THE PUGlLlSTS.
SURPRISE FOR
THE SPORTS
Jack O'Brien Puts Tw7n
Sullivan Away in the rd
Round-.Charley rfitchU-.
Says Times are Different.

ut Louis, April 15.--Jack O'Brien, the
noted Philadelphia middleWeight,
treated the sports at the West End A.
q, this city, to a surprise by knocking
out Jack (Twin) Sullivan of Boston in
three rounds last night. Very few ex-
pected such a short encounter in view
of Sullivan's previous essays against
.O'Brien and his established reputa-
ton. The bout, while it lasted, was
very even, but O'Brien's heavy swings
did the work and soon toppled Sullivan
over to defeat. Sullivan was getting
along nicely until O'Brien, who is q
stiff puncher, nailed him on the neck
with the right and put him down, The
blow sapped Sullivan's strength, ard
he could not pull himself together after
that.
Last nights battle was considered
important for the fact that the winner
will be eligible to meet Tommy Ryan
for the middleweight title.
The third began in furious fashion.
Sullivan rushed and immediately
clinched. When they broke away q
mix-up took place. Sullivan pegged
away with the right, driving this hand
for all he was worth into O'Brien's
wind. OiBrien after getting OF again
staggered Sullivan with well aimed
right swing which landed flush on Sui
Iivan's neck. Seeing his chance,
O'Brien waded in and put the Bos-
tonian down for the count with a left
on the jaw. Sullivan got up in weak
fashion and endeavored to cllnch.
He was groggy and In bad way.
O'Brien showed him off and with an
other hard right on the neck Sullivan
was foored again. He went down like
a beam and attempted to rise. But he
could not and was finally counted out
by Referee Harry Sharpe.
Sullivan seemed to be hurt and had
to be assisted to his corner. But he
was soon all right and left the build
ing apparently in as good shape as
ever.

TIMES ARE CHANGED.

ssThe boxing game has undergone
great change since old John L. Sullivan
and myself fought in 1883. There are
few, If any, of the old methods In use
in the fistic game" says Charley Mitch
ell. "You have only to compare some
Of the old-time fights, with those of tie
present day to get an idea OF the
change that has taken place. All
things change with time, and so has
the fighting game. as well as the fight
ers. have FOUGHT battles on the turf
with bare knuckIes when we were
obliged to use heavy spikes inss our
boots to get good footing. There was
little use for rosin in those days. In
my fight with Sullivan. which took
place on Baron Rothschild's estate at
Chantily, France, even heavy spikes
were of little use during half Of the
contest. After we had battIed about
an hour the rain began to fail In tor
rents. We were chilled through ap1
through by the rain and the ground on
which we fought became so muddy
that if was difficult for either man to
keep on his feet. Nowadays You have
your fine club houses, where a specta.
tor can witness the mill in evening
dress. if he chooses. You have fine
rings, with padded ropes and rosined
floors. The days of the spike-shot
fiehters milling with bare knuckles
have passed"

WOMEN AS SOL D|ERS
PLAYED A PROMINENT PART IN
TEE CIVIL WAR.
Proved Useful to the Government as
Spies In the Secret Service
a Notable Example Was
Pauline Cushman.

The startling assertion recently made
upon apparently good authority, that
not less than four hundred women rem
dered service as soldiers or regularly
enrolled spies in the Federal army, dur
Ing the war of the rebellion, seems al
most Incredible But while this SEEM
tngly large estimate may be In excess OF
the actual number, 1t Is evident that
many more women served in the army
than is generally supposed. The records
Of the war department show the dis
charge OF but q small number OF women
By reason Of discovery of sex, but it is
believed that many others continued
to serve without discovery.
The work of the secret service ap-
pealed more directly to the nervous
sensibilities and physical possibilities Of
women than the drudgery involved In
carrying a musket, and number who
made no attempt to conceal their Sex
were duly enrolled as spies.
Among these none were better known
than Pauline Cushman, singuIarIJ
gifted woman OF southern birth, high
ly accomplished, of a romantic dispcsi-
ton, and much inclined to do startling
things. Her synpathies from the be-
ginning of the war we're strongly in IA
vor cf the union cause and opposed to
the separation Of the states. Her home
in Cincinnati in the early days OF the
war was the resort of many prominent
people. among whom a paroled officer OF
the Confederate army became in time
an apparently welcome visitor
AS the war progressed Miss Cushnan
became much impressed with the idea
that IL was her duty to rem
der some service to the Union
cause, and while debating in her
mind the character of the service
for which she was best fitted an incl
dent occurred that seemed to point out
the way. Her Confederate friend one
day bantered her playfully to offer
toast to Jeff Davis on the stage OF q
Louisville theater in which she was
then playing. She accepted tho banter,
and, Fastening to the office of Mai.

cret service with the purpose OF becom-
ing Federal spy.
That night at the theater, after hav-
Ing won a notable success in playing
her part, she suddenly stepped to the
front OF the stage and offered toast
to JEFF Davis and the Southern Con-
federacy." An indescrihable confusion
followed this apparently rash and UNI
called for insult to the loyal audience
present. On the following day the man
agement publicly disclaimed any con-
nection with the incident, and In part
repaTation for the discourtesy shown
the audience, announced the summary
discharge of the offender from the the
alter company. Many of Miss Cushman's
admirers immediately abandoned her.
and for several days after the theater
incident she was subjected to many So
cial indignities from those who had
previously been numbered among her
friends. Her Confederate acquaintance
came promptly to her assistance, and,
armed with letters of introduction from
him, he fed to the south.
She entered the lines of the Confe6-
crate forces as soon as possible aud
offered her services as a spy. She wore
q semi-military habit and presented a
striking personal appearance. Her re-
markable beauty, brilliant mind and au-
daeity won the confidence of every COM
mander with whom she came In con-
tact, including Gen. Morgan, who SUBJ
sequently, it will be remembered, led a
raiding party through southern Ohio ia
1864 The general succunbed complete
ly to the dasLing beauty who sought to
serve him as a spy, and offered her his
heart and hand
In time her dupllcity was discovered,
and when her capture occurred soon
thereafter, she was brought to trial be-
fore court martial and sentenced to
be hung. Fortunately for her she fell
i'll with typhoid fever before the SEN
tence could be carried into effect, and
for several weeks lay towering between
life and death. After the fall Of Rich
mond she was found by the Federal
troops locked in q prison cell.
On one occasion during her service
she brought information to Gen. Car
field that greatly pleased him and
caused him to address her as Major"
Strange as 1t may appear, she took the
compliment seriously and seemed there
after to be proud Of the title.

NEW YORK, April 15.--In the east

here by score of to 2. Cheshire
was hit for two home runs, the only
scores made by the visitors. Young
was badly batted at the opening of
the game and in the next three inn
ings was hit effectively for run in
each.
Most of the credit of Boston's de-
feat can be laid TO Chesbro. He was
in the best of form and had the cham
pions' batters completely at his mercy.
He had midsummer speed and mixed
up his curves to great advantage.
In addition he received gilt edged
lsupport, not an error marking the play
behind him.
Considering the weather some of the
work done by the fielders was little
short of marvellous E1berfield, Fultz
