700, 00O spent by the American people
to see and hear about brutal fight to
thu finish between two hum AN beings!
s., 700, 900 squandered, with no laudd-
BIZ purpose in view!
The fight las ed just ffty-three and a
half minutes, including all intermiS-
SiOns. That means that it cost the
people of the United States $50, 457.29
minute.
There are 10000 unemployed men in
New York at The present time who are
wi ling to work
The money spent on this fight would
give ea,h one of them employment for
a mon b al 81 a day.
1t would buy each one of them three
1t would give each one of their fami-
lies 81 worth of food day for a mouth.
1t would keep 900 600 families, twice
the entire population of Greater New
York, in fuel for a month at SO fam
lily.
1t would pay the house rent for 270,-
600 familie s for a mouth at S10aach.
1t would pay the gas bills of ,25O 900
families for month at 81
Reckoning six persons to family, it
would pay the total gas bills of the
states of New York and Minnesota at
the same rate.
The money spent on that fifty-three
and half minutes fight would found
ard endow great university. It would
establish a tlf dozen great hospitals.
1t would found and maintain twenty
seven influential M trOpol tan churches.
1t would build and eDdow as great an
art gallery as any in the country. 1t
would bu Id fifty theatres or establish
a great pub ic Iark. 1t would capital
ize nine banks like the Sc ond National
of New York City.
Is
The fact is that 81, 100000 would do any
number of good things, none OF which,
unfortunately this particular 81, 700, 600
did.

In round numbers the total expepd-
iture of money in the United States
brought about by the cham n Onship
fight between james Corb.tt and Rob-
ert Fitzsimmons, at Carson City, Nv,
March 18th, was 81, 100000, appor-
toned, according to careful estimates
as follows:
Paid to telegraph companies
for ticker and special wire
service, newspaper aod PRIV
ate dispatches. 81 300, 900
Railroad fares. sleep ng-car
service and minor expend-
lures incidental to travel. 700, 900
Admission to arena, average
cost SzO 81 UOO
COmmiss ions of booksellers. 20 900
Privileges at arena. 10000
Cost of arena. Observation-Disclosures. 10000
Extra cost to newspapers to
furnish news aside from tel
egraph tolls. .......... 800, 900
Expenditures at hotels, sa-
looms, billiard rooms and
places of amusement en-
route and in Carson City. 100000
Profits of pawn brokers in COM
missions and unredeemed
pledges .......... ...... 10000
Total SO. 700, 900
These es' I'm ates, so far as The travel
ling and il ciuentll eXpen-es 60, are
based on the reported attendance of
3 ZOO strangers in the Nevada town, an
odd assemb age of people, which has
been aptly termed a ua;io0 al convention
of gamb ers. The buik Of the remainder
was spent by the de egates' consti-
tuents who stayed at home. No account
is made of the vast sur of mon~y ret
and lost ard May 9TH items which
might rightly be included in expendi-
lures.
All things considered, the estimates
are low, but the sum is large enough
to furnish food for interesting and
shaming reflection. Think Of it. 81

NEW LINES.
The rumOrS to the effect that the
Santa Fe is seriously contemplating
the construction of a branch line into
the new gold district of northern New
Mexico, has spurred up o-her lines,

direction. Expert w. 5. Ward, of the
Gulf, is about to make trip of ipves-
legation, and it is claimed the advance
corps of Santa Fe surveyors are already
in the field. 1t will ba necessary to
build fifty to seventy-five miles of track
to reach the principal centers, but it is
ha' diy posi- ole for any ground to be
broken for at least six weeks Mining
men claim there is no doubt of the
future of the district.-Optic.
SWITCH THROwERS.
Several times lately switches have
been found open in the Southern Pa
cific yard here, says the Lordsburg
Liberal. The railroad employees have
been on the lookout for the m screant
who was doing this work. Tuesday Ed
Hanks switchman, caught Mexican
throwing switch. Hanks proceeded
to arrest the Mexican, but had to
knock him down a few time, before
Hanks thought he was in a proper
condition to be arrested. When he got
him in a satisfactory shape Hanks took
him to the lookup. The MXic4n will
have chance to an-wer before the dis
trict court, interfering with railroad

MANAGERS or BALL TEAMS
Those ON the Bench Have Been
Most Successful.
Have Championship Teams In All
the Various Leagues Through
out the Country.

As the baseball season draws to close
it Is an interesting matter to look over the
field and observe the managers of the
various teams. Four OF the twelve clubs
have bench managers, while nine have
what are termed map pager captains. The
latter are Anson in Chicago, Tebeau in
Cleveland, Clarke in louisville, Hailman
in st. Louis, Brown In Washington, Dono-
van in Pittsburg, Stallings in Philadelphia,
Ewing in Cincinnati and Joyce in New
York. The two leading teams, however
have bench managers Selee in Boston and
Hanlon in Baltimore. Barnie in Brooklyn
has not fared 50 well, for no other reason
that he made a mistake in ms first deal,
when he let Col an and Ritchie go.
New York and Cincinnati are Well up In
the race, but even at that the men at the
head of the teams come very near being
bench managers. Ewing has not played
at all, and Joyce h as at last discovered
that he can direct the playing from the
bench just as well as while in the field.
Anson at one time was all right, and got
good results from his men, but that day is
past.
1t S also strong point worth noting
by the advocates of the player managers
that the leading teams In all the leagues
have bench managers. Here is the list.
Selee and Hanlon, OF Boston and BalLi-
more, Irwin, of Toronto; in the Eastern
League; Watkins, of Indianapolis, in the
Western League, Mike" Finn, OF New
port, ia the New England League; Charles
Strobel, OF Toledo, in the Interstate Lea
que; Frank Palmer, of st. Joseph, iii the
Western Association, and Deacon Ellis,
OF New ark, and Frank Rim, Of Lancaster.
in the Atlantic League.
1t would therefore seem that the ad-
vocates of the bench manager have q
great deal tie best OF the argument.

GEoRGIANs' CLEAN SWEEP.
Win the Hilton Trophy and RegI-
mental Interstate Match.


sea G!rt, n. j. Sept. 3.-Georgia is
taking everything in sight at the seventh
annual meeting Of the New Jersey State
Rifle Association. Today she won the
Hilton trophy and regImentsl interstate
matches. The victories were 50 easy that
they left no doubt In the minds of the
nIarksInen that the Southern sharPshooters
are alIuos, invincible.
The wind was blowing strongly from the
northeast when the shooters faced the
butts this morning. The Hiltob trophy
was the first match on the program. On
account OF the high wind no one expected
remarkable scores. When the first stage Of
the shoot at 200 yards was ended New
jersey was in the lead with $50 points
New York szcond with 351, and Georgia
third aad last, two points behind the
Empire state.
Jersey stocS increased in value and the
States friends had hopes that she would
do equally as wen on the long ranges
The wind decreased little after dinner
On the 500 yard range, Georgia finished
first with 3Se, New York next and New
Jersey the Uailender. Her good showing
nn the short range was forgotten in the
poor scores at 500 yards. However, the
Jerseymen Went On the 600-yard range
with their hopes bolste-ed up little by
Gov. Grggs and Gen Spencer. They
scored 31S 10 32S for New York, and 34S
for Georgia.
It. was after 6 O'Clock when the match
was ended. Georgia won. with score Of
/ ,os6; New York was second, with ,O63.
and New Jersey last, with 1,O06. Lieut..
Stebbins and Sergt. Napier, of New York
Private Ransom, of New Jersey, and Pri-
vate Mercer, Capt. Cam and Capt. Harri
son, of Georgia, scored a possible 80 at
500 yards.
The Washington markSmen are much
chagrined on account of the announce
ment that Capt. George Cam, OF Georgia
intends to enter the inspector of rifle
practice match tomorrow. Capt. Canu
was sworn in yesterday at Sea Girt as in
spector of rifle practice in one of the
Georgia regiments. 1t is claimed that
he is not eligible to compete in the In
speCtors' match because he was not corr-
missioned before be came North The
trouble may result in the Washington
marksmen ahStaining from participating
in any further matches.
The Presidents match and the Wimble-
don cup matches are also down for to-
morrow.
The regimental team match, open t.
teams Of six from the regimental baU-
talons and separate company organizations
of the national guard, went to Georgia, with
a total sore of 1,007. The known dis.
tances, zoo and 500 yards, were shot oI.

The teams mentioned bove are about in
a class by themselves, with the Wash

able condition, considering the patronage
given TO the home club. Louisville is per
haps the stronger club of the sextette, but
as they VII play away from home until
the last three games OF the season with
Cincinnati 1T does not seem rea sonaEfe
to suppose that they Will finish where
they now are.
II home games are OF benefit to this par
ticular class OF clubs the Pittsburgs Will
really have the best chance TO improve their
standing, because they will end the season
on ti-eir own grounds, playin in ;urn st

The Fhiiadelphias in the East VIII finish
away from home, while the Brooklyns, who
are IN the also ran bunch, have more than
an even chance TO get up in the list for
the reason that they will play at home.
The opportunities that the Washington

from Chicago yesterday. Baltimore also
won, but their defeat on Wednesday was
Eserlous setback. New York could not Bet
terfts position and went back in percentage

for them 70 get further up the ladder,
unless they can defeat both the Orioles
