Battle in London and English
man Is OutcIassed.

New York, March 19.-Terry MCCOY
ern has given a broad notice to the ef-
feet that he will soon be ready to fight
any feather weight or light weight in
the world and that nobody will be barr
ed. He specifically mentions Frank EIne,
the light weight champion of America,
and Tim Hegarty. the feather weight
champion of Australia, as subjects for
ring battles with him in San Francisco

Frank E,rne is in California and Tim
Hegarty on the way to San Francisco
matches be arranged
Even George McFadden, whom MCCOY
ern refused TO meet after cOnQuer1ng Joe
Cans at Chicago, is not barred IN the
latest ultimatum to the world OF Tearner
and light weight pugilists. Only few
months ago McGovern considered Nc
Fadden too foul a ring operator to trust
himself against, and allowed that rather
than take a chance of being fouled and
perhaps severely injured he would cut
AIcFadden of his fighting list
As McFadden was the only man Terry
ever barred the cry of course went up
that MeGovern was afraid to concede
weight and meet the New Yorker. Stree
posed to disregard rules, much to the
amusement OF fight followers won a bat
tie because he was fouled. This rever-
sal of the usual order gave the impress
sion that McFadden had perhaps learn
ed to hit where the rules permit Any
way, McGoyern has decided that NJ
Fadden may come in if he wants a fight.
That AcGovern is willing to fight He
garty, the Australian, is nothing strange
but his willingness to give Frank Erns
another battle is a new turn in affairs;
AlcGOvern, It will be recalled whipped
Erne in New York last summer. Erie
made a low weight for the fight and
claimed that AIcGovern promised him
another match at the true light weight
figure of 1873 pounds. Ever since that
time Erne has been following NcGOvern

when McGovern arrives there. He VIII

The Brooklyn champion stipulates that
matches with Erne, McFadden or E1egar-
ty must come after his bout with Oscar
Gardner. This Will put the operations
over into May, but in all probability the
tights. If they take place. will be held
before the end Of the racing season.
McGovern will leave New York for
San Francisco about the first of April
He has never been to the Pacific coast,
and his appearance in that part of he
country is expected to be a red-letter
affair in pugilism. Sam Harris and
Danny Dougherty will accompany Terry
on mis- western trip.

1T IS THE WAY YOU USE 1T.
It's the Method Employed Which
Makes Success or Failsre.

One man with pen, ink and paper can
produce a landscape, another man with
same pen and ink may not be able to
write his own name legibly. 1t is all in
knowing how.
It is equally true in the use of medi-
cines The same remedies we have to-
day have existed for thousands of years.
but if their existence was known the
knowledge of how to use them was lack
ing.
They became valuable to the human
race only when experiment and science
showed the way to use them to get re-
suits.
The grip is an old disease with a new
name; it is really catarrhal in char
acter and the usual symptoms are those
of acute catarrh, but the old time
catarrh powders, salves and sprays do
not cure it. neither does the application
of antiseptics through an inhaler give
anything more than relief for a short
time.
The antiseptics are all right; they will
kill the germs of catarrh and grip If
they are applied rightly, but their local
application to the nose and throat avail
little because the germs are in the blood
and through the whole system
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain many
of these same autiseptics, that are used
in sprays and inhalers, but instead of
applying them to the inf1aned mem
braneS of the nose and throat, they are
taken into the stomach and thus reach
the blood, the real seat of the disease.
and drive out the infectious germs
through the natural channels of the
bowels and kidneys
In other words Stuart's Catarrh Tab
let's reach the cause of the mischief in
stead of merely local symptoms.
The remarkable success of these tab
let's in curing grip, catarrh and throat
and lung troubles is because they drive
the catarrhal poison from the system,
and the nose and throat become clear of
the excessive secretion of mucuss which
causes the hawking, splitting and gag
ging, because the secretion is not sup
piled from healthy blood
Two years ago Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets were unknown, but today have be-
come SO popular through positive merit
that druggists everywhere in the United
States, Canada and Great Britain now
sell them

PEDDLAR PALMER LOST.
Harry Harris, of Chicago, Wins Over
the English Bantam.

London, March 19-At the National
Sporting club last night, Harry Harris,
of Chicago, defeated ''Peddlar'' Palmer
of England on points in a fifteen round
boxing contest.
Harris had the advantage of nearly
five inches in stature over his opponent.
Both were in splendid condition. The
attendance was large as the match ex-
cited the greatest interest. Harris was
the favorite in the betting, the odds be-
ing five to four.
In the opening rounds Harris had the
worst of the exchanges, but from the
fourth round he made the most of his
extra reach and in the sixth round he
had his opponent in a bad plight.
The E.nglishman showed indomitable
pluck. and in each of the five succeed
ing rounds went to his corner in a dazed
state Toward the end Palmer put in a
gallant fight and quite as strong as his
rival, but Harris renewed his left jabs
in the face and won fine contest on
points
Palmer was badly punished about the
face, but his courage earned him the
applause OF all present. So far as points
were concerned it was a one sided battle
Palmer failing to display his usual dash.

Of some church funds and during the
reading OF the minutes the pastor said
they were incorrect and Mr.. Davis is
charged with calling the pastor a liar.
The preacher dismissed the meeting
with the benediction, then walked down
to Davis and landed one on Davis face.
Davis staggered back five or six yards
to keep from falling and DR.. Bryant
stepped in the aisle between the preacher
and Davis, and Whack the preachers
nose, sending him to grass between two
Seats and then the fun broke lose.
The limit was taken off, and Brothers
Hudson, Ewing Babbs and Burton Waded
daughter, Davis and DR.. Bryant in the
melee, and the fighting was SO close and
dense that not much harm was done IN
til the cane one of the deacons was
using over the heads and bodies of all

down the aisle and threw Brothers
Burton and Davis in front of each other
and Davis reached for Blurton's solar

fight.

Baltimore, Nd, March 19.-Captain
Robinson of the Baltimore team said to-
day he expected that the American
league season to be opened in this city
by the Boston club. The Baltimore
stands and grounds are rapidly ap-
preaching completion. Arrangements
are being made for a big demonstration
and parade on opening day. McGraW
left Hot Springs today for Baltimore.
Hanlon has signed Frank Kitson,
pitcher, and Charles Farrell, catcher,
for the Brooklyn team.
Hanlon said today: I'VE anticipate
losing money this season, but we will
win in the long run The promoters of
the American league cannot stand the
cost Take McGraw's club. for instance
1t is one Of the best and cheapest in the
new league. His salary list will be
about $4,000 and his running expenses
about $4,000. If the Boston clubs sal
airy list is based on the figures it claims
to be paying the payroll win be $4,000,
and Philadelphia but little less. This
means for the eastern clubs an average
expense Of $4,000 for the season. The
season is about fl months and one
week, 100 playing days.
He figures that at % cents admission
it would require an average attendance
of 1000 people to a game to pay ex-
penses. and it would cost the Boston
or Philadelphia club owners $500 a day
to carry the clubs. The expense Of the
Brooklyn club last year was $4,000.
