will then meet Tommy Ryan of Syracuse
at 15S pounds.
OF recent years Mccoy has been fighting
all the best ones in the heavyweight class.
While Tommy Ryan has been sticking
closely to the middleweight division and
is very properly, in the opinion of the ma
jority of students, entitled to the cham
pionship laurels pertaining to that class.
The first time the men met was in
March, 1896, under the auspices of the old
Maspeth club on Long Island. The mill
ended in a victory for Mccoy in Is rounds
and it was practically the only defeat
over which the Syracuse boy has ever mad
to worry.
In September. 1897, the two met again
IN Syracuse and went into one of the
hveliest fights ever seen in Kingdom. For
three rounds it was a mighty even and
lively 90, and then, some claim. matters
got so lively that the police interfered and
stopped the go in order to save Ryan.

them to come together at Tattersalls by
an offer of a purse of 5000 and the pres

Chicago club. Champion Jeffries will be
behind Ryan in the go. Ryan and Jack
Jeffries are in Chicago already, and the
Mccoy camp viii move soon.
It ought to be one of the greatest six
round battle ever fought in Chicago, with
all of the science that anyone could wish
for. Ryan will probably give ava
some weight, but not much at that if he
is as heavy as he looks. The bout IS sure
to be a go for keeps. Mccoy and Ryan
have been talking back and forth so Ions

ring without remembering a few things

AN IDEAL CLIMATE.

The first white man to set loot on

SALT LAKE on the 23rd day of Sept,
1776, wrote in his diary: "Here the eli
mate is so delicious, the air so balmy,
that it is a pleasure to breathe by day
and by night" The climate of Utah
is one of the richest endowments of
nature. On the shores of the Great
Salt Lake especially and for fifty
miles therefrom in every direction
the climate of climates is found. To

Jeff Fooled Corbett.

IFrom the Cincinnati Enquirer.1
Variety performers and baseball play
ers are responsible for two thirds of the
slang that italicizes the American Ian
guage and they are also to be held
accountable for a similar amount of the
superstitions of the day. They talieve
firmly in 'mascots' and "hoodoos," and
so do a large majority of fighters. Anent
this fact, Billy Brady played it low
down on Corbett al Coney Island last
week. One of Corbett's superstitions is
it is unlucky for a fighter to be the first
to enter the ring when he is about to
engage in a contest. He forced Sulli-
van to enter the ring first at New Or
leans and he defeated him. He intended
to make Jeffries enter the ring first at
Coney Island, but Brady had Big Ed
Dunkhorst wear a blue sweater similar
ito the one that incased Jeffries' body.

Jeffries preceded that of Corbett and
his seconds. When they got to the ring,

CARTER AND JEvNE MATCHED
Billiard Experts to Play June 8 For
the American Championship.

Chicago. May 22.-After a week of
wrangling back and forth Eugene
Carter and Lloyd evn have been
matched to play for the th-ree-cushion
carom billiard championship of Amer
lea Carter is the present holder of the
title and was challenged some time age
to play Jevne, who posted a forfeit IN
support of his def. Waiting ten days
and getting no response, Jevne decided
to claim the emblem, which he did. At
the same time Carter decided to play
the game and covered Jevne's o
before it was taken down, although
Jevne had announced his intention.
Under the terms of the agreement as
signed the men are to meet at Green
& Cations academy Friday, June 8, and
play 100 points at three cushions for
$3.50 a side and the emblem, which goes
with the title now held by Carter. The
latter is at present sick in bed with
throat trouble and may not be able to
play at the time stated, but that is
provided for in the articles of agree
ment. Jevne has plenty of backing, and
h match is apt to be n of the best
betting affairs seen in this city in a
long time.

Wound Testers and Bob Goes to q
Hospital For Treatment

New York, May 22.-Bob Fitzsimmons
has trifed with more ons than he
should have. His latest FRANKS were
with a baby Lee from the Bergen Beach
Zoo, and the lanky Australian is now
nursing a festered fist and cursing the
day he ever made overtures to the royal
brute.
The animal took kindly to Bob, and
doubtless thinks more of him today
than ever before. He rolled on the law
with his new master, pranced around
and did the very best he knew how to
entertain and make himself useful. But
the poor brute snapped, in a bit of play
fulness. harder than he thought. His
teeth went deep into the ex-champion's
left fist and drew blood. Fftz grieved,
dressed the wound and assured Master
Leo all was well.
Instead of healing, the wound became
worse and festered, paining him much.
Fitz came to New York and had the
hand examined at Bellevue hospital. \
physician pronounced the injury not
serious, but prescribed great care ant
a rest until the wound a healed com

LEAGUE BALL RECORDS.
Hans Wagner Leads Batting-Cooley
Best First Baseman-Other Records.


Records of the league players. COM
piled for the first months work of the
season, show some statistics calculated
to amuse and possibly amaze the fans,
while some of the mysteries which have
so far attended the progress of the cam
paign may be elucidated by the handy
tables.
Hans Wagner, the hardy slugger Of
the Pittsburgs, leads the whole tribe in
batting with a percentage of .4S8-
Napoleon Lajoie ranks second and Flick
third, While old Jake Beckley. who IS
batting at a terrific streak, ranks fourth,
"a points ahead of the dreadful Dele
hanty, last years leader. An d TEA
ture is the fact that four members OF
the Cincinnati team-Peitz, Crawford,
Barrett and Irwin-are punched togeth-
er with but a few points from man to
man. So far of those who have played
10 games or more there are 10 batting
400 or better and So hitting above 300.
The Joke of the lot seems to be the
batting average of Fred Clarke, who
has achieved a percentage of .13S since
the cares of management began to
weigh him down.
Jack Doyle leads the bunch in base
running, and Thomas has scored more
runs than any other player.
Old Jim Mcclure leads h catchers
in field work. and Dick Cooley tops the
first basemen. La Joie holds the banner
at second, and the great shortstop, and
out1eld glOries are divided between
Donovan and Wagner.
Cincinnati has a team batting average
of .332. ranking second, the Quakers
leading with 1865. The Reds are sixth
in team fielding, with .92O-an odd rever-
sal of form from the light-hitting, clean
fielding Cincinnati teams of bygone
years. Philadelphia leads the crowd IN
long hits. and Brooklyn and New York
are tied for the lead in doubl plays, the
Reds being just behind. The greatest
of the batters, not only in the percen-
tage column, but in the matter Of extra
base drives is Hans Wagner, Beckley
showing best for Aliens men. Bernhard
the Philadelphia pitcher, appears t.
have a mortgage on the pitching laurels
for some time to come.

AFTER T-HIRTY-NINE YEARS
A Brother Sees His Sister For the
First Time.

Parsons, May 22.-An interesting meet
ing occurred here between c.. r. Buffan,
yardmaster Of the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas railway at this point and his sis
ter, Mrs. Mary Baker of Milwaukee,
Wis, whom he has never before seen.
The story is this: ThIrty-nine years
ago Buffman, then 4 years old, was liv-
ing with his parents in Topeka, Kan,
Buffan's mother left Topeka for a visit
with relatives in Wisconsin, and while
there was taken sick and died, leaving
the baby girl who is now Mrs. Baker.
Buffan and his father remained in Tope-
ka, and the baby girl was adopted by
her aunt in Wisconsin, and was brought
up as her own child. Not until her
marriage did the girl learn the truth.
Then she learned through the aunt of
her father, who had died and of
her brother, who was known to be some
where in Kansas. After considerable
trouble, Mrs. Baker located Buffan, her
brother, in Parsons. A correspondence
followed and then came the happy meet
ing of today.

Nichols Still in Boston.

Boston, May 22.-Pitcher Nichols Of
the Boston baseball club expected to
leave for st. Lou to join his club, but
received a telegram from Manager .Selee
telling him to remain at home unless he
could go into the game at once. Nichols
was unable to give his guarantee, as
he could not play ball if the weather
turned out damp or cold on account of
the rheumatism in his arm. Nichols
secuted the idea that there was any
danger of permanent trouble with his
arm and said he would be in condition
when the club arrived home.

BosToN's POOR SHOWING.
Some of the Reasons Shown For the
Teams Bad Work.

Boston, May 22.-The awful slump of
the Boston team has been the talk of
the baseban world up to late.
College engagements ave don much
to throw the team out of its stride. A
refusal to go south for necessary train
ing resulted in the club having on hand
a lot of pitchers wholly unfit for a hard
league game, and by extra exertion at
h start at least two of the best pitch
ers on the list went wrong, putting
work on the other men that they were
not capable of doing. Even with these
drawbacks a little ~generalship would
have helped the team to a much better
standing.
