THE SPORTING NEWS.

when he meets Abrahim Kazzi, the Turkish champion, oil the mat at the Grand Central Palace, New York, next Tuesday night, and is confident of win ming.
 The rough work the champion has indulged in with the Princeton college students has greatly increased his strength and powers of endurance, and he is determined to lead i'll the attack, instead of wrestling on the defensive, knowing that the Turk must weigh in at 138 pounds.
 A big delegation from all the leading colleges will be in evidence at the ring side to witness the struggle, and also the Tigers football and base ball teams, with n brand new college yell. to cheer Bothner and encourage him to extend himself to the limit and uphold the honor of the college, where he is now instructor.
 Harvey Parker writes that he will be at the ringside the night of the coll- test and will challenge the winner. He will wrestle for any part of $1,OO0 & side at 13S or 130 pounds. He says he will meet any wrestler at that weight, but prefers the winner of the Bothner- KaZZi match.
 Fred Beell will be with Parker, ant. he also expresses his willingness to meet anybody at any weight.

AND A,RouT BATTLING.

Billy Nolan, manager of Battling Nelson, writes as follows about his protege. There has been much writ ten about Nelson having . hard time making the weight, when as fact it was the McGovern side that insisted that the notch be 133 instead of 130. Nelson can easily make 129 pounds, and he has only engaged in two battles in his life where the weight was over I3O. and those battles were with Jim my Britt. who insisted on such terms. Battling Nelson can easily scale as low weight, if not lower. than the Terry McGovern of today. This will be the most even match, as far as poundage goes, that has been arranged in some time. On Tuesday aftgnoon we will walk to Huntingdon, dis tance of ten miles from our present headquarters. and catch the evening train for Philadelphia. On our arrival in the latter place we arc going to try and locate suitable training quarters. If we are not successful we will take the evening train for New York and train at sheepshead Bay. as we have several places offered to us that will suit very nicely"

 In the third round, however, Dohan got wise and, wading in, pounded Straub with right and left swings. There was swift mix-up in this round and number of stinging exchanges. Dohan's superior showing in this round made matters even.
 Austin Rice and Jack Lowery fought A swift draw. After sparring careful ly for about minute the "old war hurse,' as Rice is called, sailed in and pounded his younger opponent all about the ring. Lowery, however, stood his ground and made such an ex- ceIlent showing that honors were con sidered even.
 Kid Fisher and Joe Wagner fought a lively draw. Young Conlin was knocked won several times in his three rounds with Ross Terren. Willie Schumaker, had shade the better of Charley Goldman. Jack Frazier easily won from Jack Asher. Frazier was much lighter, but he was much clever CT and hit Asher when and where he pleased.
 It was announced that Abe Attell will fight Young Donohue of Boston at the Paddock club Tuesday evening. This should be an exciting fight. as the boys are said to follow similar tao tics to great extent. This will proba- bly be the last three-round battle that sAttell will fight in New York, as he leaves shortly for the coast.

yorNG ERNE LOST.

Philadelphia. Feb 2s.-Young Erne made hls first appearance in the ring since his defeat three weeks ago by Jimmy Gardner of Boston in the wind- up Monday night with Charley Seiger of New York and lost by small mar gin. Before the third round had ended Erne was tired. and in that round held on. selger. a stranger 10 the specta- tors. was equally as clever as Erne and. was possessed of a much harder punrh. A right hand swing which he landed on Erne's jaw twice appeared fo have strength enough behind it to have separated the local boys head from his shoulders. One of these blows which reached Erne squsreIy on the point of the jaw st the beginning of the third round nearly robbed him of bis fighting spirit.

City Amateur League Did Not Ma. terialize Last Night a. Two
 Were Absent.

The City Amateur Baseball league did not complete it's organization for the coming season at the meeting held in the St Joseph rooms last evening. There were but four teams out of the six represented, as follows: Washing ton Hills by Phil Kelly, Brooklyn Ath- letic club by Walter Legge, St Jo- sephs by William Guilfoile, and the Merrimacs by John Hayes. The Pas times and the North Ends failed to send representatives, and while the four managers according to the rules could have transacted business, tllry decided to wait until q conference was had with the two teams not represent ed and see whether they were going to form part of the league this sea- son. X committee consisting of Phil Kelly and John Hayes was appointed to interview the managers of those teams and find out positively whether they would be ill the league or not

 seek admission are the Go G. Big Sev-

 opening of the season.
 It is almost certain that the North Ends will not be ill the league this year and rllmors have been rife in the past few. days that the Pastiues | would not be in the race.

ABoUT TERRIBLE TERRY.

Terry McGovern Is putting in some hard work at his quarters in Jerome avenue in preparation for his six-round mill with Battling Nelson. McGovern has been looked over by many sporting men, who are convinced that he will be in rare form, and will come near having good bet on him when he climbs into the ring on March IA. Terry has much of his old speed. as far as boxing goes, and seems as strong as bull. None of his practice bouts, which are hot affairs, exceeds six rounds. and Terry can go that route HOW like greased lightning.

for worlds champion when the two clashed in Boston, Munroe winning with ease. That was Limerick's last ring battle.
 Recently Limerick assumed charge of gang of men at the Gould Coupling Works. The men have had trouble, and Limerick believes it was one of the strikers who dashed the car bolic acid in his face. Limerick was proceeding along West Huron street early Moaday night when a small man with a slouch hat pulled over his eyes dashed out from building and threw the acid at Limerick, striking him full in the face.
 Alternately crawling on his hands and knees and staggering blindly against buildings, Limerick made his way for two blocks, when pedestrians aided him to doctors office. The physicians fear Limerick will never be able to see again.
