unusually strong set of league tenpin games
upon the alleys o: Carroll Institute, in
which the home team ind the Young Mems
Catholic Club We're the contestants.
The Institute players Won both games in
good style ard their bowling was OF he
star order, as an o,d bowler would say.
The first game was won by 4 margin of
112 and the second by 80 pins.
The winners were i'll particularly fine
form and strikes aud difficult spares were
the rule. Schultes of this team led the
evening with n 19l game, and Whelan
close second with 1SS.
The Y. NJ. c. C. team, usually very
strong on the Institute alleys, last night
had bad off night and lots of hard luck
with 1t. Kennedy led with ITS for his
best single game, aud LaGsdale next with
III. O'CoDnor, usually invincible, was en-
tirely off last night and made unusually

Great Excitement Over the Discovery
in Pennsylvania Village.
Carlisle, Pa, March THE water in
two cistcrns at Greason, village four
miles from this city, has been poisoned. The
discovery was made yesterday and Gre
atcd a great deal of excitement.
William Kissinger went to his cistern
to get some water and happened to notice
a green substance in the water that fell on
the boards of the pump bed. He made an
investigation and found that it was a
deadly poison. The quantity used, he thinks,
was not less than two pounds.
Theodore Goctihard, residing in the same
place, found the water OF his cistern full
of the deadly poison. 1t is not known who
the perpetrators are.

BoB.s ACTION IN THE RING.

While standing in the ring, Immediately
after he defeated Maher in Mexico, Fitz
announced TO the spectatorsthath he wasopen
tomcet any man in the world. Every news
paper in the land printed his statement.
The next day he took it all back, and said
he would not meet Corbctt until he had
got a rcputation.-New York Recorder.
FitZ did nothing of the kind. He made no
speech after whipping Maher in Mexico.
As soon as FitzsimmOns' gloves were
taken off he ri shed over to Maher, where he
sat only half conscious in his chair, grasped
him by the hand and thumped him on the
back in Il friendly way. saying: Get up,
Peter, you are all right Come, Peter,
Get upi' Meanwhile Martin Julian ad-
dressed the crowd, sa yinG that Fitzsimmons
had worked his way up from the bottom
TO the very top, and now that he had wen
the championship would defend it against
all comcrs.

u-I1AN WAS CAUTJOJrs.

However, even Julian. in the fullness Of
his great joy. did not say that FitZsimmons
would keep right on in training and fight
aspirants for fame as fast as they came to
light, without taking a rest or once going
out of training.
Fitzsimmons, before the fight, said that
Corbett would have to demonstrate his
sincerity by fighting and whipping some
good man before he (Fitz) would meet
him. He repeated this statement after the
fight and has stuck to it dOggedly ever
since. The unfortunate part OF the whole
business is that Fitzsimmons did not pur-
sue a different policy. Had he offered to
fight Corbett one month after the date OF
the Fitzsimmons-Mabcr fight, it would
have been Corbett instead of Fitzsimmons
now demanding postponement for one
year.

The New York Evening Telegram puts it
this way: When Peter Jackson wanted to
fight Corbett the ex-cbampion invited the
black man to go down South. Jackson sad
il would be impossible, owing TO race preiu-
dice, and sugg ested that England would be
a good place, but Corbett said he would
never fight there, and proceeded TO abuse
the National Sporting Club Officials.
Now the mighty Corbett is down on his
knees to the Englishmen, beg ging for a
purse and agreeing TO apologize. That's
a humiliating attitude for a supposed ciam-
pion. However, let CCrbett persevere. and
probably the National Sporting Club will
offer a purse for Mahcr and Corbett. for
Maher is the man Corbett must fight before
meeting Fiizsimmons. Corbett has fire.
queDtly said he would be willing TO meet
half Il dozen men, one after the other. ard
this offers a final chance 10 the National
Sporting Club. Arrange to have Corbett
box Maher, Hall, ChoyDsHi, Slayin and
Creedon in succession. Then "Gentlcman
jim" providing he whips them all, will be
justified in aDOlocizing TO FitZsimmons ard
requesting a match.
