A New Version Of the Noted

st. Louis, Dec. 2o.-''You hear lots about
the great rushing done by Sharkey in
his go with Jeffries.'' said George Siler.
Let me tell you about it. You remem-
Der that there were electric lights above
the ring, in order that the fight pictures
might be taken. The lights swung over
all the ring except a strip along what,
where the machine was, was the back of
the ring. There was space along that
side, above which there was no light. 1t
was immensely cooler there than else
where in the ring; Sharkey's corner was
on the other side; when he and Jeffries
got up to fight. Sharkey had to rush to
get there as much as possible. Therefore
Sharkey seemed to be pushing the fight,

NEW STAKES ANNOUNCED.
List of Brighton Beach Fixtures For
1900 Is Given Out.

New York. Dec. 20.-T. NJ. Jackson,
the new secretary of the Brighton
Beach Racing association, announces a
long list of stakes for the meeting of
1900 to close January II and two new
stakes of Importance to close Decem-
Der 30
The new stakes far eclipse anything
that has been attempted at Brighton
Beach and are both valuable events 1t
is only a pity that more time has not
been given before the closing to enable
horsemen and breeders in distant sec
tiOns of the country to learn of the ex-
istence of these races
The FOXhall, which will be run for by
year olds Goals of 1890 in 1901, will
be an event of a guaranteed value Of
SIS 900, at six furlOngs It is a cOndi-
ton event, with winning penalties and
nonwinning allowances, as well as
breeding allowances. The allowances
are cumulative.
The Produce stakes which will not
be run until 1902, is a complicated
event. The total gross value is guar
anteed to be $4,000, but the stakes will
be run in two races, one for colts and
geldings, the other for fllies only. The
value of the races is to be appOrtioned
on novel plan If so per cent of the
eligible produce are colts so per cent
of the money goes to the colt and geld
ing race and 40 per cent to the hlIy race
or vice versa
The other stakes that close January
IL are virtually the same as heretofore.

hot right smash on the jaw. ConrOy 5
right eye was rapidly closing from Gus
left jabs, but he was up to his man until
the time was up.
Gus sent right and left to the face in
the sixth and just missed a right swing
for the jaw. At close quarters COnroy
whipped his left to Ruhlins right eye
and Gus replied with right and left to
the head. Gus landed left to face and
body twice in succession and got inside
of ConrOy's kidney punches.
COnrOy rushed in the seventh round and
landed a right swing for the ribs. Gus re-
turned with a left on face and put left
and right on face twice Gus put left on
the stomach: Conroy countering the
face. Gus sent his right to the Jaw, fol-
lowing quickly with left to wind and right
to face. He repeated the latter blows, and
put COnroy down on one knee. COnroy
took the count, but went down again

would be fought in New York and no
place else unless more money than
could be had for the tight in this city

claimed to have the signature of
Choynski, but as it takes two to make
a bargain there is little chance of this
Welter- heavy weight contest being de-
eided in the west. The men have not
as yet signed articles, but they are ex-
pected to do so in a few days. The bout
if arranged will be of 25 rounds and
for so per cent of the gross receipts.
Although the contest between Kid
Mccoy and Peter Maher is several
weeks off, several large Wagers have
been recorded. E. F. Davis, of Liberty,
n. Y, put up $500 even with Charley
White, Tom Broderick's manager, on
Peter Maher, White taking the Mccoy
end. Davis says he has $500 more to
chance the same way
Kid Broad and Jack Hamilton have
been matched to box % rounds at the
Broadway Athletic club. The affair
will be decided within two weeks.
Matty Matthews defeated Kid Car

Harry Gilmore is putting him on edge.

NEEDS NEW PLAYERS.
St Louis Must Have First Baseman,
Left and Center Fielder.

[From the st. Louis Republic.l
Tebeau must secure one or two star
pitchers. Powell is intrinsically crack
but his habits are not conducive 70
first-class work Cuppy should be bet
ter next year than he has been since he
was injured in 1897. If he should be the
Cuppy of old ne will be a better man
than Young was last year.
In catcherS Tebeau is very strong. EIe
has the best veteran catcher in the
League, O'ConnOr, the best yOungSter
in Criger and the best colt in Buelow.
1t is the greatest backstopping depart
ment in the game. There must be
new first baseman, and he has got to
be a man of established power Schreck
is a lot shy on National League form.
Dillard, on minor League performance
will scarcely fill the bill. The sale of
Wagner to Pittsburg was q great dis
pOintment to Tebeau, who counted up
on securing the big German. He must
now hustle for another man and that
man is hard to discover. Mike DonHn,
if he can hold thrown balls and play
the bag, is the best in sight
Quinn will do at second, or Childs, if
he will come back. They are plenty
good enough for any team.
The writer thinks Wallace is the
grea test of third basemen, but he never
did like his shOrtstop play. Bobby is a
good shorthelder, but seems bit shy
on covering ground over second. Still
he will do very well anywhere.
The same may be said about Cross.
Lave is weak on bunts and balls hit to
grounders and liners as we'll as any one
is sure on flies and hits pretty well.
Tne OutfeId, with Burkett. Griffin and
Heidrick will be all right; none any bet
ter.
DonIin and Hemphill will be there;
also DOwd, if he is wanted.
But in all this array of talent there
is not a man, bar O'ConnOr, who knows
the first principles of playing the game
of baseball If Quinn is about he will
help out for he is q pretty wise little
Irishman, if not the hustler he might
be- Still Joe knows the game, the
plays, and can take good care of Quinn.
In young Harper. .Tebeau has a prom
ising pitcher, who may be a star. Sud
hOff is a good everyday lad, who is too
small to ever be a Rusie.
Thus it is that Mr.. Tebeau has got
to get two crack pitchers, a centerfield-
er, a good first baseman and a better
shortstOp than Wallace if he can. If he
could set a good shOrtstOp he might
put Wallace on third and Cross on first
with benefit to the team Wallace is a
much better third baseman than Cross.
Lave can catch thrown balls well-he is
an old catcher-fields grounders nicely,
is very active, RECEIVERS on fumbles
quickly, and should play a nice first
base.

ARE MATCHED AGAIN.
Jack o'Brien and Frank Erne to Fight
In New York.

New York, Dec 20.-Jack O'Brien,
who a short time ago gave Frank Erne
the hardest fight a champion ever had
to retain his laurels, will have another
try at the light weight championship
probably before the end of January
Frne is of the opinion that he is
O'Brien's superior and in consequence
has agreed to meet his worthy opponent
again. Bob Smith, Erne's manager,
has signed articles of agreement for
his man to fight O'Brien under exactly
the same conditions that the last fight
was fought, and. although Jack Dough-
erty has not yet affixed his signature
for O'Brien, he is sure to do so in a
few days. This fight will be decided
in the arena of the Broadway Athletic
club and will be of 25 rounds duration.
The Broadway club offered a purse of
$1,000 for it.
Another championship battle of no
less Importance than the Erne-O' Brien
fight has also been arranged. 1t was
between Tommy Ryan, the welter
weight champion. and Joe Walcott.
This fight, too, will be settled at the
Broadway Athletic club and $1,000 is
the incentive for which the men will
battle While articles OF agreement
have not yet been signed both men
have expressed their Willingness to
face each other in the ring and the in
ducements which Matchmaker Consi-
dine, of the club, offered drew forth a
verbal acceptance. Ryan, who at pres
ent is in Syracuse. telegraphed his ac-
ceptance and as WalcOtt has desire
to hold the championship of his class
it is not likely that any difficulty will
be experienced in having the men sign
the contract.
From Dubuque, Iowa, has been tele-
graphed an offer to Tom O'Rourke of

Charles Brosnan trains Imp and
owns her in partnership with D. r.
Harness. She was the cOnundrum of
the season. Her best form makes her
the best mare ever trained in this
country, but she also ran some very
bad races. The fact that her best
performances were in rich events and
her worst in races of comparatively
little value gave the critical cause for
cavil. For example, it was alleged
that after winning the Suburban her
form was so poor in two minor races
that she had no right to be good
enough to get away with the Brighton
handicap. Imp was raced inceSSantly
from the opening of the season at Nor
ris park until the end of September.
She proved herself a sprinter, a slayer
and a weight carrier, and in the fall,
at Gravesend, she actually gave Ben
Holiday three pounds and beat him
with ease at a mile and half Imp
proved herself most decidedly the horse
of the year, and something more than
a wonder among race mares.
