New York Holds
Center of Stage.

Boston, July 6.-Now that the smoke
of the big battle has cleared away. the
lesser lights VIII occupy attention for
while. New York holds the center of
the stage this week. and has two bouts
scheduled that are of importance to
the contestants.
Leach Cross, a lightweight who bids
fair to make a name for himself, will
meet Charley Griffin. the Australian
lightweight, for a ,sfx-round battle
Summing up Grifiin's record he appears
to have the best of the matter. and his
initial appearance is awaited with
much interest. Should lie dispose of
Cross. he will have accomplished a big
task for q starter and it will give him
prestige for future engagements. Tues
day night Tommy Murphy, who is to
meet Rudolph UnholZ at the ArInory
a. A., July 49, faces Jack Goodman for
a six-round bout. Murphy has grad
ually overcome the sickness that he
has been afflicted with for some time.
(chills and fever), and is reported to
be in the finest condition of his box
ing career. Goodman is hard GUS
toner to dispose of. but encouraging
reports from his training quarters
make TOmmy's chances bright.
Jim Barry and Jim Flynn, heavy
weights, are down to battle at Denver
next Wednesday night. Barry is an
outer. and you never can tell when he
is going to box right. Against Flynn
he ought to do pretty we'll He has
Eeddy Murphy to handle him. AS
Flynn is the same kind of boxer it is
a tossup which will win.
Willie Lewis has a bout on for Fri
day night, facing Mike Donovan of
Rochester, Donovan is good man.
and has boxed about all the best men
in the welterweight division, holding
his own against them. Lewis is a
trihe too fast for him. but while he
may outpont Mike, he will have to
use all his ring craft.
BATTLING Nelson's victory over Joe
GaLs emphasizes the ability of Ru-
dolph Unholz. The latter is credited
with beSting the Dane in a 10-round
bout at Los Angeles. Unholz unques-
tiobably had the best of the contest
as every report showed he had Nelson
in straits hroushoutthe bout.
Now that the Battler has won from
Cans, the Boer boxer looms up as a
logical candidate for a chance at the
championship. UnholZ has Tommy
Murphy to dispose of, feat he is con-
tident he will accomplish at the
Armory A. A. July 2S He is due to ar
rive in Boston during the present
week. and will Immediately go to
NOrthbo to train.
Kid Ahell who was sparring part
ner for Rat Nelson for a while. is Sc
riously i'll at a New Jersey hospital.
Billy Mccarthy, once a tough fellow
in the middleweight class, after an
absence Of 10 years, has returned to
Australia. Mccarthy was one of the
old timers of the days of LaBlanche
and Marine and Jack Dempsey.
At Bar Harbor last Friday night.
Tim Sullivan, the Newburyport mid
dlcweight. had all the best of mis- six
round go against jim Flynn. The pair
are to be matched again.

GOVERNMENT TO
CARE FOR LEPER
Man Afflicted With Horrible
Malady Cannot be Trans
ported However

Washington, Aug. 2s-Inquiry as
to the facilities Of the war depart
ment for taking care of tho leper,
John B. EARLY. formerly a United
States soldier and now isolated in
this city. has developed the fact that
e leper is being cared for in the vol
unteer soldiers home at Milwaukee in
the person OF Alfred 8. O'Gorman
formerly A private in Company q.
First infantry Of the regular army and
als0s q slhspDer OF q volunteer regi-
tnerit during the Spanish war. Pri-
vate O'Gorman was an inmate of the
volunteer soldiers home at Milwaukee
when It was discovered that he was
afflicted with the disease. He was
promptly isolated and measures were
at once taken to have the war depart
ment remove him from that home.
The war department replied to the
authorities at Milwaukee that they
could place him, in the colony in the
Philippines, in California, in Louis
lana or in Porto Rico, and did not
object to accepting him in the SOL
diers' home of the regular army in the
District of Columbia. But when an
effort was made to secure transport
alton for the soldier, 1t was found
that no railroad would accept him.
That was two. years ago and he has
since been in the volunteer home at
Milwaukee.
The army also has control of anoth-
er leper, who is located at Fort Scriv-
en-, on the island of Tybee, off the
port of Savannah, Ga. In this case,
leprosy was developed two or three
years ago on the part of soldier
stationed at Fort Scriven, who was at
once isolated and has ever since been
cared for on the island. No unfavor-
able result has come from having
him there and none is feared.
Inquiry being made in respect to
the disposition Of EARLY, the officials
of the district were informed that the
war department has no means for
caring for lepers, and there never
has been q disposition on the part Of
the department to establish a leper
colony. In view of the experience Of
the war department in caring for Pri-
vate O'Gorman, the belief is general
among the high officials that Early
probably will have to remain in the
District Of Columbia. Early proba-
bly, will get pension from the gov
ernment for total disability and will
thus be able to support his family
in North Carolina at least in part. He
may also get small allowance for
an attendant.

Charles Recipients OF Gifts


Hot Springs, Va. Aug. 2s-The
three hundred and fifty guests OF the
Homestead hotel last night presented
Judge Taft, Mrs. Taft and Master
Charles Taft each with a silver low
ing cup as a formal farewell express
sion of their regard. The big hotel
family gathered in the ball room

lectured and showed incidentally a
halfs hundred views of Mr. Taft in his
various occupations and pastimes
during his stay OF nearly two months
in this mountain resort.
Speechmaking of lighter vein, in
terspersed with music and followed
by a reception wherein the candidate
and his family shook the hand OF ev-
cry guest, constituted an evening OF
good fellowship and animation. Judge
Horace H. Burton OF Tennessee, a
long time personal friend of Judge
Taft, presided, and opened the presen-
tation exercises with an expression
been aroused in the candidate and
his family by the daily friendly in
tercourse in the hotel. Judge Taft
and Col. John G. McAnerney were
escorted to the front while Dixie
was played and the colonel, in most
happy vein, presented the cup to the
candidate and Mr.. Taft< responded.
Mrs. Taft was next brought for
ward and received her cup at the
hands of Mrs. Luke P. Blackburn. An
even dozen little girls in white sur
rounded Master Charles Taft and
made him the blushing recipient Of
e miniature loving cup.
