as to show conelusively hat the cham
pions are not the team that they were
last year. The Catholic Club played in
good form and they had a full house to
cheer them. The team cut out their work
at the start and ever afterwards the
cracks were behind. The home team
'bow1ed well n put up their usual aver
age. For the others the result was diff
ferent and they rolled in anything but
championship form. The team was I'M
able to reach the average and fell to
ole of the lowest totals of the season.
The prominence OF the Elizabeths and the
prospect for q hard race drew out the
biggest crowd that has witnessed a match
at the c.. C. alleys. All rooted for the
home team, and with odds SO strongly
against them Elizabeth probably became
discouraged. The Catholic Club has made
an excellent start now, and with the two
victories to aid them in the last two
games the team can be expected TO make
a more aggressive battle. Score:-

Tommy White Defeated but spike

AT the National Sporting Club, London,
last night, Spike Sullivan, the Ameri-
can boxer, defeated Jimmy Curran, the
Englishman, on points in a twenty round
battle. Later in the evening Ben Jordan,
the featherweight champion of England,
defeated Tommy White of Chicago in a
protracted fight of nineteen rounds. Sui
Ivan and Curran clashed at 1876 pounds
for a purse of $1,000 and a side bet. The
betting favored White. He was taller than
his opponent and appeared the more
cleverer, scoring more rapidly in the early
rounds. Jordan, however, never wasted
a blow and always left the marks of his
glove. He did plenty of execution with
both hands and at close quarters he weak
ened White, who was greatly distressed
in the nineteenth round, when Jimmy
Barry, who was behind him, threw up the
spong
In the Su-llivan-Curran bout the latter
maintained a good lead for the first dozen
rounds, but his exertions told upon him
during the remainder of the fight. To
ward the close Sullivan was the agrees
sor. He won after a very close contest.
Among the supporters of White present
were Tod Sloan, the jockey, and Capt.
Arson, of baseball fame.
Jordan and White boxed at 14 pounds,
which is entirely too light for White, for
as he had not fought for several months
previous to last nights battle. of yours
he took on considerable weight, and in
order to get it off it made him very
weak. which no doubt was responsible
for his defeat.
White and Jordan fought for a purse

material that may make a showing in
the race. Andy Walsh, the champion
