DOC REISLING RETIRES.
Game Twirler of Nationals is Through
With Baseball.

Washington, Feb. 21.-"Doc" Refs
ling has retired from baseball. The
veteran pitcher of the Nationals.
whose gameeness and willingness to
work for the best interests of his team
made him one of the most popular men
on the team last season, has probably
stood on the pitchers rubber for the
last time.
RcisinS says that he does not care
TO give any reasons for his retirement.
II has been stated that his practice
as a dentist is such that he does not
think 1t will pay him to leave ii to
play baseball during the summer. But
the fact that he refuses TO give a rea-
son for his quitting makes IL appear
that it is not his practice which has
determined him to take the step.

England, which is supposed to be
the home of fair play in sporting mat
tiers. seem to have something on your

tricks resorted to by its fighters.
In New York, recently, one Digger"

fought a rising young American fight
er, frankie Burns. The latter lacks
ring experience and some of the fight
ing generalship of his foe but his in
sistent attacks began TO do up the
Briton, who lost his temper. There
upon, says dispatches. the spectators
were treated to one of the foulest ex-
hibitions that ever a referee permitted
TO continue. Stanley "butted," "heel-
ed" "elbowed" and hit while holding
TO such an extent that the evenings
mystery was the referees failure to
disqualify him.
over ION the other side" some time
ago Freddie Welsh fought a fellow
countryman for the British champion
ship. Descriptions of the fight indicate
that Welsh fouled so repeatedly that
he at last tormented the mild manner
ed Jim Driscoll into retalliating and
the fight was lost then and there for

In this country few scrappers resort
to underhanded tactics. Battling Nell

Probably the lowest of all tricks
which Stanley is said to have turned
on his recent opponent was TO hit him

fighting and as having. fortunately.

Mt. Clare


MT, CLARE. Feb. 1s.-The strike
among the miners of the Domestic
Coal Company has been settled. The
men walked out last Tuesday in pro-
test against reduction of ten cents
per car and five cents per day de-
crease in the wages of the laborers.
For some time the strike leaders
held out for more money than they
had received before the reduction, but
a compromise was finally effected by
the acceptance of the same rate they
had been receiving. Like all the
mines in this region this one has
been working very short time Of late
and the employees thought the re-
duction was unjust. The concession
was willingly made by the company
