TO FIGHT TODAY.
The Bout Between McGOvern and
Palmer Promises Good Sport.

Palmer Promises Good Sport.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1O.-Terry Nc
Govern, of Brooklyn, and Pedlar Palmer,
of England, are to meet tomorrow after
noon for a $4,000 purse in twenty-ffve-
round bout at 116 pounds, before the
Westchester Athletic club, Tuckahoe, and
the fight has attracted unusual interest.
McGovern and Palmer, the sportsmen
say. are two very evenly matched fight
ers, and as each has trained hard for the
struggle there should be a battle from
start to finish.
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 respec-
tive countries. and, consistently, the in
terest will be at a fever point.
A number of Englishmen have come
from the other side to back Palmer and
witness the fight, and scores of them al
ready in America will journey from dis
tant points for the same purpose. The
Dreponderance of money here is naturally
in the hands of the Americans and al
most to a man they have picked Nc
Govern to win. Consequently he Is a
favCrite in the betting.
The only time the Americans ever saw
Palmer in the ring was on Jan. 80, 1896,
when he fought George Dixon a six
round draw in Madison Square Garden.
Then he made a most favorable impress
sion. On the other side he has whipped
such men as Billy Plimmer, Billy Roche
fort, Ernest Anton. Dave Sullivan, Dave
Wallace and Billy Murphy.
Whenever Terry McGovern steps into
the ring it is a case of fight from the
beginning Of the first round until de-
cision is reached. He is aggressive, a
hard hitter and good taker Of punish
ment. Among those he has defeated are
Johnnie Richie, Sammy Kelly, Billy Bar
rett, Casper Leon, Patsey Haley, Joe
Bernstein and George Munroe.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich Sept. 1O.-(Spe-
ciaI GRAND Rapids celebrated the close
Of the Western league season here today
by winning double victory from the
Saints. in the presence of one of the
largest crowds of the year The victories
were all the more creditable to the home
team from the fact that TWO amateurs
pldved with it, This was made necessary
by the leaving of Catcher Sullivan and
Left Fielder Crawford last night to join
the Boston and Cincinnati teams, respec-
lively. Buckley is still nursing his in
jures, received in the morning Labor day
game and McAuley is on the hospital list.
Radamacher and Tibald, who helped out
The home team today, are both local
players. and they made an excellent
showing with the professionals. although
the former had trouble in the second
game in holding Bumpus Jones, who had
speed to burn.
Ten innings were required to decide the
first game, which was full of excitement
and kept the enthusiasm and interest at
fever heat all through. The Saints lost
the game on costly errors by Fisher and
Geier in the second and fifth. Tebeau
made the first run, getting a single,
reaching third on Fishers throw over
Vaughn's head. and home on hit by
Bierbauer. Tibald's tumble of IsbelPs
grounder allowed the visitors to tie the
score in the third. Risley's two gifts help
ing out A tumble by Geier, another
wild throw by Fisher and poor throw
by Geier let in White in the fifth, and the
Saints punched three singles, again tying
the score in the sixth The locals won
out in the tenth on chickering's double,
followed by a clean hit by Buelow, the
visitors being unable to do anything in
their half
Hcutz hit for three bases in the first

Dehzer was touched up for three doubles
ana a single, netting the home team

BASE BALL BREVITTEs.

St. Paul was the first Of the Western
league teams to play it's full quota of 1875
games for the season. The Apostles won
fifty-seven and lost siXty-nine games for
the season, the poorest record they have
made in any one Of their five seasons.
The local team started out well on its
last trip, but lost five out of the last six
games played, making the record for the
circuit five games won and eight lost.
The game at Buffalo today will decide
whether Kansas City or. Buffalo is to oc
cupy last place.
If Milwaukee should win both games
today at Indianapolis the Brewers would
slide past ST. Paul into fifth place
If Detroit should lose today there would
be a tie between Detroit and Grand Rap
ids for third place.
Outfelder Fleming. who used to be
with Indianapolis, has signed with Wash
ington.
The Hoosiers have fallen off in their
batting. This is due to the nervousness
which affects every man. The players all
wish the season were over and the sus-
penSe ended.
George Stallings has decided to quit
base ball and go into business in Detroit.
He is disgusted with President Wander
beck for selling off his best players be-
fore the close of the season.
Abe Lezotte has refused to join the Buff
falo team on account Of i'll health, and
the Buffalo MANAGEMENT finally secured
the services of Danny Stearns to fill out
the season for the Bisons on the initial
corner. Stearns played first base for Buff
falo when it was a member of the East
ern league in 1895.

Dollars in Imports for the Same
riod One Year Ago.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1O-The war de-
partment made public today statement
of the trade between the United States
and all Of the colonies under military con-
troll, and with Cuba as well, for the seven
months of 1899, ending July 81, making
comparison with the year 1898.
The exports from the United States to
Cuba for the seven months were $14,116,-
99s in 1899 against 81, ,937 in 1898. The I'M
ports into the United States from Cuba
for the same period were 9976,956 in
1885, against ST., 474,770 in 1893
The exports from the United States to
Porto Rico for the seven months were
81, 399,221 in 1899, against $569,110 in 1898.
Imports into the United States from Porto
Rico during the same time were So, BIS, 944
in 1899, against $2,253,SOO in 1898. :
The exports from the United States 10
the Philippine islands from Jan. to July
81 were $3S6,1O9 in 1899, against $685. 736 in
1898. The imports into the United States
from the Philippines for the same period
were So 274, 134 in 1899, against 81, 2S3, IT'S in
1898.
The trade Of the United States with
the various islands when stated by
months shows marvellous growth, very
gratifying in all the islands, and especial
ly so in the Philippines.
The only fiscal years since 1877 showing
for the entire twelve months a larger
value Of merchandise exported from the
United States to Cuba than Is shown by
the first seven months Of 1899 were the
years 1892, 1893 and 1894. If the same ratio
is maintained until the end Of the year
the imports into Cuba from the United
States will be larger than the exports
from the United States to that island in
any fiscal year in the entire history Of
the trade between this country and Cuba
The imports into the United States from
Cuba from Jan. 1 to July 81, 1899, were
greater than the corresponding imports
for either of the entire fiscal years 1897
and 1898. If the same ratio is maintained
for the remainder of this year the imports
into this country from Cuba will exceed
$50, 000, COO, and be more than double those
of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1898.
The imports from Porto Rico into the
United States for the first seven months
of 1899 were larger than those Of any Of
the preceding entire fiscal years since
$780, except 1898, while the exports to
Porto Rico for the first seven months Of

AS far as the exports from the United
States to the Philippines are concerned.
for the first seven months of this year
under American occupation, they are
larger than those of any previous year in
our history, Not only this, but they are
more than double those of any year ex-
cepting only the years 1912, 1852 1860 1870

has painted coats of cardinal over every
burg in the Western league. has reach
ed his strings end so far as Detroit is
concerned. and was ordered to shake the
dust of that city from his pedals by
Manager Stallings.
The fact that the National league pen
nant race has practically been decided
has caused a great lack of interest in
the playing of many Of the men, and big
scores are the result. Pitchers, who a
month ago held opposing teams down to
four and five hits, are now being batted
for three times that number The field
ing of some of the teams has also fallen
off. and the games are by no means up to
the standard.

1t appears that people generally are
greatly mistaken in their notion that
there is an enormous surplus OF unmar-

that no such excess of spinsters exist
in fact. it is quite the other way, the
bachelors outnumbering the maidens. At
the present moment there are in the Unit
ed States 100000 more unattached males
than females similarly situated, the exact
figures being 5,427,767 bachelors against
1924, 494 spinsters Of ages from twenty
years up. Thus it Is obvious that if girls
do not find husbands it is not for lack
of plentiful supply of the article. What
