DENFAss BEAT Stiff.

Clever left-hand jabbing and fast foot
work won the decision for Ed Denfass,
of Philadelphia, over Billy Stiff, of Chi
cago, at the end Of six rounds, of the
semi-final wind-up. Stiff was outclassed
from the start and was unable to reach
the Philadelphia with any of his swings.
Stiff was fioored in every round, and in
the second stayed down for count Of
six. In the fourth, Stiff in one of the
mix-ups. landed a stiff swing on Denfass'
head, but was sent to the floor by a blow
over the heart moment later, which
took all the steam out of him. Stiff was
weak in the last two rounds and held in
the clinches to save himself In the final
round Stiff tried for a knockout, but was
sent to the floor with left swing on the
jaw. He got up tired, but managed to
last the limit by holding on to his adj
versary. They met at catchweights, both
weighing considerable over 160 pounds.
In one of the preliminaries Benny Yea

LOTUS TO LEAVE.
Announced He WIFI Drop Out of
American League.

CHICAGO, Feb. Tom Lotus is like
ly TO drop out Of American league base
ball affairs. His Grand Rapids team will
in all likelihood go to Cleveland, but 1t
will be owned by Cleveland people. Presi-
dent Ban Johnson, Of the American
league, returned to Chicago yesterday,
after visiting III Kansas City and Detroit.
and announced the above as the probable
outcome of part of the baseball negotia-
ions now in progress. Lotus position In
the matter is not known, but. at any rate,
it is now believed he will not be figure
in American league affairs long. He Is
expected in Chicago this week. and al
fairs will then be settled between the Chi
cago National league club S manager and
the American league.
Detroit is likely to change hands 8 on.
and syndicate Of Detroit people will be-
come owners Of the Detroit franchise.
Regarding the story Buffalo Is to be
dropped from the American league, Pres
ident johnson said '.filis Is how that
story originated. Pat Powers said to me
in Cleveland he would like to have Buff
falo for his Eastern league. to pair 1t Off
with Toronto. I told him l should be
glad to see the Eastern league strength
ened, and asked him what he would give
me for Buffalo and he said Chicago. 1
said 1t would be a good trade If he would
deliver the goods and that Is how the
story started
AS to Louisville, President Johnson de-
clared his league had not decided whether
to enter Louisville or not Personally,
President Johnson does not believe 1t g.
good baseball town. Regarding the inter-
view given out by Wlliteside, a Louisville
new American association applicant, who
declared the American league couldn t
get into Louisville If 1t wanted to, Presi-
dent Johnson asserted he had three appli-
cations for membership in the American
league from the Falls City, and showed
correspondence and kilograms to prove
his statements
Mr. johnson says the new American as
ISOLATION has to show much more than 1t
has done so far at Its Philadelphia meet
ing to make him feel the slightest uneasi-
ness. With no more than one, or possibly
two, practical baseball men he thinks the
new association will have q pretty tough
time Of it. The question with him is just
where the new organization Is going to
get players. The National league con-
tracts are pretty nearly all signed. and
the American league, President johnson
says, has nearly all its contracts in. This
leaves a pretty meager field for selection
to the newcomers.
There will be only two clubs in Chica-
go next SUMNER asserted President
Johnson. There isn't a ghost Of g. chance
of four, let alone three"
At National league headquarters there
were no new developments. President
Hart is waiting to hear what happens to
Pulliam at Frankfort. Fred Clarke, with
vest which was reminiscent Of Pulliam,
called during the afternoon to inquire If
anything had been heard Of the Louisville

DIVISION OF CHINA.
Part Each Nation Will Take Is Being
Discussed

New York, Aug. "a dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
No information can be obtained here
of various sensational stories telegraphed
to foreign capitals in reference to the
Chinese question. There is a report from
St Petersburg that a. battle has taken
place within the walls of Pekin, and
that the allies were compelled to fall
back, losing 1880 men. This alarming
story produced no effect on the stock
exchange or elsewhere because it was
not believed; nor is there anything to
support the statement cabled by a WASH
ington correspondent to a London news
paper that Russia has informed the
United States government that she pro-
poses to annex Manchuria. But whether
any such declaration has actually been
made to any power not much doubt need
be felt that it merely embOdieS Russia's
intentions, subject only to her ability
to meet the opposition which the annexa-
ton of Manchuria would be sure to en-
counter from Japan. In fact, the process
has already begun, since Russia is quiet
~ aSSimilating Chinese territory south
of the AmoOr river.
In some quarters it is thought that
the landing of Japanese troops at Annoy
is the japanese answer to these Musco-
vite moves.
The British consul at Shanghai has
been appealed to by the viceroy of Foo
KEN to prevent this aggression. The
Toxic government may possibly reply
to any protest by alleging that if the
integrity of China is violated by Russia
in the north, Japan also is entitled to
seek territorial acquisitions in these
celestial kingdoms.
Some outspoken critics here are be-
ginning to recognize that the outcome of
the present crisis will eventually be that
slices of Chinese territory will certainly
pass into possession of Russia, Germany
and Japan. The first named will seize
Manchuria on the plea that China de-
clared war and invaded Siberia; Germany
will claim Shan Tung as indemnity for
the murder of Won Ketteler and Japan
will take Corea if she can get it, or, if
not, Annoy. What the British policy will
be in this event is not known.

MCCOY AND CORBETT.
Each One Satisfied That He Will
Knock the Other Out.

New York, Aug. 2S.-Corbett and Nc
Coy have practically completed training
for their fight tomorrow night in the
ring of the Twentieth Century club in
Madison Square Garden.
Corbett has done his work at Bath
Beach and has trained more carefully
for this mill than he did for his battle
with Fitzsimmons in Carson City or for
his bout with Jeffries at Coney Island.
I'm so confident of winning from Nc
Coy" he said, that I'm ready as have
already announced to meet either Fitz-
simmons or Jeffries on the night fol-
lowing my battle with the Kid think
1 will be in the lead all the way and
am ready to bet that the Kid does not
go the limit of 25 rounds with me-
A dispatch firm Saratoga says of Nc
Coy:
kid Mccoy has no doubt of the re-
suit of his fight with CoTbett and be-
lieveS that he will win within ten
rounds He will start for New York to-
day wednesday,.
Il win be the most surprised man in
the business if 1 DON'T the Kid said.
Il think I will win, because if do say
it myself, I believe that I am a cleverer
man than Corbett and everybody admits
that can hit harder than he. So that if
I am cleverer and if 1 can hit harder it
can end only in one way and that is my
being returned the winner"
