MYSTERIOUS BILLY DEFEATED
Matty Matthews Whips the Noted
Welter Weight Champion in
18th Round.

New York. April 1S.-At the Broad
way Athletic club last night the welter
weight championship of the world
changed hands from Mysterious Billy
Smith to Matty Matthews of New York.
The New York man solved the hitherto
unsOlvable mystery with right hand
punch on the jaw in the nineteenth
round. sending Smith to the land OF
sound Of the gong. He outpointed and
outgeneraled his opponent and although
his blows were not so hard as those OF
Smith, they were cleaner and always
went to the mark. The fight was fast
all the way and was witnessed by fully
1000 spectators, who cheered Matthews
wildly at the finish. Before the fight
the betting was lively Smith being the
favOrite at 100 to 60.
In the first round Matthews was fore
ed to the floor with a right on the kid
neys and later went down from clinch
in his own corner. Matthews kept lead
ing his left to the face. but Billy's kid
ney blows had his body almost raw at
the close of the fifth round. Smith kept
forcing, but Matthews met him with
stiff facers every time. Smith was re-
peatedly cautioned for unfair fighting
When they came out for the ninth Mat
thews swung his right to the jaw and
followed with two more of the same
and Billy began to look serious In the
eleventh Matthews rushed and three
times landed his right on the Jaw and
thews' work had the crowd on it's feet
cheering when the bell rang. Matty was
after him fast in the twelfth and time
and again swung his right to the face
and jaw. Smith was bleeding from the
mouth, but fought back like fiend and
drove some terrible rights to Matthews
body. Left jabs started Smiths nose
bleeding in the thirteenth and worried
him cOnsiderab bly,.
Both landed heavily with rights on
the head in the fourteenth and BiIly's
left eye was cut and bleeding from Mat
| tvs jabs. Billy cut out the work in
the fifteenth, and pounded Matty hard
about the body A left swing on the
! jaw and a shove forced Matthews to
! the floor but he was right up and fin
ished strong.
Matthews showed the effects of Bill
| ly's body punches in the sixteenth. He
was much slower and did not seem so
! willing to mix it UP. They went throug h
! the 18th and 18th with little done, Smith
| having trifie the better of it. Smith
| was the aggressOr in the nineteenth and
| at close quarters beat Matthews hard
| about the body. In the clinch he threw
| Matty to the floor. He was up immedi-
! ately and Smith apologized and shook
/ hands. Matty then swung his right to
| the Jaw. Smith was up and clinched
| Matty threw him off and twice more
/ landed the same punch, the last one
| dropping Smith clean. He was unable
to rise to the count and had to be car
ried to his corner. Time of round rs

PLAYED WITH z. o.
Kansas City Blues Defeat Lawrence
Ball Players 10 to 8.

Ball Players 10 to 3.
Lawrence, April 1S.-Manning's Kan
sas City Blues had easy work with the
Kansas University team on McCook
field Tuesday, winning their return
game 10 to 3. Threatening weather
kept the attendance down, but the
faithful fans who were out saw a good
game. The Blues seemed to get tired
of running around the muddy diamond
in the last half and confined their
efforts to keeping the Kansans from
scoring. The game was a crafty ing
one to the K. u. men, as it only showed
weak points which could be remedied
by practice. The fielding was especially
poor, Tucker being the only man in the
outer garden who could freeze a fly.
Alphin pitched the first three innings
Then Morgan, the Kansans' new
twirler. took the box. The Blues found
his curves frequently, but they could
not place them. Parent did the be st
stick work, knocking out one. two
Dagger and a single
Good stick work was a. feature of the
game on both sides, but John Camel
was the hero of the day in that line.
He smashed the horsehide past right
field and over the fence into the go,f
field, scoring himself and bringing in
Green. Farrell and Wagner were the
other stars with the bat, the former
cracking out one double and three
singles and the latter three singles.
Schaefer also showed Up well at the
bat, and in the field was a terror at
knocking down base hits.

MACHINES IN GERMANY

Consul Monaghan Makes Report to the
state Department.
WASHINGTON, March 12.-Vice Consul
Monaghan, at Chemnitz, reports to the
state department that owing to the in.
creased importation of American ma.
chimes into Germany, the total value Of
the imports of machinery increased from
$lO,472, 600 in 1890, to $l3,32S,OOO in
1898. The vice consul transmits two
newspaper reports touching upon Amer
lean trade with Germany. The first APP
peals to the German shoe manufactur.
ers to combine to secure an increase Of
the tariff on shoes to 90 per cent, in
order to ward of the invasion Of Amer
lean shoes.
Another extract inveighs severely
against the German officials who award
cd n contract for 20 locomotives, charg-
ing that the Americans made their bid
appear lower than the German bidders
by emitting the tariff, amounting to
about $1,000 on each locomotive. This
business trick" is severely criticized.
and there is also a reference to Ameri-
can locomotives as inferior, being loco
motives built by the dozen"
The vice consul. however, says the
easy duplication of parts i'll the American
machines is really a great virtue. while
the bureau Of foreign commerce points
out that American companies who bid
upon locomotives corrected the bid IL
compensate for the tariff before the
awards were made.
