ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
BOSTON, June 13.-John L. Sullivan has de-
cided to abandon the buskin and return to
the gloves. A Boston friend of his has re-
ceived letter in which Sullivan announces
this fact. Sullivan says that the fight be-
tween Corbett and jackson was no fight at
all, and that the men appeared to be afraid
of each other. Corbett, however, he says,
had much the best of it and would have
been the winner if the contest had been
fought to finish.
Sullivan thinks Corbett good man and a
scientific boxer. The champion confesses
that he has been waiting to see what the re-
and Slavin and Kilrain before announcing
his plans. He feels sure that Kilrain will
come out victorious in the contest with Sla-
vim. He thinks that whichever man wins
will feel anxious to meet Corbett. The WIN
ner of such "a contest would be the champion
takes place in the near future Sullivan says
that he will meet the winner. He expresses
himself as we'll satisfied with his present po-
sition. He has made great deal OF money
in his theatrical venture the past
season, and feels that his Australian
trip will net him a good-sized barrel.
He says thatif fight were arranged for
him on his return against the winning
heavyweight he would feel that he ought to
dictate the terms. He has decided that he
will never again participate in ring fight.
Bare knuckles and London prize ring rules
he will never have anything more to do
with. But he would meet the best man in
small gloves, providing that the purse was
large enough.

THE RACING RECORD.

Some Big Surprises at Morris Park-Rus-
sell Badly Beaten for the Bowling
Brook Handicap and st. FIorian De-
feated by the, Jockeys Poor Work
Other Turf Events. -.
MORRIS PARK, June I3.-Fully 15 900 persons
were present here to-day and they were
treated to series of surprises that were
ANYTHING but pleasant. The weather was
all that could be desired, the track was in
frst-class shape and the card offered was
more than ordinarily good one. The two
stake events, the Bowling Brook handicap
for 3-year-olds, and the Anticipation stakes
for 2-year. olds, both witnessed the downfall
of red-hot favorites and the bookmakers
reaped such a harvest as rarely falls to
theirlot. .-s...
Russell, the favorite for the handicap, was
beaten on his merits, but st. Florian, the
favorite for the Anticipation stakes was
defeated through the stupidity of his rider,
Littlefield, and the superb jockeyship of
Garrison ON Nomad- st. Florian had the
race won and Littletield took a short nap,
when Garrison fairly lifting Nomad off his
feet, drew up and won by short head. Of
the other races two went to long shots and
two to favorites, but the latter were at such
whatever of getting even.
First race-Lester first, Lille Sandy second,
Airshaft third, Time. 5s3s.
Second race six furlongs-Blue Jeans first,
Mountain Deer second, st. James third. Time,

pefate fight. Dunn and Manning, McKees-
ports pony battery, did the work in the
points for the home team, and their work
was gilt-edged as far as effectiveness was
concerned. .,. ..-
The Climax hit the ball hard and often, burt
it was always to the infield where it was
handled easily. Dallas, Woods, Rowe and
Clark, the infieid of the home club, did some
of the most wonderful work ever seen on the
A chances offered.
Rose umpired to the satisfaction of every
one except one individual in the grand
stand, who was promptly called down by the

and everything was run smoothly by him
and his decisions were given promptly and

THE PRINCEToNs WON.
A Great Game Between the College Cracks
and Large Crowd Present.

"A
and Large Crowd Present.
New York, June 13.-Princeton won the
intercollegiate championship by defeating
Yale in the deciding game played to-day be-
fore 5000 perosns.y Hundreds of lusty-voiced
college men hailing from the classic shades
of Old Nassau Hall and the leafy elms of the
New Haven campus, with their cousins and
their sisters and their sweethearts, If they
bad any, took complete possession of the
Manhattan Athletic Clubs baseball grounds
this afternoon. Enthusiasm was at fever
heat.
During the preliminary practicing of the
two teams the rival cohorts of Yalensians
and PrincetonianS let their lungs loose upon
each other and the air fairly shook with their
howls.
The Princeton tiger seemed to have little
the best of it in the overture, but the "Rah-
rah-rah" of Yale came out with sharp
snap every time the yellow-striped animal
from Jersey lifted up his voice.
College colors were f1uttering gorgeously
everywhere. All the young women present
displayed the blue or the orange and black,
according to their sympathies, and hundreds
tically wi enever there was anything done
on the diamond that called for recognition
OF approval. It was evident that there was
more Princeton money in the crowd than
the friends of the Blue men were willing to
bank against.
Young secured the victory for Princeton,
pitching q wonderful game in spite of indif-
ferent support. His batting was also one of
Bowers was hit hard, but Yale's good field
work kept down Princeton's score. Party
feeling ran high throughout the game, and
the noise made by the admirers of the teams
was almost deafening. Score:

General Sporting Notes.

TUESDAY is Suburban Day.
SPRINTING seems to be catching on'' In this
city again.
JIM o,RoURKE has made one or more base hits in
the last IL games.
THE Old Sport was somewhat Of victim yester-
day at Boston at critical stages.
IN an interesting ball game at Confluence yester-
day the Confluence team defeated the Ursinas by IL
to-.
THERE may be consolation in the fact that j. P.
O'Neil still has hope of his team winning the pen
nant.
PETE BROWNING, when coming in from the
field. always steps third base, but never
touches it. This, Pete thinks, brings good luck.
ANsoN is tireless. Previous to yesterdays game
he took regular practice with his team. Then he
got young Stein out and caught his pitching for
some time Still restless, he got on first base while
the New Yorks were at practice and took some
more hard work. Then he worked like hired man
all through the game.-Er.

YEARS OF SUFFERING.
Mr.. Marsh, Of This City, Is
Now Rid of His Troubles.
HOW ACCOMPLISHED.

"There have been wonderful cures made,
but mine was miraculous" This was said by
Mr.. Joseph Marsh, residing at 3OS Renfrew
street, this city, in an interview which the
writer had with him q short time ago. When
asked to state his case, he said:
Eight years ago contracted the whoop-
ing cough. Although to all appearances 1
got rid of it, the bad effects were still left in
known what it was TO enjoy a really we'll
day. That may sound strange, but it is the
case.
"At first it was not very bad. Cold fol-
lowed cold, however, and soon | found the
slight trouble had grown to a serious mat
ter. My head and nose were constantly
stopped up. had dull heavy pain in my
forehead directly over my eyes. There were
roaring and buzzing noises in my ears.

D0WNED THE MARRIED MEN.

An Interesting Cricket Game in Which the
Single Men Win.
The cricket match between the married
and single men of the Eureka Cricket Club
on the Port Pleasant grounds yesterday
afternoon, proved to be a very interesting
and well played game.
1t was thought that the married men
would win an easy victory, having such
batters as Colby, Smith and Wood, but the
latter was retired at an early stage, and
Smith had just got down to work when he
drew ball on the wicket. For the singles
the batting of the Broadbent brothers and
Pickard the latter being called out on o
close decision, together with the bowling of
Boyce were the features.

J. PALMER is WEARY.
He Says the Club Is Playing Good Ball, but
Luck Is Against Them

j. Palmer O'Neil, weary, but not foot sore,
alighted from the limited last evening.
"How did we come out to-day?" the Presi-
dent asked the reporter quickly, for he
hadn't heard.
Boston won."
81 thought So" he answered rather
sadly" but we will make some of the
teams tired before the season is over.
What is the matter with the club?
Nothing except that we have struck
streak of bad luck. The boys
are playing good ball, and nobody knows
how we miss Bierbauer. There are no in
ternal dissensions, and you can say that
Manager Hanlon will continue to hold his
position. Browning has a lame ankle, and
there you have the long and short of it. We
are not discouraged, even if the games have
been going against us, and with Bierbauer
back in his place our luck is bound to turn.
When the club comes West you will notice q
great change for the better"

Pennant Struggle.
The contest for the National League pen

one, inasmuch as the New York team have
stepped to the front. Amid very much ex-
citement the Giants and the Chicagos met
on Friday, both teams standing even in the
race. The Giants won on Friday and YES
terday, giving them a good lead. The
BrooSlyns have shown up wonderfully all
week, and they are on an upward course,
evidently. The Cleveland team continue to
play plucky game anda steady one, though
not a pennant-winn1ng one. Philadelphia is
dropping down, and Pittsburg is making
sorry and Disappointing show. Cincinnati
is playing better than usual. Following is
the standing of the teams UP to date:
