Sports Are Drifting In.
Now that the fight fans have satis-
lied their Interest In the recent Sulli
van-Davis light at Gregory , they are
turning their eyes hack to Norfolk ,
where they are expecting "something
good" to bo pulled off soon. Who are
to be the principals In the mill to be
pulled off In this city soon is not yet
known , although there are many can
didates. Sullivan's scalp is being look
ed for by local promoters.
Trainers are slowly coming back to
this city with expectations of "work
ing out" some candidate for a big
mill with the O'Neill fighter. Arthur
Davis , known as "Long Distance , " sud
denly appeared hero a few days ago ,
and Is quietly "on the job" at the Oxnard -
nard hotel , substituting for the regu
lar porter there. Frank Osborno , who
helped train Kid West , also made a
sudden reappearance and Is acting as
fireman at the Pacific hotel. Ho has
been in the roller skating racing game
for the past few weeks at Gothenburg ,
where he defeated local talent.
Young Denny has sold his farm west
of the city and although his crop did
not goltli the deal he has finished
corn picking and is reported interest
ed ln a coming light here. Kid West
is probably well satisfied with Omaha
for a winter roost , but declares he will
soon be hack In Norfolk. Ills gym
nasium proposition went up in the air
in a controversy befoie his battle with
Sullivan.
Claude Housh declares he is now
through witli the game , while Lee
Hoot could he tempted to go once
more with some good featherweight.
Gene Sullivan , the lightweight brother
of Montana Jack , also has a tender
spot , in his heart for Norfolk , and has
declared he would like a little mill
with some good lightweight. Bresna-
han was suggested for him , but that
Omaha fighter , atlhongh willing to
come to Madison county , cannot make
Gene's weight.
A fight , however , is looming up on
the horizon from Hastings , where Kid
Pierson , who has been undergoing a
lot of heavy training , is casting his
battling optics-Norfolkward. His ob
ject looks like Sullivan , who Is > vlll-
ing to go on with the Hastings lad.
In the meantime Sherman Poling ,
and a number of other promoters here ,
are keeping the mails busy through
Clarence English and other well
known lighters , who have already .sug
gested many fast boys all the wiy
from Hugo Kelley to the fast Laup.ford
to come for the scalp of Montana Jack.
Jack Is willing and has not yet turned
down anything , although the idea of
bringing in the "big ones" does seojii
logical. An enormous guarantee is al
ways required by them. Sailor Kelluy
of Lincoln , who has asked for u fight
in Norfolk , has not made connections
up to this time.

"MlHs Ananias , " opened last night at
the Willis Wood theater to a large au
dience that came hoping to be amus
ed and went away thoroughly satis
fied with the entertainment offered.
Before dwelling upon the little play
In detail , let mo start with a caution.
If > ou are one of these whose Idea
of a real state humor Is a George
Cohan show ( orchestra augmented by
the addition of four bass drums ) , stay
away. Or , if you prefer that kind of
dellcato comedy In which the llrst
comedian says , " 1 scon your sister
last night ; " and comedian number
two comes back quick with the repar
tee by hitting number ono over the
head with the slapstick , remain away.
"Miss Ananias" Is Just a dainty lit.
tie humorous story , woven about some
really delightful people' , and Its de
licious fun Is sent across the foot
lights In tiny waves of Joy and not
hurled into the faces of the audience
to the accompaniment of noise and
general disorder. It Is patterned
slightly after the English comedies in
which John Drew and Bllllo Burke
have excelled and reminds one in its
handling , of "Septimus , " In which
George Arliss scored so heavily last
year.
"Miss Ananias" Is- called a larelal
comedy , but a'better description would
have been comedy and farce , for the
play starts off with a sort of pathetic
comedy that plays upon the heart
strings , only to pass on into smiles
and laughter that grow and grow until
the final act fairly Wrings from iho au
dience shriek after shriek of merri
ment.
"Just Out of College" Wednesday.
The engagement of "Just Out of
? ollego" which will bo presented In
his city at an early date will doubt-
ess attract a large audience. It Is
nibbling over witli Ade fun. It will
> e staged with the adequate attention
o details , as well as general effect ,
vhlcli marked the original production
it the Lyceum Theater , New York.
The music Is catchy and the stage
settings are said to be excellent.
"Just Out of College" is a laugh pro-
lucer. There are so many good char-
u-tcrs in tills piece , types of real men
ind women who are seen In every day
Ife , that they appeal to the public
uliid because of their seeming natur
alness. Mr. Ade has not overdrawn
one of them. He lias made his young
nan just out of college by no means
he' only strong part. He has sur.
oinided him with other characters of
real strength which harmonize wen
with that of the youthful college
aduate.
This attraction comes to the Audi-
.oriiim Wednesday night at $1.00 , 75c ,
" > 0c and 2r > c , and will be a worth while
show.
Elections in Greece.
Athens , Nov. 28. Elections are in
progiess in Greece today to choose
the members of the new national as
sembly , which will revise the consti
tution of the country. Preparations
Imve been made to prevent an out
break of the rebellious spirits of the
country , but it is hoped that the day
will pass without serious trouble.
LONG AND SHORT HAUL.
Washington , Nov. 28. A bearing ol
representatives of both railroad com
panies and shippers was commenced
today by the interstate commerce com
mission , to decide differences resulting
from the construction of the long and
short haul order.
Under the decision of tlie cunimis
slon the railroads must maintain the
present rates until Feb. ' 17. next , ir
conformity with the law which pro
vldes that no changes are to bo made
for a period of six months. The com
mission some time ago announcer
that no changes in rates would be
permitted in the interim which in anj
way affect the existing relationship be
tween the long and short haul.
After Feb. 17 , under the order ol
the commission , a lesser rate can no
be charged for a longer than a shortei
haul , except In special cases to be
determined by the commission.
The railroads are required to applj
to the commission for each group o
rates where It is desired that the loiu
and short haul principle shall apply
Specific reasons must bo given In eacl
application for the suspension of tin
law which provides that no railroat
shall charge "any greater compensa
tlon in the aggregate for the trans
portatlon of passengers or of liki
kind of property for a shorter than i
longer distance. "
Tlio commission Is granted dlscre
tlon in the law to prescribe , after in
vestigation , to what extent railroad
may bo relieved from the full force o
this provision. This has led to mi
merous applications from railroads
and from the jobbers and buulnes

except with a quick look around and
