Refuses, ht IL Said. TO Meet Matthew. Al.
though Ten Pounds over WEIGHT.

The National Sporting Club. at 124th street
and st. Nicholas avenue. received o black eye
last night, when the management failed to pull
OH the advertised bout between Matt Matthews
and Mike Leonard. 1t was said that Leonard
had deliberately refused to box after being ten
pounds over weight. Only two bouts were pro-
vided, Matthews stopping Mike Farragher In
the second round.
The crowd refused to leave the building after
tho hasco until the managers began TO put the
lights out. Everybody said that 1t would be q
long time before the club could wipe out such q
palpable wrong on generous patrons.
Shortly after $3.50 o'clock the police stopped
the sale Of tickets, for the building was jammed
and q big crowd stood outside. There were at
least 5000 persons present whom the first bout
was put on Brooklyn" Jimmy Carroll was
referee, Walter DE Baum rang the bell, and Peto
Prunty did tho announcing. Two ebony.hued
fighters, Frank Bryant and Jimmy Ross, both OF
this city mixed it up in tho opening
Ross was like a novice and Bryant
went at him in the most confidential manner.
In the second round, however, Ross landed some

Eering from heavy, smashes on his jaw, Ross
had plenty of punching left In him, though, and
tho fifth round was full OF smuggling.
In the next two rounds Ross received such n
hard beating that he finally had to sprint around
the ring, whereupon the crowd yelled It's disap-
proyal., In the eighth round Ross suddenly
doubled up and claimed that he had been struck
below the belt. The referee, however, believed
that 1t was a fake and pulled Ross to tho centre
or the ring. where Bryant mme him on the

Ross left the ring in apparent agony, and Bryant
received the decision.

Matt Matthews got into the ring with Mike

The, announcer then said that Leonard was ten
pounds overweight when he weighed in at 8
o'clock, but Matthews had consented to go on.
There. was an uproar until 1t was announced
that FdraChcr, though weighing only 100
pounds, would go on against Matt, who was
eight pounds heavier. They were TO box
twenty rounds. The moment the men be-
gan business 1t was seen that it was
an unequal match. Matthews had no
trouble in landing his heavy swings whenever
he saw an opening. and there were plenty of
them too. In the second round Matthews
rushed in. and with a heavy right on the jaw he
sent Farraguer to the floor. Mike was practi-
cally out when the bell ended the bout. He was
dragged to his corner, and when the bell for the
third round sounded Farragher was unable to
get out OF his chair. Matthews was declared
the winner amid boots, ~catcalls, and Kisses. The
crowd was in bad humor.

A Cedar Shell for Ynie,s Crew.

NEW HAVEN. April 10.-Capt. Bailey of the
Yale crew and Coach Bob Cook have ordered a
cedar shell for the Yale navy. This is the first
wooden boat ordered for Yale since the fated
crew OF 81, which was trounced so badly at New
London. Yale has rowed in a paper shell since
then, and 1t was expected that she would stick
to it this year. 1t is possible that a paper shell
may be ordered later, but not until it is settled
whether the new boat Is as fast as 1t is possible
TO make one. II the cedar shell proves a failure
in the preliminary tests;, Yale will have, as
usual. the paper boat. The new shell will be
about sixty feet long, about twenty-tour inches
ainidships, and will weigh about $50 pounds. 1t
will he built in six weeks. AT present the var
sity eight is rowing In last year line paper boat,
but II has seemed best for Yale to try the kind OF
SELL adopted by Harvard and Cornell.

1t Is generally felt that Poughkeepsio will be the
