M'DUFFIE DEFEATS sTARBUCK
The Phiiadelphinn's PAGERS Go Back
on Him. But He Holds On

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 2i.-Frank Starbuck,
the crack bicycle rider. of Philadelphia.
met a crushing defeat at the hands of
Eddie McDufie here tonight in twenty
mile paced race for slOO0 and the middle
distance championship title. The men
seemed to be equally matched, so far as
individual merit went, but McDufiie had
much the better pacemakers, and those
allotted to Starbuck could neither do him
justice with regard to speed nor were
they equal TO the cleYerness of McDuffie's :
PAGERS in making effective pick-ups A
botch on the part OF StaTbuck's tandems
on the first mile enabled the Boston racer
to score a lap on his competitor. Star
buck stuck manfully to the race until in
the fourth mile another lap was scored
on him by the steady speed and smooth
ness of McDuftie and his teams
Starbuck made bold attempt to repair
his fortunes by sticking to the rear wheel
of McDuffie's machine and ignoring his
own men, but he was not able TO get an
inch in front of the Bostonian. The if
teenth mile McDuffie made in 80 minutes
and 30 seconds. BY the time the twen-
tieth mile had been rolled off the watches
pointed to 43:O4 2-5, when he quit the
track. having won sI00.
Thirty per cent of the prize money went
to Starbuck.

TOMMY RYAN WINS.
The Syracusan Entirely OutcInsses
Jnck Bonner.

New York, Oct. 24.-Tommy Ryan, of
Syracuse made his bow as a middle
weight at the Greater New York Athletic
Club, Coney Island, tonight and got
decision over Jack Bonner, of Philadel-
phia, in a twenty-round bout. Bonner
who knocked Dan Creedon out not long
ago, was completely out-classed by Ryan,
who fought with superb science and gen.
eraFship. Bonner received one of the
worst beatings any fighter ever took in a
local ring but he stayed to the limit by
sheer grit and gameness for which he re-
ceived the plaudits and praise of 5000 per-
sons He was unable to hit Ryan mors
than a dozen effective blows in the whole
fight. but he kept trying to land his
powerful right and left handlers, even
when he had one eye closed. Bonner was
groggy on several occasions, but he re-
vived wonderfully, and never showed an
ishment that Ryan delivered at almost
every stage.
Towards the close the victor became
careful however, and let up in his at
tack. Bonner was badly cut and bruis-
ed while Ryan escaned without a mark.
1t was a good fight, and Bonner's exhi-
bition of nerve will be remembered by
all who saw him go down in defeat
Some people may say that Ryan should
have knocked his man out early in the
contest, but the fact that the Philadel-
phian was dangerous during a majority of
the rounds made 1t necessary for Ryan
to fight with caution.
Ryan now wants to fight anybody for
the middle-weight championship.

CABINET MEETING
The Maine Horror the Only Subject
Discussed

Discussed
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S-The only alb
sentees from the cabinet meeting today
were Secretaries Sherman and Alger. The
disaster to the Maine was the principal
topic of discussion. Secretary Long re-
ceived a cablegram from Captain Sigsbee,
giving an account of the funeral of four
teen of the victims, substantially as cabled
last night to the Associated Press and
printed in the morning papers. Although
the president and members of the cabinet
await with interest the results of the in
quiry into the cause of the disaster, there
remains scarcely a doubt in their minds
but that it was an accident purely, such
as might happen at any time. This view
of the matter, however, will not influence
the president to stop short of a most
searching investigation into all facts that
may have any possible bearing upon the
case. Until facts are shown to the con-
trary the president will assume that the
explosion came from within. The presl-
dent is receiving a large number of mes
sages commencing him for the course he
has pursued in this matter as well as in
the late De LONE case.
The president announced to the cabinet
that he would send bouquet of flowers to
Mrs. Sigsbee. a decision which was ap-
proved by the cabinet. Accordingly En-
sign Kettle, son-in-law of Captain Sigsbee
was summoned from the navy department
to the White House and laden with an i'm
mense bouquet, tied with white satin rib
bons. Floral tributes were also ordered
sent to families of the six members of the
Names crew living here who met their
death in the explosion.
