Monte Carlo, Feb. 19.-The final round of the international sexangu- lar chess tournament was played yes terday, with the result that Marcozy beat Marshall, Gunsberg disposed of Swiderski and Schlechter administer cred defeat to Marco. As will be seen from the final scores of the players, Marcoczy receiver first prize to the value of 5000 francs, Schlechter was placed second and the American, Mar shall, third.
 2 All except the winner, only get pro- portion of 1000 francs, according to the number of points scored Maroczy received also the silver cup, which will become the property of the player winning it three times, not necessarily in succession. The special prizes, such as those given by Baron Albert de Rothschild, Prince Dadian of Min grelia and G. +. Naumann of London, will be awarded later on. The final scores follow:

MALCOLM FORBES DEAD
We'll Known Yachtman and Horse
 man Died in Milton.

Milton, Mass, Feb 19.-J Malcolm Forbes, ely known as a patron of light harness racing and a yachtsman, died to-day at his residence here. MT Forbes had been suffering from an in ternal malady for about a week. Two operations, performed as. last resort, failed.
 MT Forbes was nearly 60 years of age. He was very wealthy and for many years was a heavy shareholder in the American Bell Telephone Co and other properties As a horseman he was prominent both as an owner and breeder of famous racing stock, and as a yachtsman he had actively participated in international cup races.

Mccoy After Fitz.

With Jim Corbett unwilling to fight FitSsimmons for tat least two years, z Kid McCoy comes to the front with an offer to fight the Cornishman for the middleweight championship of the world at the regulation limit, 15S pounds, and says he will post forfeit of $1 GOO to bind the match, Fitzsim- mons has insisted all along that he is the real middieweight champion be- cause he won the title from the late Jack Dempsy and has never been beat en at the weight Mccoy weighed 164 pounds stripped few days ago and expressed confidence in hfs11ability to get down to l5S and be strong. Fitz has offered to fight anybody at this weight particularly Ryan, who has claimed the middleweight title for some time, but the latter has avoided Robert at every angle. If Mccoy posts his ferfeit and actually means busi- ness, 1t will be up to Fitz to fight him or give up the title. As Fitz always expressed desire to get a crack at Mccoy, it will be surprising if he re. euses the Kid's challenge.

Heard Right There.

Edward Madden of Manchester sent a challenge to John E. Rely to wrestie at 15O pounds for $1O0 a s'de
 Dan Pickett and Perigard should get together again for longer match. It would be worth going a distance to see.
 Dick Howell has mighty good man in Billy Gnaki and another match between Kelly and him would be a good drawing card.
 Everything was conducted in an orderly manner last night and the members of the South End club de- serve whole lot of praise.
 There was an objection made be- cause Pickett was given that fall when Perigards shoulders were off the mat. That fall was started on the mat when one of Perigald's shoulders was down. By gradual working Perigard had forced himself toward the edge of the mat but all the time the other. shoulder was ap- preaching the fall. When both did touch they were off the mat, but the fall was legitimate just the same.

JelEries Changes Views.

The following is another opinion Glven by the big fellow on the coming Sharkey and Munroe fight:
 Champion Jeffries is showing at New York theater. The big fellow has taken on weight since he took Cor bett's measure on the coast, but he says he can fit himself for mill in side of four weeks or less. The boil ermaker is more interested in the out come of the coming battle between sSharkey and Munroe than anybody else, for he will lose no time in taking on the winner. While Jeffries has never made a prediction, he believes, st is said, that Sharkey will win. for he says that of all the men he has de feafed the sailor was the hardest prob lem to solve. But if he meets Shar- key again the champion feels sure that he will whip him in jig time. When we fought before, and ShaTkey stayed twenty five rounds" said Jeffries the >pther night | had no left hand. I Eent through the mill using the left
 aly as a guard, while I did all my
 punching wi.h right hand counters.
 Aat was why Sharkey went the limit. He was game, however, and put up a 3Fonderful fight. His physical condi- tion helped him, no doubt, and if he 1 can be as 1t again he will be a worthy foe" Jeffries thinks that Sharkey would be a better drawing card than Munroe in a light with him for the championship, but there is difference of opinion on this point among sport ing men. Should MHnfoe beat Shar- key, it would be up to Jeffries to prove that the miner was only lucky when he stayed four rounds with him at Butte last year.

pot of coin was wagered on the result. Kelly was 6 2 to 1 favorito before the match had been under way very Long. The Waterbury boy displayed the most cleyerness and at times tossed CnaH around like 8 football. Cnaki, however, was a punisher and when on top of Kelly, which he was frequently, his face grueling was something Kelly did not relish. 1t is pretty certain that Kelly never was up against Ii man who punished so much. Cnaki is a tricky wrestler, too, and showed the effects of some ones good coaching. do with it. for he sat in Cnaki's corner and quietly coached hts man from that point. The audience yelled itself hoarse to have Atlas cease, and final ly Kelly's seconds protested and the referee warned the professor to quit, and quit he did. It was up and down. give and take, rough house for rough house, between the two. Kelly came the nearest of either to securing a fall, but the strength of the Bridgeporter pulled him out of the Aole. All this time Kelly was evening up the gruel ing he received, for he ground Cnaki's face unmercifully. Kelly complained frequently that CnaH was biting him when he worked that face lock but the only biting that Kelly was reeeiv- ing was from the top row of Cnaki's teeth where Kelly would draw his arm across and upwards. Kelly com plained of Cnaki punching him in the face, and so did Cnaki of Kelly. It was rough house of the genuine order, with the most science shown by Kelly and the bulldog strength exhibited by Cnaki. Then came the unfortunate ending, when Kelly was put out of the contest by the fall from the plat form.
 The exhibition was good ole and the club evidently netted nice little figure.

BASE BALL.
HANLON DIFFERS
 WITH FARRELL
Says He Made No Agree ment About Ridgewood --StiN Harping on Base Ball War.

New York, Feb 19.-Manager Ned Hanlon of the Brooklyn baseball cub, who has just returned from the Cal- afornia peace conference. was in the city yesterday attending a meeting of the Eastern league circuit commi etee as representative of the Baltimore club.
 Aanlon for the first time had some thing to say on the Ridgewood Sun day ball dispute between the Greater New Yorks and the Brooklyn club.
 T see 1t published said Hanlon, ''that on behalf of the Brooklyn cub l agreed with Frank Farrell last fall at the Bennings race track to share the Greater New Works. I wish to deny this statement MT Farrell spoke to ne about Sunday games, but did not mention Ridgewood. I did not know what place he was talking about. In the second place, have no authority to make any such ar rangement If I wanted to. A matter of that kind would be up to the board of directors of the Brooklyn club. I think Ridgewood is in our territory and would certainly object to any other club dividing our pat ronage with us.
 .'So far as the playing end of the Brooklyn club is concerned my word is absolute. Individually I have noth- ing to do with the business end, and have no power whatever to make the arrangement spoken of by Mir Far relI.'
 Speaking Of the results of the Cali fornia conference Hanlon said: There appears to be only one player in dispute Just now between the Pa cific Coast league and the Natio1al league. That is Frank Dillon, who played first base for the Les Angeles team last year and early in the sea son signed to play with the Brooklyn club this year. President Morley of Los Angeles now claims Dillon. can say this: If Dillon does not play with Brooklyn there will be no national agreement. We lost Corbett. Hughes Newton and Schmidt to the Coast league. and have conceded enough.
 Morley is quoted as saving:
 .'Say for me that if Dillon is to be the price of peace, as reported, there will be no peace in baseball. The peace agreement reported by Johnson, Hart Hanlon and myself is not a measure to be acted upon piecemeal The list of players submitted at that meeting goes in toto or it does not go at all''

THE PUGILlSTS.
,JIM CORBETT'S
 KNOCK OUT.
A-FoOtball Player Wants to Whip Him and He Takes Two Punches and the Count.

Cleveland, Feb 19.-James J. Cor bett, the former champion heavy weight pugilist of the world, and doing vaudeville "stunt" at the Colonial theater this week, was an unwilling participant In an impromptu battle in q doWn-toWn resort couple of morn ings aga.
 Corbett, with party of friends, en- tered the place about midnight to se- cure lunch. A few minutes later in carne Charles A. Boyle of Boston, well known graduate football player of Dartmouth college. Boyle coached the Western Reserve team last fall and is rated as one of the best foot ball players in the country.
 While not as tall as Corbett, he weighs in the neighborhood of 200 pounds He recognized Corbett. and not being one of the ex-champion's ad- miners, made the remark that he could whip any man in the house, Corbett included.
 Corbett, however, kept his temper and tried to argue Boyle out of bis de- sire to light.
 '.You do not really wish to fight" said Corbett "This tile floor would be rather hard thing to fall on. you Know. You had better go back to your hotel and think 1t over. If you want to fight tomorrow morning we'll then, all right. I will take you on ' Boyle was not to be put off in any such manner. He retorted that Cor hett was four-fushing, and that he could whip him with one hand tied be- hind him. With that he made pass for Corbett's jaw.
 The blow never landed, hut Corbett came back with right handler on iAe point of the chin. He then uppercut him with the left and the fight was all over, Boyle sinking helplessly to the floor.
 .'I am sorry that this happened" said Gorbett, "but simply had to de fend myself Had Boyle gone back to aleep, as advised him to, it would never have happened"

P1att Denounee. Home auIe..

NEW YORK, Feb. 1a.--Senator Platt lends without reservation the weight of his influence against any attempt by the legislature or the governor to give New York home rule. Tt would be suicidal from a Republican party point of view" says the senator. While he thus announces himself at Wash ington. the home rule committee to consider the situation and prepare a measure is announced at Albany by Governor Odell, who controls major ity of its members. These will do anything he desires. In mass meet ing at Cooper Union under the auspices of the Peoples institute residents of this city demanded that home rule in excise and all other matters be more freely given by the state authorities.
