TWO WELL-MATCHED "PUGS.'


NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-Terry McGovern,
of Brooklyn, and Pedlar Palmer, of Eng
land, are to meet tomorrow afternoon for
a $4,000 purse in a twenty five-round bout at
1l6 pounds before the Westchester Ath-
letic Club Tuckahoe, and the fight has at
tracted unusual interest.
McGovern and Palmer, the sportsmen say.
are two very evenly matched fighters and
as each has trained hard for the struggle
Both McGovern and Palmer are clever,
game and clean cut. They have scores Of
victories TO their credit, are pugilists of the
widest popularity in their respective
countries, and, consistently, the interest
will be at the fever point
the other side to back Palmer and witness
the fight, and scores of them already in
America will journey from distant points
for the same purpose. The preponderance
of money here is naturally in the hands OF
the Americans, and almost to man they
have picked McGovern to win. Consequent
ly he is favorite in the betting.
The only time the Americans ever saw
Palmer in the ring was on Jan. 30, 1896.
when he fought George Dixon six round
draw In Madison Square garden. Then he
made a most favorable impression. On the

Whenever Terry McGovern steps into the
ring it is a of fight from the beginning
of the first round until decision is reached.

defeated are Johnnie Richie, Sammy Kelly,
Billy Barrett, Casper Leon. Patsey Haley
Joe Bernstein and George Munroe.

standing of National League Clubs.

To-days games will close one of the pref
test races the Western League, as whole,
has had for years. The teams at the finish
have been divided into pairs in the race for
first and second places, third and fourth,
fifth and sixth and seventh and eighth. Up
to Saturdays games the results were such
that no club was assured of its final stand
ing, and even yet to-day's game at Buffalo
between the Bisons and Cowboys must de-
eide whether the position of tailender is to
be held by the nine that came out from the
East and so everlastngly lambasted In
dianapolis at the opening of the season. CT
by the generous and gentlemanly bunch
which Ban Johnson picked out as pennant
winners for 1899 along the middle of the sea-
son. The Millers won their game from De-
troit yesterday afternoon. but the result will
be unaffected by that happening. To-day's
game can put the Wilmot willing workers
Milwaukee will lower the Hoosier lead by

Grand Rapids finished her season yester-
day with st. Paul, and ended with a per-
centage or son. Detroit cannot fall to fourth
place, as losing will put the Vanderbeck
outfit down to sos only. Milwaukee, now
ever. has something to fight for. as well as
Kansas City and Buffalo. A loss of two
games means an ending with 50 games won
less Kansas City and Buffalo fail to play.

Teacher. and Pupils.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
Some dissatisfaction Is expressed about
the lack Of influence exerted by the teacher
over the school children This is a question
OF more importance than is generally con-
seeded. Children will take their teachers as
their models. and will. as a rule, aim to live
up TO their standards in many particulars.

The Big Four stirs Up Matters by Its

the Action for Protection.

The train records show that there were
received and forwarded at indianapolis in
the week ending Sept. O. a total of 25,fs2
cars, 21.294 being loaded. The empty car
movement was the lightest in any week for
many years, showing that cars are being
loaded in both directions fully 80 per cent.
above the usual average. The loaded car
movement of last week was 1,1s1 fewer than
In the week ending Sept. 2 but 1,151 more
than were handled at this point in the cor
responding week of 1898. 900 more than in
1881, 1904 more than in 1896. 3.s17 more than
in 1895 and 4.145 more than in 1894. From
these comparisons il will be seen that the
tonnage of last week was largely in excess
Of that of any former year. and it should
be borne in mind that comparisons are now
made with what is usually the busiest time
in the year with railways. Aside from the
heavy movement of grain to Newport News
and Baltimore for export, the shipments
East were not as large as in the week end
ing Sept. 2 Shipments of flour and cereal.
inc products were lightest, while live stock
and dressed meats averaged well with the
preceding weeks. In west-bound business
a heavy increase is shown. both of the
higher and lower class freights The ton
groceries. especially sugars, now coming
west is heavy beyond precedent, and the
shipments west of hard coal and coke are
unusually heavy; in fact, in local as well as
through traffic the amount of coal being
handled is a matter of comment. Local
business in all classes of freight is very
heavy. Local freight men say they have
never known a time when the manufacture
ers of Indianapolis have made as heavy
shipments as in the past five months, with
no dull time. In local business the car
shortage is as seriously felt as in through
traffic. Some Of the roads are supplying
cars TO local shippers to move freights
which IL is quite necessary TO ship and ask
ing leniency from shippers whose business
would not suffer seriously from few days
delay in forwarding: The table below shows
the number of loaded cars handled at this
point for the week ending Sept and for
the corresponding weeks in 1898 and 1897

Mention was made a few days ago that
the Big Four had created quite surprise
by again inaugurating home seekers ex-
cursions. naming the dates on which they
were to be run. The Cleveland Leader says:
The Big Four seems TO have struck
discordant note in railroad business when
II renewed the home seekers business. Even
though IL IS the first In the field, with an
out-and-out admission that 1t is selling tick
cts, II seems that 1t Is not the first road that
has broken over the barriers that were

Is said that he was with General Passen-

a good deal of interest, as il will decide
whether or not the home seekers rate shall
