While there were no stars Of the first magnitude on the card at the Sharkcy A C., the other night. an in- teresting set of bouts was produced by group of boxers from this city and from Philadelphia. and the mem- bers of the club felt at the end that they had been given their dues worth even if the lads were not stars Tho main joy of the evening was produced by the two appearances of Young Jack Q Brlen, Philadelphia. in which he got an even break. knocking out his first opponent. Paddy Collins and quitting when he was hammered by Harry Clutch of this city in thc later bout. Those bouts brought more en- thusiasm from the spectators than any other of the card.
 To begin the proceedings, Young Kid Broad went on for four rounds with Buddy Ackcr and outpointed Acker without much trouble. O'Brlen was sent Into the ring with Collins and that bout was short, for the Quaker landed q beautiful right that keeled Paddy over in the first round. While O'l}rien was resting. Phil Me- Govern went on with Charley Harvey for four rounds to an interesting draw
 Then O'Brien was produced again. His first round looked pretty good in the beginning, for twice he floorcd Clutch, but when the latter arose after the second knockdown he returned the compliment with much vigor. O'Brien was led to his corner and when he came up for the second round Clutch lost no time in slipping three rights over to the jaw. The Quaker was then willing to call it an evenings work and refused to set up until the full ten had been rolled off Tho semi-windup was six round draw between Boxer Kelly and Frank Mccormick and in the final Frankie Moore of Philadelphia out pointed Jimmy Moran of Brooklyn in six rounds

 We arc told that the automobile Is 'here to stay" If 1t does kill n few children, main few pedestrians and make life uncomfortable for citizens, why should the relatives of the de- ceased be encouraged to Haunt the anguish of their bereavement against the march of the triumphant automo- bile? or crippled or frightened citl- zons attempt to rate. their safety or comfort higher than the glory of the machine which is to be the vehicle of the future?

 The high school men have been practicing faithfully under Captain Adams and expect to make a good showing at the meet, Considering the tho brilliant showing made by the few who entered the Naval meet lt can be safely said that the local boys will repeat their good work

Manager Jennings of Detroit, Is of opinion that the country boys make better ball players than tho city bred chaps At first blush this appears plausible and true but as a matter of fact It is misleading The country dis 'tricts produce the most players, owing to grater and less arduous facilities for practlcing the game, but no better players than the cities, town and vll- lages. Some of the greatest players the game has ever seen. and some of the best men in the game to-day. hail from the great cities, and a goodly proportion of the vast army of prOfos- slonal ball players ls town- bred Mir Jennings claim is all right when based on quantity and all wrong when we consider quality,

owen Moran, the English feather weight who recently returned to the tight little lsc' after successful stay in this country, has made a clear and concise comparison of the fighting methods of the United States and those ot his own country.
 T have come to the conclusion" he said, that our boxers are being sim ply left behind through continuing to adopt old-fashioncd methods of train ing and not having enough fights Then, again the referees want you to be too fairThcir mode of fighting out in America is entirely different from ours. They block each others blows with the open glove, and close only when delivering q punch. Why, if such thing was done in England, the referee would tell you at once to close your glove or disqualify you,
 Then, again, there is the different manner of training. No twenty miles before dinner. two hours in the gym nasium, and bed by 9 o'clock. In- stead, they do four or five miles road work, and then the work in the gym scarcely lasts more than half an hour, including bag punching, skipping, shadow boxing and various other ex- ercises,"
