WRESTLING BOUTS.
Unsatisfactory Contest Between
Mackey and Schaeffer.

The wrestling bout between Rob Roy
Mackey of this city and William Schaeffer
of New Jersey, which was announced as
one of the star attractions at the wrestling
carnival in Odd Fellows Hall last night,
was regarded by the hundred or more spec
tators as farce. For nearly two hours
the men chung to the mat and there was
scarcely a strenuous moment during the
time of the match. Many of the disappoint-
ed spectators left the hall. and when mid
night came there were but few remaining
to witness the finish of the farce.
In addition to the star bout, there were
four matches pulled off. The contest be-
tween Young Sandow' Boxwell. and VIII
liam Roth. the German giant of Baltimore.

tereSt to the specta tors. Both men are
heavyweights. and they mixed things up
pretty lively while on the mat. Boxwell

in seven minutes.
Harvey Tyrreil and Ora Tracy of this city
had a twenty five minute go. Tyrrell gained
a fall in sixteen minutes and was declared
the winner of the match. The bout between
Walter Lovelace and T. Brown resulted In
draw. Robert McGraw and Bernard
Hayes, bantam weights, had lively bout.
which resulted in a decision for McGraw.

Patrick OConnor refereed the bouts and
gave perfect satisfaction in that capacity.

PIRATES THIRD VICTORY.
Bostons Defeated in Opening Game at
Pittsburg.

With the plaudits of nine thousand wildly
excited base ball fans ringing in their ears
the members of the PittSburg National

of the four games they have played so far

Some of them walked off. Others were

Overworked as he has been. he pleaded
to be allowed to pitch. Collins of Boston
also wanted the first game. and he decided
to pitch Dinneen. That is why Philippe
wanted to pitch. Just to show them that all
pitchers looked alike to him.
He had only one bad inning, the ninth.
Up to that time he had allowed but four
hits. which had netted run, while
Pittsburg was five to the good. Then came

FIDDLER NO RINGER.
Owners and Trainers Say Runner is
All Right.

After the fifth race at Morris Park yes:er-
day afternoon hundreds of curious horse
men inspected in the paddock the racer
who on Saturday, under the name of The
Fiddler, won for his hackers so much money
from western bOokmakers that some OF the
layers at Chicago declined to pay OF tie
bets until the officials at Morris Park had
made an investigation and confirmed the
identity of the horse.
The investigation has been going for
three days. The Fiddler was under the con-
troll of the assistant secretary of the jockey
club, Algernon Da:ngeriield. from the mo-
ment that rumors began to circulate that
there was something wrong with the race.
The point at ISSUE was whether the horse
which won on Saturday was the same ami
NAL which had raced under the name OF
The Fiddler at St Louis and San Francisco.
To help clear up this doubtful point all
the horsemen now at Morris Park who have
seen The Fiddler run in California We're re-
quested by the stewards to, examine him.
All these men said thata to the best OF
their knowledge it was The Fiddler. One
man stated that in California the horse was
light in fiesh. but allowing for improvement
due to good care there, was. no doubt in his
mind that The Fiddler of Morris Park was

GOLFERS COMPARED.
English More Particular About Short
Game Than Americans.

From the New York Sun.
AS indicated during the visit Of the Ok
ford and Cambridge Golfing Society team.
the chief difference between the form OF
the foreigners and our leading amateurs
was their more diligent practice at the
short game and putting, in contrast with
the burden of practice of the home players
at the long game.
A trip to almost any golf course will re-
veal some one Of the clubs best players
patiently driving ball after ball, with a
caddy chasing about on the fair green col
lecting them. With the Britons the prac-
tice is always on and about the putting
green.
During the play of the amateur cham
pionship at Nassau 1t was the usual thing
to see two or three of the visiting team
pitching approach shots and putting on
greens not in the match. They would work
hours at such play. and apparently without
the incentive of any stake in the shape OF
balls or money. Thus practicing on every
green on the course, they, as rule. In
day learned more regarding the peculiari-
ties of each green than local club members
had picked up in hundreds of rounds played
over a period of years. AS a result the
'Britons had their American opponents dis
tinctly at a disadvantage when it came to
serious match play.
The Britishers were just good, II not
better than our best players at the long
game, and won their matches through ac-.
cuTdte approaching ana deadly putting. AS
an object lesson the diligent care regarding
accurate execution of the short shots by
the visiting experts should leave a lasting
impression and improve the standard of
American golf.
Speaking of the Importance of the short
game, one of the English players said: We
won our matches on the putting greens,
where all matches between players any
where evenly matched are always won or
lost. Your players do not seem to realize
the important place accurate approaching
and putting plays in the game"

WATERBOY LAME.
Great Runner Will Race No More This
Season

Waterboy will not race again this season.
1t is matter of doubt, according to his
trainer. A. ]. Joyner, whether the eastern
champion will ever face the starter again.
He is so lame that he has been thrown out
of training and will not start for the
Brighton cup.
Waterboy is the last of several great race
horses of this season to succumb to the
severe strain of training. Africander and
Irish Lad preceded him only a few weeks
All three are now out of training and in the
doctors care. McChesney alone of the
great horses remains sound and ready to
race.

When Jack Joyner was asked how seri-
ously the horse was hurt he said:

strongest in the District, was elected to
membership in place of the Takoma Park
team. The AGNES have taken the place OF
the Carroll Institute team for this season.
