The young champion almost invariably had difficulty in getting the balls together, and gave a great display of hard shot making. On his nights high run, 252 in the fourth inning Sthaefer's first eleven shots were of the extremely difficult type and table length carons predo- minated. At times both showed poorly.

 To Enforce Rules

The State Boxing Commission hav- ing outgrown it's kid clothes aud be- ing the full bloom of maturity. has served notice on persons connected with the 1nitt sport that starting April l the law is to be strictly en- forced.
 The attitude of the commission in the past has been a liberal one, the contention being that the public was not familiar with the boxing laws and that time should be allowed for the promoters and fans to become acquainted with the rules.
 Evidently the commissioners are of the opinion that the period of grace is over a set of new rules have been anOnunced by Secretary Acly W. Castle of this city. The rules are as follows:
 Boxers must post the following forfeits five days before a fight: Pre- lims, $25; semi-inals, $75, and finals, $150.

With their careless handling of huge sums, their down right gouging of the public on more than one occasion and, in addition, their blatant talk about money to the exclusion of every other phrase of the game, they have instil1ed in the minds of tire players the idea that in base ball money is paramount and that the dough-

Delaney and Ross Will Be
 Fit For Bout

There's one thing certain about the coming Delaney and Ross fight which is a dead cer- tainty. Both men will enter the ring in fit trim and prepar- ed to- battle for their lives.

CATS FOLLOW FISH DEALER
Animals of sheepshead Bay Regularly Take the Trail of the Peddler
 of Sea Food

Like the pied piper, the Sheepshead Bay fish dealer has following of cats as he pushes his cart through the resi- dence section on Friday morning. says the New York Sun. The cats for blocks away hear his shrill cry of Fresh fish!" or perhaps smell his cargo and come slyly through the streets for a chance at delectable bit of sea food.
 When the fishman gets a customer he cleans and scales the fish on the ground. This is the chance for the neighborhOod cats. Their part of the feast consists of the discarded heads and tails of fluke and sea bass.
 Obtaining a prized portion, most of the cats break for home to enjoy the repast, while others not so fortunate hang on the peddler's heels and fol- low hiln about until he finally makes a sale and permits them to profit on his loss.
