GIANTS PLAYED FAIR GAME.

Peter Mulcahey, alias the Butcher
Boy" and Silas Jones, alias the "Por-
ter both smooth-faced lads of eigh-
teen, fought last night for the cham
pionship of the Seven Corners and a
purse of SIS. In the eleventh round
the Porter failed to respond, and
the Butcher Boy" was declared the
winner The mill took place in the
second story of a big downtown
block, and was pulled off in the pres
ence of a select coterie of sports, in
Guiding business men, and fair con-
tingent Of professional base ball ex-
perts
The contest was governed by no es-
pecial rules, but was a mixture of
Queensberry, London prize ring and
catch-as-catch-can. Neither of the
boys had the remotest idea of sci
ence, but both were earnest and gave
an exhibition which was decidedly in
teresting. Both were stripped to the
waist. The Butcher Boys" limbs
were encased in pair of grey WOODEN
drawers, while the ''Porter's" costume
included blue jean overalls and yellow
hose of a murky brown. Each wore
felt shoes to deceive any suspicious
copper lurking near.
The usual three-minute rounds
were tabooed, and the boys were al
lowed to fight for the delectation of
the spectators. Out of pure COM
passion time was called at irreg-
ular intervals. The Butcher Boy"
was decidedly the cleverer, using his
left quite dexterously, but the "Por-
ter" was a veritable glutton to stand
punishment. Had he realized the
fact that he had pair of hands, he
: would have captured the champion
ship of the Seven Corners dead easy,
but instead he was simply a target
for the Butcher Boys" erratic
blows.
Up to the seventh round the fight
was tame. The Butcher Boy" ambi-
tious, and responding to the encour-
agement of his friends, then proceed
ed to rush his opponent. Like
sprinter, he chased the Porter"
around the room. occasionally land
ing on his face neck or chest. Like a
Texas steer annoyed by small boys,
the Porter" would simply shake his
head and look solemn Frequently it
would occur to him it would be proper
to smite the Butcher Boy" but this
idea was only entertained at inter-
walls. In the eighth round the "Por-
ster' acted wholly on the defensive,
and the Butcher Boy. was winded
entirely by his own exertions. At any
time during the round a stiff right
handler would have put him to sleep
The Porter" exhibited a badly
swollen wrist in the ninth, and wanted
to quit, but the crowd wouldn't have
ii. He was jollied up by the gag that
the Butcher Boy" was dead easy, so
he went C1. During that and the
tenth round, he was mauled around
the room like a cat plays with a
mouse, but the Butcher Boys" blows
were weak and practically harmless.
The Porter" however, exhibited a
yellow streak in the eleventh
round and gave it out cold that he
had enough. This ended the battle.
Ind the crowd quickly scattered.

GIANTS. PLAY GOOD BALL
They Kept the League Team
Guessing Yesterday,


Guessing Yesterday.
Although Comiskey's Stars had lit
tie difficulty in winning yesterdays
game with the Page Fence Giants.
the colored professionals put I'D
much better article of ball than in
their initial game. In fact their play
was rather surprising, inasmuch as
1t had been anticipated that the
leaguers would beat the Giants out of
sight
The score, 9 to 2, indicates that the
Giants are no novices at the national
game, to say the least. But for MANY
glaring errors, the st. Paul team
would have been compelled to exert
themselves much more than they did.
both clubs were rather light with the
stick, the Stars having a trif1e the
best of the argument. Manager
Fowler presented Wilson, a south paw
tWlrler, who was largely responsible
Tor the small number of hits made
by the Western leaguers. The col
ored artists curves were quite de-
ceptive, and completely mystified
such hard hitters as Smith, Camp and
O'Rourke, who were unable to make
even suspicion of a hit off the
yellow-hosed twirler.
Count" Mullane found Wilson just
to his liking, hitting him hard and
freely. He easily led the Ieaguers
with brace of clean-cut two-baggers
and lively single. Pickett and Van
Dyke were well in line with the wagon
tongue, each being credited with a
single and two-bagger. Berger, the
heavyweight backstop, cracked out a
lone single, keeping pace with the vet
eeran Lefty" MARI, which completed
the eight hits for which the colored
twirler was touched up. While the
clubs batting was comparatively
light, the boys stole bases like pro-
fessional sprinters.
Smith, Mullane and Pickett pilfered
bags as easily as small boy swipes
apples from a grocer'S stall.
Young Messerly, one of Comiskey's
experiments" did the bulk of the
pitching for st. Paul. During the six
innings he was in the box but one lone
