RYAN AND DEMPSEY.
The Nonpareil Suggested = Private scraI
with Bare Knucklss.

The Nonpareil Suggested Private Scrap
with Bare Knucklss.
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 15.-Tommy Ryan
will leave in the morning for Chicago.
Dempsey. hearing that Ryan said it was
a good thing for him that the fgh
did not come off, hunted up Ryan and
offered to fight in private with bare
knuckles, hut Ryan declined.
Ryan was strong favorite fn the pro.
posed contest for the welter-weight
championship. The feeling seemed to
to be that Dempsey will surrender q
second championship, and probably end
his career in the ring. There were many
who professed to believe otherwise. but
they were not backing their opinions
with money. Dempsy was we'll below
weight and therefore good and hard, but
there were doubts as to his wind and
those who had talked with him be.
lieved that ne had not fully recovered
his old-time spirit and cool calculating 2
head. His methods of training since he
came to New Orleans have not increased
confidence in him. He took long run
last evening, and after returning to his
room rubbed down.
Tommy Ryan took no exercise ex-
cept an afternoon run. He was at
about 14l. "Parson" Davies, Frank
Ives, Captain Anson, Abe Levy and
others visited him and agreed that he
was trained to the hour and in the fin est
shape.
Jack Dempsey said last night that by
being Bowen's second and showing him
self publicly he gave Ryan's camp q
great advantage, but he has never had
more confidence and never looked finer.
Dempsey a age is the only thing against
him, although he does not show it. Ryan
is largely the favorite.
Here are come of the opinions that
were expressed as to the outcome OF tn g
contest

Corbett Is More than Ever Disgust,
With the Ring.

Corbett Is More than Ever Disgusted
With the Ring.
DALLAS, Tex, Dec. 15.-James j. Cor
bett, who 10 in this city, was asked his
opinion of the killing of Bowen in the
New Orleans prize fight. He said:
"I'm sorry to hear it. l read the ac-
count of the fight in this mornings
newspapers but had not heard of his
death, and was hoping the worst fears
were unfounded. AS to the blow, l do
not know what kind of one Lavigne used
but it must have been terrible one. 1t
will hurt pugilism. and makes me more
anxious than ever to get out OF the busi-
Eess."
''Do you not believe that the refined
o-called-glove contests under Queens
berry rules. as compared with the old
time London ring rules with bare
knuckles on the turf, are subjected to
q ubt, in the light of the various fatali-
tee and serious injuries that have taken
place ?''
"No, | don't. Tho many fatalities
that have taken place Of late cannot, 1
telieve. be- ascribed to the style of
lighting, but 10 the men that uHe it. In

LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec. 15.-Bob Fitz-
simmons, when seen tonight and asked
his opinion of the Lavigne- Bowen fatal
bout, said: :
II have nothing to say further than /

nate. l don't believed Lavigne killed
Bowen. His death was caused by his
bead violently striking the pine floor
of the ring"

asked.
"Not in the least. The adverse public
opinion will die out after Q while and
everything will 70 on as heretofore"
When shown Corbett's statement that
he was disgusted with the business and
wanted to retire, Fitzsimmons replied:
swell. he may have chance after l
meet him."
sULLIvAN's SAY.
URBANA. o., Dec. 16.-John L. Sulli-
van was seen at the Madison Square
theater where his company appeared
tonight. He said that the blow on the
Jaw of Bowen could not have resulted in
death. but the fall, striking on the back
of his head with such force, caused con-
cusaion of the brain and death must
have rssultsd from the fail. The
death OF Con Riordan and Bowen, fol-
lowing each other so soon, will, he be-
lieves, have . tendency to stop boxing
contests. But soon the effect will wear
off and these contests will be resumed.
Sullivan had been deeply concerned
for Jack Dempaey during the day and
was very anxious that he should win.

ICE COMBS HIGH.
A Legal Fight for Damages by the Don
sumer'a Ice Company.

Legal Fight for Damsgec by the Con-
sumer's Ice COMPANY.
A suit involving heavy monetary In
terents is on trial in department four
before Judge Van Dyke. 1t is the one
OF J. II. Bryeon VS.. A. ]. McCone and
w. Louis Bell, doing business under the
name of the Fulton Engineering works,
aud has been hanging firs for some
time.
The total sum involved ia s26. 703. Is,
and .he array OF legal talent brought to-
gether to engage in legal battle for this
spoil is quite imposing. Messrs. Chap
man and Hendricks and W. p. Gardiner
represent the plaintiff in the case, while
Messrs. Harphan, Knight and Simpson
and Hunsaker, Goodrich and McCutchin
are identified with tho dofendan.s' eide
OF the case.
1t appears that in September. 1891,
the defendants entered into . contract
with plaintiff, carrying ON busi-
ness as the Consumer's Ice company
and change the existing process
of ice making into the Kitton system,
according to the specifications drawn
up. 1t was guaranteed that with the
new machinery Is tons of good, pure
and merchantable ice would be pro-
duced. On this contract the plaintiff
paid s7807.l1, and in all respects he
claims he has fulfilled, on his side, all
tho requirements OF the contract entered
into.
Tho defendant, however, it is alleged,
did not carry out the terms of the con-
tract. and during the entivs seaeon of
1892 the Consumers Ice company was
shut down, and was not re-
ally in good running order until Jsnu-
sfy, 1898. The loss thus sustained is
oct down at $12, $3.50, and with acoruing
interest and costa, etc., makes this sum

BASKET BALL BY GIRLS,

The normal school students have ros
vived the game of basket ball. the mem
ory OF which has been handed down
from generation to generation through
the medium OF Shakeepeare's plays.
The game is played with football,
and, as in football, the object of the
players is the putting of the ball behind
Q. oyer the sdyeyssris.' goal. Okher-
vice the game is somewhat like football
played backward, inasmuch as the kick.
ing Of the ball is foul, and interference
with player having the ball in possess
sion is foul. counting one in the score
OF the side offended against. Briefly,
the ball is passed from player to player,
each PLAYER endeavoring to throw the
ball between the goal posts and to pre-.
vent the opposing players from doing
the came.
