. THE DIAMOND AND TRACK Montgomery Gives Atlanta a
 Sound Drubbing, MOBILE IS SLAUGHTERED Some Surprises in the National League-lhe Cards at Saratoga and Brighton
 Beach Scratched.

Montgomery July 31.-(Special)-A right good drubbing was that given the Atlantas in the final Montgomery-At- lanta game this afternoon. Both teams broke even winning one each and playing a tie in one.
 The tale of the game is found in the base hit column of the Colts Norton was an easy thing. Every one of the Colts hit him, and some of them three or four times. Doubles were common. On the other hand, the Atlantas made only four safes off King" Bailey, a magnificent showing. In the seventh and eighth the locals did the major part of their slugging. Errors were numerous on both sides, as that column will show in the official score. Bailey's home run was the largest ball possibly ever knocked on the grounds here. Only eight innings were played on account of dark

The Gloves at Montgomery.

Montgomery, July 31.-(Special) Three very interesting bouts were Wit messed at the rooms of the Montgomery Athletic club last night by large crowd of citizens.
 The event of the evening was six round contest between s. Joe Ullman, the instructor of the gymnasium, and William Kennedy a local light weight. Although it was only for points, the bout was quick, clever and spicy. From the beginning Ullman showed superior con- diton and ability and won without any trouble.
 The first and third events were highly amusing and afforded the spectators con- sidera ble amusement.
 After the conclusion of the entertain ment MT. Ullman announced that on next Tuesday evening there would be a con- test open only to members of the club, and that there would in all likelihood be six bouts. The public will have the same opportunity of witnessing this as they have the other entertainments given by the club.
 Instructor Ullman of the club has offer ed a beautiful solid gold medal costing $50. to the best lightweight boxer in the club. The medal will be contended for on Tuesday evening, August 6. The entries so far are Messrs. Sidney Well, Harry Kahn, Charles Anderson, Robert Schley, George Loeb and Theo Thornton. The club is trying to arrange for ten round exhibition of scientific boxing, to take place in the near future between Mike Callahan of this city and Eugene McElroy of Birmingham and another be- tween Joe Uullman of the club and John- nie Collins of Birmingham. If the at- fractions are secured they will be worth seeing.

THE RACES.

Brighton Beach Race Track, July 31-- The bad condition of the track here to- day, caused by yesterdays rainstorm. made horse owners use the blue pencil freely, and many of the events were ruined in consequence. Fully 4000 per sons were in attendance, and the packers of favertes suffered severe loss, as only two first choices won. Most of the other winners were long shots, and passed under the wires easy winners.

Defender Beats vigilant Again


 Newport R. l., July 31.-Once again the Defender has scored victory over the igilant, and while the latter was some what handicapped by a. foot rent in her
 mainsail, that would not atone for the
 twelve minutes beating which the latest
 Herreshoff creation gave to the cup de-
 fender of 1893.
 In the forty mile run from New London
 here the new boat made ample amends for her failure to win yesterday, and even the croakers who say she is not doing as well as she should ceased their croak- ing, and apprehension in regard to the America'S cup was put at rest for the day at least.
 The regatta committee talked with MT, Tslin tonight about having the Defender officially measured and giving out the re- suits tomorrow. They also considered the protest of the Vigilant in the race of July g, and will announce their decision to- morrow.
 After finishing all the Yachts anchored inside the harbor except the Defender, whose deep draught made 1t safer for her outside Goat island. There has not seldom been a thicker forest of masts in the harbor than was the case this afternoon and the spectacle when all was lighted up this evening was one that will long be remembered here. The fleet will remain a anchor tomorrow, and there will be much entertaining ashore and sociality af1oat One of the grea test races for the year for that of the Goelet cup will be sailed tomorrow. Jubilee, Vigilant and Defen- der will then come together, and the Me- teor will probably start

 Clay Down."

The Fight Was Tame Connelly's Cowardly
 Clay Down."
 Boston, July 31.-George Dixon, cham pion feather weight of the world. won another victory this evening at Union Park hall, this city, by defeating Tommy Connolly, eX-champion amateur feather weight of America, in the fourth round. It was the most disa apointing fight that has taken place in Boston for years. Dixon clearly showed his superiority over Connolly while the fight lasted
 In the fourth round both men clinched and Connolly suddenly went to the floor, apparently knocked out, but not from blow He lay there until the referee had counted nine seconds, when his trainer entered the ring and picked him up Connolly was as fresh as when he en- tered the ring. As soon as Referee Bill Daly announced Dixon as the winner Connolly approa ched the ropes unas- sisted and said: T am not licked, and will fight Dixon any time."
 From appearances it was clear to the spectators that he d6l not care to go on with the fight and laid down to avoid being knocked out
 During the first round Dixon kept punching his opponents ribs and stom- ach and rushed matters generally. Con nelly got in but one blow on Dixon's face
 In heseoond and third rounds Dixon resorted to the same tactics, following his man about the ring and punching him when and where he pleased
 Connolly got in a left hand upper cut and right swing on the jaw in the third round. At the close of both of these rounds Connolly sought to avoid Dixon's rushes by running about the ring.
 In the fourth round the men were fight ing about one minute, when they clinched and Connolly fell, apparently knocked out.

They have, i'll nearly every instance, been so pronounced by the best and most experienced home physicians, who have no interest whatever in mis- strongly prejudiced and advised against but who have been forced to confess that fatal inalady, all other medicines with liver oil and its filthy "emulsions" and mixtures, had been tried ill nearly all these cases and had either utterly failed to bene- fit, or had only seemed to benefit little for short time.
