The stock market was barren Of any
well defined issues bearing on prices of
securities as for several days past.
Nevertheless there was a general and
quite pronounced collapse from the
ilrmness which has been characteristic
of the undertone OF the market for sew
eral days past. The reaction took its
initiative from the European bourses.
The foreign selling here was in very
considerable volume and was accom-
panied by rumors OF new disasters to
the British military forces in South Az
RIGA. The denial Of these reports failed
to check the reactIonary tendency, The
decline caused the taking Of profits by
spectators who have held through sew
eral days of rising prices and were
weary waiting for further advances.
The halt in the advancing tendency also
encouraged the putting out OF short
lines by the professional bears. Even
allowing for all OF these professional
movements. the volume OF the dealings
on the decline were rather impressive

journey from Kimberley, South Africa,

NEW YORK, Feb 22.-Joe Walcott. the
Barbados negro, received the decision
over Joe Ghoynski, of California, in the
seventh round of what was to have been a
twenty-five round contest, before the
Broadway Athletic club tonight. Choyn-
ski was practically outclassed, and recetv-
ed very severe punishment. Walcott
weighed 147 pounds ans Ghoynski 163.
The betting made Choynski a prohibitive
favorite, odds of 100 to 80 being freely
laid on his chance, but after the first
round, in which ChoyIiski went to the
floor five times, the odds shifted, and at
the beginning of the second round Wal
colt was a to 1 favorite.
Both men stripped in excellent condi-
ton. All through the fight Walcott was
on the aggressive. He rushed Choynski,
sending his right to the stomach and
left to the head at will In the third
Choynski was foored four times. The
first time he measured his length on the
canvas floor he was hit with right under
the jaw Another hard right in the vi
entity of the solar plexus put him down
a second time, right cross on the jaw
caused his third flooring, and a left put
him down the fourth time.
Walcott was very nimble on his pins,
and danced around while Choynski was
regaining his feet.
Choynski came UP very groggy after
his fourth Touchdown, only TO go down
again from right on the point of the
chin which sent him fiat on his stom-
ach to the floor of the ring. It looked as
if Choynski was cut for good, but three
seconds after he went down the bell rang,
and he was helped to his corner
WALCOTT FORCES FIGHT.
Walcott forced the fighting in the sec
ond sending his right to the body, and
landed hard left on the jaw. Choynski
replied with singing right on the head,
which staggered Walcott to the ropes.
This round was fairly evenly fought, but
Choynski, although having superior reach
and height, failed to land a good blow,
as Walcott was always able to dodge or
return the lead made by the big Califor-
MAN.
They rushed to a clinch in the third.
after which Walcott jabbed his left to
the face, and swung the same hard to
the body. Choynski tried left and right
and put both hands to the body, and in
the clinch which followed sent his right
hard over the kidneys.
In the fourth Choynski managed to land
a couple of hard right-handers on the
body, but the negro sent back lefts and
rights on the body and face, doing par
tieuIar damage with his left on the side
Of the head.
The fifth round was all in Walcott's fa-
vor, and in the sixth he cut Choynski's
right eye with left-hand swing.
The Californian was groggy when he
came up for the seventh round, and after
he received right on the wind and two
lefts on the face, he staggered in an
evidently helpless manner. Walcott then
landed left and right on the Jaw, forcing
Choynski to the floor. and when the lat
ter regained his feet, Walcott rushed him,
but was stopped by the referee, Johnny
White, who declared Walcott the winner.
White said afterwards that he felt that
another blow would have put ChoynskI

War VIII Follow.

CHICAGO, Feb. eat is not unlikely
that the developments in the next few
days will bring on a row between the Ma
tfonal league and the American league,
and that all the clubs will be involved.
President Hart, of the Chicago club, pos
itively asserted today that he would
brook no Interference in the local field,
and that should Charles Comiskey persist
in putting club in Chicago, it viii mean
the breaking of the national agreement
President Hart made the prophecy that,
should an American league club be put
in Chicago, it would mean the beginning
of the end of the organiza ton presided
over by President Ban Johnson. Mr..
Hart said the National league would de-
fend itself to the utmost. 1t did not
court war, but, should the issue be fore
ed on them, the Chicago league club, at
least, would not be backward in adopting
means to defend itself.
