STATE POLICE STOP
 RIVERvIEW BOUTS
Captain Hurley Sounds Death
 Knell to East Hartford Boxing

Hartford, Feb. 18.-Boxing re- ford last evening when Captain Robert Hurley of the state police department climbed through the ropes during the third round of the Jack Kershaw-One Round Nolan fight, and exercising his authority he ordered the exhibition stopped. The action of the minion of the law came as a bolt from the blue to the 1,200 spectators, who received the announcement of the referee quietly and filed from the hall al- though there was few "hisses'' and "catcalIs.''
 At the time of the action by the of ficer Kershow was in bade shape, bor- dering on 8, K. O. Hurley said later that he was sorry to have been forced to take action as he held no scruples against boxing, but he had been sent to the hall with complete instructions. He said that Kershaw appeared to be
 outclassedy and to have no chance with his stronger and better trained oppon- ent
 Early in the evening it was noiscd
 about that a member of the state po-
 lice was present in the hall, and for
 this reason the announcer pleaded to the crowd to maintain good order.
 Several times during the night, Roar ing Red" Rorty protested against any
 undue demonstration. Prior to iIur- ley's action, Dave Palitz and Joe Shea,
 of Waterbury, talked with the official in an attempt to persuade him that both men were capable of standing the punishment that was being inflicted, ! but Bob" refused to "be showed" To the spectators who do not enter | tain a greed for gore, the action of the | state official was a Humanitarian ono, | as it appeared as if the local boxer was 1 doomed for terrible walloping and his l finish the inevitable.

WENCK VOTED DOWN
Decisions Not To Be Allowed And Black Whites Remain Barred Rickard Gets March 25

New York, Feb. 18.-Unless either party registers a knockout, the ten round bout between Jess Willard and Frank Moran in Madison Square Gar den the night of March 25 will have no bearing on the record of either pugilist. The last faint hope that a referees decision might widen the possibility of change of ownership to the title was snuffed out at yes terday's meeting of the State Athletic Commission in the Park Row offices.
 Frederick A. Wenck, chairman of the commission had been trying for several months to elevate the manly art. He thought ten round decision bouts would add interest to all glove contests He thought further that colored pugilists should be allowed to box with the whites. Commission CTS Dwyer and F'raney held opposite views. When Wenck presented his pet amendments they promptly voted him down by a count of two to one.
 This final decision came during a discussion of the new rules of box ing, which have occupied the atten- ton of the Commissioners since the first of the year. The rules will be announced within the course of a few days.
 The manager of Shamus O'Brien of Syracuse appeared before the commis- sion to press charges against Benny Leonard. It was alleged that Leonard wore hard bandages that did not con- form to the boxing laws. It was shown that the referee had found the bandages to be quite proper, so the case was dismissed.
  ed relapse the big contest will be on March 25. Tex Rickard took over yesterday afternoon the lease for that date which Jack Curley and Harry Pollock held on Madison Square Gar den. Tom Jones wired from Chicago yesterday that Willard had improved greatly and that he should be able to leave for New York some time early. next week.

 Instead of the usual monotonous outine of practice, Lauder intends to sIect two teams as soon as outdoor -ork is possible and put them through ve-inning games on each day of ractfce. He thinks a real test of the Iayers' skill is. better than the usual eldfng and batting practice.
 Besides the five deyarred players rale has lost through graduation ,aptain Middlebrook, Reilly, the star hird basema an, Hunter, a catcher, and 5awes, an outfielder. Bush at first ,ase is the only member of last -ears infeld who is available this

 cam will comprise the nucleus fo1 he twirling staff, while Garfield anC Grant of last years freshman nine Ire expected to develop into first string 1p4en.
 For the vacancies in the infield She'll, Fulton, Shipley, and Crotty are he most promising men, while Vaux ton may return to the outfield ant NJ udge and Munson are expected tt make the team as catchers.

Berea is certainly fortunate 10 Sc
cure the services Of two such sue
cessful revivalists in one year as
Mr. Knight who rendered efficient
service this winter, with such nota-
BILE results, and DR.. Lamar, who was
so successful in reaching the people
OF Berea a year ago. DR.. Lamar has
consented TO conduct summer re-
vival for about ten days beginning

DR.. Lamar is so well known in Be
rea from his meetings and lectures
that we need say nothing more about
him except that he will reach the
hearts OF his hearers. His meetings
are sure TO be full Of interest. A
Southerner, used To summer cam
paigning in revival work, the situa-
ton will be familiar one to him.
We are expecting great blessing as
result of his coming.
The churches of the town without
exception are heartily cooperating
with the Union Church, which Sc
cured his services, 10 make these
meetings OF spiritual benefit not only
to the town, but also TO make them
Of great service to all the country
region round about.
After July fist, special meetings
preparatory 10 the Revival will be
held in Berea and also in the ada
cent district. II is hoped through

TO enlist the cooperation OF all
Christian people and prepare for a
season OF religious effort that should
produce marked results.

To the strange persistency of the
collie Hudson gave attention now.
The animal released his hold of the
coat the moment Hudson changed
his course. Now, quite animated and
wagging his tail in a satifed way, the
dog trotted ahead Of Hudson!
"Our canine friend seems to have
some use for me, I see, and I'll follow
the adventure to the end" decided
Hudson.
It pleased his fancy and it made
Hudson forget his hunger, for he was
hungry. He was neither discouraged
no.. hopeless. His was too bright a
spirit for that. He had come from a
country town, an orphan, with only
a brief experience as a clerk in a
local general store, and had for two
months found position in city
business place. The firm had failed.
Since then, with empty pockets, the
daily program had been a quest for
new employment.
Bad as the situation was, Hudson
had inherited from it a most pleas
ing memory. IL was one or Hazel
Ross. She had worked in the same
office. She had liked him, seemed to
have few friends, and there was an
undertone of sadness in her life that
made Hudson believe she was under
the stress. Of trouble or sorrow. He
had however, never intruded on this,
although a mutual confidence and
interest had grown up between them.
Then the break in employment put
an end to their pleasant companion
ship.
The sweet, patient face of Hazel
Ross, her gentle guiding ways, had
made better man of him. They had
inspired the hope that some day he
might reach the crest Of fortune and
ask her to share hfe's experience
with him.
