PITTSBURG PILLS NERVE.
How He ForestaIIed an Owner in Backing
Horse.

How He EOreBtalled an Owner In Backing
a Horse.
It is an old maxim with race plungers: 'tBe
careful how you forestall an owner in the bet
ting" but Pittsburg Phil on Saturday at Cliff
ton disregarded this maxim and escaped get
ting ''burnt'-the usual fate Of such rashness.
The BeYerwyck stables mare Clay Stockton
was not particularly fancied by her people on
Saturday, more especially as just before her
race she ran away and cut her shoulder on the
fence. Still Johnny" Campbell, as he came
from the paddock, whittier he had gone after
the runaway to scratch the mare if she seemed
much the worse for her escapade, remarked:
We'll, guess it must be 20 to l against Stock
ton, and I'll put on ten or twenty.
To his surprise he found that each of the 25
bookmakers had 'cut" the mares price down
to to / at which price Campbell did not bet
dollar Going round to find out the cause
Campbell found that Pittsburg Phil had been
down the line" giving each bookie century
aggregate amount of $12 500 to $500
Many owners, being thus 'forestalled" by an
outsider, would have either scratched or
''stiffed" the horse, but Campbell, with a
"Well, she can't win any way" let the race
take its course, and the mare won in
gallop. This caused insinuations to be made
that her maiden races Of late were ''for the
gallery" but from what know of the situation
/ place no credence in such statement

from Shadyside Academy and an eleven of the

Pittsburg, his playing being very fine. The
Shadyside boys made better fight than was
expected, and the schoolDoys present yelled
themselves hoarse. Messler and Arbuthnot
showed most prominently for Shadyside, the
former playing a really brilliant game. Phil

lest men on the other side.

SYRACUSE, December 7.-William O'Hara,
Of this city, and Prof o. g. Easterly, of Michi-
gan fought with bare fists at Durhamsville.
Oneida county, early this morning. O'Hara
went into the ring under the name of Jim
Murphy Of New York. The mill was ostensi-
bly, for a stake of $50 side and the gate re-
ceipts, but in reality it was to satisfy long
existing grudge between the two men. The
referee awarded the contest to Easterly
in the second round. Marquis of Queens
berry rules governed. O'Hara stripped to 100
pounds, while his antagonist weighed only l6O
pounds and appeared an easy victim. When
the principals faced each other it was evident
that the hight was to De one tor blood o'Hara
blow, which Easterly cleverly warded, retaliat-
ing with stunning left-hander on O'Hara's
nose, drawing first blood and knock-down.
0'Hara arose to the scratch but appeared
dazed. Easterly struck four quick blows in
succession and clinch followed, in which
O'Hara was thrown over the ropes because he
bit Easterly in the breast
In the second round Easterly led out with a
right-hander on O'Hara's neck resulting in a
second fall. O'Hara came to time and received
another right-handeI. which would have
tators held him in O'Hara received three
light blows on the head and then cIinched a
second time, biting Easterly In the left side.
On account of the foul the referee decided the
hight in favor of Easterly, but ordered the men
- continue the entertainment for the satisfac-
Lion of the spectators.
Easterly led out in the third round with a
left-hander which O'Hara parried and re-
turned a solid one on Easterly's left side
Easterly again knocked O'Hara down in the
midst of great excitement Here James CLARK
of Oneida, O'Hara's second struck Easterly
blow on the head. O'Hara and Easterly
clinched, the former seizing his antagonists
wrist in his teeth. The round ended with the
men in that position. O'Hara feared punish
ment in the fourth round and avoided II bv

intense excitement dozen men having jumped
inside the ropes to tear the fighters apart The
fight ended In general row in the NTH round.
Easterly struck at OHara but missed him the
blow landing squarely on the mouth of
O'Hara's second with sufficient force to loosen
several teeth. Clark whirled, and grabbing
Easterly with O'Hara's aid threw him to the
floor. O'Hara and Clark both bit at Easterlv-
who was finally liberated by the crowd. Mes

scene when Ingham, in his address, de-
nounced Coughlin and Kunze with such
fierceness that their faces blanched and the

This was the answer to the reasoning and
