Knocked Kelly Out.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. T.-Eilly Smith. Bos-
ton lightweight, knocked out Frank Kelly,
of San Francisco in the thirty-ninth round,
at the Pacific Club last night. Although
Kelly was all but knocked out in the nine
teenth round, the fight was slow one until
the thirty-sixth, when Kelly took the lead
and up to the middle of the thirty-ninth ap-
peared to be a winner. Smith then shifted
his position and Knocked Kelly down four
times. Three times the latter arose with a
great effort when nearly counted out, but a
punch in the wind sent him down and out
1t was some minutes before he fully recoy-
cred consciousness. Both mems counten-
ances are disfigured.

HART AND PFEFFER.
The Chicago President Not Looking for .
Market for Fritz.

The Chicago President Not Looking for q
Market for Fritz.
LOUISVILLE Feb. ia well-known local
crank returned from Chicago last night,
where he had talk with Jim Hart, Presf
dent of the Chicago Baseball Club, and got
his views about the Pfeffer matter Mr..
Hart said the Louisville directors were
laboring under mistake if they supposed
he was going to release Pfeffer just because
that player was determined not to play in
Chicago. The Chicago club had Fred under
contract, and what were they going to drop
him for? That was not business. The Chi
cago management wanted to trade Pfeffer
for some man who would fill the big hole in
the team which his departure would make
Under no other circumstances would he be
let CO.
Again, it would not be wise to have Pfeffer
and Brown in the same team. They had
gone around the world together without e4-
changing a word. Could men so es-
tranged work well together in the same
team? Mr.. Hart will not come to Louisville.
He is not travelling around trying to find a
market for such player as Fred Pfeffer.

BALDWIN IN ST. LOUIS.
He Repeats That the Won der Abe Case
Cannot Be Settled.


Regarding Mark Baldwin's visit to St.
Louis Monday, the Republic says:
Mark Baldwin, who is a member of the
Pittsburg pitching department, and was the
central figure of some little excitement
when here about year ago, was in the city
yesterday en- route to Hot Springs, Ark. The
excitement in question was his arrest for
conspiracy at the instance of President Won
der Ahe. The latter claimed that Baldwin's
mission was for the express purpose of in
ducing some of his players to jump their
contracts. The charge against Baldwin
failed to hold, and he was discharged. Bald
win entered suit for damages against Won
der Abe, which is still pending. Now that
peace has been esta blished in the baseball
world an effort is being made to induce
Baldwin to drop the matter, but so far, ac-
cording to Baldwin, who WIS seen at the La
clede Hotel yesterday by reporter, the
matter has not been settled. The case comes
up about the middle of next month, and
Mark said he would surely be here to prose-
cute the case.

Vice President Kerr Talks A bout the Fixing
of Players Salaries
Regarding the rumor that an effort is to be
made to "nx" a limit for pall players
salaries for next year, Vice President Kerr,
of the local club, said yesterday:
ri don't think that any such thiAg will be
done. Players have right for as much as
they can get, and their worth to a club, to-
gether with the gate receipts, will always fix
their salaries despite any rules. But it is
bad policy to talk about any new scheme
just now. Those who favor the idea should
say nothing, at any rate until next winter.
Certainly don't think any such plan as
talked of will be accepted"

Monday,s Football Game.

Interest in the proposed football contest
at Exposition Park Monday between the
Pittsburg and Chicago teams is becoming
great. Already a considerable amount of
money has been wagered on the result. The
local team have suggested that Alec Mac

F. Kelly, of the Chicago club, be umpire for
the visitors and George Macpherson of this
city, umpire for the local team. 1t is likely
that this suggestion will be indorsed

From an Attack of Consumption.

LONG John Ewing has played his last game,
and his absence from the diamond will be
mourned by every player in the profession.
He has consumption and he cannot recover
from his present illness. The grim disease
has SO emaciated him as to make him hardly
recognizable and his death is liable to occur
any day.
In the loss of Ewing the New York club

strated that he was f1rst-class man in the
box. He was never strong, and often when
he felt unwell and hesitated about pitching
some people thought he was weak hearted.
Now they know what the real cause was.

Anesthesia by the Use of Cold.

A new method of producing anesthesa
by the application of cold, the characters
tic feature of which is that the part to be
affected is touched not by the cold produc-
ing agent but by metallic tube or cham
Der which is cooled by carbonic acid, is de-
scribed by DR.. Wiesendenger. The cold
may, according to the requirements of the
case, be regulated from the temperature of
cold water to one sufficiently low to cauter-
ize. AS the instrument may be manufac-
tured of almost any shNa, it is evident
that this new method may be used for
variety of purposes. The simple turning
of tap will regulate the stream of car
bonic acid to any degree of temperature
down to 4 dogs. Fahrenheit. No moisture
is produced. In using this cold for the
purpose of cauterizing the surgeon has the
advantage of producing anasthesia at the
same time. When applying it to any of the
internal cavities, such as the mouth, it is
necessary to have the parts carefully dried,
as the tissues would otherwise adhere to
the instrument, The Lancet tells that DR..
Kummel used this method so successfully
in hospital case at Hamburg that the pa
tent, boy, looked on without moving a
muscle while a deep incision of twelve
centimeters in length was made in his
thigh.
