WARM SCRAP OVER IN
THE OYSTER CITY
MCGraW Bests Seager in Fiji
teen Rounds by Very
Slight Margin.

BALTIMORE, Md, July 22.-The MEM
bers of the Eureka Athletic Club who
failed to attend last nights bouts at the
Monumental Theater missed one of the
fastest and most bitterly contested fights
that that club has given in some time
in the tifteen-round battle between Harry
Seager and Terry McGraw.
Referee Buck Alexander gave the deci-
sion to McGraw after slight hesitancy,
and there were some who thought Seager
should have got draw.
Both boys went after each other in
the good old style from the first bell and
delighted the crowd by the way they
mixed it throughout the milling. Seager's
cleverness stood him well in blocking and
getting inside Terry's vicious swings, and
while he hit oftener he lacked the force.
He staggered his man several times.
McGraw worked in many good, hard
punches that punished Seager consider
ably about the middle of the fight, but

round when he sailed in and stung Nc

and missed a vicious swing, but follow
ed with another blow to the face. Nc
Graw who had fought comparatively
clean fight was Missed for hitting in the
clinches Seager ended the round with
a left to the face and light body blow.
In the fourteenth Seager jabbed with
his left, while McGraw followed with a
good body blow Seager landed three
jabs in succession and missed right.
Both swung wildly and McGraw landed
heavily on the kidneys and missed hard
uppercut. Seager followed with several
quick rights and lefts to the face and
body.
In the fifteenth Seager put in several
light jabs in succession. They clinched
and fought themselves to a break Seager
landed on the face and McGraw on the
body Both spared for an opening be-
fore McGraw landed two face blows, and
Seager followed by singing him hard
with a left to the face, which nearly
fioored McGraw. This was the last good
blow before the bell.

NEW YORK. July 22.-Packey McFar-

turned to this country from England on
board the Adriatic, which locked yester
day With Packey were Pat kineally,
his trainer, and John Mcfarland. The
occasion of Packey's visit to London was
to endeavor TO take the lightweight cham
pionship of England from Freddie Welsh
whom he fought at the National Sporting
Club of London, May 80. for a purse of
800 and a side bet of LOCO, the referee
calling the battle a draw.
IF L ever won fight in my life said
Packey to a reporter yesterday. Il won
that one with Welsh. l had him licked
at every angle, and every one in the
house thought L was going to get the de-
cision. There was quite d cOmmotlon
when the referee called it draw. All
of the newspapers commented upon what
they called poor decision. and said
that j had won.
II have a letter from Sir A. Conan
Doyle the famous English author and
lover of fair play, in which he COM
mends my fight. and says he thinks
was entitled to the decision.

nouncement last evening. \ time limit
may be fixed, but if an inning is started
it must be completed even if it runs
from ten minutes to fifteen minutes be-
yond the fixed time. Many complaints
have been. registered by persons who
went out 10 see ball games and found that
an agreement had been reached to call

happens that the club in the lead within

One Member of Lorimer Committee
Thinks There Was Corruption.

Chattanooga, Dec. 1s.-United
States Senator James B. Frazier. who
is at home for the holidays, stated to-
day that the dispatches sent out from
Washington that the report of the sub
committee in the Lorimer investiga-
ton was unanimous were not correct.
Senator Frazier says he had filed
with the committee on privileges and
elections to which the report of the
subcommittee was made a statement
of his views and conclusions. In this
he disagreed witt the other members
of the subcommittee who freed the
election of Senator Lorimer from the
charges of corruption.
He stated in his report that in his
judgment the evidence established the
fact that four members of the Illinois
legislature who voted for Mr.. Lorimer
were bribed to do so. they having con-
fessed that fact and further that they
were bribed by three other members
of the legislature who had voted for
Lormer and that lis conclusions as
stated in his report were that seven
votes cast for Mr.. Lorimer were cor
rupted, or tainted.
