INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 2.-The local sporting

peculiar prizefght, news of which leaked out
today. It occurred yesterday morning at the

some reputation a feather-weight pugilist,

and only about two dozen sports" were ad-
United. Seven bloody rounds were fought, in
each of which the woman had the best of it,
When the seventh was finished both were in
such bad condition that a half hours time had
to be given. Two more rounds were fought.
The ninth ended with Mcmahon stretched upon
the floor, Knocked out by a heavy blow from the
amazon left upon his neck. she was awarded

by Manager Harris was satisfactory to all
parties concerned. and will probably be
adopted. Colonel Robinson, who some time
ago announced himself TO be in favor of joining
the Two leagues, is now naturally opposed TO
the scheme, as under the new order OF things
the oakland club has been frozen out.
Robinson disapproves OF the idea 10 shut up
the Haight street grounds during the absence OF
the san Francisco club. He advocates an eight

should be played at the local grounds while
the san Francisco team is away from home. He

the league into retaining the town across the

the genial secretary of Chauncey NJ. De-
pew, the other morning. and while there
was given glimpse of some of the queer
letters which daily pour into the office, the
majority of which. | am pleased to say,
never reach the desk of the president of
the great New York Central. One letter
particularly struck me. 1t was that of a
gentleman who anonymously informed
Mr.. Depew that he was fraud and a
greatly overestimated man. "This fellow"
said Mr.. Duval, writes letter to Mr.. De-
pew every time he sees reference TO one
of Mr.. Depew's speeches or addresses in a
newspaper. His mission seems to be to
prevent Mr.. Depew from ever thinking
well of himself. He has wasted enough
postage stamps in five years to buy him
self suit of clothes. and still Mr.. Depew
goes right on making speeches. Some
times his criticisms are amusing Often
they are coarse and insolent." 1t is to be
hoped that this crank's hostility to
Chauncey will not assume the bomb
singing phase.
