MT. CLAIRE, April IS-iconsider-
able dissatisfaction exists among

ruling OF the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company in regard to the
loading OF cars, not consigned to
lake points, Under the new ruling,
cars loaded below their capacity
will be charged for at the$ full ca
.paeity rate, and the coal taken from
overloaded cars will be applied on
the cost of reducing the excessive
tonnage.
The mine people say it will be i'm
possible to comply with instructions
for the reason that there is a diner
ence in weight Of the different
grades of coal. The question is be-
ing considered and some kind OF
protest win be lodged with the rail-

BOSTON RELAY TEAM
FOR PASTIME GAMES FAST

Word has been received from Boston
that the men who hope to make the
team that will represent Boston at
the Pastlme A. C. games on March u
are training hard. The team will be
chosen from the following men: w. c.
Salisbury, Massachusetts, Institute of
Technology; H. w. Holden, Bates Col
lege; w. j. Bingham, w. c. Prout, F.
P. o'Hara and Merrihew, Boston 4. A.
It is doubtful II a quartet can be got
together In New York that will be able
to beat the Boston team. and It looks
as though the Boston athletes will be
revenged for past defeats In New
York.
Mike Murphy, in Philadelphia, Is
looking among the talent in that city
for men that will make a good show
ing, and while Mike is not saying a
great deal he thinks his men will be
right up at the finish, In they are
likely to spring a surprise on the Bos-
ton and New York cams
The intercity relay race will be the
best thing of its kin seen in Madison
Square Garden this winter and will
bring together the best Quarter-milers

Lang was all nerves He seemed scared
to death, and his disqualification was
the best thing thai could have hAr-

was bound to have been put out II he
had not transgressed.
AS early as the first round San,

second the negro forced the Australian
into q neutral corner and dropped hii1l
for a count OF nine with terrific left
and right swings to the Jaw.
Lang went down again for nine in the
third round by a right TO the point of
the jaw, but came back In the fourth
and stood up and exchanged left and
right swings with Langford at a tar.
rife rate. At that period OF the bout
both Of Lans's eyes were almost closed
and Lansford was laughing.
The Australian took q long count
twice more In the fifth, but in spite oc
the heavy punishment he carried the
fight to Langford the next time up.
and In a fast i~nfighting rally put the
latter down. but this was more by ac-

greatly excited and pretty hazy by this
time and he rushed his opponent, strik-
ing him heavily before Lansford could
regain his feet.
