WASHINGTON CHICKENS WON

Main Last Night,

cooking main between game stays our
GU IN Warrenton, Virginia, and this CITY
was pulled off last night just outside the
district line in Maryland. The main as or
isinally arranged provided for fifteen fights
at soo hight and $500 on the main Owing,
10 the inability to evenly match SO many
pairs, 1t was agreed by the principals to
make the main eleven sights, same condi-
lions. There was a large attendance of
chicken fanciers, sports and club men and
considerable money changed hands. The

LICK Lee Who handled the victorious cocks
IN the recent match between John Mackin

ne added another win to his long and re-
Gently unbroken list. The southern birds
We're handled by A. p. Conner, who has
peen hitherto reputed as invincible in his
calling. AIS
The stays were all good ones and the
nights exciting. The Washington birds won
SIX out OF the first nine fights, and as this
was majority of the main the owner of
the Virginia birds, much to the disgust of
the crowd, declined to pit for the remain
ing two fights.
The sixth battle was said to be the long
est and hardest fought ever witnessed in
TINS vicinity, and was won by the local
bird. The main began at $50 o'clock last
night, and the last fight was not concluded
until after daybreak this morning

ming from the Eastern High School team
by the score of II to Z. Both teams ffelded
poorly, but the batting of the Hamiltons
was something to be remembered, homers
and triples coming their way with almost
monotonous regularity, and for a change
singles would be ripped off. McQuade led
the Hamltons at the bat, having a homer
and three singles, while Mastin in center
field made several sensational catches.
Stewart, Carroll and Dunn fielded well for
the Easterns considering the hard hitting
they faced, but the school boys weakness
at the bat was the cause of their downfall.
Score.

WISCONSIN UNIVERSITY EIGHT.
Rowing Giants of an Average HeicI,,
of Over Six Feet

The varsity crew of the University of
wisconsin arrived at Poughkeepsie, N. Y.
yesterday afternoon from Madison and
went to CornelTs old quarters, which the
wisconsin men are to use this year. Coach
McConville says the men are in excellent
condition
A large majority of the people in POUCH
keepsie are Cornell partisans, and the an
pearance of the giants from Wisconsin
seemed to disconcert them As they
stepped off the train they represented an
average height of feet 1 IA inches. while
one man stood feet 1-2 inches and an
other feet inches in his stockings In
weight the crew does not average as much
as that of Columbia. although the men are
heavier than those of Cornell or Pennsyl-
vania-
The Wisconsins come confident in the fact
that their stroke which landed them a
close third at Saratoga will bring them
to the front in the coming contest. They
claim to have beaten the intercollegiate
record on their home course, and that they
can do 1t the Hudson. 1t is a curious
fact that the enemy that the westerners
fear worst is not Cornell. the three-year
victor of the Hudson, but Pennsylvania
which has to its credit only the single vic
tory al Saratoga last year. The Wisconsins
are not new in the boat

Maher sized his man up quickly and went
for him straightaway. There was appar-

punch on the breast and right cross to
the jaw were the only blows struck. and
these were delivered by Maher The blow
that Maher landed on the jaw was INSULT

Morrissey had a retinue of handlers when
he reached the ringside, and said he weigh

The moment that the men shaped it was
clearly evident that Morrissey was afraid
and that Maher had the easiest task ever
given him in his fighting career Both

went right to his man. Morrissey fell in
a neutral corner and lay there resting on
his right elbow, while Maher strutted about
the ring until the referee counted of ten
seconds. Maher then walked to his corner
and the master of ceremonies announced
that Maher had won and that the time of
the bout was thirty-five seconds.
