To Make Good Showing Against Fitz. Next
Month
New York, June 2S.-John l.. Sui
Ivan is working like beaver
at Muldoon's retreat near White
Plains, so that he may make
good showing in the six-round
bout with Fitzsimmons on July ..
Nobody expects him to get into the
best of trim on such short notice, but
the indications are that he will be able
to give the champion a good argument
for six rounds.
An Evening World reporter, who
has seen Sullivan at Muldoon's, says
of the old-time fighter, that he looks
good, far better than when he returned
from England, nine years ago, and be-
gan to train for his fight with Kilrain.
Then his flesh was flabby and his eyes
were dull. Now his eyes are bright and
clear as your own. They could not
be better. His skin is clean, healthy
pink and white, like the skin of a
boy. Though he weighs $50 pounds,
the flesh is of different quality from
that which he carried in 1888. He is
not flabby. He has not drank alcoholic
liquors since last October.
Sullivan, according to this writer,
has only two blows, chopping left
and a right that is shot at you like a
cannon ball or swung like a club"

| we'll and LYONS. were occupied with
other thoughts yesterday afternoon,
and il was not until Fort Wayne had
virtually won, that they awoke to a
realization of the fact that they were
playing ball.
The Deacon was on the rubber, and
he pitched mechanically, mixing EN-
ND from force of habit. He should have
won his game. The errors behind him
were fnexcusable, and were directly re-
sponsible for Wheeling's defeat
In the first inning a tumble by Lyons
gave Campbell life, and McKevitt
cracked out single which scored
Fitch. In the fifth inning, with one
man out and Fitch on second, Robin
son allowed Campbell's hit to get past
him. and Fitch scored. Then Mckevitt
sent a fly out to Sistersville Billy
Campbell. and he muffed it. kim
singled. and Campbell scored. Sharp
few out and the side should have been
retired. but Babb walked for the third
consecutive time and Herr made a
lucky single over second, which brought
in TWO more runs. In the next inning
Fitch led off with a double, and should
have remained on second, but O'Brien
fell down on an easy chance to retire
OMeara, and Taylor allowed hit by
Campbell to get through his legs. kim
singled. and the net result was three
unearned runs. In the eighth Mckevitt
singled and Sharp walked, and both
scored on a two-bagger by Babb.
Wheeling made the finish very exc.t-
ing. With the score s to l against
them. the home players struck a bat
ting streak, and piled up six runs.
Hallowen was retired on an infield fly.
O'Brien waited and walked. Campbell
famed. An error by Kihm gave Tay-
lor a life. and Lyons double brought
in two runs. loft walked. Coyle
singled, scoring Lyons. Roolnson Sent
out a two-bager. scoring Coyle. loft
and Robinsan were brought in on
single by McGinniss. HalIowell retired
the side by making his second out
in the inning.
Three runs were NEEDED to tie in the
ninth and Wheeling made two. O'Brien
died at first. Campbell doubled back OF
second. and scored on Taylor's two
Dagger. Lyons went down on an easy
fly to Sharp. loft singled and the Fort
WAYNE players started throwing the ball
around. allowing Taylor to score and
loft to reach third Coyle was not
equal to the emergency, and his fly to
left field dropped into OMeara's bas-
ket

They differ geologicaily from those

very thorough map and description Of
the region in which the richest deposits
have been discovered. 1t is found that
the gold is Of volcanic origin. having
been fuses in the earth and thrown up
In the o~utbursts of lava, The volcano
which vented the gold. lava and melted
rock belonged to the tertiary period.
The gold as found is usually mixed
with the mineral known as telluride.
Occasionally some is found pprea doubt
less left after the decay Of the telluride.
The telluride is found Embedded in
quartz and a beautiful crystal which is
called at Cripple Greek purple quartz,
but which biologists class as fiuorspar,
o mineral containing lime. while quartz
is of the nature of o sand Oh flint stone.
Along tho cracks of the rocks the gold
bearing ore rests, and it may be found
almost anywhere in these assures.
Biologists find that the formations AT
Cripple Creek are of comparatively re-
cent date-not more than a few million
years old, that la. The character of the
soil and minerals is of intense interest
to scientists quite apart from the inter
est they have for the mere grabbers.
Nearly 81, 900, 900 in gold has already
been taken from the Cripple Creek
mines, and there is no sign of their
giving out.

track association of Michigan. 1t has
one of the best tracks i'm the state and
is under able management. Each year
IL gives two or more meetings, the pur-
SEES being larger than are hung up by
any other half-mile track association
in the state. Its next meeting will be
held August IL to 20, and Splendid
card of events will be found in this
issue. For the free-for-all trot or pace
a purse of $400 is offered, and class to
