dreadfully hot, and the doctor was
complaining of the suffocating temper

was asked. Why don't you hold the
convention in winter or In the cool OF
the autumn"
Quite simple" he replied.
And then he delivered a one-minute
talk that ought to set every brain to

problems OF life and death with which
the physician is always occupied.

other related ailments that II keeps
US doctors busy. And In the late
summer. after the flies get plentiful

Pittsburg, May 1S.-Nearly 10000 people assembled at Duquesne garden here tonight to witness the boxing bout between Stanley Ketehel of Grand Rapids. Mich. the middleweight cham pion, and Hugh McGann of Kansas City. before the National Athletic club, who were scheduled for a six-round go. Both men were in prime condition. Un- usual interest was attached to the fight tonight owing to the fact that Ketchel has a contract to meet Jack Johnson, the heavyweight champion.
 Both men went through light prac- tice this afternoon and then rested for the bout tonight which started shortly after Il o'clock.
 In the preliminaries to the main bout, Young Jack O'Brien had the best of the fight against Young Blackall, and Young McAulife bested Johnny Conlon.
 Six times Hugh McGann was down for a count of nine seconds. Five times in the sixth round he was saved from a knockout by a second. Twice he was knocked through the ropes, once clear across the press table into the seats of spectators. Ketchel apparently toyed with his opponent

W. B. Kay, who was turned adrift by the Washington club some time ago, also put in a claim to be called free agent The commission, however, re- fused to allow his claim Kay is ordered to report to the Washington club at once.

O'Brien Optimistic.

Philadelphia May 1S.-A visit to the respective training quarters of the two fighters, OBrien and Johnson, late to- day found both men in good condition and each equally sanguine of the re- suit of tomorrows battle. O'Brien In particular was delighted at the op- portunity of meeting the big colored fighter. He said
 T have no fear of the outcome of tomorrow nights battle with Johnson. I had an opportunity yesterday of view ing the pictures of the recent Johnson Burns fight in Australia and believe me, If Johnson adopts the same tictics against me as he did in the Australia battle there will be a different story to tell I am heavier and much faster than Burns and then 1t took Johnson 14 rounds to accomplish the Canadians downfall. In my fight with Burns in California the latter could not defeat me, yet I failed to train properly For this fight with Johnson I have trained more conscientiously than I ever did in my life"
 Johnson said tonight that the bout would not go the limit and that he would be returned the victor.

Memphis in Birmingham. Mobile in Atlanta.
 Nashville in Little Rock.

The Barons and the Memphii broke even in doubIe-header yesterday afternoon, the visitors taking the first game. to ]. and the Barons the second, to 3.
 The first was a splendid pitchers battle between Schopp and Quiesser. in which the Baron had the better of the argu- Inent. The first run of the Memphii re- suited from a dropped fly by Ellam, while the second was due to carelessness. Schopp. who, with Babb on first, baked, presenting the opportunity for the two successive sacrifices which scored him.
 The Barons' run came in the eighth in- ming. schopp played safely, stopping at second, when the occupancy of third would have been easy. AIcGilvray's sin gle scored the pitcher At this time ouiesser was forced to retire. Shields suc- ceeded and Gygli stung one to deep left which Coulson caught, doubling Henline at second
 Splendid fielding by Wagner, Coulson and Baerwald, and marvellous infielding by Bowen and Ellam featured the game. < Schopp was touched in the first, second and sixth innings: Quiessor in the third seventh and eighth, couple falling to- gether in the latter period.
 The second game proved a walkover for the Barons.
 The cause of this was the wildness of Shields The native Memphian couldn't get them over the pan at all, and when they touched the corners they proved easy.
 The visitors got one in the first, how ever, when three hits and sacrifice scored Wagner. Their other runs came in the eighth, resulting from three hits in succession by Wagner, Cobb and Cran- ston, that of Cobbs being for two bags to deep center
 The Barons' first run came in the first. Mclesworth was walked. sacrificed and driven home by MeGilvray's double over third. Raub was walked, took second on an out, third on an error of Babb and was scored by Bauer's sacrifice fly.
 In the fourth, two others were added After Bowen walked, Morris and Bauer singled in succession. Molesworth's walk forced Bowen home, while Morris scored on an out to the infeld.
 
 In the sixth the Barons batted all round, and piled up four additional tal- lies.
 Walks granted to Bowen and Morris, and an infield hit by Bauer filled the bases A double to right by Molesworth cleaned them Ellalns hit scored Moles- worth. After McGilvray had flied out to Coulson, Gygii singled, but neither Henline nor Raub could deliver.
 In the eighth the Barons again filled the bases. but couldn't score Gyglis s walk filled the bases. Henline fouled out to Carey. Raub stung one on the nose and 1t went to deep left field fence. Coulson caught 1t, however, after spec tacular backward running effort. This was perhaps the best individual play of the game.
 The Memphis outfield and the Baron in- field again starred Coulson and Wagner did sensational work, while Bowen and Fllam played in marvellous fashion in the diamond.
 The second was the first errorless game played by the Barons this season.
