Given the Decision in His Fight
With Lavigne
THE LATTER WAS GROGGY
When His Brother Jumped Into thu
Ring to Prevent a Knockout
flight Was Lively.

San Francisco, March 10.-Billy La
vigne, brother of Kid Lavigne, jumped
into the ring in the Nth round of the
Smith-Lavigne fight tonight and Referee
Mcdonald was forced to give the deci-
sion to Smith. The end came so sud
denly and unexpectedly that the big
crowd was for a time at a loss to under
stand the situation. The cause of Billy
.Lavigne's action was the fact that
George had received a couple of solid
blows from Smith on the jaw and was
palpahly ratified and somewhat groggy.
His brother, seeing his condition and
fearing a Knockout. out of brotherly
sympathy and family pride, jumped
through the ropes and placed his arm
about his brothers shoulder, declaring
he would never see George Inundated by
a Knockout. AS the seconds action was
a clear violation of the rules governing
glove contests. Referee Jim Mcdonald
had no other alternative than to decide
in favor of Smith. While Lavigne was
getting the worst of the mixes in this
round, he was not out of it, and might
a stayed the round had his brothers
interference not brought the fight to a
technical close. The fight was a fast
and vicious one from the start. In the
very beginning Smith violated the agree
ment not to strike in the clinches, foul
ing repeatedly. He was warned again
and again by the referee, Mcdonald fin
ally telling him that if he violated the
rules again he would give the fight to
Lavigne. After this Smith was more eau
tiOus, but both men struck in the
clinches throughout the fight. Lavigne
had the advantage by a slight margin up
to the final round. He did all the leading
and forcing, and while Smith did not
break ground readily he waited for La
vigne's leads and countered hard with
his right on the body, giving particular
attention to the kidneys. In the 18th La
hammered away at the face until he re-
ceived the blows that brought about the
finish in the 14th round.
Smith made his appearance at 9:15.
Behind him We're Aleck G~reggains, Tim
McGrath and Billy Hennessy. He was
coldly received. L%avigne followed a mo-
ment later and was greeted with wild
cheers. His seconds were Billy Lavigne,
Teddy Alexander and Young MITCHELL"
A Wrangle arose over a bandage on
Smiths left hand, but Lavigne ave way
and consented to it's remaining. They
agreed to break away clean. Time
was called at $3.50.

APPROPRIATION
FOR IRON FOUNDRY

New York, March ia special dis
patch to the Tribune from Washington
says: The Japanese government evil
IDENTIFY intends to engage in the iron and
steel business on a large scale, and to
that end it is making liberal appropriate
tons and generous expenditures to es-
tablish a plant. Consul General Convey,
at Yokohama, has forwarded to the state
department an article published in the
Japan Times of January 81, Of which the
following is a synopsis:
The expenditure for the esta blishmant
of an iron foundry in Flu Kuoka pre-
lecture, as approved by the imperial diet,
amounted to a little owe 1000, 900 yen
(about 81, 200, 000), as a starting fund, to
be met by a portion of the indemnity and
floating loan ponds This starting fund,
with the approval OF the twelfth session
of the diet, was increased to 10, 0O0, 900 yen
($5, 600 1000, in round figures. The gov
rnmen has further applied to the cur
rent session of the diet for the appro-
priation Of an additional sum of 8 5000 900
yen ($1 SEQ ,00U toward the expenditure in
question, thus making the total amount
of the capital for the establishment of
the government iron foundry, 10, 202, 900
yen ($9, COL ,00O.

SAIL
FOR THE SOUTH

New York, March 1.-Two govern
ment transports will sail today, one for
San Juan, Ponce and Santiago, the other
for Havana. The Buford sails in the
regular weekly service to the former
ports, from Pier No. q, Brooklyn, to
which she was moved yesterday to allow
the Logan, with the Forty-seventh regi-
ment, to come up to the government pier.
The Meade sails for Havana with mis-
cellaneou %sstores, a small number of re-
cruits, and it is believed with Paymaster
Carey and the So, 900, 600 with which he is
to pay the Cuban troops. The Logan
will probably be here until Thursday,
long enough to make a few temporary
alterations and repairs. She is under or
ders to sail for Nuevitas and Havana, at
which ports she will receive returning
volunteer regiments, WHICH she will
bring back to Newport News. At the
latter port the Logan will tie up for sew
eral weeks and be remodeled after the
pattern of the Grant and the Sherman.

SPORTING GOSSIP.

The fact that a number of German and
Jewish boxers of late have been taking
Irish names in order to get on matches
in the prize ring, was the occasion of a
funny incident at George Gamers place
in Buffalo the other day, says the Ref
cree in the Boston Traveller. On the day
in question a party composed of Garner,
Jimmy Collins, the well-knoWn member
of the Boston baseball team, Elt Cham
berlain and a umbe of others We're
holding forth in Gamers, when Cham
berlain started an argument by assert
ing that in order to make a success at al
most any kind of a came one had to be
an Irishman or take an Irish name, and
then tried to prove his argument by
showing up the leaders of prize fighting,
baseball, rowing, sprlnting and finally
ending up with Mullen, who won the bill
lard championship in New York recent
ly. Well, Garner tried to prove that the
Germans were as much to the good as
the Irish, and mentioned bowling as one
game the Germans eXcelled in.
"Oh, I don't know" said Chamberlain,
what is the matter with this man Col
Inns who was with the all-star team? He
was a pretty warm proposition, and led
the whole crowd. And right here in Buff
falo about the best player you have here
is a man named O'Meara. He belongs to
the Imperials, l think He holds the in
dividual local record for this year Of
three games. Those fellows are not Ger
mans, if their names don't lie"
In the party was a ~well-known florist,
who prides himself on his nationality and
his blue German blood. He didn't like
the turn of affairs and started to protest,
when Garner took Collins and the florist
aside and said:
Here's a chance to get back at Cham
berlain, On the square think he be-
longs to the A. P. A, and is only max
Ing this bluff in order to stand in. Here,
take $20," he said to the florist. You go
up and bet him that the best man on the
Boston baseball team is a German. OF
course, he will tumble it means Collins
and jump at the chance, and to make 1t
stronger we will tell him to name the
man. If he says Collins, we will say
that there is just where we have him,
for Jimmie's name is Schultz, and, like
Sammy Callahan and others, he only
took an Irish name to max a record. OF
course, Chamberlain will laugh and
spout, and then We will leave it to Col
