WOULD BET ON
PENNANT RACES
SYNDICATE OFFERS UNUSUAL
PROPOSITION WHICH BALL
MAeNATEs ARE NOT SLOW
TO DENoUNcE.

New York. MARCH, 2.-There were
received here today by express from
Kentucky circulars of a betting syn
dictate which offers to accept bets on
the outcome of the approaching PEN
nant races in the National and Ameri-
can baseball leagues and the American
association and also on club series.
The circular caused some uneasiness
among local baseball men, who were
quick to denounce the scheme and Il
is understood that immediate steps
will be taken by the officials of the Ma
tional and American leagues to check,
If possible. what they consider a mem
ace TO the national game. Gambling
has long been tabooed in professional
baseball. and the feeling seems gener-
al that if it is brought into the game,
IL will be detriment to a sport that
is now clean and healthy.
Some persons attribute the new
scheme to book makers whose revenue
has been cut off by the passage of an
ti-race track betting laws. The syn
dictate announces I'm its circular that
il is willing TO accept bets of IS or
over, which shall be sent by express
telegraph or telephone.
According to the book" it has
planned to that New York will not
finish first in the National league race.
That the Giants will not finish second
3 to is offered and for third place 1
to 4 is quoted. In the American
league, Philadelphia is the favorite at
to to win, 1 to for second place
and 1 TO for third.
In addition to bets in the pennant
races the offer is made to lay odds on
the standing of the clubs in mid-sea-
son.
In fact, every sort OF imaginable
combination for wagering is offered
baseball enthusiasts.

"Sir, are you man of courage?"
The gentleman. still more astonish-
ed at the singularity OF his interroga-
tory, demanded the reason why such
a question was put to him. adding
that no man had hitherto doubted his
courage.
"Sir. you are to be robbed and muir

The merchant, being convinced that

orally the directions he had received.
He accordingly drove to the hotel

WARM FIGHT AT
CAUCUS TONIGHT
BIG FIELD OF CANDIDATES FOR
VACANT POSITIONS ON
COUNCIL. NO oPPosI-
TON TO WILLS.

Although 1t is practically certain
sitons of president, clerk, treasurer,
and assessor at the Laurium caucus
tonight, the large field of candidates
in the race for positions on the coun-
Gil indicates a warm fight. The fact that
no opponents have entered the race
leads to the suppositon that Joseph
Wills will be the unanimous choice of
the caucus for the office of president.
For the council, there are seven cam
didates i'm the field, Bernard ]. Holm
George Labby, j. H. Manner, Harry I.
lngersoll and probably Malcolm Nc
Leod. AS all are well known and
pouar throughout the village, the out
come is very much i'm doubt. 1t is
very likely that the nomination ticket
will have opposition at the polls.
Soon after the new councilmen take
up their duties, 1t likely will be nee
essary to name a successor for Samuel
Jeffery who has left the village and
probably will tender his resignation.
The losing candidate who makes the
best showing will undoubtedly stand a
good chance to land this appointment.
Council Meeting Tuesday.
Although the regular meeting of the
council will be held next Tuesday
evening, it is not likely that any spec
ia business will be considered, this
being deferred until the new trustees
assume their duties.

Johnson was compelled to go to hos
pital, / wondered whether he was such
a formidable man as some people were
inclined to believe he was. SO l wrote
a personal letter to Jeffries and asked
him to let me fight Johnson first. My
idea was to meet Johnson i'm the ring
and i'm that fight he could get a line
on him. Jeffries, of course, would be
at the ringside and would be I'm a po-
sition to judge his merits. Then JEFF

Johnson until he was i'm fit physical

ring for another year
"Jeffries did not like the idea Of my
meeting him first as the press and the
general public were clamoring for the
fight"

Ithaca, March 2.-Just as the word
had gone out that Cornell was in fine
shape this year. with all but one of last

places for the year, the results of the
mid-winter examinations have taused
another loss. Sewell Names, the dad

DULUTH WILL HAVE RINK
FOR HOCKEY And CURLING

Duluth is to have a rink for COM
bined curling and skating purposes

quate size but credit TO the city,

A largely attended and enthusiastic
meeting of the Curling club was held
last night at their rooms in the rink

ton and recommended the purchase
of what is known as the Craig prop
erty on the southwest corner of Lon
don road and Fourteenth avenue east.
II has a frontage of London road of
175 feet and a depth of $50 feet The
report was adopted by unanimous vote
and the president authorized to APP
point a committee to obtain subscrip-
tions from among the members Of the
club to make the purchase. The OPP
ton is in force for go days.
The price of the property is $4,000
which, however, includes a large
house and it is believed that the own
er will make a reduction for the build
ing, moving 1t off.
President Jones addressed the club
at some length, urging the members
to stick together and take advantage
of the present offer. He pointed out
how the popularity of skating as a
winter sport is increasing and hoped
that the club would remain as a body
and take action before il is too late

POLICE OF PARIS,
Their Methods Effective Even il
Sometimes Dramatic.
TESTING A MAN OF COURAGE.
The Secret Service Knew More About
His Own Affairs Than He Did Him
self and Proved II In a Most Startling
and Conclusive Manner.

The police of Paris have always
made 1t a rule to keep closely in touch
with the criminal element. the spies
and secret officials OF the department
posing as criminals among the real
criminals when necessary TO learn their
secrets. The following incident. in
which the national impulse for dramat-
ic effect crops out. will serve to illus.
trate how well ut times they do their
work:
At the beginning of the French rev.
olution the chief of the police of Paris
had upon his register the names OF no
fewer than 1000 suspected and deprav-
ed characters whose pursuits were
known TO be of criminal nature.
A merchant of high Responsibility In
Bordeaux had occasion 10 VISIT Paris
upon commercial business, carrying
with him bills and money to very
large amount. On his arrival at the
gates of the French metropolis gen.
teel looking man opened the door OF
the carriage and addressed him TO this
effect:
"Sir, I have been waiting for you
some time According TO my notes. you
were to arrive at this hour. and. your
person. your carriage and your port
manteau exactly answering the de-
scription | hold in my hand. you will
permit me TO have the honor OF con-
Quoting you to NJ. de Sartine."
The gentleman, astonished and
alarmed nj this interruption and still
more at hearing the name of the CHIEF
inspector of the police mentioned. de-
manded TO know what VI. de Sartine
wanted with him. adding that he had
never committed any offense against
the laws and that the police could
have no right 10 detain him.
The messenger declared himself ig'
norant of the cause of the detention
and said that when he had conducted
him TO VI. de Sartine he should nave
executed his orders. After some fur
ther explanations the gentleman per
mitted the officer 10 conduct him TO
the police official.
NJ. de Sartine. the chief of police. re
ceived him with great politeness and,
after requesting him to be seated, to-
his establishment described his port
manteau and told him the exact
amount In bills and cash which he
had brought with him to Paris. where
he was to lodge. his usual time OF
going to bed and number of other
circumstances which he had conceived
were known only to himself.
Having thus excited his attention,
