Ed. Dunkhorst of Syracuse lost to Peter
Maher in the seventh round of what was
to have been a ten-round go before the
Monarch Athletic Club at Syracuse last
night a foul.
The rules under which the men fought
stipulated that they should break clean al
the command of the referee. When Dunk
horst saw that he was bound to be whipped
he deliberately violated this rule and, after
repeated warning, the referee gave the de-
cision to Maher. Dunkhorst never had a
chance. He was completely Outpointed by
but could not put him out. The fighting was
not very hot until the sixth round, when
Maher opened with voley of blows that
would have ended the fight had his oppo-
nent been more vulnerable man than
Dunkhorst. DunkhOrst began fouling, how
ever, and lost the decision

ROBBED IN A LONDON HOTEL
Mrs. st0ckweii of New York Loses
JeweIry and Cash

A dispatch from London last night saws.
Late this afternoon it was announced that
a sensational burglary had taken place YES
terday at the Savoy Hotel, London. whore
the room of Mrs. StockweH of New York
widow of New York jeweler, was entered
ana robbed, 1t Is understood, of jewelry val
ued at 10000 and bank notes and other
negotiable currency to the amount of 70 OOO
Mrs. Stockwell has been staying at the
hotel for some time with a nephew. The
apartment was entered while they were at
dinner On returning to the room Mrs.
Stockwell found the door locked on the
inside. An alarm was raised and the door
fCrced. The room was found empty but
1t had been thoroughly rarisacked
me management took prompt measures,
had the hotel doors closed, summoned de-
tectives and searched all strangers and
servants. Nothing, however, was discover
ed. The burglars had escaped, the thick
fog enabling them to get away
Several detectives from Bow street and
Scotland Yard are hard at work on the
case but thus far there is no trace of the
thieves. Mrs. Stockwell declines to discuss
the matter.

| features if you can, but-secure markets.
Where natural conditions directly favor
| the production by one country Of a certain
| commodity by one. Il seems at first sight
| quite reasonable that the price should be
| thereby lowered, and the country enabled
to undersell its rivals. But We all know
| that nowadays tariffs and bounties go far
| to destroy this advantage, and, besides the
export of raw materials and worknen is
the deadly foe of monopoly in special manu-
| facture. Indeed, if the facilities for the
transportation of the raw material and the
| finished product continue TO expand and
the cost decrease at the ratio to which
we have of late been accustomed, 1t may
be said that very soon no country Will be
able to produce any given article, With a
few executions of a better quality than an
other. and at a less price only when the
bulk of the market is in Its hands. This
being the prospect, 1t will be found more
and more necessary, in order that national
prosperity shall accrue, to ensnare rather
than earn patronage a basis Of pure
merit.
If A and both produce an article,
whether 1t is machinery or patent medl-
cine superior to C's the cost of production
being the same. 1t is yet possible Cor c to
secure the vastly preponderant market. We
see that the practices of advertisement,
hitherto confined to single firms. are now
being resorted to by the combined national
industries of the nation. We do not need

the Bachelors Tennis Club of this city and
the Gainesville Country Club will be play
ed tomorrow on the courts of the Bache-
lors' Club, on NJ street between 18th and
Connecticut avenue. Games will start

scented by its six crack players, and the
Gainesville club members say they are GO
ing to send over a number of "rooters.'
The Bachelors won five out of six matches
in singles and two out of three in doubles
in the first tourney. Gainesville has had
good weather recently and should be in
shape to make it pretty warm for the
Bachelors. though the Bachelors are in
good condition and confident of doing as
well as they did at Gainesville. The play
ers representing the Gainesville Club are
Farber, Smith, James, Haigh, Yearley and
Theobald, and will meet in order the Bach
elors' representatives. Davidson, Clarence
Wilson, Glazebrook, Parkes, Ted Wilson

There will be no admission charged to the
grounds. and the Bachelors extend a cor
dial invitation to lovers of tennis. In case
Of rain the games will be postponed until
Saturday.

QUITE DISCOURAGED.
Gloomy Foot Ball Prospects at Mary
land Agricultural College.

Owing to the injury of Captain Cooke of
the Maryland Agricultural College foot
ball team he will be compelled to retire for
the balance of the season. Owing to this
fact and the poor showing made against
the Western Maryland team at College
Park Saturday a week ago the cadets are
very discouraged over the prospects. AS
Cooke was decidedly the best player on the
team 1t Will be badly handicapped by his
absence. Prof. II. A. Harrison who has
mad charge Of the athletic department, says
tho team Will complete the schedule of
games, and, 1t is hoped, will make a re-
spectacle showing. Mr.. S. II. Harding, an
alumnuS of the college, and regarded as one
OF the best general athletes the college
ever mad. Is working the men theoretically.
A second team has been organized, and a
practice game is being played every after
noon on the campus. The absence of a
regular coach for the team, composed for
the most part of inexperienced men, has
resulted detrimen ally and the teams de-
feat at the hands of the Western Mary
land College has discouraged the men very
much. Mr.. Harding has instilled new life
INTO the team, and great Improvement in
team work is expected. At the beginning
of the season DIR. Walsh of the University
of Virginia was engaged to coach the team
ana. 1t is alleged, be gave little time to the
work. The great difficulty. it is said, is the
absence of funds TO compensate a regu-
larry qualified coach. a'he president of the
college has been appealed to, but without
avail, as there are absolutely no moneys
OF which an expenditure could be made.
The members are somewhat d1Sgruntled
over the lack of financial aid given college
athletics, and claim they should receive
the same aid as given other colleges of the
state with whom they are competing for
the championship Prof. Harrison states
that every effort will be made to bring out
a strong base ball team next season Mary
lang Agricultural college has always been
foremost in athletics. and has held the in
tercolegiate championship in the state for
both foot ball ana base ball a number of
times

base ball rivalry exists, resulting in the de-
velopment of the much sought for esprit de
corps. This is the end sought for by ''Fa-
Their Chadwick, and to him belongs the
idea of developing sports among our SOL
diers. OF course, our troops now play ball
when opportunity presents itself. but all the
paraphernalia secured is at the expense of
the boys in blue. The war office in Eng

the English soldier as carefully as to the

eminent adopt the suggestion. it is claimed
