THE PUGlLlSTS
SEVERAL FIGHTS
 LAST NIGHT
Big Colored Boxer Whips Two Men Battling Nelson Won a
 Battle.

Joe Jeanette was the bright star at the Consolidated A. C.. New York last night, whipping two men, husky fellows too, in less than six rounds. Had the supply of boxers been there the big black fellow could have whipped a couple more without even getting really warmed up.
 Joe Phillips, of Chicago, was the first victim, and he was clearly out classed. Jeanette simply toyed with him for three rounds. then cut loose and made him quit cold. Phillips said he hadn't trained and he certainly looked it.
 Griff Jones, another dark gent from the west, thought he might sneak a knockout over Jeannette, and offered himself as the next vic tim.
 He did a great deal more than Phillips, but he didn't have lookin to beat Jeanette at any stage of the game. He took a nap just as the bell sounded to end the third round.
 Still another, Griff Jones Ga white boy), gave Mississippi an awful trouncing in their Ground bout. What he didn't do with his hands he did with his head, using it as bat tering ram.
 The referee stopped Young Speech and Eddie, who were hippodroming and not even trying to box. Oscar German stopped Harry Wood in six teen seconds. German will stand watching. He appears to be very shifty and certainly has the wallop, Jack Curley defeated Eddie Duffy in lively four-round go.
 Jim Stewart, who was scheduled to box Griff Jones of Chicago, was ill and unable to appear in the ring. Manager Billy Elmer announced that he would surely box some good mar at the next entertainment.

THE SPORTING NEWS.

the race is getting more interesting. No team has cinch on the pennant now.
 So "Soxy" Lyons is on his way at last and another blow has been given to the Interstate league. By the way Jeans is still in the east, although one of the western papers reported two weeks ago that he would be there within a day or two.
 Will their be a repetition tonight of that riot that took place over in New Britain the other evening. There cerainly will, if young Schiller per sists in hanging on the Waterbury cage and standing in the goal circle. Cusick won't stand for it.
 The amateur game this evening will find the two leaders of the league battling with each other. Both the Brooklyns and South Ends have good teams and the contest, while it may not develop into the scene of the other night, will be a peach.
 If the National league takes in any more Massachusetts cities the Con- necticut franchises will go by the boards next season. Rhode Island and Massachusetts may grab up the league for themselves which would give them more compact circuit. Watch out.

RECORD OF PLAYERS.
How the Poloists Stand in the
 Race


 Hart continues to lead in his goal getting with 120 on his list Jason is pressing him hard, however, and is within six points of the Boston ruSher. Lincoln stands third, with 106, but shares the honors with Schiller, with the same number. Cunningham is fifth and Mccarthy sixth.
 Lincoln stands alone as the pre- mier rush taker. The speedy Valley Falls boy continues to beat his Op- ponent to the spot with great regu- larity. He has long lead over his next nearest competitor. Mccarthy holds second place, but is 52 rushes in the rear. John Wiley brings up the rear with one lone rush to his credit.
 Jean is jealous of his reputation as the boss foul maker of the league, and holds forth with "A, or six more than Fahey, the second man. Saun- ders is fast taking Farrells place as the foul maker of the New Haven team. Wild Charlie" has been be- having himself of late and steps soft ly when in the presence of danger.
 Sutherland continues to increase his averages as goal tender, and there are several players of the league who don't hesitate to declare that the Boston man is the best goal tend that ever stood in front of a cage. His average shows the surpris- ing figures of 300 per cent of stops out of total of 2,210 chances. The averages follow:

WRESTLING
THE ITALIAN
 DOWNED AGAIN
Jim BarDes Puts Caprimi's Should CTS to the Mat Twice Other
 News.

Northampton, Jan 14.-Jim Barnes of Springfield, the middleweight champion, and Leo Caprimi of New York, the Italian champion, met in Lyman hall last evening and Barnes won two of the three wrestling bouts. Barnes was superior in agility and was able to squirm out of all lunds of holds. He WAS clever in not get ting into a position where the Italian could use his superior strength. The bouts were short and sharp. There was considerable roughness, but in only one instance did the referee threaten to disqualify Caprimi and that was when he forced Barnes over the railing and upon the floor below the stage.
 When the men came upon the stage Barnes tipped the scales at l55 pounds and Caprimi at lS5. Barnes won the first round in Il minutes in a combination arm and bar hold. At this stage in the game the 'TerriDle Greek" from Springfield, who weighs only 140 pounds, stepped up in front of the stage and wanted to wrestle the winner for any amount.
 Caprimi won the second round on a toe and half-nelson hold. In the third round Barnes made quick work of his opponent, winning in double arm hold. At tue close of the con test L. B. Baketel announced that Caprimi and Sampson would meet in Northampton ill the near future and that Barnes was ready to accept the challenge of the Terrible Creek ,
 The preliminary match was be- tween Fleming of Northampton and Robare of Springfield and Fleming made quick woTX of his opponent. The first bout was won in 10 minutes in hammerlocl. hold. The second bout was completed in 3 minutes and 30 seconds by Fleming in scis- sors-on-the-b body hold. Fleming was the superior in both strength and ability.
 There was the largest attendance of the season and the audience was decidedly in favor of Barnes in its applause,

ONE ON RUBY ROB.
Broke His Hand While Illustrating
 the PleXus Punch.

Ruby Robert Fitzsimmons is all ways ready and willing to illustrate before sporting men just how he knocked Jim Corbett out at Carson City with his memorable solar plexus punch. Not so very many years ago his former manager. Percy WilliamS z now a we'll known theatrical mag nate, asked Fitz to show number of friends just how Corbett was anni- Inflated. Robert was in fine form then, as he was training for a fight at the time. He promptly complied with the request by calling upon Reggy Williams, a brother of his manager, to stand up and be the vic- tim. Reggy, however, had been there before and knew the power of the Cornishman' blows, so he was not over anxious to take part in the exhi- bition. So he said to Robert:
 Wait a minute, Bob, until l go and get a stiff bracer, for need courage"
 "All right" replied Fitzsimmons with a grin, but hurry" Reggy stepped over to the bar. took a nip and then picking up a thick board he slipped it under his vest. Then he came back with the remark:
 Go ahead. Bob, but not too hard. "
 FitZ jumped about, feinting and sparring for a few moments, while Williams squared off like real fight CT. Then Robert shot out his ter rible left and hit the mark with a crash. It sounded like blow on a board fence with a sledge hammer. and though Williams was knocked down he jumped up quickly and laughed until his sides shook. Fitz was dancing around on one foot with his left hand under his right arm and a look of intense pain on his face.
 Whats the matter, Boh?" asked Percy Williams who was next to the trick.
 whats the natter" roared the angry Cornishman. why. me bloom in and is smashed, That funny brother of yours as sheet of iron under his vest''
 Fitz was a mark then for a lot of zuying. but the joke was a serious ,ne. for his left hand was fin poultices 'or six weeks.

RATS RATTLE JOHN L.
Big Ex-Pugilist Fears a Rat More
 Than a Boxer.

John L. Sullivan fears a rat as
 much as an elephant does. Circus
 people always put a small terrier in
 with the elephants to keep the rats
 away, and the big animals knowing
 this, make great pets of the small
 dogs. Before Sullivan ever appeared
 in the prize ring he was working in a
 tin shop in South Boston repairing furnace fiues. While busy at his trade in an old building one day a large rat ran up Sullivan's trousers leg and gave the big fellow a fierce battle before it was killed. John was bitten on the leg in two places. That's the reason" said Sullivan to a friend one day that I wear tight pants. I'd never take a chance with a rat in loose pants again. It was a lesson II never forget" When Sul- liyan first made his appearance in New York in 1880 he wore the slick est skin tight trousers ever seen on man fin that city and with a short pea jacket he presented an unusual pie ture When John L. became the cham pion. therefore, the other fighters and dead game sports copied the fashion set by him and even to-day the big fellow wears the same kind of leg This Is one reason why Sullivan has always had a valet. for 1t is no easy task for a corpuient per- son to pull of tight trousers. especial ly after night on the Great White Way. Sullivan. like the elephants. has often taken a good rafting dog to his room at night when he had a sus- pieion that rodents were at hand.

 THIS EVENING All the Fans Will Want to See Scbiffer-Results of Games Last Night.

It will be good news to the polo fans to know that New Britain is coming this evening to visit our city and naturally we will all be pleased to see her particularly Kid Cusick. Schiffer has purchased an armor in which he is going to encase himself and thus avoid any obstacles that may come his way. Jack Fahey too will await the entrance of New Bri- tain with delight. Jack received a couple of raps on the COCO" the other night over in New Britain that he did not relish and he wants to remem- Der them vividly so that when the time comes he can repay with inter- est. It will be polo game all right, but if New Britain is seeking notor iety as prize fighters why Waterbury will accommodate them with pleas ure. At any rate it should be an in- teresting meeting wit4s brotherly love lost in the clouds.
