But ! can hurt him. and will if we ever fight again, and I hope that will be soon. He used his head unfairly, and if the referee had separated us, as I believe he should have done, could have hit him when and where wanted to hit him, and I would have dropped him too.

There were many stipulations in this fight, but in the next one there will be one on putting which must be enforced.

NEW YORK FIGHTS.

Young Otto last night added an- other victim to his long knockout list. He smashed and uppercut Mike Moran at will during three rounds at the Central Athletic club, and only the kindness of the timekeeper saved the latter from going to sleep ip. the third round. The time was cut to two minutes and twenty sec onds. q,
 The other seven three round bouts were tame affairs. Fred Emkins and Fred Lucas amused the crowd.
 Tom Kerner outpointed Charles Hoffman after a tame exhibition. Charles Goldman and Young Frenchy fought a draw. Joe Sheri- dan and Jack Daily were so evenly matched that there was little differ ence. Austin Rice, the Rip Van Win kle of the roped arena, put up an in- teresting three round bout to draw with Howard Smith.

THE NEW STAND.

Freney & Jackson, the architects for the Waterbury grandstand. ex- amined the grandstands in Hart ford, Springfield and New London before they made tlfer plans for rrhe new stand in Waterbury. The Wa terbury stand will be more luxurious than anything in the stand line in New England. Directly opposite the plate there will be orchestra chairs and in the front row there will be eight seats and desks reserved for the press. Under the stand there will be dressing rooms for the home and visiting teams, each equipped with shower baths and other conven- fences. At the Hartford park the visiting team has to dress in the caretaker's room. According to the architects the New London accommo- dations will be second to Water- bury, Springfield is third and the other cities are not mentioned, al- though Holyoke claims that it's stand is as good as any. A new lock will have to be placed upon the tool chest in the press box at the . Hartford stand as last season a paper of hon. est long cut was stolen from the box.-Hartford Courant.

SOME POLO NOTES.

Phil Jason. signed as first rush of the Brocktons for the season, weighs 115 pounds. can skate fast, is clever with the stick and plays a heady game. He is brother of Louis Ja- son. formerly half-back of the Brock tons.
 Coggeshall did not come and is said to be in Hartford. Conn. Fred Jean was seen in Boston early last evening. and he said that his kit had not arrived.
 Nick McGilvary. captain and man ager of the Haverhills. weighs 175 pounds, and in some ways is the fast est poloist that has visited the local rink. He and Mercer rushed to- gether on the Logansport team of the Central league.
 Gus Maynard, who guarded Quin- ey's goal. will probably be put to work In the new league. Yesterday he took a position in the Lynn skat- ing rink.
 The HaverhiIIs appeared in fashy uniforms snd black. Law renee will have suits similar to those of the former Quincy team.
 Mallory is a wonder in the cage. and during his last week in the Central league had forty stops in one period Bobby Weimert in Brock tons goal played a very fast game. and his manner of playing was liked by the fansL

THE DIAMOND
D0NLIN HAS TAKEN BIT IN HIS
 TEETH.
Clever Player of New York Nationals Has Been Suspended by the
 Manager.

Memphis, Tenn, March 15.-Man- ager McGraw of the New York Giants has suspended Mike ,ssDonlin, ,as the famous center fielder. McGraw an nounced Tuesday night that he had suspended Donlin indefinitely for not acting according to his instructions on the training trip.
 McGraw called meeting of the players few days ago which, he said, was for Donlin's benefit partic- ularly, as Donlin was not getting himself in the shape he thought he should.
 T have put up with good many things with Donlin," said McGraw, "and have done everything in my power to keep the player in condi- tion. In my mind Donlin is one of the best ball players in the game to- day in the field and at the bat. He proved this to the public by his play ing for the pennant and the worlds championship series. I mean busi- ness this time and will go the limit"
 Donlin had nothing to say. There was a rumor that Donlin was going to jump to the outlaw league, but this is not taken seriously.

POLO
NEW LEAGUE OPENED THE
 SEASON MONDAY.
Many Familiar Players Are on the
 Roster of Teams.

Brockton. Mass, March 15.-The opening game in the Eastern league polo series here was good one. Brockton won a livelys game from Haverhill five the other night at the Palace ring, to 8, and the style in which the artists recently from the Central league of the west handled the curved wood was revelation to many in the large crowd. Because of late trains, accidents and misun- derstandings two of the Haverhill team did not appear, and Billy Me Gunnigle and Fred Reagan, local boys. formerly of the Quincy team, filled in. The game was easily the fastest of the year, and greatly su- perior to the previous games of the New England league series. The line up and summary: .-t

900. The men fought under straight Marquis of Queensbery rules-to punch away until ordered to break by the referee.
 Among the leading New Workers seat ed close to the ring was Harry Payne Whitney, while John W. Gates and John A. Drake occupied seats only a few feet away. ,.....s. ..-.
 Both men were trained to the hour and were as fit as their careful train CTS could possibly make them. For mer pugilistic celebrities were seated about the ring-Tom Sharkey, Jacl, McAuliffe, Brooklyn Jimmy" Carroll, George Considine, John Considine, Tom O'Rourke, Paddy Roche and Mark Mayer.
 The men were to receive 75 per cent of the receipts, of which 45 per cent was to go to Nelson, win or lose. There was considerable betting on the bout, with Nelson a slight favorite.
 McGovern's handlers were Terry Lee, Charley Mayhood, Joe Humph- reys, Johnny Burdick and Sam Har- ris. Nelson was looked after by Billy Nolan, Eddie Kelly, Hughs A eM ahon, Kid Abel and George Gardner.
 Nolan and Humphreys were the only seconds permitted to acknow- ledge defeat by entering the ring or throwing up the sponge. At exactly 10 o'clock pair of scales was brought into the ring for the men to weigh. A moment later a wild cheer greeted Nelson. He climbed through the ropes, wearing a long bathrobe, and sat down quietly while an even greater demonstration went up when McGovern jumped into the ring, wearing an overcoat. The boys shook hands cordially and smiled pleasantly as the cheers continued.
 Nelson wore tan colored fighting shoes while McGovern had on black ones. Both stripped to the bun in fine shape and the crowd looked on in admiration. The Dane in bare feet got on the scales first. He tip ped the beam under 133 pounds. Then McGovern got on the weighing machine in his stockings. He did not move the beam, which was placed at the lightweight limit. It was said that both weighed about 132 pounds.
 McGuigan. the referee, carried a stop watch and wore a blue sweater with a diamond headlight in his tie. When the cameras had done their work the men were called to the center of the ring to receive final in-

NELSON PRAISES TERRY.

One more round and I would have had McGovern out. He is mine if we ever go further than six rounds, and now that know I can do it, six rounds will be long enough next time. He. is a clever fellow and has a punch. I felt two of them. They jarred my head, but all the blows he struck did not send me back an inch. Why, was just beginning to fight good when the end of the sixth round came, and in another three minutes l would have knocked him out. was neither tired nor hurt at the end of the fight, and of course was not in a position to judge we'll of McGovern's condition, but my man. ager, Nolan, tells me that had him going. thought had him going in the fifth and again in the sixth and tried to put it over on him, but he ducked the swings and wabbled away from the jabs I had him hold ing on to keep from being knocked out. I have not a scratch on me. He struck me only two good blows. and I could standAup under twenty such blows and then fight hard enough to put him out. I don't believe he is as tough a man to beat as Britt was. In fact, know he is not, and in a twenty round fight I will put him away for keeps. It may take me longer than six rounds, but I don't believe he could knock me out in sixty rounds. McGovern is a cleverer man than I thought he was, but he is not as strong as I thought. Ex- cept for speed, I am a better man than he is at every point of fight, and don't want to take any credit from him at that. He is tough one, but he has not chance with me.

TERRY,S MOTHER SAD.

Terry McGovern's mother went to the Cafe Reynard, "the Terror's" old headquarters, at Seventeenth street and Third avenue, Brooklyn, last night, to hear the ticker's report of the fight. She beamed confidently on the 1000 McGoyern rooters who packed the hall The crowd outside blocked the Third avenue cars for twenty minutes until extra police ar rived to clear the way. There was plenty of McGovern money in the crowd to cover any Nelson bets at s to 5. Even along in the battle when the odds heightened to 2 to 1 the Terror's friends snapped that up.
 Before the fight Terry's mother predicted victory for him. "He will give this Nelson what he gave Ped lar Palmer" said she. "His last words to me to-day were: Mother. if I don't win this fight I'll quit the game If my boy is the best man I want him to show it tonight"
 But after the third round the sturdy old woman huddled in her shawl and was silent. The fifth round bulletins brought the tears to her eyes and she brushed them away with her hand. After the fight was over the loyal crowd gave three cheers for Terry, but his mother said huskily.
 My boy was up once. but he lost by his own csrelessness and when a man once gets dovn it's hard to get up again I vas afraid he'd not be able to do this trick This Battling Nelson is the winner. Ivant to con gratuIate him Terry was beaten fair and square. ' hope he'll acknowIedge it. No. it's no use to talk of a tuen- ty round fight Sure. If Nelson can beat him in six what use is twsnty.'- And she went home heartbrOken-
