Tommy Ryan Awarded the Decision at
the End of the Bout.

KANSAS CITY, April 3.-Tommy Ryan
got the decision over Billy Stiff, Of Chi
cago, at the end of a ten-round bout in
Turner Hall tonight. Stiff was much out
classed. Ryan was the aggressor through
out and he landed upon the Chicago man
at will. The first three rounds were tame,
Ryan adopting his usual tactics of feeling
his man in the early rounds. Stift was
much the heavier, and Ryan was unable
to get in a blow with sufficient steam to
knock out his opponent or even TO knock
him down. Stifft's tactics indicated that
he was merely trying to stay the ten
rounds. He clinched repeatedly and In the
last round hung on to Ryan to consume
time. In the fourth round Ryan landed
some stiff body blows that distressed Stiff.

But the Chicago man came up fresh for
the next round and made his best showing
in the fifth and sixth rounds. He landed
a hard right on the jaw and followed 1t up
with a left to the body in the fifth. In the
sixth round he gave Ryan three hard ones
in the face and neck. Ryan tried hard to
knock his man out in the last two rounds.
He made a hurricane fight of 1t and landed
a dozen hard blows on the body and in the
face, but none of them had the effect he
desired. Henry Baker, of Chicago, was
referee.

EDICTS FROM CHINA.
They Relate to I~ntermarriage and
the Binding of Feet.

WASHINGTON, April a-The State De-
partment made public to-day copies OF two
Chinese cdicts which were sent to United
States Minister Conger at Peking under
date OF Feb. 6. These edicts. says Mr.. Con-
ger, indicate the loosening OF the bonds
of the old custom and the present trend
towards a new order Of things. The first
edict removes the prohibition of inter-
marriage between Manchus and Chinese
and is of political significance. says Mr..
Conger, as indicating a desire 10 emphasize
less strongly the distinction between rulers
and ruled. 1t also bids Chinese officials
and gentry TO persuade Chinese women 10
do away with the old custom OF foot bind
ing and let their extremities grow as nature
Intended. The practice, says the edict, is
IAN injury 10 the good order of creation"
The other edict is in line with the policy
declared in a number Of recent edicts and
c~ontemplates the sending abroad OF COM
petent Cinnamon 10 study western customs
and methods in order 10 extend the com
mercial relations OF the empire.

REGULAR PRACTICE BEGINS.
Manager watkins Gives His Players
Two Hours Work.

The sixteen ball players now in the city
and Manager Watkins gathered on the
Washington Park ball field yesterday aft
ernoon and. Notwithstanding 1T was just a
little chilly. Manager Watkins gave the
Hoosier candidates two hours of very fast
work. All but the pitchers were kept at
practice during the entire two hours and
there were lively times. The men acted
like a lot of colts that had been kept in
stables all winter and then put out on an
open field. They cantered around the park
and worked out the kinks that had accu-
INFLATED during the winter months.
The field was in good condition and the
players were assigned to position to try
them out. The pitchers were given a few
minutes each at tossing the ball to the bat
ters. They all acted as If they had been
practicing for a month. The men in the
infield gathered in the grass cutters that
were batted to them with perfect ease and
they threw to first with great accuracy.
Double plays were frequent. the men hand
ling the ball better than the base runners
acquitted themselves. The players in the
outfield did not shirk their work and Man
ager Watkins was well pleased with the
candidates for those positions. kim,
Myers, Fox, OBrien and Babb covered the
infield positions and they Won the admira-
ton of Manager Watkins. He declared
that indianapolis will have the fastest in
field of any team in the American Associa-
ton, and. in addition to their fielding quail
ties, they nave accomplishments with the
bat. The two new arrivals yesterday were
Miller and Hennessey.
Club owners and players alike did a lot
of wishing yesterday, and all for warmer
and fair weather. The players are anxious
to try conclusions with the Cincinnati team
tomorrow afternoon. It will be the first
game Of the season and the Hoosiers are
anxious to show their worth by winning
the contest. Sutthoff, Miller, Williams and
Davis will probably do the twirling for In
dianapolis and Woodruff and Teal will be
used behind the bat. Kihm will probably
play first.
indianapolis goes to Cincinnati Sunday
