Irish giant, before the Washington Sport
ing Club, in less than one round. The for
mer champion had an easy thing of 1t from
the start. and although the bout lasted but
two minutes ana htty-two seconds F1tz-
simmons could have ended II in the hISt
minute. Coghlan was outciassed, and after
going to the floor twice was ready TO quit,
out second would not allow him to do so.
CoghIan was FIRST to enter the ring. lie
was accompanied by Jack Mccormick, Jim
mie Guider Kid Howard and Sam FftZpat-
rick. He took the southeast corner, ana
was hardly seated when Fitzsimmons fol-
lowed him INTO the ring. The former cham
pion was loudly cheered, but he seemed
more Interested in eying Coghlan than he
did in the applause. Both men looked ready
for the battle.
Fitzsimmons, always in good condition,
appeared trained to the hour, and as he
moved around the ring his face bore all
the appearance of confidence. Coghlan, tau
and rather slender, lowered over t1tzSlm-
mons, and it was evident that he outweigh
ed the former champion by many pounds
While the men were in the ring there was
considerable betting on the result. titz-
simmons was decided fayOrite. AS there
are no decisions rendered, the betting was
2 to 1 that FitZsimmOnS would win by a
knockout inside the imit-six rounds.
Kid Carter who among the specta-
tors, challenged the winner. After the pre-
liminary instructions to the men it was an
nounced that they would break Clean AT
the sound of the gong they advanced to the
center of the ring.
Both tented and fiddled around for an
opening for few seconds. Fftzsimmons
was first to lead, sending a stiff left to the
jaw. Before Coghlan could set away ritz
simmons followed this up with another lett
to the mouth, and repeated the trick again
without return.
Fitzsimmons worked around mis- man,
looking for an opening for knockout, and
suddenly shot out left to the jaw. The
blow landed with great force, and sent
Coghlan down to the floor for the count OF
four. He was scarcely on his feet when
Fitzsimmons was after him and crossed
him with a right and left on the jaw. Both
blows had their effect, for the Irish giant
toppled over like a broken tree and fell to
the floor He was down nine seconds when
he came up. When Strengthened out, F1tz-
simmons sent a terrific uppercut to Cogh-
lan's chin. The latter was plainly afraid OF
F'itzsimmons and wanted to quit. but his
seconds would not permit him. AS he came
to the center of the ring Fitzsimmons drop
ped him with left on the jaw for the

three sets to decide. This pair furnished
an interesting study as their style of play
is entirely different, but apparently about
equally effective. the luck Of the game car
rying victory either way.
Several interesting matches were forth
coming in the doubles the Bradley and
Whiting and Flourney and Flourney contest
being the best on account of the closeness
of the score. This match was a hold-over
from Tuesday night. and at the start the
pairs were SO even that another postpone
ment looked possible. as the figures were
kept at tie most of the time. The Flour
ney brothers won the first set. but the next
two went to Bradley and Whiting.
After going through this contest, Bradley

couple Of the Bachelors Club. Messrs.
Davidson and Glazebrook, and the result
was a foregone conclusion. OF the fifteen
games played, Bradley and Whiting man

Mr.. Davidson, was in splendid form and in

SOUTHERN ROGUE TOURNEY.
Williams, Peck and Mari Have Not
Yet Lost a Game.

Another evening Of interesting play was
the order yesterday in the Southern Rogue
championship tournament on the courts OF
Island avenue and 9th street The attend
ance of onlookers was the best of the week,
almost all the available room inside the in
closure being occupied Many sensational
plays were made in the different matches,
and the applause from the spectators was
almost continuous.
That trio of excellent players, Peck, Mari
and Williams, have so far escaped defeat
demonstrating the excellence of their game
but downfall must take place, they
will soon face one another in the natural
course of the tournament.
The feature of last evenings play was
the match outside Of the regular schedule
between Paul N Peck and A. N. MARI for
the Van Wickle medal, of which the latter
is the present custodian. This match was a
beautiful exemplification of rogue as 1t
should be played, both players doing the
almost impossible in several instances when
the balls were blocked in play MARI once
more won out, and the indica tons are that
he will continue in possession Of the trophy,
although Mr.. Peck still has chance to win
out.

Duryee, the ex-champion of the United

ton Association. Mr.. Beckett; Cuthbert
Athletic Club. Mr.. Hildreth; Morton Cadets
Mr. Smell. The Ordway Rifles had no dele
gate present
The meeting was merely for consultation
and discussion Of plans, and little real bust
ness was transacted. except that it was
agreed by the delegates not to admit any
new clubs as members of the league unless
they could provide playing fields, on which
their home games could be played. It will
finally be decided at the meeting to be held

Major Delmar Comes Within Quarter
Of a Second of the Record.

Major Delmar failed to lower the world 8

did trot a mile in 2O0a under unfavorable
circumstances. Many horsemen believe
after seeing Delmar perform that had
strong wind not been blowing the gelding
would have beaten the two-minute mark.
George Spear drove the runner in a sulky.
to which was attached the now famous
wind shield. while another thoroughbred
was installed on the side Of Delmar to act
as pacemaker. Delmar dashed away and
went to the eighth pole In IS seconds, when
he broke badly and was returned to the
