SPORTING NEWS.
The Days Racing at Memphis
Was Of a High Order.
More Like Real Sport Than
Seen for Some Time.
FINISHES BRILLIANT.
Witful Won Over the Tennessee
Oaks FavOrite.
COrrigan's McGee, Carrying
Much Weight, Won Easily.

Memphis, April 9.-Racing at Mont
gomery park Friday was something
more like real sport than has been
served for several days past. In five
of the six races the fields were made
up Of horses of good class and in sew
eral instances the finishes were brilliant
enough to make them stand out as no
table contests of the season here. An
important feature for the horsemen was
the appearance of Captain S. S. Browns
Tennessee Oaks candidate, Audience,
who is one of the quartette of 3-year-
olds in the stable of the Pittsburg turf
man that has been called THE Big
Four"
Audiences performance was impress
sive. She was put in with Witful, Lit
tie Scout and Coruscate and was meet
ing them at equal weights according to
the scale. Little Scout was withdrawn
and that made Witful a tOpheaVy favor
lite. Witful won rather easily from
Audience, but that takes nothing from
the good race the Brown FLY ran. Wit
full is good enough to beat about any
thing around here and Audience was
able to make an interesting race of it
from start to finish She went away in
front and stayed there until we'll
Strengthened for home.
Witful then went to the front and
drew away to win with something to
spare, but it is doubtful is she could do
so again with the improvement this race
Will WOIK LOT AuQlenCe- On the SLTGQ2LQ
of this race alone Audience stands out
over the other candidates for the Oaks
and there will be little surprise if that
important race develops into the same
kind of a farce as was the Derby sim
ply through the presence of Browns
candidate
Another horse to distinguish himself
and stamp his class was Corrigan's Nc
Gee. In the Memphis club handicap
MCGEE was given top weight of 115
pounds in with a field Of fair horses
lightly weighted and he held them safe
at all stages and that without being put
TO anything like test. Had he been
permitted to do so he might have made
a runaway race of it without letting the
others get any place near him. but J.
DAILY, who rode him, had waiting orders.
1t was with difficulty that the jockey
was able to place his mount and it was
not until after the first quarter that
Luralighter and The COnqueror II pass
ed him for the pacemaking. These two,
with Foxy Kane, made the running
down the back stretch and around the
turn until DAILY let out a rap and then
MCGEE went on, and, taking the lead
above the sixteenth post, cantered to
the finish, while The Conqueror. under
q hard drive, was beating Foxy Kane
for the place.
In the second race came the star
spectacular feature of the programme.
According to the handicaps the race
should have been between Irene Lind
sey and Skillful only. but when the fin
ish came these two were Joined by
Henry Bert and Deutschland with tie
-FOUR horses coming to the finish noses

So RoUNDs no A DRAW.
Jimmy Gardner and Buddy Ryan Put
Up a Lively Eight.

Chicago, April 9.=Jimmy Gardner
of Lowell, Mass, and Buddy Ryan of
Chicago fought six rounds last night,
the decision being a draw. During the
first four rounds Gardner gained a
decided advantage by jabbing Ryan
necessarily without a return. Toward
the end of the fourth round Bardner
swung heavily on Ryan's jaw and the
latter half fell and half slipped to the
floor. Ryan forced matters in the fifth
and weakened Gardner with a right to
the stomach. Gardner was compelled
to slow up, and this enabled Ryan to
even up the advantage Gardner had
obtained in the earlier rounds. Near
the end of the fourth round Gardner
revived and was taking the lead when
the fight ended.
In the preliminaries Twin Sullivan
of Boston was given the decision on
points over Billy Moore of Syracuse,

POLLoCK's BUSY DAYS.
VIII Sail With COrbett but Make Only
a Short Stay.

Philadelphia, April 9.-Speaking of
Corbetts trip to England Harry Pollock
said today:
THE kid has not had a good rest for
some time, and we have decided to sail
for England on Saturday, April 16. Cor
bett will make about six weeks stay
over there. and while he does not ex-
pect to do any fighting while abroad,
he would not turn down any easy mon
ey. He has had several good offers TO
remain in this country and fight, but
they will keep, and he needs the rest
more than the money. When he re-
turns he will be ready for Britt, Me
Govern or any other good man, and
will then be in shape to do himself
justice. I shall not stay there a week,
as I have to return to look out fer
Munroe in his fight with Jeffries, at
San Francisco on Memorial Day, and
Mccoy may also need me to look out
for his interests if he gets on a big
match

Was Ridiculous.
Philadelphia, April 9.-Sitting in his
room at the Hotel Scott, with a big
bandage around his head to ease and
cover his eye, which was closed by Kid
McCoy's left hand. Herr Placke was a
disconsolate looking object today Ihe
big Hollander was low-spirited over his
miserable showing and bemoaned his
misfortune in having made his entree
into American pugilistic circles by
tackling Mccoy. When asked about
his future plans ne said:
"I don't know what I shall do at
present, although I did intend to sail
for home next Saturday. I feel sure 1
can do better than last night if given
another chance, but I don't want Nc
Coy again for awhile. He hit me hard
er than 1 was ever hit before, and
when he knocked me down the last
time did not know where I was. Our
fighters in Europe don't fight that way
and it was a surprise to me. Every
time hit out 1 missed and didn
know where Mccoy had gone"
Mccoy did not bear a mark and
laughed as he thought of the ridicu-
lous picture made by his opponent at
the finish of the bout. TT was even
easier than I had anticipated. I don't
want any more easy ones in mine

MRS. BOTKIN WILL APPEAL
Delaware Witnesses Are Ordered to
Remain in California.

San Francisco, April 9.-In view of
the notice given by Attorney Knight
that an appeal would be taken from
the conviction of Mrs. Cordelia Botkin,
who was found guilty of the murder
of Mrs. John P. Dunning, District At
torney ,Byington has notified the wit
nesses for the prosecution that came
from Dover, Del, to remain here tenn
porarily.
1t is understood to be the intention
of the district attorney to have the
warrant issued for the arrest of Mrs.
Botkin, charging her with the murder
of Mrs. Dean, a niece of Mrs. Dunning
A warrant in both cases being vir-
tually the same, this action will permit
the dispositions of the Delaware wit
nesses to be taken while they are in
the jurisdiction of the court
It is estimated that the cost to the
state of the prosecution Of Mrs. Bot
kin thus far amounts to about $50, 900.

John Hogan IeavenwOrth HIachinist,
Was Killed March %.

Leavenworth, Kas., April 9.-Albert
Rich and abe" Parker, negroes, had
a preliminary hearing here Friday and
were held on $3.50 bond each for the
murder of John Hogan, a machinist,
who was robbed and beaten to death
on the night of March %.
There was little evidence connect
ing Rich with the assault until he
took the witness stand and told a con-
fused story as to his actions the night
of the robbery. Many negroes and
white persons were in the court room,
but no race feeling was manifested.
Shortly after Hogan's death there was
talk of lynching Parker and Rich.

but there are too many dying to remain
silent. To be brief had both Brights
Disease and Diabetes for over five
years. Usual Dropsy, nails came off,
and the case was so hopeless that the
physicians told us there was no need
to diet and to give me anything
craved. I heard that people were being
cured in this city and procured the
treatment. In a few months the nails
came back. dropsy disappeared and in a
year I was well. To show how well,
will say that several years after my re-
covery stood a capital operation at the
Waldeck Sanitarium in the presence of
six physicians Many friends, including
DR.. Markell of Cloverdale and Judge E
B. Cutler of Pine street, are fully cogni-
zant of my recovery from Bright's Dis

Ter is himself now recovering from
Diabetes under the same treatment.
