fort so plainly impregnable that the foe
will pass it by. Just as Mr. Wilkins and
his regiment got the oornice on their forti-

question was, Would they ro-enlists"
The colonel presided and called for re-
marks All hung back. At last Mr.. Will

like corn silk and u laughing eye. stepped
forward. Like Pizzaro on similar oc-
casion, when settling all things Peruvian,
Mr. wilkins drew his shovel and marked
line in the sand. Comrades, +" shouted
Mr. Wilkins, while his eye flashed like

Carried away by his example, the entire

FAILED TO SETTLE 1T.
Sunday Prize Fight to Decide Poker
Game.

Sunday Prize Fight TO Decide Poker
Game.
There WAS an attempt to settle a dis
pute over poker game made by a fight
with bare knuckles on the Eaton street
lots near Centerdale in the Sixth police
district. The two fellows who had
trouble over the game, which was played
some time ago, were Jack McQueeney
and Jack Scott, and as they had con-
siderable reputation among their chums
for clever fist work = there was little
trouble in making the fight far more
have proved. Ii is-not the custom of two
the principals OF yesterdays fight to play
for very large stakes, and the money from
yesterdays game, IL the tickets are all
accounted for, will be about $50.
Both the men are very young, Scott be-
ing only Island McQueeey only year his
senior. The battle was a cruel one, as
the ground on which the men fell many
times was harsher than the mems feel
ings toward each other. What the out
come OF the battle might have been it is
hard to say, bat the terrific manner in
which the men fought caused their
friends, who were afraid of the fighters
being Killed by the heat and blows in
sist that the police were on the way to
the grounds alter both. scott ana Nc
Queeney had punished each other for
about 40 minutes. Both men stripped
to the waist.
The number of rounds that the men
fought was IL and then even the most
blood-loving Of the gang got sick OF 1t.
Scott led the fight at the start but Nc
Queeny got back at him constantly and
both men showed up about equally well
during the fight. The referee who was a
North End scrapper, knew his business
and declared the fight draw.
Some of the crowd knew better than to
be caught at a sunday fight and when
they had sized up the fact that both
men were "stayers" they decided that
the police would probably catch on before
the thing was over and left the field
early.
Even when friends of both Scott and
McQueeny insisted on the fight being
stopped the two fighters wanted to &C
on with it but contrary to the wishes oi
the latter the dispute about cards re-
NAMED unsettled.
The cuts on the upper parts OF the
mems bodies were dressed and they were
induced TO sleep until after dark wher al
hands reached home undisturbed blythe
officers of the law. The work of the two
baptems was almost the sole topic oi
conversation in certain parts of Federal
Hill and Olneyvllle.

Ing conscientious practice work daily, Is as
right and fit as his countrymen could wish
him to be.
Standing o feet II inches Ia his stockings,
clean bulls and sturdy, his very appearance
inspires confidence In him. In this coup-
try he has carried all before him, and last
year he achieved his crowning victory and
won the amateur championship Of Amer
ioa from field OF the best scullers at Sara
toga.
His record Is remarkable one, his best
performance being at the northwestern re-
gatta, when he broke the worlds record
for one mile and half In the phenomenal
time of 9:41. The course at Henley Is
mile 800 yards, and a comparative estimate
of the times made in recent years points to
everything in favor Of Mcdowell being the
first to catch the judges eyes In the final
heat.
