New York March 2.-(Specia1. )-The most important bout in the recent history of New Yorlxs prize ring will be pulled off in Albany a week from next Tuesday. Upon the decision rests the fate of boxing in the Empire state. On that day the Sen ate Cordes committee will give hnal hearing on the bill introduced by Senator Sake repeating the Frawley boxing law and putting prize fighting again in the outlaw class.
 There will be strong opposition to tho bill, but there Is a powerful sentiment behind it and just what the legislature will do about it is past prophesyins.
 Tn the meantime it is up to boxers and promoters to walk very carefully until the adjournment of the legislature. For so evenly balanced is the legislative opinion that good healthy boxing scandal would result in the outlawing of the game with out a doubt
 Word has been received here which makes it look like Jeffries really is in earnest in his desire for another go with Johnson. I understand the big fellow has been quietly trying himself out and has about convinced himself that he can come back The idea is fixed in his mind that he was drugged in that Reno fight and that another meeting with the black champion would leave another story to be told.
 This belief is shared by no less author ity than Bob Fitzsimmons.
 The freckled one said the other day:
 Two Johnsons would be easy for Jeff. Jeffries was doped in the fight in 1910. Any one who saw him three days before the fight would know the doping charge

tial sack problem Collins, Mullen and Rolle Zeider, all new corners, tried their hand at the task. Zeder appears about the best of the three named, but he only hit .254, which leads to the prognostica- ton that "Tex" Jones, who worked with the Sox on the spring training trip, may get an opportunity in the championship series this year.
 The Boston American leaguers tried out three men to supplant Jake Stahl last year-Claude Engle. Williams and Ralph Myers. The latter has been purchased by St. Louis, but Engle and Williams will fight for Stahl's job. The Nationals gave chances to Ingerton, Houser and Gowdy- the latter former Texas leasuer traded from New York. Gowdy looks like the most likely of the trio to usurp Tenny's job, unless it is decided to use him behind the bat. where he originally played

 An amusing story, taken from Bode's book on Goethe, appeared in Paris con- temporary. Tn August, ISIS. Goethe went to Carlsbad for the cure, and placed him self under the care of pr. Rehbein One morning when he rose he requested Charles, his domestic, to place bottle of red wine and a glass in each of the two windows in the room

to be a fact. And as the betting odds favored Jeffries it was to the gamblers advantage to put the white champion in a fix that would make him a mark for the black man. Flynn will be toy in the hands of Johnson. He will put up a. poor CT fight than Tommy Burns. Jeffries is the only man who has a chance with the champion and I am sure the former title holder can whip Johnson. But Jef- fries will have to have the proper train ing
 Ad Wolgast is about ready to fight again and there Is a good deal of specu- lation. It is the champions intention to take on a few six round bouts before he ties up for a championship battle. He is actuated by 8 double motive in this. In the first place it will mean a little easy money and then 1t will gradually harden him into form for a real fight.
 Owen Moran is anxious for the first bout with the returned champion and the little Englishman may get it. but Pal Moore or One Round Hogan seem to have the better chance of getting the opening battle.
 Johnny Conlon barely scraped through with decision in his fight with Frankie Burns. Conlon has held the belt for a long time now and it will not be long now before he will probably have to put the ex before his title.
 Packy Mcfarland and "One Round" Hogan have been matched to battle 10 rounds before the Fairmont Athletic club on March G. The boys will make 135 pounds al 3 o'clock.

EARLY GOOD ROADS WORK.

New lowasIsw Provides. For Township
Organization Next Monday.
Special to !Times-Republican.
Des Moines, Feb:.3.-As a result OF
the interview with the attorney general
calling attention to the. new Iowa law
which requires township trustees to
get actiorlsthis month, for good roads.
many letters have been received at the
state legal department, showing that
the interest taken is very great in all
parts of the state.
Every board Of trustees in the state
is required by law to select a superin-
tendent Of road dragging n employ a
road supervisor at the regular trustees
meetings next Monday, Feb. 5.
Unless this is done the road work
will be delayed, and inasmuch as this
is the first year for the trying out Of
the new system, and now for the first
time the officials have opportunity to
start even with the year. it is regarded
as of the utmost importance that this
clause in the new road law be not over
looked.
Good judges say that in view Of the
steady winter, the depth of the freezing
and the amount of NOW on the ground,
there Is going to be greater need of
early road work than ever before. A
period of very bad roads is almost GER
tain in the spring. The breaking up
can be delayed only a few weeks
longer.

PRODUCE HOUSE FLOODED.
Nevada Suffers Water Famine as Re
suit Of Leaks in Mains.

Special to Times-Republican.
Nevada, Feb. 3.-Nevada is and has
been for some time up against it with
the city water works. The pumping APP
paratus has been giving more or less
trouble and a week ago ago yesterday
for some unknown reason the water
began to disappear as fast as it could
be pumped. The only way to get any
supply for fire protection was to shut
off the mains and. fill the supply tank
during thesnight. Yesterday afternoon
a broken water pipe was found in teh
basement of the Swift & Co. plant.
which had been closed for a couple of
weeks inc the entire basement of that
mammoth building was filled with
about -four feet of water running in a
|two-inch stream with heavy force. On
the other side of the basement is a
small drain tile which was carrying the
water into the drain tile at q somewhat
slower rate. This leak was stopped, but
this morning another was discovered
on a tap on Lynn street and the water
is again shut of in the mains. The
Nevada Gas Plant can not operate be-
cause Of the lack Of water and many
other users are greatly Handicapped.
