WHEN PLAYERS PLAYED
MEAN TRICK ON
FERRIS.
"At the close of one season,
when the Boston Americans
swept everything before them,"
said Jess Tannehlll. "John I.
Taylor told the management -of
a big hotel where we were stop
ing to give us unlimited credit
for anything we might desire, f
never knew whether John I. was
sorry afterward or not, but the
bill that was handed him footed
up $3,000. Everybody had cham
pagne unlimited, and Hobe Fer
ris put five quarts of the golden
wine into a suit case. Chick
Stahl, . myself and three other
players waited till it was almost
time for Hobe to take the train
for home. Then we deftly
snaked the five quarts out of the
suit case and refilled it with
bricks. Hobe, who wanted to
take the stuff home with him,
never opened the suit case on
the train, probably for fear the
sight of the five quarts would
make him thirsty and force him
to break into the supply. When
he arrived and proudly opened
the suit case to display his tro
phies there was an Interesting
scene, though we could never get
Hobe to give us the full details."
FIGHTERS SPRING FROM
HUMBLE ORIGIN MOSTLY.
Most boxers sprang from lowly posi
tions. Young Corbett used to earn $6 a
week before he fought McGovern.
Terry himself was a poor newsboy
when picked up by Sam Harris, who
made a champion out of him.
Jeffries was earning $15 a week in
California as a handy man in a boiler
shop when Billy Delaney took hold
and made a fighter of him.
Bob Fitzsimmons did not have more
than one suit of clothes when he came
to this country from Australia.
Jim Corbett left a good position in a
Frisco bank to seek honors in the ring,
but there were few like him. Sharkey,
Gardner, Ryan, Erne and many other
fistic stars were all poor at the time of
starting out for pugilistic honors. Fol

tant as to form a good one.

HOP MARKET FIRM
WITH BETTER DEMAND
There is a much firmer tone to the
hop market, and orders are coming
forward at an advance of 1 to 2c a
pound over previous ones.
The present showing of strength is
the first real sign of a revived trade
that the market has shown for some
time. It signifies that Brewers really
need remaining supplies, and are be
ing forced to pay for them, as shorts
can not deliver.
Market for hop' contracts is firmer
than ever before, but growers are still
holding aloof. Some dealers expect
liberal contracting during the first
part of March, but in other quarters
the predictions are being made that a
smaller" percentage of the crop will
be contracted during 1912 than ever
before..
Regarding the outlook for hops a
mail advice from New York says:
"There are increasing evidences
that the long spell of cold weather has
considerably lessened the sale of beer
throughout the country, and this in
turn has kept brewers from buying
hops, except in cases where they re
quired a few for current needs. Deal
ers have also held off because they
found no opportunity to sell ,and the
movement has been so light that the
market has continued in a somewhat
depressed, weak condition. As a rule
there has not been sufficient pressure
to sell to require any marked change
in values, and yet it seems quite prob
able that some further concessions
would be made if larger business
would result Country markets are
lifeless. Growers in New York state
have modified their asking" rates some
what, but find no one interested in
buying at present. Mail advices from
Germany indicate that the markets' on
the continent are in a similar condi
tion to our market."
