SPORTING MATTERS.
Paddy Core Matched Against Bruner,
the Ohio Champion.
They Will Box at Benwood on the
18th, Before the Virginia Club.
Articles Of Agreement Signed
Yesterday Results OF Bowling
Games Last Night-Other Sport
ing Matters.

Articles of agreement were signed IN
the Register Office yesterday afternoon
for twenty round bout between Paddy
Gore, Of this city, and Joe Bruner, OF
Cincinnati. The articles stipulate that
the match is to be decided on the even
ing Of the 18th inst, before the Viz
GINA Athletic Club, of Benwood, the
men to weigh 1903 pounds, Marquis OF
Queensbury rules to govern.
Core issued a challenge to Bruner
some days ago. Bruner claims the
championship OF Ohio in his class. He
is a stocky little fellow, said to be not
particularly clever, but to have an UNI
limited capacity for punishment.
Core is one of the most scientific box
ers Wheeling has produced. Although
he has boxed in number of exhibition
bouts he has never been tried out IN
a long contest with a man in has class.
Although he may not be as hard hitter
as his opponent, he is reasonably certain
to land more frequently. His friends
have great deal of confidence in him,
and one of them declared enthusiastic
ally yesterday that he can easily secure
backing here for $500.
AS patrons of the Metropolitan Club
appear to be dissatisfied with the con-
duct Of the last exhibition at the club
house, it may be some time before an
other bout is arranged. 1t might be
we'll for local lovers of the manly art
to reflect moment before they in
dulge in such severe criticism of the
club. The position of referee in con-
test in which the principals resort to
questionable tactics is certainly not an
enviable one. 1t might be said that his
duty is clear-that he should promptly
decide against the offending party. By
a strict Interpretation of the rules this
might be done, but it would Ger tainly
produce much dissatisfaction. The
referee has not only the principals and
their hackers, but the spectators as
well, to please, and he is indeed a lu cky
official whose decisions are not called
into question by somebody. Author
tiles agree that contests should not be
decided upon fouls unless there be a
palpable intention to foul. For this
reason the better course to pursue is
to warn the offending party. No re-
spOnsible person has ever called into
question the honesty of the official
referee of the M. A. G.. 1t was different
in the case of Peter Maher. With his
honesty Of purpose and his knowledge
of ring tactics, it would be hard to find
better official than P. J. Gavin, yet
Mr. Gavin is not exempt from the com
mon failing of humanity-liability to

THE CHS COAL CONTRACT.
Some Side Lights on the Situation in
Recent Years.
The Rate Of Mining, the Freight
Rate. and the Contract Price
With the City = Overcharges
Added from 1898 to Date,

The recent letting, by the City Gas
Board of coal contract at $1.09 per
ton, has called forth the criticism
that the contract cannot be filled at
that price, because the cost of mining
is Csc and the freight 40c, making
$1.05, and leaving but &c margin. In
this connection, it is of interest to
look up the contracts for the past few
years, held by Mr.. Floersheim, and
to note the ratio between the aggre-
gated cost of mining and railroad
freight, and the contract price with
the city. This may be tabulated as
follows:

In his statement to the public. Mr..
Floersheim claims that the coal cannot
be furnished at profit, at less than
S1.40. 1t will be seen that his highest
contract price since 1898 was S1.34, aud
his highest margin 34c, while TO- the
last year the contract was $1.16, and
the margin but lie. Mr.. Floereheim's
contract of September Is, 1893, was for
two years, on a basis of 7Sc per ton
for mining; that of september Is, 1895,
was for one year, on ] tasis of Coo per
ton for mining; that Of December 70,
1896. was for one year, on q basis of
sac per ton for mining, and to De-
cember Is, 1897, is on basis Of CSC per
ton, Of 1900 pounds. But Mr.. Floor
sheim had a series of over-charges, IN
1893. for six months, of 19c per tor;
in 1894. for six and half months, of
Ice; in 1895. for three months, OF 2fc;
in 1895. for five and a half months,
of 19c: in 1895 and 1896, for i've

There was a lively bout at Littleton
late yesterday afternoon between Frank
Taylor, colored, of Canada, and Peter
Traynor, which was awarded to Tray
nor in the third round on foul, after
the black man had been repeatedly
warned by Referee Flynn. Traynor
had the better of the contest through
cut, and would unquestionably have
won the fight ON its merits. A big
crowd of Warrington sports was pres
ent. Traynor came to Wheeling last
night, accompanied by Jimmy O'Leary,
of Cincinnati.
O'Leary called at the Register Office
last night and expressed desire to
meet Mike Farragher, Jimmy Dime,
Louden Campbell, McGouldrick or
