DECLARED A DRAW,

NEW YORK. Aug. 17.-Fifteen hun
dred patrons of pugiliSm assembled at
the Greenwood Athletic Club in South
Brooklyn last night. AS soon as the
house was fairly well filled those who
had paid their good money were in
formed that the main bout Of the three
or the program, which called for 20
round contest between Jack powney OF
Brooklyn and Martin Flaherty Of Low
ell. Mass. would not take place, but
that Larry Becker OF Bayonne. n. j.,
would take the place of Flaherty.
There was a rush for the box office
for return OF the money paid for adj
mission and reserved seats, but the
stampede was Of short duration. Fla
herty was introduced in the ring, but
his appearance clearly indicated that he
was in anything but fit condition to
enter a fistic contest. He lacked train
ing. The spectators were generous in
reception given him.
Becker put up one of the pluckiest
fights of his career. and made the
Brooklyn ideal look like a novice. In
the eighth round Becker rushed Dow
ney to the ropes and landed a hard
left on the head which staggered him.
At this time 1t was clear that Downey
was outpointed. and the police inter-
fered.
When IL was announced that the
referee had decided the bout a draw
there were howls of Indignation from
all parts OF the building.
In the preliminary bouts Terry Nc
G3vern beat Eddie Goodbodv i'm 10
rounds and Jim McKeever of Philadel-
phia stopped Charlie Mccarthy of South
Brooklyn with a hard blow on the jaw
in the second round when the police
stopped the bout

BARNABY IN The LEAD.

BOSTON. Aug. 17.-Thomas A. Bar

close of the first eight hours riding i'm
the six-day bicycle race which was
started Monday at Charles River Park.

NEWS OF ANDREE.

Good Journey Norlhwar1.

Christiana, Aug. l7.-Information re.
oeived here confirms the story published
in n dispatch from Hammerfest, Norway,
saying that one of the searchers for Herr
Andree met the sealing vessel Aiken
about July ~ and was informed by her
captain that one of the crew had shot a
carrier pigeon between North Cape and
Seven Islands on the north coast or lap
land. tearing message from the explorer
addressed to the Alton badet of Stock
holm, which read as follows:
'Eighty-two degrees passed. Good jour-
ney northward. Andree.'
The date OF the message was illsgible.
The pigeon also carried letter address
ed to the onbladet, but the captain OF
the Aiken declined to surrender either tho
dispatch or the pigeon and continued his
voyage nortbward. The captain is faml-
lar with Andree's plans and is greatly in
terested in them.
The news arrived here very indirectly.
The captain of the Aiken communicated
tho information to the commander Of the
ship lnjeperg OF Iromsoe, the latter trans
mitted the news to the commander OF the
steamer Express, in which the Lerner
polar expedition was coming home, and
the Express finally passed the news along
tn the steamer Lofoen, which brought il

really started July 22. 1895. and since
that time he mas steadily climbed the

he has ridden this season may be judged
from the fact that his cash winnings

During the coming week Cooper will

The Providence Grays were very un-
kind TO their old comrade, Pitcher Har-
ry Dolan. when they met at Adelaide
Park yesterday afternoon. 1t was the
first time his former mates faced him
since he joined the Springfields.
They sized up his sweeping curves.
refused to have anything to do with
them until he sent the ball over the
plate. and then they proceeded to knock
the stuffing out of II.
There was no Disgusting the fact that
they were determined to impress Mr..
Dolan with few thoughts Last year
when he was with the Grays they won
the championship. This year they
haven't got 1t really within their
clutches. Mr.. Dolan had not lost a
game since his return to Eastern league
circles. 1t was considered possible that
Harry's think box was filled with no
tions that he was the real pennant win
ner.
In the first and second innings Dolan
persistently tried to work the Provi-
dence batsmen with the old time lob
ster delivery, by which he wound the
ball in all sorts OF sweeping lines
around the plate. But they had recently
adopted the watchword Wait" They
could have had no better one against
the crab-like delivery. A hit and three
bases on balls produced a run in thu
first inning and the Grays would have
had more but for sharp fielding.
Springfield threatened to tie when
Fuller got four balls and Bannon a hit,
with only one out on strikes, Green.
But when big Dan Brouthars tried 10
bat the ball out to right field. just be-
TO protect that territory, something
happened that surprised everybody.
Braun got the ball on the fly and made
a sensational throw to third base, so
that Bassett had the ball in hand and
was waiting to put IL on Fuller when hv
arrived there. The double play shut out
Springfield.
In the sixth Springfield made a fine
rally. Dolan made a desperate ground
hit. of which Weigand vainly tried to
'ob him. Fuller put one 10 right that
s'Taun could not reach and Dolan ran 10
third. and he scored on a wild pitch
which Dixon claimed hit the bat and
was fouled. Fuller gaining second. He
went To third on Green's retirement
and scored on "A hit by Bannon.
Brouthers was second out on a neat
catch by Lyons. Rogers drew called
balls and a hit by Woods sent Bannon
home with the third run Gilbert tried
10 clear the bases. but Knight got the
ball i'm the deep left corner and checked
the trouble the Ponies were making.
There was no more scoring until the
ninth. when Dixon was hit by a pitched
ball and scored on Draubys two bag
ger. which Green failed to stop. That
would not have been the only run If
Drauby had not done little dopey base
running. Woods led off with two
