TO ALLOW BOXING
 BEFORE CHARTERED CLUBS
Six Ounce Gloves and Unlimited Rounds Named in Bill Before State Legislature.

Hartford. March 9.-A bill which would allow boxing contests, unlirnit- ed rounds, and with every precaution made for examination of the contest ants and proper supervision of con ditions, was given a hearing before the committee on public health and safety today. The bill will provide that six-ounce gloves be used. Only chartered clubs will be allowed to car ry on the contests. Senator McNeil, in favoring the bill, claimed that box ing and other athletic contests are be- ing held in the state, in many in stances, in violation of the law. The bill provides for local option on the question of holding contests in towns, but does not contain the local optin feature as applied to cities.
 Richard Howell of Bridgeport also appeared in favor, saying that it aims to supervise sports that hitherto in this state have been going on with out supervision
 F. J. Maroney of New Haven spoke in favor. saying that boxing is per- mitted in that city and there is no faking.

JOHNNY EvEHs NOW
 ALL RicHT AGAIN.
His. Broken Leg as Good as Now Cub
 shortstop at His Old capsrs.

When the CulD had finished a yigor- ous workout of two hours in the not sun at New Orleans, Johnny Evers wore a smile. It was the first time since the day he slid into the home plate in Cincinnati last fall and crack ed bone in his leg that Johnny smile had been genuine.
 T gave the old leg a test today, and break the other one next fall so it will be as good said Johnny as he punched Mcintyre in the back to lend emphasis to his statement. The shoe merchant was as happy as a recruit who had just made good. He worked a few minutes on the diamond sum day, but not long enough to satisfy him. Monday he was at the ball park from 10 o'clock until after F, and for 3 full half hour off that time he was eating up ground balls on the infield
 Evers had determined to try every thing before the day was over, and to know once and for all whether his leg was going to be as good as ever. There have been many broken legs in the big league before, and few of them have come back. John knew this and decided to test his leg in every angle and position used on the infield. Jack Pfester. who was doing the hitting to the infield, made John chase over back of second and then over toward first, then come in fast and scoop low ones Ill Idct. 0edrIy every klnQ or d Ddii that could be hit during a season. John gathered them all with increasing speed until, toward the last, he was on the jump all the time, but happy.
 Several times Evers ran back of sec ond after balls, stopped short and piv- oted on his right leg-the one that was brolsen-and got the ball to first just as actively as ever. When the day was finished he declared he had felt no pain whatever at any time and that after five minutes of work he had forgotten all about the broken leg and was fielding balls just as he did in schoolboy days.
 Evers' performance was cause for ju- bilation to Manager Chance, too, and he remarked about it several times during the afternoon. With Johnny Evers playing the same kind of ball as in other years and nearly all of the veterans of the 300 club now in line. the prospects for the Cubs have frightened considerably.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
A TRANQUIL MARKET. Mexican Situation Has No Influence, Not Being Regarded as Serious.

New York, March 9.-The stock market passed through tranquil day with nothing to disturb the dead level of prices except moderate movements in half a dozen issues. Union Pacific, Great Northern preferred and Wabash preferred gained about Q point and Missouri Pacific lost a point. The other stocks, after q feeble advance at tho opening, fell back to approximately yesterdays final figures and were not disturbed again through the remainder of the sleepy session. The tone was good all day. however, and prices did not yield in spite of lack of demand from any quarter. The markets &C., ton indicated that the bulk of stocks is still in the hands of strong inter ests which are in a position to hold them indefinitely.

 Operations on the long side of the market could make no capital from the reduction of the English bank rate from 3 1-3 to per cent. The reduc- ton already had been, discounted in tn9 AOuQOu 1Il6TAeL du0 lldu IlO ence either herd or abroad. The change 1s the third cut sincs the first of the year and the fourth consecutive reduction since Oct. 20 last, when the rate was per cent. The banks re- serves were increased materially by the weeks operations, so that no dif1i- culty stood in the way of placing the official rate at figure near the pri- vate ioanfng rates in London.
 The call of the national comptroller of the currency for a statement of conditions as of last Tuesday is ex- pected to reveal very different state of affairs than expressed in the same month last year, when the enormous expansion in loans by banks in the west and southwest gave rise to much apprehension at this center. There is every reason to believe that this months call will show a marked con- traction over that of some two months ago and that the situation in the sec tions referred to has been largely ad- justed.
 Foreign exchange rates were lower today, following the reduction of the English bank rate. The change in the English rate, it is expected, will tend to reduce London borrowing such as has been going on recently in this market.

BILL BANNON, UMPIRE,
 CAUGHT THE BALL.
All That Saved His Life from Catoh-
 ers' Wicked Heave.

Bill Bannon and Bobby Hart, the two famous polo players and Eastern league umpires, broke into the umpir- ing game the same year in the Ohio and Pennsylvania lague. Both Ban non and Hart had played wonderful polo that season and their ability as athletes was so well known that Presf- dent Morton of the o. and P. had no hesitation in appointing both on his staff of arbitrators. Hart had a hard time with the fans for q while, but Ramon took to the work Nike a duck to water. Until they gained @ little experience, they worked double to- gether. Hart would judge strikes, while Ramon would look after the decisions on the bases.
 One day Akron and New Castle were playing a close game in Akron. Mickey L.alonge, a catcher now with San Francisco, was behind the bat. Mick /ey was noted for his strong throwing of him. A New Castle player had talk en a long lead off first and dashed for second on the next pitched ball.
 Lalonge received the ball and made a quick 1leave to second. The throw was little low and was going square ly for the silver head of Bannon Ban non had no time to dodge the toss Suddenly, acting on an uncomfortable impulse, he threw up his hands and caught the ball. The runner reached second in safety, and Manager Walter East and the other Akron players crowded around Ramon in angry pro- test. Ramon stood immovable and declined to utter single word, or to in any way express the reason For his peculiar play.
 After the game Hart asked Bannon why he had caught the catc11er's throw Looking around to see that not one was looking, Bannon exclaimed in a stage whisper, q did not intend to get killed when I am getting a salary o1 only $50 week."
 Bannon made his debut in the Tri- State league the next season, and um- pired last year in the I. I. I. league.

THOMPSON THE NEXT
 MIDDLEWElGHT CHAMPION. Ad WoIgast Says He is the Toughest
 Scrapper He Has Ever Met,

< Ad Wo1gast believes that Johnny Thompson, tho Sycamore fighter, is destined to be the middleweisht cham pion of the world.
 The little Chicago scrapper thinks Thompson is the toughest fighter he ever met. When Wolgast heard that Thompson had taken on SO much weight in Australia. as to graduat } from the lightweight class, Ad said he breathed a sigh of relief. Wolgast has fought Thompson and he knows the Sycamore bAttler is a tough proposi- tion, one that would stand a good chace of taking the Wolverine fighters title away from him If they were to meet in a long bout and Thampson could make the weight.
 'If the reports that have come from Australia regarding Thompson's surely will be the next middleweight champion" Wolgast said after his workout at O'Connell's on Monday. ''He is the toughest fighter ever met. He can take a lot of punishment with out any apparent effects and he has a good punch.
 His victory over Billy Papke proves my statements and if he is handled properly when hs returns to this coun- try, I am sure he will beat any of them, Sam Lantford included. I have three years. Consequently I do not know now good he ds, but think he has been in tho game a. little too long to beat a good fighter over the long route, and you must remember you cannot judge a champions fighting ability over the short distances"

GRANDMOTHER
USED SAGE TEA
10 Darker. the Hair and Restore
Gray and Faded Hair to Its
Natural Color.

1t is easier to preserve the color of
the hair than to restore it, although
it is possible to do both. Our grand
mothers understood the secret. They
made a sage tea,' and their dark,
glossy hair long after middle life
was due to this fact. Our mothers
have gray hairs before they are fifty,
but they are beginning to appreciate
the wisdom of our grandmothers in
using "sage tea" for their hair and
are fast following suit.
The present generation has the
advantage of the past in that it can
get ready-to-use preparation called
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy. AS scalp tonic and color
restorer this preparation is vastly
superior to the ordinary "sage tea"
made by our grandmothers.
This remedy is sold under guaran-
tee that the money will be refunded
if it fails to do exactly as represent
ed.
If your hair is losing color or
coming out, start using Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur today, and see what a
change it will make in few days
time.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents bottle, and is

There still seem to be some who do
not quite understand how to secure
one of those handsome carbon gray
ures that are being given away by
the Bemidji Pioneer. These carbons
can be secured only by subscribers Of
the Pioneer, and only on these condi-
lions. By making a payment of $1.25
on the daily or $3.50 on the Weekly.
The pictures are given as an induce
ment to get in the outstanding cash.
Many have called thinking that they
could buy them for cash, but the Pho
neer wishes it understood that these
will not be sold for cash until the
subscribers have had their chance to
get one for nothing. 1t looks too,
that there will be few left to be sold
unless another lot can be secured.
The pictures are going by twos and
tours hour after hour. Remember
that $1.25 payment Oh the paper
credits you with three months on the
Daily and entities you to your choice
of one picture. $3.50 pays you for
six months and two pictures and SIS
to a full years credit and four pic
lures.
1t takes $4,000 tons of paper to
make the postal cards used in the
United States each year.
