McGovern's defeat of Sullivan ac-
complished one thing that the fight
fans" like. 1t brought back Young"
Corbetts fighting spirit and he has
signed with Terry for another bout,
taking the champions privilege of
naming the date and setting it more
than seven months away
The men who did not patronize the
McCovern-SullivaD fight because they
had a hunch that it would be a short
affair made a poor guess. McGovern's
position as the strong favorite un
doubtedly kept hundreds from being at
the ringside. Those who stayed away
are sorry
Regardless of the confusion in con-
nection with the decision. it is admit
ted by practically every man who saw
the fight that Terry had Sullivan de-
cisively defeated. II was a great sur
prise to many followers of the game
that Sullivan lasted fifteen rounds. 1t
started talk that McGovern had gone
back. Some said the Brooklyn terror
could not hit as he did before Young"

The reports of the fight said that
McGovern repeatedly hit Sullivan
square on the jaw without hurting the
man from Cork. This, of course, is
not considered the mark of a world
beater. Much space is devoted to the
fact that Sullivan got to" Terry in the
fifth round and had him going. 1t is
also pointed out that McGovern made
many wild and ineffective efforts.
Counting only Terry's failings in the
bout would make him look much less
the fighter that he was before he
tackled Corbett. There is another side
toit, however. Young" Corbett first
taught the other feather weights that
the way to fight Terry was to fight him
back. Many of the men who lost in
short order to McCovern were con-
fused at the start by his rushing tao
tics. Corbett kept a cool head and
surprised McGovern. Sullivan sat at
the ringside and saw how it was done.
1t probably gave him a lot of conf

one of the fastest and most accurate

gagement was with indianapolis in '98,
but during the exhibition season he
met with an injury and was released.
His next experience was with Du-

st. Paul. As Comiskey did not give
him chance he went home in disgust
and did not play professionally again
until last season, when he was with
the st. Joe Club of the Western league.
During the season OF 1900 he was
member of julius Fieischmann'3

as the star catcher of the Western
League in 1901 and his admirers are
confident that he will be one of the
Nationals hest backstops in 1902.

Paris has learned the ART of trans
planting large trees successfully, so
that at the earliest signs of decay a
street tree may be removed and the
symmetry of the vista not spoiled by
its successor. For these trees alone
the expenses of Paris amount to about
$4,000 year. The municipal nurser-
les include a hospital" or cure"
for the tired trees, where they are re-
stored, IL possible, to health and

There is somewhat of a lull in the
quest of the two major leagues for
star ball play rs-that is to say, the
quest is less keen. The American

on the hunt for players, although the

The proposed match between Mau-

pions of France and America, 20 be
played in Paris early next month for
the worlds championship, will renew
the i'll feeling which has existed be-

Vignaux is the grand old man" of
billiards. Over threescore years of age,
he to-day is considered the greatest
exponent of the game. He made his
bow in the American billiard world in
1874, defeating Cyrille Dion in a match

ABOUT THE WILD ASS.
HIGh-splrlted and UntamabIe, They Fly
from Mans Presence.

HIE IL Spirited and Untamable, They Fly
from Mans Presence.
The wild ass may almost be said to
be the antithesis of the domestic spe-
cies The one is high-spirited and un-
tamable, the other the meekest and
most submissive of quadrupeds; the
one is as remarkable for its speed as
the other for its slowness; and while
the wild specimen ranks among the
most graceful animals of creation. its
every movement typical of the untram-
meled freedom of the desert over
which it loves to roam, and of the un-
fettered breath of heaven, which seems
to lend it wings, its subjugated con-
gener is awkward and ungainly. In
color the roulan, or wild ass, is q
creamy white, shading to fawn on the
back, with a handsome darker stripe
running from wither to tail and a
corresponding marking on each fore
arm; the head and muzzle are finely
nodded, the ears less long and pointed
than those in the tame donkey and
eyes large and prominent and as
bright as those or the Bazelle, and the
legs resemble in length and lightness
those of the deer. Wild asses congre-
gate in herds of from sixty to seventy;
and it is said by the natives that there
is generally but one male in every
herd. 1t is even rare to find a male
among the young ones captured No
pettier sight can be seen than one OF
these herds careering over the plain
sending up the solt spray like a show
er of crystal in their flight Theirs is
the very poetry of motion, but the
sight is too transient, their fleetness OF
foot carrying them out of the range OF
vision long before the enjoyment that
their beauty gives is satiated. Cham

The American League. at its meet
ing in Detroit came out fat-footed on
a major league basis and raised prices
of admission to the same scale as the
old National league. This movement
is one of the most important the
American league has made and places
it in position to cheerfully pay the
high salaries of its stars and at the
same time IS a notice to the public
that the American league is lit"
The playing schedule was adopted as
originally drafted with a few ex-
changes Of dates to make it more
equitable
incidentally, the league voted unani-
mously to raise President Johnson's
salary from $4,000 to $7,50O in recog-
milton OF the successful issue of the
war with the old league.
The schedule as approved by the
magnates suits all clubs. The Chicago
and st. Louis clubs are particularly
favored from the fact that they are
the best Sunday towns in the league.
Chicago is awarded thirteen sundays.
eleven Saturdays, July 4. and Labor
day, st. Louis gets exactly the same
allotment of plums except July 4. Co
miskey's team is scheduled in Wash
'ngton on Decoration day.
DeSoit gets eleven Sundays and
eleven Saturdays, July and Labor
day at home. Cleveland gets eleven
Sundays, ten Saturdays. and Labor
day, Boston has ten Saturdays, Bunk
er Hill day June ~, Decoration day
and July 4. Philadelphia gets eleven
Saturdays and two holidays, and Balu-
more and Washington eleven Satm-
days and one holiday apiece.
AS had been foreshadowed, the
ridiculous foul-strike rule that was
forced upon the Buffalo conference
was repudiated the American league
deciding 20 adhere to the rules of last
year in so far as this matter was con-
cerned.
After devoting long time to dis
Cussing the question of entering New
York, the magnates adjourned, leav-
ing the matter entirely in the hands of
President Johnson

did not expect any move to be made
at present He would probably estab-
lish offices in New York late in the
summer or early in the fall but these
would only be temporary headquar
ters.
Continuing, Mr.. Johnson said: My
associations are all with Chicago and
the west, and from purely business
standpoint | think the American
leagues permanent headquarters
should be in Chicago. That citys flu
ture importance as a business center
aside from sentimental considerations
will demand it"

AS VIEWED IN GERMANY.
The American Peril Lies in the De-
signs of Bold Financiers.

BERLIN, April 21.-The general terms
under which the German steamship COM
panies have joined the international ship
combination are understood to be fol-
lows: First. the German lines are to have
such representation on the board of con-
troll as to prevent their being outvoted by
the Anglo American interests. The German
companies will thus preserve their indie
pendence and will no more be controlled by
their associates than they will control
them Second, n pro rata distribution of
profits, according to tonnage, will be made.
Third, the German companies are TO share
in the advantages derived from whatever
agreements the ombination makes with
American railroads. Besides these princi-
Piles which broadly outline the basis of the
contract under which the union of the Ger
man lines is brought about, reports of
other ideas. less easily understood. are i'm
circulation. These are based upon SEEM
ingly authoritative information. One of
these reports is that ii is the purpose of
the allied lines that the management of the
combination shall consist of three groups,
of which the Hamburg American Steam
Packet Company and the North German
LLOYD Company shall count for two and the
Anglo-American lines for one. The future
working of the combination appears to be
provided for by a system which is largely
automatic, thus avoiding the possibility OF
conflict In management.
The newspapers, for the most part, dis
cuss the steamship agreement adversely.
The Berliner Tageblatt expresses the belief
that, although the profits of the German
lines may temporarily increase. ii will be
at the loss of free development in the
future and the exposure of German bust
ness to destruction, which American fool
hardness and American conceit of their
greatness are sure TO bring about. The real
American peril, continues the Tageblatt,
does not lie in American competition, but
in the possibility of bold American finan-
ciers entangling German business in I'M
