him severely. A Californian who saw
Friday nights battle says:
Every since Tom Sharkey wrestled and
roughed Jim Corbett for four rounds in
June, 1896. he has been a discordant ele-
ment in pugilism, and has done more to
bring into disrepute glove contests, not
only in this but in other cities, than all
other representatives of that class or
sport. Not single contest in which he
ever engaged has resulted in q manner
satisfactory TO the public, and which did
not leave a bad odor connected with
Sharkey's name. His career has been
brief but lively. He has made himself IA
nous through his failures TO defeat rath-
er than his victories. He managed to
stay four rounds with Jim Corbett by
style Of wrestling peculiarly his own.
He was knocked out by Bob FitZsimmons
in eight rounds but FitzsimmOns was
robbed of the decision He fought Peter
Maher seven rounds, at New York, and
when he was beaten resorted to unfair
means. causing the police 10 interfere and
stop the fight. He defeated old, decrepit
Joe Goddard in six rounds recently
but the latter was poor subject for any
strong man to fight. In his fight with
Choynski Friday night he capped the eli

Clinton r. Coulter, the sprinter, who
has signed to ride on the international
Track Association circuit this Summer,
and who holds the record, 1:J9 2-5 for an
unpaced mile, broke into racing in n Gu
rious manner. His home is in Mansfield,
Ohio, and he began riding in 1893. While
he was considered fast rider, his friends
had no idea there was in him the making
of racer. Ii was not until he began
TO make the journey TO the Pacific Coast
awheel that there came the chance to
prove of what he was made. With a COM
panion he left Mansfield for San Francis
co. They rode hard, and when they
reached Denver both were well tagged
out. At the time they reached the Colo
RADIO town there was bicycle meet in
progress and number of tempting prizes
were offered. Coulter, though worn out
by his long ride. decided TO enter the
races. He surprised not only all of Den
Yer. but himself as well. Everything he
was raced against during the meet he de-
feated.
His success at this time decided his flu

Jim Mcguire, while in Detroit the other
day, gave some of his notions regarding
baseball matters as they now exist OF
Washington's chances the popular catch
er thinks they have been a good deal bet
tered by the trade with Baltimore, and
that they are certain first-division club.
However, he thinks the deal was also n
good one for Baltimore and saws that
they have secured a great pair i'm Demon
treville and McJames. The latter. he
says. is the speediest pitcher he ever
caught, and that is saying a good deal
His great trouble has been lack of con-
troll, and that deficiency he has remedied
pretty well. He believes Baltimore
Boston, Cincinnati and Washington are
the most prominent contending clubs in
the National League outlook at present
In speaking of the new legislation
against rowdyism, Mcclure remarked
that the spectators found at the various
cities had more to do with causing trouble
than all of the players. There are no
riots at Boston, he said, NOR at any
but few of the cities. If rules are need
ed to keep the players in bounds. they
are also needed to keep rowdy spectators
from kicking up a row. They saw more
and worse things TO the umpires than
ever the players do

Bernhardt and Becker. two young
pitchers who were thought to be promis-
ing. may not play with the team. Bern
hardt at the last moment wired from
Buffalo that he would not report. as he
had promised to, and says he has written
his reasons. Becker. whose home is at
Syracuse, wants more money than is Of
fered him. Childs and Ames have been
sold to the Hartford club. and Brandt
and Tate will probably play with the
same team. McVey and Schaub have
been farmed to Lancaster, and Catcher
Fox will probably put in the season with
the Norfolk club. Chids and Ames are
the only ones who have been disposed of
outright. Nothing has been heard from
Nash since he went TO California last
fall, and the suspicion has been aroused
that Billy does not intend to come East
1t is perhaps just as well that he does
not. since he would hardly get a place
on the team unless the new material
proves disappointing.

ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Metropolitan Theater this
evening Willie Collier, the inimitable, in
/ THE Man From Mexico" an adapta-
ton from the French of Du Souchet's
My Friend From India" 1t has been
our fortune to see Collier in this farce
comedy. and we can unhesitatingly en-
dorse it as one of the most enjoyable
of low comedies and sparkling of hui
nlorous productions. Golfers work in
the lead of the play deserves more than
the especial mention every critic of the
piece has accorded him. Perhaps, the
greatest charm of his performance is
the absolute ease with which he secures
his effects. He seems even to repress
some of the hilarity which the rollick-
ing fun of the farce makes contagious
Aas much to the company as to the au-
dience. He goes through his various
miSadyentureS with SO much apparent
serious dismay that one is inclined at
times to pity him, and then of a sudden
a wink or a pathetic smile from him
sets everybody in roars of laughter. He
has to lie out of scrapes in his usual fer
tile manner, which sportive husbands
have ever at their command in come
dies, but rarely in real life. Unlike Bill
ings in TOO Much Johnson Benjamin
FitZhugh cannot lie with sang froid.
Every prevarication requires such
strain on his inventive genius that by
the time the fib is preached he is in a
high state Of nervous perspiration. An
other striking feature of Golfers work
is his inimitable facial expression. His
makeup is one of the most ordinary
that of q business man in everyday life.
His face is clean shaven. Nevertheless.
he somehow contrives to put more
twists and turns into it than if he had
spent an hour and a half in devising
ridiculous makeup.

We have seen no comedian in years
who more nearly approaches the ideal
for self-possession. ease and natural
ness. One can readily understand that
a good deal of the native wit of Mr..
Collier must have been injected into the
piece, for as a matter of fact, though
from the French, ii bears no evidence
OF it's origin whatever. Mr.. Collier is
supported by good company. In the
cast is the favorite Louise Allen, whose
Mexican dance in the last act is one of
the most laughable things in the play.
for while Miss Allen is graceful and
perfect in the dance, Collier makes 1t
supremacy ridiculous by his attempts
to teach it in mimicry. Whoever at

At the Orpheum this evening the third
performance of the new bill already no.
ticed at length in these columns. The
programme is one of great interest and
variety Rice and Elmer in their COM
edy gyfnnastic act have taken the
town, so to speak. while Clivette, the
shadow graphist and juggler, has simply
cast into the shadow all who have pre-
coded him in his line of work. These
leaders. with the trained dogs, the Won
derfuI child artist La Petite Lund, the
Juvenile comedian De Haven, Weston
and Herbert, the musical and comedy
team, and Kitty Mitchell, the chai ming
soubrette, who is a decided and most
successful addition 20 the new bill, make
up a programme thoroughly enjoyable
and that should fill the house every
night.
