BIGGINS, ariod i TAFTVILLE VS. BALTIC. One of the Fastest Games of the Sea- | son—Both Managers Report Teams | Are in Best of Condition. J 1 The Taftvilie basketball team went | through a stiff practice Monday night | for the big game tonight. This game is to decide the championship between the two villages. The rivalry between these two teams might be compared with that of Yale and Harvard. The Taftvilie team has been playing some pretty fast ball this season and are in the best of condition. Their opponents have been drilling pretty hard for this event. Ag the series stands now, tne two teams are neck to neck, each with one game to their credit. The mana- gers of both teams say that this will be the fastest game ever played in the Parish hall. The.same lineups will be used as in previous games.

Taft, Cincinnati capitalist Wwho purchased it on last Saturdav from Charles W.

The one proposition that is known to have been made, that from Louis J.

Chicago, Feb. 23.—Tvyo syndicates of | Chicago business men are rivals in bidding for the control of the Chi- cago National League club, the base- | ball organization mnow owned prin- cipally by Charles P. Taft of Cincin-! nati, since he took over the interests of Charles W. Murphy Saturday night. A Dbid of $700,000 Taft’ stock by a coterie of “Cub” fans was made today and word reached their representative, Louis J. Behan, ths Mr, Taft would give them considera- | tion with the other bidders, so a com- mittee of three will go to Cincinnati tomorrow night to see him. The Behan bid was distinct from the proposition made by _the syndicata | headed by ' William Hale Thompson, who asked that Mr, Taft submit to him and James A.

QUARTETTE OF HEAVYWEIGHT 1 GRAPPLERS WILL ARRIVE. McGrath, W. Zbyscke, Mantell Mulsofski in the Bunch. Jaclk McGrath sent word from Wor- cester on Monday to the Sporting Edi- tor of The Bulletin that he will arrive here on the noon train today and that | he is in tiptop shape for his match with Bob Mantell, the Buffalo heavyweight, whom he is to wrestle to @& finish. Mantell will arrive during the day, as will also Waldek Zbyscko, the Pole, | and Ignatz Mulsofski, the Russian, who are to be opponents in the main bout. It is understood that these two big fellows have been looking for each others’ scalps for some time, so that the bout between them will be savage- Iy _contested. McGrath has been promised a match by Waldek Zbyscko when the latter re- turns from his brother's training camp in Chicago. i HARVARD 'WANTS g \ | | and FOUR OARED RACE. Yale Wants to Abolish It, and Believes That Harvard Will Abolish It. is decidedly favorable to a of abolishing the 'varsity four- but is opposed at Harvard, and indications are that it will not be given up, to be substituted by a race | between the second 'varsity S, Last year Yale asked make the change to a second 'varsliy eight two-mile race, replacing the| fours, but Harvard declined. The stew- ards of the college races on the Hud- son have taken up the idea and have made the change. Yale has renewea the request that the change be put in- to effect this year, but Harvard seems unwilling, and the matter will proba- bly be dropped for this season. The Yale argument Is that the 'var- sity oarsmen work in eight-oared shells nmi | umpires ‘for the For His Share. i throughout their rowing season till} about two weeks before the Thames | races, when the second eight is arbi- | trarily disbanded, its organization de- stroyed and a four-oared crew formed, without specialized coaching for four- oared racing. The second eight is oft- en entered in outside races like thel| American Henley and has become well adapted to organized rowing be- fore it is disorganized and compelled | to learn four-oared technique. Anoth- er Yale argument advanced is that the | racé of the second eights would bring | more oarsmen into the rematta. At Yale the belief is held that Harvara will_ultimately fall into line in favor of the change. DOC CRANDALL JUMPS.

After some time had elapsed Schardien became suspicious and sought in vain for Clark. He then notified the police, but no trace of Clark could be found.

He said he believed Clary had already sailed, but I knew he had not: so I thanked him and went at once to Brooklyn, where I located this friend and informed him that I wished to see Clark at once in regard to running a face that afternoon at Newark. He said he was not sure Clark was at home, but requested me to wait and he would find him if possible. He said Clark had missed the last ship for England, but was sure he was going to sall two days later, as he had urgent business on the other side of the water. I declined his invitation to enter the house, as I had particular reasons for wishing to be outside, par- ticulariy if I found Clark Requesting me to wait a minuts, Clark’s friend went upstairs and_soon afterward reappeared, followed by Clark, who seemed very nervous. I greeted him cheerfully, telling him I was very glad to see him—which was strictly true—and told him there was & good thing for him at Newark that afternoon. He seemed somewhat re- assured, and requested me to waft tili he got his suit. When he reentered the house I stepped into a neighboring drug store, called up Schardien and told him that Clark and I would be at Holmes' saloon within an hogr. Clork ‘soon returned and we left for Newark, going at once to the saloon, and found we had arrived in advance of Schardien. After waiting for soms time Clark began to grow suspicious, and declared he must return to Brook- Iyn at once. I used every pretext to detain him without avall, and he had started to leave, when the door opened and Schardien, accompanied by Cap- tain Glori, the chief of police, at that time backer of Bob Fitzsimmons, en- tered the saloon and placed Clark un- der arrest. He was given the alternative of re- turning the money or going to prison, and he produced 380, all that remained of the hundred dollars, and was allow- ed to depart, with a warning from Captain Glori to never return to New Jersey. > Ne soon afterwards sailed for Lone don, and I rever hear from him again.
