Pittsburg, Pa, January 16.-John o.
Cavanaugh, of Pittsburg, and John
Finnegan, late of Wheeling, heavy
weights, went twenty rounds to a de-
cision tonight at the New Lenox Club,
Mount Oliver. Leslie Pearce, of
Wheeling, Paddy Sheehan and George
Plante seconded F%innegan, and Cav
anaugh was attended by Louden Camp
bell, McClelland and Kirwan, the local
l~ightweights.
The first, third and thirteenth
rounds, in which Finnegan took the
initiative, were distinctly his, al
though Cayanaugh drew first blood in
the third. The balance of the contest
was Cavanaugh's by virtue of leading
heavily and countering, the latter ad-
vantage being ignored by Finnegan.
There was continual pummelling in
clinches, striking in the breakaWay
and much knee and elbow work, but as
both men were equal offenders the
referee allowed the work to go CD.
There was some actual fighting in the
twentieth and last round, and at its
conclusion, Referee Joe Leonard, ia
miliar to fight seers as a lightweight
boxer, gave the decision to Cavanaugh.
Finnegan may possibly challenge
Scanlon, now at Galveston, where he is
working under Jim Hall. The Metro
politan Club will be a bidder for this
match, it it is made.

WAS A DRAW.

New Haven, Conn, January 16.-The
battle at the Hyperion theatre be-
tween Spike" Sullivan, of Boston, and
Eddie Connolly, of st. Johns, N. b.,
twenty rounds for a purse of $500, end
ed in a draw.
The fight was a spirited one, marred,
however, by repeated and persistent
clinching by both men. Connolly had
to be warned twice for apparent foul
ing. At the conclusion of the bout he
protested angrily at the decision,
claiming the fight.
p Up to the twelfth or thirteenth round
Connolly had a little the better of the
argument, but Sullivan came up
stronger again for a few rounds. His
stamina and gameness were remark
able. Connolly seemed the stronger
puncher and the more telling hitter.
He was a whirlwind in mode of box
ing and rushed Spike to the ropes re-
peatedly.
1t was either mans fight in the last
few rounds and a knockout was con
fdently expected by the spectators.
In the nineteenth round when both
were afraid Of a telling punch they

cesSion.
Peter Maher was in S~ullivan's cor

heavyweights the world over TO a fin

Partland did all the leading through

chance against the swift New Yorker.
In the first round Mcfarland floor
ed Carrig with a right under the jaw.
In the subsequent rounds Carrig was
badly beaten, his right eye being closed
and his face all Duf1ed up. In the thir-
teenth round Mcfarland caught Car
rig under the jaw with his left and fol-
owed it with a very strong right punch
n the stomach. The blow evidently
}aused Carrig much pain and he let out
| fierce yell. The crowd cried foul"
but Kid Mccoy, who acted as referee,
would not listen to them. From the
thirteenth until the end Carrig was Sc
yerely pounded, but fought gamely.

A RACE OF DwARFs.
Peculiar People That Live at the
Eastern End of the Pyrenees
Mountains.

Prof. Miguel Marazta has made what
seems a curious anthropological discoy-
cry in the valley Of Rebas (Gerona), at
the end of the eastern Pyrenees. There
exists in this district a somewhat nu-
merous group Of people, who are called
Nanos (dwarfs) by the other inhaD-
itants, and, as q matter Of fact, are not
more than four feet in height. Their
bodies are fairly well built, hands and
feet small, shoulders and hips broad
making them appear more robust than
they really are. Their features are so
peculiar that there is no installing
them among others. All have red hair;
the face is as broad as long, with high
cheek bones, strongly developed jaws
and fat nose. Theeyes are not horizon
tai, but somewhat oblique, like those Of
Tartars and Chinese. A few struggling
weak hairs are found in place OF beard.
The skin is pale and fabby. Men and
women are so much alike that the sex
can only be told from the clothing.
Though the mouth is large, the lips do
not quite cover the large, projecting
incisors. The Nanos, who are the butt
Of the other inhabitants, live entirely
by themselves in Rebas. They inter
marry only among themselves, so that
their peculiarities continue to be re-
produced Entirely without education,
and without any chance of improving
their condition, they lead the life OF
pariahs. They know their own names
but rarely remember those Of their par
