 The coroner's jury in the case of Thomas Pendergast, the pugilist, who died a few hours after his fight with Kid Williams last Friday night, has returned verdict that deceased came to his death from rupture of a blood vessel in the brain caused by blows received in a boxing contest with Kid Williams, and in our opinion without
 malice" The gloves were examined by the jury and found to be over i've ounces. Williams Is out on $3,o00 ball.
 Chester Goodwin of Chelsea received the decision over Tommy Feltz of Brooklyn at the close of their fifteen round bout at the Tammany A. O., Bos- ton, Monday evening. The Brooklyn boy acted like one that was all in. In the early rounds he did some good work, bringing his opponent to his knees in the third with a left swing to the jaw, but after that he only occar sionally showed his old time form Goodwin was very fast, conaning him self principally to left Jabs and right crosses to the jaw. while Feltz, on ac- count of his opponents superior height, used body blows almost entirely.
 Sporting men say that if they allow fifteen and twenty-round bouts in Bos- ton and six-round bouts h Philadelphia and Chicago. the legislators of New York state should see to 1t that boxing is revived in the metropolis at least. Senator James T. Frawley, who will introduce a new boxing bill at Albany next month, said yesterday that he had l more support this time than year ago, and that he believed the legfsla- tJlre would take favorable action. With bouts limited to six rounds. or perhaps ten rounds under the gtrictest rules, there would be d revival of interest in boxing that would pervade all classes of men. Senator Frawley declares that If his bill becomes law the sport will be governed by men Of recognized ability and integrity and that all ob- jectionable persons identified with the game will be barred,
 Jim Jeffries, who is still on tour, an nounced yesterday that he would agree to meet the winner of the bout already arranged between Tom Sharkey and Jack Munroe. Jeferies further said; t'Munroe has done the proper thing by taking on Sharkey, whom consider a hard proposition. If he whips him he will be in line for heavyweight honors, and will be prepared to sign articles at once for d fight before the club do IAn xxAn x -n,sI-a on the other hand is successful, will also take him on. even though I have whipped him twice already. I will agree to this because have never been found wanting when called upon to defe2d my title. Munroe and the ex- sailor should put up an interestinS bout and may the best man win" It has been decided to choose referee for the battle between Sharkey and Munroe two weeks before the contest Is held.
 Some boxers in Pittsburg were dis cussipg the Fitzsimmons "sh'ft." Billy Corcoran put Tn what he con nsidered the last word in the matter. "Fitz is the only felIow.H he said. stwho has been able to get away with that play sue cessfully. It takes very clear eve, a pair of fast feet and q hard punch to carry 1t off right and incidentally. B little fast thinking doesn't hurt. for 8 false move misl1t get you in trouble. Here 1t Is: 'Fitz, while fighting close, will make feint for the head with his left. which will usually bring the other fellows right arm up. Like a fash FitZ'g left foot goes behind h's opponents right foot, and this will con fuse the best of them. Fftz makes an other feint, this time with the right, and this brings his opponents left arm up. for he Is confused by having his foot caught. and Fitz drives, but not too hard. into the stomach. Both of his opponents arms come down just while Fitz's fist is whistling through the air for that uncovered jaw, and he usually lands. When he does, it's time to go home. But you do not see Fitz
