JEFFRI ES- -FITZSIHMONS GO.
1t is Postponed From Memorial Day to
,Iune 1,

New York, May 1.-THE selection Of
Memorial day as the date for the big
fight between Jim Jeffries and Bob F1tz-
simmons before the Coney Island Ath-
letic club aroused so much opposition
among sporting men that the managers
of the club and the managers of the
fighters met to-day to discuss the mat
ter. 1t was argued that Decoration day
is usually a big sporting day, when there
are many events of interest scheduled,
and that to hold the fight on that day
would mean a smaller attendance and
smaller gate receipts. 1t was decided
finally to postpone the fight until June
9th. The arrangement was satisfactory
to all concerned George Siler of Chi
cago, who refereed the Corbett-F -Fitzsim-
mons fight at Carson City, has been Sc
lected to act in the same capacity on
June 9.

the Tigers to-day by a score of 8 to ).

ond inning Brown got an earned run
and scored three runs in the third
Princeton also got three runs in the
third. Princeton got no more, but in
the ninth Brown added two runs.
Washburn pitched part of the game for
Brown, but was replaced after the third

ANNUAL BANQUET
OF tuesday Musical Club at Silver
Lake.

a very pleasant outing Wednesday
evening was that of the Tuesday Mu-
steal club at Silver Lake park. Mem
bers of the club and their friends, to
the number of 200, attended and the
evening passed away merrily with
banqueting, singing and boating.
The banquet was prepared by the
women of the club, who went to the
park at 8 80 in the afternoon, and ar
ranged the spread on the tables in
one of the large dining halls. The
men arrived at the. park about
O'Clock, when the banquet was
served.
The steam boat was chartered and
an hour or SO was spent on the lake.
Plantation songs and choruses were
sung and the music was given an ad-
ditional sweetness as it f1oated out
over the water.
The only thing occurring to mar
the pleasure of the event was when
Miss Angie Walters tainted. Some
time was required in restoring her to
consciousness. Miss Waters has
been in delicate health for some
tim, but she is not much the worse of
the outing today.

Davidson Charges His Name
Was Forged.
Sensation DeveIoped-Wife's
Court News.

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber COM
pany claims that three of its Chicago
agents attempted to defraud it of
$3,432.45.
The company alleges that John B.
Perrine, Max Lowenstine and one
Moses, first name unknown, doing
business under the firm name of the
Cycle Repair Co, have absconded,
for the purpose of defrauding their
creditors.
The local corporation filed petit
tion in Common Pleas court Thurs

against the firm for the amount
named: The company says it holds
a check for s3,432.45, signed by the
three defendants. When presented
for payment it was returned endorsed

company seeks the judgment. The
allegations of fraud are made by F.

pany has property belonging to the
defendants which he wants applied
on the payment of the plaintiffs
claim.

promisory note. On the note appears
the signature of Robert Davidson.

he never signed the paper. While w.
B. Sykes was on the stand, the at
torneys for Davidson attempted to
show that the signature was forg-
cry. He was asked if he did not
draw up the note himself. He was
then asked if Davidson's signature
was not in his (Sykes) writing. The
attorneys for Mrs. Sheldon objected
to this line of examination. 1t de-
veloped during the hearing that w.
B. Sykes, one of the defendants, was
arrested for the alleged embeZZle-
ment of $1,000, funds of Richfield
township. He was never tried ON
