Analyses Temperance Record.
Judge Mann also questioned Mr.. Tuck
er's temperance record. He said that
Mr.. Tucker has been claiming that he
voted. while in Congress. for the "orig-
inal package bill" designed to prevent
liquor shipments from a wet State into
dry State. He said that Tucker has
also claimed that he helped drive LIQUOR
out Of the Valley.
Judge Mann declared that Mr.. Tucker
is trying 20 deceive the people on the
original package" bill vote. He saws
that the Congressional Record shows
that Mr.. Tucker voted against the bill
instead Of for Il, as he has claimed.
Judge Mann says that Mr.. Tucker failed
TO vote for local option in Staunton and
Lexington when he had two opportunities
he said that Mr.. Tucker explains. IL he
failed 20 vote. he must have been out OF
town looking after his duties as a Con
gresham IN Washington" Judge Mann
then pointed out that at the time the
Staunton election was held, on August %.
1891, Congress was not In session. Il
having adjourned March 2, 1891.
Judge Mann also called upon Mr.. Tuck
er to publish the correspondence bearing
upon the Federal judgeship application.
He also dared his opponent to tell who
were the men who saw the President IN
his behalf for the judgeship

rounds was the best that has been wit
messed in long time.
OF course Burns is much heavier and
larger than Moorhead, but he is a fight
er. too, and the Hammond fans are
anxious to see him try some of the
other good men who are in the game
in this locality
Referee Carl Anderson called the
bout draw, but the general impress
sion was that Burns had shade the
best of the argument and that Moor
head could not have withstood his on
slsughts for any great length of time.
Jack Tierney and Jack Livingston
went on for three rounds OF exhibition
lighting. Livingston was good but
Tierney, in a flash of real lighting at
the finish Of the third round, showed
that he was the better man.
Two boys. introduced as Battling
Nelson and Packey Mcfarland. put UP
an interesting preliminary bout of four
rounds. The crowd was a good one
but the management was slow in pull
ing off the fights and the waiting was
tiresome.

JOHNNY HERRICK HITS CANVASS
IN FIRST ROUND Of HIS FIGHT
Billy Moorhead and Bobby Burns Furnish Best Fight
For Patrons of West Hammond Fights
Good Crowd in Attendance

When Johnny Herrick of West Pull
man was introduced to the members
of the Columbia Athletic club he was
dubbed the Chicago Whilrwind."
About two minutes later some one shut
off the sunshine and when Johnny
awoke a few minutes later and peered
into the face of Jack Drumgoole of
Chicago, his conqueror, he realized that
if there was a whirlwind about it must
have struck him.
After the gong rang for the main
bout and the principals stepped into the
ring, it seemed to Johnny Herrick that
every time he opened his eyes there
was a big yellow glove making for his
nose at express train speed.
The excitement was intense as both
fighters were represented by a large
number of enthusiastic supporters.
There was some talk about odds and
there were offers of money in amounts
up to 5000, but all seemed to be talk
and there was little or no money ex-
changed on the result of the fight
BIufhng, Not Betting.
In the betting the odds were 5 to 2
and to l in favor of Drumgoole. One
of Herrick's supporters called a $40
to IS offer and it came near starting a
rumpus before the matter was finally
settled.
The main bout lasted about two min
utes. The punch which did the bust
ness was delivered Immediately after
the two fighters had broken from the
first clinch. From that time ont it was
apparent that Herrick, as a wonder or
whirlwind. was simply pipe dream.
Some estimates place the number of
times that Drumgoole knocked Herrick
down at five and others say seven, but
the facts are that the West Pullman
wonder" was sprawling on the floor
most of the time, and his seconds
should have thrown up the sponge
sooner than they did
After Herrick first ran into a real
punch he was helpless. He did not
seem to even know how to cover prop
erly. He was so green that he did not
take the count Of nine to recover his
senses, but got onto his feet immedi-
ately, only to run into another of those
punches Finally the Herrick seconds
decided that it was all off with their
man and the bout was ended.
Burns a Fighter.

test of the evening was that between

WELCOMES SUNSHINE
Cub Manager Puts Squad
Through Stiff Pace at
Hot Springs.

Hot Springs, Ark, March 11-Man-
ager Frank Chance and the pitchers
and catchers of the Chicago Cubs hit
the best weather of their stay in Hot
Springs today and worked like Troians
for more than two hours. The man who
ladies out the weather APPARENTLY re-
Tented and gave Manager Chance and
his men a clear sky and great quanti-
ties of sunshine
As a result the Cubs cavorted about
the grounds Of the pirates. There was
scarcely department Of the game that
they did not practice. They led off with
the pitchers getting the kinks out Of
their arms. Overall, Brown, Pnester
Lundgren and Kroh had the perspira-
ton pouring from them.
Then Lundgren took the slab and
for half an hour the regulars whaIed
at the ball in an effort to strike their
batting gait. They showed they had
lost something of their batting eyes
during the winter, but they hit them
on the line when they did connect
Chance next put the entire squad
through some bunting practice that
was revelation to the natives. There
were many spectators and they cheered
every scintillating play. The Cubs
now hgure on leaving Hot Springs on
Sunday afternoon, a day earlier than
they expected.
They will reach Shreveport at noon
Monday. in time for an afternoon work
out. All play will cease and real hard
work will be the order of the day when
the Louisiana city is reached. Man
ager Chance SO far has been unable to
get glimpse at some of the young
sters on his squad. They will receive
a thorough looking over when the two
squads join.
Overall Is the wonder Of the bath
house here. The colored rubbers mar
vel at him every time he comes in for
a bath They declare they have seen
many men in their day, but never one
with the physique that the big pitcher
possesses.

but were compelled to spend part of the
night at the home of George Paris, a

Late in the evening, he managed to
secure quarters at the Dominion. a
downtown hotel. Johnson took his

hotel, but when every one he visited
followed the same policy, he became
indignant. At the last place he ex-
pressed his opinion freely.
Johnson, who is te depart for Chicago

Def TO JEFFERIES
Sends Telegram and Has a
New York Attorney Pre-
sent Another Challenge.

New York, March 1.-THE question
was put up to Jim Jeffries in ratbers
strong fashion today. He received a
double def from Jack Johnson, the col
ored man who now boasts the worlds
championship. The first was in the
form of telegram in which Johnson
announced himself as willing and Gag
er to meet Jeffries. The message was
from Vancouver, and stated that john
son would agree to fight Jeffries ten
rounds in New York or would go forty
five rounds with him on the coast.
The second def was of a more startl
ing nature. 1t came when JEFF was
arraigned before Magistrate Harris on
a charge of violating the law by giving
public boxing exhibitions in a theater
Immediately the court had discharged
JEFF. ]. Frank Wheaton, a colored at
torney representing Johnson, handed
Jeffries a formal challenge. JEFF read
the def and then Kissed 'Ha-ha! Well
see!" Here's the very note:
Dear Sir: My client Mr. John
Johnson, the worlds heavyweight
champion. desires me to inform Won
that he will be glad to meet Won at
my office, 357 West Forty fourth
street, to complete ARRANGEMENTS

WITH THE PUGs.

The match between John Willie and
Sam Langford has been called off. Willie
claims to have corded a bunch of mus
cles while running over hard roads in
his training work for his recent fight
with Al Kubiak. He has come back to
Chicago to stay until he is again fit to
fight. Willie denies that he is afraid
of Langford. He declares he would
welcome a chance to meet him. but SAYS
he would be foolish to fight when han
dicapped by an injury. Willie had seven
fights down east and did not lose any
OF them.
Johnny Coulon is back home after a
series of victories over some OF the <est
eastern bantams. Johnny did well
financially this trip east for the first
time since he has been going down to

tests. Johnny says he beat every man
he fought, New York newspaper stories
to the contrary notwithstanding
