The Cardinals defeated the Boston Ma
tionals in the first game Of the series at
League Park Yesterday by a score OF 5
to =.
In the first and second innings the To-
Gals made five runs on some exceptional
stick work. This was the extent of their
scoring. for after that Willis settled down
and pitched an excellent game.
Taylor. who pitched for the locals. had
one bad inning. the third. when the men
from the Hub City hoped on to his bend
ers and clouted them to the extent OF three
runs.
Both twirlers were hit hard. 81. Louis
made ten hits off Willis. while the mon
from Rcantown touched Taylor up for as
many safe raps.
Both Barclay and Cooley made excellent
fielding plays. In the fourth inning Catch

BY some fast Snrinting and an excellent

COOLEY'S GREAT CATCH.
In the sixth inning Cooley went almost
to the fence and pulled down = vicious
Drive on S~htnnon's hat. He also pulled
down Il vicious rap from Gradv's willow

gilt edged. as both these Cardinals can
attest.

YOUNG coRBETTs LITTLE JOKE
Had Fake Badger and Dog Fight
Which Was Raided by Police.

San Francisco, Cal, Feb. 25.-Young
Corbett played a joke on Louie Mann
and dozen actors and actresses of the
Weber and Fields company this morn
ing, which turned heavily upon him
self. He arranged a fake fight between
a bull dog and an alleged badger"
At 2 o'clock this morning the specta-
tors gathered at the training quarters
and watched with breathless interest
as the cover was being drawn from the
badgers" cage. The dog, which was
the real liye article, strained at his
chain. Just then there was terrible
racket, the door flew open, and half a
dozen policemen rushed into the room.
Their was a wild scattering of actors
and actresses amid excited shrieks.
They thought they were pinched. Cor
bett showed a chinaware ornament in
the form of a badger, and told of the
fake, and the police retired.

Who VIII Win the Sharkey-
MunTOe Fight the Subject.
JEFFRIES is EVASIVE.
ssCan Munroe Place His Blows"
the Champion Queried.
Thinks the Sailor Is a Mighty
Tough Proposition.

New York, Feb. 25.-"Who will win
the Sharkey-Munroe battle?"
1 fired this question point blank at
the champion of all the champions Jas.
]. Jeffries, said Kid Mccoy.
1 had been ordered to find out from
jeff what he thought of the sailorman
and the miner as fighters, and who
would win their coming six-round pas
sage at arms at Quakertown.
So went at the champion with bare
knuckles.
But he sidestepped me. He had a
Dutch answer ready:
HAS Munroe learned how to place
his blow?"
I was a bit surprised at the query.
The miner must certainly have improv-
ed a great deal since that day he stood
the massive boilermaker off for four
rounds.
For a supposedly green" man Mum
roe places his blows with a great deal
of accuracy and most positively with
an immense amount of force behlnd
them and L told Jeffries so.
Then" said the big fellow, with that nat
quiet, good-natured smile of his, 1t

He saw my smile at his evasion of
my question.

WILL lot BE aUNDER DOG"
of New Orleans Talks Of
finnish WAYS of Ball Players.

New Orleans, Feb. 25.-Manager Char
ley Frank has about completed arrange
ments for receiving the Chicago, Pitts
burg and Boston American teams for
their spring practice. Athletic park is
being put in fine shape. The chicago
Americans will open the season here
March 90 They viii play five games
that week They will be followed by
the Pittsburgers.
Frank has decided upon one new idea.
He will not share Athletic park with
any of the big visiting teams as prac-
tice ground They must do their prac-
ticing at Specimens park or somewhere
else. He holds that the minor league
team cannot and will not do itself JUS
tice in practice with the big fellows and
that the overbearing spirit shown the
minor players is fatal.
1.-The big fellows put on too much
dog" Frank declares, land the idea OF
being the under dog will ruin any
team
Sportsmen's park is being put in first
class shape for the Chicagoans as a
training ground.

A Foolish School Row Comes
Up in Atchison Court.
Board at Irish Point" Sus-

TRUANCY LAW ENTERS.
Girl Strikes Boy Over the Head
With Dinner Bucket.
All of the Children and Their
Parents Take a Part.
TRUANCY LAW ENTERS.

Atchison. Kas.. Feb. 25.-The Globe
says: The row in school district 81,
known as Irish Point, which seems like
downright childs play, is before Judge
Hudson in the district court today. It
IS in the form CT an application for a
writ of mandamus to require the school
board to permit Mary and Henry Tull,
ages Is and Q years, respectively, to
attend the school.
They are children of Joseph Tull.
who makes the application. The board
suspended them from further attend
ance January Is, on the ground that
they were constantly quarreling and
fighting with their fellow students and
destroying the order and discipline of
the school. The old school law gives
the board the right to suspend but
provides for an appeal to the county
superintendent. Tull appealed to Su-
perintendent Hastings, who said he
had no jurisdiction, owing to the new
truancy law coming in conflict with
the old law, and provided another
manner of proceeding in such cases.
In this way the case got into court,
and Judge Hudson is hearing evidence
regarding the conduct of the children.
The trouble appears to have been be-
tween the Tull and Mullins children,
principally. The evidence introduced
this morning was in support of the
application, and the tendency of it was
to show that the Mullins children were
the aggressors. Mary Tull testified she
had been only in one fight; that she
Struck a boy with dinner bucket be-
cause he had her brother down and
