DIXON rs CONFIDENT
That He Will Best Terry McGovern
This Evening.


This Evening.
NEW YORK, January S-George Dixon
will defend his title to the featherweight
championship against Terry McGovern in
the ring of the Broadway Athletic Club
tomorrow night. Dixon has been in the
ring for twelve years, first striving for
and then defending the featherweight
championship, always fighting clean and
fair, and doing his best. He has put
down champions of England and Aus
tralia as fast as they were sent against
him. and his battles are numbered by
hundreds. In all these years he has been
knocked down only once and he has
nearly always defeated his man. But in
spite of his great reputation the betting
is strongly against Dixon, the odds being
10 to 6. Not for ten years has he failed
to be the favorite in any match, but now
wagers are laid at even money that Dixon
will be knocked out before the close of
the tenth round. Dixon does not fear
a knockout now. The betting does not
frighten him. He is as confident of de
feating McGoyern as he ever was of de-
feating any man he ever faced. But all
that can be dragged out of him about
the fight is: 81 don't know. l guess III

Ed Bearley, of the Crescent team, es-

the first two games was very good, but

his balls were true, and were sent
down with a skill and precision which
entitled him to the splendid score he
made. The best previous record was
270 made by Stewart Fake, of the
Wheeling team.
There was but one fall in the re-
marlQable work of Bearley, and it came
early in the game. After striking in
the first game, he made spare in the
second. If that ball had been strike,
his score would have ben 300. for every
ball sent down the alleys subsequently,
brought down all the pins. He made
ten strikes and one spare. If the spare
had been made in the first frame in
stead Of the second, it would have ad-
ded ten pins to his score.

CLEVELAND, O., January S.-A
murder, which for malice and cold
bloodedness surpasses anything which
has happened in this vicinity for years,
occurred last night, four miles north
east Of Adelphia.
The victim was William Bochard,
and the murderer James Hedges.
To the latter's crime is added that OF
having desecrated Bochard's home.
Bochard has for ten years past been
employed on the farm of William Mer-
kle, near Adelphi, and was married
about a year ago to Miss Bussard.
Yesterday afternoon Bochard started
to see his wife, and when he reached
home found his wife entertaining
Hedges.
He saw enough at glance to
convince him of the truth of rumors
he had heard that his wife was I'M
faithful and started after Hedges and
pursued him to room in the second
story of the house.
Here Hedges grabbed a can OF fruit
and hurled it at Bochard, striking him
on the temple and knocking him
sense1ess to the floor.
Hedges sought safety in another part
OF the house. Some time later Bcch-
ard staggered to lis fxet and decended
the stairs. He was met at the front
door by Hedges, who without saying
a word leveled a rifle at Bochard's heart
and pulled the trigger. Bochard was
killed instantly.
News of the murder excited the
neighborhood to an unusual degree and
Marshal Martin, who FASTENED to- ar
rest Hedges found him quite ready
to accompany him. Hedges was hur-
ried to Laurelville, arraigned before
Squire Black and held without bond.
