clot on the brain. resulting from over
exertion while in an unit physical con-
dition. Peppers was arrested as soon
as it became apparent that Meals con-
dition was serious, and is now in jail
in default of $1,000 bonds. The battle
which resulted in Meals death took
place at the Adelphi theatre and was a
six-round contest for a purse. Neal
was given two weeks notice, but when
he appeared in the ring. he was fat
and flabby. and his condition caused
comment. There was little fighting be-
kept his stocky opponent constantly on
the move, and when the sixth round
was called, he was putting badly.
After minutes sparring, Peppers
landed a light right on Meals ear. The
blow unbalanced the st. Louis man,
and as he reeled sideways one of his
feet slipped off the platform and he
fell to the floor of the ring. Referee
George Siler had just finishd counting
ten when Neal rolled out of the ring
on to the floor. his head striking with
a noise that was heard throughout the
theatre. He was up a moment later
but soon after being assisted to his
pressing room he became unconscious
and remained so until he died.
Neal was we'll known in pugilistic cir
cles. Among his important battles was
a knockout of Billy Stiff several years
ago. He was defeated two months ago
by Tommy Ryan.
Police officials say that no further
arrests will be made in the case, for
the present at least.

Duke of York's Fortunate Reply.
(HOuSehold Words

The old Duke of York, whose effigy
in Roman robes looks down from the
top of the column that bears his name
upon the Mail in st. James park, was
once commander-in-chief, and being Of
tanned the officers under his command.
The duke could empty his two or three
bottles with the greatest ease on festive
occasions, and the military of the Pc
Rod were no laggardS in this respect,
either.
On one occasion the empty bottles
had accumulated inconveniently, and,
the duke called to a servant, Take
away these marineSi'' Now, a diStin-
guished officer of marines was present,
and it must be owned that to be hk-i
ened, as to ones corps, to an empty
bottle is by no means pleasant. May
ask your royal highness for an eX-
PLANTATION of that phrase?" said the
undaunted representative Of the sail
ors and soldiers, too" Now, the duke.
it was we'll known, was the last man
in the world to take refuge behind his
dignity as royal highnesS, or even his
exalted rank in the service. ''I wear
blue coat. and you know where to
find me- he had written to Colonel
Lennox, when there was quarrel be-
tween them. and he had gone OUT
with the colonel as if he had been ordy
plain Major Dobbin. But on this Oc
casion a readiness of wit, which was
not usual with him, saved the situs-
ton. They have done their duty" he
said. land are ready to do it again.
That's why 1 call 'em marines."

Both boats made a number of short
bitches, but as they were half a mile
apart, little could be judged of their
comparative speed. The Columbia was
to the windward and seemed to gain on
the Defender, pointing higher and out
footing her. Just after the two boats
had tackled to the port under the
Jamestown shore, the Columbia was
eased off. and running down toward
the Defender took a position on the De-
tenders weather quarter. Captain
Barr, of the Columbia, berthed the
new boat in the worst possible position
for a race and with the two yachts
scarcely fifty yards apart the first real
brush to windward between the old and
the new boats was on.
Captain Barr gave the Columbia a
good rap full. while Captain Rhoads,
on the Defender. did not try to pinch
out a head. 1t was fair, honest test
of the sailing merits of the two boats
under fiattened sheets. The Defender
had plenty of room to reach out ahead
of her rival and only required the
necessary speed to do it That she
failed in the attempt to do it must be
source of great qualification to
American yachtsmen in general and
her owners and builders in particular.

three minutes after Captain Barr
started after the Defender, he blanket
ed her and in five minutes time he was
well out ahead. Both boats stood over
toward Fort Adams, and then the
main sails of the Columbia came down
and she was headed for an anchorage
outside the torpedo station, while the
entire North Atlantic squadron and a
n1 in
Guiding Commodore Morgan's flagship
Corsair, gave her a silent welcome

in and anchored near the Columbia and

between Ephraim and Mt Pleasant
yesterday at Castillo was won by the
latter by a score of 30 TO 20. 1t was an
exciting one. The diamond was in a
most unsatisfactory condition. this
fact accounting for the large number
of runs. Ephraim took the lead and
kept it strongly until about the fifth
inning, when they went TO pieces and
the boys from this city pulled in away
ahead of them.

is A DYED-IN-wooL AMERICAN.
Champion Jeffries Born In Ohio and
Bred In California.


Many stories have been printed in re-
gard to the birthplace of James ]. JEFF
fries, the new heavyweight champion
pugilist of the world. Some have rep
resented him as a Canadian, others as
an Irishman. AS a matter of fact, he
is dyed-in-the-wool American. He
was born in Carroll, o., and reared in
Los Angeles, Cal, where he was taken
by his parents when he was only .
years of age. Jeffries has the distinc-
ton of being the only American cham
pion heavyweight pugilist since the
days of John c. Heenan. He can boast
of three generations of Americana born
ancestors.
The California Hercules is also the
youngest man to hold the title of cham
pion pugilist of the world. He is a
younger man by one year than John L.
Sullivan when he won the champion
ship from Paddy Ryan at Mississippi
Jeffries is the biggest and cleverest pu-
gilist that ever reached the top notch
of fame in his profession. He stands
six feet one and half inches and
weighs, when in fighting condition, 212
pounds, which is eight pounds heavier
than Sullivan used the enter the ring
when in his prime. He is also taller
by three inches than John L. His
reach is greater than any other pugilist
before him. 1t is seventy-siX and one
half inches, and one inch more than
FitZsimmons.
The heavy shoulder development
necessary to success in a great fighter
is Jeffries' in great quantity. and with
a seventeen and one-half inch neck his
head is poised on his shoulders to stay
His whole makeup is simply marvel
lous, and he is considered one of the
most perfect men in the ring today.
JeffrieS is indeed a wonderful fighter.
He is young, ambitious. full of pluck,
and, judging from the way he mastered
Fitzsimmons in their recent battle. the
will rest safely in his
hands for some time to come
