THE PUGlLlSTS
MANY SPEEDY
 FIGHTS THIS WEEK
Philadelphia the Mecca of the Pugilists Lewis Off For the West.

Philadelphia, June 24.-'.They're off, to good start here in the Qua ker City. Boxing has begun to hum and some. great matches have already been made, with others ready to be plucked by enterprising managers.
 The National has the field to itself just at present, but if Dame Rumor is to be believed there will be others in the hunt before long.
 Here are the cards for the near future. any one of which should make a fight fans eyes water for the sights to come:
 Monday. June 25.-Tommy Mur- phy. of New York, vs Spike Robson, of England.
 Friday, June 29-Joe Cans. of Bal timore, vs Jack Blackburn, of this city.
 Monday. July 16-Philadelphia Jack O'Brien vs Sam Berger. of San Francisco.
 This list includes the feather weights. lightweights ia little heavy perhaps for this class) and heavy weights. No one could ask for more. especially as there is a champion in each event. Robson claims the 126- pound championship of England: no | one will question Cans right to the lightweight title, provided Joe can do 133 pounds. and O'Brien is the light heavyweight titleholder.

The game was called at the beginning of the eighth inning on account of rain. Duffy of Worcester. Mass. was in the box for the visitors and was touched up for eight hits with total of ten.

Syracuse was ten lengths in front of Wisconsin, with Columbia four lengths farther in the rear and Georgetown bringing up the rear. Between Cornell. Syracuse and Pennsylvania the race was . stiR one throughout. After two of the four miles of the course had been covered Syracuse spurted to almost even terms with Cornell. Doggedly they tried to hold level with the fast flying Itha- cans. and it was this early struggle which caused the men in the orange boat to fail just at the last moment when Pennsylvania challenged.
