If Promoter Mike ‘Rflt’ learns definitely that Gans is | signed for a fight with Lewls, the | colored champion will mot be Britt's | opponent when James Edward appears in this camp some time during the coming spring. | A number of conditions have arisen to put the Gans-Britt match “up in the alr.” In the first place, Riley professes | great displeasure over Gane’' action in having signed with Lewis, and in the second place Riley will not spend his money to attract a crowd to a Tonopah fight and let Reno reap the benefit by bringing off a rival attraction. Riley's attitude is best explained in his own words: 1 I know that there are a lot of | around with their bammers and saying am quitting on this fight. My future actions will prove that these same knockers are in the wrong. I am in the game to stay and the sporting public will find that out. On account of Gans signing with Lewis I consider that he has deliberately belittled the match he made with Britt. Gans signed for a fight with Lewis for the lightweight championship of the world, to take place after the Britt mateh. The in. ference is that Gans thinks Britt is so easy that he will surely retain the champlonshi Gans will leard that he can’t do business that | way and deal with me. Gans has wired me that Le is not signed with Lewis. That may be true. but I'm from Missouri and will bave | to_be shown. | If I find that Gans is not signed with Lewis | T will pull off the mateh with Britt, but not | in March. 1 will postpone the date of the | fght for sometime between April 5 and 10, I | am doing this on account of the fight which is scheduled for Reno a dav or so before or after March 17. I will be called on to put up many thousands of dollars to pull off the Guns- Britt match. This fight will attract a big crowd from the coast and also will draw a bunch from Reno. I fail to see why, after 1 put uj my money, Reno should come in with s third- rate match and profit on the erowd that my fght will draw. Reno has arranged for a fight | for abont the middle of March. Let her bring it off and then I will hold my fght in April. If 1 find that Gans s signed with Lewls |1 will Jet Britt make a match with any good man of his class and give them a purse for the April date. At any rate, I'll have a fight | bere in April, with Britt as one of the princi- pals and {t remains to be seen whether or not oe Gans will be his opponent. Riley's standing in this country is such that there is no doubt as to his making good on his word. Tonopah will have a fight in April, but who the principals will be is problematical at this time. — 1 Ascot Selections | First race—Prominence, Cake, Suavita. Second race—Comnie M, Julla, Gladys C.

At a recent meeting of the directors of the Interscholastic Athletic Association of Stanford University the athletes of the school were admitted to competition as | bona fide students of the Palo Alto High School, in spite of the protests of the school authorities. The incident recalls the bitter fight which was waged by the members of the Palo Alto High football team -and the parents of the youths, who brought legal talent to their aid and fought | | | the expulsion of the lads from the in- stitution. The expulsion resulted from a forbidden game of American foot- ball. Now the interscholastic officials have recognized the same athletes as repre- sentatives of the school, despite the opposition of the school authorities. XL L e S, AUTOISTS TAKE WARNING CLOVERDALE, Feb. 10.—Visiting au- tomobilists will have to be careful re- garding their speed, as the city fathers have adopted a stringent ordinance, Within the city limitsithe speed s lim- ited to a mile in six minutes, but upon approaching a street crossing or sharp ‘curve and while traversing such curves or crossings it must be reduced to the rate of four miles an hour.

Travelers through the Syrian desert have seen horses weep from thirst; a mule has been seen to cry from the pain of an injured foot, and camels, it is said, shed tears in streams. A cow sold by its mistress who had tended it from calfhood wept pitifully. A young soko ape used to cry from vexation if Livingstone didn’t nurse it in his arms when it asked him to. Wounded apes have died crying, and apes have wept over their young ones slain by hunters. A chimpanzee trained to carry water jugs broke one, and fell a-crying, which proved sorrow, though it wouldn’t mend the jug. Rats, discov- ering their young drowned, have been moved to tears of grief. A giraffe which a hunter’s rifle had injured be. gan to cry when approached. Sea| lions often weep over the loss of their young. Gordon Cumming obseryed tears trickling down the face of a dy- ing elephant. And even an orang-ou- tang when deprived of its mango was so vexed that it took to weeping. There is little doub:, therefore, that anima:s do cry from grief or weep from pain qr annoyance.—Harper's Weekly. —_— At the Needle lighthouse, Isle of ‘Wight, there has been placed a set of reed trumpets which give a blast that can be heard ten miles—treble the dis- tance of the old fogbell signal { “Bellville. goals; Reds, 4 goals. The game was played on the private fleld of Francis J. Carolan at Cross- ways Farm, and attracted the largest gallery of the season. Both the pavi- | lion and the public stand were filled, | while many spectators viewed the sport | from automobiles along the side lines. | Both players and ponies showed the |lack of practice caused by the long | continued wet spell, but their spirited ! work of yesterday should put them |into form for the tournament work | ahead of them. Lawson played an espe- ! clally strong game, scoring six goals. I R. M. Tobin scored two, T. A. Driscoll | two and Mr. Carolan one. The most spectacular work of the day was done in the last period, when John Lawson donned a red jacket to ‘equalize the teams. He and Carolan had a number of galloping matches | that looked like real racing. Carolan was up on Arabella, the pinto daugh- | ter of Fusillade, and he was able to lead the big player of the opposing team across the field in two exciting dashes. F. A. Bellville, a noted English polo- ist, was In the saddle as referee. 8 P 2aave RInSEESD PITCHER JOY NOT CO HONOLUL, Feb. 10.—In all probabil- ity the negotiations between the San Francisco team and Barney Joy will | to the coast in regard to his contraet, | but as yet no definite answer has been received, and he will not leave Hono- lulu without a good guarantee.
