NEW YORK, June 24.-Peter Maher
the heavyweight champion pugilisr of
Ireland, and Tom Sharkey, the Sailor
Lad" of San Francisco, who also halls
from the Emerald Isle, were matched
today to fight to a finish. "Buck"
Connolly, of Pittsburg, representing
Maher, and Dan Lynch Of San Fran
cisco, who is Sharkey's manager, met
at the Police Gazette Office at noon,
where articles Of agreement were
drawn up. The terms Of agreement
are that the men shall fight to a finish
before the club or individual Offering
bet of S. 900. Representatives Of the
fighters deposited $4,000 each to bind
the match. Richard K. Fox was made
temporary stakeholder, and on Aug. 2
another deposit Of $4,000, from each
will be paid down in this city, making
the full amount Of 1000 side The
final stakeholder will be AL Smith
The referee is to be mutually agreed
upon.
There was a question raised by Con-
molly as to the location of the fight
fight at any place in the world except
San Francisco, as a finish fight is pro-
hibited in California. Lynch assured
Connolly that he would not entertain
any proposition given by any club in
California. This suited the Pittsburg-
er and the managers, accompanied by
Sam G. Austin, went across to Jersey
City, where they signed the articles.
The articles call for the bout to take
place within three months after the

ager of the Milwaukee team in that league

him. In 1892 he was president of the Illinois

KANSAS CITY. Mo, June 24.-The
hard-hitting Saints made life some
thing of a burden today to kid
Bevis, the pitching Lochinvar, who
comes out Of the West, touching him
up for fourteen hits, six of which were
doubles and another a three-bagger.
But the hitting of the visitors does not
tell the whole story of Kansas City S
woe. The Cowboys were slothful and
loafed on their opportunities. They ran
bases badly and made stupid plays at
critical moments. In fact, they gave d
pretty fair representation of a tail-end
game by a tail-end team. 1t was
HtBrownie" Foreman's day for slab
duty, but the eccentric little south
