In fight. The two that exceeded it
IN receipts were the Corbett-J ehries
fgh at Coney Island, $4,000; and the
Corbett- Mccoy fight at Madison
Square garden, New York, $4,000.
The battle was fast and furious,
both men having entered the ring in
superb shape. Although fighting at
the top weight of mis- career--21s
po1nds--the champion was agile. and
his brute strength was more than
match for Corbett, who tipped the
beam at 1855.
Excellent arrangements had been
made by the Yosemite Athletic club.

i Frank Donahue is doing great work
for the Cleveland team. He was up
against the New York Americans yes
terday, who had the speedy Chesbro

terbury boy only allowed seven hits

Springfield was expected to do great
things this season, but her supporters
and admirers were sadly disappointed.
Tt would have made a difference of
$1,000 to Roger and Joe Conner if they

seems to be to keep ahead of Hart

Just think of it. Holyoke racing
away like the wind for that pennant

"Walk right up the steps, turn to

he continued.
The reporter calmly stated that
there was no disposition to pry
into his private affairs and no

There was no response. The
