CANS AND CROSBY DRAW
Fast Fight Between COIOred Light
weights Mt Louisville.

LOUISVILLE, KY. Aug. 2S-Joe Cans,
the colored lightweight champion of the
world, and Steve Crosby (colored), of
Louisville, fought a twenty-round draw
here tonight before the Empire Athletic
club. Cans was a decided favorite, but
the local man had large following, al
though he was defeated year ago by
Cans. Crosby's tactics at first were to
rush matters, but at the beginning of the
tenth round he began hugging and clinch-
ing, though occas- onally trying for a
Knockout punch. Cans superior gen.
eralship however. was always in evil
dence, and the local man was blocked
every time he tried to land In the tenth
round Cans went after Crosby and for
awhile it looked as if the Louisville boy
was going, but in the clinches he saved
himself and was able to withstand Cans
PUSHES Cans put him to the ropes time
and again, but Crosby's strength enabled
him to come again round after round
when it looked as though the champion
was a sure winner. In the nineteenth
round Crosby took a squirt and went
after Cans with a viciousness that looked
like defeat for the champion but Cans
kept him off with some hugging and
clinching, and the referee declared the
men We're SO evenly matched that he
could only call the bout draw.

BRITISH ATHLETES AT BOSTON.
Discussion of Programme for the
Forthcoming international Meet.

BOSTON, Aug. 2S-The Oxford-Ca
bridge athletes, who crossed the ocean
on the steamer Commonwealth to COM
pete with Canadians at Montreal, Sept.
a. and with team of Yale and Harvard
men at New York, Sept. q, arrived here
today. They were escorted to their hotel
and tomorrow will go to Montreal Mr..
knowles, the graduate manager, has a
iVely debate on his hands with the
American graduate manager on the two
important points Of whether there shall
be more than nine events in the pro-
grammes, whether or not any other place
than first count IN scoring. The English
proposal is for a programme consisting
of 100, 40, $50 yards one mile and two-miIe
runs high and long jumps, high hurdles
and throwing the hammer
Mr.. Knowles argument is that nine
events, first only to count, settles the
question of supremacy at once and gives
no reasonable chance for a tie Z e
American committee has suggested a re-
lay race. which is not favored by the
Britishers, as they know nothing about it
and have never trained for it.

Litchfield and Algona Iowa, will cross
bats. The two clubs have never met,
and while on recent performances Al
coma appears to have the stronger team
the reorganized Litchfeldrse are in shape
to wage a mighty battle. The recent
defeat of Litchfield by Waseca and the
fact that Algona beat the Wasecans
three straight games in the last series
played between those clubs makes 1t
look like cinch for the Hawkeyes, but
since the Litchfeld- Waseca game two
weeks ago Capt. Egan's team has been
shaken up and the weak spots around
second base and short field have been
strengthened. This game means mucn
to Litchfield, as a victory tomorrow will
give them the right to go after Waseca
and wipe out the defeat Of a fortnight
ago.

DENVER, Col, Aug. 23.-George Dixon

Only once or twice did the men under

vengeance, and in this round Dixon ap-

NAVAL OBSERVATORY.
Should Superintendent be Profession
 al Astronomer of Naval Officer.

Washington, March 10.-It appears that the trouble at the naval observatory Is not altogether of a merely personal na- ture It involves the old question wheth- CT the observatory should be under the superntendency of a line office of the navy or of a professional astronomer. The latter view has been held by the astronomical profession at large and also by Secretaries Tracy and Long. This Is founded not so much on any impossibility of finding competant persons in the navy or upon any dissatisfaction with the present incumbent as upon the fact that the frequent changes of duty to which naval officers are subject at short inter- vals, prevent continuity of administration and also upon the general principle that the appointment of superintendent should be made from persons in or out of tho naval service without restriction of any class, and should secure the most accom- plished and competent astronomer that can be found anywhere.

An officer of the British army, who served in India with the Seventh and the Fourteenth Hussars, Is spending few weeks in New York. The other day some friends were talking with him about In dia and his experiences there. and the conversation turned to Indian fakirs and their wonderful performances.
 "These fellows do perform some ex- traordinary tricks" said the British off, cer, but extraordinary as they are, the tricks are not so fearfully wonderful as some of the stories of them which are brought away from India by the tourists who learn all about India and It's people in the course of few weeks sojourn in some of the coast towns.
 "As a matter of fact, the greatest of the falkirs are never seen in the towns and cities. Their religion and supersti- tion will not permit them to wander from their native haunts. and only those who have travelled or lived in the widest and most remote parts of India have witness ed the performance of the really great tricks of the falxirs
 You must remember at the outset that the real thing, to use an Americanism, in the way of a Hindoo falxir, Is a man of secrets and of strange habits. He loves or affects to love solitude, and he works upon the superstition of his fellows in performing what are regarded by the other Hindoos as sure-enough miracles. He lives in comparatively seclusion, ex- iSting on heaven knows what.
 'Of course, at every opportunity, he ex- torts whatever he may from his fellows, but that is not much. And, stunning as he does the cities, it is only for a ven turesome foreign hunter that he may now and then perform and get any con siderable backsheesh. In his native state he is the filthiest human being I ever clapped my eyes on, and by long habit he has fallen into a chronic state of weirdness, so to speak.
 Report travels much more rapidly than one would suppose in the mountains of India, and once a party of foreign sportsmen or travellers appears in the up-country, a fakir is not long in strik- ing the spoor and he keeps to it until he comes up with the strangers. At such times the fakir usually travels with a small boy and a dirty bag filled with a promiscuous tumble of nuts, shells, trick paraphernalia and what not.
 ''The first time I ever met a no-dis- count fakir was In a wild, unfrequented part of India, where two other officers of the regiment, an army surgeon and myself. had gone on a hunting trip. We had spent the day beating for a tiger, which got away and had returned to camp tired and out of sorts. Taking an early dinner, for we were horribly hun

gry. we sat down outside the tent to smoke our cheroots.
 Suddenly, just before sundown, we noticed an uncanhy looking person com- ing toward us, grinning like a black devil, salaaming at every step and mumbling something which none of us could under stand. We knew, of course, that our visitor was one of the mountain fakirs, and we calmly waited for him to proceed to business.
 As he put down his bag with great delberation, the boy accompanying him curled himself up on the ground and seemed to be paying attention to nothing in particular. After a little the old cod ger produced, seemingly from nowhere a ball of ordinary cotton string. which had once been white. such string as shop keepers ordinarily use to tie up light par cells with
 "The mans hair was gray and his hide was as black as Erebus. He wore a dirty turban and loin cloth which two ar ticles constituted his apparel The boys outfit was no less elaborate.
 After tossing the ball of string about for a while-it was about the size of a billiard ball-he threw it high into the air. retaining the free end Of the string in his hand. Up and up and up went the ball, growing smaller and smaller the
 
 from sight altogether. To all appear ances it had sailed up until 1t reached the nearest stratum of clouds and disappear ed behind it. It was the mightiest ball throwing we had ever seen and was quite sufficient to attract our attention to any thing that the boy might subsequently do-and that was just what he wanted.
 As soon as the ball had disappeared, the falkir let go the free end of the string and there we had a line of cotton twine extending from about five feet from tho ground up to the Lord knows where When the old man found that the ball remained up in the air, refusing absolute ly to come down, no matter how wildly he gesticulated or how loudly he yelled at it, he was apparently much annoyed
 He tugged and tugged at the cord but he couldn't pull the ball out of space and as an evident last resort, he called the boy, told him to climb the cord and bring the ball down. Then we saw the spectacle of a boy 12 or IA years old. climbing hand over hand up line of cotton twine about the size of large pin.
 Up and up, higher and higher, the urchin went climbing as a sailor climbs a rope. until he, too, had disappeared be- hind the clouds which hid the ball. When last we saw him. he looked to be just about as big as the ball did when 1t dis appeared.
 'As soon as the urchin disappeared, there was more trouble for the fakir. The boy appeared very well satisfied with the roasting place he had found, and the old man was no more successful in
