Eddie HanlOn Tells Of His Last
Frisco Battle.
Gives Inside Facts Of Bout With
Young COrbett.
HAD BEST OF CHAMPION
Only the Gong Saved Denver
Boy at One Time.
Crowd Around the Ring Were
All for HanIon.

New York March 13.-Willie Lewis,
the lightweight fighter of this city, has
received an interesting letter from Eddie
Hanlon OF San Francisco telling of his
battle with Young Corbett He says:
Il came very near being champion,
didn't Anyway, Corbett viii not get
over the beating gave him very soon
won that fight all the way. and III bet
that when TuthfH and Corbett see you
that they viii tell you the same thing.
Corbett said himself that he was pretty
lucky. had him going q dozen times.
The gong saved him for sure in the
eighteenth round. I hit him a right
hand punch in the stomach and he fell
on his face Everybody thought it was
all over and started to leave the build
ing. He just got on his feet as the bell
rang.
When L went back to my corner I
told my seconds that felt as strong as
a bull, and said thought I would go in
and finish Corbett in the next round
They advised me otherwise, saying that
had the fight won all the way, and
there was no use in my taking any
chances. Everybody around the ring
told me to hold back, too, as I had won
easily. When the referee called the bout
a draw the crowd tried to get at him
The best of all was that in the sixteenth
round one of my seconds said to the
referee. 1t couldn't be a better fight.
And the referee said: There was Moth
ing to it but Eddie
THE reason that Corbett was not
given the worst of it was because he is
matched to meet McCiovern. The clubs
wanted me to fight McGovern, but I will
take a rest first"

brother is rather interesting and very
unusual
J. II. Pryor lives at Richmond. No.
When he and his brother grew to man
hood they started out for themselves,
the young brother going TO the west.
J. H. Pryor located in Missouri and in
a few years the brothers had wander
ed far apart, each losing sight of the
other. Mr.. Pryor often wondered where
his younger brother was and several
times tried to locate him, but with no
success.
Recently a friend of J. H. Pryor who
had been visiting in California return
ed to Richmond and in talking with
Mr.. Pryor about his trip incidentally
mentioned the fact that he had met a
man in California named Pryor. J. H.
Pryor became interested at once and
began making inquiries. Finally he
wrote to the man in California asking
about his name and family and was
surprised when in a few days he re-
ceived an answer that proved conclus-
lively that the California Pryor was his
brother. He Immediately made ar
engagements to visit him. When they
separated 81 years ago they were ro-
bust young men. and when they met
both aged gray haired men, they could
hardly realize that they were brothers.

Ellis, March 13.-It is said here that
q citizen of this town is disloyal to
Kansas and is advertising for a wife in
Colorado. A copy of a Denver paper
has been received here containing the
following article:

chance, for here comes ]. A Wheeler of
Ellis, Kan, wailing that he wants a
wife-and women thicker than grass

But Mr.. Wheeler evidently does not
find any to suit, for he writes a promin-
ent Denver minister warm and earn-
est epistle begging him to use his good
Offices in the matter Of securing for Mr..
Wheeler an acceptable help meet.
Dear Sir" he writes in very frugal
penmanship, on which little ink is
wasted, 4 am young widower and
wish to remarry. Thinking possibly that
in the large circle of your acquaintance
you might know of some worthy girl OF
good character that stands in need of a
good home and kind husband. and
having heard you spoken Of great deal
as helper of the poor and needy, :
write you"
After this much in very plain proof
that the intentions OF Mr.. Wheeler are
highly benevolent, the letter proceeds
with modest and concrete enumera-
ton of his prominent characteristics
Il am IS years of age five feet in
height and weigh l65 pounds have
blue eyes, sandy moustache and light
hair. I am in good circumstances and
can provide wen for a woman of good
character and viii furnish first class
references. 1 have also a pleasant home
unincumbered.' -
AS an evidence that Mr. Wheeler is
strictly ION the level" and means BUSH
ness, there comes the following:
Now, II you cant do this, kindly hand
this letter to some one who will attend to
1t and l viii pay him well, If suited
Now come the specifications and require
ments.
II would like a sweet girl from 20 to

CLEVELAND FANS.
They Bitterly Oppose the Foul Strike
Rule.

Cleveland, O., March 1S.-The Cleve-
land patrons Of the American baseball
club are unit in opposition to the foul
strike which has been forced upon the
American league by the minor leagues
under the leadership of President
Powers. They saw 1t tried last fail,
when the All-Americans and the Pitts
burgs play ed upon the local diamond
then and there registering adherence Of
the rule in tones by no means mild. To-
day it was learned that at a meeting Of
a few fans in the East end a few
nights ago it was decided to start an
endles chain of letters to Ban johnson
protesting against the American league
putting the obnoxious rule in force. The
originators Of the novel scheme say
that they are sure at least 100 letters
have gone to Johnson already and that
the plan is but in its infancy, and that
they expect that Cleveland patrons OF

LOCO a week Each man writes to three
friends each to write protest to John
son and to enlist three others in the
cause.
They argue that the fans are the ones
who pay for baseball and make the ma
tional game the success it is, and their
wishes should be regarded in formu~
lating rules.
