IN CHESS CIRCLES

The echoes of the match with Brooklyn
are, of course the great subject ofHdiscus-
sion in local circles this week. The quite
decided defeat. s to 4, is not, taken to heart
too much owing to the well-known general
superior standing OF that club among the
other organizations of the country.
The belief, too, is entertained that had
the locals not been deprived unavoidably OF
the services of Messrs. Goldborough and
O'Farrell at the last moment they would
have still less to regret.
One point of discussion is. should the
team. for local benefit In the future, be
larger or smaller? 1t is held almost unanI-
mously that ii should be larger. 1t is point
ed out that the first six boards scored III
points while the lower six made up the
other 2l2. The idea of the smaller number
comes from the acknowledged superiority
Of the upper half over the lower; but bal
ancing that is the fact that these are up
against the very best of a more than aver
themselves proud to take half the games.
and then comes the further fact that the
local club is acknowledged strong In play
erS just under the first strength.

EXCITING FIGHT.
General Mix-Up at the Sullivan-Abel
Scrap


The boxing bout at the West End Attn
letic Club, St Louis, last night between
Kid Abel Of Chicago and Tommy Sullivan
OF New York ended In the fourteenth round
amid scenes seldom witnessed in the souar-
ed arena.
Sullivan practically won the battle on q
foul blow delivered below the belt, but lost
the decision because his manager. tempo-
rarily losing his head, jumped into the ring
at time when his protege was almost help
less from the punishment he had received.
At the conclusion Of the bout the police
managers and handlers of the boxers and
several spectators jumped into the ring
and became mixed in an indiscriminate
mass. In some instances blows were ex-
changed. From the beginning Sullivan be-
labored Abel at will.
In the fourteenth round, during a mix-un
In Sullivan's corner, Abel struck the New
Yorker a blow below the belt which Knocked
tors. Vernon Johns. Sullivan's manager
jumped through the ropes and expostulated
with Referee Dave Nelson. Nelson paid no
attention to Johns and started to count Sui
livan out. This caused general row.
A physician was finally called and after
hasty examination of Sullivan he stated
that the fighter had a bad confusion of the
groin. Referee Nelson stated he had not
seen the foul blow delivered, but from the
such was the case. Under ordinary cir
cumstances, he said, he would give the de-
cision to Sullivan. but under the rules he
was forced to diSqualify him because his
manager had invaded the ring He then
proclaimed Abel the victor.

The War Horse.
From the Londsn Spectator.

ttIe L0Hu9n SpeCtdtUf.
The horse in war is expensive, fragile
and a fool; he is greedy, and his food is as
bulky as himself; he requires an expert to
keep him efficient under hard work, and a
miracle to keep him alive under heavy
fire. He must be watched and guarded
more carefully than the lines of commune
cation both in action and in camp: lie is
coward; the race of them that snorted
"ha! hal among sthe trumpets, the roise
of the captains. and the shouting is dead

first opportunity, probably with three days
rations at his saddle bags and q useful rifle

ager told him that damages could be col
lected against him if he didn't ride. Final
ly the little fellow was prevailed upon to
dress. He did so, but refused to go onto
the track. He said that he knew some
thing was going to happen to him. His
manager, F. Ed. Spooner treasured him
that he would ride all right and win the
race, and that his fears were groundless.
The little fellow had a world of confidence
in Ed and mounted his wheel for the last
time in his life.
The Dangers.
These two accidents are the everyday
possibilities for rider who undertakes to
follow the motors. Every revolution Of the
pedal is a whirl nearer or farther from
death or a frightful accident. In fact,
every time a rider mounts his wheel he
has for his steersman the grim reaper
death seated on the pommel of his saddle
1t Is this possibility of serious accident
that makes the game so fascinating to the
pubic and arouses the intense enthusiasm.
