 Boxers Going to England-Other
 Fighting News.
 When George McFadden and Gus Gardner came together some months ago McFadden was considered to l choice, and much money was wagered at those odds that Gardner would not last ten rounds. Gardner's friends quietly took in all the spare ducats in sight and prepared to give McFadden and his friends the biggest surprise that they ever received. When the night of the battle came it was ob- served that each of the men had trained faithfully for the affray, Gard her perhaps a little, the best. Gardner fought his man carefully and before the fight had gone very far McFadden learned that he was up against a pretty hard proposition. He made up his mind to finish Gardner quickly, but be-
  mistake in undertaking Gardner, he was taking the count, for Gardner had given him the punch that counts. Sung by this defeat McFadden has begged for another chance. and when Manager Crowley was trying to bring Tom Couhig and and McFadden to- gether, the latter asked that Gardner be asked to compete Gardner was ap- nd at Ta says that if AcFadden believes that 1t was an accidental punch that put him out before he still has that same punch ready to do the business again. Gardner is ambitious and wants to get after Joe Cans, and he believes that by again defeating McFadden he will get that opportunity. Both men are training as they never trained be- fore, and it will be one of the fastest, most scientific and hardest hitting bouts ever seen in New England
 The second preliminary could just as well have been designated the star bout for it will be the warmest con- test of it's kind seen in Waterbury. It will be even faster than the go be. tween Willie Lewis and young Wal colt. Manager Crowley was going to hold this bout for one of the prelim- inaries of the big fight when Corbett and McGovern come together, but de cided to give Waterbury the best bill possible. Those two chaps are clever boxers and can hit harder than any men of their weight in the ring today
 The first preliminary will see Jim Haywood, the Brass City Kid, and Charles McNally of Bridgeport doing things to each other. Haywood has been shut out of most of the ConnectI- cut clubs because the boys at his weight refused to meet him. He has been obliged to concede weight in the present case, but he wants a chance to get into a class where they cannot ignore him. He wanted the chance to go against Young Walcott in the last contests here, but he was sidetracked for Willie Lewis, and to-day he stands ready to meet Walcott or any other man at his weight in the country. This bout will be watched with interest, for | if Haywood proves to be the man his friends believe he is there will be a mint of money behind for future con- tests.
 Next Thursday evening will see those contests take place at Polls theater. and Fred Bullen of Bridgeport will ref cree.

without success, and the services or several physicians who were present : were procured. After half an hour or futile work over the injured lad strycn- nine pills were administered, but Wlth- otu avail. and finally ether was used. This drug had the effect of causing nausea, and a large clot of blood Whlcn had lodged in the throat was taken from him. The officials of the club, acting on the advice of the doctors' called an ambulance and Noonan was taken to the hospital. At late hour last night he was said to be suffering from q fractured skull and was on the dangerous list. The other bouts were called off. Tommy Dixon was placed under arrest by the police late last night. It is expected that warrants will be issued for the club management to-day.

At Springfield.

Springfield, May 23.-Meriden was defeated yesterday because the home players ffelded better and hit the ball at the proper time for scoring runs. Joe Connor and Scheffier distinguished themselves by catching difficult foul balls. Joe Thiesen was injured in the first inning and was forced to retire. Springfield took the lead at the start and Meriden could not bat when hit was needed and thus lost. The score:

In that inning New Haven made three runs and was never headed, although New London made a spurt in the ninth, but could get but one man across the plate. Umpire Shannon did not give satisfaction and Catcher SpieSGlan will have to take $10 off his salary, as Shannon fined him that sum for back talk. The score:

 ssThe trouble with Pitcher Matthew son is not that he is not trying to win all of his games, but it is because his arm is going wrong," said Umpire Hank O'Day yesterday. "Matty has been throwing that drop curve so much that his arm cannot help but give out.
 told him so last season, but he does not seem to heed any warning. The drop ball is the hardest a pitcher can throw, as it uses every joint in the arm and pulls opposite from the joint. It is a great ball to mix with others, but if a man keeps throwing it all the time 1 it is only matter of a short time until the arm will give out entirely. Mathew sons arm at the close of last season was very bad from just that reason, and he has started throwing the drop curve again this year"
 A Catholic clergyman of Hacken- sack attended a base ball game played on Sunday last within the limits of his parish. One of the competing teams was composed of young men belonging | to his church. The priest expressed | his approval of that particular game and endorsed Sunday ball playing gen l orally, provided, he said, that it was never allowed to interfere with the re- | ligious duties of the participants. ssBoys," he declared might do worse | things on Sunday" We believe that i Father Lambert's views of Sunday ball playing and, presumably, of all other forms of legitimate recreation now commonly indulged in upon the first I day of the week. are generally shared 1 by the clergymen of his denomination and also by some pastors not of his 1 faith. Any sport not wantonly inter- 1 fering with the rational observance of 1 Sunday, any sport which takes young
 men and boys into the suburbs and keeps them in the open air and sun- i shine and away from the saloons and | the street corners, should be generally i commended and encouraged, says the Brooklyn Eagle editorially. Take
 walk any fine Sunday along Eastern parkway and, look at the crowds play l ing ball. You may hear some shouting, for base ball is not as quiet as ping pong, and occasionally your ear will catch fra agments of language not en- | ployed in polite society; but these of 
 lenses against the accepted ideas of
 Sabbath observance may be forgiven
 when you realize that in the recreation itself there is nothing to degrade and
 much to improve. Sunday ball play ing is good thing when practiced
 within reasonable limitations.

New Britain, May g. About SOo people saw boxing match gwen Dy inc Pastime Athletic club i'll the Casino last night. The star bout was between Joe Handler of Newark, N. J. and sam Bolan of New York. It was one or |the fastest and clevercst exhibitions ever seen here. Both men fought from the sound of the gong in the first round until the fifth, when Handler was knocked down twice and oNt. Handler forced the fighting in the hope of knockout but Bolan was too clever for him and punished him so badly that he finished his work in the fifth round with a clean knockout.
 The preliminary bout was between Jack O'Grady of New Britain and Pete Drago of Hartford. O'Grady was given the decision in the fourth round. Dra- go being unable to defend himself.
 There was also a ten round bout be- tween Tommy Connolly of New Brit ain and Harry Galway of Waterbury. It was so tame throughout that the au- dience was disgusted The only decis- ion possible was a draw. as neither man struck an effective blow in the ten rounds.

CHANCES FOR YOUNG MEN.
Fortunes Founded on Honest Trades
Well Learned

From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
Is it not a thousand pities that young
men in casting about for openings in
business are prone to overlook excellent
opportunities, and end by trying to squeeze
in where there is least room for them to
grow? The unfortunate tendency among
our youth is to absolutely disregard places
where Shirt-cuffs and pressed trousers
would be out of place, yet many brilliant
successes and large fortunes have been
founded on an honest trade well mastered.
During the course of strike in this city,
in which 1,500 employees were involved. it
came out the other day that many of the
skilled workmen earned much 81 .0S
an hour. As they were on piecework. they
could easily earn $50 week without over
exerting themselves. They were not seri-
ously disturbed by the strike. They own
their own houses, and, as rule, have a
comfortable balance at their bankers. How
years dragged along in more genteel occu-
pations would find cause for envy in such
a condition of affairs?
How many thousands Of struggling pro-
fessional men, who have difficulty in max
ing ends meet would be glad to exchange
places with workmen who can make $50 a
week? Another great advantage which the
man with useful trade at his fingers
ends has over the average business man
who Is not his own master is the feeling
or comparative security. His trade Is al
ways valuable asset, and he is not likely
to lose his position for a trif1e or through
the whim of an employer. Even should he
lose one position. he usually has no diff
Guilty In finding something else Just as
good. Where there is another opening he
does not have to enter into competition
with all the f1otsam and jetsam of the
labor market. 1t is probable that an ad-
vertisement of a subordinate position, with
few prospects of advancement would call
forth at least ten times as many applica-
tions as the demand for a skilled me-
chanfc.

CHINESE NEWSPAPERS.
A Daily Journal Under competen
Foreign Editorship Needed.

From the CHRISTIAN lntellgencef.
There have recently come to our study
table the first issues of three magazines in
classical Chinese; the True Light, a month
ly magazine published by the American
Baptist mission in Canton; China's Young
Men. also monthly, published by the ma
tional committee of the Y. M. c. A in
China under the editorship of Mr.. ID. Will
lard Lyon Of Shanghai: the Lukiang News.
an Annoy newspaper started by the Rev.
James Sadler of the London mission, and
issued every ten days.
The first Of these Is, of course, devoted
mainly to the interests of the Baptist
churches in the Canton province and the
name of the Rev. r. H Graves, one of the
best sinologues in South China, in connec-
tion with This undertaking is sufficient
guarantee of its success. The second is
published bi-monthly and. as its name indi-
Gates; is devoted to the interests of the
young men In China and the low price puts
1t within the reach of all. We predict for
1t a large influence among the student class
in China. The name of the third is an cid
name of Annoy. and the paper Is designed
to be a thoroughly up-to-date newspaper
.pervaded with Christian influence and of
sufficient literary finish to secure a large
circulation among the literati well as
the business men of southern Fukien and
