LONDON, Dec. 23.-Most of the
prominent professional cricket clubs
in England show an alarming finan-
cial deficit for the season, as result
of the damper which war put on the
sport after August /.
The Lancashire Cricket club, with
an annual income Of about $4,000,
had loss of $6,500. The Northamp-
tonshire club was able to finish its
season only through the receipt of a
gift of $4,000 from Lord Lilford. an
enthusiastic follower Of the sport.
The club has decided to abandon the
game for the year 1915 and assess
all members a sum sufficient to en-
able the organization to start the
1916 season free Of debt.
The Hampshire County club, after
beginning the year with large sur
plus, finds itself at the end of the
season with a deficit of $4,000. Exac'
figures are not available for the Other
prominent clubs, but it is known thai
all hae suffered severely.

A little over a week ago Mrs.
Harry Thompson and Miss Mary

which developed into heated argu-
ment and finally Miss Conley made a
remark-in the presence of two wit

Thompson to such an extent that she
did bodily violence to the other party
to the misunderstanding.
Seeking revenge in the courts, Miss
Conley had Mrs. Thompson arrested
and the trial took place before JUS

terday afternoon. The defendant was
found guilty and fined $25, but the
execution of the sentence was sus
