Woods and Retlly mixed it from the start and kept the-crowd' Worked up tc an enthuslastlo pitch, by their cleveri- ness and the fierceness of the contest. The colored man had all the best of it, as he proved the stronger man, and in every round he put Rellly to the. floor from one to six times, and In the sixth, after being sent -to the floor repeatedly, Rellly received a blow square on the Jaw which sent him down for the count Rellly and Woods have battled several times previously for the honors and last evening, was the first time In which either man gained a clear-cut victory. Rellly. displayed his old-time cleverness in only one round, the fourth, when he had the better of It, but Woods counter balanced that with his work throughout the contest AUTOMOBILE BOTES.

HENRY HARRIS The following description to a faith ful picture of Uncle Henry Harrispop ular baseball magnate, was recently published In the Bulletin, and any one knowing Mr. Harris would see at once that the-artist Was Strongly acquainted with tils subject: "This Is Hank. He does not Sell as sorted snowballs or gold bricks,, though he buys a few. 'The gent. In his busi. ness, who has not purchased an occas ional golden brick is a human wonder. Hank -is the Chadwlck of baseball of the Pacific coast. His identity with baseball dates back to the old Haight Street grounds when -Jim McDonald; Buck Gagus, Rube Levy,' Hugheyr Smith and v Jake Meckeley ; were colts. The game was an infant, and Hank took pity on it,4 and sacrificed his Job' in a shoe house to father it. . It proved a good father, and the. game grew up to be 'a healthy man, though It' had a few sick spells in the meantime.-- The central figure in Tad's cartoon is Hank sitting on the bench. 'It is his favorite pose. Legs crossed, long cigar slowly burning between! his teeth, and lead' 'pencil and score card in hand. ' When a 'game is in. progress he is silent as the tomb. which is not the attitude of most man agers. Once In a great While he will address a player, and when he does the player deserves all he gets, and a lot more.; Hank Is a good loser as man agers go, V ; If players show him that they-rretryhig and -ase-an-ounee-ef head work in the bargain , they will never hear, from him except on pay day, While baseball Is his favorite sport. there are amusements he likes, some of which cost him dearly. During the long Winter season Hank t enjoys dallying with the ponies at the local race tracks. and it is no telling . how many good things have been passed to him in his Iifetiroer-He was lucky one winter," and the racing game looked so awfully easy that he. tried his- hand making . book. The talent made one mad rush at him, knocked htm off the block and he never went back.. He is also fond of playing cards, and will back raise when holding fours at least twice. . Opera Hank la passionately fond of, but he does not go much on tragedy. Hank will bet on prize fights,, but will not go far to. see one. ? In politics he Is a Republican, but will back a Democrat if he looks like a Winner. He says he can see none who can beat Teddy. Hank also says you ean -have a be on his team- when It ((tarts for the pennant next year. H has promised to bring -, out . the finest bunch of stars money can buy.

JEFFRIES GOOD FOR . TEN YEARS MORE . Journal Special Service.) r - Cambridge, ; Mass,, Dec. .16. In the opinion of - Dr. Dudley A, Sargent,'. Har vard's faradus physical expert and au thority, Jim Jeffries, the pugilist, has 1Q years before him of active service In the ring. Jeffries, In company, with Joe Kennedy, Ms sparring partner, and Kid Egan, his trainer, visited Dr. Sargent In the, Hemenway - gymnasium last .- week and was examined carefully by the crim son authority. -frw'f'viV-'H'.ut-? '-u ' Dr. Sargent noted two peculiar things. the first that ' Jeffries' right: arm has decreased la measurement from 18.5 Inches three years ago.' to 16.9 Inches, and that' his "terrible left" has grown to a, crooked position which It is Im possible to straighten out. The -cause of the first of these changes is a puz zling one.' for Jeffries is stronger than ever so far as his right arm hitting capacity is concerned.' - The cause of the latter ,1s easier, re sulting- from the knitting together of the tissues about the elbow, due to the fact that the left -arm always leads. Its, curved "rigidity, however, has a most beneficial use, for It enables the 1 big giant to get alt the force of a straight blow into a hooked drive. Dr. Sargent 'today was much Im pressed with Jeffries' general condition and pronounced him "a marvelous man." In his opinion the fighter's greatest dan ger is a tendency to corpulence. Within the last three years ne nas gained no ticeably, weighing 247 pounds now, against 228 at ' that time. His height (six feet ; and; half an inch) and his chest measurement (44.8 Inches), how ever, remain the same. TABLET TO LEAD MXDDXES. (Journal Special Service.) . Annapolis,-Md.
