j. JEFFRIES HERE
THE CHAMPION PRIZE FIGHTER At
TRACTED ATTENTION.
He Talked OF His Future Plans and
Scored COrbett-ROberson
and Cullen Box.

James j. Jeffries, the worlds champion
prizefghter. was visitor in Indianapolis
last night. He umpired game of ball in
Marion yesterday, where he proved great
drawing card, and will go to st. Paul,
where he will off1ciate at another ball game
He has engagements in several other cities
for the same purpose. Speaking of his
plans last night. he said:
81 have no match at present to fight. but
I am open to fight any one. had a match
to fight Sharkey again. but that fell
through before i met Corbett, but I still
Sharkey can sign at his disposal to meet
me again in the ring. am willing to fight
any one, and should match be arranged
it will take me but a short time to get in
condition. AS to Mccoy. 1 do not care to
express an opinion. AS soon as Sharkey
meets Rubin. In a few days, there may be
a match arranged between us, providing he
is willing. great deal has been said
about Corbett and our recent meeting. You
can say for me that. think he is a dog,
and has done more to kill the boxing game
than any fighter in the world, not except
ing young Critic. Corbett lacks nerve. but
I will admit that he is a great fighter in
the ring. as far as his footwork is con-
cerned. could have put him out in the
fifteenth round, but / wanted to see him
run. He Is a coward, and If he wants to
fight me again 1 will willingly give him a
match.
Jeffries was the center of attraction in
the downtown districts last night, and
wherever he went was followed by crowd
of several hundred men and boys.

THE PARDON OF SAGE


The action of Governor Mount I'm par
doning John W. Sage. who was serving
life sentence for a crime committed in
Hartford City, was good news to his friends
there, who believe him innocent of the
crime for which he was convicted. Sage
and Eliza Cunningham, both of that city,
were sweethearts. The woman had four
year-old child, which, IL was claimed. stood
between her and marriage with Sage. She
took the child one afternoon to the edge
of the city and drowned il i'm shallow
creek. Before her conviction she was mar
ried to Sage. At the trial she refused to
testify against her husband who had been
arrested for completely in the murder, and
he was discharged.
Mrs. Sage received a life sentence and
has served nineteen years in the Reform
atory for Women at Indianapolis. Several
years after the trial Sage made applica-
ton for divorce. and a rumor reached Mrs.
Sage that he intended marrying another
woman. This enraged her and she impli-
Gated him in the deed. claiming that he
suggested that TX would not be murder If
the child accidentally fell into the creek
and drowned. Sage was again arrested
tried, found guilty and sentenced to the
penitentiary for life, but the Supreme
Court reversed the finding. He was tried
a second time. and the jury disagreed. At
the third trial he was convicted, and he
has spent seventeen years OF his life at
Michigan City. Through the circumstances
surrounding the case the crime became
quite a famous one in this State. Sage
comes OF a highly respected family and
his friends here never believed him guilty
II Is probable that an effort will also be
made In the near future 10 secure par
don for Mrs. Sage as IL is the general opin-
ion at Hartford City that she has been
sufficiently punished.

A TEN-ROUND CONTEST
In Which skid" Robertson Displayed
the Greater Ability.

"Come on, won't hurt your exclaimed
kid" Robertson at the end of the fourth
round of his contest with Jack Cullen.
at the Empire. last night, after Cullen had
crawled through the ropes and threatened
to quit because Robertson had punched him
harder than the agreement called for. Gull
len, with his face showing the marks of
many jabs landed by Robertson resumed his
position in the ring and throughout the
remainder of the fight stood his ground
well.
The men were scheduled to go ten rounds.
and they both agreed before the fight that
If they were both on their feet at the end
of the tenth round the contest to be
declared draw. Under the conditions
that surrounded the bout there could have
been no other decision, although Robertson
had all the best of the affair. The police
warned the men to refrain from knock
out, and they both agreed that they should
go for points. AS they did this and had
an agreement that the decision was to be a
draw in case both were on their feet.
Referee Marion Scott decided it a draw.
Both men were In good condition and
they put up one of the liveliest contests
seen In this city. Robertson has been known
as fighter and not boxer, but he demon
strated last night that he Is also entitled
to be known as clever boxer. Cullen had
the majority of the crowd with him, and
few of his friends were so partisan that
they cried out, Foul the least pre-
tense, when no fouls were delivered by
Robertson. 1t was claimed that Robertson
used his elbow on his opponent, a report
started by Cullen's friends, but after the
contest Referee Scott said that he did not
see a single foul blow delivered by Rober-
son with his elbow. Cullen showed great
gameness and led often. but his glove
landed against the guards of Robertson in
nearly every instance. while Robertson held
back, and when he did lead sent in a blow
that caused Cullen's anger to grow warm.
Robertson guarded his face we'll and Cullen
only succeeded in landing about half a
dozen blows that counted. In the fourth
round he sent home an upper cut, and In
the fifth he landed a hard one on the body
and one on the head. In the ninth Cullen
measured his distance well and landed
three good upper cuts. All through the
fight Robertson sent in blow after blow,
which made their marks.
There were three preliminary contests.
The first one was between the Kentucky
Rosebud and Charles Blackburn, who
went four rounds, Blackburn getting the
decision. Roy Clark and Young Shar-
key fought a four-round draw, and kid
Meyers and Eddie Cuddy gave a four
round contest, Cuddy getting the decision.

standing Of the Clubas
American League


CHICAGO, June 15.-Chauncey Fisher.
who, on the form he has displayed during
the present home series of the Chicago
club, is undoubtedly the best pitcher in the
American League, again to-day gave re-
markable exhibition and held the Indian
apolis champions to three hits and shut
them out 4 to 0. 1t is seldom team is as
helpless before pitcher were the cham
pions to-day. Fisher had wonderful COL
lection of curves and marvellous changes of
speed and kept the ball whistling across
the breasts of the visitors while they fruit
lessly tried to make hits. In fact he was
so clever he kept them pushing little hits
down to the infield or else out to the ever
present Hoy. Isbell, at first had sixteen
victims. two OF them being unshared with
other felders. Aside from Fishers great
pitching, Dummy Hoy and Isbell were
star performers of the game Hoy made
three Of Chicago's four runs. making three
hits and drawing base on balls In five
times at bat. Isbells fine work at first and
his batting. a three-bagger and single,
made him the object of the grand stands
applause. It was Chicago all the way
through, and. although Indianapolis per-
formed some fielding marvels. such as
Flynn's long running catch in the seventh
of Sugden's fly. the hard batting Of Chicago
and the inability of the champions to hit
made the game one-sided.
indianapolis is still crippled. the limping
fielders testifying to a hard campaign. but
to-day's game could not have been won
had they been at their best. The batting
order had to be changed owing to injured
players. Tomorrow KelIum is slated to
pitch against Denzer, who was to have
pitched to-day, but Fisher insisted so hard
on taking his regular turn that Comiskey
finally consented to let him occupy the box.
Pitcher "Cy' Seymour is due here to-mor-
row night and will be given his first trial
with Chicago next week. McManus, the
new catcher, will also be tried then. To-

CLOSE OF ASCOT RACES
AMERICAN JOCKEYS WIN NEARLY
Two-THIRDs OF THE EVENTS.
Wonderful Work by Little Johnny
Reiff. Who Is Earning at the
Rate of $4,000 a Year.

LONDON, June 15.-Ascot weeks racing
closed to-day. and with seventeen wins out
of twenty-eight races. including sucn
trophies as the Royal Hunt cup and the
Ascot gold cup. for the two Reiffs, Sloan.
Martin and Rigby. they are the talk of the
English racing world and the supremacy
of American methods seems finally and
definitely established. These Americans
can make their own terms with English
owners next year. OF them all thirteen
year-old Johnny Reiff excited the greatest
interest, his splendid finish I'm the race for
the Royal Hunt cup on Wednesday. when
he won by a head from the celebrated
jockey Cannon, winning the admiration of
those who had hitherto doubted his ability.
This little jockey, already earning at the
rate of $1,000 annually, has offers next year
from nearly every prominent English own
er. He received e1O0 for riding Royal Flush
and rides in France on Sunday for fee of

Johnny's head seems unturned by his sue
cess. He talked modestly to-day, saying:

counted for this year. but L am looking
forward to a winter in France. where my

Baseball Notes.

Chauncey Fisher was largely responsible
for the Indianapolis defeat yesterday.
The attendance i'm Chicago was pleasing
yesterday, even If the result of the game
was the kind the fans like TO forget
Charles Comiskey must have told his
white stockings" a few things. for they
have been putting up great game lately.
The Wabash Marion exhibition game at
Marion yesterday, umpired by Pugilist JEFF
fries. was won by Wabash by a score OF
IL 10 9.
Two shut-outs in succession are bitter
pills but the fans must forgive the In
dianapolis players because they have made
a great showing under unfavorable condi-
lions.
President Hill. of the defunct Kokomo
league club. will organize an independent
league of four clubs. and play four games
q week on the Kokomo grounds and exhi-
bition games whenever a good chance Of
fers.
To have the fielders i'm a crippled condi-
ton is exceedingly hard luck. but to have
a lot of pitchers out of condition is worse
than Watkins bargained for. The Hoosiers
will yet even up the score with Chicago
for the last two defeats.

The Real Thing at coney leland.

NEW YORK, June 15.-Although there
have been three race meetings in the met
ropolitan district thus far this year, the
real thing does not come until tomorrow.
when Coney island is opened. This race
has come TO be looked upon as the most
prominent of the year. as all the horses are
ready to run and no f1ukes seem likely to
occur. Most of the horses entered for the
Suburban are At to run for their lives.
With good track. which seems likely. the
sport should be the best in years. The list
of entries, with the probable jockies, as far
as ascertained is: Ethelbert. $50 (Maher):
Imp. lbs (TagerD; John Bright 119 (Shen-
Cer); Pretuchio, 103 (Busch); Kinley Mack,
I.5 (McCue): Gulden. 100 (OdelD; Prince
McClurg. III O; Survivor, 100 O; Her
bert, % (MitchelD; Intrusive, Ill @; Lo-
thario. lis o: Sarmatian. 30 (Henry0
This is choice lot. and of them at least
three are counted upon as having a royal
chance to win.
Ethelbert probably will be made the ia
vorite. and there is also little doubt that
Perand and Imp will have lot of follow
ing by those who will pin their faith to
them.
