THE PUGILlST
FIGHT TO FINISH
New Britain Lad Puts the Dope to a Bridgeport Boy-The Game
 as It is Going On.

In the twenty ninth round of what was to have been finish fight Willie Murphy of New Britain whipped Jim mic Clancy of Bridgeport Thursday night. The boys fought for Sl0O side bet before select crowd of sports on the outskirts of Berlin. Clancy was a 10 to 6 favorite when they en- tered the ring and Clancy money went begging. There was no Murphy mon ey in sight. Murphy is 17 years old and is tall for his age. He didn't look as if he weighed over loo pounds. But as fighter he showed he was the goods. Clancy is short and stocky, with a good wallop and he never knows when he has enough. When the bell sounded Clancy did not lose any time and had Murphy on the floor inside of a minute. Murphy was up again, but Clancy put him down for the third time when the bell sounded. Murphy fought more cautiously there after. Up to the eighteenth round it was Clancy's fight. In the nineteenth Murphy took brace and fought on even terms for four rounds. In the twenty-second Murphy put Clancy down six times and from that time on it was Murphy's fight. Tn the twenty ninth Clancy went down three times and then his manager threw up the sponge and saved his man from q knockout. Murphy has claimed the 1O5-pound championship0fD&ew .abng- land. but he never had chance to show his staying qualities until Thursday night. His manager would like to make match with Jack Hig- gins

THE DIAMOND
POINTS OF INTEREST
Twenty-Five Million Admissions Be. fore the Owners Get Theirs
 Other Base Ball Talk.

John H. Farrell, secretary of the lla- tional board of the National Associa- tion of Professional Base Ball leagues, the official title of the minor leagues, which met in New York last wees, gave out some interesting information showing the hold base ball has takeE o nthe public from Maine to Califor- nia.
 Farrelrs figures show there are How thiIty-two minor leagues under the pro tetcion of the National association. These leagues have a total of 213 clubs, and employ more than 4,2O0 men, and spend upward of S60C,OOO monthly for salaries, travelling ex- penses and other necessary outlays such as rent of parks and occoutre- ments.
 Including the National and American leagues and the two independent, or so-called outlaw leagues, it has been figured that $2,577,O00 is paid out in salaries to the professional base ball players of the country. It is figured that $2,5OO,0OO is paid in other salaries and in expenses of maintaining the grounds of the clubs, about $8O0,OOO ill railroad fares, about $125,0OO in train ing expenses and possibly S5OO,OOO ill additional expenses. .r
 This means that approximately '25,- O0O,OOO paid admissions must be re- ceived before the clubs owners can break even in their investments.

BROUTHERS IN TROUBLE.

k Patrick nane, Thomas Mccarthy, Joseph Lake. Charles Kloopmann and Charles Ochs! Will anybody knowing the addresses of these base ball play CTS kindly communicate with Dan Brouthers, owner and manager of the Newburg club of the Hudson River league? '>.
 Dan Brouthers, who, next to Jim O'Rourke, has played base ball longer than any man in the world, is in trou- ble. Brouthers played in the Hudson River league last season and used his trusty wagon tongue bat so well that he led the league in batting. as in three different years he did the Ma tional league/ &..A-S7
 Last fall Brouthers decided to osfollow the example of his old side partner, Jim O'Rourke, and become a magnate. The franchise of the Newburg club was offered to Dan and he bought it. There is where the great slugger's troubles come in.
 According to base ball law clubs must send contracts to reserved play CTS by March 1. When Dan looked over his list Of reserved men the other day he found the men from whom he bought the club had failed to note the addresses of the players.
 < Brouthers's address is Wappinger $ Fhlis, x. Y.s, of which town Dan is b long odds the leading citizen.

tests which will be given on that even- ing There is more interest taken in that match between John F. Kelly of this city and Kid kehoe of New York than there would be if Tom Jenkins and Fred Beell were to meet. The ac- commodations are of course limited and the first come will be the first served. The tickets are now on sale and can be procured by making appli- cation to Manager Joe Lawlor of the Simonsville Athletic club or N to the sporting writer of this paper. As for the wrestlers themselves, they are ready for each other and waiting anx- iusly for the sound of the bell. This anxiety is shared by the packers Of both men and it Is hard to tell which will be the, favorite in the betting. Each has been backed equally strong since the match was made and bets of S25 to $100 have been very prevalent. Bob Somerville. the challenger of New England at 13S pounds, is in Water bury assisting in the training of Kehoe. The latter is now in the pink of condition. He knows he is giving Kelly a big handicap when he allowed him to weigh 145 pounds at the ring side, but he has no fear of the result.
 Kelly is more confident of winning this match than he ever was of any match he took park in. His old nerve has come back to him and lie feels just as agile and energetic as lie did back in the days when he was throwing them all. That he will he put 10 his best efforts he does not doubt. for al- though there is an air of mystery about Kehoe and his ability. he feels that some of the packers of the New York CT believe they have ringer who will trim Kelly to a standstill. Time will tell that story, says Kelly. The pre- liminary between Blondin and Robil- lard for the championship of the city at 1f1 pounds will he a good appetizer for what is to follow.

PLAY BALL FOR MONEY.

Ithaca, Feb 19.-Cornell is on the verge of another radical change in her athletic policy, according to Phy- slcal Director C. Y. F. Young. The committee on student organizations. through which all the varsity teams are regulated, is said to be unani- mously in favor of barring first year men from competition for varsity teams and of limiting a varsity mans activity to three years. The commit tee also has considered the advisabil- ity of allowing Cornell men to piay summer baseball for money with all teams not connected with regular professional league. The sentiment on this change is not so decided, how ever, as upon the other two. Sevcrai universities have been approached on the matter, and if any of the big six can be induced to join with Cornell the scheme will he put into practice. It is thought here that with Professor Whites influence at Harvard the Crimson can be induced to try the ex. pertinent.
