AWARDED TO LAVIGNE
TWENTY-FIVE-ROUN FIGHT, IN
WHICH M'PARTLAND DID WELL.
Lively "Mill" at the Broadway Ath-
letic Club-COrbett and Fitz to
Meet at Carson City.

NEW YORK, Feb. S-The twenty-five
round bout between the lightweight cham
pion. George C.Kid') avigne. of Saginaw
which was brought off tonight at the
Broadway Athletic Club, resulted in favor
of the former. That Mcfarland could last
the limit in the face of such rapid fight
er as Lavgne was never dreamed of by
the most sanguine of his friends. but he did
it and by SO doing his stock has gone Ip
wonderfully in the pugilistic market. These
two boys met for the light-v eight cham
pionship at 134 pounds and each weighed
in to the others satisfaction. Lavigne. of
course, was the favorite, but a great many
bets were lost and won as to the duration
of the bout Many people thought that the
New Yorker would not stand ten rounds b.
fore the champion, while others placed thei-
hopes in his being able TO withstand
Lavignes rushes for fifteen rounds, but out
side of his backer and manager, Jack
DOugherty, and a few very close friends,
none could be founc who would venture a
bet on his going the limit.
From the beginning of the bout MOZART
land was kept on the defensive and he held
1t all through. Lavigne seemed puzzled at
times at McPartland's clever lodging and
ducking and as he afterwards exclaimed,
Macs clever one. but he's so awkward
that it is hard to get TO him." In the early
part of the bout il looked as If Mcfarland
during the night he pulled himself together
and landed his clever left inconveniently for
Lavigne on that worthy's head, neck and
ever, and Referee Dick Roche's decision in
his favor was received by the three thou

DEFENSE OF THE NAVY.
Secretary Herbert Deprecates News
paper Criticisms of War ships.

WASHINGTON. Feb. S.-There is nothing
serious the matter with the battle ship In
diana. 1t is true that Captain Taylor put
back TO port because he thought he saw
danger in the starting OF the turret as the
ship rolled in the trough of the sea. But
the captain was more scared than hurt.
The Indiana was not in any danger. Capt.
Evans. who commanded the Indiana before
Captain Taylor took her. had often noticed
the slight moving of the turret but he was
never alarmed about it. Some bolts may
need tightening 10 repair the defect or
some slight alterations may be found neces-
sary. But the trouble is a triflng one. The
prompt manner in which Captain Taylor
put back to port upon noticing this defect
shows how timid our naval commanders
have become under the fire of newspaper
critism. The naval people say that there
Is a sort of reign of terror in their ranks.
