THE GOOD OF ATHLETIC SPORT

The subjoined article dealing with athletic sports is from the pen of Harry F. Porter of this city, world $ champion. high jumper. and we com mend its careful rerusal to our read CTS:
 twritten for The Evening Farmer by
 Harry F. Porter.)
 '"The worldwide interest in athletic sports aroused by the Olympic games in London last summer, and the na- tional feeling of pride over the splen- did showing of the American team, thave been the effectual means of awakening throughout this country a new interest in all branches. If there has been no further beneficial result than this, the stimulus has been worth the while Of all the pastimes that go ro make up such an important part Of the American youths program of activities, athletic sport is perhaps the most valuable Let us see why this lds so. The reason is simple.
 Athletic sport is the most valuable sport to be of fullest value should be capable of cultivation the year round. Secondly, thes means. for enjoying 1t should place it within reach of all. Thirdly and most important, it should be entered into by the largest number of people possible Athletic sport sat idsfies these .criterions as do no oth- CTS.
 Baseball, called by many the fla vorite national pastine', is fine sport, but 1t requires such an extent of space in which to be played and is besides limited to such a few months of the year, that it cannot meet the Requirements for a universal sport. Football is in the same category, only 'ts more dinited in scope. and is be- 1~,sI 7f,,Ia xsor f1Y1 made for it, dangerous to life and limb. 1t is, therefore, limited to the very hardest. Cricket, tennis, and golf are pleasing diversions, too, but are beyond the means of the poorer tclasses. These are more indulged in fby the leisurely class, affording an avenue of social distinction and the display of wealth in fancy accessories

and smart attire. Swimming and gymnasium are likewise impossible for obvious reasons.
 Athletic sport, on the contrary, country, is big enough and broad enough to take care of all corners in all seasons in every cline. It is, more over, absolutely democratic, for in the simple and scanty attire of the athlete, aristocrat and plebian are indistin- operating in our national life today that is more potent in fostering the principle of equality? Athletics is in deed a great common leveler-it is the most democratic of institutions. Long may it flourish, and wider yet it's pop ularity!
 'Not enough people, who could and should, take an active part in some branch of athletics. Not all of us can be worlds champions, or even cham pions of our own little circle. But we all can get a great deal of good out of a steady, persistent indulgence. with the ideal of betterment ever before us For those who put their whole heart in it there are oceans of real enjoy ment. Indeed the idea of taking part in athletics for the mere sake of honor getting, turns out in the end to be will O the wisp'; the real joy and beauty of power building are traded for the proverbial mess of potage.' uS pIcs3EHI ddy SoIIpCIllIoll IS OdI e@ passing phase of athletic sport. It is the means nature has adopted to an end.
 T long for the day when athletic sport will be entered into for the pure delight of it. When not a favored few but all with boyish glee, will par ticipate. Imagine, if you can, what a, magnificent race of people we shall have then Picture the spectacle of a worlds contest of merit with such pnr nj fcf 0r,1xy mil a impulse shall be to bring out the best in each! Who shall rejoice over the victory of a. rival equally as much as over their own! Then indeed shall we have g.. real revival of the Olympic games, and standards of excellences far surpassing/ the most redoubted feats of the Apollos of the Golden Age of Antiquity"

The first run off Gibbs came in the fourth on Rogers walk, his amble to third on Nichols hit to cen ter on which the latter was thrown out at second trying to stretch into a double. Gibbs had Swander fairly struck out but Ump O'Brien could not see it. Swander followed with a long fly to right which scored Rogers. The other two happened along in the sixth. Mex enna who took Bunyan's place at first. dropped Hilt's thrown ball. Swander hit deep between first and second, but s. Sweeney was there for the stop and the throw to first for the put-out. Bronkie hit over second. Mil Ter cleaned the bases on a. two bagger to left.
 The second contest was one oe the heaviest hitting affairs ever on the local park. Bridgeport early took the lead. was overcome in the fifth. tied up in the sixth and Jagged behind from there on. Hope pitched the first five innings for Waterbury and was counted for 13 hits. Bronkie moved in from third and allowed four hits in the four sessions that he pitched. Candy Kane was tapped with ease and regularity. Five of the 23 hits would never have been. had the in and out fielders been onto themselves and not let the ball drop between them. The fielding in this game was also loose, though Steinhauser caught two difficult flies. the first in the fourth which was almost a pick up in back of, second. and the second in the fifth way out near the right field fence after long stretch The scores:

BOXING

Pittsburg, Sept. 2.-Though Tommy Murphy of New York failed to score an advantage over Ad Wolgast, the Mich igan scrapper who recently put it all over Battling Nelson i'll a ten-rouno bout on the coast, in a six-round ses- sion before the National Sporting Club in Duuuesne Gardens last night, Mur- phy did more than the Dane, for he earned a draw. Both boys fought like gamecocks from bell to bell, but neith- CT was. able to gain an advantage, and fight fans said it was one of the clcanest draws ever witnessed in Smoketown.
 Murphy opened up on the defensive, and Wolgast, though he forced the fighting hard, was unable to get to the Gothamite. Murphy went along under wraps for three rounds and then cut loose. He carried the war to the Michigan man, but was unable to break Gown his breastw works. The final gong found the men fighting like wildcats. with honors even. Both men clam ored for a return match, and 1t IS probable they will be hooked up for another six-round go here before the end of the month.
 Meanwhile Willie Lewis has agreed, conditionally, to meet Sailor Burke at the Bronx Club, New York. on Sep tember IT, and has also been matched to box Bill Papke ten rounds in New York OcCODo1' 9. buTke, ny lll0 w dS 2, lost the decision in a. twelve round bout with a niddleweight named Flynn in Boston Tuesday night and arrived in New York yesterday declaring that ne had been robbed When Lewis beat Burke recently the Sailor said he had been "doped.'' Some day, maybe, he will admit defeat.
 Frankie Burns of Jersey City was too clever for Johnny Daly, the little Yorkville scrapper, in their ten-round bout before the members of the Shar- key Club, New York, last night. The Jerseyrnan had the better of the third, fourth, fifth, ninth and tenth rounds. The first second, seventh and eighth rounds were even. Frankie showed himself to be as quick as a. cat and ripped and tore at Johnny till he was badly battered.
 Kid Garter, once a noted boxer, who met. among others, Tommy Ryan, Joe Walcott, Jack Root. George Gardner, Joe Choynski, Marvin Hart, Kid Me Coy, Peter Maher, Sam McVey, Jack OBrien, Gus Ruhlin and others, is dy- ing it is said, at the hospital on North Brother Island from consumption. His last ring battle occurred about five years ago. In his prime he was a big favorite with New York fight fans.

President Ebbetts of Brooklyn is aI- most ready to announce that he has secured John GanZel, present manager of the Rochester club. leaders in the gers next season. Ganzel is a great player besides a manager. He was formerly with the Yankees but left that club after purch asing an interest in the Grand Rapids. Later he was engaged to uplift the Cincinnati Reds, with whom he severed his relation last season. after securing the ground work for the snappy team now hand led by Clark Griffith. This season he has kept his Rochester team well in
 front despite great opposition from the other mines.
 Pitcher Clark of the Chattanooga
 team in the South Atlantic League yesterday shut out the Knoxville club in the latter city in a nine inning
 game without run or the semblance
 of a hit. Only one man reached first,
 that individual being safe when the
 catcher muffed an easy poy fly. Old Doc Bunyan put the ball too
 hard on Cy Mcdonald at first base
 yesterday on a throw from Gibbs, and
 as a result his fingers came in con-
 tact with McDonaldis spikes. It kept Honest John out of the game for the
 day. Lightning McKenna taking his
 place.
 McKenna is a great one handed
 player. Yesterday right after succeed
 ing Bunyan he dropped a thrown ball,
 and followed it up by chasing after a high foul in back of first. Mac did not seem to know he had a glove. for after getting under the ball, he nabbed it with his uncovered grabber. Hilt almost made another perfect
 record in yesterdays swat fest. Four
 hits out of five times up. These rec
 ords are becoming almost daily occur rences for Frank.
 When hassthere ever been seen such
 sWatting on the part of both clubs in one day as at Newfeld yesterday. Had
 Hope not been relieved by Bronkie the
 result would have been in the Orators favor. Of the 39 hits in the whole
