Bridgeport and Stratford can well gaze upon Wallingford with Q look of envy. The annual town meeting in this New Haven county town is sched- ulHd for tomorrow night. The cause of the envy is the fact that it seems to be a foregone conclusion that it will be decided to levy 1T mill tax for the current years expenses. Stratford and Bridgeport property owners would be "tickled to death'' if present valuations could stick, and the towns business operated for a year at IT mill tax

 At the same time I recognize the fact that other sections of the Terri tory must depend on private enter prise for their development II would therefore invite capital by attractive legislation and other fair means.

 Mir. Galen also gave a short and modest account of himself as fol lows:
 T came from Montana, my native state. to Alaska in 1900 and engaged in mining near Nome for a number of years.

Schoolboys Start Campaign
for Erection of Athletic Field

A campaign was started yesterday in
this city for the erection of an athletic
field for schoolboy sports when peti-
ton signed by $500 high school students
was drawn up. 1t is the intention of the
lads to have the petition presented to
the Board of Estimate.
Faced by the fact that this city does
not boast single field of its own which
can take care of more than 1000 spec
tators the students have crystallized
their protesting opinions into the pres
ent petition.
During the last football season one
of the more popular games drew $4,000
enthusiasts. The admissions charged to
these games have ranged as high as 81.
The boys feel that with a municipal
field the range of prices could come
down.
There are twenty-five high schools in
New York with an average attendance
of 1000 pupils each. The enrolment
of De Witt Clinton Is 5000. The in
creasing list of applicants indicates the
need OF a stadium similar to the ones
maintained by Baltimore and Chicago.
Emil Levin of the Inter High School
League Is fostering the movement and
II was at his suggestion that the petit
tlon was drawn up.

yesterday said that he had received a
telegram from the Vernon officials de-
clining to make .he deal on the revised
terms wired to them oaly few days
before. I'VE will get May before jan
uary 10 or We will not get him at all"
said Barrow. who registered impa tience
This was taken to mean that the
New YorlSs had on opt;cn on another
left handler and that they would close
that deal If the Vernon officials did not
accept the suggested terms by the date
named. After January 13 the rule
which stipulates that AZ players sent
down by major league club to a minor

effect. so Vernon. no doubt. viii come

For the folks on the other side of the

ring Of Madison Square Garden tonight
and attempt to stave Off the attack OF q
young person named Midget Smith.

jingied at frequent intervals yesterday
and when he answered the bell he was
interrogated as to the probable identity
or the referee and the judges who would
officiate tonight in the title combat.
Mr. Muldoon replied that he had not
decided on the officials for the bout
but would give all information at 10
o'clock tonight. Under the Walker law
contestants in the chief match must
be In the ring not later than 10 p. NJ.
and the referee will make his appear
ance at the same time. The judges Will

encounter is staged and Mr. Mudoon
said he Will see to 1t that they are not
approached by any one OF speculative
tendencies.
for the inQuisitiveness regarding the
ring officials except, on the theory that
the betting element was attempting q
coup. Muldoon is prepared to guard
against 1t.
Both Lynch and Smith were barred
from the Garden some months ago for
the reason that they had failed to keep
themselves fit physically. They were
reinstated on promise that they would
do better. Both have had few bouts
outside the city. and there is no reason
to believe that they are not now in good
condition. Smith went to jersey City
last Monday night and battled for IL
furious rounds with Johnny Curtin and
seemed to be fresh at the close Of tho
contest The midget weighed 100 pounds
for Curtin. and there is reason to believe
he will not have much trouble making
11S at O'Clock this afternoon.
Lynch has won two or three contests
with opponents of moderate ability, and
has apparently fought himself into
good condition. When the champion Is
physically prepared for battle he
usually gives a good account OF himself,
but IL he is careless In respect to fitness
he saddens the onlookers. Both Lynch
and Smith have good reason to make
showing. for II they fail they might

says that a boxer Is technically defunct
at 3S. When the Duke says that a
boxer Is defunct il is just as though the
grim reaper tapped him on the shoulder
and said. Beat 1t. Kid"
In fact the Duke of Muldoon lis a bit
grimmer than the Grim Reaper himself.
And to add TO the anguish of Mr..
O'Rourke the Duke has decreed that
Jawn KiIbane, the venerable feather
weight champion, is guilty of lese ma
jeste and cannot bex in New York State
during the reign OF William. the Duke
of Muldoon. Mr.. O'Rourke, as every
body knows. had planned to match XII
bane and Criqui at the Polo Grounds
next summer. Again William. the Duke
OF Muldoon. forbids the banns.
This Lese Majestic Business.
Lese majestic, as everybody knows. Is
most serious offense when you con-
slider the dignity of the Duke of Null
doom. Perhaps the only adequate pun
ishment for II would be to have Mr..
Kilbane. the offending boxer, seat him
self in the electrical contrivance which
they maintain at Sing Sing for offenses
of sufficient gravity.
1t will be recalled that Mr.. ktlbane
upon being summoned to box before the
OuKc not only ucCliIlcu W uoAs cue
said distinctly. "Raspberries for the
Duke of Muldoon" or words to that ef-
feet There was some talk about call
ing out the militia at the time to try
Kilbane by drumhead court martial. but
somebody stole the drum and the dis
respectful subject went unpublished. He
has gone unpunished even unto this
day. Perhaps the reason for this Is
that electrocution Is considered too
mild punishment for any one guilty
OF lese majestic toward the Duke Of
Muldoon. Boiling in oil and the other
fitting penalties are prohibited In New
York State.
The Duke of Muldoon declares that
he will stand pat on his old age de-
cree. A rumor from Fourteenth street
says that the amended boxing laws
will fix an age limit for Boxing Com
missioners also.

Hemphill Death Tale
Slightly Exaggerated

T~ORMER officials of the New
York American baseball club
to-day abandoned plans to
raise burial fund for Charley
Hemphill. former Yankee star. when
they learned that he was not dead.
The Charles Hemphill who died
here on Tuesday never played base
ball, 1t was said by a sister of the
dead man. Mrs. w. A. Mcknight of
Jersey City.
Wide publication of the news OF the
supposed death of the old player and
the contemplated raising of a fund
resulted in an investigation which
revealed the mistaken identity aris-
ing from the similarity of names.
Further denial of the report came
from Toledo, Ohio. where Charley
Hemphill himself declared in tones
not at all sepulchral that the report
of his death had been slightly exag-
gerated."
