THE PUGILISTS
TWO BATTLES
 IN NEW HAVEN
Reports From Every Camp Where the Fighters Are Won't to
 Congregate.

New Haven, May 3.--Willie Riley of Chelsea, Mass, and Eddie McAvoy of Philadelphia fought seven rounds of a scheduled fifteen round bout be- fore the Eagle Athletic club at the Bijou theater last night. Riley had the. best of it and had McAIoy beat en when the referee stopped the fight. In the preliminary bout, Jim Murray and Willie Mango fought twelve rounds to draw.
 For six rounds in the main bout at the New York Long Acre Athletic club last night Bert Reyes withstood the rushes of Art Edmunds, and by clever lodging and ability to land left-handed swings earned a decisive victory.
 Young Corbett left last night on the midnight train for Baltimore, where he will meet Kid Sullivan tonight in a 15-round bout Corbett was accom- panied by his father and brother.
 Johnny Marto, the clever feather weight, who outclassed Lew Meyers in their fight at the Sharkey A. c. on Wednesday night, would like to get on match with Tommy Murp'>r, of Harlem, who won over Tony Bender on the same night.
 There will be no fights held in San Francisco this month, next month, or in fact any month, this year as the board of supervisors have refused to grant Jim Coffroth, the big fight pro- moter of that city, permit to hold a show inside the city limits Coffroth intends to pull off the Squires bout with either O'Brien or Burns for bis first show at Ocean View.
 Although no referee has been se- lected so far for the meeting of the Philadelphia Jack 0'Rrien, Tommy Burns fight before the Pacific Athletic club, of Los Angeles Cal, on May $, the indications are that Jim Jelfries will be asked to officiate. Both fight CTS are willing to have Jeff as the third man in the ring and as the club matchmaker. McCarey, is also willing, it is probable that the heavyweight champion will be seen as a referee again.
 Sailor Burke, the middleweigit of Brooklyn, and Willie Lewis may be matched to meet for twelve rounds before a Bridgeport club for the latter part of this month. The club has offered the boys 60 per cent of the gross receipts of the house, and Burke has accepted, and puts it up to Lewis to say whether they will fight or not. Lewis has been after match with Burke for some time. and now that a club comes forward with an offer he ought to make good ana accept it.
 Jack McQuinlan the Boston sporting man. who is in London with Sam Langford, the colored welterweight, who defeated Tiger Smith in such quick order at the National Sporting club two weeks ago, has posted for felt and issued a challenge to any man in England regardless of his weight The fighter accepting the challenge can name his own side bet, and will be accommodated, as the American fighter has made lot of friends by his fistic ability, who will back him for any amount.

ELKS LOCK HORNS
 THIS AFTERNOON
Pine Bluff Antlered Tribe Meet Little Rock Brethren at West End Park
 at 4 O'clock This Afternoon.

There will be crash that can be heard for blocks around when the Elks of Pine Bluff and Little Rock lock horns on the diamond at West End park at o'clock this afternoon. / Since they were walloped at the down-river town the local Elks have been spending sleepless nights and seeking means of obtaining revenge. With a strengthened lineup, they are confident that they will humble their Pine Bluff brethren this afternoon.
 The proceeds will go to a worthy charity, the Prevalent Relief fund, and the fact that this will be the last ball game of the season in Little Rock should be another inducement to bring out a good crowd to watch the antlered tribes engage in mora. combat Both teams will be com posed exclusively of Elks, and the Lit
 tie Rock lineup will be as follows: Percelle and Farrell, pitchers; Me- Cowan, catcher; L. Farrell, first base; T. Martin or Luncheon, second base; Jacobson, third base; Hutton, short stop; Remmel, right field; F. Croxon, left field; Topf, center field. c. Ja- cobson and Theodore Sanders will

NEGRO MURDERER

HAD CLEVER DEFENSE
Case One of Unusual Interest in Li,. coin COunty-SenatOr TOney Prob. ably Saved Negro From Gallows- Documents in Evidence,
' '-',..:.,.

Joe Price, a negro, 25 years old :.
 was sentenced to 21 years in the penitentiary by jury at Warner, Lincoln county, yesterday. He shot and killed Richard Cushing, white levee foreman on the Woods place near Warner in February, 1906. He has been in jail awaiting trial ever since the tragedy
 Price was defended by Senator H. K. Toney, of this city. Prosecut- ing Attorney w. D. Jones represen- ted the state. The case was one of the most interesting ever heard at Warner and Toney is said to have made hard fight for Price, who was believed to be near the gal lows during his trial. The jury was out three hours.
 Prices defense was that he was forced to kill Cushing to protect the wife and children of MT. Dooling who was in charge of the levee work in Lincoln county and who was ab sent when the killing occurred. The evidence showed that Cush- ing and several negroes, including Price, were in drunken fight anc when the smoke of the battle cleared away, Cushing was lying on the ground with two bullets in his abdomen. Price de- clared that Mrs. Dooling( who was alone with her children, called on him to quiet the white man, who was drunk. The shooting follow ed
 Judge Jones introduced letters, which were written by Price, while in jail, in which he planned out his defense at the trial, asking other ne- groes in jail with him to testify certain things in his behalf.
 After being shot and fatally wounded Cushing was taken to St. Vincent hospital at Little Rock. He lived only a few days. Doctor J. P. Runyan, two Sisters of Charity, from the hospital, and Undertaken Ruble, of Little Rock, were witnesses at the trial. Knott Campbell, negro, is to be tried at Warner to- day on a charge of being an access cory to the murder.

first step in that direction. Butler had been to this city and after re- turning to Cornerstone last night did not go to his home for his re- VolVer, as was customary AleXan- der had no gun on him at the time and hurried into the store to get it when the negro suddenly came up- on him with the shotgun.
 When crossquestioned by Shera Tiff rhllpot this morning. Franklin, the negro slayer of Butler, partially gave away plot, which is believed to have been laid to do harm to Alexander and the three negroes who served on the coroner's jury. He said when asked why he inquir- ed just before the shooting, "Is that MT. Alexander" that he SUD- posed that was him from descrip- tion.
 What description?" quickly in terrogated Sheriff Philpot.
 The description they--''.
 At this point Franklin would say nothing further. It is generally believed that Franklin had been to a meeting of negroes in the Cor nerstone neighborhood and that he had agreed to kill Alexander. Other facts, which have been gained by the officers, bear out this supposi- tlon. He was given a description of Alexander, having never seen him. by others. The authorities are now trying to learn who the other negroes are. It is believed that Franklin will make a full confession of the plot before nightfal.
 Constable Butler was single man. He has relatives living in Kansas. His body will probably be inferred at Cornerstone today. He was appointed constable of Bogy township some years ago by the then Governor Jeff Davis. He has always borne a good reputation and was an efficient and popular official.
 Sheriff Philpot deserves much credit for his promptness in going after criminals He has made sev- eral good captures in the past sev- eral months and in each instance has gone after them personally. For many years it has been a custom of sheriffs in this county to send de- puties after men badly wanted. Sheriff Philpot does not believe in this system. He used his cool head this morning and succeeded in arresting a defiant murderer with out firing a shot.
