WARRANT AGAINST
 SALVATION ARMY
 WILL BE REFUSED
Prosecuting Attorney De Laney and President Hill of the Police Board Agree that Array is Not Amen able to the Ordinance.

The standing of the Salvation Army under the ordinance governing second hand dealers will probably be decided by an appeal to the courts. It is the opinion of Prosecuting Attorney De- Laney and also of President George E.. Hill of the Police Board that the city ordinance does not apply to the Sal vation Army and that it is not obliged to take out a license to sell second hand goods. The main object of the
 license ordinance is to compel second hand dealers to render an account of their purchases for the inspection of the police department. This, in meas ure prevents the second hand store from becoming a recognized fence for the disposition of stolen goods. The Salvation Army buys nothing. The goods sold at it's store here are all do- mated by charitable individuals. It is thief will give away his goods and therefore there is no occasion for the army to keep an account of it's re- ceipts for the benefit of the police de- partment. The sales of the army are not for profit. The margin left af- ter the payment of expense is very small. The proceeds of the sales are used for charitable purposes. For these reasons Prosecuting Attorney DeLaf1ey would refuse a warrant should one be asked for by the attor- neys of the Junk dealers association. Bartlett, Keeler and Cohn are the of ficial representatives of the Junk Deal ers' association They have not been instructed to act in the matter as yet. The members of the association, how ever, are anxious to have the matter settled in the courts and will so 1n- struct their attorneys at once. Should a warrant for the arrest of the officers of the army for the violation of the ordinance be refused the only method of procedure remaining would be to ask for an injunction restraining the Army from doing a second hand bus mess and test the matter in the courts. The officers of the army claim they do not object to the payment of the small license fee but to keep record of all the goods received would entail so much work that the project would have to be abandoned. The army has fought out the question successfully in two previous instances and are req soma bly, sure of success in this case.

BASEBALL ], NOTES.

Heine Batch and Steamer F1ana- gan. former Connecticut Leaguers, have gone into training at the camp of the Rochester Eastern Leaguers at Ixexinston Ky They will have some strong opposition for the outffeld, which accounts for their Intentions to make good this year, as failure to make good means a return to the 'tbusheS'.
 Pitcher John Hess will not go to the Nashville club of the Southern League, after all. his release having been bought by Manager Eason of the Law renee club of the New England League. Eason is a former major league pitch CT.
 According to reports around the Eastern League circuit Izzy Hoffman is holding out from singing with the Providence team. He does not like cut that has been made in his salary, and wants to be transferred to Balh- more.
 Tommy Dowd, Hartford1s manager last season, but now with the New Bedford team of the New England League, is rying to trade Catcher Duff to some Nutmeg League team Bridge port might use Duff now that Beau mont has gone to Seattle, and Bill Kerr needs more seasoning.
 Another graduate or the COnneCCicuC League who is making good in the : training quarters down South is Eddie Lennox, a few seasons ago with New Haven, who is being tried out by Brooklyn. He is covering the third station like a veteran, while his abil- ity to bat we'll holds him up with the majors Another member of this team John Hummell, formerly with Holyoke, is doing good on the initial sack in place of Tim Jordan, who is holding ont for more ROney
 The players who have stayed at the top for five years or more without pre- vious professional experience are Fred Penney, catcher for Brown University, and now playing with New York, after long service with Boston; Frank Chance, a. Fresno. Cal, player, nabbed : Cuhs, and manage them for many sea- sons; Eddie Plank, who jumped from Gettysburg College. Gertysburg, Pa, in 1901 to be a famous pitcher for Mack ever since, and Ed Reulbach, Notre Dame star, who has been twirling most successfully for the Cubs for five years.
 You had better agree on terms with McGraw and play ball next season, or you will lose your stage prestige, as you're attraction now because you are a baseball star instead of a. real actor" said Charley Dooin, playfully, to Mike Don1in, back of the stage in a meant what he said as good advice from a friend. Mikes reply was that he wasn't a much worse actor'' than lShsa rIev was singer.

 His Father a Fight Fan.
 The first few rounds rocked along pretty even, but 1 was hammering away at Golfers wind, and it was be- ginning to tell. In the fifth round, while the Danes and Swedes were talking all sorts of languages and yell ing for me to go on, l cracked Collier in the stomach. He doubled over, and as his head came down l hung a beaut sGuarely on his chin, and he Topped over on the mat. By this time the Hegewisch crowd was crazy. Coli fer was very limp and took the full count of nine, and then to everybody's surprise he got up. He was certainly game to the core AS he got to his

feet I set myself and got a clean right handed swing on his jaw. This put him out for good, and we had a hard time bringing him to conscious ness.
 The last word I heard as started to jump out of the ring was, "An' dey dink dey can leek my boy, vot!' fol- lowed by a familiar chuckle. The old man was still on the job.
 I was handed fifty one-dollar bills for my victory, and won that much more in bets that I had made with the Pullman employees.
 My success in saving the fighting honor of Hegewfsch appeared to take all the talk out of the old man about making me quit the game. From this time on he was dyed in the wool fight fan. To this day he thinks there is nobody fin the world who ''can leek his boy, votr' and between you and me his son Battling has got some what of the same notion.
 His Terrible Experience In Ring.
 Anyway, the change in my dear old father was enough to warrant me in starting out again. Having had good luck in Wisconsin, I journeyed that F two weeks Idter that I met Charley Berry for the third and last time.
 had lost, as stated, a close decision to Berry the December previous. and he challenged me again. This time we had eight rounds. though I held out for twelve or fifteen rounds. Like our previous battle. the affair. went the full eight rounds. He fought a pretty cit although at no time did he have the best of the fighting. Referee Tom Ryan awarded the plum to him at the finish In the final rounds I forced Berry through the ropes in my anxiety to put him out. Fearing be would be killed as the drop to the floor was about eight feet, I tried to catch him as he was falling. I did this because I fig. ured I had won big lead and thought that I had the battle wrapped up Therefore I grabbed him to check the fall in order to give his fat manager, Paddy Dorrell, chance to protect his man. Paddy during the excitement made misstep in his corner and fell, and Berry tufnbIed over him, thus say. ing himself from a hard tumble. I was in the wreck and tumbled head. tOuS over d CudlT, uly neHQ SCrlklng a post, almost knocking me out as well.
 The gong sounded. and Referee Ryan held up Berry's hand as the winner. received $75 for my end. though I lost out.
 Finally Beat Joe Pe-cents.
 Joe Percente and I met for the fourth and last time at Oshkosh. Wis, OF Maj rh 13, 1902. I had caught a bad cold after the Berry affair. and when weighed in, clothes and all. mind you, the beam scarcely tipped 130 pounds I was game. however, and went in to hand Sir Joseph good beating. I car ried the fight to him and won the bout in handy fashion.
 I returned to the Windy City after my win over Percente and was match ed with Kid Ryan in the feature bout on lovely St. Patrick's day evening, March r, c. course.
 Strange to relate. I had previously fought on each Irish day of celebra- tion and h"d managed to win each time with knockout. The Ryan bout, according to the announcer, was to go tix rounds. It didn't. as in the first round I sailed in and hooked him on the jaw several times. also using my left half scissors9 hook on the liver, and down he went for the fatal ten seconds. I was handed $75 for the finished job.

NOTES ABOUT
 THE FIGHTERS

Boston. March 17.-Joe Bowker. Eng lands champion featherweight. is thanking his stars to-day that he was not knocked out by Al Delmont when the two went 12 rounds here last night. Rowker was evidently a good fighter once but Belmont made him look has-been At times Bowker showed flashes of his old form but at no tune did he look like a winner Ihat ne was defeated .decisively in the uth round was narrow escape for Del mont had put him to the mat three times and had him staggering when the bell saved him from being put away.
 Bowker was fooled as being far clev- erer and shiftier than Driscoll or Mor- an but he does not compare with either of them in any way.
 New York March 17.-George Dennis of Boston was too light for Little Joe Coster, but to-day he is hailed as the gamest little fellow in the ring. De snsfe hard punishment administered by Coster,- Dennis kept coming back and took his punishment without a. wh mp CT For three rounds he was battered into an almost helpless condition when his second mercifully threw up the sponge.

M getting close on to Christ mas, and it was up to me to hike back to Hegewisch. 1 am awful strong for Christmas at home, and that hanging up the stocking thing still has q hold on me. Every Christ mas as regular as a clock I hang up my sock. and my good old mother never fails to see that Santa Claus puts something in it.
 With $50 in my pocket I reached Hegewisch two days before Christmas eve. and had to get very busy, as all the kids were writing letters to Santa Claus and giving them to me to mail" -c------.---
 On Christmas day my father called me into the little parlor and said he wanted to have talk.
 "Now, Bat" he began, and then he told me that he wanted me to stop the fighting business. Before you leave home," he said, you must promise"
 Would Not Promise to Quit.
 wouldn't exactly promise. but told him I would think it over So we all went downtown. The crowd in Hege- wisch usually hangs out at Dad Knights bar. Just as we went in the . ment. One of them was from Pull man, where they make the sleeping cars. In Hegewisch we have the lar gest car works in the world. but we only make working cars, such as flat cars, freight cars, etc.
 The Pullman fellows think they have something on US because they make fancy cars, and there is always ok saI, ic. bn hnt ter town.
 said the fellow from Hegewisch, "but you can't fight over there."
 Cant tfght!' snapped the other fel- low. "Whats tearing at you? Why, we've got the greatest fighter in the world at Pullman, and he can lick any thing that ever growed in Hegewisch- I'd like to see you show some guy who could face little Frankie Collier. Why, he's whirlwind.'
 "Get outr cried the Hegewisch man. "Hegewisch can beat anybody at any thing, and I'll bet you on it." Just then he spied me and the old man as we came in the door.
 +'Say, kid.'' he said, "can't you lick any boy your weight fin Pullman?"
 I allowed as how'' I was willing to try.
 You tink dey got boy over dere vot can beat my boy-votr' my father hared up in his funny Danish dialect. 'evell, we'd lack to see him. My boy bane a wonder" And the old man was getting all worked up.
 His Danish Father Gets Angry.
 ''I bet-I bet-I bet you von tousand dollars" the old man said excitedly as he kept getting redder in the face. 'sLeek my boy-vot?"
 Bat" be said, turning to me. you go an leek dis Pullman boy, and eef you dake leekin-vell, I leek some myself. huh?''
 There was nothing to it now. I had to fight for the honor of Hegewisch, and the fellow who was boosting me patted me on the shoulder and said, Now bring on your fancy Pullman fghterr'
 For the next few days the town was wild with the talk of the coming fight, and they were betting their shoes. The same thing was going on in Pullman. which was just six miles away. We boys had two weeks in which to get ready, and on Jan. IS, 1902, everybody in Hegewisch went over to West Pull man to see the go. The town was closed up. It was a general holiday.
