At Montgomery.

Montgomery, Ala, April 6.-The score was 13 to z in favor of the New York Nationals at the close of yesterdays game with the local Southern league club. Although the visitors were outplayed and outbatted for the first five innings, in the sixth they began to get busy and scored runs in cluster, which broke up the ambitious efforts of the Montgomery boys and let the New Workers walk off with the victory. The batting of Bresnahan, Dunn and Wiltz were features of the game. The score:

AN INDIAN wREsTLER.

It is said that Two Feathers, the worlds greatest Indian wrestler, is on the trail of European wrestlers, now that he has taken the scalps of the paleface strong men of the Pacific coast Two Feathers is thinking about going over the big water to try fall with Hackensehmidt. the German. Two Feathers has a hunch. 1t has been suggested that his name would tickle the Germans to death. Two Feathers is no slouch when it comes to '.heap muscles.'' He weighs 227 pounds and stands 6 feet 5 inches in his moccasins. His match with Gotch, the champion, was one of the hardest fought since the days of the big Turks. If he can't get the Ger man wrestler's scalp to bring back to his St Paul tepee he is going after Tom Jenkins in London.

At Raleigh

Raleigh, N. O.. April 6.-En route to Richmond, where they play Montre- al to-day, the New York Americans stopped off here yesterday and beat the team of the North Carolina college of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts l9 to O. The professionals made runs as they pleased, but they took things easy, as they were tired from their long jump from New Orleans. Errors and bases on balls by the collegians helped the New Works, who also hit the ball on the nose when the spirit so moved them. Conroy and GanzeI walloped out hits at great rate. The game was one of a double header, Syracuse university beating the local collegians 8 to in the first game. The score: R.H E. N. York 66oo2 2 *-19 16 { A. M. GO 0 OO0 0 0 O. o 4 IF

THE PUGILISTS.

The Champion of Holland Hammered to Pieces by Kid McCoy-He Wept Co- piousIy When Go Ended.

Philadelphia. April 6.-One of the most ridiculous things ever seen in the prize ring was the awful beating that the stripling, Kid Mccoy, gave to an alleged prizefighter from Holland named Placke here last night.
 Mccoy played with this mountain of flesh, stabbed and stung him with his vicious rights and Iefts, cutting him until the blood bathed every part of his huge bulk. The Holland champion never put a glove on the Kid. He tried, with flaiI-like swings, to reach his stinging. stahbing adversary, but he might as well have tried to dent the sunbeam. And the cruel Mccoy, mer- ciless and business-like, never let up for an instant
 The foreigner proved what was all along expected, rank counterfeit. He did not show the least fighting ability and after being made human punch ing bag for a round and a half the ref cree stopped the mill and declared Me Coy the winner. During the combat Plaeke took enough wallops to make horse succumb, and out of sheer pity and to avert tragedy the bout was ended.
 The sports were slow in coming. but by the time the men entered the ring
 
 3,000 persons present. Mccoy ruled a warm favorite The Placke admirers, and there were mighty few, did not show any disposition to back the big Dutchman. The betting was even money that Placke would not last the limit, and 21a to l that the Kid would outpoint his opponent. Placke took his chair at 10:30 o'clock. He was looked after by Tank Kenny. Owen ZiegIer, Carl Schultz and Eddie Mack. Nc Coy followed a minute later. His handlers were Billy Elmer, Tommy and Billy Shortell. The referee was Walter Schlichter.
 Placke lowered at least half foot over Mccoy. McCoy's weight was an- nounced at 165 pounds, while PIacke confessed to 235 pounds.
 Round one: Mccoy opens up with a right on the jaw Placke rushes and almost throws Mccoy with his weight. Placke misses and the Kid hooks him with right on the jaw. The Kid hooks him again. Placke misses. Placke clinches and holds the Kid. The Kid draws blood from the Dutch mans jaw. The Kid drops Placke to the floor with right on the jaw. He has Placke looking like a slaughter house. The Kid pIlts a right to the . JsW and drops PIacke to the floor. The 4Dufchman is a mass of blood. He makes feeble attempt to get mp. but the bell mercifully comes to the res cue.
 Round two: McCov opens business with a left to the jaw and drops PIaeke. Placke goes down to the ropes and starts to kcrv. At this stage Ref cree Schlich+er inferefered and award ed the decision to Mccoy. Placke was sight when he took his chair. His nose 1oked as if it was broken and he seemed to be weak. After being at tended to for five pntnutes he was able 10 leave the ring. When quiet was re- stored Mccoy announced that he was ready to meet any middlewe'oht in the world, Bob Fitzsimmons preferred.

DEATH OF A WRESTLER.

The death occurred at Brough, Westmoreland, Eng, recently of George Steadman. a famous wrestler, who had held the championship of the world in the Cumberland and Westmoreland style for over thirty years. Few wrestlers have had a longer or more successful career than Gorge Steadman. who was born at Abby on February 20, 1S46, and had therefore just completed his 4Sth year. Steadman's collection of tro- phies comprises sixty-six silver cups, fourteen belts and innumerable other articles, while he probably won more prize money than any other wrestler within memory. His wrestling weight was about 295 pounds.

Herford says this rule has not been adhered to for years, and that he does not see why Cans should do so now. Whether Cans is able to make 133 at the ringside is question. His friends say he can, but will hold out as long as possible. Cans is usually strong under these conditions and against fighter of Britt's calibre he does not intend to take any unneces- sary chances if he can help it.

 Their offices are undoubtedly the best equipped with the latest mechan- ical devices for the diagnosis and treat ment of chronic disease, including the heretofore so-called incurable diseases, cancers, tumors, etc, in the New Eng land states, and perhaps in all Ameri- ca.

given after 20 rounds of fierce and bloody battling before San Francis co club. That the winner surprised the flstic critics by making the stipu- lated weight, 130 pounds at six o'clock, and fighting strong into the bargain, goes without saying. Britt received enough punishment, according to re- ports, to stop any ordinary man during the first IT rounds of milling Then he rallied, meeting Corbett with punch for punch, and made a whirlwind fin- ish. Yet Corbett appears to have fought on doggedly to the close, and. thanks to his splendid condition, showed evidence of being able to keep up the pace for an indeterminatS period. But it is a matter of hstic his- tory that visiting boxer on the coast must either win on a clean knockout or by a tremendous margin of points in order to obtain decision over a native son on the latter's own hearth. And had the Britt-Corbett battle taken place anywhere else except in San Francisco it is more than probable that a draw would have met with the favor of the spectators. The total receipts of the battle came to the tidy sum of $33,- 900, and the division of spoils was on the following basis: Britt, $15, ,592 50; Young Corbett, $9.1575O; Hayes Valley Athletic club, $8,250. After Britt has paid all the expenses of his training season he vii! probably have round $14,00O, if not more, to add to his bank account.

 Terry McGovern's desire to meet Young Corbett for third time will be gratified. Yesterday McGovern's manager practically arranged a com test for six rounds to be decided at Philadelphia some time next month. McGovern was one of the many box CTS who challenged the winner of the recent Corbett-Britt encounter. Cor bett said before that scrap. win or lose, he would face McGovern. Had Corbett whipped Britt the probabil- ities are that the mill would have been for a longer duration, but now Me- Govern will have to be satisfied with a shorter battle.
 .sIf McGovern thinks I am not q six round fighter" said Corbett yester- day, ''he will be much mistaken. I can fight just as fast for six rounds as can for twenty. I have knocked him out on two occasions, and when we meet again hope to put him away before the sixth. You can paste that in your hat as a prediction"
