MATTHEW'S AND BURNS MATCH
ED.

New York, February 22.-Mattie
Matthews, the clever New York light
weight, and Charlie Burns, of Cincin-
natl, have been matched to meet in a
15-round bout at an athletic club in
Cincinnati on March 8. Burns recent
~ fought Jack Daily a 10-round draw in
Cincinnati, and as he showed a great
Improvement in his fighting the match
maker Of the club decided to arrange
another fight for him with some other
good man. Burns promptly accepted
the offer, and as Jack Daugherty, man
ager of Matthews, did likewise, the
match was quickly arranged. Both
fighters have started in training and
will enter the ring in the best OF shape.
They will box at 1873 pounds, weigh in

BJRGE AFTER LAVIGNE.

Another international prize fight may
be arranged soon. The Bollngbroke
Club, of England, which was in COM
munication with kid Lavigne for a
return match with Dick Burge when
Lavigne signed to fight Mysterious
Billy Smith, is again after the cham
pionship. The British Club offers La
vigne $4,000 and passage, and assures
him side bet as large as he desires
can be arranged.
Billy Lavigne, who attends to Kids
business affairs, has agreed in case the
Bolingbroke Club will deposit its
money in this country, to again take
the trip and bet few of the British
ers to a blooming standstill' that his
little brother George will give Burge
the same beating he handed him be-
fore. AS the Englishmen are more
than anxious to see Lavigne fight
again, it is altogether likely the match
will be arranged fer Derby week.

MCCOY TO FIGHT GREEN.

Kid Mccoy, under the management
of the enthusiastic Brady, has con-
tracted to knock out George Green,
otherwise known as Young COrbett,"
in ten-1>1and bout to be decided in
Frisco some time next April. In view
of the two square knockdOwns admin
istered by Mccoy to Sharkey in their
recent fight at the Lenox Club, this
task should not prove to be of much
difficulty. Green, a welterweight, was
easily beaten by Mysterious Bill
ly Smith last fall. but since
that time he has assembled to the mid
dleweight division. Green is not in
McCOy's class in cleverness, and, pro-
viding the latter is IN better trim Jnan
when he was downed by the sailor. he
should put a stop to the Young Cor
bctt" inside Of the limit. But the
task of putting an opponent Out inside
Of ten rounds differs somewhat from
the job of beating him in a twenty or
twenty-five TCund bout. 4 fighter who
is expected 10 stay the limit IN order to
win can adopt tactics which make II
extremely difficult for his opponent TO
land a deciding punch. Mccoy is 50
much faster than Green 10 leg work,
however, that experts believe it will
be impossible for the California pugi-
list to keep away. McCoy's proposed
fight Of twenty rounds with Joe
Choynski is regarded as a different
proposition. II Choynski is fit Mccoy
may find it a hard piece of business TO
score a knockout, although the Kid is
conceded to be Choynski's master in
scientific boxing.

INTERSTATE NOTES.
Springfield Exchange.
a LAMENT.

Springfield Exchange.
There is mourning in old Springfield.
There is sadness in the air;
There is crepe on all the fans hats,
There is sorrow everywhere,
For the franchise went to Wheeling,
Long with several sturdy men,
Turned from Governors into Stogies,
With one stroke of Edward S pen.
There's been meetings of the "Old Ones.
Lots of chewing of the rag;
But the prospects are at present
They will have to hold the bag.
I'VE must see the books" they shouted
AS their hair they mussed and tore;
But" quoth julius, Houck and Ridgley
Never, never, never more"
Julius says he wasn't willing.
But the fans say lots of grace
Will be needed at the killing,
Not to doubt the statements face.
This man Edward is a lawyer
His name he always tried,
When the trustees brought eff prize fights
To keep unidentified.
Buy ticket for the prize fight?
Come now, PLEASE don't stop and chew
What would base ball be in Springfield
If not for just such as you?
Bless you! Things are coming nicely,
Got our debts about all paid,
Ready now to post the forfeiL
All our plans are finely laid.
But the jobs now off with Springfield:
Edward Houck and Julius Stern,
They're the boys as has the sheckels;
Whether there'll be some to burn
is a question that the old Ones
Mean to settle by the law,
And the moral of this story
Is a pretty well worn saw.
Never more the sound of play BALI"

Never more the boys Of evenings

Farewell, Farrell. win your flies.
All that's left for Springfield now days
Is to weep ana wipe her eyes.

Last evening Stanton Abbott, who is
to meet Leslie Pearce before the Met
ropOlitan Athletic Club Monday night,
arrived here from Philadelphia, where
he made a short stop on his way over
from Providence. Shortly after his ar
rival he was seen by a representative
of the Register and the pugilist chatted
freely of matters pertaining to himself
and the world of sport in general. Alb
bolts English accent betrays his ma
tlonality and his manner is that of
man who has seen much Of the world.
He weighs 1874 pounds and is Of ath-
letic build and temperament When at
his home in Providence he is boxing
instructor in the atheletic club OF that
city, also at the Y. NJ. c. A, and gives
private lessons in the manly art be-
tween times. So he may be said to
always be in fair training and to be
well skilled in the fine points of the
profession. To use a phrase of the
turf, he is a good locker, and interest
in the contest Monday night will be
none the less keen by those who have
seen him.

Abbott has at various times associa-
ted with some Of the world-renowned
pugilists and has evidently gotten
much insight into the art of boxing
from contact and acquaintance For
four years he Travelled with the late
Squire Abingdon, the millionaire Eng
fish gentleman Of leasure, when Char
ley Mitchell was one of his coterie of
retainers. The Squire, it will be recol-
lected, was at one time Mitchelfs back
er, and was also the friend and admirer
of the famous Jersey Lilly. Abbott
during this association with Mitchell
trained with him daily and got well
onto his particular style of boxing. He
was present at the Kilrain-Smith fight
which took place on an island in the
Seine river, and also witnessed the Sui
livan-Mitchen fight at Chantilly, forty
miles from Paris. AS a memento of
his travels with Abingdon he carries a
handsome gold time-piece with the ia
nous Englishman's monogram upon the
case.

There Is no more substantial proof OF

The United States government Is going
70 undertake the cure of consumption at
Fort Stanton, this territory, to which Ia
attached q reservation Of ten thousand

will DO men from the army and navy.
Thereafter government cieiks and other
employees who may need treatment for

the benefits Of the institution. When
the treatment has passed the expert
mental stage, citizens who are not In the
employ Of the government will be ad-
mitted. on payment Of q small fee which
will be applied toward the maintenance
Of the institution.
Surgeon General Wyman, OF the ma

that consumption is durable, and he has
selected Fort Stanton rs the place for the
