Calais and It's lighthouse.

Calais is rather an untidy place for a French town The Place d'Armes. where the tower of the Hotel de Vile has remained since the fifteenth cen tury. is the center spot Here Calais meets it's friends and has its cafe noir. In the square. towering out of the roofs of surrounding houses and dwarfng them is the old watchtower. Since 1848 it has been superseded as a lighthouse by the magnificent one at present in use Never shall l forget the effect of this lighthouse as stood under it that night. The revolving spokes of light cast away into flmy space in all directions. looked like the ribs of a huge umbrella being turned by the white handle. which was the lighthouse tower. So tall is this that it's revolving light can be seen from a distance of twenty miles at sea.--Wide World

 New Haven is having little trou

 claims that the venture last season
 was losing one, but the managers say this is hardly probable in view of
 the monster crowds which witnessed the games.
 So anxious are the Waterbury stock holders to have Mickey Finn back next season that they have made him an extremely attractive offer. If Finn is willing to pay $2,250 cash down, the stockholders will raise the balance necessary to make up the S4,50O needed to obtain Harry Durant's "A per cent. stock in the club and lend the money to Finn, until such time when he can pay it back.

Especial from United Press)
 New York, Jln .19.-The biggest compliment that has yet been paid Packy Mcfarland on his victory over Jack Goodman, Tuesday night, came from Abe Attell, today, the feather weight champion. who frankly ac- knowledged that he was mighty glad he had slipped out of Q match with Mcfarland a month ago when an eff fort was made to bring them to- gether.
 Atten witnessed Packy's clean knockout of Goodman and he said he was surprised at the strength dis played by the stockyards champion.
 eff I had gone through with my match with Mcfarland I would have had to give him at least 12 pounds" said Attell And I guess I wouldn't have been a sucker"
 Mcfarland says that he has Ad wolgast's positive word that the champion will meet him in 10 round bout in Milwaukee, on Febru- ary 22.

 Sir-It is said around this city that Geo. Bentz once the local. champion roller skater passed some remark around the Park City ring last even ing after my race, saying that he would not have been beaten except for one of the skate boys pushing a pole in front of him after had pass ed him. There was nothing of the kind and if Bentz thinks he can trim me I am out with challenge to meet him at any time for a side bet, for any distance so it will be his word yes or no for another race.

EVEN "PROFESH" COULDN'T BRING
 A WIN TO DERBY

Even with the addition of one Mc- Conochie. claimed to be professional, hailing from Winsted. the Derby team of the State Basketball League was not the equal of it's Bridgeport brethren in the battle last evening at the State armory. the residents pull ing out a 2S-20 victory. The biggest crowd of the season turned out to see the evenings sports. Following the games dancing was enjoyed until a late hour.
 To lead up to the main battle of the night, two preliminaries were ruin off In the first game the St. Josephs of the City League were given good prac- tce in an encounter with the Locomo- bile quintet The Joes had an easy far from being in trim, it being their first appearance of the season.
 Those Seaside Girls who a few weeks ago could not lift a ball over their heads. are improving at a rapid rate. They have been rehearsing under the tutelage of Joe Heating for some few nights at the Warner Institute. com ing back strong in their little melee with the University Girls, winning by a shut-out, TO. That they had to go some to make their few points Is evil dent, as Molly Shearin was in the University lineup. Dark haired Mar garet Maloney was the bright partic- ular satellite of the evening, throwing two of the baskets for the Seaside Girls.
 The State League contest was not the fastest ever played at the armory, of play. Bridgeport took the jump almost from the start, keeping in the van all throughout. At one time the locals held the upper hand at 26-9. but the Derbyites picked up courage and through speedy and nifty tossing oh fx, I> ID; smalling was the leading performer of the night. shaking the net six times. Bill O'Malley was there for three goals. The shooting of the baskets, though it brings home the counts. does not by any means show who is play put in one of the finest exhibitions of guarding that one would desire to witness. Burdick does not go in for the flashy business. but plays the game which brings the best results to his teammates.

He made the excuse after the game that a soft ball was in use. A light haired young ster.

WHITE WINGS THE FIRST OPPONENTS OF MECHANICS
 WHEN THIS SEASON OPENS

Bridgeport unlike last year will open her season playing with the New Ha- vens at Newfield Park. The day follow ing. Saturday, the White Wings meet i the Bridgeport at Savin Rock.

 When the league managers suggest ed to Sid Challenger the days they de sired during the playing season, 1t was again decided by all the managers that the schedule should call for all Waterbury's Monday games at home. They are to draw these games with the understanding that the clubs bill- ed to play there Monday shall play the Sunday preceding. It was Sun day ball which had so much to do with the keeping of the F'innegans on the right side of the ledger last sea- son..
 Attorney George Corbett of New York who is associated with John H. Freeman and Gene McCann in the control of the Bridgeport franchise has been in town for the past few days and with Manager McCann has been looking over Newfield park with the intention of making many needed improvements. The entire field is to be graded while though not as yet de- cided upon, it is probable that an ad- dition will be made to the grand stand which will include additional exits to that structure. Other improvements which will go to make the park the home of first class club will be car ried out
 All around the circuit there are prospects, for a bigger And better sea- son in 1911. Over at Savin Rock, Manager Cameron, who owns the field has extended his grand stand at an outlay of more than s3.0O0. so that it now includes the left field bleachers. This will practically bring the entire

MUTILATED CURRENCY.
Often Used In Attempts to Cheat the
 Treasury Department.


 Treasury Department Many efforts are made to cheat tn. cle Sam through the redemption divi sion of the treasury department. which division has 10 do With retleemiGg part. ly destroyed government currency. Once man in q western state sec. in half of a ten dollar bill. accompa nied by an affidavit to the effect that while on q spree he had used the other half to ligat cigar. The half he ssr- warded was nicely charred along rhe inner edge. and the story would have been accepted by treasury officials bad 1t not been that within twenty-foir hours there was received from bank in the same state the other half of the note.
 The theory of treasury officials was that while more or less intoxicated the man had struggled for possession of the bill with some one who had wrest- ed half of it from him; that the de spoiler had turned the half into the bank and received five dollars for it; that the intoxicated man. recovering his senses. had found the other half in his pocket and. not wishing to lose his money, had conceived the plan of singeing the. edge of the note and claiming that the other half had been destroyed. So he committed perjury in an attempt to rob the government of $5.
 A man in Cleveland sent an affidavit to the treasury department accom- panying the singed half of two twen- ty-dollar bills and one ten-dollar bill. This affidavit was typewriter and in perfect form. It set forth that the that after returning from journey be had been cleaning out his travelling bag when Inadvertently he had thrown into the fire an envelope containing $50 in bills: that in accordance with section so and so he would like to have the money restored to him., etc
 The clerk who brought this docu- ment to the officials commented on it's lucidity and completeness. but to one of these the story seemed unnatural. and he ordered that the claim be held up for awhile.
 Twenty-four hours later big ship ment of mutilated currency came from a subtreasury In the west The official who had ordered the claim held up asked whether there were any half notes in this shipment. in four or five minutes a clerk brought him the missing halves of the bills the Cleve- land man had sent in.
 The attempt to defraud was plain The matter was at once put into the hands of the secret service division. and man was sent west to investi- gate. The man who had made the affi- davit confessed at once. He had cut the bills in halves and for one-half of them obtained S25. The other half he singed and attached to his affidavit The gross profit of the swindle could not have been more than $25, and for that trifling sum the man forfeited his liberty for year and ha Wash ington Star.

 New York, Jan. 19.-Although he showed improved form in the final block of his pool match with Cham pion Alfred De Orc, William H. Clear water failed to wrest the title, the final score being 500 to 503. Despite De Oro's statement that he would give up the title in case he defeated Clear water it is believed he will now go ahead and defend the title against the challenge of Thomas F. Huston. De Gro would have relinquished the title, today, had John Daly, who recently lifted the three-cushion title from him, accepted his challenge for re- turn match.
