During the first six rounds Hogan

Jacks face, while Mac played for the

terrific right on the jaw, flooring
Hogan for nine seconds. The gong

VERY EASY.
Things That Can be Done without Much
Trying.

1t IS easy to be cheerful when one has
all he wants.
1t is easy by careless word to shatter
reputation, but how hard it is TO make
proper amends.
1t is easy to criticize a work of art
much easier than to produce one. That
IS one reason why critics are so plentiful.
1t is easy to tell a man not to worry
when his mind is burdened with a thous-
and cares. The fellow who makes the
suggestion does not have to carry the load
1t is easy to make list of remedies for
the bodily troubles incident to winter
but 1t IS not SO easy to select those that
are really worth buying.
1t is easy to see why Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey is so highly priced, and is a
standby in the family.
This wonderful preparation has saved
the lives of thousands and it may save
yours. 1t is to-day preserving the health
of countless individuals. The Government
admits that it is the only medicinal whis-
key because it is the only whiskey which
the Government insists upon affxing a
revenue stampt to, thus certifying that it
is medicinal whiskey. No other known
whiskey is so regarded

Grand Rapids is on line with Buff

good base ball city, especially with a
good team, and Manager Lotus has
just the kind of team to work Grand
Rapids up to the right pitch. In any
event, Columbus will be dropped by
the Western league" Don't you think
the game could be made to pay in the
Capital City?' after last years ex
perience, it strikes me that Columbus
won't do was the reply. Last year
they had splendid team. They were
right up with us in the race. We
went to Columbus for a series of
games just when the race was the
most exciting. We were up close to
the top. When we got out of our ON
nibus to begin practice it looked like
there wasn't going to be anybody IN
the game. l took the pains to count
the audience. There were just II peo-
pie on the seats. We had pretty near
ly as many players in uniform as there
were spectators on the grounds. The
trouble with Columbus is that the
ball park is too far out. Another
thing, they call the games too early.
1t is not certain that we will get to
play this season on our last seasons
grounds The matter will be settled
next week"

Special to the Register.
Springfield, O.. February 24.-From
present indications Springfield will
soon have a new base ball club, as
$500 has been pledged by w. R. Bur
nett, J. A w Morrow, S. L. Nelson,
the Springfield Street Railway Com
pany, D. W. Carter and Jacob Hinkle,
all prominent men. They favor the
employment OF a responsible agent to
handle the finances and another to
manage the team. From what NJ. d.
Levy, one of the most substantial mer-
chants of the city, said tonight, the
business men are ready to come for
ward and do their share. 1t is re-
ported that Columbus may secure the
Grand Rapids franchise. If this is
true another city will have to be Sc
cured to make ten club league.
"Chick" Crane, of Louisville, has
signed to play the coming season with
the Dayton team of the Interstate
league. He will probably be played in
the outfeld. He is a fast youngster.
The Mansfield management has de-
cided to issue season tickets which will
entitle the holder to admission to
seventy championship games (the
number according to schedule to be
played during the season of 1899 on
the home grounds). The tickets will
be in a neatly bound book containing
seventy coupons, detachable and trans
ferable, and will admit the holder TO
the grounds and grand stand, or with
horse and carriage. Price, $50 for the
seventy tickets, payable one-half April

| A club in Cincinnati has offered
purse of $1,000 for a contest between
Gus Rubin and Jim Corbett, to be lin
tied to ten rounds. Rubin has ac-
cepted, and Corbett is yet to be heard

to meet Tom Sharkey in Chicago next
month and is training SO as to be in
condition in case the bout comes off.
A San Francisco telegram says:
''If l win from Choynski l would like
to get q return match with Sharkey,
but l am afraid he will not meet me-"
said Kid Mccoy. That second round
of cur recent fight was too close a
thing for him. So far as Sharkey per-
sonally is concerned, l feel like giving
him every credit for defeating me, but
at the same time considerable tricki-
ness was displayed by those behind

a fellow came to me and said he was
the Lenox Clubs Official doctor and
that he was empowered to make a
physical examination of NE so as to
determine if l was in proper condition
for hard fight. He shook his head
and looked wise and told me above all
not to allow Sharkey to strike me any,
where around the heart. as it might
prove fatal | told him that | did not
propose to allow Sharkey to strike me
anywhere if l could help it. 1t was
clearly an attempt to scare me, but it
didn't work. Another trick was work
