MEXICANS CELEBRATE AT AGUA PR|ETA
Bull Fight on Afternoon of 18th Was Principal Feature, Grand hBaiIe" at Night

DOUGLAS, Sept. 17.-(SpeciaL) )-
 The celebration at Agua Prieta was not altogether feverish during the day.
 Everything was quiet owing to the extremely warm weather, but toward evening things began to stir and by the time the day had cooled of it be- gan to look like a real live Fourth of July.
 The bull fight in the afternoon was, as usual, a feature. The bulls were pretty we'll fed and seemed to feel their oats They whipped around the ring and kept the band of bull fighters moving right along. Several of them were glad to get under cover to evade the thrusts of the long and vicious horns of the bulls. But it was decid- ed not to kill any of the animals and thus no slaughter was indulged in.
 The circus seemed to be a center of activity and the music was very attractive. There were also several minstrels who wandered here and there and discoursed some of the soft and delightful music which the Mexican people are fond of, and which is ever charming to the lover of music.
 Tn the afternoon a program was car ried out when several interesting speeches were made. The school chii- dren all turned out and took part in the celebration. It was very pretty to see the little ones marching and doing all in their power to commemor- ate the day which is most sacred to the people of Mexico. The singing was one of the features of the program Everyone present felt that they had been well entertained.
 The dance in the evening at the home of Mir. Mendosa was enjoyed by those who were fortunate to receive an invitation and the refreshments were particularly enjoyed by all who attended

POLO NOTES.
That's the way to do it.

That's the way to do it.
 A few more games like that and the 1 fans will crowd the rink.
 Wait until Boston comes here on Tuesday night next, We will put q kink in her aspirations.
 Tho goal credited to Cameron should really go to Pierce. Cameron hit the ball but it caromed off of Pierce's hockey, by accident though. Cameron came close to getting a good rap last night from the ball as it came whizzing through the air. It just grazed his temple. Had it been the fraction of an inch either way. it certainly would have knocked him unconscious.
 Every player on the team said last week that when Waterbury got going there would be nothing to stop her. We have the best team in this league and we will prove it when Loxson gets back" has been their claim, and they seem to be making good.
 Some one must have done some in- jury to Gilly Daily, for he has been very meek and lamblike for many weeks now. Since the night of the hot repartee between himself aud another spectator he seems to have closed his vocabulary. Did the constable warn him?
 There is some talk of match race between George Cunningham of Paw ,unI-ot o,.H L-;I n.,.rran .,f Na1,- Iprs+ ain. Cunningham says he is willing and there is no doubt hut that Dug gan has an idea he can give thc vet eran a beating. If arranged r will take place in this city.
 The fast pace told on Bob LCxson last night and he looked anxiously at the timer during the last period. Bob has not fully recovered from his re- cent injury. but the old form is ccm- ing back in jumps and soon hea will he where he was before the acci- dent. then watch out.
 Dicky Fierce is q gentlemanly play cr in every stage of the game. Last night he had an opportunity to bang the ball while it was in the air. hut re- trained when hc saw Fahey in the way of his hockey. There are some who would have let that stick go. cnee it started mo matter where it landed.
 Will the management kindly sec that the press box is reserved for members Of the press. Therc is not the slightest objection for spectators to sit there if there is rOom. liut their enthusiasm leads them to pound the mahogany top table on which the scribes are writing and the result Is sometimes disastrous to good CODY

New Orleans. Jan. 3.-Jockey Me Cure, who rode Full of Fun at the City park race track. was suspended indefinitely. Heretofore the horse has not been very well played. The bet ting ring barometer showed that the stcepIcchascr was well thought of by some wise" bettors. Poolrooms also received a dFubbing. This means that Mcclure is practically ruled of the turf.

THE DIAMOND.
Some Little Talk of National
 Game.

When the National Baseball con- mission holds its annual meeting ill Cincinnati next Monday Ban John son, member of the New York Ma tional league club, will he asked to explain why he has not paid the SI,- 900 fine inflicted by the commission some time ago at the recuest of Lnc New Orleans club. 'becauss of the forfeiture of several games there last spring by McGraw's men whn, it viii be recalled, refused to play out the series with the Philadelphia Amcri- cans, alleging that Umpire Zimmer was unfair. Tt is up to Brush to make good the fine." says Johnson, and the commission will enGeavar to find out why the amount was not paid for long ago." Brush declared when the fine was inflicted that the commission had no Jurisdiction in the matter and that he would not pay pending reopening of the case.
 There seems to be no end to the troubles of Garry Hermann from I baseball point of view. While Garry is still trying to select a manager for the Cincinnati Reds the announce ment has just been made that there will be determined flgkt made ;n Ohio this year and befcrs the leeis- lature to put stop to al Sports OH Sunday, especially baseball. If Sum- day games are stopped ia Yorktown it will mean serious loss to not only Herrmann's club. but also all of the other clubs in the Nationai league. Hermann has already losE s100,OO0 in his baseball ventures. and just at present there seems to be little chance for him to get out O. the hole.

THE PUGlLlSTS
DISPUTE OVER
 MIDDLEWEIGHT
Bob Fitzsimmons Says He Has It on Them All-Other Fight
 News of Interest.

While Hugo Kelly and Bill Papke are both laying. claim to the middle weight championship Tommy Ryan IS busy making statements 70 the erect that he is the real champion ill that class and that he will fight again just as soon as Kelly and Papke settle the question of supremacy between them. Meanwhile Papke, who says he beat Kelly fairly the other night, declares that he will now make match with Stanley ketcbell, the California pug Hist, who is out of the ring tempor- arily with q broken hand. Ryan be- leyes that a Ketchell-Papke fight would produce strong opponent for him in a battle for the championship. But Ryan does not have to wait for these men to meet, for Robert I'itz- simmons, old as he is, has just made statement to the effect that he is the undefeated middleweight champion of the world and that he will take on Ryan at short notice :. Fitz says be will post S2,50O to bind match with Ryan and will need about six weeks to get into condition. T can beat Ryan, for he's an old timer like my. self. Let him put up his coin if he believes he is the real middleweight champion and I'll prove to him that he never had q right to that title.'. Fitz- simmons, who was in New York re- gently, also said that Tommy Burns, in his opinion, is not q first class heavyweight, and that if he ever got a chance to tackle Burns he would agree not to take q penny if he did not score knockout inside of ten rounds.
