JOE WILLIAMS KNoCKED OUT.
Done UP by Paddy Fenton of Norwic
In Il Six Round Fight.

Done UP by Paddy Fenton of Norwich
In n six Round Fight.
Joe Williams, the well-known light
weight pugllist, was knocked out in six
rounds, by Paddy Fenton of Norwich,
in an old barn at Oxford shortly after
midnight last night.
About 200 sports witnessed the mill.
driving to Oxford in carriages from
Ansonia. The fight was with two
ounce gloves, and the stakes are said to
have been $500. Mike Burns seconded
Williams and Arthur Upham of New
London looked after Fenton.
At the start odds were offered on Will.
liams, with but few takers. 1t was Fen
ton't first fight and his hackers were a
little afraid Of Williams.
Fenton led in the first round and got
in light blow, but neither received any
injury.
The second round was a tame affair
each man evidently trying to size W
the other.
Rounds three, four and five were
lively ones, the Nnl wich man doing re-
markable work for novice. Williams
also did good work, but his hackers be-
gan to hedge and Fenton became the
favorite.
In the sixth round Fenton landed 6
swinging blow and Williams was COM
pletely knocked out.
The party returned to Ansonia at 4
o'clock this morning. Neither of the
fighters was very badly used up.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

Old Jack Remsen has signed as mana.
ger and first baseman of the Troys.
Important base ball item from St
Augustine Democrat: "Charley Segul,
Ed de Medici, and B. G. Conova, &C
companled by Earl and Buckley of the
Chicago base ball club, went on hunt.
Monday, in search of bear. They were
pounds, and also captured three live
cubs. One OF the cubs goes TO Chicago,
and the team will use bruin the coming
season as a mascot"
Pitcher Amos Rusie, who is soon to
join Mutrie's fold. jumped into the
front rank in remarkably quick time
He was an amateur last summer and
earned $50 month in lounge factory
in Indianapolis. President Brush gave
him S. to pitch an exhibition game, and
| that's how he made his start as pro-
fessional. He held his own in the fast
company he was thrown into, and TO-
day is one of the best pitchers in the
| country.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 27.-L. R. Full
| da, president of the California Athletic
Club, says he thinks Sullivan and Jack
son will meet here and that the club
will raise a $50, 900 purse.
| "Do you think it would be an inter
esting fight 2"
| eyes, think it would be long,
scientific battle, for, with such big
stakes and reputation added, both
men would be wonderfully careful"
"Do you think it is likely to take
place1"
! II certainly do"
| Hiram B. Cook, the referee of all big
events, was asked wat he thought Of a
chance for a meeting. That is very
large sum of money, $4,000; but they
are very great fighters and dare say it
can be raised. The club has about 900
members at present, and while they
only authorized $4,000 last November
for this match I haven't much doubt
that they will be willing to see the
raise. The $4,000 purse for Dempsey
and La Blanche seemed hard to raise at
that time but this is different sort of
a proposition. A contest between Jack
son and Sullivan will be regarded with
the greatest interest by every man in
the Union, from statesmen to stove
| dores."

Passing Glimpse OF Carl Schurx.
NhSas0o Ho~ofA


Promenaders on upper Broadway often
see . middle-aged man, bent Of form, with
his hat well pushed back on his head, his
overcoat tightly butsoned around him, and
with eyes swapping through an enormous
pair of gold-bowed spectacies. 1t is Carl
Schurx, ex senator and ex -cabinet minister
He peers into the store windows with all
the eagerness of . woman looking for lob
lots. He is particularly fond OF books
and engravings, and devotes portion of
each day to visiting old curiosity shops,
where he occasionally finds rare tome or
etching to compensate him for his trouble.
He is growing Old very fast, and has almost
completely dropped out of life In New
York. Occasionally he is seen in Wall
street, and one in q while at the theater or
public dinner, but he no longer mingles in
the great whiri of the town. He spends his
evenings at his club or the opera
