Putnam. Jan. 2S.-Three boxing eX-
htbitions were put on In st. Johns
hall Thursday evening under the au-
spices OF the Putnam Social and Ath-
letic club. A capacity house was out
to enjoy the sport, which was keenly
appreciated.
The preliminary was a wrestling
match between Joe Breault and Peter
Magnan and was scheduled to go Is
minutes. 1t lasted a little over 10
minutes, when Breault pinned his man
with half Nelson.
The first boxing bout was between
Denny Ryan of Cambridge and Young
Oliver of Boston. They were supposed
to go six rounds, but in the middle of
unequal contest.
Peter Fifield of Providence and Har-
ry West of East Providence went 10
lively rounds. F'ifield was much the
heavier of the two, who were sup
posed to weigh 145 pounds. Fifield
gave his opponent a good argument
and the bout was the best of the
evening.
The final was an eight round exhi-
bition at 11S pounds between George
Alger. the Boston boxer, and Young
Dyson Of Providence. Dyson looked
good to the sports. but Alger made a
clever showing and evidently did not
extend himself to his limit. There
were no decisions. Stanton Abbott OF
Providence was referee. During the
evening Denny Ryan challenged to
meet any boy in New England at 100
pounds and was accepted by Harry
Morris Bamoine of Webster ehal-
lenged Jimmy Briggs of Chelsea
Mass. and the pair will probably be
matched in the near future.

Reversal of Wednesdays Operations
Market Nervous at Close.

New York, Jan. 2S.-The stock mar
ket today again demonstrated the mar
row professional rut into which ii has
fallen. There was little trace of any
thing beyond a reversal of yesterdays
operations, the initiative then shown
not being pursued for lack Of any sign
of outside interest or following. The
traders who bought yesterday attempt
ed to sell today, and the list moved,
therefore, in a contrary direction to
that of yesterday The reactionary
tendency in New York Central was Of
considerable sentimental effect on the
whole list, as it was considered to
prove that much that has been report
ed Of +. II. Harrimans plans has been
discounted in the advance which has
already occurred in prices. That New
York Central should sell off on the
day following the election of Mr.. Har-
riman as a director was not reassur-
ing. RuIoors about Mr.. Harrimans
health kept the market nervous at the
close. There were a few points of
persisting strength which were found
amongst the low priced railroad stocks
and had to do with supposed projects
for their absorption by larger systems

THE RoUNDHoUsE THROW
Not Favored by Best Players to Re-
turn Ball from the Outfield.

One thing about the throwing in
baseball that foreigners can't under
stand is why the players, in getting
the ball to the plate from the outfield
almost invariably throw it low and
make it strike the ground a yard or SO
in front of the plate. The baseball
players claim that a ball thown Oh
the line and made to shoot" off the
ground will reach the catcher quicker
thaD a ball thrown to him on the fly
Some years ago there was a dispo-
sition to dispute this theory, but the
general practice of the strong arm
players in making the ball shoot off
the ground proves that they believe
their idea is correct. Round house
throws, tohse loop-the-loop affairs
which weak-armed outfielders have to
resort to. seldom catch base runner
while the low, ground jumping throws
do so in almost every game.
Last season a team of real Cubans
came to this country and this subject
was widely discussed by them and the
home players. The Cubans could not
be made to believe a low-thrown ball,
which hit the ground before reaching
the catcher. was the fastest method
of getting 1t from-the outfield. They
simply would not believe but that the
tround-house" method was the best,
even when it was illustrate6~sto them
time and again.
One day the Cubans played Jimmy
Callahan's Logan Square team. Dur
ing the game Callahan. who was play
ing left field. had a chance to throw
out a slow runner who tried to score
from third base on the fly. Callahan
thought he would guy the Foreigners,
and he made a round house" throw
and caught the runner at the plate.
After that no one, even the one with
the tongue Of an orator, could con-
vince the Cubans that the round
house" throw was not the best.

STRIPPED oF ROMANCE.
An English Opinion of Fighting Modern
Style.

"B. B." writing in the London Stan
dard, has this 10 say on the subject Of
playing the game:
When money takes precedence of
sport-sport that is good, wholesome,
and rings out tales of chivalry-sport
dies inevitably and completely. We
have prattled long and increasingly
about the Burns-J johnson fight. It was
not sport; Johnson, the winner, was
no hero. He does not typify the
noble art" neither does Burns; both
men fought spitefully, disgracefully,
for a huge purse. Burns suffered him
self to be battered-for $4,000. And
the promoters are gloating over the
success of their enterprise-they en-
JOY the difference between e 1000 and
some 6 1000 taken at the gate" And
they are now securing the country
offering fortune to any man who will
stand up to the great, big black man
from Texas. The old fashioned pug
with the twisted nose and wire hair
the strange creature that used to
fight for my lord"-stood out as a
man full Of character in a world that
knew no ballast. When you think of
Keenan,, SayerS, Mace and the giants
of the prize ring, and know their his
tory, their two sided character, the
modern fighter, who wears an apology
for a glove and who croUches, hugs,
and has none OF that fine, outstanding
guard Of the old brigade, is stripped Of
Romance. And he Is spoiled,
crochety, petted child, whose liking for
a good mill'' is not inbred; it is a
trade first and last, and sorry trcde
at the best.

BEST MARATHON YET.
When Loneboat Meets Shrubb-Race
Postponed Till Feb. 5.

When Tom L)ngboat, the Indian, and
Alfred Shrubb. the Englishman. come
together in their Marathon race, which
has been postponed to Friday, Feb. 9Th,
followers of the Marathon craze are
looking for the greatest race on rec
ord.
Shrubb holds every professional dis
lance record from 1000 yards up to
II miles. He has never been beaten
in competition. He is now coach at
Harvard and is showing the aspiring
young university men down in Cam
bridge how TO eat up the ground be-
fore breakfast. Ee is not tall but not
withs landing his slight stature he has
a stride of more than five feet. He
has beaten relays OF the best profess
sional runners in this country and in
Canada.
Longboat has never, as far as the
records show, been pushed to his linn
it of speed. The Indian has done some
remarkable work aside from his spec
tacular defeat Of Dorando in Madison
Square Garden and at Buffalo. He has
run horses off their feet at county fairs
in Canada and in upper New York.
A comparison of the physical make
up of the two men and a summary Of
the performances of the two men is in
