CLEVELAND, ONO, Oct. 1.-The first
of the series of the contests for the Tenn

to-day was an exciting contest. For four
innings it was a pitchers battle between
Young and Mcmahon, both pitching
superb ball. The batters got to work, and
the next five innings were replete with
hard and scientific hitting and phenom-
email fielding. When the Baltimores forged
ahead in the eighth inning the game
seemed lost to the Clevelands. but Tebeau's
men pulled themselves together and tied
the score in their half. In the ninth the
BaltimoIes got one run to the good and

FRESNO TRICK EVENTS.
Ethel Dotc,,s, Harvey Nc, HiIsdale and
Lynch the Days Vinners,

LDfach tHe DdY'S Winners.
FRESNO, CAL, Oct. 1.-The second dav
of the race meeting proved to be as sue
cessful in all respects as the first one.
There were number of surprises, and
there never has been such hard driving on
the Fresno track.
The opening attraction was 2:17 pace,
best three in five heats. Ketchem, mean
and agonizing to many hearts, tonight
was the favorite at 10 to 5.
The first was a dead heat between
Ketchem and Fresno Prince, and in tn
next one Ketchem became uncomfortable
at the quarter post and ran up against he
fence, despite oil the efforts Of Driver Ma
ben to get him down to work again.
Ketchem was accordingly distanced. This
left the race to Fresno Prince and Harvey
Nc, and the latter won in three straight
heats. The race was..yerv close. Durfee' $
driving winning it. Harvey Mes time,
2:15-2: 15-2:1 6-2:15A.
The second event was 2:24 trot, best
three in five. This was won by Ethel
Downs, with Native State q close second.
Rex Clifford failed to make any kind of a
showing. Ethel Downs time was 2:16k-
2:141%-2:1 8-2:18.
The third race, 2:17 trot, best
race of the day, and much '''l en-.
thusiasm of the spectators was provoked.
The trotters strung out and punched UP
again all around the track in the four
heats, always punching for the home
stretch. Hillsdale won the four heats
straight, with Visalia close second. Hills
dale's time was 2:1S4-2; 16-2:15-2:16
The last event was half-mile dash, run
ming race, for all ages. Syrick won by
half length ahead of Fleet. Syrick's
time was 40.

LONG TERMS IMPOSED.
The Prohibiting Act Passed
Almost Unanimously by
the Legislature.
GOES INTO EFFECT AT ONCE.
Corbett and Fitzsimmons MUS
Now Seek Another Place
of Meeting.

AUSTIN, TEX, Oct. 2.-Corbett and
Fitzsimmons must find another place than
Texas in which to pull off their fight for
the proposed championship of the world.
The Legislature to-day, by a vote that was
practically unanimous in the Senate, and
only little less so in the House, passed
the bill prohibiting prize-ighting, and
thus accomplished the purpose for which
the Governor assembled it in special ses-
sion.
The vote by which the bill was carried
furnishes the strongest proof of the sentI-
ment of the State with reference to prize
fighting. The only rallying point of the
minority was the opposition to the
emergency clause, which carried the bill
into immediate effect. Some of the mem
bers honestly regarded this as an injustice
to such of the citizens of Dallas as had
spent large sums in anticipation of the
fight, and opposed it for that reason alone.
Their arguments were not effective, how
ever, and the vote in the House on the
final passage of the bill showed but votes
in opposition with 107 in lis favor. In the
Senate the bill was carried with only one
negative vote in the twenty-seven that
were cast.
The Senate made quick work of the
measure. 1t had taken recess until 3
o'clock this afternoon in order that the
Dallas people might be given a full hear
ing by the Judiciary Committee. Within
fifty-fiYe minutes after reassembling the
bill had passed.
The work in the House was not so expe-
ditious. The House is the larger body
and several members desired to be heard
upon the Senate bill, which was substi-
tuted for the House bill then pending
Amid applause number of amendments
were offered. Several were adopted, but
these do not change the measure to any
material extent except to make it still
more effective. As a result of these amend
ments the bill will be returned to the
Senate tomorrow, but its adoption il
amended form will be delayed no longer
than necessary to call the roll. twill Their
be sent to the Governor, and when his sig
nature shall have been attached it will be-
come a law.
The bill makes prize-fghting a felony
and imposes a punishment upon the prin
cipals for every infraction of the law by
Imprisonment in the penitentiary for 6
term of not less than two and not more
than FIVE years.

McKEEVER THE VICTOR.
Valentine Bested in His Fight
With the Philadelphia
Lightweight.
Virtually Whipped in the Ninth
Round, but Stayed Until the
Seventeenth.

MASPETH, L. l., Oct. 2.-The second
series of boxing bouts given by the man
agement of the Empire Athletic Club were
brought to close tonight in the club
house at Maspeth. The star event of the
evening was the bout between Arthur Val
entine, who claims the lightweight cham
pionship of England, and Harley Nc
Keever of Philadelphia, the unbeaten
American lightweight. The match ex-
cited great deal of interest, being some
what in the nature of an international con-
test, as both men have fine records.
The curtain-raiser was a six-round bout
between Marty McCue of New York and
Frank Patterson of Brooklyn, feather
weights. At the end of the sixth round
the referee declared the bout a draw.
The bout of the evening then came on
The men were scheduled for twenty
rounds. McKeever had the best of the
fight from the start, and as early as the
third {oGnd was pounding Valentine at
will. Valentine became groggy in the
fourth, and barely held out to the bell
In the sixth, Valentine cleverly avoided
some of McKeever's blows, and with
logged pluck appeared to be trying to
wear the Philadelphian out.
Valentine got in an occasional crack, but
IN the elgnth hcheeVerf rushed him all
over in the heavy mitigating. The
Britisher took terrific amount of punish
ment, and was game to the backbone.
In round ten McKeever went for his
man, and landed right and left, knocking
him down. Valentine got up only to be
knocked down again, and the third time
he stayed down and was counted out.
A more magnificent exhibition of logged
pluck than that displayed by Valentine
