JoYcE's VICTORY.
New York Irish Athletes at Madison Square Garden.

New York Irish Athletes at Madison
 Square Garden.
 NEW YORK, March 14. John J. Joyce's remarkable victory in the ten mile A. A. U. championship brought to a close one of the most successful sets of games ever held by the Greater New York Irish Athletic, association, which included relay races for schools and colleges, short dashes and field events. The games were held in Madi- son, Square Gareen, which was com fortably filled when the men were sent to their marks for the first event.
 One record was broken, John Flanna- gan, veteran weight throweR hurling the ''fifty-six" fourteen inches beyond the worlds mark, set by himself some years ago. The record holds in the throw from stand, limit three feet.
 Joyce's performance in the ten mile event was one of the prettiest exhibi- tions of distance running seen on an indoor track. There was a large entry, and it required several laps to string the men out, so that the cracks could settle down to steady going. H. Cohn set the pace in the first mile, coaching Joyce, his clubmate, who was in sec- ond place. The order soon changed, however, and Mellor, one time winner of the Marathon race, made the go- ing, which was fast throughout
 Frank Pierce, the Indian runner, was going easily in third place, with Carr close up. Both were fresh and strong at the half distance, but Joyce had the speed of the lot. The old cham pion shot into the lead after seven and half miles had been covered and, sprinting cleverly, opened up almost lap on Carr, his nearest rival Hit ting up the pace in the last 175 yards, Joyce drew rapidly away from his la boring competitors and finished long way ahead

WRESTLING.
JENKINS SAILS AWAY
 FOR CONTESTS ABROAD

New York, March 14.-Tom Jen- kins, the American catch-as- -catch-can wrestler, who defeated John Fleming on Friday night, sailed for England Saturday morning on the New York. A large delegation of sporting men was on hand to see Jenkins off. Jen- kins was accompanied by George Weeden of this city, who will act for him abroad. Jenkins goes to Eng land to meet George Hackenschmidt of Russia, who possesses such won derful strength that he is able to crush his opponents if he has a mind to. The match with Hackenschmidt is to be at mixed style. which in- cludes catch-as-catch-can and Graeco- Roman. It will be held in London as soon as the necessary hall can be se- cured.
 It is understood that an offer of $1000O has been received for the bout,~ which, owing to the present popularity Of wrestling in England, should be largely attended. Hacken- schmidt by his quick victory over An med Madrali of Turkey has estab- lished a reputation and can secure any reasonable sum he wants to appear on the mat. He does not know much about catch-as-catch-can style. Graeco-Roman being his specially. But he is no novice, and his friends expect his great strength to win.
 It is a mistake to call Jenkins s:the worlds champion catch-as-catch-can wrestler" or even 'the American champion" Sporting men will re- member how Nouralah. the Turk, dis posed of Jenkins with ridiculous ease in Madison Square Garden, when the latter was thrown twice in rapid suc- cession.
 Further than this it is tue proper time to state that i'll Seattle not so very long. ago Jenkins tackled a big fellow named Frank Gotch, who threw the so-called champion in twenty-five minutes and was about to repeat the trick when Jenkins started fist fight. According to wrestling experts Gotch is more en- titled to be called American catch as-catch-can champion than Jenkins The attempt to style the latter worlds champion is even more amusing in view of the fact that Nou- roulah still lives and over in England Hackenschmidt. ''the Lion," stands ready to defend the title against all corners. Those who have seen 'the Lfon'' declare that Jenkins will be the easiest kind Of mark for him.

Lighter Than Aluminium.

A new metal similar to aluminium, but of still lesser weight, has been discovered by the French engineer, Albert Nodon. and called "nodium,'' after him. It is
 manufactured by an electric process. Tn color, luster and structure 1t is almost ex- actly like steel. Its specific weight when molten is only 2.4. It's resistance against breaking is given as about 20 pounds a square of GOA inch. It's constancy in the air is higher than thatof aluminium It's ductility is between six to eight inchessi the malleabi.ity can be compared to that of bronze. It me1ts at about 600 degrees. It is suitable for being cast into forms. The conductibility for the electric current Is as Eigh as that of copper of equal weight. Nothing definite has yet been communicated as to the chemical compo- sition of hodium nor as to the mode of it's manufacture. = Frankfort tGermauyl News.

THE DIAMOND.
GETTING DOWN
 TO BUSINESS.
American and National Leagues Have Good PractiCe--NatiOnalS Win the First Game

New York, March 14.--After anoth- CT long conference yesterday with Treasurer Frank J. Farrell, Ban John- son, president of the American league, and Henry Killilea, owner of the Bos- ton Americans, left for the west. Dur ing the day the magnates paid visit to American league park, Broadway and and 165th street, where great deal of work has been done since the season closed last fall. Right field has been filled to within few feet of the fence along Broadway, so that the playing surface is larger than any ball field in America.
 The makeup of the New York Americans came up for discussion dur ing the trip back from the grounds and Killilea, whose team won the worlds championship from the Pitts burg Nationals last October says:
 >''The addition of Pitcher Powell makes the New Yorlx's wonderfully strong, and in my opinion the team that finishes in front of them will win the pennant.
 !, s'Mr Farrell deserves the support of the New York public for the liberal manner in which he has gone about securing winning team. Griffith, too. has displayed good judgment in selecting his men, and is entitled to due credit.
 q naturally consider my Boston team the best in the country. We are superior to New York in the catching department. shortstoD, third base and in left field, with the other positions about a stand-off. Griffith has a grand pitching corps, but so have we.
 ''Let me say one thing that good students of baseball will readily ap- preciate: The New York Americans, as they are made up now, can wipe up the diamond with the New York Nationals. That is why John IT. Brush has steadfastly refused to play a series of games. even for charity. He knows that defeat at the hands of Griff's men would put the New York public onto the fact that the, best base ball is not seen at the Polo grounds and that the American league, with it's array of great players, is infinitely the National lea gue's superior.
 '"The National league teams. barring New York. Pittsburg and Chicago, are so weak that they have no chance for the pennant before the season opens. If McGraw's team, with Mathewson and McGinnity, could start in the American league race this year. 1t would not be able to finish in the first division"

McGinnity and Mathewson did not cut loose, but they displayed splendid control. South paw Mil1igan split his thumb ill the morning practice and escaped trying out. The club left for Birmingham Saturday night where it will remain until March %.
 Manager McGraw has arranged with the Birmingham Southern league team to use their grounds and play a series of five exhibition games. An extra contest may be played for the benefit of the Vulcan statue fund, in which ''Iron Man. McGinnity will twirl. McGinnity visited the iron works where the great statue is being cast yesterday afternoon and the fund committee made a special request that he pitch one game for the bene- fit of this real big iron man, who is to be exhibited at the St Louis expo sition. McGraw has arranged with the Birmingham Athletic club for the use of its dressing rooms and Turkish bath. The first exhibition game will be played on Wednesday. [.
