SIGNED WITH NEWPORT.
Stephenson, Former Pawtucket Player,
COrralIed by Manager Finn.

Stephenson, "a Former Pawtucket Payer,
Corralled by Manager Finn.
Manager Finn of the Newport ball team,
which will undoubtedly be in the New
England League next season, has signed
H. G. Stephenson who played with Paw
tucket in 1895 and had a batting average Of
41G and fielding average of 931, leading
the team and the league, when he termin-
ated his work.
Last year, in the Norfolk team of the
Virginia State League, he had batting
average of 1886, and stood sixthin batting.
OF those who led him two have been
signed by the National and two by the
Eastern league.
Stephenson is quiet, gentlemanly
player; is 26 years old, stands 5 feet IL
inches high, and weighs 1S0 pounds. He
is the first new man to be signed for the
team. Manager Finn has lines out for
other good players, but 1t is doubtful IL
there will be much signing in New Eng
land league clubs before the annual meet
ing in January, when the makeup OF the
league will be determined.

John L. SulIiyan's View.

New York, Dec. 4.-E,x- champion John
L. Sullivan contributed the following or
the Sharkey- Fitzsimmons fight to The
Evening World: The principal point
of interest in this fight, namely, the
question OF fouling, can only be decided
by those who were actually present. II
seems to have been, however, a case OF
fouling more or less all the way through
and I doubt whether 1t was wise for the
referee, after he had let SO much fouline
go unnoticed, to allow one solitary fou.
when the Knockout came. However un-
less the contest can be absolutely proved
a wrong one we must abide by the ref.

ENJOYMENT FOR TWO.
They Were Cougars, and the Man There
Was Anything but Happy.

A. j. johnson of Portland, q we'll
known forestry collector while on his way
back from'a visit of inspection with a. S.
Graves OF New York, one of the United
States forestry commissions experts, to
the Blue mountains, In eastern Oregon,
had an experience with two cougars at
|. Meacham that he Is not likely to forget for
some time.
He had stopped over at Grandma Ran
ra' and In the afternoon went on r. ami
Cal excursion into the neighborinc nils.
On hia return he selected the ilroad
track, which wound along tho = Jtom of
the gully, as preferable route, he track
was paralleled by stream for q good way,
and Mr.. johnson was making his way
along this section, swinging sackfuJ of
roots and thinking of various things when
he was startled to notice that he had
few feet ahead Of him In the bed of the
stream. One of them was lame, probably
tho result Of some trouble with trap, and
he and his mate trotted along slowly. They
had noticed Mr.. Johnson and apparently
were aware of the fact that no had noticed
them, for every little while they would
swish their tails in playful way over the
surface Of tho water and throw backward
glance of the eye at the lonely pedestrian
on the railroad track that suggested un-
pleasant things TO him.
1t was not exactly very comfortable
situation for an unarmed man to be in,
with two great tawny cats walking along
at his side He wanted very much to turn
around and go back and look for more
roots, but he did not exactly like to do SO
for fear his action might be misunder-
stood by his companions and cause them
to take more interest in his person than
they were then doing. The fact that they
seemed anything but plump was not reas-
surinR.
During the quarter OF mile that the
forestry collector and the cougars were in
such close ecompanionship the cougars SEEM
cd to be enjoying their walk, and Mr..
johnson was wishing that 1t was the same
with him. Finally, to his relief, they broke
off up tho hillside ut swinging trot, stop
ring every now and then to take look at
, le unsociable man back on the track. who
vas now vigorously shaking his bagful of
roots at them. Portland Oregonian.

Around the Kinks.
Salem won its first game away from
home Wednesday night.
Fall River now leads in goals scored,
while Pawtucket has lost the least number.
1t is impossible for a rusher in any rink
to make a goal from spot, starting from
the cage, in two seconds.
Swords 81 stops at Fall River Wednes-
day is the major league record OF the sea-
son, and played no small part in securing
his victory.
It is Capt. Furbush for Salem, with
Wiley away from the game. A host of
Dicks friends will wish him lots of luck
in his new position.
The losing club in the game between
Cotter's picked team and the New Bed
fords for the benefit of Dunning's family
will contribute S25 to the fund.
Menard and Pierce of Providence are old
chums. They played together in Bridge
port in 1890, and their partnership game
promises to be as effective now as 1t was in
those days.
Now spectators at polo games wonder
how the players escape being bowled over
by some of the terrific drives and flights
of the ball from one end of the rink to the
other. But the players keep their eye on
the ball as in baseball.
Salem has at last, as constituted in last
evenings game with New Bedford, polo
team which, II it cannot win all its games,
can at least give the spectators at home, or
in foreign rinks, brave battle with any
team in the league. Griffin Is not the
equal of Menard, there is no denying the
fact; but he makes better partner for
Hipson than that incompatible rusher has
had to work with before this season.

General Sporting Notes.
The Pawtucket ball club has signed
Terry Rogers, shortstop of the Bridgeport
club last season, and brother of James
Rogers of the Louisville club.
The New Bedford ball club has lost

The number of killed and wounded in
the Thanksgiving football games through

San Francisco, Dec. 4.-Three of the
most reputable citizens of this city Drs.
3. b. Lee, ID. f. Ragan and T. A. Rot
tanzi, examined Sharkey yesterday, q
press representative being present The
result was this statement from DIR. Ra-
gan, the other doctors acQuiescing:
"Sharkey has cash over the left eye
which could not have been caused by a
blow from glove, as the eye is no.;
closed; also a swelling on the left cheek
to which we applied leech this morning
The left ear is swollen from extravasa-
ton, or blood settling under the surface
There Is not bruise or a mark on the
upper part OF the body, save a slight
abrasion OF the skin, caused by contact
with the ropes in the fifth round, and
which is of no consequence whatever.
This is what caused the damage" and
here Snarkey was stripped and the ply
sician pointed to huge swelling on the
lower part Of the body, near the groin
There was discoloration in one spot,
showing where the blow had landed
This, Sharkey said, was caused by Fitz-
simmons hooking him with his elbow"
DR.. Ragan explained the swelling was
the same as in the ear, caused by ex-
travasation, and would require leeches
tv subdue. There is no t6rnia and nc
permanent injury, but the doctors were
unanimous in the belief that Sharkey
could never have entered the ring OF
stood on his feet had he been in his pres
ent condition. 1t will be several days be-
fore Sharkey can leave his bed.

Birds Eye View Of S'rrting Events In All
Parts OF the C0ua.ry Of Interest
To Tribune Readers

The management of the Scranton team
OF the Eastern League is negotiating for
the services of John F. smith, manager OF
the Pawtucket ball te I'm, and 1t would not
be surprising IL terms were satisfactorily
arranged within short time. Manager
Smith informs the spo. Ting department OF
the TRIBUNE that he has had the offer
under consideration since the close OF the
baseball season and hopes for favorable
consideration on the part of the local base
ball management.
Scranton was badly mismanaged team
the past season and that fact accounts for
the poor showing made by the coal barons.
Manager Mike McLermott, who was with
Bangor the latter part Of the season,
managed Scranton until the middle of
July, and for the lemainder of the season
two or three manas ers took hand at the
head of affairs.
The franchise OF the Scranton team is
controlled by a syndicate of well-to-do
business men and the coming season they
intend to have winner for Scranton.
Their liberality was shown during the sea-
son when they spared no money or effort
to get the best players obtainable, but with
poor management the team made bad
showing.
Manager Smith is at his home in Bristol,
Pa, where he is i'm the cigar business and
hopes to have the matter of whether or not
he will be with Pawtucket next season
settled within week
New Bedford o, Providence 3.
The Whalers fook the lead in the polo
procession last night by defeating the
Grays at New Bedford The Providence
rushers drave the ball fearfully wild, while
Doe and Roberts were very accurate, and
the way in which they piled up goals in
the last part of the game made the big
crowd of enthusiasts happy. Roberts hit
for the net with great accurateness, get
ting seven of the nine goals that went to
the credit of his side. McPeck tried to
hustle Williams and Conway and got him
self in heap of truble. Menard did not
get in the game very much. He played
centre to gradually work himself in shape.
