DRISCOLL AND BALDWIN.

Jem Driscoll and Matty Baldwin are expected to establish new worlds record for speed in their six round bout at the Fairmont Athletic club Friday night. Driscoll is con- ceded to be one of the fastest boxers in the world, and no opponent of the diminutive Boston boy who has met him has ever had cause to complain of Baldwin's lack of action.
 Driscoll is the featherweight cham pion of England He is said to be a fighter of the highest class, and tes- timony to that effect is given by all who have seen him in action at his training quarters in Westchester. He wiped all the men in his class off the map before he left his native soil, but since his arrival in America he has been followed by an unshakable hoo doc.
 When Driscoll was first matched with Baldwin he started to train after the American idea. Frank Johnson, who once fought Young Corbett to a standstill, was chosen as his sparring partner. Johnson has grown into the welterweight class, but weight did not count against the fast English man. He was never there when any of Johnson's punches arrived.
 In the month or more that John son has been sparring six rounds a day he has never succeeded in land ing single blow on the Englishman Driscoll is said to have a good punch and short, snappy blows that have steam in them.
 In Matty Baldwin Driscoll will meet one of the toughest men of his weight in the world. Baldwin has always been forced to give away weight, and against the big fellows he has made great showing. He holds a decision over Tommy Mur- phy.

ACCURATE BALL THROWING,
How Herman Long Killed Rat 200
 Feet Away.

One thing about baseball that as- tonlshes foreigners more than any, thing else is the remarkable accuracy ef the throwing. This is especially true of those who have played crick- ct. The batting and the catching and stopping of balls is not nearly so impressive to them as the way the players shoot the ball around the dia- mond with the unerring aim of a rife shot.
 The reason for this is probably be- cause the foreigners cannot get the knack of accurate throwing down like the Americans do. An instance of this is given in the following story in a recent issue of Tit-Bits, a London publications:
 The other day an amusing inci- dent occurred at Rosall, when hare dashed in among the players. J. T. Hearne, who was about to bowl. tried to hit the hare instead of the opposite wicket A. N. Hornsby threw his bat at the animal, but it was too sharp for him and ran to cover point Hornby, Spooner and Frink Harry made desperate efforts to secure hare tie. but in vain. The hare escaped from all the players"
 A professional ball player would be disgraced for life if he got within throwing range of an animal as big as hare and failed to bring him down with throw of baseball. As against this failure by the English cricketers, there was an incident at Philadelphia park few years ago which we'll Illustrates what base ball player can do in the throwing line.
 One afternoon the Phillies were playing the Boston team. Billy" Hamilton was in center field for Boston and Herman Long was at short stop. During the game there came a cry from Hamilton, who was seen excitedly pointing to an object which was dashing across the ground toward the flag pole in deep center field. The shooting object was rat. Long was standing in his position at short stop with the ball in his hand. Herman heard Hamilton's cry, wheel ed around, took one glance at the rat running across the field, gauged the direction of it's flight without the loss of second. and let the ball go. The ball hit the rat and there was one less rodent in the world.
 Longs throw was fully 200 feet. but he hit the flying animal as if it was a stationary object. No sports man ever made prettier shot at bird on the wing than Long did that afternoon. When it is considered that short stops usually throw at man standing on base, Longs judg- ment in gauging just how far ahead of the animal he was to throw in or der to make the kip was really wonderful.

BoTHNER.TREMBLAY MATCH.

George Bothner, the champion wrestler of America, and Eugene Tremblay of Montreal, Cam ada, the French-Canadian champion, have been matched to wrestle to a finish, under Police Gazette rules, for the largest purse offered by a re- sponsible club in America or Canada. The men wrestled oyer five hours at Sohmer park, Montreal. narly two years ago, at the lightweight limit, and since that time, notwithstanding that Tremblay has been offered big inducements to meet Bothner for the title at his weight in Greater New York. he has absolutely refused to do so.
 If the match Is secured by Cana dian promoters Johnny Dunn. Both- ner's manager, will insist on a New York referee officiating, as Trem- plays manager has suggested the sporting editor of the Montreal Presse if the contest takes place ia New York.

HOPPE ON THE STAGE
The Boy Billiardist to be Featured
 in Vaudeville.

And now comes forth wizard of the cue and worries In search of stellar honors in a new field, that of vaudeville. Willie Hoppe, the youth full master of masses, balklines and intricate angles, and champion bil- liardist in general, is the new aspir- ant. and William Morris the manag- ing promoter.
 It has long been a problem how to present billiard-playing exhibi- tions upon a theater stage so that an audience can see it. Now this has been solved by an arrangement of mirrors at an elevation upon three sides of the billiard table. It is such contrivance which reflects with precision and accuracy every stroke of the player and movement of the spheres.
 Young Hoppe will make his first appearance upon any stage in the Fulton theater, Brooklyn on Monday November 1e.

THE PUCILISTS
Last of th. Fake Priz. Fight Pro- moter, Was Arrested Yes-
 terday.

New York, Nov 11.--The police have brought the Holznagel fake prize fight case to public notice again by the arrest of another man whom they allege was in the gang that got away with $15,000 of perfectly good money, This last arrest, which is the third made, is of Edward Morris, who the police say is known under aliases of James Morgan and Deaiy Morris, and known, they allege, as q wire tapper. He was arraigned Tn Jefferson Market court yesterday morning on a short affidavit and was held for forty-eight hours in $lOOO bail.
 About two months ago Holznagel, who is hotel keeper in Scranton, Pa, was lured to this city in hopes or making business deal, but he was successfully switched off into the private" prize fight game. From New York he was taken to Bridge port, and fight" was pulled off on which he bet $5,000 on the man who had it clnched, but. who got knocked out by mistake" "
 This done, the gang found their fall guy still had faith in them, so they got him to bet $10,000 on an other fight between the same pair of "pugs." He bet the increased sum in Boston, by the way-with the best intentions in the world of not only getting it back, but also what he had lost before. Something went wrong again, however. and the wrong man got knocked out" Still Holznsgel's illusions had not been dispelled and the gang got him to go to Albany, while they skipped in whatever way they chose.
 It was four days later before Holz- nagel came to in the matter, and then he made another hurried trip to New York. This time it was to see the police, however, and not to bet on sporting events. He spent several days in the rogues' gallery with de- tectives and picked out the pictures of most of the gang, 1t is understood. About two weeks after that the po- lice got a man named Charles Con- dolf, whose brother is known in con nection with several wire tapping episodes, and another named Ed ward Collins. Both these men have been up in court several times, but in each case their cases have been continued. a"s
 Among the pictures pointed out by HolZnagel in the rogues' gallery was that of Morris, and the police have been looking for him ever since. They finally picked him up' at tue corner of Broadway and Twenty-sev- enth street Monday night, and he was arraigned, as already stated, yester- day morning.
 The complainant, Frederick Holz- nagel, of the St Charles hotel, Scran- ton, Pa, was notified of the arrest by Inspector McCafferty of the detective bureau and told to be in court when the case comes up on Thursday morn ing. Morris, the police say, is the first man who the hotel man met, and it was he who told of the way to make money on the fight.

 Games


 The Bridgeport team in the State Bowling league not only took all three points from the Waterbury team last night at the Park City alleys but they broke the league rec ord for the highest single string, they scoring 1O56 In the second game. To show what fine rolling was done in this game 1t is only necessary to say that Bridgeport made but four breaks in the entire string. Every man rolled over 200 but one in the string, The bowling of the home team was remarkably, even and the result was highly grati- flying to the large number of spec. tators who assembled to see the con test. The score was as follows:
