kARPF IS REELECTED 3e,- ,o,,..
 BOWLING SECRETARY

Milwaukee Feb 22.-Sharp politics yesterday characterized the American Bowling congress convention and many surprises are the result.
 Sam Karpf was reelected secretary, defeating Abe Lantry of Milwaukee. much to the surprise of even the karpf men. Philadelphia won the next tour nament instead of Louisville, which was another surprise.
 The meeting had been originally called at the Hotel Pfister. where all Lantry men went yesterday morning. At the last minute Karpf changed the meeting place to Exposition building without notifying the Lantry men. When the meeting was called to order Karpf had slight majority with scores of Lantry men absent. s'
 This ticket was then elected: Presi- dent, J. H. Haager, Louisville; secre- tary, Sam Karpf, Dayton, O.; treasurer. F. L. Pasdeloup. Chicago.
 The congress declined to continue open betting at tournament bowling. and resolution to stop Sunday bowl ing was side-tracked.
 The New York fight did not come up in convention, and the action of the executive committee in killing New York's proposition is final.
 The high scores last night follow:
 Two-men teams-Ward and McGuire, Chicago, TIT: Young and Newberry. Detroit, 1161; Shaw and Leffingwell. Chicago 114T: Midiotsky and Ketcham, Chicago. 1132.
 Five.men teams-Century No 1. Chi cago PITS; Farmers. Cleveland, 2II5; Americans, Detroit, 2731.

TUCKER AND MURPHY.

New York. Feb 22.-Probably one of the largest crowds of sporting men that has left this city to witness fistic battle in long time YiH ja,Irney to Philadelphia this afternoon on spe- cial train over the Pennsylvania rail- road to witness the six-round bout be tween "Chlck" Tucker and Tommy Murphy, which is to be fought in the arena of the National A. c. of that city. Not in long time has there been so much interest taken in a scrap be tween two local fighters as there is in this encounter. The boys are without a doubt the best pair of featherweights in this big city and, as they each have big following. it is expected that close to 800 men will be abroad the special train when it pulls out of the Pennsylvania depot The battle be tween these little fellows should be one of the fiercest seen in the Quaker city in many moons. Both are fighters pure and simple, and as they are stiff pInchers with both hands, it looks as If one of them will score a knockout before the bell rings for the finish O! the sixth round.

TWO LIVELY BOUTS.

Pugilsts met in many bouts on Monday night, and most of them were witnessed by large and enthusiastic crowds. The six round bout between Young Erne of Philadelphia, was full of ginger. Erne. however, took too many chances. and at the termination of the struggle he looked every bit the loser. Sullivan waded in relent- lessly from the outset and punched Erne without stint. The local man sprinted about the ring and indulged in all sorts of tactics to protect him. self. Many of Sullivan's punches went astray owingto Erne's evnsiveness. But when Erne stood up and fO'lgllte S,ll- livan had no trouble in getting to hlm with telling effect.
 There was plenty of excitement in the fifteen round bout between Fred Sidney and Dave Deshler at Webster. Mass. Sydney had a cOrking left hand and poked this member continually on his opponents face scoring noint after point. Once in while Deshler came back with some blows in the ribs. hut the knocks did not seem to effect Syd- rev fin the least. When Sydney was announced the winner there were ve'l' few dissenting opinions.

CUBANS PLAY BALL.

A ball player who has just returned from Cuba says of the game as played there: Prom ten to twelve thousand persons turn out twice week to see the games there. The Cubans are ex- .itable. and pandemonium breaks loose whenever the rooters have a rhance to exercise their lung power. Their league is composed of three clubs. Havana. San Francisco and AL mendares. and about two games a week are played. All the games arc played in Havana. and the grounds are larger than the Polo grounds. X hit that gets past 2 fielder is good for a home run. One peculiar thing is that the umpire has absolute control of the situation. and not even the cap- tain Is allowed to raise a rumpus over a close decision This is a good thing. for. as betting is done on every con- ceivable play. there would he riots if kicking was allowed. Mounted police. well armed. preserve order on the field. The teams come on the field with banners waving. and ca-rio- pig- cons. with colored ribbons attached to their lees are released between in- nings. There are some pretty shifty players among the natives. hut they do not. as a rule class with the Amer ican ball tcssers."

Manager McGraw of the New York Nationais evidently expects to win the pennant again.

He Has Not Retired and

Ed Slater was seen this morning in reference to report in this column relative to his base ball arrangements and he had the following to say. He was not fully in accord with the new management of the Holyoke club and he therefore asked for his release: This was granted him internationally. He has not decided to play with Concord, nor has he made any arrangements for the next season. He has not re tired either and will be seen in the game this season with some good team. Ed played good base ball last season and, in fact, for many past seasons, and he is worth a whole lot of the al legged ball players in this league to- day. There is no fear but what some one will take hold of him before many weeks have passed,

THE PUGILISTS.
WHY NELSON
 IS FAV0RITE,
He Earned That Much By - Defeating Corbett-Figh
 ing Stopped in Brockton-
 Some Good Battles

The Frisco sports have made Nelson the favorite in the coming battle against Young Corbett. Every man he has fought up to date has been favorite over him. Will this fact act as hoodoo?
 The fighting he has done in Frisco warrants nothing else than to make him favorite. His showing against Corbett in their last battle was some thing so strong that all who watched that battle can't help but look for him to win awain.
 In the face of this, however. re- mains the fact that Young COrbett has never fought man a second time that he did not defeat him. Will the little Denverite keep up that record in the coming battle? Many of his friends hope to see him duplicate his perform ance against Kid Broad, Benny Yan- ger. Dago Mike, Terry McGovern and others.
 That Nelson will prove foeman worthy of his steel goes without say ing, and also that he better be In the best condition of his life. Nelson Is a boy who takes care of himself and Is fit to fight at almost any time. This, too, in face of the stories hat have come E from Frisco about his heavy weight. Letters from Corbett's brother. Jim- my Rothwell, state that the kid has worked hard ever since they made San Rafael their abiding place. If all this is rue, then the Frisco sports are going to witness great battle when these 1 fellows clash.
 Taking everything into consideration there is no good reason at all why Nei' son should not be the favorite in the coming bout. His performances speak for themselves and he has always made good.

THE SPORTING NEWS.
GOSSIP ABOUT THE
 HORSES AND JOCKEYS

Many valuable stakes to be run at the Saratoga meeting will close on March 6. They include the $1O,OOO Saratoga handicap, at one mile and quarter; the $7,500 Saratoga cup, at che mile and three-quarters; the $3,OOO Merchants and Citizens handicap, at one mile and three-sixteenths; the $3,. 900 Champlain handicap, at one mile and a furlong; the $5,O00 Saranac handicap, for 3-year-olds, at one mile and furlong; the Saratoga special, fol 2-year-olds, at five and half furlOnSs. usually worth nearly $2C,OO0; the $5,- GOO Adirondack handicap, for 2-year- oldsS at six furlongs, and others of less importance. It is expected that the steeplechases at the Spa this year will be up to the highest standard.
 An odd side line feature of the trou- bles between the Western Jockey club and the American Turf association is iE the position that the New Memphis Jockey club will be called upon to as sume when racing begins there. Cap tain s. $. Brown, the Pittsburg million aire, is one of the largest stockholders in the club. The New Memphis Jockey club has announced that the Western Jockey club rules will govern the spring meeting, which means that all but stake entries of one of the largest stockholders will be rejected if offered. Captain Brown has already allied him. self with the American Turf. associa- tion by accepting place on the board of appeals.
 The subscription started by Joe Yeaker, Ed Stutte, Otto Wonderly and "Whitey" Langdon for the mother of Jockey Wenrick, who was killed at Hot Springs recently, will probably amount to about $2,OOO. All of the horsemen at the Springs have con- tributed.
 Jockey Sperling has been guilty of so much rough riding at Oakland Park of late that Judge Buck has threatened him with suspension for the rest of the meeting if he offends again. Sperling. by the way, has developed into good jockey this winter, and will come east in general demand. He has been the star jockey at both of the Hot Springs tracks.
 Jockey S. Dickson, who will ride for William K. Vanderbilt in France this year, sailed for Europe on the Kron. prinz yesterday. Dickson is regarded as one of the best lightweight jocke. | in this country. He is 16 years old can, make S5 pounds and handles his mounts in veteran style. At Essex park. Hot Springs, he stood second to Sperllng, with 13 winners, 9 seconds and thirds. out of 59 mounts. Dick son was "discovered' by Joseph A Murphy, the well known racing official
 who saw him ride at St Louis last sum mer.
 Frank J. Bryan, the presiding stew ard at the Crescent City track, New
 Orleans, will probably succeed Judg'
 Murphy at St Louis. Bryan is west
 ern jockey club adherent and will no
 officiate at Louisville this year.

IN CANNON SCRAP.
Freshmen Get the Cannon on the

Middletown, Feb 22.-AbOut ninety freshmen covered themselves with glory and snow this morh- ing and won the annual cannon rush from the sophomores. The vic tory was Ot easily won. however, and took the aid of three-fourths of Mid dletown's fire department, the em- ployes in livery stable and the liberal use of stream of water from an or dinaly fire hose before the victory was awarded.
 Long before midnight the sophs had gathered on the campus and wired and blockaded all roads leading to the co., leg.e Mounted scouts were also placed at intervals along the principal streets to give warning of the ap. proach of teams or sleighs bearing the cannon.
 About quarter past twelve the top story of old south college was noticed to be ablaze with red lights. Shortly after an alarm of fire was turned in by the freshmen from box near the campus. The sophomOres thought the alarm was a fake the freshmen were working. but kept sharp lookout. Soon after hose wagons from three different companies came toiling up the street. As they neared the cam pus n sled drawn by six horses and having the Douglas gun on it dashed out of side street and fell in back of the hose wagon.
 As it neared the campus the process sion increased its speed and dashed down High street at stiff pace. The sonhs tried their best to stop their ad- vance. but the freshmen lashed the horses and drove over the sidewalk on to the campus and then overturned the cannon onto the snow For the next % minutes there was the hardest kind of fighting over the cannon.
 : Men were piled on and around if five | or six deep and it was impossible to | budge the gun. After half hour of this sort of scrappinc the committee composed of seniors and juniors o. dered the mass nf humanity off the | gun and awarded the scrap to the frpshmen. It afterwards turned ont that the chief of the fire departnrant and the firemen knew of the ruse the freshmen world work and had agreed to work in leacrra with them.

WATERING BIG CAME
WHAT GOVERNMENT DOES TO
 PROTECT ITS WILD ANIMALS.
Elk, Deer, Wild Boars and Other Game on the Extensive Pre- serves Are Fed Reg
 ularly.

Last week We took look at tho C1rbin game preserve near Newport, N. H., and saw how the largest herd of buffaloes in the world was cared for during the winter months. The successful management of this rapid ly increasing herd is, of course, a mat ter of national importance; and the most important effort being made at the present time in the interest of American big game is the effort direct ed towards the permanent preserva- tion of this and the few remaining herds of buffalo by the federal govern ment.
 But there are many other wild crea- lures in Corbin park which need more or less attention during the winter. There are elk and deer and wild boar by hundreds, and moose, nobody knows how many, since they usually remain deep in the woods, and show themselves only at rare intervals. Next to the buffaloes, the wild boar are the first animals requiring the at- tention of the superintendent. In the spring, summer and autumn, these viz orous creatures get their own living chiefly by roofing in the ground. but when the earth is frozen hard as iron, and covered with snow besides, root Ing is out of the question. The boar are fed upon whole corn, which, in the fall, is stored away in old deserted houses and barns, or in huge feed boxes made on purpose. in different sections of the forest. Each of these sections Is in charge of man whose business it is to see that all the game In his territory have food enough to { keep them in good condition. First of all, he selects one or more places for feeding-grounds, and here he scatters his corn. But wild boar are shy crea- lures, and it is the mans duty to see to it that all the boar in his section are regularly visiting the feeding grounds He must tramp over hill and dale, and through the dense woodland, anG learn where the different colonies ol
 boar are nesting. Then he must show
 them the way to the feeding-groun
 by laying trails of corn, sometimes fol
 a mile or more, leading to one of thu
