News Of the Sporting )
World.

"St. Paul will finish the season In
the Western league one, two, three.
We are a hard-hitting nine, and
they can't beat us running bases"
This assuring declaration was
vouchsafed by Third Baseman
"Tim" O'Rourke, of the Saints.who
arrived in this city early last even
ing. He came from his farm near
Tracy, Lyon county, MINI. Tins
playing weight is 100 pounds, and
he looks as fit as a prize fighter.
He says he is anxious for the sea-
son to open, and that he expects to
play the game Of his life under
Comiskey. If the lively third base
man will only duplicate his ga work
with the Sioux, the st. Paul root
ers'' will not register suspicion
of a kick.
Farmer Tim" was the king pin
of the Western league last year.
His batting was terrific. He easily
led the whole crowd with a bat
ting average of 1882. In fielding, too,
he enjoyed the distinction of lead
ing all third basemen in his league,
with an average of 1854. Comiskey
regards him as one of his stars, and
predicts that when the season
closes Tim will have repeated his
batting triumph of 1894.
O'Rourke is a Chicago boy, and
was born in the Windy city twenty
eight years ago. He began his base
in
for Minneapolis. During the inter-
vening years he has shown such re-
markable ability that he has been
sold no less than four different
times at figures ranging from 81 900
to $4,000. After playing with the
Emporia, Kansas, team in 1887, he
drifted to the Texas league, and
played with Dallas in 1888, Calves
ton in 1889 and Houston early in
1890. In July Of that year he was
sold to Syracuse, New York, where
he finished the season. O'Rourke
PLAYED WITH ST. PAUL
in 1891, and late in the season was
sold to Columbus. The succeeding
year his reputation as a batter at
tracted the attention of the Balti-
more management, and negotiations
were opened which resulted in
ORourke's becoming a full-fedged
Oriole.,
Although among the big leaguers,
ORourke was so handy with the
wagon tongue that many of the old.
timers were surprised, and when the
season Of '93 closed he had the salts
faction of being cIassed among the
heavy batters of the country. He
was only exceeded in his bat
ting average by such famous strik-
ers as Childs, of Cleveland, and the
veteran Dan Brouthers. O'Rourke
and Delehanty, the hard-hitting out
fielder of the Phillies, were tied for
third place.
In 1894 Baltimore sold O'Rourke
to Louisville, receiving jennings and
Taylor in exchange and a cash
bonus of $1,000. He finished the sea-
son with Sioux City, where he stood
mead and shoulders above any third
paseman in the Western league.

Chicago Athletes.
NEW YORK, April 1.-THE much
talked of water polo match between
the "craeker-jack of the New York
Athletic club and the Chicago A. A
team began tonight in the tank of the
n. Y. A. C. house. The space around
the tank was, unfortunately, too small
to accommodate the many admirers
of the sport, and Manager Duffy did
his best to accommodate all those who
were anxious to see the interstate
contest At $3.50 o'clock DR.. Davis
called the teams. and at the word
ready" they lined up as follows

Exactly at half-past DR.. Davis
tossed the ball into the middle of the
tank, and Thorne made a grab for it.
Percy Dickey was there before him
and passed it back to Douglass, who
made a clean swim through Hunt. and
Patrick, and Billy managed to score
q goal in 80 seconds On the second
toss of the ball Thompson caught it
first, but Billy Dickey again showed
his superior tricky work on landing
the ball on the goal line inside of
minute. AT the third attempt the New
Yorks rushed, with Dickey still to the
fore, and inside of two minutes they
placed another goal to their credit.
During the previous round Patrick
was disabled and Juan Smith took his
place. BY clever work in passing from
the two Dickeys and Kintner, Walter
Douglass succeeded in scoring an
other goal. Time, s minutes. In the
second half Thorne, of Chicago, was
aggressor, and he tossed the ball past
the Dickeys and Murray. Kintner got
it, but lost it a moment later to Thomp-
son. Then Sport Donnelly grabbed
it. Thorne sDurted. excellently, and,
grabbing the ball, pushed his way
through his opponents and scored ia
goal for Chicago in 6 minutes / seq

BY A CHANCE BLOW
Gus Augustine, Of st. Paul,
Knocks Out Tom Norton,
of Minneapolis.
THE FIGHT is PULLED OFF
Before Two Hundred Sports
Across the Line in Wis
consin.
THE FIGHT is PULLED OFF
LITTLE SCIENCE is SHOWN
But the Battle Cory Enough
The Result Was I'm
expected.

Gus Augustine, of this city, and
Tom Norton, of Minneapolis, both
welterweights, fought for a purse
last night mile over the line
in Wisconsin. The battle was pulled
off before an audience of zoo sport
ing men from the Twin Cities. The
mill was brief, but CORY enough to
satisfy the most eXacting. 1t lasted
lust five rounds, the Minneapolis
man going out on a chance left
hand upper cut, which landed square
ly on the point of his cnln.
When the battle was over both
men looked like slaughter house
graduates. Norton's eyes were
nearly closed, and a big lump on his
left cheek indicated the frightful
force of Augustine's vicious left.
The fight nearly resulted in a row,
many claiming that Norton was on
his feet when the gong rang. This
belief was erroneous, as the Mime
apolis pug was clearly on 'tall tours"
when he was counted out. The time
keeper so viewed the situation, and
the fight was awarded to the st. Paul
man.
The fight was an exhibition of
brute strength and endurance rather
than science. 1t was diff, >" "bang''-
give and take-from the moment the
big fellows shook hands.
Both men slugged terrifically, and
after the second round both were
groggy.
Early in the fight it looked as if
Augustine would be a soft mark, but
Norton several times failed to follow
up advantages that would have given
him the battle. This was notably so
In the fourth round, when
NORTON SENT HIS MAN DOWN,
where he remained until the time
keeper counted six. When he re-
gained his feet, he swayed like a
reed, but managed to duck several
attempted finishers. In the final
round it was the toss of a coin
which would put the other out. Both
men fought at random, but Angus
tine finished his man on a break
away after a clinch.
AS "a preliminary to the middle
weight battle, the main event of the
evening, Jack Mcdonald, of this city,
and Eddy Gardner, of Minneapolis, a
brother of the Omaha Kid" donned
the mitts. The boys fought at lis
pounds. and bave clean, scientific ex-
hibition. AT the end of the sixth
round the contest was decided a draw
1t was McDonald's first appearance in
the ring, and the little fellow caught
the crowd by the exceedingly clever
way he handled himself. Both were
game active and alert. While a num-
Der of heavy body blows were ex-
shanged, neither scored clean knock
down. The referees decision was
heartily applauded.
The crowd was in good humor when
the time for the big fellows to come
out was given. Norton put in ap-
pearance first. He was attended by
Herman Smith and Louis Bodun, of
Minneapolis. jimmy Murphy and

COAL FROM THE LUNGS.
Several Tons of 1t Breathed Out in
Lifetime.

n Uterine.
We breathe oxygen in, and coal out.
Experiments show that eight ounces
troy of solid carbon are given off by a
pair of human lungs every "a hours.
That would be 61a tons in a life of 70
years. What would that amount of
carbon be worth in the form of a
diamond? A diamond is pure carbon.
The price of diamonds concerns very
few people, but the condition of the
lungs is a matter of supreme i'm
portance in this season of changing
weather. Unless the lungs be strong
they cannot eXpel the carbon. A cold
attacking them directly weakens them.
Any depression, though it seems to
affect only one organ, must be over
come by bracing the whole body. For
this purpose the doctors prescribe
stimulants.
Duffy's Pure Malt Whisky is highly
priced by the medical profession, be-
cause it rouses the latent energy of the
body, creates keen appetite, and is
invigorating and nerve-soothing. If
the use of it were followed by an in:
furious reaction, the doctors would not
commend it, The fact is, that Duffy
Pure Malt Whisky stimulates the Or
gans to do their work properly, SO
that all ground gained is held.
Hence, it is standard medicine; a
household remedy of proven value II
is especially useful in the spring to
fight those obstinate colds that so
often develop into pneumonia and
bronchitis

LADY SOMERSET DEFENDED.
Miss willard Explains How She
Rents Buildings for Saloons.


Rents Buildings for Saloons.
LONDON April 11.-Charges made
by Mr.. Hicks, of Chicago, recently,
that Lady Henry Somerset rented con-
siderable of her property here to liquor
dealers and that her tenements were
allowed to remain in disgracefully
unhealthy condition, have caused much
Indignation among Lady Somerset's
friends. Relative to the matter, Miss
Francis Willard says:
AS soon as Lady Henry Somerset
had left the United States, old state
ments concerning her saloons, her
slums, her parks, etc, were revived.
In England none of the criticisms
would be received for a moment 1t is
well known that when she came into
her property most of it was under
ninety-nine year leases, with which
she could no more interfere than an
outsider; a few licenses of the few
public houses on her estate have run
out, and, in every instance, she has
declined to renew them She is lust
now having a law suit with her trus-
tees, who claim that for her not to re-
new the license of the Whitehall, a
famous hotel in the town of Reigate,
near London, where she lives, is u
public injury, and that, as trustees,
| they are in duty bound to prevent
property becoming less valuable. In
her defense Lady Henry Somerset as
serts the right of conscience, and that
she is not to be required to do what she
considers to be wrong, even though the
property should suffer.
Lady Henry Somerset's record is
perfectly clear, and the men who are
trying to injure her are undoubtedly
in the employ of the liquor traffic. AS
for Mr.. Hicks, I never heard of him.

result, the average was lower than here

SWEETER THAN SUGAR.
New Substance Discovered in Coal
Tar


CHICAGO, April IA discovery of
more than ordinary interest has re-
Gently been made in the Kent labora-
tory at Chicago university. Al new
compound has been found which has
sweetening powers in excess of those
possessed by saccharine, which has
, hitherto been considered the sweetest
substance known to chemists. While
working upon a series derived from
the coal tar products, DR.. HI. L.
Wheeler happened to touch his pencil
to his tongue. He was astonished ito
find that it had a very sweet taste
Upon looking about for the cause Dr.
Wheeler found that he had been whit
ing on piece of filter paper mon
which there was a very small ouan-
tty of the material which he had beeu
working with. This led him to look;
into the matter. and found that an
after-taste like that of licorice VIA s
noticeable.
III. L. Wheeler, Phi. D., to whom the
credit for this discovery is due. is a.
graduate of Yale college, and has con-
tlnued his studies since his graduation
both in this country and Germany.
He is a son of George Henry Wheeler
president of the Chicago City railway.
Candy manufacturers and druggists
who have examined the new chemical
said 1T will prove valuable in MANY
ways.

From another source it was learned
however, that Lieut.. Baker has gone
