SPORTING.
Australian Jimmy Ryan Wins
From DoIglass-A Big
Match on Foot.

Thursday night full house saw what
was one of the most orderly and interest
ing fistic events that has ever occurred in
this city, when Australian Jimmy Ryan
knocked out Bobby Douglass at Music
Hall. Although he stood no show to
win, Douglass put up very game fight,
and the large crowd felt that it got the
worth of its money. Too much praise
can not be accorded Manager Andy
Mulligan and the Louisville Athletic
Club for the efficient manner in which
the affair was conducted, and it augurs
we'll for the sport in the future. Manager
Mulligan announced that arrangements
were about completed for a match be-
tween Champion Tommy Ryan, of SYRIA
cuse, and the winner of last night. The
victory was popular one.
Warner played without an error in the
last ten games.
Jones leads the Brooklyn players in
stolen bases and sacrific hits.
Seymour failed to hit safely in nine out
of thirty-one games played.

the season.

pana. Rockford is matched to box
"Pedlar" Palmer at the National Sport
ing Club, London, in October. Smith
will train Rotchford for the battle.
In making match with Dave Sullivan,
Solly Smith did very wise thing by
compelling Sullivan to post big forfeit
for appearance. In al of his contests H
Sullivan has had the good fortune to be
permitted by his opponents to go into the
ring overweight.
Joe Choynski was seen in New York
asst Saturday. The noted California
is prepared to do some fight
ng again, but he declares he will not
enter the ring until the cold weather sets

There is every prospect of match be-
ng arranged between Charley Golf and
Tommy Ryan, to be decided at a new
Tub organized lately at Syracuse. Ryan
vas asked whether he would meet Golf
md has sent word accepting. If all the
letails can be satisfactorily arranged the
flair will be brought to close.

without unbalanCIng The cork. This is a
trick often done by professors of magic.
Another pretty trick Is possible with
the same cork, forks and bottle, only a
needle must be pushed head first into
the cork exactly in the center, leaving
the point downward. A piece of money
is then laid over the mouth OF the bottle
and the cork with its two forks Is stood
upon the money. Then push one of the
forks hard, but without jerking, and they
Will swing around In a circle for a long
time. flower or other device on top OF

Another interesting trick is to lift a de-
canter half hled with water by a bent
straw. This would seem impossible. but
ii Is not. The decanter should have a mar

The Principle of Inertia.
BY applying the principle of inertia we
may produce a number OF interesting tricks
that will amuse and perhaps instruct some
Of the big folks as well as the children.
One trick requires an old broomstick, saw
ed off at the broom end. Two paper rings
about twelve inches in diameter are made
by FASTING together slips Of writing paper

razors should be held by two persons, each
holding one on the same level with the
sharp edge upward. over these the paper
rings are to be passed and the broomstck
suspended by these paper rings. The per-
former then takes strong stick and
strikes tie broomstick a sharp, strong
blow in the middle, and 1t breaks Instant
~ without tearing the paper rings or caus-
ing them to cut on the razors
Or this can be done by sticking needle
IN each end of the broomsticlS and resting
the needles on the edges of glass goblets

struck In the middle breaks the stick with
out moving the supports. A pile OF check
ers may be put on the table and by one
blow with the edge of a knife the cen
ter or even the bottom one may be re-
moved without disturbing the others.

Take the shell off the egg. Then push
piece of paper down into the decanter

you see that the paper is nearly consum-
ed, put the egg on the mouth of the de-
canter like a cork, small end down. In
a few minutes the air outside presses the

by the burning paper and the atmospheric
pressure get the egg through and it falls
90 the bottom and regains its own shape.
We viii not discuss the question Of get
ing the egg out again.
In "a Paper BOX.
Two more tricks based upon the con-
Quoting power Of metals, and the power
OF absorption Of heat by water: One may
take a small but powerful alcohol lamp
and stand 1t on the table. An ordinary
playing card with the edges bent up has a
piece Of lead about as large as half a
dollar put in the center. This card Is then
held directly over the flame Of the lamp
and IN a few minutes the lead Is melted
and the card is not injured ia the least

paper box Is folded as all school children
know now, into square box about an
inch deep and two square. Cords are fast

fecty level. Light the alcohol lamp and

scientific principles, but when properly
done look like magic. A couple Of clever

TRAP SHOOTING TOURNAMENT.
Interesting Events at Capital City
Gun Clubs Monday Meet.

Local sportsmen who find no chance be-
tween the snipe and the ortolan season to
enjoy themselves with hammerless dou-
bie-barrel except an occasional sweltering
shoot at woodcock are congratulating each
other over the admirable opportunities now
presented to keep themselves in practice by
the Capital City Gun Club.
The securing of the beautiful grounds at
1.-The Highlands, convenient by the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad and fine roads for
driving and bicycling. has stirred up wide
spread interest among those who have a
gun. and the excellent arrangements FOR
trap shooting. both at clay pigeons and
live birds, have made all the old-timers re-
new the eagerness of early days. There
was a large attendance at the practice
shoot of the club and its friends last Sat-
urday, and the crowd at the coming shoot
Saturday will be even larger.
Monday. Decoration day. an all-day tour
nament will be held, the events being at
both clay and live pigeons for substantial
prizes offered by the club. The organza-
ton, it should be remembered, is not at all
selfish, but extends a warm welcome to all
gentlemen sportsmen who desire to partici-
pate in the Saturday practice shoots, while
the tournaments of course, are open to all
recognized Sportsmen.
