LARGE TRACK MEET AT
THE TOME INSTITUTE
DANNY DOUGHERTY
OUTPOINTS LOVE
BantamS Put Up Fast Bout in
Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, May 16.-Danny
Dougherty outpointed Tommy Love in
the wind-up at the Ariel Athletic Club
last night in a fast and interesting con-
test that was replete with hard punches
and clever boxing. The men were
weighed in the ring, the beam being
placed at 122 pounds, and neither moved
1t, showing that they were both below
the required weight. Dougherty had a
better color than Love and looked to oe
in better condition, Tommy being pale
and looking drawn and rather weak
Love had the advantage in height and
reach over Dougherty. In the first
round Danny started to rush matters,
but he found Love very willing, and they
mixed it up hard and fast at the end of
the round. neither having much advan-
tage. Love had the best of the first
part OF the second round, but Danny
more than made good before the end of
the round.
Danny dazed Tom with a rap on the
jaw in the third, but shortly afterward
on the nose that made Danny's eyes
blink Tom got in a couple o. good up
percuts IN the fourth and then followed
mix-up, which brought the crowd to
their feet.
Tommy opened the fifth with a hard,
straight Ieft-hand punch. Danny retail
lated with a punch on the head, which
dropped Love like a log. Tom bounded
to his feet in second, and went ut
Danny for keeps. He sent Danny stag
gering across the ring with hard punch
on the jaw. They were both fighting
hard when the bell rang
Danny started to rush matters in the
last round. Tom came back ut him hard.
and landed several body punches. Dough-
erty smashed Love a hard one with his
right. which dazed Tom. He got himself
together, and, rushing at Dougherty. ran
his nose plump into Danny's fist. Then
followed a mix-up that was in favor of
Dougherty, and Love looked as if he
was getting tired as the bell rang.
In the semi wind-up Jim Sinister. of
Paramount, met Tony Moran, of Brook
Ign. They fought two hard rounds, and
it was about an even thing when in a
mix-up Sinister dropped to the floor,
claiming to be fouled- The bout was
stopped for several minutes, when,
Sinister being unable TO continue. the
bout was declared off. 1t looked as IL
in the rush Moran had butted Sinister,
but Tony claimed that he had punched
Jimmy in the stomach, and had neither
butted Sinister nor hit him too low.

SILER WILL NOT REFEREE
CORBETTJEFFRIES BOUT
Gentleman Jim Prefers a CalifOr-
MAN for Place.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, May 16.-The
meeting scheduled for this afternoon be-
tween Corbett and Jeffries for the pur-
pose of signing articles for their battle
in August and to give an answer to the
Yosemite Club regarding the financial
part of the bout, has been postponed
until Monday at the request of Delaney
Jeffries was to have arrived to take part
in the conference, but telegraphed ad-
vices placed him in Chicago on We'd
nesday. and Delaney was loath to make
any arrangement without having the
champion present.
Corbett read the Chicago interview with
Jeffries regarding the selection of
George Siler for referee of the champion
ship mill and smiled His reply to
Jeffries' argument was TO the point. He
said
The referee of this fight will be a
Californian if l have anything to say
about it. There are just as good judges
here as can be procured in any State, and
| am sure we will have no trouble in
getting together on this question. Jeff
said that about Siler just to get me TO
come out and decline such selection.
1 believe Siler to be a good referee,
but If it should become impossible to
agree on Californian and we're forced
to look to Chicago. l shall insist upon
Malachy Hogan"
Corbett put in a hard two hours at
the Olympic Club yesterday, and wound
up with fifteen minutes of consecutive
boxing taking on Andy Gallagher and
Yank Kenny in alternate rounds of three
minutes each.
1t was the first time that Jim had let
himself out since his arrival. but he
pulled up without the slightest distress.

A grocer down in Texas said that
when ne first put in a stock of Postum
GOOD Coffee he concluded to try it him
self to know how well he could recon-
mend it to his customers. He says; Il
Iuit using coffee and had Postum pre-
Dared according to directions on the
package and found it a most healthful,
coothsome beverage.
1 had been troubled seriously with
stomach trouble but after leaving off
coffee and using Postum l gradually
cot better and better. That interested
ne so I persuaded my mother in law
who is over sixty and confirmed cof-
Zee drinker, to quit coffee and drink
Postum.
She has suffered for years with
stomach trouble and food coming up in
her throat after eating. As soon as she
quit coffee and began using Postum
This distress stopped and she has been
getting better and better ever since
A short time ago a lady who was
starting West bought up my entire
stock of Postum for fear she could not
end it where she was going.

readily see that 1 can recommend

A WEARY TRAMP
By Men Escaping from New
Foundland Ice Floes.
Footsore and Weary They Finish
Long Cross-Country Walk.
No Hope Of imprisoned Vessels Being
Released for Weeks.

st. Johns, N. F., March 11.-Norman
Ross and Frank Carter, masters of two
vessels of the American herring. fleet,
which is frozen in the ice foes in the
Bay of Islands, arrived here, this
morning, after having trudged SO miles
across the snow fields in the interior.
They We're four days on the march and
were accompanied by three other trav-
ellers and two guides, who dragged a
sledge with their stock of provisions.
They reached the railroad on the
morning of the fifth day, footsore and
weary. They had to adopt this eXpedi-
ton to return to Gloucester, Mass, the
Bay of Islands and the whole western
slope of New Foundland being blocked
by ice foes.
The travellers report that there are
immense snow drifts in the interior
and that the traffic on the western di-
vision of the railway has been aban-
doned for the past month, not a wheel
moving. 1t is also difficult to clear the
track owing to the trouble of pushing
forward supplies for the working par
ties.

fears have been occasioned among the
traders on Water street and precau-
