Pittsburg, Pa, January 23.LOscar
Gardner, of Omaha, and Tommy Ho-
gan, of Pittsburg, met here tonight
under an agreement of n decision" if
both men were on their feet at the end
of ten rounds. Hogan had the advant-
age of ten pounds in weight, but on the
whole the exhibition was tame and dis
appointing to the spectators. Gard
ner boxed in his favorite style, leav-
ing himself open for a chance to
counter on Hogan's body.
Rounds 1 and 2 were Gardeners on
clever countering.
In the third and fourth Hogan sue
ceeded in reaching Oscars face, but
not heavily. Gardner evened matters
in the fifth with a vicious left jab on
Tommy's jaw. From then until the
close of the entertainment there were
simply a repetition of the mems tao
tics without a knock down or other
rudeness.
The fight by rounds was as follows:
First round-Opened with both par
ties sparring, Gardner putting several
light taps on, his opponents wind.
Round tame throughout. No fighting
done.
Second round-At the start Hogan
made a swing, Gardner ducking clev-
erIy, slipping to the floor. They ex-
changed light taps in the face. The
crowd began to hiss at the close of the
round. ~
Round three-Gardner opened with a
left jab in face and received left swing
from Hogan. Gardner was seemingly
too fast for Hogan, and was again
Kissed for not going at his man.
Round four-Both men mixed things
up and the referee separated them after
a full minute hugging.
-. Round fiye-HOgan managed to get
his left to Gardeners face but Gardner
responded with a stiff right punch in
the wind. Round. closes with things
mixed and Gardner doing some fast
work. A-s .
The sixth, seventh and eighth rounds
were very tame, and the audience
called for Murphy and Kerwin, who
put up a rafting six round prelimin-
airy.
In the ninth round The crowd began
to get uneasy and the fighting did not
improve in interest. Both parties
clinched often in this round.
The tenth round closed with loud
Kisses from the audience, who were
evidently disguised with the fight.
Clinches were the main features OF
this round, no blows being struck.
The preliminary seemed to take bet
ter than the star event, and several
times during the bout the preliminary
men were called upon to re-enter the
ring.

BOXING NOTES.

Jim Corbett is disappointed over the
fact that Jeffries beat him u in COW
ering Fits forfeit money. Corbett
thinks the boiler maker has a chance
with either Sharkey or Fitz. The ex-
champion said Sunday that Of Fitz and
Jeffries were matched he would ask
Sharkey to cover his $500 for a re-
turn match. Corbett was asked If he
would meet Jeffries, but the ex-cham-
pion replied that he would rather meet
Sharkey or Fitzsimmons. Il have
$500 up to bind a match with either
Fitz or Sharkey," he said, "and this
shows that 1 mean business, as | be-
lieve money talks. If they refuse to
meet me / will then be satisfied that
my game is a little hard for them"
Corbett and Jeffries have $1,000 each
posted for a match with Fitz. Jeffries
has first claim, however, and if Shar-
key agrees to fight Fitz both will have
to stand aside so far as the champion
is concerned. Fitz may give Jeffries a
chance after he meets Sharkey, or JEFF
fries and Corbett may come together
in the meantime, and the winner Of
that bout be matched to fight Fitz for
the championship, providing he is sue
cessful with the sailor.
Fitzsimmons, referring to the JEFF
fries and Corbett money, now up in
the form Of checks in the hands of the
New York Journal, says: "If they
NEAR business they will come to the
front with cash. As for Corbett, he is
a fakir and l will pay no more atten-
ton to him than | would to a cur
barking at my heels. Bah! it wasn't
so long ago that he sneeringly told me.

knows anything at all about fighting
knows that | have gone to the top of
the ladder, and what is more l whip
ped a good man at nearly every round
before l got there. Having reached
the top, | can afford to give Corbett
some Of the same medicine he gave
me. | now tell the fakir to go and

tered and patched up He robbed the

key, l want to get him into a ring
and give him the worst beating he ever
got. When he faced me last | punish
ed him so badly that he was laid up
in bed for two weeks. If l can only in
duce him to enter the ring again I will
put him on the hospital list for a
month. Afraid of the Sailor? That's

Californian Floors Australian In Thtrd
 Round Cries of Fake.

Louisville, Ky, Sept. 25.--Joe Choyn- ski of California knocked out Jim Hall of Australia in the third round tonight before the Nonpariel Athletic club at Music hall in the presence of 2,500 per- sons. It was announced that the fight was for the light-heavy weight cham pionship limited to twenty rounds and for a division of the box office receipts. Hall weighed 16S pounds and Choynski 160 pounds. The fight was lively enough while it lasted, with the honors possibly in Halls favor during the first two rounds, but in the third Choynski used his right and left effectively a number of times. When but a half minute of the third round remained Choynski landed several rights and lefts in succession, sending Hall to the floor. where he remained until counted out and was carried to his corner. There were cries of fake" from all quarters of the hall. It was a right hook on the jaw that sent Hall down and from the spectators standpoint was not deliv- cred with sufficient force to put the Australian out Choynski, so Hall claims, landed a left below the belt and near the groin. which Hall declares took all the steam out of him.

LEASE OF BOSTON AND A1BANK.
Question Seems to Have Settled Into n
 Struggle for Proxies.

Boston, Sept. 25.-The rivalry between the factions of the Boston and Albany stockholders, who are divided over the question of the lease of the road by the New York Central railroad, seems to have developed into a struggle for proxies. The protective committee who oppose the lease claim to control 136,00 of the 250,O00 shares, and it is claimed that the present board of directors will stand or fall on the question Of the lease at the annual meeting of the road next Wednesday, although it has been agreed to postpone action on tlIe issue until November 15. President William denied the statement attributed to the protective committee that his name would appear at the head of ticket nominating board of directors oppoe- ed to the lease. This denial is as fol- lows:
 To the Shareholders of the Boston and AL
 bany Railroad company:
 I have seen in the public press that my name Is to be on the. opposition tlcket against the present board of directors of the Boston and Albany Railroad company This use of my name is wholly unauthorized. and against my expressed wishes and re- quest I cannot accept an election on that ticket and shal, stand or fall with the pres ent board, Signed: William BLISS
 Tn addition to this statement Presi~ dent Bliss said to-day: "1 seems to me that the gentlemen of the commit tee have gone about this matter in the wrong way. Having, as they claim, and, as may be the case, secured con- trol of a majority of the stock, 1t is but natural to expect that they should wish to have their own board of directors. But 1t seems to me that it would have been a more proper course to postpone the election of the board of directors until November 15 until the matter of the lease is voted upon. When the lease was defeated the members of the board whose views regarding the ques- tion of leasing were not accepted, would probably step down and out. The board of directors. as at present constituted, secured the very pest terms which could be offered, and l may say that no better terms will be offered by the New York Central, of which 1 am a director. As for the matter of a bo- nus. I can say that no offer has been made nor will be made giving the Bos- ton and Albany stockholders bonus. As a director oe the road, and having it's interests at heart, l say that we made the best terms which were possl- ble and there has been no change in the situation which will warran. any hope or expectation on the part of any one of getting a larger dividend or a bonus for this property

This was won Tn straight Keats by Arlington. Hal B., the three to ten favorite In the first heat, sustained his first defeat since tha Boston meeting of last year. He had to be content with third money, The most exciting contest was the trot for the PIP class.

WEsLEYAN MAN KILLS HIMSELF.
Dr. Herman WndswOrth HayIey, a
 Member of the Faculty.

Middletown, Conn.,, Sept. 25.-The man who registered at the United Statee hotel in Boston last evening as H. w. Haley of West Concord, N, H., and who was found dead in his room with this throat cut, to-day, was Dr. Herman Wadsworth Hayley, instructor of Latin in Wesleyan university and a member of the faculty. Dr. Hayley had been spending portion of the va cation at the home of his mother in West Concord, N. H., and returned to this city last week to prepare for the opening of the college. On Saturday he met Prof. Nicholson, secretary of the college faculty, and to him expressed the fear that he would sometime be- come insane Prof. Nicholson advised him to see a specialist, and Dr. Hayley left Middletown Saturday afternoon on the limited express for Boston. He told Prof. Nicholson that he would stop at the United States hotel
 Dr, Hayley was about thirty-five wears of age and came to Wesleyan two and one-half years ago. He grad uated from Amherst college in 'S7 and after spending year or two in study abroad returned to Harvard for post graduate course and received the de- gree of Ph. D. He continued as in- structor in Latin for a time and left there to come to Wesleyan. He was noted as brilliant scholar, success ful instructor and very popular with the students. Among classical schol- ars he enjoyed being one of the finest in the country, and he also had the highest regard of the faculty.
 Dr. Hayley had published number of works, the most popular of which was "Alcestis,' a Greek play, which was issued about two years ago. on it's appearance it was declared to be Of unusual merit, abounding in original ity. At times the man was morbidly melancholy and cared very little for so- ciety. By many he was considered ec- centric for the reason that he mingled little with his fellows, He was how ever, fond of outdoor sports and in his student days was the strongest man in his class. Prof. Elmer T, Merrill ot Wesleyan left this evening for Boston to take charge of the remains and they will be taken to the home of the Wld- owed mother at West Concord, N. Il. The news of the suicide came as great shock 70 the entire student body as well as faculty, and Prof. Van Vleck. one of the oldest professors and vice president of the college, was pros trated when informed of the affair.
