he lash out, and on that single oc- casion all but blasted Stewart $ championship ideas Jim was fore ing and trying to make Bonner come out of his shell. While he was prancing before the old timer, using arms and legs in a brilliant bit of ringmanship, the veteran suddenly started a right handler for Stewart S jaw that seemed to come from the north pole.
 It landed kerplunk and as he reeled Bonner whisked over left that tore a terrible gash over the youngsters left eye. He was half punched, half thrown to. the floor, where he took the count. He was in bad way and the blood poured from the injured eye. He managed to get on his feet and fought back desperately to regain the lead.
 At the bell he had Bonner on the run. He kept it up to the end and pounded Bonner's heart with right handlers until that all important or gan began to shift over to the other side.
 bohhei looh HIS idClHs III Sdme fashion. but in the fifth he was pounded to the floor with the same punch. He was knocked clear across the ring, and as he rebounded from the ropes he was thumped over the heart again. He went to the floor. Then, as fast as he could get up, he was sent down. each time taking the full count Six times he was bowled over, and then the referee counted the fatal 10 he was on the floor unable to rise.

M'GovERN TO FIGHT AGAIN.

Terry McGovern. the one time featherweight champion, will re-en. ter the ring. The little demon will meet Johnny Summers, the English lightweight, on April 30 in a l0-round fight before the old road way Athletic club at Lyric hall, New York. The two boys will battle at catchweights, McGovern probably tipping the scales around 134 | pounds.
 In preparation for this match Terry will take up quarters at his old training round, Johnson's road house, on Jerome avenue. where he will be assisted by his former spar ring partner, Charles Mayhood and Martin Canole and Bat Dorsey. The return of McGovern will be a big surprise to the sporting fraternity, and if he comes in good form it will be one of the athletic miracles of the century.
 When McGovern fought his last battle with Young Corbett in Octo- Der, 1906, at Philadelphia, 1t was the general opinion he had been seen in the ring for the last time.
 Only month later it was neces- sary to send the popular boy to a sanitarium. After spending a few months there he was released as cured, and he toured the country with a vaudeville show.
 When the Giants went south on their training trip. McGovern can-| celled his theatrical engagements and got Into shape on the ballfeId He returned to the city with the Giants in fine physical condition and then said he was ready to return to the ring.
 Joe Humphries. McGovern's man ager. was loath to allow Terry 10 en- ter the ring unless he was it for the game. McGovern and pr Joseph Creamer paid visi, to the Poly clinic hospital yesterday. and the pugilist was put through thor ough physical examination by Pro- lessor F. l.. Reyes. After the ex- animation Terry was pronounced to be in good physical and mental con | dition.

BURKE QUITS THE FARM.

Sailor Burke has quit the farm. He says the chickens wouldn't lay and the cows chewed up more hay than he could grow.
 He received a wire from Jim Coff- roth last night offering him the winner of the Keteaell-Sullivan fight next month and wired back he could be there like a duck.
 Cofroth is trying to get Billy Papke to go on with the winner of the ketchell-Sullivan go. but if he misses will send for Burke.

DUBUC INJIjRED.

The well known baseball pitcher who played several games in this city last season and who has been Notre Dame's star twirler, will prob- ably be out of the game this season. He had one of his legs badly in- Jured In training several weeks ago and the injury is serious enough to keep him out of baseball for some time. If he had been successful this spring he was to have joined the New York national league team.

THE PUGlLISTS
THE COIN STILL
 COMING TO BURNS
Tommy Tackles Another Lemon in Paris-Lots of News of
 the Boxers. ~

Paris, April 20.-Tommy Burns scored another victory here Satur- day when he knocked out Jewy Smith in the fifth round The biz red-haired South African fighter, al though hopelessly outclassed, put up a game fight, and took a tremend- ous amount of punishment, but was no match for the American, who was cool and unconcerned.
 This was the first big fight in NFrance since John l.. Sullivan of Boston, fought Charlie Mitchell of London about 20 years ago, and drew an immense crowd to the bowl ing palace in Neuilly, fully one-third of the spectators being women, who appeared in the boxes and in the seats nearest the ring, and with their shrill outcries punctuated the fight.
 It was remarked that the women were even more interested than the men. They followed the tide of the battle closely, crying from time to time, Don't spare him, Tommy; no mercy" The majority of the women were Americans, and they were en- thusiastic rooters for the champion. It was evident, when the men ap- peared, that Smith was merely a great burly brute.
 As soon as the two men came to- gether it was seen that there was no comparison between them in point of science. Smith went down twice in the first round, but he came up gamely each time.
 in the second Burns went straight at his man, putting his blows wher- ever he wanted them. The third round began with fast and furi- ous interchange of blows, but Smith was badly winded. and clinched of- ten to save himself. until Burns sent him to the floor. Just as the count began a cinematograph fiashlight set fire to the garlands of paper flowers around the balcony. The women be- came frightened, and with loud cries started to stampede for the door, while the referee, Louis Phelan, calmly continued to count. and Jewy, his face covered with blood, stag gered to his feet. The panic was over before the call of time for the fourth round The fire did very lit- tie damage. and the women re- turned to their seats.
 In the fourth round Burns was smiling with confidence and knocked his man about as he pleased His manager asked him: Why don't ] you finish him?"
 Burns laughingly shook his head 1 and continued playing with Smith. | At the opening of the fifth. however. Burns came up with an air of deter imitation, and after a few feints, | landed a heavy swing on Jewy's jaw and sent him down for the count.
 A roar of applause followed the | announcement of Burns's victory. and many of the women gave vent to their pleasure by eIapplng their hands.
 Several minor fights were held during the evening. but the bout that pleased the women most was fight between two boys of and 6 years of age. 1ronic cheers greeted the appearance of the little fellows. and some of the men shouted, Take them off: shame: send them home" but the women insisted shrilIy that the boys be permitted 10 go ahead. and the babies fought three rounds.

 Games.


 season at the Driving park. This will be the ninth season that this popu- lar league has appeared before the public and judging by the interest displayed already, it would seem that this year will prove to be the banner one of them all. Although the mana gers have handed in a list of names, it does not necessarily follow that such will be the composition of their teams. In the practice games in dulged in by the different teams some of the weak spots have been located and these will be remedied in time for next Sundays opening games. It is expected that the St Joseph team, Charles Martin captain, will line up with the same team that defeated the Good Will nine yester- day and the Sunday before. The Washington Hill nine includes the names of some of the old war horses who generally wait until the good warm weather sets in; consequently the lineup for the opening is unde- cided. The makeup of the Brooklyn team will be practically the same as last year, with perhaps one or two changes. John Schlosser, who at the present time is banning out so we'll with the Waterbury team, was ex- pected to do the twirling for this team. The Hamilton Parks, formerly the Merrimac team, will consist of the best material in last years team With the addition of some of last years stars who played with the Pastlmes. The final arrangements for the opening of the season will be completed at the meeting of the league Tuesday evening.
 The Bush league has gone by the boards after only one Sunday of ex- erclse. The Junior league will con- tlnue and yesterday played some in- teresting games. The Cadets and the Quakers played one of the most ex- citing games of the day. The Cadets won out although the Quakers made great try in the last stages of the game. The score:
