after A MATCH.
BacIkers of Jack Have Trou-
bile In Arranging a Contest.

BacIsers of Jack ScaniOn Have Trou-
bile In Arranging a Contest.
Jack Scanlon and his hackers came
down from Scio to attend the M. A. c.
entertainment last night and incident
ally to try to make a match for Scanlon
with some boxer Weighing from 1873 to
140 pounds. They expected to close an
agreement with Walter Burgo, but
Burgo's manager declined to make q
side bet or to post a forfeit to guaran-
tee appearance. 1t was suggested that
Tim O'Leary would meet Scanlon.
Scanlon's hackers offer this PROPOSE
ton to O'Leary, OF to any other boxer
who comes within the weight limit:
They will made a match for from $50
to $500 a side, winner to take entire re-
ceipts; or, they will make a match for
entire receipts, without the side bet. If
the challenge is accepted they request
the deposit of a forfeit in the hands of
the sporting editor of the Register as a
guarantee of good faith.
Ccanlon is willing to meet Ed. Ken
nedy, who won last nights battle, or
any other boxer at the weight. The
Shawnee Athletic Club will offer a good
purse, and Scanlon's hackers prefer TO
have the fight pulled off there. but will
accept any other club, stipulating, how
ever. that the winner take the entire
purse, or fighters end of the receipts.
Scanlon and his hackers mean business
and should not experience much trou-
BILE in making a match.

TIN R K OF WALES.
MANY WELSHMEN WOULD LIKE TO
RETURN TO THEIR NATIVE

RETURN TO THEIR NATIVE
LIND
The closing down and short runs of
the tin mills all over the country has
made the son of Wales cast a glance
back to his old home, where to-day all
the mills are working. In talking to a
prominent Welsh tin worker, he said
if he was only back to his native land
he could be working every day, as mills
that had not worked for years were
working now and the old wages Of 1874,
known as the "seventy-four scale" was
in full force in every mill. This scale
was when tin workers of Wales were
enjoying their best wages, and from
that date all have been reductions,
which drove them to this country. He
stated in regard to living and COM
pairing the wages of this country, that
a man would save more money across
the waters. Many Of the Welsh would
go back had they the means, but being
out of work so much, they have not the
money and still hope that the mills
will soon resume

until Gardner had slowly counted on
the fatal ten. Auber injured his hand
in the final round.
Preparations were at once made for
the main bout, and it was twenty min
utes later when the principals crawled
through the ropes, followed by their
attendants. RED" Mason and Louden
Campbell were in Kennedy's corner,
and Walter Burgo and Hughy Arnold
were behind McNabD.
Walter Burgo, of Boston, challenged
the winner.
When the two advanced to the cen
ter, the crowd compared them. Ken
nedy had several inches the advantage
in height, but McNabb was of a more
sturdy build.
In the first round they opened up
fercely. Eddie sent his left to the
body, and they closed in and punched
hard on the body with arm free.
In the break, McNabb slipped to the
floor. Kennedy put right on jaw, and
McNabb missed a vicious swing for the
head. Eddie forced him to the ropes,
put right on the jaw, and the colored
boy dropped. He was up again, and
went down a few seconds later from a
jab on the body. McNabb took sew
eral seconds to rise, and then struck
out wildly, while Kennedy went in for
the body, and the colored boy dropped
again. He was on the floor when the
bell sounded, and was badly winded
when he went to his corner
Kennedy opened up the second by
sending in a terrific right on the ribs,
and some fast and vicious work fol-
lowed. Eddie rushed, and McNabb
dropped without a blow. Eddie contin-
ued his fast work, jabbing his right to
the body, and McNabb dropped twice.
McNabb tried vainly to stop Kennedy's
terrific rushes, falling repeatedly and
taking full advantage of the referees
count. 1t looked like a mere question
of time. Kennedy sent a right hand
lab over the heart just before the gong
sounded, and the colored boy fell fiat
on his stomach, taking nine seconds
to rise. The gong saved him at this
juncture.
When they advanced in the third
round, Kennedy rushed over to Nc
Nabb's corner. They clinched, and
Kennedy threw him to the floor. The
Pittsburg boy kept after his man like
an Infatuated bull, working both hands
so rapidly and so effectively that the
colored hoy was dazed n completely
at his mercy. McNabb made no at
tempt 1t aggressive work, contenting
himself with a vain effort to stop Ken
nedy's rushes. Kennedy pushed and
jabbed, and the Buffalo lad looked
tired and ready to quit. His swings
and counters all fell short or went too
far. Kennedy finally hooked his right
squarely to the jaw, and McNabb fell
fiat on his stomach. 1t is hardly likely
that he was out; that he was whipped,
and whipped to a standstill, was GER
tain. He made no effort to regain his
feet, and Gardner slowly counted him
out. The crowd had already started
for the door in the second round, on
account of McNabb's weak defense.

The National Council of Women,
while in session in Washington a few
days ago. devoted the greater part of
,ne afternoon to the discussion Of dress
reform. Women who are making that
part Of woman's life a study, ayerred
that the movement toward more ra-
hOnal views in dress was becoming
pronounced, although, like all reforms,
1t could only be accomplished slowly.
1ne most striking changes consisted Of
the short skirt us an athletic and rainy
day costume. modification of the lac
ing habit. apd the growing sentiment
against the use of birds and their
plumage on hats. The council recon-.
mendS the disuse of mourning, but as
yet sees no great progress in this line
Of dress reform. Beauty, comfort and
nodesty were laid down as essential
parts of a woman's costume.
