A Good Fight.

There seems TO be great deal of
contention here concerning the ma
tionality of Kid Murphy, the bantam
champion of the world, who will box
Jimmy Farren, the champion of the
South before the Lexington Athletic
club at the Colonial Theatre on De-
cember 81. The following is vouched
for through his manager, Joe Barrett :
Murphy was BON in Trenton, n.
j., May 2, 1886, of Italian parents,
his real name being Peter Trascella.
With his parents he moved TO New
York when young and grew up as a
newsboy in the neighborhood of what
is known as the Five Points, which is
thickly settled by Italians. Among
his newsboy friends Murphy, although
a midget was respected by all owing
TO his fighting abilities. The kid
always believed in fair play and many

to be told of it tomorrow, but the news
papers of Baltimore gave the secret
away yesterday. The brides mother

BASKET BALL. INAUGURATED.
First Game al Naval Academy Saturday
Night.

The game of basketball was inaug-
urated as regular sport at the Naval
Academy by a fast and interesting
game in the Armory on Saturday night
between two picked teams of
midshipmen. The Blacks under
Captain Norton, won by a score of is
TO IL over. the whites, who were
captained by Manager Holden. The
game was spirited and skillful from
the start and there is no QUESTION
that the game made itself popular
in one bound and Will become one of
the regular sports of the institution.
Midshipman McKittrick. the man
ager of the baseball nine, played
for the Whites and proved himself an
excellent player. He had the honor
of making the first score ever made
in match game at the Academy,
throwing a clean goal after a foul.
McKittrick made all of these attempts
for his side, as did Norton for the
the Blacks, and the players showed
great precision.
The Whites started of like W in
ners and ran up n small lead which
they kept until toward the close Of
she first half. Shortly before the half
ended, the Blacks did some fast work
and the half ended to 5 in favor of
the latter. In the second half, the
Blacks showed rather faster team
work and great accuracy in shooting
for goal and ran the score up a little,
though their :opponents kept right
behind them all the time. Al times,
both sides showed excellent team
work, the finest exhibition of the
game resulting in goal shot by w.
A. Richardson after some clever
passing between himself and McKit-
trick.
The teams lineup was as follows:
Blacks McIlittrick and Holden (c)
forwards, Vanderhoof, center; Richard
son, w. A., and Richardson, w. n.
guards.
Whites -Manock, Sheibla and Alb
bett forwards Green, center; Norton
tel and Stephenson, guards.
Midshipman Laird acted as referee
and announcer.
A large audience was present. in
cluding Admiral James Ill. Sands,
SUPERINTENDENT of the Academy; Capt.
Geo. u. ColVocoresses, ,commandant of
midshipmen and Com. L. b. Howard,
head of the department of ordnance
and gunnery and chairman of of the
executive committee of the Navy Ath-
letic Association.
The game of basket ball, which is
now in Annapolis, is n clean and
spirited sport. Though free from un-
necessary roughness, it is full of
movement and interest and there are
no slow moments during the contest.
Two halves of twenty mintues each
are played and there is an intermis-
sion of ten minutes. The players are
continually on the move during the
whole of the playing. A goal thrown
during actual play counts two points
and after any kind of a foul a free
throw is allowed, which, if thrown
into the basket or goal counts one

Punishment Mitigated.

Midshipman Henry Hall Porter of
the second class. Naval Academy has
been dropped back from the second
into the third class of midshipmen nt
the recommendation of the Secretary
of the Navy.
Some weeks ago young Porter was
recommended to be dismissed from
the institute 2u by Rear-Admiral Sands
superintendent, on account of alleged
misconduct, but after lengthy con
sideration IL was decided TO mitigate
the punishment.
The recommendation by Rear Ad-
miral Sands was made in accordance
with the Anti-Ilazing act, passed at
the last session of Congress, which
gives the superintendent power 10

men as the circumstances of the OF
ense warrant.
