The Match at Exposition Rink on
FRIDAY Night.

Frluay ME- nj.
Jack Dempsey and Tom Cleary went to
White Bear lake Friday to remain during
their stay in this part of the country.
Dempsey will undertake to knock Paddy
Norton out next Thursday night in Expo
sition rink in five rounds. If Norton
stands up, he gets $50. If he goes out, he
gets S25. The go will be with large
gloves as Chief Clark has declared that he
will not allow the men to meet with light
mits. Norton would have no show with
Dempsey if light gloves were used, but he
may be able to stand up under the pressure
of pillows. Tom Cleary is anxious to meet
a middle weight the same night. Besides
the Dempsey Norton match, there will be
other fistic features during the evening in
which local sports will figure.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May 16.-The circuit
court room at Hillsboro, NO., the county
seat of Jefferson county, was the scene of a
bloody affray yesterday. Several weeks
ago B. B. Bird, farmer, was arrested for
making a criminal assault on Mrs. Kevins,
wife OF another farmer. He gave bail for
his appearance i'll court, and the case was
set for trial yesterday. The attorneys for
the defense made strong plea for a con-
tinuance, and after long legal battle
continuance was granted. Immedi-
ately after the judges ruling Kevins left
the court room and stationed himself
in the corridor outside. Bird was among
the last to leave, and when he stepped into
the corridor Kevins drew his revolver and
commenced firing at him. Bird was also
armed, and, after receiving one bullet, sue
ceeded in getting out his weapon and re-
turned the fire. His aim was wild and
Kevins advanced on him and shot him in
the head. As he fell Kevins stopped over
him and sent another bullet into his body.
The slayer then walked into the clerk's
office with his smoking pistol in his hand
and said: 81 want to give myself up.

Hargin,s SUPERINTENDENT.

LOUISVILLE, May 16.---A sensation was
caused here tonight by the announcement
that j. B. Haggin, the Californian, had is
sued orders to withdraw his string of
horses from the track here to take them to
Latonia. No explanation was offered by
him. Haggin has about twenty
horses, among them Ben Ali,
the winner of the Derby, who
was to start in the Clarke stake On Thurs
day. Many theories are advanced in regard
to the matter. Some say he was dissatis-
fed with the pool arrangements here,
while others declare he is afraid for Ben
Ali to meet Blue Wing again. Haggin's
trainer says that the removal is due to the
fact that some of the two-year-old colts are
sick, and Haggin wanted them moved to
Latonia, so they could go into training rs
soon as thew recovered.

MILWAUKEE. May 16.-The Milwaukees
sustained a veritable Waterloo this after
noon at the hands of the Oshkosh ball
players. The local club put Cusick in to
pitch, and at tho opening of the second in
ming his arm gave out, and he changed
places with McCullum, The latter merely
tossed the ball over the plate, and the Osh-
kosh batters had lots of fun. Five singles
and double, aided by battery errors and
an overthrow by MIcQuaid, gave the Osh-
kosh men 10 runs in the second inning.
Then there was a lull in their batting until
the sixth inning, when they resumed hit
ting safely, and in the last three innings
piled up ten more runs. Two bases on
balls, two base hits and three passed balls
gave the Milwaukees runs in the first in
ming. An error by Bishop and two singles
gave them two more in the sixth inning.
The feature of the game was the batting
and fielding of Bishop. The unIpiring was
bad, Following is the score:

WILLING TO MEET GLOVER.
Billy Wilson Says He is Willing to
Fight Glover.

The following bit of sporting news was
clipped from the Omaha Herald of May 10:
An effort is being made by admirers of
pugilistic matches to bring about fistic en-
counter between Ike Glover, the colored
heavyweight colored champion of St. Paul,
MINI. Glover is ready, as he stated to re-
porter for the Herald last night, to meet Will
son in any way and under any conditions. He
is confident he can fight Wilson to a standstill.
Wilson has been living quietly since his great
fight with Patsy Cardiff last June, but is
again anxious to enter the magic circle. If q
match is brought about between these two
men it should prove rare sport for those who
admire fistic encounters. Glover is said to be
good boxer and game fighter, and Wilson's
nerve has been sufficiently tested to prove
that he will stay to the end. meeting be-
tween the two should make q rafting fight.
Regarding this Billy Wilson said yester-
day:
