! PETER LOOKS ALL IN.

It appears that the reports of Peter Maher's sudden rejuvepation have been rather premature. Not so long age when the perennial Irish champion knocked out Jim Jeffords, the husky California heavyweight, Peters friends began to wonder if Maher had become youthful again, To trim Jeffords in the fashion he did was hailed as being out of the ordinary. There is no pugil- is+ in fhe business who is held in high CT esteem than Maher, and if he had been real heavyweight champion his vogue would probably have been as ever green as John T. Sultivan's. Maher has sustained defeat after. defeat. yet when he won a fight or two all the de7 feats were forgotten and his followers hade him hero. But his showing during the last two weeks has evident ;y robbed nim of all the lustre he gained.

FITZ AND O'BRLEN.

There is much rejoicing among the sports now. that Bob Fitzsimmons and Jack O'Brien are to have it out, A Philadelphia court decided this on Fri day, and the new date set for the mill is July 23. The comba is an important one, even if it is limited to six rounds. Good judges figure that when two biz men get together there should be some thing doing before the end is in sight unless there is. a previous understand ing. Fitzsimmons does not know now to be gentle in the ring if he tries. It takes a mighty hardy and clever man to avoid his sledge-hammer blows, especially his noted shift. Of course Ae will have to do his best to land hard on O'Brien, for the latter is admittedly clever. He knows all the fine points of the ring and can do some gruelling himself

CRAWL FOX APPENDICITIS.
German Medical Journals Recon mending Aboriginal Treat
 Hent for Disease.

:. German medical journals are recom- mending g new and peculiar remedy for appendicitis, the employment of which, it is declared, will obviate the necessity for the use of the knife in the great majority of cases. 1- s..4. $.
 This remedy consists in walking on all fours 20 minutes four times a day. A contemporary states that this meth cd is not only original. but almost ab- original. However this may be, the method is certainly worthy of consid- eration. This method of treatment op- crates by strengthening the abdominal muscles. When the muscles have re- faxed the bowels become displaced, congested and diseased; the disease ex- tends to the appendix. and thus an ir- f1ammation is produced
 It is claimed that we'll known Ger man diplomat has recently been cured of appendicitis by this method.

FENN FAILED IN THIS.

t- H
 Willie Tenn of this city, the erst- while Boy Wonder" made a. game effort to win the only professional race on the card yesterday at the Yails- burg cycle track, after his team mate, Champion Frank L.; Kramer, had been thrown from his bicycle The dis lance was twenty miles. Fred H. Scheps, the Adelaide, Australia. rider, who placed the last Austral wheel race with its first prize of E 450 to his cred it, tried to make a runaway in the last lap of the contest. He had ten lengths lead as he. swung into the backstretch. and the 4.OO0 spectators began to yell that he would win, but Fem fairly. flew over the track through the backstretch after the Aus tra1ian and passed him at the middle of the last turn. As the tired Water bury rider turned into the homestretch Menus Bedell. who had not made any pace during the entire race, raced up almost on even terms with Fenn and the pair fought every inch of the way to the xape. The spectators thought Fenn won, but the judges announced that BedelI had defeated Fem. There were seven position prizes at the end of the race. and John Bedell was able to secure third. after having the advan- tage os Fenn's pacing. The best Scheps could do was to win sixth prize as Flying Dutchman" Krebs and Caldwell also passed him.

FIRST MOTOR RAGE.

The first motor paced race run at Vailsburg in two years was won there yesterday by Nat Butler of Boston, who defeated Joe Nelson of Newark in two straight heats of five miles each. Nelson had the better Of the start in the first, heat and led for a mile and a half. when Butler passed him. Soon after Nelson got the lead again and the pair alternated in the lead until the last few laps when But Ter went to the front and stayed there, winning by two lengths. Tn the second heat Nelson lost his pace at 3A miles, but caught it again after riding un- paced for half lap. When Nelson was shaken off Butler stopped riding as fast as he had been doing and Nell son almost caught him in the last lap. Butler managed to win, however, by about ten feet.

THE PUGlLISTS.
TWO GOOD FIGHTS
 NOW ON THE TAPS

Two important bouts have been ar ranged which are sure to attract more than passing attention. They are the battle between Eddie Hanlon of San Francisco and Battling Nelson of Chi cago, and, Hughy McGovern of Brook lyn and Bantam Champion Frankie Nell. Both affairs are to be be held during the latter part of this month. The first named scrap takes place be- fore the Hayes Valley A.. o., San Fran cisco, on July %, while McGoYern and Neil will have it out at Philadelphia, unless present plans go amiss, on July 26.
 Hanlon's bout with Nelson is one Of the fstic events of the season so far as California is concerned. and will be a big betting event. San Francisco is Hanlon's home, and the sports there swear by him. Although Young Cor bett took his measure they regard him as a wonder, and like Othello, he is loved for the dangers he has passed. Hanlon had a triumphant eastern trip. and if he loses to Nelson there will be much gloom on the Pacltic coast.
 Nelson's rise to pugilistic honors has been sudden. Not so long ago few even heard of him. Buth he came along unheralded and unnoticed until he put Martin Gamble of New England away after a stirring encounter. In that Fout Nelson showed that he is made of the stuff that makes fstic heroes, and to-day he is considered a worthy op- ponent for Hanlon.
 As to Hughey McGovern's "go" with Neil, there is not much to be said save that McGoyeTYl will have to be at his best to win. He has fought good deal in the last two years, but none of his opponents can compare with Nell as far as pugilistic ability is concerned. Nevertheless the tilt between them should be interesting, all the more so as it will show whether Hnghey is as good fighter as his noted brother, Terry.

CITY AMATEUR NOTES.


 Many thanks gentlemen, many thanks. The treasury begins to look prosperous once more.
 N As the season advances the crowds at the games increases. Over 4,00O people attended the game at Riverside park yesterday.
 s'Say, Bill" asked ohe of Catcher Dwyer's lady admirers "did Ehe Saints beat you?'' "Aw what are you giving me-foolish question, foolish question:" said Bill as he lay down to take in the Washington -Hi1l-P Pastime game Bill is a great favorite at the park and with the small boys he's their hero. About twenty five of them congregated around Bill as soon as his game was over and the ques- tions he had to answer and settle were indeed numerous.
 The league did a good job when it roped off the field. It keeps the crowd back and the players have a much bet ter chance to get after the ball. But in spite of the rope some people will get in the way of the players. This was proven yesterday in left field. The Pastimes were at the bat A high fly was knocked into deep left field. Tom LaWlor was <running for the ball when he stumbled over a spectator who was too lazy to get out of the way. Somebody will get hurt some day, and then the crowd will stand back of the rope A player who is trying to field a fly ball ought to have the whole of the field to himself. It is not only dangerous to those who get out on the. field to witness the game, but it's doubly so to the player. It makes him nervous and shalxy and nine out of ten times he will miss the ball when he has to stop to pick his way among a lot of, fellows who lie on the ground.
 Everybody who attends the games knows Captain Bill Cleary. He is 3 ball player every inch of him, and none better can be found in the City league Bill didn't have to make a reputation as ball player in Water bury, he brought one with him. At his college he was one of the best and i'll the City league he has more than sustained that reputation Bill is cap tain of the .Merrimac team He's pop lilar and a great fayoritet with Ill who know him. He is generous and unset fish. He showed this yesterday when he refused. to get into the game. One of the Merrimacs who hadn't played for some time wanted to play Sunday and Bill sooner than lay off any of the men volunteered to sit on the bench himself. When the Merrimacs lined up and discovered that Cleary was on the bench almost all the players offer ed their position to him. But he re fused and the game started with the captain of the Merrimacs on the bench. This ought not to be. The captains place is Oh the field The Merrimacs lost. With C1eary in the game the result would have been diff ferent. No one is to blame, the man ager had nothing to do with it. Bill simply wanted to. give a player a chance and gave him his position for last Sunday. Next, Sunday Bill will be in the game again and never will be allowed to decorate the bench any more. He is out of place oil the bench. His place is on the field where lie can be the most useful to his team.

NEW THROWING RECORD.
Flanagan Throws the s6-pound 40 Feet ? Inches at Tipperary Games.

New York, July 18.-The annual pie nic of the Tipperary Mems association at Celtic park. yesterday was signal ized by a new weight throwing record. John Flanagan, the Irish Hercules, slung the 56-pound weight, unlimited run and follow. with both hands, a distance of 40 feet 2 inches. No pre- yious record stood for. this style of throwing. so that the figure now be comes the worlds best mark. Throw ing the weight with unlimited run is practised chiefly in Ireland, where the competitors are restricted to tie use only of one hand and the. record under these conditions is 3S feet II inches, by T. F. Kiely in 1897.

BICYCLING. YOUNG PENN
 IN SPRINTS
Hustles to the Tape But is Declared Second by the Judges--But People Think Otherwise.

A good sized crowd attended the bi. cycle races at Manhattan Beach yes. terday and witnessed prime sport.
 The chief event, the i've mile profes- sional championship, was a rousing race run all in one heat with the men starting in four different lines, the scratch men at the rear. There were twenty three starters and there being intermediate prizes of one point for the laps and ten points for the leaders at each mile, the money chas- CTS made a stiff sprint of it all the way. In the last lap what looked much like q new combination devel- oped. Fem, pulling Kramer and the Bedell brothers. leaped to the front and opened a gap between themselves and the rest of the string, with Frank Caldwell following. Tenn dropped Kramer at the head of the stretch and the quartet rode home in close order, Kramer winning from Menus Bedell. It looked as if Menus Bedell might have beaten Kramer had he tried, but that he was seeking only the second prize.
 There were a number of falls in both the five mile events in which big fields started. but the only rider badly hurt was Mario Rossinis the champion of Italy. He fell in the i've mile championship and broke his collarbone. He arose and started to, walk to the training quarters, not knowing he was much hurt. but fell on the way. and was carried ,, to his. cot. An ambu- lance was called and his injuries at tended to by the surgeon. . -.r ss,
 The consolation event for non-win- ners was a merry scramble in which Fenn and Schreiber made a great struggle for the prize, Fem winning by few feet.

THOUSANDS
 WERE THERE
City Amateur League will Flourish to the End Re- suits of all Games Played Yesterday.

Interest is not dead in the City Anna teur league, as some would have us believe. It is on the increase, and yesterday the thousands Of people who were present enjoyed three good exhi- bitions. The new innovation of selling tickets on the field worked we'll and while there were many who would not contribute, there were q great many who did and who fully appreciated the work of the six teams in the league. An important meeting of the league will be held tomorrow evening and there arrangements will be made to hustle from now to the end of the sea- son. A new and good feature of the grounds yesterday was the fact that they were roped or rather wired in, and the crowd was kept at 8 respectful dis tance from the players. Hereafter it will be. "a pleasure to see the games. The scores were as follows:
 NORTH ENDS REVIVED.
 In the first game the North Ends sprang surprise on the Merrimacs by putting in several new players for that team, but old players in the league. The Merrimacs started out like win ners, but in the fifth inning the team, or part Of it, went to pieces, and before the rout was stopped the North Ends had scored seven runs, all that they scored in the, game, but enough to win out.

 BROOKLYNS RUNNING AWAY.

The latter has been A&iiutcdpp0Q III the caIcnlng doElarL- ment. and yesterday was no exception to that handicap. Moran was unable to pitch as he would like to and conse- quentlys the Brooklyns went after him pretty strong. The Brooklyns played excellent ball, however, and merit the right to be called the champions, and unless a good stand is soon made by some of the other teams there will be nothing to it but Brooklyn The score:
