Washington Won One Fight and Lost
One to Baltimore.

The Washington boys acquitted them
selves creditably In their sparring~contests

A most sensational and unsatlsfac actory
ending marked the contest between Tip

Ing the close OF the ninth round Lowe was
given the verdict on a fowl blow, which
was deliberately delivered low. Lowe was
the winner. however. from the start. He
was all over Tipman at all proceedings,
Lowe displayed a wicked left jab which
caused Tipman intense uneasiness through
out. while in the fourth round Lowe shifted
his right TO Joe's Jaw, sending him to the
floor
During the latter stages of the battle
Tipman looked to be on his last pegs and
the finish was looked for at any moment
In Lowe the Baltimorean stacked up
against clever boy who could get out of
his attacks to perfection. Joe tried his
favorfte left jab, but was unsuccessful in
getting away with 1t. as when he led the

Swigert had his troubles. The boys agreed

limit OF ten rounds was properly declared

looked to have outpointed his man. He had
weight and reach over Lewis The de-
cision was not a bad one, though, as Lewis
put up good go. He was the aggressor
throughout. At that Harry gave Lewis a
good lacfng. He cut his eye with terrific
waliop in the opening round. Lewis also

WHY CHANGE IN
RULES WAS OPPOSED

CLEVELAND, Ohio. February IA pri-
vate dispatch from New York says:
1T has leaked out that at the recent
meeting of the joint rules committee of the
American and National leagues, the Ma
tional League members, HanlOn and Drey-
fuss made a most peculiar admission in
advocating the retention of the foul strike
rule. They said we have three hopelessly
weak teams in our league; with the aid
of the foul strike rule they are able TO
hold the stronger teams down to low
scores.
Without the foul strike rule they would
be completely outcIassed and high scores
would lie run up against them. thus killing
the game in the towns in question, as
against teams Ike the Giants, Pirates Phil
lies and Cubs these teams would look like
amateurs without the foul strike to help
their pitcners, for the teams mentioned
have the htters.'
While they did not specify just which
teams they were, St. Louis Brooklyn and
Boston were undoubtedly meant.

TO CHALLENGE FOR
THE DAVIS TENNIS CUP

NEW YORK, February IA meeting of
the challenge committee of the National
Lawn Tennis Association was held yester-
day at the office of Frederick G. Anderson,
at G6 Broadway. Raymond ID. Little was
present, and DR.. James Dwight acted from
Boston by telegraph. Following the meet
ing Mr.. Anderson said that the formal
challenge for the Davis Cup, now held by
Great Britain, would be sent by the United
States National Lawn Tennis Association
on the date required, March 1, and that it
was the intention of the association to
raise 5000 by subscription among the
clubs and followers Of lawn tennis to de-
fray the expense OF the challenging team
The Kings County Lawn Tennis Club of
Brooklyn made the first subscription yes
terday of 500. and it is thought that the
other clubs in the metropolitan district will
contribute at least one-half the necessary
amount
Mr.. Anderson pointed out that last year
the team that endeavored to wrest the
Dwight F. Davis Cup from the Britons
only accepted their steamer tickets from
the association. The majority OF the lawn
tennis men believe that the association
should defray all legitimate expenses of the
challenging team. and that the successful
issue OF regaining the American trophy,
which represents the lawn tennis champion
ship of the world. can only be attained by
placing the burden upon the players of
this country. Mr.. Anderson said further:
1T Is easy for the players to say send a
team by all means, and that We must have
the cup, but 1t Is Inc opinion OF the COM
mittee that 1t Is too much to ask of the
men on the team to bear their expenses,
give two or three months to practice, and
lose the benefit accruing from business. In
addition to the subscriptions the national
association VIII do it's share toward the ex-
penses All OF the prominent lawn tennis
or tions In the country will no doubt
contribute TO the fund, which. 1t is thought,
can be easily raised.
The committee decided that the fund be
closed as soon the amount required Is
subscribed Frederick G. Anderson was ap-
pointed the treasurer of the fund. and en-
powered to receive the subscriptions at his
office 66 Broadway. A number of the rank
ing players have been asked to compete for
places on the team. and the list of accept
ances will be made known next week.

May Play Ball for Money.

ITHACA, y. y, February 1T.-Coruen is
on the verge of another radical change in
her athletic policy. according to Physical
Director c. V. f. Young. The committee
on student organizations, through which all
the varsity teams are regulated, IS said to
be unanimously in favor of barring first
year men from competition for varsity
teams and of limiting a varsity mans ac-
tivity to three years. The committee also
has considered the adViSability of allowing
Cornell men to play summer base bail for
money with all teams not connected with
regular professional league The sentiment
on this change is not so decided however
as upon the other two. Several universities
nave been approached on the matter, and If
any OF the big six can be induced to Join
with Cornell the scheme will be put into
practice. 1t is thought here that with Prof
whites influence at Harvard the Crimson
can be induced 70 try the eXperiment.

The "Atom" Is No More.
the London Telegraph.

From the London Telegraph.
How hard it is to be prophetic. One of
the finest things Clerk Maxwell ever ut
tered was in praise of the indestructbility
of the atom. Again and again 1t has been
quoted. Worlds might clash said the great
physicist. but the atom of hydrogen or oxy-
gen would be eternally the same, change
less in quality or in number. The British
Association was carried away by the ora
tory, and no one doubted its validity. Lo!
forty years have gone, and the indestruct-
ible atom Is no more. Maxwell was some
thing OF waggish poet. and he would have
enjoyed as much as others the verses which
Sir William Ramsay sent to the Chemical
Laboratory dinner at University College,
on the Death Knell of the Atom" Among
other things. said the discoverer of hetium:
THUS the atoms in turn We now clearly discern
Fly to bits with the utmost facility
They wend their way and in splitting display
An absolute lack of stability"
Such has been the effect Of the discovery
of radium.

Bear Raids a Camp.

A bear of unusual size terrorized a camp of 200 laborers employed by the American Pipe Line company on a reservoir for the Pennsylvania rail road, four miles west of Duncansville. Pa.
 For an hour the animal wandered about the camp, and, while the men were armed, they were afraid to leave their shanties to meet him in open combat.
 Dogs aroused the sleepers, and Gull len Webster, clerk, awoke to find the bear looking in at his window. After wandering around an hour Bruin ambled past James Coyle's win dow, and he shot him.
