hudle Lenny DlSpldyS ROugn aOuse Tactics and Is Disqualife Kid Me. Coy Has Returned and Wants to Fight Jeffries Sam Harris Wants te Back McGoyern for $1O,0OO- Mahe1 Says He Will Watch the Outcome. 1 Philadelphia, Aug. 6.-The boxing tactics that Eddie Lenny of Chester, displayed in his bout with Young
 Erne, of this city, Monday night did
 not suit the spectators, who crowded l the National A. c. to the doors, a little bit, and nearly caused riot.
 l Lenny fought in the toughest possi- ! bIe manner from the start but the referee tolerated his style of boxing
 until the fourth round, when in q clinch he so deliberately fouled Erne l by chokeing him that Referee Jack 1 Michigan had no other course than to
 disqualify him. .
 l The fight was without doubt the toughest and most exciting that has I ever been decided in the ring of the National. The boys had no sooner
 shaken hands than .Lenny rushed at Erne like small-sized cyclone.
 They clinched and both went to the l floor with crash. That started the game in rough direction, and until l the bout was stopped there was enough l falls to do honor to a football field. Patsy Hogan of Chicago appeared in l the semi-windup against Lew Ryall. l The bout was a good one and the mill Ling was so even that there was no diff l ference at the conclusion. In the three bouts constituting the preliminaries Kid Beebe had a shade on Blink Nc 1 Closkey; Todo Moran was too much for
 Tommy Scott, and the referee stopped l the bout in the fifth round, while Billy 1 Willis had the best of Joe Jackson. ---~A-s-. New Haven, Aug 6. Regarding pos sible interference with the coming prize fight at New London, Secretary l s. P. Thrasher of the Law and Order l league, said: sThe chief justice has l the power to convene the superior court for the transaction of criminal business at any time. ! see by the papers that MT Lucas has said that Chief Justice Torrance has agreed to hold court himself in New London at l the time of the fight. It may be 1n- teresting and a money scheme for Cor 1 Ibett and McGovern to enter the ring against each other, but when they l join hands and challenge the superior court of Connecticut they may learn
 some things about the game with
 which they are not familiar. The law
 makes the penalty for the contestants
 and their seconds a term in prison not
 exceeding five years, with no money penalty, and for all others concerned
 with the affair a fine and term not exceeding two years. I shall watch this new contest with interest.
 Philadelphia, Aug 6.Jack Dorman was billed to meet Tim Callahan at the
 Golden Gate Athletic club in the wind
 up Monday night, but was unable to do so on account of sickness. The management substituted George Rich ardson, who did not last longer than half of the first round against Tim othy. A swipe on the jaw put him down for the count and another as soon as he got on his feet, put him away back and the crowd went home.
 Bridgeport, Aug 46.--At Sailer's hall last night in the so-called sparring eX- :: hibition between Leon Miller of this
 
 lyn, the local aspirant for pugiIistic honors was knocked out in the thir- teenth round, Immediately after the close of the festivities it was rlmored on the street that this would be the last bout permitted in the city by the police, although no continuation of the report could be obtained. The fight was declared lively from the start. Miller started well, in fact, succeeded in drawing blood from Mississippi's nose and also cut his lip. In the eighth round the fighting was fast and furi- ous. In the thirteenth Mississippi caught Miller with a right hook on the point of the jaw and he went down, hitting the board with a resounding thump. It was clear case of knock !, out. Considerable betting was in- dulged in and Mississippi at the depot after the fight said that he was $20O to the good. Preceding the fight bets were offered in the hall and one enthu- siast offered to back Miller to the tune of $1sO0O. He made the announcement publicly. at which Roundsman Sanger declared that if any betting was in- dulged in he would stop the fight. Terry McGovern and his party of train- CTS were spectators, and altogether the s5O " eSs VI OlSNL 8ltiS II cal #tlllIlS duu lIi5 knockout genuine.
 ssKid' Mccoy, the Hoosieri boxer, returned from Europe yesterday and immediately issued challenge to meet Jeffries for the heavyweight championship.

Mccoy was looking well, and said that he enjoyed his trip immensely He will go to Saratoga to attend the races.

Harris yesterday offered to bet George Consi- dine, who is q great admirer of Young Corbett, and who won considerable money on the champions victory over McGoyern Considine has already bet $1 O0O at evens on the little westerner and he has decided not to bet any more for the present. as he believes fhof NTaGCynrn will na a hip fsvo1sif4a 4
