KID DUGGAN LEADS FEM ALL Former rr..d eport Player is Setting a Nancy Raaks'
 Pace.

The latest official figures of the National Roller Polo league show that Kid Duggan, the youngster who received his schooling in this city has gained an almost insurmountable lead on digger Higgins, the Fall River rush, Tor the rush taking honors, and is practically sure Of winning the honor unless forced out of the game by injuries. He now has lead of l31 goals on the Fall River rush. Ted Lewis, another Bridgeporter is fast gaining on Higgins, and may pass him out.
 Bobby Hart is still increasing his list in goal making. He begins the new year with a lead of IF over his nearest competitor, Williams. Lewis did not play during the week, due to a swollen foot. and was passed by Harkins.
 Jack Fahey, who will be remem- bered by the local fans as the big scare artist is being closely pressed for foul making honors by Hardy of Providence. Since Larry Saunders went to the Empire state league, none of the others are making a race.
 The Fall River team has been with out the services of Jigger Higgins for some little time. causing them to drop into second place, and Candy Harper, their crack goal tender is al- so off his feed. He has been passed by Ramon, his old rival. who now has a lead of five points. When digger gets back into the game, watch Candy's average climb. The digger has a bad habit of keeping the pill away from his own end of the floor
 Hartford, Jan. 5.-Although James H. Ciarkin, owner of the old First regiment armory building on Elm street, has been approached by one of the managers of the National Polo league with view of transferring a club to this city, there is little lfkeli- hood that Hartford will see revival of the game this winter. Waterbury is the only city in this state repre- scented in the National league, and the indications are that the Brass City will have to struggle along with out state rival for the balance of the playing season. Mir. Clarkin may run a polo club here next winter in the event that the game is revived in this section and a lea que is formed with a compact circuit.

HIGHER YOU GO
 SAFER YOU ARE
CHANNEL CROSSER BLERTOT FURNISHES MAXIM FOR AIR
 CONQUERORS TO FOLLOW.

Paris. Jan. 5.-"The higher you go the safer you are," declared Louis Blerict, the aeroplane "Channel cross CT" today in commenting on the death of Leon De La Grange during flight at Bordeaux yesterday. Bleriot's view is shared by the majority of French aviators. Hubert Latham's recent flight at a height of nearly 1000 feet Curing a tremendous w.nd proves that safety lies in great attitudes" contin- ued Bieriot. "At the height of mile, or possibly two miles. air currents no matter how violent they might be on the surface, would have absolutely no effect on the aeroplane and an aviator could ride the storm in perfect safety.
 'I think the deaths of De La Grange. Le Febvre. Ferandez and Ferber were all due to their flying too close to the ground where air-currents are always variable. Buildings. geography the varying temperatures of the earth and many other things contribute to create these currents and gusts which are usually in an upward course and no matter how far from the aviator he is in constant danger of sudden change in the air.
 when Wilbur Wright made his re- cent flight up the Hudson river in New York he said his only trouble came from upward gusts-wfffle flying close to the towering buildings along the river bank In flying in what might appear to be dead calm. I have passed near trees or over build ings and suddenly experienced aerial swirls and suctions that made the manipulation of the machine very diff ficult
 "There Is only one way to escape this danger and that is by flying high enoueh to escape these currents. would just as soon fall from height of 1000 or 5000 feet as from a height of 100, and as there Is much less dam ger of falling at the greater height think I shall sail at no less an altitude than 1 GOO feet hereafter"
 Yesterday was sad day for the aviators. marking the death of De La Grange who was one of the rnost pop ular aviators in France. and the injury to Santos Dumont at St. Cyr and Mime. De La Roche at Chalones-Sur-M -Marne-
 Neither Santos Dumont nor Mime De La Roche was seriously hurt. but the death Of De La Grange has plung- ed aerorautic circles into gloom such as no other accident has ever done.

JEFFRTES SAYS FTTZ WAS THE HARDEST PUNCHER HE
 EVER MET.
Sharkey the Toughest Proposition He Ever Faccd-No One Ever Hurt Him in the Ring.

Sharl1ey the Toughest Proposition He
 Ever Faced-No One Ever Hurt
 Him in the Ring.
 Now and then Jim Jeffries grows reminiscent and when he does the usually silent man says something worth listening to. The other day Jeff told how he started to take up the fighting game. In answer to a ques- tion he said:
 Well, I'm a peaceful sort of per son, but I could always fight a bit, and when they offered me few dol- lars to box Dan Long in San Francis co some thirteen years ago I just fell for 1t. l was no pumpkins, as they say. in those days, but I beat Long so easily that l thought there might be something in it, and I decided to investigate. Delaney took me down to Shaw's Springs, where Corbett was dead easy, and acquired the idea that I might some day or another become the champion myself. won the championship eventually as I dare say you know" and Jeff grinned. T think my first fight with Sharkey was about the toughest passage ev- CT naa. Sharkey. was, at that time, the toughest tough that ever drew breath, and when we elashed Nhe. Started III to play his little games with me. Well I don't want to brag, but when he tried to rough me tore him ito pieces like rat.
 ''The hardest puncher I ever ran up against was Bob Fitzsimmons. My goodness how that man coud punch. I caught one wallop in our second match that made me think of home and mother. If Fitz had only been a little bigger he would have achieved even greater fame than he has already done. But at that, I don't think he would ever have beaten me, for to tell you the truth, it was practically irn- possible to really hurt me when I was in my prime.
 And mention of the word prime brings me back to the present time. People who don't know me talk about me for all the world as though I were dead and buried. Why, I'm only thir- ty-five, and I have never dissipated. Then. why in the name of everything that is extraordinary, should not be as good a man as ever I was? When I started in to train for Ruhin in 1901 I weighed 280 pounds and was very little more when I started to get ready for Johnson. I weigh 230 pounds now, and it will take but very little work to see me in the pink of condition.''
