Went in Disguise.

This time he went disguised as mask ed burglar and tried to pry open a screen ed window of the farmhouse to effect an entrance. Mrs. Ives, hearing him at work, started an investigation. She came face to face with the man who was "out for deviltry" and says that he was masked.
 Naturally startled at such an intru- sion, Mrs Ives called to her brother, Howard Williams, who, awakened from sleep, hastily dressed and hurried down stairs. But the masked man did not wait for further investigation. At a swift pace he beat it down the road.

Tracked in the Mud.

Rain had fallen that evening and the road was moist, so when MT Williams went ous to search for the intruder the following morning, he was easily track ed in the mud to Palmer's house.
 The case was laid before Deputy Sher- if Hornbeck of this village, who arrest ed Baird. Justice Blodgett, before whom Baird was brought. learned from the 19- year-sld. prisoners confession, that he "did 1t for dsviltry." He plead guilty to disturbing the peace and was fined $7 and costs. But with that fine went an order from the court that Baird make himself scarce in the state of Connecti- cut forthwith, which he agreed to do. These fellows who do such things ''just for deviltry" are not wanted in Falls Village nor it's vicinity, and as fast as their inclinations are made known, they will be summarily dealt with.

has authorized Harry Heagren to adj

won the midleweight title from Chris
Jordan, the Boston Greek wrestler, who
held the title. Gehring won the first
fall in 1 hour and 46 minutes, and the
second in 5 minutes. He has never
been defeated at his weight. Behring's
style and ability has earned him the
title of Young Gotch."
Yokel will wrestle Gehring If the
Cleveland man makes 1853 pounds for
the match. While Yokel admits he is
tackling a big job. he is willing to take
the chance. The match should be q
corker.
Portland fans have also been stirred
up by YekePs victories here. and have
written him for his terms on 9oing to
Portland to meet Eddie O'Connell
OConnell evidently made his big talk
upon returning to Portland, and despite
the fact that Yokel beat him here, the
Portland fans think their man can win
at home. Yokel advised them that he
would come for 80 per cent of the gate
receipts, round trip ticket and Edgar

BEAR STORIES OUT
ABOUT YALE TRACK
Outlook Said to Be Poor Because Of
Loss Of Veteran Point
Winners.

New Haven, Conn, March 19.-Yale's
track team has just left the gymnasium
and begun it's outdoor season. It was
the last of the Yale spring squads to
stop indoor work, and it has just begun
training for its first outdoor appear
ance of the season, the relay games Of
the University of Pennsylvania, next
month. Yales squad will be sent there,
as far as the regular members are con-
cerned, although 1t is likely that only
one relay team will compete-the two
mile quartette. which has been beaten
by only Harvard and Pennsylvania
teams the past winter. The team be-
gan outdoor work the first of the week.
The baseball men have been outdoors
II days, and the crew weeks.
Coach John Mack rugged up a new
board track on Yale field several weeks
ago to give the distance runners a
chance 70 practice outdoors weeks be-
fore the other athletes could leave the
gymnasium. but they are the only
members of the squad who have had
outdoor drill till yesterday.
Yale expects to make only a weak
track showing the coming season, but
Mack has developed several stars. In
cluded on the list are Garfield, who is
ClSdTluS the Oar at leet III Tic uiSn
Jump; Johnny Fitzpatrick, who will be
seen In the broad jump, the shot put,
the hurdles and the sprint races. Broad
jumping is his speciality, and he should
leap close to % feet this year. He is
the ali-round star Of the team and
should easily wiz the captaincy for next
year.
Yale will be strong in the field events,
but weak in the track competition.
Cooney the football center, feels that
he stands an even chance to CAPTURE
the hammer throw at the intercollegi-
ate this year. He should be in form to
heave the 16-pound weight ITO feet. He
touched 1853 feet last year.
In the pole vault, Captain Nelson and
Bobby Gardner are expected to rank
as stars. Each is capable of close to

pick up a few points in the mile, but
the other athletes are of only mediocre

Take all the reports Of the strenuous
training Of Jeffries with a grain OF salt,
for the unbeaten mar is not Of the dis
pc 5irion to ever enter Into another train
ing campaign such as is necessary to put
a man of his present physical condition In
shape for the task before him.
Jeffries Is making the mistake SO often
fatal to the unbeaten-taat Of underes-

giant boilermaker has such contempt
for the abilities of Johnson that he is de-
ceiving himself into the belief that he
can beat him In g punch and that he can
get that punch over Just as easily as he
did on Monroe and few other dubs
with whom he classes johnson.
1t Is q low estimate to say that Jeffries
has averaged twenty cigarettes day
for the past six years, 1890 year and
q 800 In six years, the time which will
fought and the time he is scheduled TO
meet johnson. Mix these figures with
half the number of drinks and you will
find that Jeffries has consumed enough
enough cigarettes to stretch from Chicago
to New York. In taking this into con-
sideration, 1t should be remembered that
Jeffries inhales every time he smokes

Any conditioner Of men regards cigar
cites as the worst enemy TO endurance
and far worse than drinking-in other
words, that the effect of ten drinks of

number OF cigarettes when they are in

The writer knows, from daily contact
with Jeffries at different periods of his

American Association Umpires
Viii Have Spring Practice

Chicago, March 19.-President Tom
ChiVington of the American association
has issued a call fer his umpires to re-
port to him at West Baden April 4, for
a weeks training and instruction before
the season opens. This is new depart
ure In baseball, and the result will be
watched with interest.
For many years it has been the custom
for baseball players to report from two
10 four weeks In advance OF the season
for training, but this has never been re-
Cuired of umpires. Usually the members
of league staff are called together for
instruction for a day, just before the
opening of the season, and the question
of condition is left to them.
That umpires should be in good physi-
cal trim when they go on the field is just
as necessary as it is with ball players, is
