Arthur.
Port Arthur, May s-The Japanese
displayed desperate courage in their
freship attack on the night of Tues
day. The ships, as they approached,
were divided into three groups, all
heading straight for the entrance of
the harbor. While still far from the
shore they ran On the Russian mines
and they were under a murderous fire
from the Russian batteries Three
torpedo boats followed the fireships to
pick up the crews of the latter When
the first ship foundered the crew clam
bored up the mast, cheering for the
emperor of Japan as they went down.
From the masthead Of the second ves-
tel, as she began to sink, her crew
waved lanterns to indicate her course
to those astern. Their small boats,
though soon riddled, did not raise the
white flag.
A Japanese sailor, who came ashore
ct Electric hill, when summoned to
surrender, sprang forward with a re-
volver in his hand and died fighting.
Another Japanese sailor, who was
pulled out of the water, tried to throt-
sle himself with his necktie One of
.he Russian rowboats, which ap-
preached sinking ship for the pur~
pose of saving her crew, was met by
small arm fire.
The Russian sailors showed every
consideration for the captured Japan
ese, wrapping them up in their own
coats and carrying them ashore
One of the Japanese officers COM
mitted suicide by disemboweling him
self, declaring he would rather die
than go home in disgrace.

BASE: BALL.
CLARK GRIF-
 FITH'S STORY
Boomerang ThroWer Who Could Pitch a Base Ball i'm Many Cur yes and Circles. '' .*

'"Too bad" says Clark Griffith, 'Fthat negro men do not mingle in the fastest baseball company. I could have shown the wondering public the most marvellous pitcher of the age year ago.
 "I happened into little sideshow attached to a travelling circus one af- ternoon when I had nothing better to do, and my attention was instantly attracted by a big Back savage who was billed as an Australian boomer ang thrower. I watched his perform ance with great interest and was as- founded at the way he made the boomerang curve and shoot describe complete circles, and then return to the place where he was standing. It seemed to me that the black man knew something about throwing curves, and managed to make date with him and the sideshow manager for a leisure hour the next morning.
 'I brought ball along when I kept the date. and after I had explained my objects and ideas to the manager he persuaded the negro to do some throwing stunts. He was very much amused at the size and shape of the DoAA, put Sooit St dSRCO Aly IhCuHIliS, and began to make some really won derful throws, knocking down a stick set up 300 feet away, putting holes through inch blanks without exertion, and showing himself q marvel of strength and control. Then, having gained sthe mastery of the new mis- sile, he began to throw curves.
 "I had expected him to accomplish startling results. but l was dum- founded when he sailed the ball at plank, and the ball. instead of hitting the board, turned suddenly and came rushing back to his hands. I took a club, stood up in front of the plank and explained to him that he was to throw curves that would pass within a certain area. but must be too be- wildering to hit. The next minute q ball came at me like bullet. Just as thought I was dead man it stopped short, hiked back about three feet then cut a half circle round me and thumped against the plank at my back.
 "For an hour drilled that savage and by noon he could throw things you wouldn't imagine could be done by magician. figured some on whitewashing him and ringing him in last season. but had to give it up the paint might wear off and negro men are barred. But of all the pitch CTS who ever lived. that boomerang thrower was the star" z,,f,.. Y.

Tim Hurst Talks.

Finn Hurst is a strong advocate of weight limits ill boxing. He has ref creed many big fights and is an au- t4-erity on matters pugilistic not to be ignored ''When Cans fought Fitz. gerald at Detroit last Tuesday, said Hurst yesterday, it was not for the lightweight championship, for the req son that they met at 135 pounds. weigh in at o'clock i'll the afternoon The Hghtweight limit is 133 pounds, and the championship really hinges on it. It was fact that when Frank Erne defeated Kid Lavigne at Buffalo he did not win the lightweight title because the men fought at 135 pounds, yet Erne was hailed as the champion. I,he featherweight limit is 122 pounds. There is nothing to this at all. When We hear of Young Corbett and Hanlon fighting for the featherweight cham pionship of the world at 129 pounds, G o'clock, 1t is simply nonsense. It is just as absurb to talk about Corbett and Jimmy Britt fighting for feather weight honors at 130 pounds, for when they get into the ring they will tip the scales at 133. or close to it, which will be the lightweight limit. A feather weight champion should be able to scale at or under 122 pounds and meet all corners at that limit. There is too much latitude on the weight question, and the matter should be taken in hand"

THE PUGILISTS.
WEIGHT QUES-
 TON AGAIN.
George Dixion Still Consid- . cred the Only Legiti-
 mate Feather-W Weight
 Champion To-Day.

Who is the legitimate featherweight champion?
 The limit of the class is 122 pounds
 In the opinion of many, George Dixon is still the legitimate feather weight champion. Dixon never de murred when it came to weighing in Any old hour suited him, and to this day he Is willing to tip the beam at the ringSide if necessary.
 Dixon, like Bob Fitzsinmons. is frcakish as regards reducing weight He can build himself up or reduce as the occasion requires. When he first started out as a pugiltst he was a mere stripling, and fought at 10S pounds. As years went by he developed into a genuine bantam and could fight at 112 pounds without suffering any incon' venience. Then he went up to lie pounds. then to 11s. and at the present time has no difficulty in preparing for mill at 122 pounds.
 So far as cleverness is concerned Dixon is and always has been ac- nowledged the peer of them all. There are few points about boxing and fight ing that he does not know. All he wants Is strength and the necessary punch. Dixon has never been knocked out in a championship battle.
 Terry McGovern whipped George Dixon originally for the honors at the Broadway A. c. in 1900. Since then he has outgrown the class. He met Young Corbett at Hartford a year later and was knocked out in two rounds. The weight of that fight was 126 pounds. and although they fought for the featherweight title under the rules they scaled in as lightweights.
 McGovern grew heavier and frankly admitted. when presseu, that he could not get to 122 pounds without suffer- ing loss of strength and vitality.
 Corbett also gained weight, and in stead of fighting at 126 pounds, he had all he could do to reach the 127 pounds, which was the weight at which he met McGoyern the second time, at San Francisco, on March 21, 1903 < Corbett on that occasion knocked Terry out in eleven rounds.
 The only legitimate claimants for honors in the featherweight ranks are Harry Forbes, Abe Attell and Dixon. Forbes was formerly the bantam champion, and a year ago he did not have the slightest trouble getting to 116 pounds Like McGovern and Cor belt, he rapidly took on flesh. He fought Frankie Neil of California for the bantam prize, and was knocked out. Now Forbes confesses that the best he can do is 122 pounds at o'clock in the afternoon. Attel1 says that he can train down to 120 pounds, but as he has never been brought to this test the question is far from being settled.

Sullivan Going West.

The success of Dave Sullivan over Jimmy Briggs at Boston the other night has encouraged the little Irish. man to seek bigger game. 1t is under stood that Sullivan has received word that Young Corbett, whom he has been so anxious to meet during the past two years, has finally consented to take him on and that the battle is to take place at San Francisco before Corbett's scrap with Jimmy Britt. Sul- ivan declares that everything has been settled relative to the bout except the selections Of the club The date is Feb ruary 22. Britt and Corbett are sched- uled to have it out on March Il, and whether Britt will permit Corbett to meet some one else in the meantime is a question. At any rate, Sullivan will leave for San Francisco in a few days, ready to go ahead with the encounter. He has over a month in which to get into trim. Judging from his showing with Briggs, Sullivan is in fine trim and does not need more. than a month to prepare for the champion.

Hot Fieht Coming.

Treasurer Frank T. Farrell of the New York American league club said yesterday that he would not fail to be present at the meeting of the National base ball commission next month when the Ridgewood case comes up for set clement. Farrell also said that he hoped c. H. Ebbets of the protesting Brooklyn club would be on hand. too. The tangle over this proposition is lia- ble to make some serious trouble in base ball before the end is reached. As a matter of fact Hermann and Pulliam have been overrlm with tele- grams and letters from all of the O.. er National league clubs commanding them to back up Brooklyn in protest ing against the enterprise of President Gordon and Treaurer Farrell in mak- ing arrangements to meet the public demand for the sport on Sunday in Greater New York.

THE SPORTING NEWS.

and strikes which may have been called upon him cut no figure. They are as though they had never occurred. This is all right, of course, and nobody objects, but when you come to think it over, it isn't in accord with the, rules governing other sports or with busi- ness principles. If a fighter has lanu- ed several hard wallops in a round the referee must remember the fact, and the next round doesn't start the mans record all over. If you are engaged ill any business and you have your ac- counts balanced to certain point at the close of day, you don't begin with blank ledger the next morning. If you are playing euchre you don't forget to pass up the points you made on the previous deal when you get a new hand. I sometimes wonder if it wouldn't be absolute fairness, and also accelerate the game bit, if the balls and strikes called under such circum- stances were carried over to the next inning, so that batter with two and three called, for instance, would have only one more to decide his fate"
