THE DALLAS FIGHT
Gov. Culberson Tells the Sheriff to Do
His Duty.

Gov. Culberson Tells the Sheriff to Do
His Duty.
Gov. Culberson of Texas has made pub
lie some correspondence between himself
and Sheriff Cabell of Dallas county re-
garding the Corbett-FitZsimmons fight.
The correspondence was opened by Gov.
Culberson asking the sheriff whether he
intended to abide by the decision of At
torney General Crane, holding the prize
fighting law valid, and whether it was
his intention to exercise all the powers in
vested in him to prevent the fight.
Sheriff Cabelps reply is that while he did
not ask for the. opinion, ne is willing
and will abide by it; that should writ be
placed in his hands by the county attor-
ley he would certainly serve it, or in case
no writ is issued and he rs left to face
the matter alone he Will unhesitatingly
discharge his duties He cites, however.
that the criminal statute defining prize
fighting makes it a misdemeanor, and not
felony, and asks the governor if, under
such circumstances. he would be justified
in using such force as may be necessary,
even If it requires the shooting down of
citizens.
In reply, the governor says: while 1T is
true that the prize fight at Dallas is not
advertised to take place until October, the
propriety of the public officers of the state
taking action is obvious. 1t is proper that
they should give notice at once of the firm
purpose to enforce the law, that none may
be deceived. The constitution, which is the
supreme law of the state, makes it the
duty Of the governor to cause the laws to
be faithfully executed. At the proper time
what force may be necessary and deemed
exredient to guard against failure will
be used to prevent this proposed infrac-
ton of the laws of the state"
Cabelrs interrogatory as to whether the
governor would sanction the shooting down
Of citizens was rather hard shot for
Texas young governor" and he very
promptly replied that he would not at
tempt to answer that question, but would
refer it to the attorney general for his
shortly.

In the evening session of the chest tour

Steinitz offered Burn a queens gambit,
which was promptly declined Nothing

He was, however, handicapped by the diff
cult position attained and the time at his
disposal did not suffice to find the only
correct continuation to win. Under the
circumstances Burn was enabled to equal
ize matters. AMI after a fine struggle. last
ing for fifty moves, the game was declared
a draw.
latter accepted a queens gambit. The
Teuton conducted the attack in mastery
style. and after securing couple of pawns
his adversary looked beaten. However, the
Londoner began to show his teeth in the
middle game by putting up a brilliant de-
fen3e. This was to no purpose, for at the
proper time Lasker brilliantly sacrificed a
piece, and after fcrty-seven moves Teich-
mann had enough.
The veteran Bird tried an Evans gambit
on Pillsbury, who accepted the offer and
took the gambit pawn. The attack on the
part of the first player was, however 50
brilliantly conducted as to give Pillsbury a
lot of trouble. Fine play exhibited by Pills
bury gave him an even game, and the end
game stage was reached with an interest
ing position. Then the Brooklynite drew
out by means Of a fine combination. Bird
tried very hard to avert defeat, but Pills
bury scored ali the same. Forty-two
moves were made in this game.

George c. Strong of New London, Conn.
is national croquet champion for the third
time. He played his last game last night
at Norwich Conn.,, with Dickey. who does
not stand high in the lists. but nevertheless
defeated Burgess when he met the latter.
Mr. Strong was determined to win again.
and played the game of his life. He kept
possession of the. balls three-Quarters Of
the time, and coaxed them through one
wicket after another. aided by several bril-
liant shots, until he brought out both
rovers, touched the home stake. and once
more gained the title of champion.
The game was indisputably the best ever
played on the local grounds, either socially
or in championship competition. Although
Dickey secured the balls several times. he
could not use them to any advantage, and
Strong won as he pleased in less than twp
hours, which is about the average length
of tournament games.
Mr. Strong was the president of the Ma
tional Croquet Association in 1898, and has
competed at the annual meet for several
years. He is considered the most thought
full and heady player that ever swung
mallet. Bishop and Dickey, the weakest
player in the lot, by beating Burgess and
losing to Strong kept the championship In
Connecticut. instead OF allowing it to go to
the bay state
The match between Strong ana JacoDuS
for the Vanwicll3e badge was played Thurs
day and yesterday. Strong was tired and
also chose to reserve himself for the
championship struggle and Jacobus won
four straight games and the right to wear
the trophy one year more.
In the second division Wahly of this city
was much surprised during the morning
when he made three misses in his game
with Apgar, and as A result. the Trenton
man gave him his second defeat, and 1t
became necessary for Wahly to defeat
Fay to get first honors. which he did after
a finely played game. Apgar then defeated
Towne and Chalfont. and thus tied Fay
for second honors
In the third division Finn Of Whining
ton, Del, and Cady of New London had
each lost one game when they came to-
gether to play their contest, which. being
won after hard tussle by Cady, gave
him first honors in that division.

CRICKET.

The executive committee of the Crick-
eters' Association of the United States has
met and selected the eleven to represent
the United States in the International
match against Canada to be played on Sep
tember ., and following days, but as it is
considered probsbl that a number of those
selected will be unable to make the trip
on account of their desire to participate
in the matches against the English col
legians week or SO later, the committee
has decided not to make the personnel of
the team known until the acceptances are
all in.
The team that will represent the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, past and present,
in the first match to be played against the
visiting English collegiate cricketers cap
taired by MIR. F. Mitchell, was selected
yesterday morning by a committee COM
posed of G. S. Patterson. W. Brocka and
DIR. j. A. Scott of the varsity alumni and
J. II. Mason, representing the Philadel-
phia Cricket Club. upon whose grounds at
Wissahickon Heights. the match is to be
played on September 13. ID and 16. The
team selected by the committee is az fol-
lows: G. s. Patterson, w. Brockie, w. w.
Noble, H. I. Brown, F. H. Bohlen, F. w.
Ralston., e. w. Clark, jr.. C. Coates, tr.,
F. l.. A]temus, S. Goodman, IT, and J. r.
or H. c. Thayer.
1t was learned yesterday that the teams
to represent Philadelphia in the interna-
tional matches scheduled for Mannheim and
Haverford will not be selected by the COM
mittee of the associated clubs, but, accord
ing to the plan in vogue for several wears
past, Germantown will invite certain we'll
known cricketers to make I'D the eleven
to play at Mannheim, and Merton will pur-
sue similar course in the selection of the
team to play at Haverford.
There has been little fault to find with
this plan of procedure in the past and it
will no doubt work all right again and is
sure to prove much mere expeditions than
to leave the question of selection to a COM
nittee composed of three Representatives
from each club.

1t also has an effect on the yachts looks.
It is black, and, as it extends up to with

appearance of fun black hull. This takes
away considerable of the "yachty'' look
that is made by pure white and makes the
vessel look comparatively like q ship. It
also enhances the appearance of power Of

The yacht will remain in dock until Mon

she is towed down to Sandy Hook.
1t is the intention Of Captain Cranfleld
just before the races for the cup. but also
to do the same thing on the day succeed

has never been done before. and there may
be protest against the action. even IL the
Americas cup committee does not posi-
lively forbid it. There Is no known law
against such course, but when the same
thing was suggested by the Thistle people
SO much opposition was expressed that the
plan was dropped.
1t looks very much as though Defender
and Vighant will not meet In her next
trial races on Tuesday as arranged News
from Bristol indicates that Defender cam
not ship her new mast and do everything
else necessary to put her in racing trim
in time to have the first sail on Tuesday,

That friction does not always produce

incessant. but the playing was latter by
far than the article in which the champions
have been dealing SO effectually to bring
up their thirteenth successive victory.
From first to last the visitors seemed so
bent on a kicking expedition that In a
game Of foot ball they might have won
out. But in base ihan such childish and
brainless behavior ts exceedingly tiresome

On the game. ~
Yesterdays duo of farewell games with
Washington were nothing like so exciting
as the treats which have lately been dealt
out to the faithful. The man who mixes
the ginger in the sport must have taken
day off. as the playo was not up to the
mark. Whether or not any pepnant hopes
ever sprouted in the senatorial breasts
early in the year, 1t Is certain that by now
they have died for lack of nourishment
The next aim Of the Capitalians is to rub
1t into BALTIMORE as their most bitter

the minds Of the followers of the wagner
ties. for where else the rivalry comes In

The umpiring yesterday was good, yet,
as invariably happens when they play
with Baltimore. the Senators went home
burdened with the thought that they had
been held up and their last hope plucked
out Of their aching hearts. All through
beth games they kept up incessant objec-
tions to the rulings, and at least three
times Burnham forced them along by pull

kicking would have ended it is impossible
