GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OF TIE DAY

There is ALWAYS plenty of outdoor sports
in and about PittsDurg on Christmas Day,
or as il Is tomorrow a Christmas holiday.
One pleasing feature is that the sports are
NOT so brutal and degrading as they used to
be; thev are decidedly of more enobling
character than they were only few years
ago.
Among the many events scheduled for
tomorrow is the football game at Exposi-
ton Park between the Pittsburg clubs
team and the team from Chicago. There is
considerable local interest in the contest
snd doubtless it will be one of the best seen
here. The teams are well matched. The
Chicago PLAYERS will be here this morning
so as co get a good rest before the contest
tomorrow afternoon. Secretary Kelly, of
the Chicago team, writes that his men are
in good trim and as they have only been
defeated once this season they are confident
OF another victory tomorrow. The names
of the niavers were printed in last Sundays
DISPATCH
The Pittsburg team will, according to all
accounts, be in tirst-clsss trim.
Another event that promises to be of
more than ordinary interest is the live
bird shoot at Glenwood, under the auspices
OF the Glenwood Sportsman's Association.
About 500 live pigeons have been secured
ior the contests, and there will also be a
large number of blue rocks on hand. There
will be six sweepstake events at live pig
cons and shooting will commence at 10
O'Clock A. NJ

two of the junior football teams intend

expected that there will be good turn out
at each event.

sWELLs IN THE RING,
Two Young Bloods Fight Eight Lively
Rounds to Settle a Dispute.


Rounds to Settle a Dispute.
NEW YORK, Dec. PA prize fight
took place last night between two Young
swelIs of this city, Charlie Wade and
Charlie PatoriuS They have been &C.
quaintances for some time and are courting
sisters. An argument arose as to which
was the better man. Both feeling that
they thoroughly understood the art of self
defense, or rather manly art, they agreed to
settle the dispute in a glove fight to a
finish.
There we're only two men present outside
of the personal friends of the combatants.
The boys had no difficulty in selecting q
battle ground, and the fight took place in
the back parlor of five-story brown stone
house, on the west side OF the city, and in
thickly populated neighborhood. Eight
spirited rounds were fought before Wade
succeeded in knocking his opponent out.
1t was not done in q single blow, but from
the moment Wade saw he had his man
groggv he never let up until he had him
out for good. The last round lasted two
minutes and four seconds. Joe Early, Cal
McCarthy's old manager, acted as referee.

A Baby Lion Arrives and Assistant Superin-
tendent Burns Is Happy.
NEW YORK. Dec. 24-[Soecidl. The
winter house of the lions at Central Park is
at present an object of decided interest 1t
was closed to-day and none but the keepers
were allowed to enter Occasionally Assist
ant Superintendent Burns would tap softly
on the door, bolts, bars and chains would
rattle and the keeper peer cautiously out
The door would then be opened wide
enough to permit Mr. Burns to squeeze in,
after which it would be tightly
closed. Presently Mr.. Burns would emerge,
wearing mysterious smile on his face and
before the door was shut he usually gave
some whispered instructions to the keeper.
All these mysterious actions excited COM
meut, but after considerable waiting and
watching it was finally discovered that the
cause of all the excitement was the arrival
of cub lion. The cub, of which Jack and
Alice are the parents, was born Friday
evening and was apparently doing as well
as could be expected under the circum-
stances,
1.-THE reason we are so careful" said Mr..
Burns, sis because we are very anxious to
raise this cub. 1t is a difficult matter to
bring up the young of animals in captivity.
Alice has had two previous litters, but not
one of them is alive. The first litter, con-
sisting of three cubs, came in 1890, aud
Alice evidently did not like their looks, for
she ate all three of them. Alice's second
litter came in 1891. This also consisted of
three cubs, but they we're stillborn. We
are very sanguine that this cub will pull
through, as Alice seems quite fond of it.
No one has yet got close enough to the
cage to get good look at the cub. When
anyone comes nearer than Alice thinks is
proper she Immediately picks up the cub in
her mouth and holds it until the intruder
withdrawE. Then she lays it tenderly down

LONDON, Dec pa Copyright ]-Colonel
North means running his dog Fullerton
again next year for the Waterloo cup, and
if he proves successful for the fifth time he
will have accomplished what no other dog
has yet done. The Colonel has some other
smart dogs. and these will be run by other
nominators, so that his success again is
highly probable.
Should Mrs. Langtrv's illness terminate
fatally her horse Milford would be in

have but small effect on the racing world,
as Milford does not show to advantage in
races over five furlongs, but if Abingdon
Baird, who is also ill, should die, then his
horse Meddler must be struck out, much
more important matter, as Isinglass should
then become such favorite as was Or

spring.

sela.h Intsrests rs. Puhllc Good


Senator Hsusbrough. Of North Dakota,
said In Washington day or two ago that
he was opposed to Senator Chandler's bill
suspending immigration for year The
reason he gave for his opposition is that the
shutting out Of immigrants for any length
Of time would hurt the west. He virtually
admits that there is great danger Of the in
PRODUCTION OF cholera into the country IL
immigration is not checked, but the infer
ence is that he would rather have a cholera
epidemic than that his section OF the ooun-
try should lose few immigrants.
Senator Hansbrough's whole thought Is
of his own state. He cares little, apparently,
for the interests of the rest of the country
1t is matter Of comparatively little con-
sequence to him that tens of thousands Of
people might become victims of the cholera
and business to the amount of hundreds Of
millions OF dollars might be destroyed.
He does not seem to take into account al
all the fact that few cases Of cholera In
Chicago next summer would ruin, practi-
cally, the Columbian exposition. And if the
disease should become epidemic in the
country, immigration would cease of its
own accord, not only for one year. but for
several years
Some idea Of the loss of life and property
thar a cholera epidemic causes is learned
from what has occurred at Hamburg. There
thousands of lives have been destroyed. and
the business loss is placed at sSJ, 000, 900
and the end is not yet.
Senator's who are inclined to place local
and purely selfish interests above the general
welfare should think twice, and seriously
before voting against the Chandler suspen
sion bill. II there are good reasons fol-
thinking that the bill would keep cholert
out OF the country, it ought to be passed
We ought TO take no risks that can b
avoided.
