Local sporting blood is at the boiling
point today because the Wilson siddons
fistic encounter, otherwise known as the
prize fight, which was scheduled to be
pulled Off at jackson City'last night, did
not take place.
If Gov. o'Ferrali, who ordered Sheriff
Palmer 10 prevent tile match, depended for
support upon this element, he couldn't
muster a corporars guard. The sports this
morning are denouncing tile Virginia ex-
ecutive in scatbipg terms. They don't
blame Sheriff Palmer .soiIpuch, 'ibeeause
lie couldn't help ii"
WERE HUNGRY FORA FIGHT.
The boys have not witnessed a bout in
this vicinity for some time, and they had
fired themselves with great enthusiasm for
brilliant display of pueilism.
Wilson is a colored man, and has local
reputation as u slusger and an even match
for any man of his class. There is mucl;
money in town that Is ready to back him
against Siddons, who is Il New Yorker and
an all round athlete. Consequently the sport
ing fraternity is in su!ky mood today after
their hopes have been dashed. Many how
ever, declare that the match is bound to
come off yet.
| There is much talk of quietly slipping
! off to the famous due.ing ground at Bla-
| densburg tomorrow night and pitching the
| ring there Word has been passed around
| among those on the inside that this
| will be done, and preparations are today
being made looking toward that end.
Siddons, who is Willing away the hours
haf ba the Hotel |
is apparently the most unconccrned man
| among them.
sIDDoNS WAS NOT ANXIOUS.
II wasn't especially anxious to have
the fight come off last night said he this
morning The purse OF $500 was too
small
II haven't any doubt but that can dc
| Wilson, though l understand he is a tough
customer He wasn't in any condition to
| fight last night, for in an houi and twenty y
minutes he took off seven pounds. Nc
man can ever do that u few hours before
fight and be in any condition. i know
l could have whipped him. / don't like
to fight a colored man, and once swore
never would do SO. This fight / was
drawn Into without knowing who my op-
ponent would be, and 1 didn't know the
man or where the mill was to take place
until it was too late to back down.
Now want to meet lin. and Will stay
here until / do. They have promised TO
raise the purse to S400, if the fight can
come off tomorrow night. That Will make
It little better. This postpopement has
| interfered with my. plans. ! had expected
| to be second in the o'Brien Quinn fight at
| Coney Island tonight but / guess that is
called off, too. The sports are in hard
! luck lately"

OF INTEREST TO wHEELMEN.

If Bald and Cooper were travelling on e
running horse circuit these days they would
be ruled off the track for in and out run
ming. Surely these two men must be pretty
evenly matched when they win and lose to
each other day after day. Bald had the
satisfaction OF winning a majority of the
races in Cooper's native State, but it must
have been worth good deal to the latter
to capture that open race on Saturday. The
last season does not seem, to have deyei-
oped any rider who is in the class of these
two riders Even Wally Sanger, fast as
he is, is only able to capture a piece of the
money now and then.
The bicycle will shortly make its appear
ance in the German capital as public
vehicle. An application has been made to
the municipal council for permission to
place 1,200 tricycles In the streets for
hire. The machines will all be painted a
single color, sort of drab gray, and will
be provided with a receptacle capable of
holding small parcels. In wet weather the
man who lets them will provide water
proof mantle for the use of his customers
The tariff has been fixed at 0 pfennigs for
the first quarter of an hour, and pfennigs
for every succeeding fifteen minutes. In
the night from 1 to 4 O'Clock the tariff
will be o pfennigs for every ten minutes.

far as holding stakes are concerned.
like boxing match, but don't want to
participate in it. 1 will content myself
simply as spectator"
When asked what he thought of Cor
belts essay against Sharkey, he said:
From the reports, Sbarkey must have given
Jim good fight. But it's>so far away that
you cannot tell. My confidence in Jim
remains mistaken, and will back him any
time he wants to. Sharkey is u strong
fellow, and the Introduction OF new heavy
weights helps the game in many ways. OF
course, can tell better what Sharkey can
do when he Comes East, and we can then
get a line on him.

the Senators are dissatisfied. They want a
man, who, SO j. Earl Wagner says, can
hit well, throw cleanly, stop grounders,

| where can such a paragon be obtained:-
| Chicago News.
Adonis Terry, the Colts pitcher, has
| faith in the firing process for lame arm.
He cites the case of Rudderham, the pitcher
| of the Providence team, the muscles Of
| whose pitching arm were fired by a Provi-

| is the remedy that the managers as rule
/ apply to a dead arm.
Arson had only two putouts in Sundays

An analysis of the playing shows that the
WOTk was pretty wen ulNlueu UP diuoDS

KILLING OF CROOK.
Homicide Described by Number of
e-witnesseS.


Upper Marlboro, Nd, July 22-The tes-
timony of the witness, Thomas Grimes, who
testified that he saw Richard King strike
James Crook on the head on the 4th of July
with a club, from which wound Crook died.
was corroborated by the two Robey men,
who were present at the fraeas, yesterday
morning before Justice James Harris.
John Robey told the squire at the hear
ing that he went to King house with King
and his brother, old man. Crook and his SOFA
George Crook, on the 4th of July, and after
King had his wrestling bout with young
Crook, and being thrown, he became angry,
when old man Crook started toward King
and King grabbed a long cart standard,
knocking Tim down, and not hitting asquare
blow on account of Kings brother, Arthur
and that while King was lying on the ground
he got another cart standard, which wag
smaller, and dealt him a blow on the head.
Crook was lying flat on bis back on the
ground.
The witness then told how Crook waR
washed off and put on pallet and taken
to the house where he died; that Crook was
unconscious on the next morning when ha
and his brother, Hubert Robey, left for their
home, in Charles county. Hubert Robey, a
brother of John Robey, corroborated his
brothers testimony, and stated that Arthur
King came to their home in Charles county,l
his brother being away at the time, and told
him that he and his brother must say that
old man Crock fell and struck his head
against the cart-tongue, and that would
fix matters so that Richard King would be
released from the custody Of the sheriff, as
Grimes was the only witness against them
Upon Mr.. Robey refusing to do this King
intimated that he and his brother, Richard,
