PIERCE REFUSED
To FIGHT CLARKE
Not Enough Money in House
Last Night.
MILLER CHASED WILSON
Substitute for Kid Lackey Quit Cold
in the Fourth Round in Match
With Miller.
MILLER CHASED WILSON

For the first time since the revival
of interest in boxing in this vicinity 4
fight which was scheduled was called
off at the last minute at clubhouse on
the Biadensburg road last night.
Bert Clarke, of this city, and Jack
Pierce. OF Baltimore, had been matched
to go fifteen rounds to a decision. but
when the visiting boxer looked over the
crowd he refused to go on, saying there
was not enough money in the house.
Pierce 0bdurate
From o'clock to nearly $50 nine local
sports who had not gone to Baltimore
TO see the Broad-Suilivau fight, stood
around, while Clarke and his seconds
tried to persuade Pierce to fight. The
Baitimorean positively refused, and
finally it was decided to start the pre-
liminary between Louis Miller, of the
Navy Yard. and Kid Lackey, OF BaIti-

Noses were counted. but Lackey was
not TO be found. and Kid Wilson. a
member of the Fierce camp. was must
cred in to go against Miller.
Even though those who had made the
diSa agreeable trip to see a good main
bout were disappointed, their disappoint-
ment was capped when these two boys
stepped into the ring and gave one of
the poorest exhibitions seen for many
moons.
Wilson False Alarm.
Wilson was distinctly a false alarm,
and as soon as Miller hit him he showed
d yellow streak about as broad as barn
door.
The boys fddled through the first
round without either doing much dam
ege, but in the second Miller went IN
10 warm things up. and raped Wilson
Z every time he could get near him. The
visitor claimed that the sailor had hit
him in the groin. but Referee Clarke
nor no one else in the arena saw it, and
the fight went on. In the third round
Miller continued to chase Wilson, giving
him a whack every once in a while.
In the fourth round Wilson quit cold.
With his arms hugging his stomach he
stood in the corner with his seconds
throwing cold water on him in the hope
that he would show some evidence OF
gameness while the referee gave him the
fatal ten

Need Football Games.

To those who have followed the ath-
letics between the universities, it is be
Iieved that Virginia's manly apology
removes the last obstacle which has
kept the universities apart for four
years and the indications are that even
: though a field and track meet and
baseball game is not arranged at once.
a football game will surely be arranged
for next fall.
This is what both universities want
and need Since the beginning of the
breach there has not been the same
spirit in athletics at either institution,
as the football game was the big event
on the athletic calendar. The contest
attracted thousands of spectators, and
when the game was played at George
town Field, practically the whole stu
dent body from Virginia would travel
to Washington to cheer it's favorItes.
The game was also a big financial
success, and both associations suffered
severely during the breach.

of Oct. 4, where he will speak on the
political issues of the day with John M.

that political gathering.
The date for the appearance of Mr..
Pattison in Stark county has not as yet
been determined, but will be announced
soon. There have been many inquiries
as to the date of the candidates ap-
pearance here, especially since his New
ark address, and there seems to be an
unusual sentiment for an early speech
from the Democratic standard bearer.

GIFT OF PH|PPS
MAY Be RECALLED
MILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF
PROPERTY DONATED TO
PUBLIC.
Allegheny City Now Insists on Collect.
ing Taxes and Donor May
Take 1t Back.

Pittsburg Pa, Sept. 26.-Henry
Phipps and the Allegheny administra-
tion have broken, and, unless the dis
agreement is patched up before Nov /,
all the property in the First ward, AL
legheny, estimated to be worth more
than million dollars, which has been
set aside for public use, will revert to
Mr.. Phipps and be improved with busi-
ness blocks. This Is the answer OIL Mr..
Phipps, multi-millionaire steel mag
nate, to the city officials on the north
side opposed to Mr.. Phipps
The announcement came this morn
ing in answer TO an inquiry as to why
the property of Mr.. Phipps was adver-
.tised for sale in the delinquent tax
list. The steel magnate has taken
firm stand and has refused to recede
from his position. He will not stand
for the demand of the city officials that
he should pay taxes amounting to ST.
1878 upon public property, and, while
there Is no chance of the property be-
ing sold for the non-payment of taxes,
there is every reason to think that the
public property will be developed for
business purposes and the Fairgrounds,
manual training schools, gymnasium
and public baths will be closed to the
public.
Mr.. Naylor, the agent of Mr. Phipps
in this city, said today:
"Mr. Phipps set the property aside
for the use of the residents of the
First ward, where he was born, as an
experiment. He did not know how the
people would take to the Fairgrounds,
the manual training school, the gym
nasium and the baths. He realized
how the boys of his day missed these
advantages and sought to supply them
as a matter of sentiment to the old
birthplace.
"All went we'll with the project, and
the officials of the city co-operated
with Mr.. Phipps in making 1t sue
cess. Then the tax assessors levied
taxes on us; we took the matter up
with the county officials first, and they
exempted the property without debate
of any kind. The matter was then laid
before the city officials, but they would
not remove the tax from the property"
The city officials feel that Mr., Phipps
is running bluff game, and the asser7
tion is made that he would never close
the baths to the public.
This much can be said, however:
The steel magnate is sincere, and as
sure as the property is not exempted
before Nov. !, it will be closed to the
public for all time.
