NOT MUCH OF A VICTORY.
Ziegler's Victory Over Abbott Don't
Stamp Him Great Boxer.

Stunp nihs n 0Tcut I1OAcTs
Baltimore, Aug. 2O-The Abbott-ZiegleI
contest last night was a splendid exhibl-
tion OF boxing and ring generalship.
Ziegler won his victory on points alone,
as neither man was injured, and it is likely
that they could have continued the contest
for a greater lumber OF rounds. They both
insisted that a decisiou must be given at the
end Of the twenty rounds, and, as Ziegler
had done the most of the leading, and had
made his blows most effective in the last
two rounds OF the contest, the decision
was very properly given to him.
Abbott, on the other hand, lost nothing in
the contest. he was up against a heavier
and stronger man, and II was only his
wonderful cleverness and coolness that
saved him from being laid low by the
hundreds of savage swings that were
thrown about his head. In the second
round of the bout ZieGler had Abbott up
Queer street, and 1t was Ouly due to the
Briton's cunningness that he wiggled out
of the bad hole. In the third round Abb
bott succeeded In getting in his famous
down-chOp with his right, that lauded
flush on the Philadelphia mans face, and
clearly made him groggy. He kept away
for the rest of the round, and Abbott was
unable to follow up his advantage. From
this on the bout simmered down TO a most
skillfulfencing match between the men.
Abbott was always cool, and played
waiting game, in the hope that he could
send in lucky right, while Zieglcr kept
working away vigorously with his left,
that finally succeeded in sw cling the
Enelishman's face, while with his right
he swung a hundred times for his oppo-
ucnt's jaw, but he never succeeded in land
Ing there with any great degree OF strength
Ziegler fought the last Two rounds in the
most furious fashion, but Abbott kept him
off, and the contest ended with both OF the
men in just as good condition as when they
entered the ring.

Too Old to work Mt Ninety-s

delightful story of poorlaw admins
tration comes to me from Thirsk. At Carl
ton Husthwaite, small village in that
neighborhood, lives veteran OF ninety-six
who was al the pautle of Waterloo. For
some considerable time he has been on the
union books as recipient of outdoor re-
lief But recently great doubt arose In the
minds of the guardians why the old man did
not earn his own livelihood. SO the expense
was incurred of sending a medical officer
some miles 10 examine the nonogenarian
and report whether he was fit for work or
not. The doctor might indeed have been
more usefully employed in inquiTing into
the state of mind OF the BUNDLES who sens
him on such an srrand.-London Truth.

fourteen weeks trotting and pacing meeting
under way, is out with the statement that
during his big meeting, which begins ugust
26 and lasts until September =, he will
not permit pool selling or betting OF any
sort on his track. This move of Williams
is marked CO ntrast to that which is isusually
made by race promoters. Nearly every
where this year where pools have been
prohibited the racing people have assured
those whom they wanted TO patronize
them that notwiihsta ndiing the law there
would be ways provided by which anybody
could put up his money il he wanted to-

the big fight. A meeting was held there
on Saturday. and it was suggested that
public demonstrations be held in every city

The boxing show that Parson Davies
and Tom O'Rourke set on foot, to take
place in Boston this week, during the con-
clave OF the Knights Tempiars i'll that city,
got rather a severe setback on Friday.
II seems Davies and O'Rourke had been ad-
vertisiDg the affair as being in the hands
of the Suffolk Club, the most prominent
athletic organization in Boston. The club
has come out with a statement that il has
nothing whatever TO do with the show,
and that it's name has been used without
authority. This is the show wherein VOL

were to have appeared.
The battle between Eddie Meyer and

at Streator. Both men were used up. Boyle
had much the better OF the argument, but
