Ed Mehler and Tom Murray, mid
dle-weights, met last night in a
fifteenround glove contest with two
ounce gloves, Marquis of Queens
berry rules. The fight took place
at well-known sporting resort in
AnOka county, just over the line and
was attended by some thirty business
and professional men. Time was called
at 1880, with professional athlete as
referee. Both men came up lively
and began doing some hard
smuggling after sparring cautiously for
an opening. MOehler did considerable
rushing, and both men got in some solid
blows. MOehler scored first blood in
the seventh round, when the
claret began to flow from Muir
rays nose. In the tenth round
Murray began doing the rush act and
gave Moehler all he could attend to. In
the thirteenth round he knocked
Moehler down twice and almost out. A
call of time saved him. In the fif-
teenth round MOehler was knocked all
over the room. At the conclusion of
this round the referee gave the fight to
Murray, who walked away with the
purse Of 500. 1t was one of the best
contests of the kind ever seen here,

Ben Young. the ex-umpire, is teach
ing school at Nottingham, a village
twelve miles from Cleveland, O., and
has organized two teams from among
his scholars. On one of the teams there
are eight girls verging ON the edge of
the stilted way usually used by girls in
throwing, and every one of them hits
the ball well, and they have almost got
to the point of sliding into base. One
girl, sixteen years old. who plays in
short field, is remarkably clever on
grounders, ana a few days ago while
covering the plate, during some wild
throwing, one of the boys on the OPP
posing team made headlong slide
under the base. The girl appealed to
Young with a stalwart ''Darst he do
that?' The run was scored.

How the Players Are Performing
This Winter.

The Brooklyn club has reconsidered
its determination not to play Sunday
games next summer. When some peo-
pie heard of this alleged determination
to observe Sunday they smiled know
ingly. Others laughed outright at its
absurdity. The club is said to have
taken in nearly $4,000 at its Ridgeway
park games last summer. The difficulty
between the owners of Riageway park
and the Brooklyn club has not been
settled.-New York Tribune.
Arson will have harder time this
season to hold the lead in batting than
he did last season. Thompson will be
hitting in his old form, Beckley will
start in while the pitchers are all rusty,
Ryan has more experience, and Dan
Brouthers will be ON team of hitters
that will bat harder than ever. The
chances are that the scorer Of the Chi
cago club will have to do some tall
padding to pull the old man out ahead.

SCOTCH YACHTING.
Thistle and Dunraven's Sixty
TOnner May Adopt the Center
board


board.
GLASGOW, March 2.-There is, after
all, a good prospect of the Thistle visit
ing New York again next autumn. The
negotiations for her sale have been
pretty we'll settled. In the meantime
all the information that can be OBJ
tanned regarding her is that she is 60
ing to foreign" waters.
Since the Thistle has no fittings for a
family cruise, the Mediterranean is not
the foreign" destination intended. 1t
is more likely that the destination is
New York,
When the purchase is completed she
is to be fitted with the mizzenmast
which she ought to have had Oh her
first trip across the Atlantic, and which
would have saved both the yacht and
the crew much knocking about under
even-reefed canvas On the cutters
heavy racing mast.
In addition to this there is every rea-
son to believe that the Thistle will have
a centerbOard fitted in, and which her
admit of without much alteration.
So far as can be learned no challenge
has been issued for the Americas cup,
but the Roydl Clyde club believes that
the New York club would accept under
the old deed. In that case only six
months notice is necessary and
and there will be time enough
to challenge April l. The
voyage of the Thistle across
with the centerboards means the cutter
entering any match which she is adj
mitted to. and proving what Scotch
yachtSmen have always commended,
namely, that the Volunteer would have
been no match for the Thistle had the
Scotch cutter been fitted with a center
board.
While Lord Dunraven's new Cotton
cutter will be framed and ballasted al
ready carrying her centerboard, she
will be sailed without it in the opening
matches on the Thames and elsewhere
against the Yarana, the intention being
to discover whether she is faster yes
sci than the Yarana without the cen
terboard. If this be proved the center
board will be fitted in order to test the
advantage of a centerboard as compared
with the cutters performance without
it. This arrangement promises to be
such critical experiment that it will
settle whether keel boats or center
boards are to be the British racing
Yachts of the future

FRANKLIN's PLUCK.
Great Tribute to the Firmness of
Judge.

3 A travelling correspondent of The
2 Horseman tells of an incident in the
career of Capt. James Franklin that is
quite a tribute to the firmness of a gen.
tleman who ranks as one of the best
judges who ever officiated at the race
track, and who will no doubt be one of
the judges at Washington park, Chi
cago. next June.
''Away back in '73, when we raced on
the old Nashville track" said Mr.. Nor
row, capt. Franklin was president of
our Blood Horse association, and at the
meeting that year he acted as starter.
The rules were not strictly enforced as
they are now and the owners and train
ers did about as they liked.
swell, it got so after while that the
starter had to ring the bell for an hour
or so to get the horses to the post, and
the people began to tire of it. The
horsemen, however, were pretty hard
crowd to control, and in those days peo-
pie were not so particular about putting
a bullet in a man as they are now.

Wards Telegram.

The Boston Globe sent cabiegram to
John M. Ward, asking him to say posi-
lively whether OF not he would play ball
with New York next season, and add
ing that Boston would like to have him.
His answer was rather evasive. Here
it is: sit is impossible for me to say
definitely now whether or not [ shall
play in Washington next season. Your
cablegram giving full particulars of
my release to President Hewitt. and
BoSton's anxiety to secure my services,
leads me to think it were better judg-
ment to wait until my return to New
York before making a decision.
81 have heard nothing to confirm the
statement that President Hewitt will
cross the Atlantic to obtain my sigma
ture to a contract, but learn, from a
source that | cannot name at present,
that the New York people will make
inducements for me to remain in the
metropolis, and, if necessary, they will
send man across to head Mr.. Hewitt
Off. To sum up the situation as it APP
pears at present. | will say that in all
probability | shall not play in Washing

From the tenor of his remarks it looks
as if Ward would not object to remain
ing in New York for another season.
John M. evidently doesn't care to COM
nit himself until he returns and sizes
up the situation.

According to Mr.. Day, the New Yorks
will not need the services of Crane in
the spring series with the Brooklyn
club, as he expects Buck Ewing and
Tim Keefe to officiate in all the games.
There are several reasons for such an
arrangement, the leading one being to
allow Crane to carry out his under
standing with the Spalding- All-Ameri-
can combination. Mr.. Day entertainS
very high opinion of Cranes ability as
pitcher, and Murphy will be his regular
catcher. The latter. Mr.. Day says, can
hold Cranes delivery. no matter how
speedy it may be. This battery will
not do so much bench work this season
as they did last year, and Will be given
frequent opportunity to puzzle the
