FIGHT WAS Al nRAw.

New York, June 24.-Those oblig- ing mixers, Tommy Murphy and Bert
 Reyes, fought six round draw in
 the wind-up at the opening of the Navarro A. C., Ulmer park, last night. The old rivals fought under straight oueensberry rules and each had too much respect for the others punch to offer any openings for knockout thumps.
 The first round was even. Reyes drew blood from Murphy's iip with a lett swing fin the second. but the round was even. A gash opened over Murphyis eye in the third when the pair butted heads together. Mur- phy had the better of he fourth round and Reyes shaded his op- ponent in the fifth. Both boys were in splendid condition and went the sixth rather faster than either of the opening sessions. At the end there vas no choice. the majority of the 1000 spectators evidently agreeing that neither had shown as well as i'm previous meetings between the arht- ing lightweights.

 With some careless playing left over rom the day before. gave O'Rourse's team an unexpected victory. More serious than the loss of the game was an injury to Earl Gardner, the second paseman who does not have an canal outside the major leagues. Gardner secured one of the two hits made off Red Waller. He ran to second in the sixth inning when Connery bunted ana made a good slide for the bag, lie spread his hands out as he went down and Hit, to avoid Jumping on 1ardner's head, jumped on his right nand and spiked two fingers.

RESTORED PLAYERS SIGHT. F --v---4-v-E- '1- Case Which Surprised Patient and
 Surgeons in BeIeyue Hospital.

New York. June 24.-James Can tillion of Marionette, Wis, who was totally blind, regained his sight at Bellevue hospital during a fit of mysteries which followed the sur geons' announcement to him that bis case was considered hopeless and that he would probably remain blind for the remainder of his life.
 Cantillion, who is professional baseball player. a member of the Des Moines team and a brother of Joseph Cantillion, manager of the Washington American league team. had had to have his left eye re- moved as the result of an accident in Chicago several months ago. The sight of the other eye failed from sympathetic affection. He came to the Cornell university medical col lege for treatment and was prepar- ing in Bellevue for an operation.
 The surgeons decided that an op- eration would be useless, and so in- formed Cantillion, who thereupon became hysterical. Suddenly he cried out that he could see and tests showed that the sight of the right eye had been almost completely re- stored. The specialists now hope to complete the cure.
 The hospital surgeons say that Cantillion's loss of sight was un- due to an affection of the nervous system, and that the hys- erical attack he underwent is re- ponsible for the restoration.

THE DIAMOND
WE TRIED HARD
 AT THE LAST
Came Within an Ace of Beating Holyoke Out-All the Other
 Results.

| Holyoke, June 24.-Two clouts
 that cleared the right field fence, an
 other that struck the screening a
 dozen feet above the same boards,
 only to bound back into the field, and
 still another that dented the same
 outfield wall but a few inches from the top, were Pitcher Charlie Schmidt's contribution to yesterday afternoons swatting festivities on the local lawn. It happened that there were no base occupants at the time the homers were made, but the one that shook the screening went for single and scored a runner from second, and the board bender was good for two bases and scored man from first. It was this dou- ble, too, that won the game, as it came in the ninth inning with the score tied at to 5 with Waterbury, and two men out, polishing off one of the understandable batting feats ever credited to any player, and espe- cially noteworthy for a pitcher.
 Not only was Schmidt there with the big stick, but he fielded his posi- tion magnif1cently and was also on deck with the choicest pitching sam ples that should have earned him shutout and not necessitated any sen- sational attachment in the ninth. For eight innings the big German boy was touched for but two hits, and third base was the nearest visitor approached the plate. h the ninth Waterbury woke up and waded into him for four successive safeties, and Baker and Boucher tied errors to the fusilade so that before anyone real ized 1t Holyoke's big lead had been wiped out and the scores were equal Baker redeemed himself a moment later by going into right field for a short fly which, had it fallen safe, would have scored another run for the Duranters.
 ' Nichols began the ninth with a sin gle and O'Hagan slipped in a two decker. On Mullaney's jingle Nich- ols scored and O'Hagan followed him on Murphy's base hit. Shincel soaked to Baker. who threw low to Boucher at second. just missing Mur- phy. Mullaney making the plate port on the play, Spec Paine went to bat for Reilly and hit to Boucher, who fumbled and then tossed past Massey, | Murphy scoring and Shincel going to | third. Rogers lifted to Baker and | when Fitzpatrick slded out to Dolan, 5hincel scored the tying run. Swan der sent fly back of second and Baker hauled it down and Water bury's last chance had passed.
 In Holyoke's half of the ninth Hay ward had struck out and Baker flied o Nichols when Kerr was passed. Schmidt was two strikes and three 'alls when Rogers rolled Tn a fast me with his shoulders and Schmidts tick sent 1t up against the right, ences board not far from the location If the others. Kerr had counted as 'chmidt turned second and took a unning dive in the dirt, about all in fter his big days work. The score:

THE PUGILISTS
THEY ARE DAFFY
 OVER IN PARIS
Prize Fights Attract the Elite of the City-Cross and Murphy
 in a Draw.

| Prize fights are the latest to ab-
 sorb the attention of the Parisian so-
 ciety woman. Within the last week
 three large dinner dances nave been
 cancelled, owing to the fact that the
 prospective guests, as we'll as the
 host and hostess, expressed a prefer ence to witness prize fights At one
 of the prize fights Wednesday women
 dressed in the height of fashion were
 among the keenest spectators of the | brutal exhibition which ensued. All
 the women were in evening dress,
 and apparently were bent on seeing
 one of the men placed hors de com | bat. They go there as matter of
 fact for that purpose. They want to see blood flow and men go down and out.
 .Le knoc out" is the latest cry and sensation.
 One particular club holds an ex- nlbltion once week, when profess sionals appear. During the week its amateur members take lessons from the professionals. Each fair one has her special favorite.
 The star bout of the week was held Thursday night. All Paris that was interested in the manly art was. there. Prices were raised because a fight to a finish was promised. The elite of Paris clubdom, all in evening dress, bought seats. And in the front rows sat 200 women who want ed to be diverted and amused, as one portly dame expressed it.
 The sporting editor of a promi- nent paper thus reported the battle:
 Three thousand persons, among them 200 elegant young women, pressed around the platform sur rounded by barrier of ropes"
 Boxing is so new in Paris that he feels in duty bound to describe the | ring. It is platform surrounded Dy barrier of ropes," he Jays. ITO | the general satisfaction" he contin- ues, there was blood in the second | round. In the fourth k rolled on the ground and could not get up. The referee gave the victory to | B--, who stood over his victim in the pose of a victorious gladiator be- fore the delighted eyes of the women companions of our Parisian club men.
 ,'It was a stiff fight. K- was not whipped until he was knocked out. He made the giant B. put forth every endeavor, and after being counted out he allowed himself to be lifted to his feet to be photographed with his negro conqueror. How the audience-the women in front 'heered themt Un marvellous knoc 1ut'' they cried, but they complained he whole thing lasted so few min Ites." s.rs
 The French society women are fred of 'la savante," the French nethod of boxing, and want the real hing---punching faces and pummel- ngr the body. dust at present their hief pet is boy boxer, who is the hampton juvenile boxer of France. |,
 Every time he enters the ring 7 here Is open bidding among the ' eading society women present for ! he privilege of tying her favorite , olor of string or bow to the boys S 'aist. taI'
