LITTLE HOPE OF PEACE.

counting the fall Of Port Arthur, and
the disastrous defeat of General kuro
patkin at the hands Of the combined
japanese armies, some diplomats are
already specializing upon the situa-
ton in which the combstants will be

It IL possible u way would be opened
for peace. The almost unanimous
opinion is that with her present record
OF victories. combined with the fnan-
cial difficulty OF continuing the war
indefinitely, japan would welcome
peace, and the almost equally unani.
nous verdict is that Russia would
adopt contrary course. Even should

Russia could not afford to yield, but

NEWS OF
 THE BOXERS
Martin Flaherty Knocked Out In Seventh Round By Jimmy Briggs--Other Fight News.

Martin Flaherty of Lowell, who ten years ago was regarded as one of the best lightweights in the business, was knocked out in seven rounds by Jim- my Briggs of Boston before the High land Athletic club, Marlboro, Mass, on Friday night The fight was lively up to the time of the finish and it looked as if it would go the journey, fifteen rounds. Flaherty in the openoing rounds showed flash of his old time form. He was in great trim and seem ed as strong as bear. He took the initiative, landing a number of straight jabs and swings. But as soon as Briggs came to him and eyinced a willingness to mix it up Flaherty was all at sea. In the fourth and fifth rounds Flaherty was sent groggy with two left hooks on the chin. But he was game and caught Briggs under the heart with the right, forcing the Boston man to clinch. In the seventh Flaherty went to pieces after mixup and held on for dear life. A swing on the jaw put him down and he tried to get mp, but was counted out. After the referee had announced Briggs as the victor Flaherty climbed to his feet and protested that he had been robbed, as he contended that he was up and in fighting trim before the count was completed. Tn the opinion of the spec tators Briggs would certainly have re- ceived the decision had the contest gone the limit.

 streak of good luck or an accident to an opponent. As the struggle mar rowed down Cleveland and Philadelphia gradually faded away and left Boston, New York and Chicago to fight for the flag. When Boston reached Chicago and took three straight, all their hopes vanished. New York was likewise for tunate in getting three in row from St. Louis. so these two clubs returned even terms, only one point separating them. Tn the series of five games sched- uled between them Boston won three and thereby became for a second time champions of the league. Games won and lost in the American league during the past season by one run have been more numerous than is generally sup posed, for there have been just 198 Of them. Games won and lost by two runs number 91, by three runs 9S, by four runs CT. by five runs 56, by six runs 30, by seven runs 20, by eight runs 16, by nine runs ', by ten runs z, by eleven runs 3, by twelve runs 3, by thirteen runs and by eighteen runs 1. There have been 54 extra-inning games during the season. Of this number 22 went ten rounds, IA for Il innings, nine for 12 innings, three for 13 innings, one of IA innings, four of 15 innings and one of 16 innigs. Nine of these extra inning contests resulted in ties. Tie games number 19. Seven of them resulted in to 0 contests. New York had the best luck in winning extra-round battles, taking Il out of 13 played. There were 138 times that one team or the other in this race was whitewashed, the greatest number of shutout games in single season on record. The only team in the league to take a series from the champion Boston aggregation was Cleveland, while the tailend Senators succeeded in getting only two out of 22 New York won every series except that with Boston and Chicago, the White Sox winning 12 to 10 by the Highlanders. Chicago lost to Boston and Philadelphia only. Cleveland lost to New York and Chicago. Washington came nearest to winning series from the St. Louis Browns, winning ten out of 21 games. From Detroit the Senators got eight, but from the other clubs they couldn't accomplish much. Donovan's team set a new record for games lost in a season, though the schedule of 154 games is IA more than were in the sched- ule when Pittsburg made the old rec- ord. s844

DEcKER REAr LoyE.

George Decker and Tommy Love, both of Philadelphia, furnished an in- teresting six-round bout at the Man haitian A. C., Philadelphia, on Friday night. Decker completely outclassed Love and would have been the winner on points. Tn the first two rounds Decker was all over Love. He punch ed Tommy when and where he pleas ed, and had Love weary Tn the third Decker staggered Love with a heavy right hook, and then getting over the right accurately on his opponents ear dropped him for the count. Tn the fourth and fifth rounds Love hugged, but in the sixth he seemed to have some power in his blows and made Decker blink with jabs and swings. Deck er's advantage was so manifest that all this work did not count.

 St. Louis for monthly salary that was about the same that he now re- ceives for mount in one race, is an in- teresting story. One day his horse ran away with load of pies. Davis was thrown from the seat soon after the run had commenced, but he pluckily clung to the lines and was dragged about half mile before the horse was stopped. When he was picked up he said that he was through driving, and would try his hand in racing stable. He drifted to New Orleans and last win- ter those who were in the Crescent City will remember young son of Ed Trot- ter, who drove goat in the in-field be- tween races, much to the amusement of the women in the grand stand. The attendant of the youngster and the goat was Davis AS Trotter did not have need of the boys services in the stable, Davis drifted about and finally it was learned that party had a contract on his serv- ices, but that the man holding the pa- pers was in hard luck and had not paid the boy his wages. When the breakup of the meeting came, Davis slowed away in the car of w. Harris, and with this stable went to St. Louis. Tn the sta ble were a couple of trick dogs, and these demanded the boys attention. Harris grew fond of the lad and finally decided to give him chance. He sought out the man that held the contract, told him that his failure to pay the boy meant that the contract was null, but that if he would transfer the papers he would pay the wages due and as bonus give just $20 The offer was accepted, and for this contract which cost just a $2o bill an offer of s10,000 was refused re- gently One of the most enthusiastic of Davis admirers is Tod Sloan. He be- lieves him to be the most promising de- velopment of all time. and he is in a position to judge, for in his day Sloan came pretty close to being master in the saddle. He is not the only clever judge that sings the praise of this rider With owners. trainers and the public, he is the idol of the hour and his mates can often be seen watching his work to pick tip a trick or two.
