middleweight and fought at from 143 TO
15i pounds After he defeated Aaron
Jones he had to give all his opponents
from 10 TO 20 pounds, and in his 10 bat
ties he was only once defeated, and then
by Nat Langham, a middleweight. When
Sayers fought Bill Perry, the latter was 2s
pounds heavier than Sayers and several
inches taller, and just as clever. Saycrs
weighed $50 pounds, Perry 17S pounds.
Perry was backed heavily on the differ
ence in weight, but Sayers won I'm hour

saloon was at Riverside, when the defend
ant fired pistol and the ball went so
close towitness' head that the noise seemed
10 him as If he had stepped on shell. On
looking around Mr.. Fournier claimed he
saw Baker and said, Come on, Baker
have you got any more shots in that re-
volyer. Baker said nothing in reply.
Witness denied that he had ever been ON
bad terms with the man that shot at him
but said one night before the shooting he
called Baker by his Canadian name and
asked him If he was ashamed of being
French.
On cross examination Fournier said he
had been hotel keeper in East Proyi-
dence until hotel licenses were refused
and never knew that Mr.. Baker opposed

FUTURE OF PUGILISM.
Is II Possible 10 Elevate the Manly
Arl?
Friends OF Prizefightlng Resent Cur
rent Attacks Upon the Sport.

Sports, like people, are judged by their
associations. There Is strong element
among college athletes which would like 10
see scientific boxing placed upon an equal
plane with football as n gentlemanly sport,
but the recent defeat Of the skillful Cor
bett by the powerful Fitzsimmons and the
fatalities attendant upon several minor
boxing bouts are not conducive TO the ele-
vation of the ring There Is n certain
ghastliness about tho heart blow which
Fitzsimmons gave Corhett, and IL was pre-
cisely the same sort Of knock which killed
"Sailor Kid" and Edward Gibbons and
Christian Kellneker. In the face of these
disasters, however, the admirers OF pugil-
ism claim that football Is a bloodier game
and that baseball Is equally dangerous TO
limb, If not TO life. To show that other
sports are judged by their associations, the
friends Of pugilism point 20 the fact that
cockfighting Is in general disrepute, while
tho killing and manning Of pigeons are
deemed 10 be pleasures worthy of gentle
men.
Many people would like 10 find among
college students some Moses who would
deliver the manly art out of its present
bondage TO what Is mercenary and disrcp-
utable. No such deliyerer is In sight, how
ever, for up to the present time all the
talking is being done by and about the
same old crowd. Thomas Sharkey is a
conspicuous leader in eloquence, but he
has the record OF being hard hitter, and
1t was hard hit rather than so called sci
ence that caused the recent transfer of the
championship at Carson City. Charley
Mitchell declares himself ready to receive
any blows that Fitzsimmons may have 10
give, but the poor showing made by Mitch
ell in his meeting with Corbett does not
inspire confidence In his chance of success.
The two Peters Maher and Jackson-are
not so well understood as Corbett and
Mitchell, and as they have strong physical
foundations 10 build on suitable training
would make them formidable adversaries
Of the great Australian, who now owns
the earth.

cent years shows the Importance of skill

ON THE TRACK.
Train Stopped Just in Time 10
Save Booths Life.
Al First 1t Looked Like a Case OF At
tempted Suicide.

Engineer Pitts on the 9;45 o'clock in
coming train from Auburn this morning
saw the body of man lying on the rails
near the Reservoir avenue bridge, and at
once reversed the lever of his engine and
succeeded in bringing the train To "a stand
still before the form of the man was
reached.
The conductor of the train found that
the man was sill alive and called upon
Frank Carver, who was crossing tho
bridge, To summon an ambulance. The
injured man was taken 60 tho Rhode
Island Hospital, and from papers in his
possession it was found that his name
was Lloyd Booth, and that his home was
at 20 & street.
His wife was notified OF her husbands
condition and she went To tho hospital
IL is not known yet whether il was a
case of attempted suicide or accident. At
. % clock this morning Mr.. Booth left his
home, telling his wife he was going out
in search Of work. He was gone about
two hours when he returned, and after
eating his breakfast started out again,
this time telling his wife that IL he did
not succeed In getting work i'm the city
he would 90 out into the country, and this
may have been his intention. Another
reason why his friends think he met with
an accident is that he has been troubled
for some time with rheumatism in his
right leg. and unless he stepped on his
foot squarely it would give way His
wife believes that the rheumatism caused
him 10 fall.
At first the officials of the hospital had
but little hope Of his recovery, but at 3
O'Clock this afternoon he had recovered
consciousness and was able To recognize
those about him. Mr. Booth is well
known TO the colored population of this
city, for he, with his father, when
living, were among the best known team
sters in the city.
