to show my gratitude? II YOU
like. l Will paint your lady's portrait
This offer was received by the whole
court with roars Of laughter. The paint
er thought there was nothing to laugh at.
and the incident was passed over.

by the HiGhlanders.
While it has been semi POLITICALLY an
nounced that Manager Stallings would
open the season with Chase. Gardner and
Conroy on the bases and Jack Knight at
shOrtston. Stallings has two candidates
for infield positions who look sweet to
good judges who saw them work last sea

phia player, VINO was a star in the Tri-
State League last season. In 115 games
Ward had a batting average of .32l per

Shrubb was communicated with by wire
yesterday afternoon. and last night came
back his prompt acceptance. 1t was not
