Conklin played with great confidence all the way from his opening run of 29, while Poggenburg was disconcerted at the outset when promising run in the opening was spoiled by foul on his twenty second shot Conklin's game was steady when he got set for runs and as usual it was mostly made up of open table work.

kAuFMAN's BIG SALARY.
Heavyweisht Fighter to Get $5o;ooc
 for Two Years.

New York, Feb. 16.-Ai Kaufman, the heavyweight pugilist, has sold his career for two years to Barney Gerard of New York for $50,000. Another con tract was also signed whereby Gerard promises to pay all of the puglisist's travelling expenses and board bills dur Ing that time. The papers were sign ed on Saturday in Baltimore.
 It is doubtful if ever a greater chance agreement was drawn up be- tween two men. Recently Kaufman has been receiving flattering offers from William Brady. Jack Gleason and others, which caused Gerard to sit up and take notice.
 Gerard believes that eventually Kaufman will fight Johnson, and that he will be returned the winner.
 The only bad feature of the sign-up thing falls on the shoulders of Kauf- man, for should he meet the cham pion and score a win over him within the time stated in his contract he will be worth more than twice the amount for which he signed.

STORY OF A MUD HEN.

And the Men Who Tried to Shoot Or
Drown tho Bird.
ut Is mighty hard thing to down
a mud hem" said Portland Official.
EVERY one knows this homely bird, so
clever that It can dodge the flash Of a
gun. making 1t very hard to kill If
any one ever wanted to kill one.
"A friend Of mine who was a great
hunter. but not acquainted with the
mud hen. was out hunting on the Co.
lumbia sloughs some years ago when
he saw what he thought was some
kind Of duck floating on the water.
He aimed his shotgun and fred. but
the bird dived as the gun was dis
charged. and the shot struck the wa
ter where the bird had been a mo-
ment before. AS the smoke cleared
away the hunter saw the bird come to
the surface. and he gave it the other
barrel. with the same result
His obstinacy was now aroused,
and he determined to kill that bird be-
fore he left the place. He shot away
every round Of ammunition he had,
but the bird lodged every one and
still floated in the same spot. In great
disgust my friend sat down on the
bank and lit his pipe. At the first puff
Of smoke the bird dived again, and
this gave him his inspiration.
ITO make a short story. he smoked
up all his tobacco in an effort to drown
the mud hen. but when darkness fell
and he started for home the bird was
still floating in the same old spot
