IN TWENTY-FOUR ROUNDS
Montgomery Defeated Brown in a
Fight at Warwick.


Fight at Warwick.
Bob Montgomery and Merwin Brown.
both colored, have been prevented several
times by the police of Watertown
Waltham and Lexington from coming
together, during the past two weeks
They met yesterday afternoon at Warwick
and Montgomery won in "a rouads.
The ring, a crude one, was pitched in
an old barn in an out. of f-the-way part of
the town. 1t has been used several times
for similar bouts.
The spectators. about rs, came from
Boston. Waltham, Lexington, Watertown.
Cambridge and Brighton. They met in
Boston early yesterday morning and were
told how to reach the barn. They went to
Providence by train, and from there to
the barn by different routes in carriages.
1t was o'clock when the last OF the
sports arrived and a quarter of ali hour
later the fighters stopped into the ring.
A we'll known Boston sport acted as
referee. and four ounce gloves were used.
Blown was the favorite, and consider
able money was wagered on the way TO
tho barn and at the rlngside. AS both
men arc hurricane fighters the affair was
not expected to last more than five or six
rounds. but the pusilists surprised all by
starting cautiously.
For twelve rounds they fought very
tamely, and as it was then quite dark
lamps and lanterns were lighted. The
referee then told them that they must do
more work or he would stop the contest.
This seemed to spur them on, aud from
that time until the finish it was as hot a
bout as any interested in the sport would
care to see.
Montgomery showed more cleverness,
but his opponent proved a tough Gus
toner. Up to the Goth round it was iiu-
possible to pick winner. although Mont
gomery landed tho more blows. In the
21st round the punching that Montgom-
cry gave Brown on the body and head
began to show its effects. and about IL
seconds before the close OF tho round
Montgomery sent Brown TO the floor with
time saved Brown. He was sprung"
when he went to his corner. but liquor
braced him up for a couple of minutes,
and he fought back we'll He was pretty
weak when he went to his corner and
again his seconds gave him drink of
brandy and he returned to the bat let in
the 23d round seemingly strong, out the
bracing effects OF the liquor was punched
out of him in n couple OF minutes, but he
stayed the round out
In tho cath and last round Montgomery
started into finish the job but Brown
mixed it with him pretty hard for half
minute and to tho spectators Mont
gomery appeared to be firing. A left
swing in the wind again made Brown
groggy. Montgomery followed up his
advantage with right on the jaw that
sent Brown to the floor apparently out
Aitcr the timekeeper had counted eight

The referee saw that Brown, even IL he
could get on his feet before 10 seconds,
which was doubtful. would have been
knocked out in the next punch, and de-
clared Montgomery the winner and saved
Brown going into dreamland. The
lighters and sports left the barn In quick
order and reached Providence in time to
catch train for Boston.

THE STRONG FOOTBALL TEAMS

THE STRONG FOOTBALL TEAMS.
The many ups and downss,.that have
characterized the work of the football
teams oontesting for Intercollegiate honors
during the past week make prophecies of
the outcome OF the season seem even
more dangerous than was the case a short
time back.
The eleven representing tie University
OF Pennsylvania is the only one that ~
been consistent in its scores anu they have
been remarkably large ones. The exper-
fence of former years would indicate that
comparative scores are OF little use in
estimating the ability OF team, but
when. in these days OF good football In
the mailer colleges, team can pile up
the scores that Pennsylvania has, and
keeps her goal line out of danger Gs she
has in all except one instance. thst team
must be playing good football. The great
uncer tainty in any estimate OF the
Quakers lies in the fact that they gen
orally play thoir practice games with
colleges which do not meet tho other big
teams but the Philad elphians decisive
victory over Lafayette sosms to indi cate
ability to beat strong teams.
Princeton. after riyaling the Quakers
in running up large scores. ana succeed
ing even better in not being scored
against, had to be content on Saturday
with hard won 10 points from Cornell,
the latter surprising many by her excel
lent showing. Harvard, so far, has held
the middle course. and though having q
sufficiently good defense to keep her op-
poDcnts from scoring, has not herself, as
q general thing, piled up many points.

Washington, May 12.-Secretary Sher-

President today so that comparatively few
of his other callers had an opportunity to
see him. The contest for the Swiss
mission, according to the prevailing
White House gossip, is said to lie between

protracted fight for United States Senator

who ultimately was compelled to give
way in the interest of harmony, has been

position. DR.. Hunter, however, has not
yet decided whether he desires position.

asked in his behalf, has beer promised.

THEIR AIMS MUTUAL.
Austrian Premier Says Els Country and
Russia Are Entirely Unselfish.

Buda Pest, May 12.-In the lower house
of the Hungarian Parliament today,
Baron Banffy, the premier, replying to
interpretations with respect to the recent
visit of the Emperor Francis Joseph to
St. Petersburg, said:
"Austria Hungary position toward
her allies is unchanged. The Triple Ali
ance is not one of those short lived politi-
cal combinations which can easily be re-
placed by other arrangements. The
triple alliance constitutes the unchange-
able basis of Austria S foreign policy. II
is absolutely peaceful and, therefore, al
lows its members to enter into friendly
agreements with other powers.
Russia, like Austria Hungary, has de-
clared that she is not pursuing selfish
ends in the East, but that she has as her
only aims, the maintenance of order, Sc
curity and the preservation of the status
quo. In the light Of these facts 1 declare
positively that Austria Hungary and
Russia have identical and harmonious
aims in their eastern policies; and the
visit of the Emperor to St. Petersburg
has doubtless helped to foster and to
strengthen the good relations existing be-
tween the two countries.

Hitch in Postal Congress.

Washington, May 12-Something of a
hitch in the preliminary proceedings of
the Universal Postal congress has been
encountered owing to the discomfort
with the organization of the committees,
and it was said today that the majority
reports of the three committees would be
strongly opposed in the congress. The
opposition is based on the contention that
the organization and the committee does
not represent the general sentiment of the
congress. The South American delegates,
it is said, feel that they are not recog-
nized and it was limited today that the
votes of the IS delegates from South and
Central America might be thrown solid
ly against the majority committee reports
on all vital questions.
