backed up by the weight of the body and are delivered from long range Time and again he planted his right on Griffo's ribs under the left arm, but with the exception of imparting a red mark to the spot where his glove land ed the effect of the blows did not seem to annoy the invader very much. In fact, Griffo remarked after the cont est that the pleasure taps were stimu- lating
 But Griffo with his nasal appendage managed to stop some left hand smash es that caused him to blink and wonder how Mcconnell contrived to get inside of his famous guard.
 The Australians clever ducking was a revelation to the members of the club. Time and again he shot his bull opponent when avoiding swinging blows, but instead of planting his lightning left, as is his custom, three or four times in succession on the face of his opponent before executing the back step Griffo slid away to either side of Mcconnell and f1ddled like dancing master in front of his long-armed adversary.
 Time and again Griffo could have easily crossed Mcconnell, but he failed to take advantage of a single
 
 chin beautifully with his shoulder and was seemingly satisfied to take all the ribroasters that were aimed at him.
 Occasionally Griffo let out a link or so and planted his left on his oppon- ent's nose as a reminder, but none of the blows was what could be termed wicked. excepting the swings aimed to land within an inch or so of McCon- nell's jaw.
 The local man Is, nevertheless, very shifty and clever fighter, and he should have stopped the Australian had there been any steam in his punches.
 On points Mcconnell won the match easily. Griffo played a very clever defensive game. The referee, Phil Wand. gave good decision when he awarded the contest to Mcconnell on points.
 Young Jimmy Lawlor made short work of Cocker Tweedie.
 The local lad had the better of the first round, but in the second round Tweedie opened fire and was doing good service when he was sent to the boards a completely knocked-out man from the effects of a right-hand smash on the point Of the jaw. Tweedie missed left swing at Lawlors law. and as the glove shot past the mark Lawlor sent out a straight right which won him a short but handsome victory.

Ell Sheppard, an attorney, testified before the Grand Jury yesterday that Samuel L. Waller, one of the Board of School Directors, offered to secure position for his daughter as a school teacher for the sum of $500.
 Sheppard said under oath that on May 5 of last year he went to the store of the school director and there had a conversation with Julian Waller, a brother of Samuel, on school matters and the methods Of securing positions as teachers. Sheppard says he was in formed that there was a way to do it and that a hint was given him to the effect that such positions were for sale. Not long afterward Sheppard says he saw Samuel Waller and broached the subject to him. Waller replied that there was considerable expense in put ting a teacher on the pay roll of the department, and after some hesitation the director said the cost would amount to about $500 and for that sum he would secure the desired appointment for Miss Sheppard.
 School Director Waller says Shep- para SloIy lS du oiu Ole WILL Ol dAu Juries In December Sheppard told the tale to the Grand Jury that was recently discharged and that body, af- ter a full hearing, dismissed the com plaint. Sheppard's testimony at that time was unsupported and he could bring nothing to bear him out in his charges Waller was called before the Grand Jury and he testified that he had never to his knowledge ever seen Shep- pard until they met in the juryroom.

How Frank Mcconnell Defeated the Clever
 Australian.
Fifteen Rounds of Fancy >Fisti- cuffs Where No Gore
 Was Shed.
Jimmie Lawlor Put "Cocker ! Tweedie to Sleep In Three
 Rounds.

Young Griffo, the Australian light weight champion pugilist, proved to the satisfaction of expert boxers and judges of pugilism last evening, in the gymnasium of the Olympic Club, that he was one of two things, viz: a phenomenally clever lad at hippo droming or man who has retrograd- ed very much during the past few years of warm living and high dissi- patton.
 Griffo "the great"-that is, as a master of the manly art-met Frank Mcconnell of the San Francisco Ath- letic Club in a fifteen-round bout, which was witnessed by a large gath ering of Olympic Club members and their friends, who had paid fee of 8 50, which was the price of admis- sion charged for outsiders.
 Mcconnell was in superb condition: in fact, he looked as if he were trained a shade too fine.
 It will be remembered that some in Vallejo, but owing to the insignifi- cant sum that was taken in at the gate Mcconnell refused to Ego on," and in his place was substituted Vallejoite named Lewis, a big husky middle weight, who proved to be f1rst-class chopping block for the Australian.
 The Olympic Club. however, feeling that considerable interest would be ta- ken in a match between Mcconnell and Griffo, signed the men a few weeks ago, and as previously stated Griffo played successfully the ''old rocks" game or satisfied his admirers that dis sipation that landed him among the army of good old timers.
 Mcconnell. who recently joined the professional ranks, is unquestionably a very promising colt, but his blows are steamless simply because they are not

INAUGURAL SERMON
Preached BY Rev. Mr.. Dick 10
Mathewson st. M. E. Church.
"Unit of Power" Was the Subject Of The
New Pastors Discourse.

There was large congregation in attend
ance at the morning service in the hathewson
Street NJ. E. church yesterday, when Rev.
DR.. 8. M. Dick, the new pastor. preached his
inaugural sermon. "Unit OF Power" was his
theme. and his text was l. Cor. ill.,, o. For
we are laborers together with God"
Rev. Mr.. Dick said that the unit Of power in
building up the kingdom of heaven is neither
God nor man, but both. The organic rela-
tions between God and man make this true.
To illustrate, there Is the parable of the vine,
II am the vine, ye are the branches" II the
branches are not In the vine they wither. and
the vine bears no fruit. Such is tfe man and
God relation-both are necessary in order
that there may be progress. To make ad-
vancement and the plan OF salvation sure,
there must be the Divine and the human
agency. This truth established. God becomes
as much dependent on man as man on God.
Theirs Is an interdependence. In accomplish
ing nything there are almost always two
forces-exanples steam and iron in engines
Of manufacturing ard commerce: electricity
and steel or copper cables in rapid communi-
cation: the light snd dark in beauty and art
good and evil in character.
Both these last two qualities coming in con-
tact with each other lift men higher and
higher. Power is the result OF contradictions. s..
In union is the whole system and spirit of
progress. As the union of these forces gives
US prckrees in the intellectual and CONNER :
cial world so the alliance OF God and man
gives us progress 10 the spiritual realm. So
much as ID is the providence OF God and nan
TO carry on the kingdom Of heaven we are
laborers with God In overcomi ng the power >
OF darkness, and, having labored with Him,
and conquered with Him. by and by we shall
reign with Him forever and ever.
