 The Sterling five of the local Y. M. c. A. went to Middletown last night and played the Y. M. c. A. team of that place for the championship of the state among teams belonging to the A. A. U. The Waterburians suffered bad defeat, the score being 3O-11. During the first half the Sterlings were suffering from fright, or rather they were unused to such a large and slippery floor. The score at the end of the first half was 22-5. In the sec ond half the Brass City boys played a much better game and the work of both teams was fine. In this half the home team scored points and the visitors 6. The game was wit messed by large crowd. A return game will probably be played here in the near future. The lineup of the Sterlings was as follows: Center Kenealey; guards, W. Curtis, McWil- Hams; forwards, J.

Jack Munroe, the Anaconda miner, intends to invade England next sum- mer. Since Munroe came to New York Clark Ball. his manager, has had sev- eral conferences with we'll known English fistic promoter, who said that if the Montana pugilist went abroad he would make a lot of money. Ball. said that the idea was good one, and if he gets the sum he has asked for he will sign a contract before he leaves town. It Is Balls intention to have Munroe take tour of England, Ire land, Scotland and Wales and meet all corners. It is not at all likely that Ball will secure Tommy Ryan to give the miner lessons in boxing. He has been given to understand that Ryan cannot find the time to take the raw westerner in tow. Munroa went to the New York A. c. yesterday and saw Professor Mike Donovan. They did not box as expected. Billy Elmer will box with Munroe to-day and show Jenfries's late opponent a few points.

Cohen was with in two seconds of putting his man out in the fifth, and thought he could put on the finishing touches in the sixth. But Dougherty suddenly sent out his right, which caught Cohen full on the chin, and this settled the Briton.

rne fact that John Hertz. manager Eof Benny Yanger, has posted $1 900 in Chicago to bind a match with Young Corbett, is not disturbing the latter. The featherweight champion, when asked what he had to say relative to Rangers challenges replied: T am after McGoyern now, and until I am convinced that there is no possibility of us coming together I will not talk business with anybody else. In the meantime I will have to ignore Yan- ger, not because I am afraid of him, but because I don't see how can answer Yanger definitely until I. have finished with McGovern.'' Joe Ven dig, the bookmaker, who was phesent at the time, said there is a chance of Young Corbett and Yanger coming to- gether, provided the latter's manager will agree to bet $1O,OO0 on the side. Vendig assumed that If the champion made up his mind to fight Yanger, he would insist on a big side wager. However on this point Young Corbett remained silent.

NO LIVES ARE LOST.
Lawrence Suffers Only from a
Financial Point.

Lawrence, kan, June 2.-The flood sit
uation here shows little or no improve
ment. The condition of the people on
the north side Of the river is desperate.
There have been no lives lost and viii
be none, as far as drowning is concern
ed. But the people have lost their
homes and all their property There is
no doubt but that the damage will be
over a million. The layout on the flood
ed side Of the river IS such that the re Al
condition of affairs cannot be arrived at
for many days TO come.
Three hundred people were brought
over Monday This leaves about 400 or
more on the north side These viii be
rescued within the next day or two.
They have plenty TO eat, plenty to wear
and are rot suffering any in that direc-
ton.
The people Of Lawrence are respond
ing nobly to the work of rescue Nearly
$4,000 has already been subscribed, and
plenty more viii be forthcoming. Like
Topeka. the needs of the Lawrence ref
ugees win be something enormous.
Outside Of Lawrence, the conditions IN
the country are even worse From LIE
compton to Eudora the country is like
a lake. All live stock and other proper
~ have been swept away. as have also
many houses. The destruction of pro-
perUy is something enormous.

Many Changes at Other Places
in North Topeka.

The lists Of those still in North To-

published Monday. For instance. the
North Topeka fire station was emptied
last night of all but eight men, who
were left on guard with boats.
Then the crowd at the Woolen mill
had increased from 10 to $50 last night.
About 70 people had been gathered up
from various houses in the northwest
part of North Topeka, from the Grant
school and a. few from the Davis eleva-
tor and taken to the Reform school,
from which place some Of them were
taken by a Rock Island train to the
towns further north.
In all, 215 people We're landed during
the day just above Sardou bridge. A

We again inform you of the sur
rounding Of this country in and about
steadily subsiding. but it viii be al
to see land.
We have been wondering whether or
not the water covered the South side
or not, as help comes so seldom. 1t may
be impossible for aid to reach this Sec
ton of the city, but we thought that
ample time has passed since the be-
ginning of this to enable the people
of South ToDeka to have built some
kind of a life saving craft to help the
people out Z don't suppose the DeOpl=
that are over there high and dry can
hardly realize the position of the people
that are in the center of this food, and
had it not been for the timely aid given
by a couple Of men in this vicinity lives
might have been lost. AS yet we are
safe. but it can't last long. as our sub
sistence is not in such a quantity as 70
keep US much longer. and we sincerely
hope that some means win be devised
to relieve US, should necessity demand

nothing about any combination of gro~

what was due to any legitimate adj
