The Brown Boys and the Grays have

representatives has been settled to the
satisfaction Of the cranks who always
argued that the Brown boys wouldn't

belief that they can defeat the Providence
team, and another opportunity will pro b.

II was a well played game in which
safe hits were at premium. The col
lege boys failed To score at all, which
the four of the Grays crossed the plate.
The first run was scored in the second,
when Hornung got his base on balls. and
Leighton pounded a grounder down to
Jones at second base who threw wild 70
first. Then Sexton got the ball and threw
wild to the plate aud both Hornung and
Leighton scored. Again in the fifth Jones
made wild throw and Friel was safe at
first Mack was hit and Petit sacrificed.
Farrar hit safely and Friel scored. In the
seventh the Grays put on the finishing
touches. Mack reached second on IA long

richer when the timer counted Mccarthy
out in the eighth round.
Those who were on the Mccarthy end
of it claim that il was Job" don't
believe il. A man who would job fight
OF that kind would have quit earlier in
the game before getting the punching
that Mccarthy did. He was not out at
the final. but he would have been had he
got on his feet again. i have seen Burns
in the majority of his fights and never
saw him perform so well.
The statement that his right hand is his
only hand is false IL was his left hand
that did most of the punishment, and IL
was with this same left that he scored the
four knock-downs in the second round.
Burns did all the fighting from the start
and was on the offensive all the time.
He fought good battle and is entitled 10

NEW YORK, June Judge Lacombe in
the United States Circuit Court has de-
MED the motion of the New York & New
England Railrord Company to dismiss
the petition of the New York & Northern
Railroad Company for a commission to
appra.se damages for injuries sustained
by the latter company because Of discrim-
nations made against it by the New
York Il New England road in favor of
the Housatonic railroad.
Judge Lacombe holds that the New
York & Northern shows just claims for
its petition in that 1t is proven that al
though the respondent road has not since
former adjudication by a commission
enforced discriminating rates yet by its
arrangement of trains it favors the
Housatonic road to the disadvantage Of
the New York & Northern.
