SPORTS
POLICE STOPPED THE FIGHT
INTERPRETED IN TIE NELL
o'BRIEN CONTEST.
Captain Got Ratified in San Francisco
and Thought a Knockout Blow
Had Been Given.

San Francisco, Jan. 5.-Police inter
ference ended the Neil-O'Brien fight
at Woodward's pavilion tonight in the
middle Of the fifteenth round. The end
came so suddenly and the confusion
was so great that it is difficult to say
just what happened, but to an impair
dial observer ii appears that the police
captain in charge of the contest lost
his head when he thought NELL was
about 10 be knocked out, though he
claims O'Brien gave Neil a palpable
foul from his point Of view.
Up to the very last minute of the
fight IL looked as if NELL would win
whenever ne made UP his mind to so
in and mix matters. He forced the
pace after the third round and allowed
O'Brien to wear himself out with in
effectual leads, which he duCked,
blocked or took them without serious
harm TO himself. In the in-hghting
Nell showed to advantage, his blows
having much more force behind them
O'Brien impressed the 1000 spectators
as one Of the clevereSJ boxers and
shifty ringsters ever seen here. but he
lacked hitting powers. At long range
sparring he showed 10 great advantage,
landing both right and left with Won
derful quickness, and in uppercutring
erness, however, Il is the opinion Of
a great majority of the spectators that
he would have lost mad the fight gone
a few more rounds, as he was weak
ening fast
In the fifteenth round O'Brien landed
q short arm left blow on NeilTs solar
pleXus, causing the latter to stagger
and drop his hands. O'Brien was upon
him in an instant, SEEDING in both
right and left on NeilTs face and body
alternately. NELL staggered about the
ring, protecting his face as best he
could. when the police captain jumped
into the ring and waved the men TO
their corners.
The referee did not interfere and he
was disposed 10 let the fight go on.
Neil braced up and mOtiOned the. cap
tain out of the ring, but the officer
persisted and sent the men to their
Formers.
NELL was seen in his dressing room
after the fight and said he had been
struck in the groin while in a clinch
though he showed no signs Of such a
blow.
O'Brien said he landed a fair blow on
the solar pleXus at close range, and is
dissatisfied with the ending, believing
he would have won but for police in
reference. All / want is another
chance to prove Il" said O'Brien.

HEROINE OF THE LATE WAR.
No Son to Continue Her Family's
Patriotic Tradition.

The monument erected by the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution to the
memory of Rubena Hyde WalwOrth,
whose name is numbered with heroes of
the Spanish-American war, was unveiled
tne first anniversary OF her death, in
Greenridge cemetery. at Saratoga.
The monument, designed by Mr.. 9. 3.
Garfield stands upon raised terrace at
the head of the main avenues. When the
American nag which formed its veil was
drawn it revealed an Obelisk of pure
white granite. perfect in its architecture.
1t is thirty-two feet high and seven feet
six inches square at the base. The name
and inscription are in letters Of bronze.
It Is usually the work of many years to
raise a fund and erect % monument to a
hero, but scarcely eight months have
elapsed since the Mary Washington Co
lOnial chapter, under the efficient aus
pices of Miss Lillian Montgomery. first
sent out letters and began to make re-
quests for aid in the undertaking.
The Saratoga, the Manhattan and the
TOnkers chapters lent their aid
The requests were quickly responded to.
Miss Helen Gould sent 500 and 500 was
contributed without delay by the Olym-
pia club of small boys. while some of the
poor soldiers who had been nursed by
Miss WalwOrths tender care unable to
do more sent offerings of 80 cents.
Miss Walworth Is a hero Of the no
blest kind. When the war with Spain
broke out she was teaching painting
in a New York school Her family,
who for generations bed sent a son to
war to fight for his country, had now
no son to send. She resolved to go, to
nurse the soldiers. After a short pre-
paratOry course at the Saratoga hospi-
tai she went to Fortress Monroe; later
to Montauk. where she took entire charge
and was the only woman in the Detention
hospital. a place filed with malaria. yell
low fever and diphtberia. What she was
to these poor sufferers is beyond power of
description
Even when Camp Wyckoff became a
pest hole she refused 10 leave until she
had cared for the last patient, and soon
after the last one had gone from her
care she. too. fell i'll. The end soon fol-
lowed Typhoid fever was not long IN
taking her away.
Her name will be handed down with
the names of the brave who laid down
their lives for their cOuntry's flag.

A Woman's Hand

(Arthur J. Stringer in Harper's Maga-

The dawn grew golden in the east
The dancing and the music ceased.
This WOrld-the world of men-aWOke
And then the guest who tarriad spoke.
And as he spoke ne took her hand
In his the could not understand
And held II. tiny. white and slim.
While she in silence gazed at him
soft. little, tender. birdlike thing.
May time or toll he murmured, bring
No line to thee. poor girtish Eand!
ooh, he could never understandD
Then she. with one strange, wistful look
Drew hack the hand he idly took,
And. smiling. hid it from his gaze
While he bowed low and went his ways
The little hand remained the same
Soft birdlike little thing. and no toll came
To take its tenderness away
Nor steal its beauty day by day.
For in the world its only task
Was but to press a wavW2rd heart
(Ah little hand. so Whine and sllmD
That ached with al her love for him.
