pleheve iegeiine are No
Longer Fashionable IN
Russia.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 3..The only
point assured by today's advices from
seat of war is that there has been no
general engagement and st. Peters
burg reiterates the belief that bat
tie Is not imminent. The Russian
war office admits that some worry Is
caused by the fact that Kuropatkin's
scouts have been unable to locate
Kurokis army which comprises the
extreme Japanese right. II is inti-
mated that this condition may contain
the potentialities OF big surprise
While kuropatkin Is disposing his
fu-ces TO meet any pos
sible contingency, st. Pet
ersburg holds to the opinion that
he will not accept a general engage
ment but will withraw to Tie-Pass.

GOLF IS A NEW GAME
IN THE UNITED STATES
Was introduced Here Only Fiji
teen Years Ago, but Is Very
Popular.
MORE WESTERN PLAYERS

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-The wonderfully
short time i'm which the game of golf has
been in vogue in this country, together
with the equally remarkably large num-
Der OF devOtees which it has gained. has
placed it in the front rank of the Ameri-
can sports of to-day Golf, as played in
the United States is but fifteen years old.
the first links in this country were es-
tablished at Yonkers-on-the-H on
Nov. IS. 1885, on which date was formed the
Yonkers Golf Club. with Harry Holbrook,
John Reid, III. o. Tallmadge and j. II. Up
ham as charter members. The original links
consisted of but six holes, and the game
was introduced through the agency of Rob-
ert Lockhart, an enthusiastic member of
the ST. Andrews Golf Club, of Scotland
The second course in the United States
is what is still known as Shnnecock Hills,
which organized Aug % 1891. In
striking contrast to those days. it may now
be stated that every State in the Union
boasts of a multitude of golf courses. a
good many more in the Eastern States than
in the West. but with the strides the game
is making in the West it is assured be-
yond a doubt that every town and village
of any pretensiOns whatever will eventually
have its golf course. To-day in the State
of New York there are III golf courses,
les i'm Massachusetts. ia in Pennsylvania
Golf courses in the West not so nu-
merous because the game is younger
Wherever the game has been played il
has become firmly established and has
steadily grown in popularity among the
business men, who have needed some recre-
alton and pastime in the open air. Physi-
clans have recommended il as a promoter
of health in all of the cities where il has
been played, and many sickly person
has been reclaimed 10 health by a summer
or two on the links.
Much of the popularity of the game dur
ing the past two years has been attained
by reason of the fact that it has attracted
TO ii and retained vast number of women.
and this insures its purificat alton and sta
bility, although on many OF the courses
there is an ironclad rule which will not
permit of women playing on Saturday be-
cause OF the condition of the links.

| ABE ATTELL'S MANAGER
Baked NEAR THE END
Refused to Allow Attell to Box
Rauch at the Auditorium
Polo Rink.
MONEY WAS TOO SMALL
Three Preliminaries Given and Ad-
mission Returned to the
Spectators

Because the managers of the Indianapolis
Athletic Club had taken the word of the
manager of Abe Attell to carry out his part
of the agreement for AtteH to engage i'm a
ten-round contest against Morris Rauch
of Chicago. last night. there bout
between the TWO men at the Auditorium
polo link last evening. The manager of At
tell and the manager of Rauch had agreed
TO bring their men to indianapolis for
ten-round contest, the managers to receive
Il certain per cent. of the gross receipts,
and the men to be paid a certain sum for
their services, Notwithstanding what the
outcome of the contest might be. The In
dianapols Athletic Club exacted no fdfeit
from the men for appearance and to carry
out their part of the contract. as the club
believed the men and their managers would
fulfill the contract.
The weather was such as to prevent the
people from visiting a place of amusement,
and. in addition TO the terrific snowstorm
and the extreme cold wave, wreck on the
Nirgina-avenue line made the street-car
service very bad. The crowd was compare
lively small, considering the class of at
traction that was offered. Attells manager
realized that there was not a fortune in the
house, and, instead of agreeing 10 abide by
his agreement, he insisted that the club
should make good the difference between
the actual receipts and his dreams. This the
club refused to do, and after giving the
three preliminary bouts the club decided to
refund the money TO it's patrons. There
were a few who did not cash in their
coupons" while others ''rung in" on the
general admission crowd. that the club
paid out about $3.50 more than was taken
I'm at the advance sale and at the box Of
flee. The club tried to treat it's patrons in
fair manner and give every patron run
for his money. but Ii could not stand for
being held up by the managers of the fight
erS.
After a little parleying Rauch agreed
to meet any substitute that might be Sc
lected, but unfortunately Indianapolis has
few clever boxers and no one in Rauch' s
class and as the club believed the spec
tators had paid to see the bout between
Attell and Rauch no substitute bout was
given.
a chance on injuring his hands against
Rauch, as he is matched 10 meet Harry
Forbes at St. Louis Thursday night 1t
would have been necessary for him TO
have boxed hard to have won the decision
against Rauch and he said he could not
take a chance on injuring his hands. He
thought more of that than carrying out
his part of the agreement.
The three prelminaries were the best
that have ever been given by the club and
amply repaid the spectators for their trip
10 the rink such a cold night. Jimmy
Adams bested Jimmy Wilson i'm the first
bout Kid Dalton won the decision over
Ballinger defeated Kid Stiles in the third
preliminary.
