THE pUGlL.ISTS.
THIS WILL
 BE A FIGHT
Tommy Ryan And Jack O'Brien are Matched Sandy Ferguson After TeffrieS-Ottaer News.

Tommy Ryan vs Philadelphia Jack" O'Brien, twenty rounds, for the mid dleWeight championship of the world. That is the match whose announce ment stirred the blood in the veins of every fight fan who heard it last night 1t means a slashing, glorious contest, worth going across the conti- nent to see, but happily this will not be necessary, as the meeting is carded for Rouse's Point, N. Y, before the In- .ternational Athletic association, which has hung up a purse of S1000O.
 The weight question is still at issue between the boxers. Ryan, as cham pion, dictates 156 pounds at the ring side, while O'Brien asks for 158 pounds, on the ground that it was at this weight that Fitzsimmons took the title from the great Dempsey .O'Brien said last night that to get fight he would concede two pounds, though it spelled weakness for him. He thought Ryan was selfish in demanding such a low poundage.
 As matter of fact, 1t does not mean weakness for O'Brfen, who said a few weeks ago, when an effort was being made to arrange middleWeight
 
 fighting weight was 156, and that if he signed to box for the title with Ryan, Mccoy and Fftzsimmons en- tered, he would ask for 156 at the ring side. though willing, if necessary, to make 15S, in order to let Fitz and Me Coy qualify.
 OtBrien, who has been fighting pow erful heavies, is in reality a true mid dleweight and will do 156 comfortably. He is great deal like Ryan in that he is Of vastly higher class than his weight.
 Ryan, who is the most marvellous of fighters when considered from every angle, can make 145 pounds to-day, and though at present loaf1ng on his fruit farm at St Joseph, Mich, he weighs only 158, as the scales demon strated last week.
 Ryan will beat O'Brien. He can outbox him and he can outslug him. Tommy Ryan is, perhaps, the only boxer in the ring to-day, outside of Jeffries, who combines great speed with destructive hitting power. He is fighting man par excellence. He is adept in everything that goes, to make a champion Gan anyone name a desirable fighting quality which he lacks?
 Tardy in getting into the ring, he is a veritable demon when started inside. His brain is in an ice bath when in action. Great is O'Bfien. but greater IGs Tommy Ryan, champion middle weight of the world.

NELSON AFTER TERRY.

If Terry McGovern desires, he can have a match with Battling Nelson, the clever Chicago lightweight, whose recent victory over Aurelfo Herrera is still being commented upon. Tester day Sam Harris got word from a club in Butte to the effect that Nelson was prepared to try conclusions with Mo Govern on October 15 and that the or ganization was ready to give a purse as soon as Terry accepted Harris is undecided what to do regarding the offer, preferring to- wait before reply ing. until he learns details as to weight, etc Nelson and McGovern have fighting styles that are almost alike, of the rushing type McGovern has been taking light exercise lately. so it is expected that he will be in fair trim by the time the encounter is rati. fed.

SARATOGA PLEAsEs WOMEN
Famous New York Resort Gives Tenn porary Freedom to the
 Fair Sex.

"The lady at Saratoga gets p.ore out bf her visit than does the gentleman who takes her there," says Charles E.. Frevathan, in Everybody's Magazine. ''she may do with impunity in Sarato- ga those things which she may not ap- proach even in thought elsewhere, and It is perhaps because of this temporary freedom that she loves her Saratoga as she loves no other resort. It is the one environment through which she may move along if she like, the one acre of pleasure-making where the escort is not necessary to her pursuit of laughter She may go through the drives alone in the forenoon, and she may stroll about the race course in the afternoon alone; she may dine alone and wine alone; she may sit out the concerts in the evening or watch the moonlight on the verandas alone, and there will scarce be comment upon her actions She may. without fear, go alone anywhere and everywhere in the town that man can go. And this is a privilege of which she does not avail herself. She merely gets keen sort of relish in the idea that she could an she would There is more fun b be had with somebody along and the lady of Saratoga is rarely a person alone.'"

THE FIRST NIGHT TRAIN.
Tt Was Run s6ut Of Cumberland by
 Henry G. Davis.

It Was Run s0ut of Cumberland by
 Henry G. Davis.
 Henry Gassaway Davis found his first advancement when he secured the coveted position of brakeman on a freight train of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, says Leslie's Weekly. It was not long before he was ad- vanced to the more responsible posi- ton of freight conductor, responsible in these days, but far more so relative ly in those. At twentyfour he was again promoted, this time to the posi- ton of superintendent in charge of the running of all the trains.
 He introduced an innovation which marked decided advance step in rail- roading. Up to that time it had not been considered practicable to run trains at night. When nightfall came freight trains and passenger trains alike were 'tied up,' their journeys to be resumed only when daylight came. Davis held that there was no good req son why they should not be run by night as well as by day and proved it. His first night train from Cumberland to Baltimore marked an important epoch in railroad1ng.

How Joseph ChamberYafn's MonocIe
 Avved the Expatrtate's FIunIxy.
 The very latest London anecdote con corning William Waldorf Astor, who is now paying brief visit to the land of his nativity, dates from certain dinner party given by the eccentric ex- patriate at which the Hon. Joseph Chamberlain and his wife were guests.
 The two started in ample time, but owing to street blockade were de- layed and arrived one minute late. Ushered into the reception room, they found it vacant. The guests had been seated promptly on the stroke of the hour.
 MT. Chamberlain wasn't worried. 'sTell Mir. Astor to come and conduct Mrs. Chamberlain to the table, he said in his blandest tone to the funky.
 "Y-y-yes, sir" said the servant, with one glance at the awe inspiring 'mon- ocle.
 He must have delivered the message. MT. Astor came.

CANS AND WALCoTT.

Philadelphia, Sept 1O.-The offer made recently by Willie Fitzgerald to take the place of Jimmy Gardner against Joe Cans in the fight for the lightweight championship, has been refused, and Joe Walcott substituted. The date of the match is unchanged, but the weight will be 142 pounds. Cans at first objected to this weight and refused to sign unless Walcott re duced to 140 Word, however, was re- .cefyed that if the proposition was not immediately accepted Frankie Neil and Tommy Murphy would take then place on September 80, and the mel quickly came to terms.

A Nanety-year-o1d "Cop."

"Uncle'' William Shaver, aged nine ty years, was one of the force of spe- cial police who served at the county fair recently held at Chatham, N. Y. He was a conspicuous figure with his red badge bearing the word police" He kept careful watch for pickpock- cts and other lawbreakers, but the crowd was orderly one, and the bulk of his duties consisted in making passageways through crowded aisles in the buildings or preventing teams from being driven on forbidden ground He worked during all four days of the exhibition and with great CT agility than some men his juniors.

TABLE OF PERCENTAGE
BASEBALL PLAYERS
 PLAN TO REORGANTZE

Plans are being formed for revival of the National association of Profess sional Baseball players. With that sob- jeet in view a meting of delegates from each club in the National and American leagues will be held tomor- row afternoon at the Hotel Marlbo- rough.
 Harry Davis of the Philadelphia ath- letics,, secretary of the association, re- gently sent out call for the meeting after canvassing the sentiment of the players of both leagues. The names of the delegates from the local clubs have not been made public.
 The payers fear general reduction of salaries and a return to the old system that prevailed when the Ma tional league had no rival. They fear the Americans, with solid peace estab- lished, will fall in line with the old foes to get the upper hand of the play CTS once more.

No person in the New England sEates was more anxious about the

 hins all over the state to-day and in

Meriden's Slayers slept at the Hotel Russell In $pringfieId last night and Manager ham Kennedy agreed to play four ames with the Ponies to-day, two in ahe morning and two in the afternoon 1Eolyoke will play two in Bridgeport soeday and Norwich will play one in New Haven. It is difficult to forecast winner at any time but when the

WATERBURY WANTS GAME.

The following challenge appeared in the Hartford Courant this morning: To the Editor of the Courant:
 Will you kindly say. in to-morrow's issue of the Courant that the original Waterbury Consolidated base ball team of this city, which has won one and lost one with Rockville, Williman tic and Manchester would like to play off a deciding game at Hartford with the Manchesters for the semi-profes- isional champie Aship of the state. The Waterburys have put asleep the Tor ringtons, the strongest team in the Naugatuck valley, and the Stamfords, who claimed to be the semi-prof ofession- al champions of southern Connecticut. Therefore, they feel that they are en- titled to another game with the Man chesters. C. T. BRENNAN, Secretary Waterbury Consolidated

Dfscoverer of IIelium on the Futnre
 of Radio Active Elemen4s.

OE R&GAO ACHING lL1emGEzESs Sir William Ramsay the eminent English chemist who discovered helium and argon and who has experimented extensively with radium, is now visit ing this country. In 2 recent interview with q New York Tribune reporter he talked Interestingly of the mysterious radio active clements Among other things he said:
 In England the strange properties of radium have excited a surprising de gree of popular interest I gave a lee ture on the subject in a hall holding $500 people. The building was crowd ed, and much enthusiasm was mani fested. We cannot yet say what will come from these discoveries. When I am asked of what use they are I an. swer: "Oh, what use is baby? Let it grow up and see!''
 Of the various theories advanced to account for the evolution of heat and the other strange forms of radiation from radium and allied clements the most satisfactory seems to be that some of the atoms in those substances are disintegratiug and in doing so lib- CIdLC StOISd A ISW p1yS like Lord Kelvin were at one time dis posed to fancy that the energy was first absorbed from some external source and then given off again. Not having compared notes lately with Lord Kelvin, am not sure how far he has modified his views. If we judge from the rate at which gas is evolved from radfum, or salt of radium, it seems probable that any given mass of it would completely decay and disap- pear in about 2,500 years. The life of the three or four other radio active metals is very much longer.
 The theory that an atom is made up of much smaller particles, which are held together by electric attraction and is the seat of stored energy is of philosophic importance mainly. It greatly modifies our conceptions of the nature of matter, but at present it has no apparent bearing on the practical work of the chemist. The old formu- lac which were based on the notion of indivisibility are still serviceable. Our new understanding of the atom, however, may eventually lead to un- foreseen results I have been engaged in researches which are not yet com plete, but which encourage me to think that the "electronic" theory of atoms has career of practical useful ness before it.
 Professor Baskerville's belief that he has found two previously unrecog. nized clements in thorium has much to commend 1t. There is independent evidence of the complexity of thorium
 I have myself been Investigating the subject. Until have chance to talk further with your fellow countryman,
 however, I find 1t hard to express an opinion.
 As for the so called N rays, which
 Blondlot of Nancy professes to have
 found, can only say that thus far no one but Frenchmen have been able l to detect them.

WRESTLING.
GEORGE BoTHN.ER HURT.

The wrestling match between George Bothner, the lightweight cham pion, and Teddy Sitter of Brooklyn was postponed last night at Watson $ Cozy Corner theater,. near the river. The cause of the postponement was an operation on Bothner's leg for an injury he received during his enconal- ter with Leo Pardello on Labor day. Both men have agreed to meet again at the same house in few weeks.
 Max Miller. the middleweight cham pion of England, wrestled with Sitter to a draw in fifteen minutes. The bout was a lively one, and appreciated by the audience. The purse of $50. which the house offered, was split be- tween the contestants.

FERGUsoN sHBDs TRoUBLE.

If Jim Jeffries desires a fight, he can have one, for yesterday Sandy Ferguson, the Boston heavyweight, is- sued a challenge to the champion, ace companied by forfeit of $500. Fer guson is of the opinion that he is en- titled to a contest with the boiler maker, in view of the fact that he has defeated some clever big men and has never been knocked out. FergIl- son is fast and clever for a heavy weight, and some good judges are in- clined to think that he will make q fine showing against the Californian. Ferguson says he is ready to fight Jeffries within two months at San Francisco or in Nevada, or at any other spot where boxing is permitted.

 There was plenty of opposition, but Croker was not to be denied.
 In the case of the Gamechick lilly there was a determined contest be- tween Croker and Lord Marcus Beres- ford, who was representing a syndicate including the King and the Duke of Devonshire:
 They bid against each other in dun dreds from 2,OOO to $500 guineas.
