 Special Note--The torn ligament of Ralph Hanson looked rather fishy to the spectators last night. for Ralph was back again and played for two hours instead of one and a half. Someone said, Ralph lost his wind Wednesday night and that he found 1t last night after his two hours play. and used the ''torn ligament" as a stll, so he wouldn't have to play Is match game. still. no one could figure. it out just what the idea was.

 New York. January 27 = (UP) quent the sporting spots around pressed by this weeks sensational raid on the city penitentiary on Welfare Island. The boys are convinced that the new commis- sioner of correction overstepped his bounds. They can't under- stand why man would deliber- ately get up as early as eight o'clock in the morning to go out and tear down a venerable and idyllic institution.
 In the Broadway establishments maintained for eating, drinking and talk-talk, a great many of the boys were encountered today suf- fering from the droops, to say nothing of the glums, Welfare Is- land has been a tradition with them = a congenfal stopping-off place between Saratoga and Miami. It was place where, for three months of the year, they could for get hoss racing, prize fights and floating crap games. and go and raise carrier pigeons, blooded dogs, and bloody hell.
 Particularly upset was Hugs Maggie, a gent who got his name when, caught without his artillery one night, he hugged 8 copper to death in the manner of Q bear. Hugs, whose police record is as long as the collected works of Ed- gar Allen Poe, and who has spent many happy months on welfare, was sounding off when I entered popular beverage dispensary.
 "It's a dirty shame, that raid" he was saying. T can't figure out who complained about old Vel. fare. It couldn't hardly have been the warden, for the prisoners treated him swell. They let him have the run of the prison. and he could come and go as he pleased. And If he wanted to sip off to town a couple time @ month, there wouldn't anybody say a word. Whenever we got something tasty in the icebox, like caviar or arti- choke hearts, we always offered him some. Why, we even Anvited him to our parties. remember one night when we was holding a watch party in cell block c for Harry the Hood, who was getting the hot-seat up the river at mid- night, we asked the warden over. We even told him to bring his own dice if he wanted to.
 He didn't come over, and ne sure missed e hot party. We knocked down bunch of steel partitions to give us more room, being as we had about 200 there. We had plenty of good stuff to drink. 'cause the boys who run the 50-gallon still in the carpenter shop got tight about ten o'clock and brought the whole business right into the party.
 And boy, was I lucky. Most oi the guys ran out of ready cash pretty soon and started shooting | for anything they had. I couldn't throw nothing but naturais. and wound up with two gats, c tommy gun. a rip saw, two actelyne torches, three pnir of silk pajamas, | and q stick Of dynamite. The party didn't bust ID til morning. and the next day everybody slept right through to supper time" Hugs took time out t0 take ono on the house. and continued;
 "That raid sure did upset my plans. [ was ail not te get sent ihoro next week 90 AS Co Do on timo I for the Valentines Iay party. ii was going Co 10 inaHsaoronde. and [ already got p,y costume. vne soIne ns oceEesS y ae|i'nefQn''

Which, by the by, is not so simple as 1t seems, for the reason that two protested games will have to be settled upon when the mana gers meet Monday night, after the smoke of the first round has trans ferred itself frc the "Y" court to the league meeting room. Yes, dear readers, another protest has bobbed up, though it's actual pres entation Monday will depend upon the result of tomorrow's games which include the Brooklyn against the Thomas Club at 2:30 o'clock and the Naugatuclz Bmeralds ver- sus the Sacred Hearts an hour later.

 Then there's the Howie Kraft matter, still lowering over the league like sinister shadow: Mon day night, the league protest com mittee, Bill Schofield, Jimmy Lee and Charley Leader will meet with the managers and attempt to help them help, themselves.
 Tomorrow, the main interest wiis center about the opening game which brings together the Brook lyn club of last year, now wearing the Thomas Club colors, and the young B. A. c. team of the 1894 season, whose greatest handicap Is its lack of experience. The En- eralds, who pulled great gams out of the fire last Sunday in beat ing the Tommies within four-min- utes of the final whistle are ex~ pected to win from the Hearts. who have yet to chalk up their in- itial win of the season.

The Oil Cans by taking two games from the Ash Trays are now in first place all by themselves with nobody to bother them until next week anyway.

The final pair of games were very close, the Hup Caps taking both, ten pins being the margin of vicotry in each game. Massey Bal doni, Victor Martino and Nard Santora all had their shoulders to the whe clto push the Hups along, but 1 guess Van Megroot must of had a sore shoulder because he did very little pushing.
