IAPAN'S WAR FLEET.

A correspondent of the London
Standard, writing from Berlin,
gives some interesting details con-
corning the new war fleet which
is in course Of construction for
Japan in different parts of the world
1t seems that she is building more
and better ships than any other
power except England, and that
she will be ready for all possible
eventualities if she can only keep
the peace for a year or two longer.
Three vessels of ID, 500 tons, two
of which are nearly finished, are
being built in British yards; one
battle-ship of 10, 900 tons is being
built by Armstrong; four first
class armored cruisers of o6oo tons,
with a speed of twenty knots, are
assigned, two to Armstrong, one
to the Vulcan Company, near Stet-
tin, and one to France; two cruisers
of 5000 tons, with twenty-three
knots, have been ordered in the
United States; one cruiser OF 43oc
tons, with twenty-three knots, and
eight torpedo-boat destroyers, with
thirty knots, in England; eight tor.
pedo-boats at Elbing; four III
France; and three cruisers of 3, ooc
tons, with twenty knots. three tor.
pedo boats, and a signal are being
built in the imperial yard at Jokosk

HanIon's Cure For Rowdyism.

Probably there is no one in the base
ball business who is better qualified to
speak as to how rowdyism is to be sup
pressed than Manager Ed Hanlon, who
has successfully handled the Baltimores
and was in his day first class ball
player: He said recently: "Rowdyism
and fighting on the ballfield must be
stopped, and believe the magnates
will do it too. There is one remedy
which, if carried out, would stop the
trouble in short order. President Young
should be empowered to suspend any
player, umpire, manager or anybody
connected with League team who in
dulges in a fight on the field and make
him appear before the board and under
go trial. If found guilty of rowdyism,
the offender should be heavily fined or
indefinitely suspended, no matter what
club he might belong to. New York

Many of the Best Boxers In tho Country
May Take Part.
Parson Davies and Tom O'Rourke
will attempt to have boxing carnival
at Reno in few months. In letter
received from Davies few days ago by
Sam Austin the PEARSON" says that
there are several wealthy men in Chi
cago who are ready to back him for any
amount of money if he will pull off the
carnival Davies has for some time been
working quietly in regard to the car
nival and has notified Tom O'Rourke,
who is at present in San Francisco, to
double up with him so that he Can pull
it off successfully. O'Rourke has agreed
to join Davies in this new venture.
The boxers whom O'Rourke and
Davies manage will surely take part in
the carnival, and they will be matched
against some good men in San Fran
CISCO The boxers managed by o 'Rourke
and Davies are Joe Wolcott, George
Dixon, Joe Choynski and Jimmy Barry
of Chicago. 1t is thought that the bouts
which Davis is anxious to have decided
are as follows: George Dixon to meet
Jim Haggerty or Jack MCGOWAN of
Australia, Joe Wolcott to fight Tommy
West or "Kid" Lavigne, Jimmy Barry
to fight Dave Sullivan or Sammy Kelly,
and Choynski to meet the winner of the
Maher- Sharkey fight. This programme
would attract big crowd of sports
from all over the coast.-New York

YOUNG AND THE UMPlRES.
The President OF the League Says They
Are Terribly Abused.

The President of the League Says They
Are Terribly Abused.
Ii cost Tim Hurst, the umpire who
threw a glass and hit spectator at
Cincinnati, 500 for the offense in q
city court, The injured spectator has
sued the National league for the amount
of the fine. In letter to friend in
New York President N. E. Young
writes about his umpires. He says:
"The abuse that is being heaped upon
those men is fearful. Men whom /
would like to appoint decline the posi-
ton with thanks. Sheridan resigned
voluntarily He said he couldn't stand
the insults any longer. McDermott
weakened and resigned. Campbell
agreed to start in, but later telegraphed
me he would never umpire again in the
National league. l expected Connolly,
fine umpire in the New England
league, to assist Lynch, but he declined
the position with thanks.
1.-THE League umpire receives more
abuse, performs more hard work, gets
less pay and fewer thanks than any
man l know. 1t is the height Of my
ambition that the best club may win.
Messrs. Byrne and Brush have been ac-
cused of running the umpires, and yet
have heard from both of them only
once this season."
President Young has been president
of the National league for % years, and
during that time has so managed its
affairs that it is the most important and
the most successful athletic organiza-
ton in the country. There are always
two sides to the umpire question, and
the present difficulties are not so much
due to bad umpiring as bullying and
domineering by the players. New York

Joe Patchen Cured of Loafipg.

When discussing Joe Patohen's vic
tory over Star Pointer at Columbus,
much stress is laid upon the fact that

time he has had the big black fellow in
his school, that the latter, as is well
known to all who know him well, is
much inclined to loaf or Soldier" even
at critical stages of a race, had discard
ed the usual open bride he has always
worn and put on him bride with eye

a wonderful effect on him, the patter of
the contending horses feet coming close
without his seeing the horses, kept him
going of itself He seemed eager to
get away from that noise, and this is
perhaps the reason the Hal horse did
not get SO well up to his side. Horse

PORTUGALS QUEEN.

The Queen of Portugal has, dur
ing the last five years, devoted her-
self diligently to the study of medi-
cine. On many occasions she has
given her advice. and with the
most successful result, to some Of
her immediate attendants. She
has now made up her mind to
devote to the service of the poor
and wretched her medical knowl-
edge, which is undoubtedly con-
siderable. She has travelled through
Portugal, visiting hospitals, in6rm-
aries and similar establishments,
and with the cordial co. operation
of the leading members of the medi-
cal profession in Portugal has ma
tured plan of operations, which
is to be submitted to the Sanitary
Board. The Queen invites all per-
sons who wish we'll to their neigh
bors and are inclined to help them,
whether clergy, medical men, or
laity, to give what assistance they
can to her work.

FACTS ABOUT FLANAGAN.

satility as AN Athlete.
John Flanagan who broke the record
for hammer throwing at Albany recent
lv with throw of l51 feet 4 inches,
was born at Killreedy County Liner
ick, Ireland. He stands feet 91a inch
es in his shoes and has a chest meas
uremeHt of 40 inches, with 3 inches
expansion He weighs 203 pounds in
his athletic clothes, but this amount of
avoirdupois is so evenly distributed
over his body that no one would mag
inc he weighs so much. His biographer,
in the New York Athletic Club Jour
nal, says: "That Flanagan is the most
scientific weight thrower alive today
there is not the least shadow of doubt,
and experts who are competent to judge
vote him, when manipulating the mis-
sile, representative embodiment of
scientific muscular exertion. Further
more, he has, strictly speaking, com.
pletely revolutionized the game of ham
mer throwing by introducing success
fully the style of double revolution III
the circle. But it is not alone as ham,
mer thrower that Flanagan excels. In
other branches he has been pre-eminent
and has won prizes at sprinting, jump
ing and almost every game known to
modern devotees of physical culture"
