 Madison Square Garden, N.Y., Dee. 6.--The fourteen riders left in the annual six-day race, were still tied, plugging along at record breaking speed and trying desperately to kill off the weaker riders by frequent sprints, early today.
 Despite the wild sprinting that has marked the first day of the race, all the teams appear to be in good phy- sical shape and the officials believe that a majority of those now left will be in at the finish, Saturday night.
 The race, however, is proving a great strain on the riders, even at this early date, for the frequency of the sprintS necessitates the presence at the track side of nearly all the riders, the extra men being ready tc they are in danger of being Tapped. As a result there has been little rest for any of the men and they are already beginning to show the effects of the loss of sleep.
 Those who witnessed last nights sprinting declare that Rutt and Stol would undoubtedly have gained their coveted lap, on the rest of the field, but for the fall of both by Walthour. Rutt started the sprint and gained half a lap before he was relieved hy Stol. Then the two men alternatel in the wild dash and were gaining on the bunch when WaIthour's rear tire exploded and he was thrown with great force. This called off the sprint and the lap was not gained. WaIthour was badly skinned up but continued in the race.
 During a fast sprint that was

New York, Dec. 6.-Tommy Houck of Philadelphia defeated Jimmy Car roll of Frisco in ten slashing rounds of fighting at the Olympic A. c. Of Harlem last nght. The first looked as if Carroll would make @ short fight of it. In the second HouclS managed to hold him even, and in the next session started the forcing. In the fourth round Houck brought the claret from Jimmy's mouth with a hard right, but the latter was right back, fighting hard, mixing it up in the centre of the ring as the bell rang. The remaining rounds founl Houck the aggressor, shaking up his adversary occasionally with hard right jolts to the jaw.

LOCAL PROMOTERS MAKE OFFER FOR
 POLO FRANCHISE

Providence, Dec. 6.-The Worces- ter club of the National Polo league is in a bad way. The team is at the bottom of the heap and needs strengthening. At an important meetiliG of the league held here yes- terday, the matter of adding strength to the club was brought up. It was decided to give the club players from the other teams, so that the outfit would be the equal of any other club in the league. The weakened team has caused considerable of a falling off in the attendance at the games. There was nothing said about the transferring of the franchise to an- other city, though promoters from Bridgeport have placed in an appii- cation for franchise, and that city is to be considered should any of the present clubs fall away.

 BATTLE AT THE GARDEN

started by Thomas, of the western team, at S.30, Julian Puchois, of the French team, was Tapped by the bunch. Pouchois had been riding at & steady pace and it was evident that ne was tiring, when Thomas and Moran started a desperate sprint. In the first three laps Pouchois had lost one lap. Not satisfied with one lap on the Frenchmen, the wild pace was kept up, MacFarland and Root, Clarke and Rutt, taking turns at leading the field a merry clip. When the riders drifted back into the old grind, the Frenchmen were eight laps in the rear and hopelessly out of the race. At o'clock the thirteen lead ing teams had completed 684 miles. laps, while Pouchois and Georgct had registered 6s4 miles 1 lap.

Band Entertainment.

The members of the. Won
Prosky band are working faith
fully to provide themselves with
uniforms and Thursday gave a
musical entertainment for. that
purpose. Other matters in con-
nection with the district court
prevented as large a house as
the boys would otherwise have
been greeted by. The persons
present all speak of it in the
highest terms. The net pro-
ceeds will go to swell the fund
with which to buy uniforms.
This was not band concert but
as the program stated musical.
Misses Gladys Buis, Hope Os-
good and Beulah Marshall each
rendered piano solo and we're
greeted with applause after
each number. Mrs. McNellis,
Francis Backe and F. E. Bowen
favored the audience with vocal
music, each being encored. Per-
haps a number which pleased as
we'll as any other one was the de-
livery of a recitation by Mrs.
Woodford, the Hutchinson elo-
cutionist, who is visiting Mrs.
Elsie Griggs. Prof. Won Prosky
in his usual finished, classical
style rendered violin and later
cornet solo. The boys of the
band who gave solos we're all
praised by those who heard
them. At the finish Carl Ellis
took the house with a buck and
wing clog dance. Other duties
prevented us from having the
pleasure of attending, fol
which reason we are not able t.
give any but hear-say evidence
But in a case OF music that is
better than our own opinion, fol
what we never knew of music is
a plenty.

District Court Proceedings.

AS noted last week court be-
gan the session of the March
term on Tuesday, and heard
argument on law cases, arrang-
ed the work of the court for the
term, heard evidence in default
cases and transacted other busl-
ness not requiring jury.
In the mean time the attor-
neys were preparing for such
cases as were to be contested.
The criminal docket was called.
The state of Kansas VS. J. F. Gill
was dismissed on the motion of
the county attorney. This is
the case wherein Gill was charg-
ed with burning the depot at
Fowler. The case, state of Kan
sas VS. Phelps, Griggs and Davis
was called, the state introduced
it's evidence, whereupon the de-
Tense demurred to the evidence
the court sustained the demur-
rer, and the case was dismissed
n d defendants discharged.
The meaning of the above is that
the state failed to produce evil
dence sufficient to show that a
crime had been committed, hence
the case was dismissed.
In the case, State of Kansas VS.
D. B. Novel a jury was empan-
neled after some time spent in
examining those called as to fit
ness to sit. The evidence was
all heard and the trial fought to
a finish, the court charged
the jury and they retired to de-
liberate on the verdict, which re-
suited in a verdict of guilty, be-
ing returned. In this case
Novel was charged with assault
and battery on the person OF
Nellie Walters.
The case of r. E. Marshall VS.
Dennis Martin was called and
trial begun and has not yet been
finished at noon Monday. This
is a suit for damages. The plain
tiff alleged that defendant over
drove a horse belonging to plain
tiff. There are some nice law
points in this case which viii
have to be threshed out.
The case following this is the
state of Kansas VS. Ira Reese il
which larceny is charged. There
are other cases to be heard, the
result of which trials we will give
next week.
