made an excellent officer and his re-

SPORTING news.
A Tame List of Fights is Sched-
uled For This Week.
Mccoy and CreedOn Meet at New
York the Best.
FOUGHT ONCE BEFORE.
The Kid Had an Easy Victory in
Fifteen Rounds in 1897
And It is Not Thought That the
Australian Has Improved.

Chicago May 15.-Little of any impor-
tance is scheduled for this week in the
fighting line, the twenty-five round fight
between KID Mccoy and Dan Creedon
set for the Broadway club of New York
being the only bout that will attract at
tention all over the country. Then the
fight does not look to be much of a con-
test. It will be the second meeting be-
tween these middle or rather light heavy
weights. Back in 1897 Mccoy had rather
an easy time beating the former Aus
tralian in fifteen rounds and Creedon was
ent time. Creedon still has ambition
to shine as a leader of his class, but he
has not the stuff to back up any claims
he may make.
The Gilmore show at Tattersalrs to-
night will be the best thing of the week
locally. In Philadelphia there should be
a pretty meeting when Jack Mccormick
and Ed Denfass get together. They We're
matched here to fight once at Tattersalls s,
but Denfass did not appear. The men
have been threatening to mix up on the
street or any other place they meet, 50
bad IS the feeling between them. 1t
should be a great go, Denfass being lucky
if he can offset the fifty or sixty pounds
disadvantage in weight he will have.
At Dubuque. Iowa, Thursday night
there will be decided a fight that is at
tracing much attention there. Eddie
CrOake will meet a well thought of local
man in a twenty-five round battle. 1t
game in the state as the Lister law, kill
ing pugilistic contests. will soon go into
effect.
Jimmy Barry. once the bantam cham
pion of the world, insists. that he is in
earnest in his ambition to become a jock
/ ey. He said yesterday he would go out
to the Lakeside track this morning and
start a new career by exercising the
string. He can reduce easily to los
pounds.

BIG MILWAUKEE, MEET.
Annual Meeting of the L. A. W. in the
Wisconsin City Next Month.

Milwaukee. May 15.-Chairman George
@. Greenburg Of the district board of con
troll of the National Cycling association
has completed the programme of the four
connection with the annual meeting of
the League of American Wheelmen in
Milwaukee during the week beginning
July 8. The racing begins on the 18th,
continuing for three days and ending with
a big meet on Sunday evening.
The races are to be held indoors, in the
big exposition building. Criticism has
been directed against Greenburg for not
holding the contest outdoors, but the
chairman claims that the method decided
on will be satisfactory, even in July, as
the building is well ventilated and can be
kept cool under all conditions. A rivalry
among three outdoor track promoters
caused some inconvenience and delay in
plans and the selection of the indoor
track seemed to be the only solution of
the difficulty. In ALL So, 900 worth of
prizes are to be offered, of which $2,475
will go in cash to professionals.

A BOLD FAKIR.
Got the Better of Tom o'Rourke on a
Forged Check.


New York Spec to Cincinnati Enquirer
gan to ring vigorously Thursday morning
Tom O'Rourke was seated in the office at
the time and answered the call.
'Hellor' said O'Rourke. who's this
"Heiloi" returned the voice rs this
monte. H. P. Belmont. Who am
talking to? Mr.. O'Rourke, did you say2
Why, I am glad to know you, Mr..
O'Rourke. Say, want to take party of
night. Have you any box seats left?
Yes" answered Tom, quickly I have
some very choice seats in box No. 6.
They are well located and you can get a
good view of the battle. Will put them
aside for you, Mr.. Belmont2
Exactly" was the response.
Remember that want the best. will
send for the tickets this afternoon and
Will pay for the same with a check. Give
the tickets to my representative when he
calls, and 1 will be very much obliged to
you. Goodbye"
About 2 o'clock a dark-complexioned
young man, fiashly dressed and wear
ing a black Derby hat, strolled into the
hotel and asked to see O'Rourke. He
was about Is years old. Tom was not in
manager, who has charge of the sale of
tickets presented himself to the stranger
He pretended to be the representative Of
Mr.. Belmont. Handing over a check for
$50 he got the box seats.
When he had left the check was sent to
the bank and returned as a forgery.
O'ROurl1e was surprised and told Fred
Harvey, one of his men, to find out some
thing more about the check. Harvey
made the round of the uptown hotels, and
learned that tickets similar to those
which were received by the young man
were being offered below their face value.

bottom A majority of Comiskey's men
are veterans and it has been prophes1ed
they would be unable TO thaW out until
June The opposite has been true The
team mas Deen playing uniformly strong
pail against all its opponents, and the
nonors IN batting and pitching nave been
about equally divided Indianapolis was
not counted as formidable, but the Hoos-
iery have all the same put up a. splendid
article of ball
Milwaukee is still in the lead and there
IS small likelihood that the Brewers Will
go down IN the scale very far Connie
Mack is after the flag and the form dis
played by his team during the last few
days makes 1t at present the favorite.
Cleveland has played good ball, and the
team has been well supported at home,
despite the croakings of some National
league owners as to what would happen
to any baseball team placed in the For
est City where the unpopulartty Of the
RobisonS almost killed the game. Detroit
is going to the rear at a frightful pace.
The Wolverines have exhibited wretched
work in the field and the pitchers have
been touched up hard.
Minneapolis has been somewhat of a
disappointment. Manager Wilmot misses
the services of Jack Menefee, who is now
with the orphans. Menefee came near
landing the pennant for the Millers last
year, and his good right arm is missed
and that badly. Jimmy Manning was
swept clean of his good players last fall,
and is now looking for timber to strength
die of the road and doing better than
last year Hart is after President Frank
Inns first baseman, Carey, but the big
fellow is in favor at Buffalo and he will
probably not be seen in an orphan uni
form this season.

NATIONAL STALLION STAKES.
Will Bring Out the Best of Eastern
Two Y ear-Olds.

New York, May 15.-The national
stallion stakes, which is the two-year-
old feature of the present week at Nor
ris park. may turn out some good
youngsters. This stake is worth $780,
600, and if there are any real good ones
they viii be sent after this prize. Au-
gust Clawson has a bunch of five to
choose from; Phil Dwyer and Arthur
Featherstone each have four; the
F1eischnanns have five; F'ollensbee and
Chanler, two; Mr.. Keene five; Eugene
Leigh, three; John E Madden eight !;
A. H. and D. H. Morris, four; Green B.
Morris, FIVE; Charley Patterson, three;
w. c. Whitney, ten, and others in pro-
portion. Prince PoniatoWSki has an en-
try in The Peerless, a. filly by His High
ness-Pearlet. Surely, from such a
field as this seems to be, there ought to
be. some real ones flash from the smoke
of battle.
Mr.. Keene's quartet does not include
the winner. of the Juvenile, but Mr.. Ben
nington's Bellario is eligible, and
through this colt one ought to get a
very fair line on the others.
There is little chance of the three
year-olds meeting again until the Bel
mont is run. This stake is scheduled
for the last day of the meeting. Mes
merist is carded for the Claremont high
weight handicap, to be run on Thurs
ornac or Kilmarnock.
Kilmarnock will unquestionably go tC
the post the favorite for the Belmont.
